@Someone here Hey thanks for helping, I do appreciate it a lot. Read this please: "...You should examine this very closely. With a simple glance, you instantly take the tremendous detail of whatever you are looking at. If you see a tree, you effortlessly see the branches, the leaves, the flowering buds. Why do you have to verbalize what you have already seen?" (Singer, 2007) @Someone here please tell me do you verbalize it like this? I do not. In fact this is crazy...why do you have to repeat everything you see? for whom will you be doing it? Do you register your body movements? I do, very often. P.S. I think I have an idea how to help you quit smoking. Sorry for the random thought, I remember you asked this on forum.

Weird how it works, because I was just watching his video last night "What Do You Desire?" and had the same thought in my mind.

If everyone is beautiful and happy, how would you evolve even as a human being? Think about living in a fairy tale all the time...you won’t be able to call it a “ fairy tale” anymore? How would you define between happy and unhappy, ugly/pretty if it would be the case? Evolution will cease to exist if variety has gone.

@cetus never knew he dad a channel.

Just realized that this topic should be under another category. Moderators, can you please remove it from this section. Thank you and sorry about it. I thought it was under "Life Purpose, Career, Entrepreneurship" Hey guys I wanted to ask this question for a long time. I really want to improve my vocabulary. However, I am tired to use index cards all the time. Question for the English native speakers...how do you improve, expand your vocabulary and turn away from vernacular language? I know academic reading helps, but I am looking for a different approach, new method. A lot of new words I learn do not stick for a long time. Especially after summer break and when not involved in academic writing. Thank you. P.S. I love reading and hearing new words, I love when people use very interesting phrases. Here, I am talking about advanced vocabulary, maybe words that even native speakers do not use that often in their lexicon.

Apparently, the topic starter and other people will be upset if we derail this thread, lol so...can not continue this conversation. All I can say is that you are the fifth Aquarius I am meeting on this forum. Anyway, it is all irrelevant, you are absolutely correct.

@Someone here No need to say anything, I already know you, lol. I can give you some generic characteristic of who you are, without knowing you personally. I love astrology.

This is very naive statement...sorry. If your sun sign is not in Libra, Gemini and Aquarius, let's bet that your moon probably would be in one of those signs. Can almost guarantee this. So just for fun, am I correct in my statement or not? But be honest. I just want to prove you my point.

@Someone hereI know you are...This forum is full of Libras, Geminis and Aquariuses. You probably one of them. Knowledge should be the highest value. I know people here on this forum will say it will distract us from pursuing the Truth, but we have to get there somehow, through knowledge first, right?

@Someone here I'm surprised you've started to read it in the first place. I am not being sarcastic, but hey, how many people even reading nowadays. Everybody is so busy, mama mia!

@cetus Here is his website: https://www.chuckhillig.com/

@Someone here how is the book? finished already?

@Harikrishnan yep, this is from emotional mastery.

Currently my understanding and reasoning resembles yours. It is so true, experience is all we know...

Wow, I am jealous, it is not in my cards yet I had the same feeling when I was in love , therefore in the past I chased that over and over again. Being in love is kinda like a drug. But the consequences was a depression when love is over. I think I know what you mean exactly because dopamine is a hormone that triggers that state, everything as in fairy tale. In the past I had the same attitude, when in love ,life was great with a direction, when not was absolutely meaningless. Work on self-development, even little incremental changes can add to the pot. Maybe find a meetup in your area and mingle with like minded people. Maybe have a vacay somewhere, even in your state for couple of days. Life is magical when meeting the right people. Have a a session with someone who is in topic. You need to find yourself an inspiration or someone who can inspire you. ? just ask a universe to send you some guidance and inspiration and it will, but be patient.

Cool, just placed the order to read on my upcoming vacay. I need a book to read on the beach. Thanks, that was a good recommendation. Also, have you come across Hillig, do you know the guy? I really think he is a great person.

About four years ago I found this book “Seeds for the Soul” by Chuck Hillig. I really loved the book, had a change to have a counseling session with the author as well. There he described the technique where you painstakingly observe your feelings and thoughts at the moment of suffering. By doing so it helps to reduce the tension, and actually it helps to dissolve the inner pain. It helps me a lot. All the time when I have a heavy feeling in my chest or when crying. By putting your awareness on the feeling/thought you help to reduce the tension and negative sensation. Either seat down or lay down in your bed/sofa and observe the feeling, try to pinpoint it, where it comes from, what causes it, etc. It will reduce it significantly. Put as much attention on the feeling as possible. I promise you are going to melt it down with your awareness. This is so interesting how our negative feelings lose their power in the light of the awareness. Awareness does the magic. It is like a dawn with a pretty morning sun beam. Observe, observe, observe....as much as you can till your attention burns any distractions down. I know it is not what you were asking in your question, but I feel like this technique can be used when grounding yourself in the present moment. First, scan yourself for any feelings or thoughts, drop them, become empty. This trick will set you for the next step. My take on it if you can not ground yourself in the present moment, probably something bugs you. Observe anything that might distract you.

Leo, how can we explain this sweetest feeling of peace and pleasure while sleeping? Every night I go to bed I have this amazing experience of indescribable lightness, deep pleasure...almost like a bliss. It lasts couple of seconds when I wake up. But a soon as I remember myself as human being, as Galyna, it triggers me back to this usual state of consciousness. I always wonder is it how this powerful God mode feels?

Thank you, Elton? I have OneNote, plus index cards everywhere. However, I tend to forget my new words. I use Google translator every day, on top of that I have a special chrome extension. But some words don’t stick for a long time. For instance, I know the word “yield” which is pretty common, right? However, it took two attempts of mine to memorize the word “succumb” which is cooler, imo. Same with “overlap” and “superimposed”, the first one used in a regular language, the second one tends to be more in academic one. thanks for you feedback ?

Hahaha, quizlet for vocabulary? Nah... That is a good idea, never thought about it this way in order to enhance my cognitive learning, however I am a visual learner. Agree. Thank you for your feedback, much appreciated.

What part of Russia are you from? my dad lives in Moscow, according to his stories that I hear in Skype, you guys had a very mind winter this year. Actually this threw me off guard because Russia is a country with a cold climate.

Posting this video here to have it in my collection on my profile's activity. Just to able to hear this words over and over again.

Yep, ultimately I have to merge with it, to become it

I like the way you answering me, thank you. Actually by asking you, I am trying to decompose it myself. Okay, personally for me anything is awareness (always of something). Our minds like to think with categories.

Thank you for your response. I do apologize if I wrote something to upset you or if it looks like I am picking on you. I promise I am not. Talking with newbies is cool because it helps me to grasp some things better. So you said that the mind is a collections of things like: thoughts, memories and images. But what are they if we study them separately? What is an image? I love it, lets keep going
