@Epikur what you're describing is similar to this thought experiment: Back on topic, I've used Tony Robbin's material, and to me it's like coffee, it's strong to get used to, but over time I've gotten used to it and it benefited me, until later in the future I've realized I was just using sugar and milk to mask the black coffee flavor, along with outgrowing coffee generally speaking. The gal doing the video on Tony, giving this critic, I can't help but feel it's wrong in a strange way, like she's had badly made coffee, and now thinks all coffee is this bad, and now has a channel purposed with making money out of focusing on bad coffee...it's suspicious to me. In the end, people are animals and flawed in some degrees, it's worth remembering, in case you find out how human a Guru is.

Could you explain what in animation and languages resonated with you?

I've been using a vision board for roughly a year, and currently actualizing on my diet and fitness more than the other images posted on there, which is a good surprise for me. While sorting my vision board, I went searching online for further tips and other pieces of info for better visioning, and cam across dream boards. So far, I've learned that dream boards are like bucket lists, for goals that need many years to achieve. Does anyone here have dream boards and know how to use them? What's the difference between a vision board and dream board?

@Phyllis Wagner Another mindfulness practice in my bag.

What's interesting, is that this whole situation about Asians being attacked also happened during the 50's to 60's in America, and rumor has it that Bruce Lee was hired as a body guard to some of the Chinese people in Hollywood, who were friends of Bruce. I could be wrong, but it's likely the case given how much worse it was in the past.

@Epikur That's true as well, and other explanations. A while back, it was a raising issue about sucker punching other people, in Canada and the USA, and those types of people are not just whites, but non-white teens to some who are in their mid 20's. Racism wasn't the main drive for sucker punching, it was the thrill of ambushing someone, or revenge by proxy(the person or group that wronged you, are either dead or too powerful to get back, so you substitute for people who resemble them, and get even.), opportunity, and feelings very similar to a successful troll attempt.

It's not surprising nor is it ridiculous for some people to have this hate towards Asians, specifically from China, because of the virus coming from that country. It's hard for them to hold, judge and find some justice against China, so the easiest thing for them is to blame Asian Americans for bringing this virus, while not realizing that the Trump administration is largely responsible for not handling the situation properly from the get-go.

@Roy Yes, her channel is an interesting case study of a partial worldview.

@Leo Gura I meant the good contradiction as a positive, not in a negative meaning, because it's ironic that lately there's a strong aversion to day trading and other financial investments here like crypto-currency, and then you invest some yourself, probably some other investment. As long as anyone provides greater value than investing in stocks, real estate and small business, combined with knowing ways to save money, then it's okay. However, when anytime somebody starts revolving their life purpose around money or finance purely, that's when things go negative, sooner or later. Investing in ownership assets, like stocks, real estate and small business, combined with saving, is enough. Fields like day trading and bit coin related finance fields become way too much like gambling, and I've got way more to do than star at graphs anyways.

What's missing from this free will vs determinism, is a serious desire to know the answer. That intention is so important to have and get clear on that without it nobody really gets far, along with a way to re-commit to finding that answer. Leo's way, by far, is the quickest way to receiving the answer, which most here knows of and hopefully tried. Not polished for thousands of years, but gets it done, like grilling steak. For whatever reason, hard accessibility, multiple barriers, too early in development, that you can't do Leo's way in near future, there are other ways as well, mainly two: the shock the system way like extremely radical spirituality unlike the norm, and the tried and true way, which is the classical spiritual tradition path, similar to Buddhism and Advaita Vedanta. These both have their pitfalls and traps, and are less guaranteed to give you the answer quicker, but that also lets you age well as you receive parts of the answer, as embodiment also. Like slow cooking lamb shank, takes time, but not so jarring that it scars you off too early.

@AdamR95 Because we have a rich human history of 'debating' and 'criticizing' for 20,000, and still, to this Era, people haven't made much progress in any field through arguing! Look at the modern day examples of science vs religion, political debates, religious debates, philosophical debates on the nature of reality, have we any progress through debating? Yes we have, if you consider keeping mind viruses alive to spread to other minds masquerading as truth, fooling yourself into thinking that is real truth, then you are right to say we have made progress, progress in bullshitting ourselves and others more by feeding stories to each Ego! This is why to me debating is such foolish distraction, for those seeking ultimate truth. Not for those trying to survive the concepts in their minds, along with asking to explain their rationale. Keep in mind, even Buddhists and Advaita/ Neo Advaita practitioners debate on what enlightenment is.

@Yog Beat me to it. I was gonna share this on here. Very interesting discussion, that to me felt like JP was gently being challenged by Bret on the political issues, on religion. Also interesting discussion about consciousness, which is at this point no surprise that it was circular for the most part. However, it's great JP is still communicating with that same level of energy despite his recent health issues.

Allow me to introduce a master painter, Bob Ross. Enjoy the video:

I won't go into the specifics about where, when and how I experienced this, the psychedelic I used and details of my courtship, but I've micro dosed, and shortly after had sex during the night. When we've finally fell asleep, I've had the most vivid dream that calling it a dream doesn't do it justice. It was magnitudes more intense than the visualizations I typically do that I'm currently doing the life vision over again to incorporate the insights during that peak creativity I had. It was incredible, that the sexual energy I experienced while in that altered state of consciousness was different from normal. A video about the connections between the two would be great, if I'm not the only one having this experience.

@Epikur This is a good video. Just wow, I learned a bit more about this situation. Yikes.

@AdamR95 That's true, if you self reflect in isolation. However, when you debate and criticize another person, it always further solidifies the ideas each side chooses to defend, because the point of criticism and debating isn't to arrive at the ultimate truth, it's to protect what each side thinks is their truth, and their good, through persuasion and knocking down the other side's truth as falsehood, while claiming your own partial truth as The Good Truth, see? I'll go as far as saying that self criticising and debating yourself is also a waste of time as well, as that tends to fragment yourself more.

@fortifyacacia3 I was being positively sarcastic with Leo. It's good to be contradictory sometimes.

Remember, critics and debating are not very productive.

Playing devil's advocate, I've found an interesting video of an American's take on the Oprah interview with Meghan and Harry: I have more nuanced view on this, but even someone not invested in this situation, had what seems to me an intuition that racism is not the core issue in the interview, that there's much more than racism. I would imagine most people that has little to no interest may have similar views that this person has, yet that may not be the case. It's also interesting to me his speaking patterns are similar to those who physically descriminate race by physical features. What are your thoughts on this person's view?

@JTL Were you referring to ethnocentrism? Yes, in the past it was more heavily about that, along with emphasizing differences with physical features in conjunction to emergence in biology, evolution and such. On top of skin colour, we also have linguistic racism and covert racism currently.

@Yali It's best not to be provocative with some users here, if you don't have anything too valuable to say. No matter how provocative or argumentative you get, some users will remain the same.

@Hardkill I'm not interested in arguing with you, I'm more interested in a discussion, and I do understand that some coaches are scam artists hustling as well, yet sometimes there are decent coaches, and if you can afford it, good. If not, then you'd have to be creative in learning the mistakes, and build up volume of experiences with dating and learning, or learn from some for free, or keep a journal. All else fails, keep approaching, or move on in some area of life. That's the secret to success in dealing with limits.

Good contradiction.

@snowyowl Yes, the story started with them complaining from a place of privilege and expectation of being more successful in the royal family, only to complain when they can't get more than that. As far as individuals in stage blue/orange societies, I don't think there's enough incentive to go and challenge the structural norms of their society, as currently they are benefiting to some degree. However, let's stick to OP's topic without derailing thread. Actually, this whole thing started because Meghan expected to be the next princess Diana, or the queen, when marrying Harry, but that being not the case, putting pressure on Harry to either make the decision to remaun in the royal family, or split off from them to try to become independently successful with his business. Actually, the royal family has enough requisite varity in facilitating Meghan and Harry in tbe family, provided that Meghan and Harry was satisfied with their current position, yet as it turns out, that wasn't the case. In fact, it's because of Meghan that Harry made the decision to split off, but also because he decided to be in this relationship with Meghan in the first place, so technically this whole mess was Harry's fault .

@snowyowl I used that as an example, and I stopped because the list would be long if I listed other cultures. It came up because that's entangled with racism. However, back more to OP's topic, is another real issue, is that Harry and Maghan are more privileged than the common people, i.e in the USA and UK. The fact they were complaining in their interview with Oprah that their security wouldn't be provided by the Queen is a blatant lie, because the quuen does not decide who gets security, it's the royal branch jn London that decides security. Harry and Meghan are worth millions, live upper class, complaining to the common people to pay, with their tax and hard earned money, their security. Also, Meghan ain't no next Diana, because of age difference, and she couldn't last the 20 years of living in the royal family, so the comparison is bad at best. I like how some users here point out to other users that they're living detached from reality, when Harry and Maghan are so far detached from reality that they have the gall to complain to common folk to pay for their security. I'm sorry for the common people, also for Pier Morgans as well, because he spoke up about that interview, despite his status. I think Nigel Farage said it best, and I paraphrase, that 'they should have their titles removed and live like normal people'. Didn't occur to me till now that privilege also is a factor here too.
