I, though I lack data, believe that it does in fact confuse young people.

I was thinking a lot today about what kind of dad I will be

@Leo Gura No. if that happen I will a cry (tears of joy) I think it would be great. You two could really hit it off

I remember reading an article that said a number of straight men sometimes watch gay porn

I think more people have shadow material than they admit. You may not be bisexual, but you know an attractive man when you see one. After some years of trying to be open and under my own sexuality. I have concluded I am straight. But, I was very very open and have faced many truths about my own experience. The one thing you can do is be honest with yourself about what you experience. You can never really know other peoples sexuality. It’s safe to assume when we see the large variety of human preference and expression in all areas of culture that people could be straight, gay, bi. That people can have a variety of sexual interests or inclinations and they could even change over time.

Welcome to the office

No, I used to think so but I was wrong. People may have shadow material, but I don’t think so.

Please don’t post in all caps

@Princess Arabia if we didn’t have standards on the forum this place would be worthless

@MarioGabrielJ I feel like this is a cringe post you’ll look back on if you take your studies in awakening seriously haha

@MarioGabrielJ That’s some sound and grounded logic you have there.

@Nemra huh?

It’s the evil “Dark Polarity” bro trying to manipulate your ego!

I feel cringy in this thread but I think there is some truth to what I said

@Leo Gura That’s not it. Leo, what you teach is so far removed from 99% of the new age spirituality that people are into to. The problem is far deeper than spirituality. The real problem is not understanding how the mind works, how politics works. People don’t self reflect.

@strika Right off the start the video dives into a conspiracy theory surrounding the shooting. The shooter was a mentally ill young person. It wasn’t a “they” conspiring haha

No one knows how it will react with them. Ive had some sketchy moments when gone too deep. But, physically for most people I think it’s pretty safe. It’s always a risk though.

Yeah I mean, Jordan has some good basic personal development tips, and ideas. But, he isn’t anything special. I really think most humans are not all that intelligent. I include myself in this.

Why do seemingly intelligent people make fall into this. I mean, how… Trump ran a scam called Trump University years ago. The guy spread distrust and denied the results of the last election… tried to overthrow the government…

I’ve reached a point where with politics I can’t even say anything… it’s too complicated. I am not an expert but I know I know little. To discuss politics is often to engage in conflict with others due to the nature of it at this stage of human development. To discuss these subjects on this forum adequately requires a lot of maturity, self reflection, education, etc. Some people on the forum are rooted to a certain position or perspective whether they realize it or not. These people can’t have conversations openly because of they did that part of them they cling to would die. Lot’s of us are simply to immature to gain deep understanding if these political issues. It’s also unclear to me what conscious communication of these issues should look like in practice given the reality that we find ourselves in. Each person comes to the forum with a unique database of information sources, survival concerns, biases, maturity, levels of wholeness and development…. So, we end up with conflict. Im not sure

Foundation Basics: 1. Begin using an excel spreadsheet for personal finance. Complement this by reading personal finance self help material. 2. plan your day and week with a calender and Trello. Complement this by reading habit forming, planning, and productivity self help material. 3. Build your common place book 4. Contemplate with ChatGPT about your goals regularly 5. Ground and centre yourself regularly through qigong, meditation, visualization, journaling and reviewing goals, to do list, finances and calender. Clean and organize your email, desktop, files. Clean and organize your living space. 6. Study the pros and cons of critical thinking vs intuition and begin using them in appropriate situations. 7. Apply the principles of life long learning, continuous improvement, goal setting, intentional living, conscious living, balanced living, healthy living, proactive living, responsible living, and effective interaction.

I really think that AI like ChatGPT should be used as a tool for self education. Using in combination with life long learning it becomes an invaluable resource for asking powerful questions, clarifying points made in books and documents, etc. For example, it can be used as a contemplation tool when building larger and more intricate mental models. Building mental models takes prolonged time and focus. Being able to ask questions to the AI allows for clarification, and a deeper synthesis as it can also act as a holding place for a mind which may drop or wander. It helps avoid tangents when you use orienting prompts when also including the questions that arise. This morning I am studying the liver meridian and asking questions about its relationship to Qigong techniques I have learned through Holden Qigong. I am looking to ever deepen my understanding of the energetic system. I want to master Qigong theoretically and experientially so I can create more powerful routines, workshops and courses.

I used to think this, but now I don’t think legalization is the answer. Specifically hard and addictive drugs
