  1. @OWL I hope the red pill work fast, because I'm beginning to get a bit nervous... hehehehe...
  2. Very deep indeed. I must say that I agree with you, at least at this moment.
  3. Learning that we have no purpose in life helped me to do whatever I want to do. I see it like if we were a blank paper where you can do whatever you imagine. And then, if you are not happy with what you just achieve, you can change!!! hehehehe.... Try to do whatever you enjoy, there must be something you enjoy. Make that your purpose in life. :-)

  5. @Khin Thank you very much, I didn't understand it that way. Very clarifying, cool.

  6. Your Favourite Quote

    abrakamowse replied to Julian's topic in Personal Development -- [Main]

    Christ when he said we must learn to love even our enemies seemed so powerful to me... Now I have a better understanding of it :-) "If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them. And if you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners do the same." Jesus
  7. @Spacious I am practicing to be a comedian, I hope to get better with time. Anyway, there are successful comedians that are as bad as me hahahaha
  8. When other people come to lurk here at the forum to see what we are talking about, they must be thinking, those are just a bunch of nuts!

  11. Share Your Dream

    My dream is to be able to live full time of my drawing. I like illustration, comics, animation, video game programming, etc.
  12. I don't know everything, we know only from our experiences, and that can be helpful to others sometimes. It's like a reference in our path. We help each other to grow. No one pretends to know everything. Besides, reading about others having similar difficulties like the ones we face is also helpful and enlightening.
  13. @Luna Wilde I am actually using one of the techniques shared by Leo, it is called mindfulness meditation. Probably you saw it already. Here it is in case you didn't. http://www.actualized.org/articles/mindfulness
  14. Very interesting @Khin . One thing that it came to my mind was that Leo said that we are "reality", if I understood that well. And we basically are nothing. That part is the most difficult to understand for me at the moment hehehe.... Thanks for your comments!

  16. @Genghis Khan very true, I am still in the process of accepting that there's no "me" or "I"... that's a hard one Lol. Accepting there's no free will took me a lot, I hope it doesn't take me so much to accept the absence of "me", thanks for the insight.

  17. I Feel Fucked Up!

    abrakamowse replied to zasa joey's topic in Mental Health, Serious Emotional Issues

    I had a similar problem before, if you are very depressed maybe you will need professional help. The problem is the same that I had, overthinking. We think too much, is better just to enjoy what you are doing and not think about anything. I know is hard, in my case being so down helped me to come back again to the real path or to my path. Try to draw, or do anything that you like and when you are doing it check how you feel. If you enjoy doing it and you are not so depressed you will find the way. finding the things that make you feel good is a good start, like @The Alchemist said, think what are your favorite hobbies.

    I am 47 if that makes you feel better hehehe...
  19. There's some good things, I still need to work others... Root:open(19%) Sacral:under-active(12%) Navel:open(50%) Heart:over-active(69%) Throat:open(56%) Third Eye:under-active(0%) Crown:open(62%)
  20. There's no free will, that is true. But we don't know it. It's good for you to understand it from a theory perspective, right now we are not aware of that so we just do whatever we need to do. The important thing about free will is to understand that nothing is under our control. Not even enlightenment. The best way is to let it go, stop controlling things, try to be mindful, aware of what's happening, observing your actions like someone who is not you, like if you study an object and let awareness come to you by itself. Don't change nothing, continue doing what you do, and meditate a lot. The most useful meditation that I found is the one that Leo posted who is called mindful meditation. http://www.actualized.org/articles/mindfulness-meditation
  21. Thanks! @HGGabrielF

  22. What To Do When Commuting?

    abrakamowse replied to Julian's topic in Personal Development -- [Main]

    I totally agree with Yavor, I am also a note taker. And the same thing happened to me, I thought I have to memorize everything and that's not true. So, having a notebook close to me and a pencil is also a way to spend commutes wisely. I really want to begin to work on mind maps, they say it's an awesome way to help and improve your memory.
  23. Ok, I'm actually working on a printing company doing graphic design and prepress and I feel a bit stuck. So, I'm looking to expand and to grow as a designer. I had a proposal from another printing and advertising company to create websites for them and become a partnership in that area. That's good to me because they have much more customers than me, so that would be of help to begin because I won't need to be worried too much about getting new customers. To really be able to work more on that side of the business I need more customers, I am also an illustrator and a web designer. The main focus right now is on design for printing, that's what I know. Postcards, business cards, letterheads, magazines, etc. But I am also doing websites and I want to do applications for cell phones and games probably. So I feel like a have many areas and I am not focusing on what to do, you can notice it by how disorganized I wrote this post. My first idea for me is to focus on marketing, I need customers. I was trying to find out a good company to buy a really good amount of e-mail addresses from business mainly in Manhattan. To make a e-mail marketing campaign in the beginning. I don't have time to go visit business personally, so my idea is to get in contact first via e-mail and go to visit only those business which can show some interest in my service. Any suggestion??? Thanks!!!!
  24. @Leo Gura Cool, thanks again! Your advice will help me to continue trying and not give up until I find the formula that it works for me.
  25. @Leo Gura thank you very much for your advice, I will keep in mind what you are telling me. Good to know. I always tend to think that there's like a magic formula for marketing that I didn't know , hehehehe... it's good to know so my expectations are not very high. I will try several methods to see which one work better. Thanks again! and thanks for this forum, very helpful really.
