For me this video showed the importance of humans sharing certain models and paradigms. And, also the fact that we DO have established systems for mathematics that shape our world. The use of alternative math systems are possible, but would they be adopted?

@Jannes What do you mean

Carry on, my wayward son There'll be peace when you are done Lay your weary head to rest Don't you cry no more Once I rose above the noise and confusion Just to get a glimpse beyond this illusion I was soaring ever higher But I flew too high Though my eyes could see, I still was a blind man Though my mind could think, I still was a mad man I hear the voices when I'm dreaming I can hear them say Carry on, my wayward son There'll be peace when you are done Lay your weary head to rest Don't you cry no more Masquerading as a man with a reason My charade is the event of the season And if I claim to be a wise man, well It surely means that I don't know On a stormy sea of moving emotion Tossed about, I'm like a ship on the ocean I set a course for winds of fortune But I hear the voices say Carry on my wayward son There'll be peace when you are done Lay your weary head to rest Don't you cry no more, no Carry on, you will always remember Carry on, nothing equals the splendor Now your life's no longer empty Surely heaven waits for you Carry on, my wayward son There'll be peace when you are done Lay your weary head to rest Don't you cry, don't you cry no more No more

Please, always hold me to a high standard on here as a mod. I will make mistakes. Being held accountable is important. I think I can be a jerk sometimes. It’s important I self reflect. Interesting, In order for me to be a good mod, I do need feedback from others.

His Buddhist framing is important to note. In my view he doesn’t understand what awakening is in how Leo talks about it. It’s more profound than just a similar mental happening when we wake up in the morning. I have to watch again. It’s a pretty dense talk.

I mean, the trick is God is both the source and the content. So, yeah. The “Content” is God. Idk how else to say it. Yes, all of the content is not the absolute (while also being the absolute). I’ll have to listen to him again. First impression he didn’t give a great explanation to back what he was saying. Though, I did like his non-dual take on it. However, I do wonder if he non-dual stance influences his understanding in a way that is limiting. Willing to try later again.

@Vrubel The attack on Israel as far as I can tell is well documented. I don’t know why he is questioning it.

I think there are good coaches out there. But, a lot of people who are under qualified learn marketing and sales and people end up paying 3k for a “manifesting” course is nonsense to me. Law of attraction and manifestation is dumb.

Actually you can. By creating an ideology, which paradoxically isn’t

Do you know much much you earn each month? Do you have a budget you set monthly and track your expenses? Have you given each dollars a purpose? Are you spending less than you earn? Why don’t you have a steady job/ source of income?

When you demonize, mock, belittle, lower, make stupid, project bad intentions on others who disagree with you… you are shutting yourself off to seeing the situation objectively. Please be wary of doing this.

@Raze I don’t know what is true or what your goal is with sharing what you are sharing here. It seems to be offending some users though. Be mindful of that.

@Nivsch Hey, I do respectfully suggest we don’t demonize news reports that are not favourable to Israel. The same should be true for news that isn’t favourable to Palestine. If something is true, like an event that happened and it’s being reported by news stations, and people on the ground in Gaza (many who are doctors from other nations) and to assume it’s lies is a problem in my opinion. If you simply deny and reject news you don’t like… it’s not adding to the thread. But, if you have proof something is false… that is different.

Either quit, or change your relationship with it. Start going out and socializing and doing the things you wanna do.

The amount of immaturity and self deception I’ve worked through over the years

Peace of mind is my number one goal in life I think. Central to how I go about creating balance and maturity in my life. Chasing fame or purpose or wealth is all nonsense. Though, wealth building is part of peace of mind.

I don’t know what is true. But, I have a deep respect for Israel. I have a deep respect for the innocent of Palestine. I hope for Peace and healing. I Hope i have not offended anyone in this thread. I wish you Peace and health. “Out Beyond Ideas of Wrongdoing and Rightdoing Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing, There is a field. I'll meet you there. When the soul lies down in that grass, The world is too full to talk about. Ideas, language, even the phrase each other Doesn't make any sense.” - Rumi

@Danioover9000 Interesting interpretation. Thanks for sharing. I watched it, I don't know what is true. I generally watch things but don't cling to hard. But, I would question that interpretation as well. What if they were trying to figure out what was true? Not, simply twist things towards their bias? Or, what if they are biased toward one side, for some reason, and wanted to make one side look bad? How do we make that distinction when we watch news? How do we know the news sources we listen to are accurate? How do we know our interpretations of the news we watch is accurate and/or of high quality? How can we notice when our biases and triggers are distorting what is actually being said? How can we see or be aware of the bias of the particular news source we are listening to? How does recontextualization and insight play into understanding complex social situations and conflicts? What role does listening and observing multiple perspectives play into understanding what is true in a situation?

Don't just fear the famous guys. There are so many out there who you'll never hear of. Learn to spots the signs for sure.

Don’t turn solipsism into an identity or ideology. Why did it matter what the Buddha did? What do YOU do?

Have been a few threads on this already
