now is forever

@Shin i‘m definitely bananas ? but i like mango.

you know the gods lost the wars, thats why they went into hiding! greek myths show that that humans can make it. i‘m the ego i wear an invisible cape. you can’t see me because it smells like lemons.

no experience designs skeptics. @Liger it’s funny as i grew up in an atheist family, so i did the opposite, i became a believer. but the belief i found was not what someone told me it was what remained after removing what is not true. so i suppose if you can’t be happy because of ignorance it is better to be unhappy without because you at least try to find bliss in truth. i guess the agnostic approach will distance you from dogmatism but there are still things you believe in don’t you? like love or other humans. you can prove to yourself.

@pluto definitely difficult - spiral dynamics could help a lot though if people selfassess enough. we can’t step out of the system while being part of it

@pluto i‘d call them the unilluminati it‘s a conspiracy theory serving conspiracies. finding scapegoats against illumination. first signs of awakening but some get unfortunately stuck there.

@Key Elements maybe she‘d like to move into green, but it’s probably hard in the showbusiness because the star phenomenon is pretty much orange, or at least the surrounding - is there any star who doesn’t own an oversized villa and too many cars for one person. probably one or two but i suspect it’s pretty difficult. the air is orange at the top.

there in the first few minutes, when they lift the skirt and everyone screams.... did she fart? maybe they constructed a machine that transmits a rose scent everytime they lift the skirt. the empresses new cloths, she can barely walk in her shoes. not so sure how orange that is - certainly a lot of pink and black. if you see it from a travesty point of view it’s not so orange. although it will barely change anything.

it’s very pitoresque! only if the little village and the stairs were not there!

the mona lisa guy was gay.

if you go deeper it’s not only medicine it’s explaining the psyche, too. don’t confuse metaphysics with alchemy.

@tsuki if you knew you knew i did not say anything about it being problematic that mechanics and creative fit together... i‘m an industrial designer i‘m the impersonification of an alchemist... it’s just that theoretical alchemy is a little mechanical. the three doshas have indeed an opposite it’s not like body-soul-spirit - but it’s probably a good reflection to see that ama is the fourth player in the doshas.

today i got a massive wakeup call. ego is ego it always hides behind you - if you turn around to catch it, it turns around with you. even if you look into the mirror you might not see it - you‘d only see a shapeshifter and maybe a little bit of your shadow.

well the better self

as i am approaching the day of my entering the stratosphere of this forum on the pirouetting planet around the sun. and regarding the new episode of “chapters” - maybe it’s time to close the one year chapter with a statement and a confession. may 2018 to may 2019 i fell in love with love itself - that means i fell in love with all of you including myself. thank you guys n girls ?

one tree can produce thousands more seeds - we plant them, but it all depends on the incubator if they grow love you @pluto

@Truth Addict didn’t want to criticize you, you are probably right and it’s even hard that a lot of intelligent young people (especially men) have fleed from the country, when what the country certainly mostly needs now is intelligent progressive young people to rebuild itself. maybe that’s why the country would really do good in keeping the young intelligent women in supporting their rights - but even if it’s tough for a male in syria - the ones who still have to swallow the most are the women, and maybe nothing much will change for them, while the guys can catch up at one point. germany for example only made it because of the women who rebuilt it in the first years - you also can hope for the guys that will return, because they will - not everyone who took the turkey route will be allowed to stay, you maybe forget that, it was not the easy route - it’s was the surviving route.

well it depends who and if sidra has to marry and if she wants to or not and if it’s accepted if she doesn’t want to or choose for herself. of course freedom is only found within if you can make your peace with the situation. i wonder, some people here me including are even challenged with the choices they made for themselves. i also like to wear a halo in my spare time.

@Sidra there are other options but i would not suggest them as all of them bear a lot of risks of either loosing a lot of money or more. you could maybe try to get support by a woman’s rights organisation, i don’t know, maybe you’d even find study support in that direction in the usa but well yeah, i would not count on that entirely, as they also probably have their hands full.

well i would not recommend the united states because there you need to pay study fees. you could also go to a south american country or to russia or asia - but ultimately if you run from islamic dogmatism you’d want to go to a non muslim country. i suggested europe because there are already women from other muslim countries who have very similar experiences - you could find communities there to support you mentally. and if you still want to be in contact with religious people you can do that, too. but be aware that it will not be easy as europe also struggles with some kind of counter reaction to the refugee waves, the fear of too many, so you will also find people who will be hostile or unfriendly towards strangers. and it might also be difficult to get accepted to a university because there are already a lot in the waiting loop. so i’d probably try a selection of countries to get the chances up - i’d try to figure out which countries would fit the best for you. i suppose at the moment as a girl you’d even have more chances than as a guy.

@Sidra wow, well there are some options, but it will certainly be tough to do it. one option is to study abroad in a country without study fees. if you’d do that you would need to work pretty hard and consequent in one or maybe two part time jobs and live in a student dorm or a shared housing. i guess it’s still possible to study abroad in european countries. be sure to have a plan b though.

reminder: if you try bacopa (brahmi) try ashwaghanda along with it - really! i met this guy who took a lot of different supplements he also had adhd he said ashwaghanda was his thing. also just search for yoga to calm the mind on youtube, you could also search for yoga for adhd- it’s good to start there, more convenient than to start at zero, they actually know what zero needs. find a youtube teacher who is good with telling you when and how to breath - that’s the most important if you do youtube yoga! you don’t even need a mattress to start. when i started i did yoga without mattress for half a year, just bought one for the knees later. so you can check if it is your thing before you buy a mattress. you can start now or tomorrow, super easy!

? all people who lived in the ddr where psychotic! well most of them, some where normies.

do you have l-theanin? if you can get it somewhere close by - it might work better than coffee.

yeah, don’t be a grey sheep. black, white everything fine, don’t be grey. as grey is the new black.

could also be this: matrioshka dog (spiral dynamics dog grey)
