What do I mean by mental imagery? As one specific example: when closing my eyes I see myself sitting on a shrine or red colored temple up in the brown mountains near a cliff. There’s pink cherry tree petals falling from the sky. Then I am drawn towards the cliff, jump into the dark and take a plunge, arms and legs spread out life flying. Into the abyss. (The character I see is a resemblance of me somehow, viewed from like a 3rd person perspective.) Imagination just goes towards such imagery, it’s not much of a conscious act. I’m curious about some people here being able to navigate life through that kind of imagery. I wonder if it relates to “vision logic” which Leo mentioned in the implicit vs explicit understanding video. Personally as INFJ MBTI personality type, I wonder if it has to do with the Ni function. (If those tangents are of any use.) Well, I’m clueless. What’s there to learn about mental imagery? How do you use it in your life? (This mustn’t be related to the kind of imagery I used for the example above.)

Same here though it's getting remarkably better with breathing exercises, some yoga asanas and stretching (after amazing results in a osteopathic therapy session). What I use as a morning routine are "Dr. Fulford's 7 daily exercises" (for breathing deeply and getting rid of tensions). They were recommended to me by an osteopathic physician. https://drkyle.com/2015/06/25/fulford-exercises/ Though it's best when someone can show you correctly how these are done or if you're able to do them. I haven't found better online sources than this excerpt

Something I've been wondering lately. At times I tend to see someone else "in front of my mental eye" as like the self-image. It seems as though I'm picking up their patterns. I remember it being that way even around like 3 years old, where "in my mind(?)" I spoke like a girl from kindergarten. Right now patterns are putting with my hands in the pockets of my trousers/pants or like looking upwards with eyes wide open, nearly rolling the eyes. And when that happens thought pop into mind like those of a friend or a girl I used to date whom I have experienced doing this. Like totally picking up on those things they did. Also when lying down and stretching I see someone else in my mind doing it, doesn't matter which gender ( maybe could do with animals too) Does anyone experience similar things? Usually I do not see myself as an image in my head (well, now writing this I imagine). Is that a sign of weak self-image? Or like compensating for those people not being there? Like as though the self-image somehow fused with them, or patterns to keep me feeling safe or company. Sorry if this now added to more confusion Well, if someone has insights on that or ways to investigate it further I'd be happy to hear. Have a great day.

So I'm 20 and had my first sexual experiences (though not sex) with a girl from my class some months ago. She had a boyfriend and I knew it. We still did come closer and I invited her on a date and took her home, she was very attracted. Long story short, before that I had been involved in PUA/RedPill Ideology (out of insecurities and lack of experience) but through posts on this forum (from female members like @Emerald, ...) , Leo's videos and those of other YouTubers (and a few female friends) I came to more awareness to what dynamics those ideologies use and what the people in there feel. So *thank you*. She's like the epitome of green in some regards (hehe, sexy witch even) and I was brutally honest about things (probably more like "some") from the beginning, even things that made me uncomfortable. Even going so far as to telling her about the RedPill/PUA(/Incel) things and depression (which we had in common at some point in time). Shared some nice experiences, though some things were off, at least emotionally she wasn't invested that much. I was feeling dull after first encounters as well and I told her. Due to brutal honesty I even texted her at some point that I might be only in it for sex. She said she had her reasons for not going further. I respect her a lot for not having gone further. I had a lot to learn and reflect on (sex won't make you happy, externals won't do, ...). Well because of increasing distance lately and though I see her most days, a lot of emotions come up. Jealousy, thoughts that villify her, hurt. I maintain awareness over them and feel the feelings (and let go of the thoughts, which works, they don't seem really true). So I work through those to a degree. I got too attached... needy (watched the first of Leo's videos on depression where he points to not being fulfilled by oneself as the cause of neediness and failed relationships). tl;dr Anyways, I sent her this video I knew for some time. I noticed me falling into the patterns of "The Suffocator", Type No. 1 in the following video. (She replied: "Then you know ? ?‍♀️) Can you please share some perspective on that kind of behaviour. What it feels from the woman's pov, the dynamics. I'd like to break this pattern... the current awareness I have over it doesn't seem to do the trick. I asked her to block me, she said she'll do for some while. Anyways, this post has a lot of tangents we could go on, but I'd like to focus on the texting part for now. Thank you a lot for reading.

Better is relative. What do you mean exactly? Your reply did offer some insights too. How did you come to talk about blue? I find that interesting. Tbh I use to think I've been living under a rock for most times in my teens (Watching too many children TV shows) and do seem to not get most assumptions people make about usual stuff. Or the plain obvious to them they do not even notice. So, I would have to ask questions as "what is dating" even?

@assx95 I'll leave a better reply later on after rereading and relfecting some more. I do think you hit some of the major issues going on. How have you discovered those dynamics in yourself then and connected those dots? And what changed it? Also: Sounds familiar. Would you recommend reading "No more Mr. Nice Guy" or is there another recommendation you could make?

I'd like to focus on actually being less needy. Nah, that's not the case... and she's also very Green, so that's not the dynamic. She first "sensed a connection" and wanted to be close deep friends and then became sexually attracted. That really depends. What I hear you say sounds like most RedPill/PUA ideas I got thus far (and that were many imo). I really don't want to think again in those terms, as I think it's really black-and-white and I'd feel repulsed if a woman were to think or behave that way because ... simply put it couldn't meet my need to be appreciated for more than just looks. Also it's playing into some behaviour I don't want to exhibit. To me it sounds more like something many men in the RedPill/PUA realm would do... Yes. Sounds like something I could do. The thing is that I went quite deep with her, I don't think she would reject me as a friend. She just didn't meet my intensity. And that's what I want to work on, being less needy. I agree. I my eyes it wasn't aimlessly, at that time. There were some insecurities and emotions involved that led to the writing. And I can't contact her, as she blocked me on IM (as I also told her to work on the attachment.) Thank you for your replies! What @Chew211 said is a step I want to take. Are there other ways to adress the emotional neediness in a more focused manner? (And I don't just mean trying to appear less needy over text. I think girls will smell that. And that doesn't feel like the relationship dynamic I'd like to have. It would mean lots of jealousy, insecurity, ... for me and I'd notice the rejection in her. <- So also care less what she thinks, right?) Oh, and I probably sent her some texts in the manner of like this post.

A great TEDx Talk that covers biases and storytelling.

That exists too, those are called PEMF devices. Everyone's affected, some just show different symptoms or earlier. The same with fast foods, which you mentioned, imo. What do you mean with no problem? With all respect, I do think you are projecting. Because you were the one asking if it is going to be okay. An easy test to find out for yourself would be listening to the thing I linked or research yourself. You're claiming that "5G will be nothing like a 800W microwave oven." I claim it will be different. We also already had a thread regarding safety of electronic devices:

Yeah, you're right, the body can emit something, like the rod can emit something. But that something has one (or many interconnected) purpose(s), which is what I meant by "use". Emitting something has a use. Light has a profound influence on many things biologically. There's red-light therapy, etc. From experience I usually take the side that everything interacts with everything, even in ways we may not understand or have properly mapped yet. Current physics says that one (out of four) fundamental inetactions is electromagnetically. The body couldn't be made up of particles if it weren't for that. So on that level microwaves or other waves do interact with "the body", fundamentally. To get back to the original post: idk. Depends how we handle it. There's a lot of "devilry" (appeal to authority, name calling, not taking it seriously, bullshit arguments, etc...) on the side of people saying that those EMFs are "completely safe". I find it most likely that 5G will cause illness and distress. There's a canadian journalist who has interviewed many "experts" regarding EMF/cellphones/WiFi and its biological (psychological, etc...) effects. Here's a podcast with him covering a lot: https://www.buzzsprout.com/237152/1130012-ep-29-nick-pineault-overcoming-emf-pollution If you want to look at mechanisms, check out Dr. Mercola and Dr. Jack Kruse (do not fall for marketing though, and his blog isn't easily digestable if you do not focus on making sense of that.) That being said, no one afaik is proposing any systemic solution, just reducing exposure. The research people do and awareness they raise is noce. But how the hell did we even come to the place of (if one choses to not decide: potentially) implementing something into every aspect of our lives, heck into the hands on babies, that may or may not be very very harmful.

@CreamCat I just read up some articles to try and answer your question. But I can't really, I don't know. And I don't know the vocabulary to do so. (+ the distinction between magnetic and electric is made up (https://www.quora.com/What-is-the-difference-between-magnetic-charge-and-electric-charge?ref=forbes&rel_pos=1) Is there a difference between using and emitting? At a cellular level: Mitochondria communicate via biophotons, as you know a photon lies on the electromagnetic spectrum. (And I doubt that 5G, at least directly, impacts that.) There's more afaik. I'm sure biophysics or quantum biology has linked those in some theories.

Many people I heard talking about the issue with 5G and EMFs in general are explaining that the concern is not thermal damage, like too much heating of tissues, but biochemical mechanisms. I've seen one proposed so far. That's what we use them for, doesn't mean microwaves can't do anything else. "At low levels, it wouldn't do much to our body or our brain." Not in terms of heating. Other than that I heard the statement that 5G operates within a frequency that is similar to that which our brain uses. Meaning they could interact in some way, or disturbe one another via resonance or something. Isn't current science at a level where it says electromagnetism and another thing are "fundamental"? Meaning everything is made out of it, or so I interpreted.

@dpvifa Are you interested in giving some examples? Maybe a High Consciousness SubReddits Thread would fit in the High Consciousness Resources Subforum here, haven't seen one.

This one is amazing. Uploaded farily recently. Not sure when the best podcast list was released. I'm currently working on a transcript and making notes. I'll upload them here once ready. You simply have to read it, there so much to think about. When listening, it goes in one ear and out the other. Not much sticks. I'm thinking of doing the same for the podcasts on the list. Feel free to join. Otherwise it may take a while.

@lmfao I shared your confusion about green (I may still do to some extent). What helped me personally (I dind't read the books so far, only summaries online) are this: https://www.hipplanet.com/books/atoz/atoz.htm It's Hippie A to Z. To me hippies seem to be quite high (I mean on the spiral : green to yellow) The author goes into all aspects (sex, fashion, ...) so you may get an overview on multiple lines. (And notice self bias) Also check out this blog: https://metamoderna.org/hanzi-talking-about-metamodern-values Some articles on there take another angle on modernism, postmodernism (mostly green) and "metamodernism". Also keep the postmodern concept of breaking down hierarchies in mind. Hope that may help you!

Hey guys! Here's how to generate transcripts from the auto-generated subtitles in YouTube videos: https://www.quora.com/Is-there-a-way-to-extract-the-automatically-generated-subtitles-in-YouTube I figured it'll save up a hell lot of typing. You just need to re-read and insert punctiation and replace filler words or errors YT's auto-translation made. You also need a text editor with a decent "find and replace" function. (Remove the grey spaces with real spaces. Oh, and \n is short for 'next line' meaning the enter key. That'll be needed.) Steps: 1. Find and replace all the grey spaces (you'll see what I mean) with normal spaces 2. Find and replace <space>\n with just <space>. (With <space> I mean the space character: ) 3. Find and replace \n with space. 4. Ctrl+a and remove the formatting. Anyways, I hope it'll be useful. Thanks for the great work so far
