now is forever

there is this group game in germany called silent mail - it’s about information loss. it goes like this: one person thinks about a word, a complicated one and whispers it in the ear of the next one and that person into the ear of the next - the last one says the word out loud. today it was: virtue signaling

well on me it has an impact. question is just, what will i do with it? virtue signaling of course!

thanks joseph for sharing! really nice find! it’s still so cute

make a list of the most, most, most famous successful people you can think of and write next to every single one if they where authentic or not.

this might be correct, it’s still not easy to swim against the stream and live life differently even though it’s more awake. there are always people who try to tell us there would be a norm on how to be or what to do - and yes a lot of people just give in, to what they think is the best lifestyle. the tv tells them with every picture what this is and as the neighbor does the same, so it can’t be wrong! @Chives99 it’s hard to see how that works and how we can’t change anything if people are not open for change. so don’t focus on changing the others and try to not focus on what they do wrong - find out about the things they do right and try to talk or do these things with them. it doesn’t mean you have to marry them, but maybe you‘ll share more valuable moments.

@outlandish that reminds me of when my mom let us do playful yoga - she asked us stuff like if we can put our feet behind our head or go into lotus. it just triggered us to try, as she said she can’t do that and she told us there where hundred year old beardy men in india, who lived in forests who still could do that like children. that was enough to play yogis the whole day. and to try if i could still do that minimum once a year. but today you can just send them to yoga class or give them a youtube video.

when i look on the first chart it is kind of interesting how it is drawn more like an ergonomic chart - i suppose it explains somehow the interconnectedness of the extremities to the chacras. it’s visible in the green equilibrium points, what sets the arms and hands in correlation to the heart - i really like that as i love hands. (don’t give me a ?‍♀️ facepalm) we need hands existentially, we reach out to others with hands, we give food and life with hands, too. without hands there would be no us, no human but also no inhuman. so it seems to be somehow right to connect them to the heart chacra. but then i don’t really understand why the feet got another colour than the muladhara- maybe because it’s earth contact... i understand that it’s a little different as the feet don’t really have similar functions as the hands - but i think without walking barefoot from time to time there is no proper rooting in ourselves. so they overlapped symbolically but not in their colour - wonder if that’s a cultural thing (like feet are dirty?) also wonder what i should do with the „grounding in reality“ metaphor, keep it? maybe just delete that phrase and exchange it with grounding to earth, it’s really also different - barefoot is good. ah now i get it, when i look on the second chart: either no socks or rainbow socks, wonder what works best.

so there are different chacra systems - 7chacra systems and 9chacra systems and even they differ -i want to figure out similarities and which one is the better for me to work with. i suppose when someone mastered the chacras he/she can even go on further and find out about other energy knots like acupressure points or acupuncture points.

this morning i realized my emotions completely overshooted i‘m just a raw egg protector while everyone is hunting meat - no one cares if the raw egg gets broken in the process. i forgot for a moment that in the end we are all selfresponsible. it’s one thing to take responsibility and another to get anxious about not being able to. a situation like that will just pass by - even though a little painful. here it’s even better as usually because almost everyone tries to take part in a certain way. and most are much more skilled than i.

at the moment i‘m baffled about how decentered situations get if no anchorpoint is around. including the selfcannibalizing me. why am i still so hopelessly dependent. there is a lot of nervousness and insecurity around, a little hysteria and demeanor a lot of down relativating and some courage pow wow. nothing has changed except the awareness. actually it may be a good starting point for muladhara... just realized. as muladhara is blocked if we have insecurities in disconnection from a source. i feel disconnected from a group if there is a feeling of aimlessness as i get the feeling i have to do something then against the rising doubts. and then creativity has its limits. i get stuck in the essence of a thought, unable to unwind the equation backwards.

he‘s gone, too. it’s just pointless - he said that for a while already. but he also said you can heal kundalini with everything - or was it heal everything with kundalini. maybe we just all do some kriya.

@Hellspeed

@Rilles with sds you mean software defined storage? just asking

is this spoken from a dual or non dual perspective?

it’s quite interesting isn’t it - and how the teachings die every minute because the scholars won’t die a single death.

about the pie division - maybe that’s why marie antoinette said: why don’t they eat cake - in reality she wanted to point towards a better sharing or organisation of resources. she was greatly underestimated for her time, for sure. poor soul.

using the rest of the day and the next ones to channel everything about setting things up anew. day one is resetting time - so that accounts for: 1. what goals for 2019 understanding the chacras and kriya from the scratch/roots (would be muladhara) intense spiral work - setting up a dynamic spiral map my business idea - have to plan everything out and do it. following through with the life purpose course - (already started but then paused) - for longterm perspectives setting up inquiry and self inquiry practice - integrating questioning deeper in everyday life alternating yoga and meditation practice (setting up body/mind) implementing deconstruction/letting go practice maybe one hour in the evening - it‘s a sorting out practice, could be the sorting out of anything better pie division 2. my new laptop 3. what motto/brightstar to follow 2019 building roots/ foundation/ muladhara (for the first half at least) everything is connected within me

then just unshaved?

drop the e for ego

it’s amazing how the standards dropp when he‘s not around - in the end it’s always on his cost - i wonder who’s ego death this really is! maybe he just wants to teach us that we don’t really know what suffering is - as we don’t understand the nonduality of suffering yet. i guess he really earned his new years solo retreat (just guessing) by talking agains walls of nothing all the time. guess it’s rather time to roll out the matt’s or set up the meditation cushion - time to recenter.

i think partially it’s possible to find answers already in montessori education, but also in steiner pedagogy as he already integrated the idea of phylogenesis = onthogenisis in his development theory. guess it’s a matter of boiling these down to an open, free experimental concept and then integrating shadow etc. and the right rituals at the right time.

i wonder if there are books about spiraldynamics in child development- would be really interesting to gather all the information - i think parallel to what colour we get educated by our parents, or in school, there are different development stages in children. i mean not to educate them in a special way, but to understand what content they are open to get in contact with. answers are not just found on the street, if no one presents us the questions at the right moment. writing a book like that could even be a temporary life purpose.

why the bavarians? they don’t wear leather pants anymore you know but it’s still impossible to understand a word they are saying - and you mean a build-a-beer? you know i‘m geographically speaking on paper a born bavarian - and i don’t speak their language and still you see you can’t understand a word i‘m saying.

mhh i‘m neither british nor american. so in german it would be something like a little miffed or so.

it is exactly because you are the most funny character here joseph - you are so cute in being pissed ?
