Thought Art

I stand by this song, and I will continue to write more.

I wrote a song called Mountain Tops. I think it’s one of my best songs. It’s very chill and simple. here are the lyrics. (“I’ve Walked on mountain tops Seen clouds fallen for each other Ive walked on mountain tops, been looking for a lover been looking for love and I’ve seen people go people goin’ round the mountain now ain’t that something and I’ve got a big surprise!!! All these tears of love in my eyes! They won’t stay dry! wo oh oh oh oohhhhh”) x2 I will record this, and release it as a single as a way of fulfilling my artistic desires instead of suppressing them all the time. The guitar melody is just awesome too. It’s laid back but ecstatic. Will share recording soon. The lyrics are good, they fit nicely together.

How do I become super intelligent?

Glad you are okay. Remember that states of mind change and suicidal thoughts are just that. Remember it will pass.

Problem with clubs is I hate staying up past 930

Going to push myself to go to a club tonight. I don’t live in a huge city but I can at least begin some approaches. I know if I don’t I will settle for some girl and feel like I limited myself.

Wonder what I will discover. I dunno about all of Taoist cosmology. I don’t claim to believe it all, and I have direct experience of little. However, as I practice Qigong more and more the energy claims are very true. Had a very powerful Qi ball going today. And the results of my qigong practice are great. I teach and practice Qigong on a regular basis. But, it’s a very deep subject that has a lot of challenges to understand it as a westerner.

I dunno

@Leo Gura I’ve looked into that guy too. Wild.

Super impressed by this one. Couldn’t believe how clever this guy was! Also this guy is a world class story teller.

“Wow”

We live in an era in the west where there are so many unconscious political retards, conspiracy theorists, uneducated, emotionally reactive, brain dead social media warriors and their moronic emotionally reactive followers that… Great leaders will struggle greatly but conman will prevail Unfortunately to be lead by a great leader you can’t be a retard Great men will be seen as conman and conman as great leaders In this storm can you make out what is clear? Can you trust your own mind and the bullshit you swim in?

Keto is bad

@docs20 Leo has shared more expansive definitions in the past man is like the wind

You can’t really trust human knowledge exactly but, you can cross the bridge on your way to work, trust expiry dates, and take your chances sky diving. but, can you trust Harvard/ Stanford research? Nah

You get paid for what you are good at. There is plenty of mediocre people, but if you wanna get paid a lot and be highly valuable you gotta choose one thing. Also, it is to be noted that some industry are winner take all, so in those industry you need to be the best so focus on one thing. Other jobs/ professions may be more suited to people who are more shallow in their ability but they also tend to earn less.

I eat plant based with exception of eggs. I eat plant based, I am working on making sure I eat a very healthy diet. I eat a lot of beans, brown rice, vegetables like broccoli, carrot, cauliflower, and tofu. I eat fruits, nuts, etc. I also make sure I consume mushrooms like Reishi, Lions Mane, and I take vitamin d and omega 3 oils. The oat mills I drink are fortified with B12 (which comes from bacteria). I want to make sure I am getting all the proper vitamins and minerals, healthy amounts of proteins etc… and I am also concerned with balancing yin and Yang, acid/ Alkaline, eating for the right season, etc Brian Johnson who spends 2million dollars a year on his private team of health scientists also eats plant based. I’ll likely be implementing more from his meal plans, while also considering Taoist and Aruryvedic approaches which are plant based basically. So, people who say plant based isn’t healthy are simply wrong. I am very healthy. I walk, bike, run, do Qigong daily. Plant based works for me. I am not against eating meat. I occasionally do under rare circumstances but I overall like to avoid meat. I do feel better when I avoid it. Plant based is very healthy when done properly. Though, all bodies are different and so nutrition may vary from person to person. Also, don’t discount the importance of herbs and spices in the maintenance of good health. This is rarely understood.

Depends how you use the word. In a traditional sense I’d that that’s true. Seth uses the word in a creative way.

@Chadders You would be according to Seth Godin What Is Your Art? "I define art as having nothing at all to do with painting. Art is a human act, a generous contribution, something that might not work, and it is intended to change the recipient for the better, often causing a connection to happen. Five elements that are difficult to find and worth seeking out. Human, generous, risky, change and connection. You can be perfect or you can make art. You can keep track of what you get in return, or you can make art. You can enjoy the status quo, or you can make art. The most difficult part might be in choosing whether you want to make art at all, and committing to what it requires of you. " - Seth Godin

Who are you training with? Have you competed? What are your goals? What styles are you into? Love to follow along. Not sure if you want peeps dropping in on your thread though —- about me Nice man, I trained for a couple of years. I’ve competed as a white belt, won a tournament or two. I am technically still a white belt, but was offered a blue belt by my training away from home Gym. So take that as you will. I enjoyed a very powerful and controlling bottom game. Though, once I trained outside the city I developed a very strong top game as well. I was very into lapel guard, spider guard, and tornado guard for my bottom game. Then, a very grounded, smothering, crushing top game. I was strong at armbars, triangles, and chicken arm submission. Books I think would do well: Peter Ralton’s books: Zen Body Being and Art of Mastery.
