Thought Art

Definitely a good contemplation for me. From my outputs and contemplations on chatgpt I can see there are distinctions. But, you can easily ask chatgpt these things yourself.

@Carl-Richard Don’t fake quote me please. In order to get what I said you’d have to actually study the difference between “Waking Up” and “Growing Up”. Non-dual state of consciousness is very different than seeing everyone as one highly Interconnected whole. That’s an understanding that’s not, to me, a far stretch. That’s essentially what systems thinking leads to if you take it to the extreme. The Intro to Systems thinking I read even has a section on it I think. Reality is non-dual and can be intellectually understood as such. It helps when you seek clarity, perhaps the Socratic method instead of putting words in my mouth. Not saying you’d have to agree either. But, it’s sort of rude and sloppy to do that imho. To start with, Spiral Dynamics measures cognitive development not awakening or mysticism. Whether it’s a perfect model or not could be besides the point. If your going to critique it you should first understand what it is

@Carl-Richard Spiral dynamics would be in Ken Wilbur's model part of growing up which is a distinct aspect of the model from waking up/ mysticism. Spiral Dynamics measures psychological and moral development, as well as sphere of concern and identification. Waking up/ mystical experiences/ spirituality, and states would be part of the "waking up" aspects of development. This is not what Spiral Dynamics Measures. Mystical insights and "Waking Up" can happen at any stage of human development "Growing Up". You're level of growing up is like the filter which interprets the waking up experiences. Be careful in blurring different quadrants of growing up, waking up, cleaning up and showing up. Ken Wilbur is not in the business of creating new empirical data, but bringing together into a single tapestry many different models from experts in different fields. Integral Meta Theory helps to organize and map these models. Ken Wilbur provides explanation that mystical experiences happen in all cultures all around the world. The models in his book integral psychology show this well. ---- Chatgpt: Beige: Survival instincts and basic needs. Purple: Tribalistic, magical thinking. Red: Power-driven, egocentric. Blue: Order, tradition, authority. Orange: Achievement, rationality, success. Green: Community, equality, environmentalism. Yellow: Integrative, systems thinking. Turquoise: Holistic, global awareness ---- Turquoise includes Yellow's systems thinking and integrative modelling but move ups to include the entire planet, and all systems seen as a holistic whole. It is non-dual in it's thinking, but not to be confused with non-dual mysticism. Though, People at this stage of develop may also have had awakenings of deep non-duality, but it's not the same thing. Essentially, Yellow is largely reductionistic in it's application of systems thinking compared to Turquoise if I am correct.

ChatGPT told me it can’t access internet

@Ayham The best path should have truth at the core of it. But, then again, who you are and what you want from life is up to you. You’ve got to make and live your own life. But, truth is powerful for living well regardless of your particular biases and preferences. If you want success in any domain in life, then grasping these relative truths is important.

@Ayham Yes, that is true. So, when you study all these different paths and their techniques and practices, their philosophy and epistemology through the lens of Pure Philosophy I think you end up with a powerful path. Meta Rationality I suppose and direct experience of absolute truth and other spiritual domains that are more relative. I would also say that Wen Kilburs Integral Meta theory would be useful here too.

I think. The best path is likely True/ Pure Philosophy as Leo has laid it out.

We live in an age of unprecedented information access. You can work on yourself. Get a library card, internet connection, and begin.

Hm, that might be a paradoxically relative question

New EQ Routine up now:

I would say, releasing music and even Qigong routines is an art in surrender and not knowing. Marketing and segmentation. Interpretation and perspectives.

I’m glad I released this new song. I feel like I’ve cleared up a lot of the neurotic blockages I’ve had from making art the last couple years. The song is really simple, just me and the guitar done in one take. It’s inspired me. I have maybe, 10 others songs I’ve sat on which I’ve written I’d like to record as well over the winter. I am also planning on investing in a course, and some equipment. I really enjoy Holistic Songwritings materials. I have PDF documents I will use to create these new songs. They will have bass, drum, synth, guitar and vocal. They will have a more classical structure and apply the addiction formula. So, I plan on recording old songs under the name Pine Haven and releasing them. And, I plan on working on a new EP, which will be a further application of Holistic Songwriting concepts.

@UnbornTao Thanks for the kind comment 😀

Tree planting is a good gig. Right now making $450-500 a day. Planted 3300 trees today wooh The life of an endurance planter lol

I am stepping into freedom, success and alignment with my values.

I’m doing some important hard self facing today.

Working on a qigong project today

Ahh, the good sting of creative output.

Mountaintops is a good song, just have to get to know it. One of the next songs I release for Pine haven will have drums, bass, synth and vocals and will be written based in addiction formula, not based on woodshed spirit.

I woke up thinking about how wrong people are about my song. Anyway, I know it’s a sick song. Y’all easy to criticize but I don’t see your song. Haha, I’m gonna keep singing and listening to mountaintops because it’s chill, meditative and relaxing and ecstatic.

I’ve fallen in love with Audible. I have been able to find so many interesting audiobooks. I feel like I’m learning to build a fantastic inner game. I am realizing that every area of my life requires more contemplation. My skills as a musician can deepen. I will design a training and self study regime for the coming years. I am going to focus on making the music I want to make. Mountaintops for me, is one of the best songs I’ve written. I think it’s very good. I also think people need to get to know it. There’s plenty of songs I have to hear a couple times before my brain can really dive into it. I enjoy this songs simplicity, it’s repetitive nature. It’s bare bones. I like that the lyrics just repeat twice. I like the lyrics. I like the imagery of the song. I cry tears of joy when I listen to it. And tears of love. If you could hear what I hear, which is Heaven. Then you’d know why I wrote it.
