@wavydude I understand where you're coming from, but in this case, raising awareness of this issue is probably a good thing. I wasn't aware of how bad it can really be for being in a Twitch community, as a game live streamer, playing games live for roughly 8 hours a day. This is true despite being a gamer in the past and having very little to no involvement in social media, including Twitch. Also, I wasn't aware of it, but there seems to exist some forms of psychology in that community. With the paying, it's donations from members of the streamer, if the streamers entertained enough to merit a donation, then it's reinforced with a positive reward, maybe a jingle sound or the streamer's approving reactions. Members are kicked out for expressing too many differences, of course including toxicity. Also, it seems that streamers, feel free to share if you were one, are mostly pandering to whatever trend and placing too high of importance of what opinions their audiences have.

It would depend on what stage of the spiral you're at, what moral, cognitive, and lines of development you are at. Also, knowing what you are as a personality type. The more you know and refine, the better. I suggest pretending there's a scale with a pendulum. Which way is it swinging now? Life purpose or dating? Adjust yourself. Also, try to infuse this sexual craving into your life purpose.

Whether the virus is a boi-weapon, or from nature, the question remains: Why is the vaccine taking so long?

@Farnaby This is what I was trying to say. People must be careful, especially when this situation is framed as emotional and addressing the death of someone, which makes the message more powerful, the mind's distortions more real and projections assumed more real than fiction. There are many examples from politics and history that every leader(s) that gave passionate speeches in front of the crowds.

Hello all! Been busy for the past month, am working on some unique practices with my tulpa, and other projects for some other parts of life. I hoped you've done some of the exercises in section two: developing your mind's ear. I've done most of the exercises in formal meditation, but also while going through my day. I could cycle through songs and include natural sounds, and conjure up sounds of thunder and rain. Let's move on to section three: developing your mind's skin. We've all had some experiences with meditation, spiritual practices, visualization practices before, we've encountered at some point, especially when we imagine ourselves in a location, encounter some problem when we're trying to use our mind's eye to locate our 'body' in our 'mindscape'. Funny thing is when we try to interact with objects and travel/motion towards mental locations, because our mind is very picky with the body we have currently and the remembered somatic/auditory/visual experiences of our real body growing up, we end up struggling to fully immerse ourselves into a visualized location/mindscape. Much of the somatic memories our minds have is filtered through our real body's skin, which the brain collects as information towards our mind's ability to separate my body/others' bodies/objects/surroundings. Spiritual traditions like Daoism, with their methods like chi gong, tai chi, microcosmic orbit system, standing postures, and more, make use of external/internal somatic experiences of the mind's skin to do their energy/spirit work. Also, Hatha, Kriya, karma, and kundalini yoga, done properly, make use of mainly the mind's skin for energy/spirit work. Paranormal phenomena can involve the mind's skin, like the ability to 'sense presences', 'feel an emotion', 'feel a raise/drop-in temperature' of spirits, and ghosts in the room, aka goosebumps/chills down your spine. Demons/archdemons and deities channeled into the room have this 'heat', and 'heaviness' feeling in your mind's skin, while angels feel the opposite. Contacting entities from other realms or galaxies have this 'alien' feel, and various healing energies, and other energies could be felt. If you're interested in developing your tulpa, then having a well-developed mind's skin is great for when you want to interact somatically with your tulpa in a mindscape, or when you super-impose that tulpa to your physical location, you can then feel their touch onto your skin, or guide your hand while auto writing, whether it's real-time or while visualizing. In my opinion, this is perhaps the most rewarding experience in this field, because if seeing and hearing a mental entity isn't enough to geek you out, then wait for when the interaction includes feeling. If you're not interested, then the effort is not wasteful. You can experience more detailed, somatic experiences in your visualization, say, the texture and pressure of your pencil, as you draw a sketch for your dream house in your mind, or doing mental rehearsals on martial arts, sparring an opponent, and simply walking on a sunny beach, feeling the warmth and coolness of the breeze. If you're struggling to develop your mind's skin, then start doing isolation training on what aspect of that somatic experience that you're having difficulty in. I recommend some somatic exercises like yoga, chi gong, fitness, martial arts, dancing, and other practices like these to pick up as a hobby, and then remembering what those felt like, what pressures and textures you felt. Be specific. I've written instructions on the original post, so here are some changes: if you can do 5-10 minutes, increase by 5 minutes for each exercise (or 1 if you're really struggling), and please feel free to add another exercise appropriate to what you're working on, in this case, it's relevant to the skin. However, if you wish, go multi-sensory on some exercises, but beware that you won't progress slightly faster than another that uses deliberate practice on each element of visualization. Exercise 1: Standing feet. Begin after a meditation session. Shift your attention, eyes closed, to a place you're familiar with. In this memory, bring to mind what it feels like beneath your feet, the texture of the ground, and the weight of your body. Try as best as you can to remember every detail of those feelings. Exercise 2: Walking on the beach. Begin after a meditation session. With eyes closed, bring to mind a beach you visited and walked through. Remember every sensation beneath your feet, and how much pressure is shifted from foot to foot. Exercise 3: Body flows. Begin after a meditation session. If you've done some chi-gong, or not, bring to mind your body's position. Commence with your practices, and pay attention to how the air feels against your flowing body, how you shift your balance, from movement to movement, from head to arms and legs. Exercise 4: contact points. Begin after a meditation session. Pay attention to areas of your body that contact parts of your skin, when skin overlaps with skin if that makes sense. Now bring to mind how your clothes feel on your body. Later on the day or next day, in your mindscape, bring to mind yesterdays' clothes and contact points that you've felt. Exercise 5: touching hands: Begin after a meditation session. In a mental room, imagine sitting there, and you see some floating hands, like yours. Pay attention to how it feels when a hand rubs, back and forth, along your arm, Repeat this cycle 5 times on the arms, then the legs, then the entire torso and head. Notice the coldness/warmth and texture of those hands on your body. Exercise 6: blindfolded fight. Begin after a meditation session. If you've done dances, fitness exercises, or martial arts training or any combative movements, first bring to mind what textures, pressures, and force felt, tension or looseness, you can remember. Now bring to mind a mindscape of some training ground and you see your partner. Your partner could be a human, a beast, an alien, a demon, an angel, or whatever you want to spar with. The sparring session could be about dancing, wrestling, or judo, or aikido, or Jiujitsu, or wing Chun sticking hands, or Tai chi's push hands. Place your hands on theirs, or an arm, shoulder, or lower torso. Notice changes in textures, pressures, and tensions as you are mindful of those feelings. Exercise 7: Take a shower/bath. Begin after a meditation session. Imagine taking a shower/bath, with whatever types of oils, soaps, and scented candles you use for yourself. That's it for this week. In conclusion, not only is training your mind's skin important for feeling to your Tulpa's touch, but it also trains your ability to recall memories of different somatic experiences you've had. Also, this training may develop your mental body, to the point you could become more creative with movements. Developing your visualization skills will allow you to keep making further distinctions with each element of that visualization you're developing. Keep going, until eventually that vast difference between external and internal sensations become more and more similar until you reach realistic levels of depiction. Have a good month, hoped these exercises are simple and enjoyable, and never forget; Destiny is ALL!

@Onemanwolfpac Are you the Netflix and chill guy that talked about that Canadian president black facing in the dating sub-forum? @Hank Galaxy Brain Could you, or anyone reading, please describe to me what is an actual incel?? There're many descriptions of those types online...

@Carl-Richard I did not say anything at all about copying Leo, and nothing to indicate how you are comparing him.

@Max_V Fair enough.

@Carl-Richard The differences are vast, starting with how they both are actualizing their life purposes, the professions they have chosen, where they're at on a stage, and what development they are at.

@Carl-Richard Not quite there yet. Mostly at stage yellow, with some elements of stages turquoise and green. He's able to do therapy with his niche being gamers and streamers, but he is not radical enough to expose his clients to stage turquoise materials, in fact, his methods are mostly from stage orange psychotherapy with some elements of stage green thinking, but he is able to elevate partially to stage green clients.

@Max_V Which is why it is better in the serious emotional problems sub-forum. It's there that there is a higher probability of a depressed person going through serious mental and emotional problems that can view it, but a lower probability of that type of person being here. In this sub-forum, you are expected to share very high consciousness material here, material that is at stage yellow to turquoise. Depending on what moral, cognitive development and at what stage your worldview and you are as an ego at, the value is highly relative,

What makes this high consciousness material? The ultimate function of depression isn't even discussed in the video, only some relative thinking patterns and some contexts related to it. Sad to hear a streamer suicided himself though, but there's more of an involved process that comes with suicide than simply reducing depression as the sole factor. I think this is better at the serious emotions section than here.

Update: I've experienced a higher level of visualization I've ever experienced so far in my life. The colors, shapes, sounds, and my mental body in the mindscape is getting more resolution. I've also experienced greater concentration and mindfulness around me. We're now able to communicate much longer, have better interactions, and I've made in this mindscape a room with a spiritual object that I've had a samadhi experience outside of my body now I samadhi into but on the inside. I've read some accounts of people having samadhi experiences with other people, aka collapsing the duality of otherness/oneness, so this is what I'm putting some time and energy into.

Anesthesia is interesting. I still remember the effects 20 years ago. While under for dental work, I dreamed I was spitting out my teeth and walking around in a street mall. It was so confusing because it was so real. Consciousness is amazing.

@DrewNows Astrology for the win!

@ivankiss I've listened to many genres of music, including heavy metal, and this group I do like how they handled the flow of the instruments and the vocals, very unusual rhythm. It takes a strong, musically matured ear to listen to that, so I'm not surprised if most people here will struggle through it lol!

@Scholar Holy shit. I hope the copper is ok.

@Parththakkar12 1. I agree with the lockdowns, because it does slow down the spread of the virus, but with martial law, I say it depends. If a country's populace is still conducting wide-spread social gatherings despite government issuing lockdown, I think that before martial law, the government should enforce more police enforcement firstly because involving the military too early does more psychic stress to the populace. Martial law should be considered if on top of not reducing social gatherings, that there are escalating protests, especially rioting and looting. I think context-sensitive to enforcement. 2. Masks are great to have if you yourself have the virus and wouldn't want to spread it and does offer some protection for yourself. Depending on the resources of a country, there should be more consideration on more than just wearing masks but on supplying more equipment on red zones and zones likely to be hit harder. Context-sensitive enforcement. 3. I agree with this point. Personally, I already have a habit of washing my hands which helps prevent not just COVID but other diseases from spreading. I think this is important as a habit for most people. Keep yourself clean! The government should figure out a program for indoctrinating this in. 4. I'm divided on this point. I say I agree because I know that I can tolerate the loneliness and any other mental stresses that come with isolation because I have hobbies and activities like yoga, chi-gong, meditation, concentration, contemplation, self-inquiry, reading, advanced visualization techniques, and so on. I believe you are responsible for your mental health, and I understand that a majority would be scarce and diverse in how they handle loneliness and mental stresses so I think isolation is worth the risk, but this is relative. 5. If you have expertise in financing, economics, and investing then you could negotiate potential risks. 6. Personally, I think it should be mandatory. The majority will take the vaccines though. 7. I think if they stuck with the facts, and less fear-mongering, the better. 8. I agree that for the time being, censorship is best right now because these conspiracy theories are just stockpiling more fear. I'm not an expert on these issues so my explanation might be shallow.

@Onemanwolfpac I agree. I forgot the name of a fallacy in philosophy, but the fallacy works exactly like that, where you set up a weak target and draw the attack into a strong target.

@Leo Gura This adds to the other video as well. From what I saw, the officer during the struggle warned the suspect that he'll use a taser, and the suspect still resists. If they only had some form of ground combat training, they really could've immobilized him. I can't remember the exact video, but it showed two London/ European officers being man-handled by a resisting guy either high on drugs or something else, but those officers could've easily joint-locked the guy into submission.

@Consept No, and while I try to understand another's perspective, frankly the majority of people don't care about anyone else's perspectives, as perfectly demonstrated in this thread, with this back and forth you're all having with Leo. It all depends on if your life experiences are tied to being with police and authority figures, or being antagonized by police and authority figures? This greatly shapes your main perspective on this issue, because that perspective is your way of life, way of survival of YOU.

@Parththakkar12 Good point. A Russian Systema teacher I once had said a very similar thing to what you said, without undergoing training that simulates exactly what you would deal with, don't expect to react perfectly, expect to still react uncleanly. I've had many instances while learning martial arts that I was still clumsy in my reaction times and executions of my techniques and defended myself against a person using a knife on me. It wasn't a clean situation but I was able to subdue the person. In your thought experiment, I think it depends on the person with the gun if he had any training or no training. I personally would draw and give warning to the mugger. No sign of acknowledging my warning, verbally or non-verbally, and still closing the distance, I would issue the warning again. Still no response, and 7-5 meters away from my gun, I'd adjust my aim for the person's legs. If he draws any weapon from his pocket, then I'm gonna shot. Just because, in this case, he draws a taser, and it's non-lethal, he can still stun me, disable my defenses, and not only frisk me and get my wallet, but my gun, and what's to stop him from blowing my head off? I've seen his face...

@Consept That's the power of stereotype and projection, don't expect most people wouldn't do the same to you. Depends on the type of dog. If it's a chihuahua or similar sized dog, I would let it go. But a bulldog, or a similar/bigger sized dog, bred and trained typically to guard places and attack people, then I would shot to disable, or if the situation was much dire, shoot to kill. If I see someone running away from me, with my stolen weapon, turning around to fire it, I would shot. And I expect you to do the same/similar to me if you find me in such a state of consciousness that I would harm you or others. I can definitely agree with you that further refinement of training would be needed for the police force. For example, that officer failed to secure a rear-choke holed onto the drunk guy. I've done martial arts training and can tell you that proper application can de-escalate the situation.

'seemed' is the keyword here. We can only know so much in a video, or in a person's direct experience, that we cannot assume anymore, otherwise, we are projecting way too much. That's fine reading stuff on him, but that's looking back to the past. Try to bring yourself into that police's position, as the situation is unfolding. As a hypothetical, you're the cop that the guy has stolen the taser from, and now you're giving chase, but you lose him. A day later, that same guy used your weapon to do evil to another person. How would you feel then, as the cop that lost his weapon?

Or, he's a sociopath and lied convincingly to police. Notice how quickly he escalated the situation. We don't know much from one video, but that's the limited window of that reality.
