In the past (and also now), people didn't care for the environment in many cities. This caused them to have diseases and to not live for 80-90 years tops. It's the individuals that create the environment, it's not like it maintains itself. If you want to destroy it, sure.

Have you ever heard someone saying something like „I will stay happy and fulfilled for the rest of my life, because I had sex with a woman!“...? Do you think, that you haven't heard anyone saying this, because almost nobody has enough sex? What even is this success, have you ever actually thought about it? Is success just the getting into a relationship, or is it more of a growing process, sustaining a healthy relationship full of compassion and honesty, which is always growing?

I am glad that you went back to basics with Actualized.org, many people here need it

Only to people who are high green or above and only when they show interest, otherwise it's not that great of an idea.

As the latest video on Actualized.org suggests, you would benefit from contemplating what „being rewarded“ actually means.

@Wekz Have you seen the latest video? Leo goes more in-depth into this.

@Michael569 I heard that there are two types of peanut butter, the other one is very healthy from what I've heard.

Ok, I need to get better at knowing what these feelings mean... And work harder.

@Serotoninluv So how do you prevent misdiagnosis? I often have a weird feeling about people (I often listen to my feeling and intuition, sometimes it goes really well, sometimes it sucks) and I don't know what it is. I had this feeling with Yellow girl as well. I don't know which of us is right or wrong, I don't care, I think she can learn from both, but how do I make it so that I don't actually underestimate the problem, without going too far? Is my question clear?

Why do you think that is the case? I actually had a very similar problem, I freaked out many people by talking to them like this and it turned out, that I was also very egotistical and harsh when interacting with my family members... I think that by fixing your relationship with your parents and siblings is a big opporunity to grow Obviously, we cannot know, if this is exactly her case, but you know, it very well could be from what she was saying. It doesn't have to be a big disfunction, sometimes it's just a little bit of arguing and stuff... Edit: I also had some repressed emotions and traumas, again, not something crazy, but yeh...

I know from a personal experience and from some people who told me about this as well, that people have nightmares, when they are working on their life and a lot of negative things are surfacing, I think it's a good sign actually Idk about the physical part though, do you stretch? Yeh, thinking about nonduality is very different from feeling it.

This is exactly why you suffer. You are trying to reconstruct that, which is dysfunctional.

If you didn't have parents who hugged you everyday when you were a baby, you would probably be depressed and miserable. The highest forms of understanding are not intellectual.

@Yellow_Girl Yellow is a made up thing, if spiral dynamics didnt exist, you would still suffer.

Breathing with one nostril is something totally different, at least for me... I think that you need to control it, before it becomes natural. Then, when you become good at it, you can become a swing door, that just lets the wind blow in and out.

Have you tried talking with him about it? Try to find his attachments, his fears, make them surface by questioning him.

It is really difficult not to trail off on the spiritual path. It's important to be non-needy and independent, but enjoying people's company and getting help from your loved ones is absolutely ok. Maybe he should contemplate this issue, what is he scared of, what is he running away from?

We are just humans, we can do mistakes, not everybody fits into your definition of smart. If you expect this to be like this, it is a problem. Maybe there are still many things for you to learn from not-smart people, just be patient.

Not at all It's good bro.

If you just keep practicing, breathing deep into the stomach will become natural, just be consistent with it. Do you think, that people have to take you seriously, that you are something more now?

What about just throwing this model away and pay attention to the things, that are causing your suffering, rather than trying to fit into some category?

@David Hammond Cringe with the capital C

@David Hammond These quotes are kind of cringy though lol ?

wow thanks, I was first introduced to this kind of breathing in a zen book. I never thought about going from sleep state into meditation, maybe I can try it the next time i wake up late at night
