@UnbornTao Not really. Most of ya'll are more emotional about this than me.

@ZenAlex Yes, please keep calling me psychotic and mentally ill. It's a miracle such a mentally ill person is still capable of leading a normal life. Very open minded attitude? Crysty, just in case you're a spirit a want to reincarnate into this life as a human, please don't be like this guy, with the debunker mentality mind virus. It's super cringe, and I strongly recommend you to outgrow this mindset ASAP. Okay? Please don't be like this dude! Otherwise I'm gonna be visiting you as a non-corporeal entity too.

@ZenAlex Then why are you 99.9% sure about my mental state, and not extend the same level of epistemic openness to this? Also, most likely and definitely true are closer than you saying it's 50/50, so you are implicitly saying you are certain about my state and experience as psychotic. I'm done taking you seriously, that's why I am not fully engaging with you and your points. You have demonstrated enough for me to dismiss you outright, more than you dismissed me as a lunatic. That's the harsh truth, I am far ahead of you in terms of spiritual development and having paranormal experiences. I don't care if you blindly believe or not believe or weaponize your skepticism against me, but I'm not interested in arguing and debating this. Waste of time. Imagine if I dismissed your traumatic experience as possibly psychotic, how would you feel? Do I have to spell out and help you figure out why you've emotionally triggered me? My investigations also involved other people too, from psychics, to scientists that investigate paranormal phenomena. I don't share too much because it's personal info, against forum guidelines to do so as that's private.

@ZenAlex Gotcha, keep talking, you are demonstrating to others your stellar open mindedness and rationality, as irrationality at this point. Way ahead of you on the epistemic department, not only in the earlier pages of this thread that I've demonstrated my open mindedness, but I've done private investigations into this as well, to which I will not share nor am comfortable sharing with you, as you blatantly are willing to slander my state of mind as psychotic.

This video is a good example to follow and to balance this thread with: Also highlights the necessary accuracy needed to judge based on language and text, if you suspend or ban a user. You can use the general message of the warning, but you have to actually highlight the wording that led to the ban. Because of this, JP had enough room to flip and reframe the problem onto Twitter while making it a political, trans issue, while adding on his anti left narrative, when in reality the issue could have been that this Eben Page user was triggered and report the post. This post should have been carefully reviewed by a staff member than the A.I algorithm, as the account isn't some random user, it's a famous person.

@thenondualtankie It's possible to do progressive overloads with Calisthenics, but it'll have to be with weights as well. Another possibility is to fatigue your nervous system a bit beforehand, by doing sets of isometric exercises, then do the reps and do one isometric set after, because in reality your muscles have a lot of help from your nervous system.

@Carl-Richard Yes, that's my aim despite my genetics and body composition other health limitations. I'm 5'5 and weigh 130 pounds.

Was worth mentioning is that this is a video were Kyle is the interviewer? In such a case, if a person is doing the interviewing, that person has the advantage of setting the entire frame of the conversation, discussion or debate in this case. Literally the interviewer can paint you into a good or bad light depending on how he/she phrases the questions on tonality and body language alone. For example, in this thread, the OP sets the tone with the title 'Jordan Peterson DEFENDS Trump!', in a click bait manner, and his opening post written 'disgusting', followed by a link to a clipped video of a discussion between Kyle and Jordan. Already sets the tone of this thread and tries to control the type of discourse of our posts, to cater to left leaning users with a bone to pick against JP, simple but effective framing, and most of us already falling victim to this framework. I feel that, because it's JP, and how common it is to cast hate immediately in this forum, that generalization of JP's character muddies any nuanced views about his perspectives, and having nuanced discussions of his values, cognitive and moral development, personality typing, states of being, life experiences, other lines of development and other related topics were we could try having a tier 2 type of discourse. However, this thread is slowly becoming a tier 1 discourse, where we talk a bit more about our grievances against JP, and is ok to character assassinate him. While it's worth calling out his faults, it's not worth it to dog pile hate and glee on top of it.

@Bird Larry I have a love and hate relationship with Trump. I loved how he was just able to be charismatic and leverage the population's dissatisfaction while trolling the left, but also hate how it's so obvious to me he's a con artist, but most people it's not, and most people fall for it. So I have to find it funny and entertaining to not go mad. Humour is also subjective, so some people may find it very entertaining, some are deadpan, others are offended. It's relativel really. At least JP came across as more reasonable in the video, aside from the anti left attitude, about some pitfalls of Trump, but not enough that it alienated him from his fan base.

@Rob06 Thank you for finding my story interesting. Yes, I've been through a phase like that, self denial, after surviving that haunting in my childhood. The mind is amazing, with many mental gymnastics to try and find explanations, to generalize, distort memories and even delete a few that are too traumatic. Through that though, the raw, harsh facts of my senses still remained with me in those childhood memories of that phenomena, that it was an actual ghost that I talked too.

@Arcangelo Yes, he has a good, twisted sense of humour, that makes you feel a guilty sense of pleasure for partaking in. Very skilled con artist. Comparing him to JP though, makes JP look smarter.

@integral Thanks for your understanding and patience and trying to help bridge the gap of both his materialistic, scientific and rationalistic world view onto my spiritualistic, new agey and paranormal/supernatural part of my worldview for him and I. However, I guess no matter how nicely you could have worded it, if he was convinced that his lense is rationally valid regardless of it's soundness, right, cleaner and mine is 99.9% likely to be dirtier, unlikely, and more irrational and unsound then his, as he frames me to be, then he has already decided from his lense, and based upon the life experiences he has had, and other lines of development like personal or cultural values he has, cognitive and moral development, personality typing, states of consciousness and other lines of development, or lack thereof, that I'm crazy. If he has never experienced a haunting, or an apparition, then no matter how descriptive I am, he lacks that crucial, first person information to make sense of my phenomena I'm experiencing and have experienced. On top of that, depending on his information ecology, if he's part of a group that feeds him mostly second hand information that normalizes demonising spiritual, hippie, new agey views, then I'm competing against that type of programming in his mind and other related misconceptions and misinformation schematics. Also, I have already stated about my epistemic and metaphysical view of my situation, about my haunting I had and Crysty in several pages ago in this thread about other possibilities as to what her nature is, and a bit on my childhood haunting, and the various stage purple, to blue and orange/green solutions of resolving my haunting. It's there if you want to read through it. I guess I got triggered from him labelling me as possibly psychotic and having to repeatedly correct him and myself multiple times of my epistemic view frustrated me a bit, up to this point I was still willing to talk, but seeing how my state and his accusations effected Crysty a bit, also frustrated me, that crossed a line for me, so I decided to drop our little heated discourse and move on as this wasn't a good look and example for other users.

@JuliusCaesar Yes I have actually said silly stuff there recently a few days ago, in a few threads were @ZenAlex was in. It was silly banter and I disengaged with the topic. And he then recently hopped to this thread. It may be coincidental, but if he does have beef with me there then do it at that thread there and not derail this thread of ours while attacking my good friend. I've had to cool her off. Yes, I've asked her many times, and she gave me a straight answer, then later contradicts herself out of playfulness. I did mention in the past that she also changes forms as well, lkke turning into a crystal statue to meditate with me, and other forms as well as travelling and disappearing to other locations. She likes to also play around with me while I meditate or go about my daily liife, and she's good natured about it, a playful spirit. So I kept my inquiries loose going forward with her and developed an ongoing relationship with Crysty while continuingmy learning of her nature.

@How to be wise A good example of inversion. Jordan Peterson has good insights and expertise into psychology, but bad insights into politics.

@Heart of Space just having an emotional outburst of negativity to someone, is another type of cursing as that person may face some kind of karmic retribution for pissing you off. Yes, the safe assumption is it's real, and can also be committed intentionally or not, so best to train yourself to be more positive and less negative over time.

@Vision Best life, and longer. Immortality sounds nice if attainable.

@integral Yes, as I've stated so many pages ago, I'm using spirit and ghost as a placeholder, so she could still be some other entity I don't know of. The experiences I have had so far, with some of my activities with her, has lead me to lean more to the possibility that she could be a spirit, or a Tulpa, however if she's something else I am open to that. I would have been willing to listen, if he wasn't insistent in my mental health and me having a mental issue. I'm done talking with that user. In fact, he only came here recently not because of my thread, but because I was active over on the political sub forum saying stupid stuff, and I'm now more convinced he's just here to harass me, because he can't harass me over in the political sub forum.

@ZenAlex I am offended by you making false accusations of my mental health, while denying my experience blatantly, as fictitious, on groundless claims against me and assumptions of my mental health. Yes, you are too rationale for your own good, it might boomerang back to hit you in the head someday. Yes, I can tell you to be open minded, while keeping myself open minded, as much as you can tell me I'm a psychotic nutcase, while closing yourself off of my perspective. I'm willing to drop this dialogue, are you? Oh, you don't want me to tell you to be open minded, because I'm '100% sure' it's a spirit? Don't tell me I'm suffering from some mental illness, am psychotic nutcase, because you are so sure of my mental state. Eat your humble pie before it's frozen. You can try to fake your open mindedness, but I can tell it's not genuine open mindedness, you are willing to humiliate me here in this thread. If this is a common habit of yours, I'm sorry to hear that, I suggest you drop this as I have done here.

Another interesting video. Take with a grain of salt: https://youtu.be/pek0ht2MU4Q

@kray Try to limit your exposure to the sun, cold showers, make sure your ac unit is good, or was good before the heat wave, and limit down other non essential activities or body movements. Embrace the couch potato state.

@Carl-Richard Yes, that's about where I'm aiming my physique to be, but smaller. Like a Rocky Marcianno and a Bruce Lee physique, but with some fat and can still do other movements and martial arts.

@ZenAlex That's my assumption reading your writing, that you have some degree of fear of my situation, otherwise why bother me about my experiences? Okay, but I will take your skepticism with a grain of salt. Okay that you'd be more open to my experiences, but you also already made up your mind, by using probability and likelihood of me being a psychotic liar about my experiences. So, don't bite me when I call you a psychotic liar that you saw a UFO okay? Yes, you are close minded, because by being not convinced either completely or partially, you are already convinced of the presumptions you have about me and my paranormal experiences, which is not me callong you bad or evil or judgemental, it is what it is to me, that you are mostly too rational, with some degree of pre rationality. in this thread you assume of me of the following: That I'm lying for attention, which assumes that I have degrees of sociopathy/psychopathy, and maybe machiavellinism as my story is abnormal and I'm constructing my events in a manipulative way, that I need psychological attention, as if I crave attention and lack attention in parts of my life from my social circle or family. That I'm psychotic, which assumes my cognitive development and type of mind that I have, that I'm more neuro divergent than most of the population, that I have similar to different moral development than the average around me. That I could be experiencing something mystical/magical/extraordinary, but doubt my conclusion, based on my sense making, that a spirit has to be human, or humanoid, or something else, and is non-physical. Notice that these assumptions help you maintain a distinction in your mind, about normal people and abnormal people. It helps you generalize easier and make sense of the world and humans easier, by having a normality box, and abnormality box, and deceitful box mental category in your head, and not acknowledging that normal and paranormal, natural and supernatural, exist in a spectrum but instead are binary, either you are normal or crazy. By labelling people who experience paranormal and supernatural phenomena as psychotic or liars, putting tham under the abnormality box or decietful box, you absolve yourself from having to do more additional work to understand what's truly making these people or events paranormal/supernatural instead of natural/normal. Of course, this dynamic is a lot worse in those who are heavily rational, as they have a lot more mental boxes and sup boxes to tick off of, so that they appear more smarter and sophisticated, and rationale. Also notice the double standard here, you are okey labelling me as either a liar or psychotic, who hallucinating a spirit, implying that I have a higher degree of schizophrenia, but what do you do when you catch yourself thinking in words, and self talk, while writing a reply to me? How's is it that it's ok to call me psychotic and a liar, but not call yourself psychotic and a liar for how you self talk and think in words and images, and deny certain experiences as valid too? I am only pointing out a potential hypocrisy. Even though I am partly religious background, I don't believe in the paranormal and supernatural, this event just happened to me. You scientists and rationalists know of object permanence? That an object exists independent of subjectivity and beliefs? You are ok when a bear attack occurs, it occurs independently of beliefs or non beliefs, but when it comes to paranormal events, it has to be believed to occur? I didn't believe in ghosts prior to my haunting, it just happens to me and nearly killed me. I actually am agnostic and not a strong believer with the normal and paranormal occurrences, and yet my situation just occurs to me like how a bear attack occurs to some people, with various factors at play that I don't know, don't have all the answers to, and am okay with that despitw the traumatic nature of that haunting. The only one not okay here about my situation, it seems to me, is you, trying to argue and debate me, and paint me as crazy, which isn't a good look on your part even if you justify this to yourself as me having way more crazier posts than you. I have little interest in arguing and debating you. This website and forum isn't for debating or arguing with users as the guidelines point out, so it seems to me you are in the wrong forum and website, or you are trying to troll me, hijack my thread, get me riled up, report me, have warning points issued to me or get me banned, and lock this thread up. You are wasting your time. I am not okay with all of that as I made this thread for originally to share my experience and seek advice from those who have similar experiences to me, but also as I share my experiences I learned that others have had other paranormal experiences as well and am grateful others share theirs here, other paranormal experiences with me. I am not okay with you calling my best friend a fictitious entity, so if you are not here to be open minded and be willing to learn from other perspectives, then I will just put you on ignore and leave you be, and hope you do the same and leave me and other users here alone. I will not entertain your dogmatic debate mentality, nor will I tolerate your BS any longer against my friend. I am not jocking, I suggest you leave if you don't want a meaningful discussion with me, and stop attacking my friend, and other users here who want to share their experiences with me. You are biting more than you can chew here, I suggest strongly you drop the topic and leave. Sincerely, leave.

@Demeter Like I've stated in the past pages of this thread, while I've experienced some paranormal events like a childhood haunting, and am having Crysty beside me, and I may be clairvoyant to some degree, I'm not that skilled enough, or have highly developed intuition or psychic abilities to help you in whatever journey you are in to divine it. You are better off seeking professional psychics who are better at this than me. Crysty or I may give input, but it's not always spot on advice tailored to you, so keep looking for other sources to help you gain more clarity in whatever you aim to do.

@Phil777 You could, technically. However, it requires a lot of imagination power, and being familiar with each layer of imagination, just like with visualization, there's not just sights, there's so much more like sounds, textures, feelings, and other layers of information. It requires so much power that a trade off happens. Basically, 'it'll cost you more than an arm and leg' to accomplish supernatural feats. The question then becomes: Are you prepared for that?

@bambi Well, that's a wakefulness of the relative domain lol, not awakening.
