@Stephen Is a perception of a colorblind person less „real“, than the „normal“ perception? I've asked myself what is real and I've come to the conclusion, that what most people call real is that, which is either the most frequent, or that which fits the survival of the self the best. Think about it, if you have a hallucination, it is a valid experience, you cannot neglect that you see it, it is just that you cannot efficiently move around with it and survive with it etc... Imagine a world, where there would be a certain gene, that would give a person 24/7 mushroom consciousness and still made their body survive in some way, how would that work, would it be „normal“ and „real“ if most people lived ĺike that for their whole lives and were able to communicate it? This what you see right here is just an experience, which appears. All of this is just an experience being experienced, including you and your body, you cannot escape it, because you are it.

@Natasha The same people who sell that are known for faking being in Chernobyl, throwing a firecracker into a bus etc... They are well known idiots in Czech Republic Oh and they are also „treasure hunters“, which means that they are sailing on Vltava with a magnet and picking up old stuff and sometimes money and then they sell their „professional equipment“

@nistake Same with Fullmetal alchemist... I always stay on the mainstream anime like Naruto, Death Note, Attack on Titan... but they are mainstream for a reason Maybe I should try out the less popular ones!

@flowboy I am not saying you shouldn't work on relationships and self-esteem, that's important, but Enlightenment work isn't only about the end result, you can become much more aware and grateful even for the little things in the process and also it is not like you „finish“ the work, it's a constant effort, which is well worth it. It's just that it is hard to do if you base all of your happiness on getting laid.

@abrakamowse Omg that's so genius. I know some youtubers who sell „cursed“ stuff, like dolls and doctor's equipment. They usually buy it and then damage it and make it dirty and then they sell it with some made up story. Mostly children buy it probably.

@RawJudah Every person is looking for the same thing, Alan Watts calls it „the goodie“ They just use different strategies to find it. I think that this „it's the ego's fault“ is just more ego, it is like blaming yourself, but indirectly, because you cannot withstand it.

lmao @kieranperez I wonder how many of these boxes would you have to use every day in order to survive on them... Maybe it could actually be a good business.

Maybe you should put more of your creative energy into your lessons, so they are more interesting and that they seem meaningful to the students, if it doesn't seem meaningful, of course they won't have any questions. When I say that some teachers keep everyone interested, I mean everyone, the people who get C- and below as well. Trust me, I teach children and also adults and when I actually do some preparation (it isn't all that time consuming) the lesson is much better for everyone. I am not saying you shouldn't quit the job, but you can definitely do better. If you don't inspire them, show them meaning, and then you want them to start the initiative... Think of it as a relationship, relationships don't work like that. I think you can make any subject interesting if you understand it well enough

@Gili Trawangan In my experience, if I really want to grow, I need to make some effort with my attention, it is not like you go high and then it stays like it. That is really hard to do, when all of your energy is used on seduction and thinking about sex. It is extremely hard to stay detached and undistracted, probably almost impossible.

@Elham I also have this, I had this feeling of superiority when I started and I felt like I am 100 years ahead of everyone, but now it feels like the consciousness of young people is evolving so quickly that you cannot even really stay at the „top“, so any pride is destructive on this path, it usually leads to hyprocrisy, selfishness and lack of attention.

I know some good teachers, who can make almost anyone interested... But they usually don't let us play, they don't really show weaknesses, unless we've already become friends, it's like they are very strict, they make us disciplined, and then when they see that we've changed, they start to trust us. And also their lessons are really interesting, like it is obvious that they are smart and when someone makes a mistake, they try to find some truth to it. (like yellow thinking) Hope this helps for all the teacher wannabes here

What do you teach?

@Leo Gura Nutella is organic, right?

hahahahahahahahahahaha

@Shaun Rather thing about where would a woman that you want go? What are her values? Do you think you can find her on some dating app?

Ok, you might doubt that, but you cannot really doubt the other things that Wim Hof and his students are able to do, they are just too crazy. Maybe it is well known that cold-exposure meditation and breathing techniques have some effects, but I don't think most people are able to do that, so they are probably onto something, when they elevate this to a whole different level. Also consider that understanding of Wim Hof's physiology is beyond current science's understanding. I also disagree, that the breathing techniques has small effects, it is clearly very effective.

@rnd By drinking beer, you are hurting yourself and you are using it as an escape. There are many distractions in our lives that keep us from self-realizing.

@Shaun I would go with what @Natasha is suggesting, it seems to be working really well for some people that I know Also, how old are you?

@FrankTheTank https://www.wimhofmethod.com/science This is on his website Some of the researches are from the same scientists and some of them are social scientists (I don't really know why) but there are also legit medicine professors among them. I actually haven't googled it before, because I trust everything Wim Hof says But thanks for having me do this. https://www.researchgate.net/publication/323106660_Brain_over_body-A_study_on_the_willful_regulation_of_autonomic_function_during_cold_exposure https://www.pnas.org/content/111/20/7379

That's an amazing realization, but be careful with pride. At least in my experience, I have these clicks, that then kind of stop working and I fall back into the downwards spiral, especially when I get overconfident. But it's awesome that you're on-track

A tool is as good as its user.

@Natasha Hm... I didn't know that Good to know.

@Natasha Are you for real?

I've heard this is not a thing in some parts of the world, even though I always thought it's absolutely normal We eat poppy seeds in Czechia, without it having any weird effects on us.

Great, you will succeed and suffer.
