They are a pretty prime example of toxic Green.
- Cenk has openly denied the Armenian holocaust, as well as apologized for Islamist Terrorism.
- Hasan has become a fulltime grifter for annoying online activist lefties.
- Ana well, you can just see the righteousness and anger spewing out of her face. The only thing holding it back from exploding is the 4 pounds of makeup she wears every day.
But yea it isn't even worth talking about. I don't even know why I am to be honest.
For me, I've disliked their presentation style, but other than that you've put into words my dislike of them as ideologues.

What a trap that can be! What at first seems to free participants ultimately binds them. Such approaches - releasing repressed areas of consciousness, positive thinking, transformational experiences, accepting things exactly the way they are, 'creative' problem solving, situational management, behavior modification, stress reduction, 'new' styles of thinking, and even certain forms of meditation - all attempt to teach people to respond to life or to the universe as if the circumstances were dominant.
After years of practicing these various disciplines, people often still have not learned to create what they most truly want. All they have learned are textbook responses that promise, but do not deliver, success or salvation.
This is because creating and responding are completely different species."
This is powerful, I believe. It just shows us how much we try to solve our "problems", which is different from creating. When you try to solve a problem you are taking action to have something go away, the problem. When you are creating you are taking action to bring something into being, the creation.
The quote above has really struck me, as I've been spending so much time (and still do) trying to "solve" my situation so that I can create music, via those beautiful deceptive methods that make you think you'll get the result you want (the methods in the quote). This is because deep down I feel powerless against my situation.
@Nahm Would like to know what you think about this quote. I'm still not creating music by the way, still searching for stuff to solve, in the reactive-responsive orientation..
It's a pretty good quote on traps, I assume spiritual related traps. Who was the person that said the quote?

@unreal8 Breathwork is good to do, to improve one's breathing in general. It's a bit different from shamanic breath work or Wim Hof's version of shamanic breath work, those specific practices involve higher rates of breathing and slightly more forceful inhale to exhales of breath which can be dangerous if you have ussies with your lungs, or with the diaphragm, or with high blood pressure. Why high blood pressure? Well, Wim Hof's version involves, in one part of the process, inhaled hold for as long as you can. If you hold the breath, and you don't realize that you are holding the full inhale while being a bit too tensed in your stomach to chest area, then you can inadvertently increase pressure to your neck to head which adds internal stress to the cardiovascular system. You can also develop tinnitus if you do this too forcefully.
Just general improvement for how you breath is enough. Breath through the nose, hold the inhale for 3-4 seconds, breath into your belly and let you solar plexus and chest expand with air a little bit, then breath through the nose for 5-6 seconds and let the chest, solar plexus and belly deflate naturally. Good for re energizing the body in general..

In this video it's a re-edited video of another podcast video not in Curt's channel, talking about UFOs. What are your thoughts about the podcast? What would you have done differently if you were in that interview?

At the moment I am in university, and also pursuing music. Music being my main passion, but I thought I could maybe do both, and somehow become proficient in physics and also become a really good musician. This was my vision at the beginning of university. Now going on to my second year Ive realised how much its really going to take to pursue either, and that trying to pursue both may only result in mediocre results for either.
Of course we are all inspired by people like Leonardo Divinci who managed to become masters in many fields, and thats one thing we all look up to. But that requires so much work and focus I don't know how practice it would be.
Would love to hear peoples opinions on this. What fields of mastery do you pursue? How do you divide them up into an order of importance? Do you have one main thing that you do, and want to do for a living and other things as hobbies, or do you just follow whatever feels important in the moment?
Any thoughts and ideas would be lovely to hear
Which one you value and do first, do the other as well. Ultimately, having both broad and specific knowledge is great.

Hello all. As I mentioned, I had two other materials I would cover. Here I'm covering compressed charcoal, and some soft pastels. With the compressed charcoal it's the same company, and in it is a set of 6 charcoals, 2 hard, 2 medium and 2 soft. Here is the image below:
On the left page is compressed charcoal. From top is hard charcoal, the middle is medium charcoal and the bottom is soft charcoal. Each piece has a length of about 1 inch, a width of 1 centimetre and a height of about half a centimetre. Each piece looks almost jet black, and has a weak shine from the compressed nature of it. They also feel very solid and smooth in the surface. Each piece, because of it's rectangular prism shape, is held not using the tripod grip like a pencil, but is modified grips, from overhand to underhand, with some modified tripod grip at the far end of the piece. Also, there's still charcoal pigments left on my fingers from holdingthe pieces, but not as much as willow charcoal, and is cold to the touch. On the left column was me doing a few lines, using the corners and the short edges at the end, to see hear and feel what the tools is capable of. I learnt that for most grips, if you want to use the corners for details is doable, but if you want to use the edge to construct a line, like a horizontal line, then placing the index finger on the end being drawn from does keep a consistent pressure for the line, but even there I still apply lighter pressure and pay attention to how my drawing implement is rubbing against the paper here. The feeliing of the friction between the paper and charcoal tells me a lot, and I sometimes get into a meditative state from that. In the middle column was me using the edhe not parallel, but perpendicular to the direction, which produced the broad strokes you see. When I was using overhand grip, after a few strokes I tested the degree of smudging using my middle finger pad, which was quicker with that grip, and it has an oily greased feel. It smudges better with the medium to soft charcoal. The right columm is a partial construction of faces, to see how the materials do when I create lines, shade in, render and smudge for values.

Just punch yourself to stay focused.
Just punch yourself and or the women of interest.
Violence and restraint is the way to go here.
In all seriousness, you need an energetic practice to transmute the energy.
For a lot of people, sexuality is a good way to cover up emotions so restraining that part of themselves can let them bubble up.
I am not against ejaculation nor am I against sex. But I think it actually isn't normal to not be able to relax, be tranquil and peaceful without sex.
Sex is a biological necessasity that controls you as long as you frame it that way.

5 hours ago, Gregory1 said:No, it is indeed just the tip of the iceberg. If you want to go deeper maybe study how ideology and conspiracies work, Leo has some excellent videos on it.
I have seen all the videos, and contemplated the advanced topics and basic topics. You're post is mostly blaming, which was what I was pointing out. You parroting points against a movement, while lumping me into that group, which I am not a part of nor support. Don't include me into a delusional group, despite how my personal problem matches their talking points about the vaccine. My problem is real, while theirs are mostly parroting each other, with a few being actually experienced, which may have originally started from actual cases where vaccine side effects, dating back to the traditional vaccines that contained aluminium as a base, which correlated to some developing cognitive decline faster, and a percentage of the population being born with autism and ADD disorder, which is partially true. You were barging in here being generally negative isn't helpful at all.

Every perspective has some partial truth.

Similarly to talking about the risk of covid, it wouldn't be appreciated here, to be talking about the risk of getting killed by a lion. Yes, sometimes people get killed by lions. Yes, sometimes people have complications with vaccines. But all these things are of very small scope and not of interest for the larger community.
People who want to talk about that shit blow it out of proportion. It's like saying: Because sometimes people get eaten by lions I'm not gonna leave my house now anymore.
Bullshit conspiracy theories, all that anti-vaxx ideologies. You should be glad for having a forum like this one which is built on wisdom and truth. You should be glad for having a free vaccine, you should RUN to your doctor to get it.
If you want conspiracy, you'll find plenty of other online forums just built on lies and bullshit, no need to make this one such a place too.
I'll be happy to say goodbye to all conspiracy-theorists. If you wanna be stupid, be stupid. But don't forget this: Stupid people usually don't live very good lives. Stupid people do all kinds of bullshit and then they wonder why their lives suck. Or they act surprised when they get Covid-19 and die terrible and painful deaths from it.
You caused your own bullshit to happen, you created your own death by your sheer stupidity. People are too stupid to see their own stupidity, thats the irony...
It's not the complete picture.

The brain and chemicals and electricity is imaginary in nature (I don't have to go through the entire explanation of why, probably you understand why already)... The hands are imaginary, made of touch, seeing, etc.
The chemicals are imaginary, the hands are imaginary, so what is real. What is moving the hands. What ISN'T imaginary?
It's an interesting topic, a bit different from free will vs determinism/fate.
Yes, it feels like you are moving your hands and choosing that way, but really focus on that impulse while remembering how the hands have been moving. A series of movements in time past, and not a thought arise of 'I'm moving these hands' when you were roughly 3 or less old. You had 3 years of thoughtless practice of moving your body, without too much attachment to the body or self awareness for the most part, until you were conscious of your reflection plus mimicry of sounds that a thought of the self is formed.
What is real is stuff that has more permanence versus less permanence in the physical domain. Then there's non-physical stuff, which is where you can label as hallucinations or imagination in the common sense. Here, what isn't imaginary is the physical stuff relatively speaking, but that's also consciousness elements too, just like illusions.

11 minutes ago, BlackPhil said:Is it really "very very few"? That's the thing. I personally know more people who got hearth problems after taking the mRNA-shots than I know people who got very sick from covid, and like I've mentioned, I live in a country that didn't even lock down. How am I supposed to be pro these vaccines when things just don't add up when looking at reality and the numbers?
I hope you get well soon! I think you should avoid hard physical exercise until your hearth feels normal. Many athletes who died during intense workout here in Europe now.
Figuratively speaking it is a few. for every 100 to 1000 cases, there are roughly 100,000 to 1,000,000 who don't have that kind of reaction to vaccine. Figuratively speaking only.
Thanks, I will get better soon, for the doctor's sake I better get well soon, or ask for a refund.

Benefits I can attest to:
Walk tall and proud with good posture.
Look people in the eye when I pass them.
Feel more "at ease" around everyone - lack of excessive self-consciousness.
I don't feel "inferior" or "superior" to anyone I interact with.
Feel happy and motivated to work on a daily basis.
Intrinsically motivated flow states of high productivity.
Less likely to put up with anyone's bullshit.
Straight forward and radically honest demeanour.
Genuinely more compassionate and merciful to others of all social classes.
Nearly complete fearlessness - consistently choose love over fear.
I feel more focused, calibrated and emotionally intelligent.
A feeling of authenticity and purity.
More intelligent, greater working and long term memory.
Way more charismatic and witty.
More loving and conscious.
Yep, there are spiritual benefits to the practice, as long as spiritual practices are done alongside the celibacy.

9 hours ago, Pavement said:I have a question which maybe someone can help me understand.
if there are so many cases and all of these people are getting Covid, then doesn’t that mean all of these people now have antibodies to the virus? I never see this mentioned, only emphasis on getting vaccinated but nothing ever talked about all the 100s of 1000s of people who have recovered… ?
U.K. for example has many cases, so why aren’t we nearing herd immunity?
Recovered people + vaccinated people should make up a bigger percentage that those who are unvaccinated.
What am I missing ?I don't know what's missing, but we should definitely have anti bodies at this point, of course for those who have survived the covid virus. I don't know whether the virus has evolved a way around due to the spiked proteins it has. it surely is an abnormal virus.

2 hours ago, Consept said:The fact that anti-vaxxers keep going on about it is interesting in of itself, why is it you have to convince others on your position? If you really don't want take it then don't. There are consequences for not taking a malaria vaccine if you go to certain countries, so it is what it is, unless you want to protest that too.
The pov of the anti-vaxxer, esp on this forum, seems to be that everyone is just stuck in their echo chamber and they don't get the truth that you somehow hold. This forum specifically engages in critical thinking, as well there are many scientists and medical professionals on here. Did you ever consider that your information was considered and then decided that whatever risks you bring up are for outweighed by the net benefits? Either way a decision has been made by the person so realistically you're not going to convince someone, unless you can prove all the experts wrong and show how the vaccine is worse than covid.
I can agree, that on pure anecdotes and being dogmatic, just talking dogmatically like conspiracy theorists isn't helpful and just parroting talking points without the experience is being a blind sheep which can cloud the issue of which member is just believing versus which is genuinely experiencing a problem.
While the main issue is psychological identity and attachment to the narrative and fear mongering and misinformation, the person/group's cognitive, moral, ego development, personality typing, and these exist at the level of collective, I'm more concerned with this key issue of life experiences at the individual level. Especially when, an individual has directly experienced a side effect of such a treatment with little warning beforehand that effect half or more of that person's life. The main problem in that situation is what does that individual do then? You can't just give a blanket advice of go see your doctor, because chances are that most traditional doctors are in the middle of a psychological, social, political, economical and cultural warfare of misinformation, specifically coming from anti vax, alternative medicine paths and other related ideologies that are not just anti vax but anti traditional western medicine. In that ecological context, the individual's problems relating to the vaccine will likely get swept aside in facor of searching for other factors to narrow down, zoom in on and reduce to as the cause instead of the particular vaccine reaction. It could lead to a waste of time.
I wasn't warned about the potential side effect of the mRNA spike protein in the Pfizer vaccine, and now I have to deal with heart arrhythmia, which consequently led to me reducing my overall physical output in other parts of my life at the moment. This also consequently led to my emotonal fitness being lowered, being more depressed. This is real and directly experienced by me, and it is not just mental narratives in my head. I hope this problem gets resolved soon and I get some compensation one way or another, cuz now I'm dealing with that and exploring other potential factors as well.
Again, I'm speaking not just for me, but for the very very few who have experienced those side effects. I'm not speaking for or support anti vax related ideologies, and hope that some of you see past this ideological warfare and just help the individuals who have those problems with the side effects. I have received some help from some users here already for my ongoing healing of my problem, so do so for someone who asks help for what to do insteadof shutting them down. This part I'm speaking broadly to those reading.

What are the alternatives for the few negatively effected by the vaccine? That's the main issue that needs clarifying, not anti vax ideology and virus conspiracy theories. What do you do if you're negatively effected in your direct experience??

So yes, the government does have the ability to do so. and yes I do agree with communities adopting such protocol to protect their families.
Was this because of your career choice as a nurse, or they do a general check if you're vaccinated?

Wishy washy democratic measures for all sorts of various takes on an issue are not prioritized during war time. You don’t have time to discuss this stuff and unite the conflicting parts when a unified enemy is at your gates. I hope they start forcing this more on people who are healthy to take it.
I get this is tiring, which is mostly coming from users who spin this into anti vax and conspiracy fear mongering, but the vaccines do have side effects, a few people do actualize them, so to me it's worth having a discussion about them openly to a certain degree on it's effects and how to manage them. It's just that topics like this get derailed for the most part, so instead for a valuable discussion, we end up getting derailed to nothing.
Keep in mind, for the very few who are effected, the effect can alter their lives to sometimes negative extent.

Ok, no need to get hostile towards uneducated Gurus. Most of them are not that privileged and have access to the same education as somebody else who has that and more.

I'd get condoms, and be willing to spend extra for high quality condoms if the normal ones impede sensitivity.
Always pull out when you feel like you're over 50/50 of ejaculating.
Unless there's more to the situation or other factors outside sexuality, then take a break from casual sex, or continue.
