Interesting, I like it! Will let it soak in and see if I have any visions of how it’d go down

@Karla share the list, I don’t believe it’s as bad as you’re making it out to be also maybe consider cultivating curiosity and letting go of your sense of time. This way immersion will be your salvation into knowledge ?

Of course silly ?

The entire thread is written as a fragment, part of the whole thinking experience needs or should be a certain way is resisting what is and denying wholeness

@Bill W in the process of creating a thread now which shall possibly shed some light on this subject and give you a deeper understanding of what is going on here our minds conditionally react to our own mistakes and new found wisdoms which continuously give rise to more and more illusion/misperceptions/fragmentation/ expansion/experiences/ideas And there is nothing “wrong” with these world views. It’s all seemingly necessary until it’s not. this is all I’ll say for now glad you enjoy the post, it’s been a recent conceptualized insight for me

Enlightened ego ? Enlightened world views trying to communicate to a “normal” world views it’s like a bird trying to explain to a fish what it’s like to live out of the water ?

How to be the superior @Shin interesting dont think one can reach this perfect version simply through principle and sheer will It’s a journey of trial error failure and humility, filled with learning and integration

Fasting and exercise will most likely play a part as well!

because ending one's life isn't what most people want. It's what people might deem the "easy way out" when their perceived life becomes unbearable. We can easily say life is suffering, but suffering will always be 'self' defined, influenced by our focus. When suffering becomes someone's problem it is because they do not understand themselves well enough

@jbram2002 you guys should move to a big city. Maybe you need real friends. It is hard for me to understand this gamer jargon but none of it means anything. Are you happy being you? You need to focus on the aspects you wish to change, and start identifying the root. Honestly i am not sure what you wish to accomplish in being on here. I feel as if im in the same boat, but I know what i am and it goes beyond all my beliefs. I would really enjoy seeing you and mandy doing some shadow work together, even making a vid All the best man

@Shadowraix @Truth Addict It’s all about putting thought in its place we can never know as the ego, simply depends how we perceive it

Let the root come to you...when you’re triggered by trauma, welcome it with open arms, sit and listen, learn and love dont get in the way of yourself, just observe and let the integrating happen

@Aakash good you realize it’s not enough to understand intellectually what our problems are...next is to dive into the emotional body, heal the inner child and even change the experience from the past this is what I’ve been learning about recently

I would love to hear what you find out about this if you decide to research it. I played the saxophone as a kid, but i still mostly breath through my nose and only ever do stomach breathing unless i feel tense or anxious from something. I think i offered unhelpful advice with the challenge i suggested. You can simply bring observation (nonjudgmental or without analyzing) to your game play/interactions and see if you have any realizations or insight. Later reflect on what you noticed, maybe you can figure out some of your shadows Why do you think you have such a strong need to please others? See if you can notice this quality and your role in your dynamics with friends while gaming.

Your videos keep getting better! Not able to watch the latest yet but the suffering was awesome! Very deep and abstract

@Key Elements yes we have to be able to love ourselves completely to give unconditionally, this is why understanding and being honest about himself in these dynamics is so important. @billiesimon take responsibility friend, question your intentions and perspective, no other way to grow out of your deceptive selfish ways.

Yes and this would be the same for the majority of men not in scarcity or entitlement I question the accuracy and meaning of this claim Men who have a lack of respect for woman they deem unattractive will usually be of an entitled nature/attitude/body language but will act super kiss ass and friendly (quite possibly in a needy way) to the woman they find attractive But men without self respect/confidence/attractiveness will mirror these aspects with every woman they meet, and the highly attractive girls will scare the bageebers out of them. On the other side, a woman who sees herself unattractive reflects this sort of body language and may often get reciprocated attention due to the closedoffness being perceived it’s always having to do with oneself if and when things get to the personal level

Yes you can’t see it yet but basically you put her needs above yours in the way you show up in the relationship/friendship and enforce your own self beliefs based off the reciprocation you expect to receive in your interactions

It is you who doesn't care about your god damn bloody self. Don't project your self beliefs onto her. But if my suggestion doesn't work for your ego then do what you gotta do. Either way you gotta do the work and i wish you the best with that

@billiesimonyoure so attached man...youre best off with this advice

sounds like someone hasn't heard of the moonwalk he's rejection leads to the end of his fake friendship with her and in turn leads to her unnecessary suffering

Dude she was so special to him he changed who he was for her. He didn't act like himself because he could only think about how he might lose her if he expressed himself honestly. If he continues to act in-authentically, he's disrespect for himself will turn into a disrespect for her. He must do the work on his beliefs/perspective

yes it is simply a projection of one's own self beliefs onto her

yeah man. I mean nothing personal in calling you out. I have ended a few friendships just like how he describes and later realized how immature and pointless it was to behave this way. Even seemed to promote my own thought patterns of fearfulness of girls judging my behavior

@ivankiss Your subtle expectation is in holding patience to allow for transformation. That's fine but don't think you can't also have intent! Your art can come from absolutely any opportunity you pounce on! Suffering is fine and all but Love is expressed infinitely. Stay open and don't ever stop working on yourself!
