Is it?

Esoteric Encyclopedia of Eternal knowledge - Vernon Howard

Try writing out 5 pages contemplating this for yourself. Include. 1. What questions should I ask? (then write them out) 2. What are the pros and cons of these decisions and their consequences? 3. What do I want long term in my life? and really, just write it out and think about it.

@Consept Did he say it was the best playlists? I thought he said that he has really particular music tastes or something and spends a of time working on it. Someone get us a time stamp lol

I’ve decided I am going to attend ToastMasters once a week for the next 12 months. Goals within this 12 months: 1. Do at 3 speeches or more at the toastmasters meetings 2. Enter both a speech competition and a table talk competition 3. Complete one of the Pathways online courses: Visionary Communication (still learning about these). 4. With the momentum of these meetings find an actual speaking Gig talking about Workplace Stress, Qigong and how to have less stress and more energy throughout the workweek.

@Javfly33 Well, Opiates are pain killers. They aren't helping your developing just numbing the pain.

@LSD-Rumi it’s not random..

Random unless you make plans ?

@Something Funny if you want to use paper then the Bullet Journal Method can be modified to be a commonplace book, though that’s limited.

The remarkable tablet ? My system is simple.. 1. remarkable tablet because I prefer to write by hand and be in distraction free, Deep work zone. Remarkable syncs to cloud and can be accessed by phone or laptop. I think the remarkable tablet makes a great commonplace book, or part of a commonplace book system. 2. One note.

Over Coming Anger: When it Helps and When it Hurts

Tonight went well. I really enjoy being around these types for people. There was an inspiring speech today. Bigger group this week! Table talks went well and they are inspiring to listen and take part in. I highly recommend you guys go if they have a toast masters in your area. Hoping to sign up for the membership once they straightened that up for me. Oh, and I won best table talk again!

I like hard exercise in morning, but I also like Qigong

Second meeting is tonight ?

I am saying that in the trans community there is a lot of mental illness. Not that being trans is a mental illness. Though, I do wonder to what extent it may be. I mean, you want to physically alter your body because you think you were being into the wrong body. That is illness to me. Though my mind is open as I continue to see different perspectives. This does not mean being trans is bad. I know that lots of people I’m sure are grateful they became trans. My honest opinion on transitioning is that it is largely cosmetic and I think has a lot of risks. For me this isn’t a right vs left issue. Not all groups of people, or identities are on an equal playing field. Each group has their own unique set of pros, cons, strengths and weaknesses. There is an idea that is popular right now if you question this trans phenomenon that you are trans Phil, right wing, etc… etc well maybe. Or maybe, I am just observing. I think it is natural for a man, or a women to be anywhere on the masculine or phenomenon spectrum. I have many friends who do drag, are gay, etc. I am sure for some people being trans is great. I know people who have transitioned and seem to be doing well. However, there is also a lot of foolishness going on.

One time… I tripped and stubbed my toe. (Theory of everything)

Nice! I suspect I have some kind of genetic difference that makes me so cool ?

How can we have more constructive conversations about Spiral Dynamics?

@Holykael Basic rule tripping is don’t make decisions. Don’t beat yourself up, but take responsibility and grow from the mistakes

Oh my Some expert…..

@Sultan Al Hind Solipsism says nothing about needing to survive and work a job. You need to work if you want to survive. It shouldn’t be treated as some idealogy that makes you a retard. You need to survive, be practical and develop healthy relationships with others.

It’s worth looking at all the pros and cons. I share this just because before you change your physical body you really want to do deep work, consider options etc. The physical transition is not you becoming the other gender. It is physically impossible to do this. There is a potential host of problems that can come from this. Such as losing your ability to feel sexual pleasure. So, please do as much research as possible. It’s also worth being cautious in the fantasy that women will treat you like a woman, or that men will. Maybe! But, also maybe they will see you as a man, or as trans which is a third thing, which I still know little about in the social realm. Of course there are different kinds of social circles out there so who knows. However, you have to make your own decisions. This is not, in reality a one sided problem. It is not that, those who share words of caution are bigots and transphobes. The reality is much more complicated. People who are blindly pro all things trans are pseudo progressive. They imagine that a complete blind acceptance of all things trans is good. There is good in accepting others and for everyone feeling safe and understood in society. But, what they don’t see is that when we begin to understand trans issues there’s a lot of mental health considerations, the rights of biological women and young girls, and dangers of transitioning that go into play here and in reality the situation is very complicated. A true progressive is going to move beyond group think and fear of social pressures to think for themselves and make high quality distinctions. When it comes to you being happy… this is a complicated thing. I beckon everyone to be willing to look at this from more perspectives. In the end, do what makes my happy and love yourself. It doesn’t really matter what other people think.

Battery is okay?

@PenguinPablo Hmm, I don't know. I know that I want to develop my interpersonal and leadership skills. That is important for my business. I think it's worth addressing. I may be being paranoid about how others perceive me but who knows.
