@WisdomSeeker You must know spiral dynamics and how Tier 2 stops demonizing others.

@RyanK It did happen but it’s like a puff of smoke, it’s gone. Unlike the smoke, though, you’re not going to find it in the atmosphere or anything. Just in your mind and others. Maybe in a stain, or picture as well. But the ‘past’ is just right now, spelled differently. Then imagine that ‘spelling’ shifting into a different spelling, that is the future. Same letters different arrangement. The only reason people say the past does not exist or perhaps even feels that way is usually because their new perspective shattered the ideas they had.

@Leo Gura The ‘not sure why,’ in this, seems very uncharacteristic of you, given the context of it’s usage. Would you mind elaborating? Surely, you know why you don’t have the button, hmm? Who wants the button?

If I were to look at my past and not cringe- it’d mean I’m okay with the same things and have not grown. To cringe is to recognize you’ve grown.

The universe is everything and everything is love. That includes disregard of humans. From the universes perspective that is still an equal love. It’s the same for cancer, war, etc. Just a lovely game to the universe. But if we didn’t feel it so dire we wouldn’t have the game at all.

If our survival didn’t matter you wouldn’t see evil. It wouldn’t even exist.

Brazilian Jujitsu is a relatively low impact combat sport that is great exercise, teaches self defense, etc. Its great for countless things and so are some other combat sports. But BJJ is low impact this low risk and open to many young and old, serious and beginner.

Figure out your life purpose so when you do start developing skills, you’re headed in the right direction.

In my experience, I wish I would’ve started life purpose along side enlightenment.

So I know I need to take notes, I get it- I have a few but not much really. The bright side of not taking notes is everything I know I know I know. So from avid not noter, maybe try to focus on raw understanding and allow your notes to loosely refresh you while retaining key data/points.

Just comes done to the person. the spectrum: NO ANAL WHY WOULD I? Thats gross never done it id maybe try it id try it im going to try it ive tried it ive done it a few times ive done it a lot I LOVE ANAL ————— A girl could say any of those things about anal. Just depends on the person.

When you’re allowed to say whatever you want, groups will start to agree about what should and should not be said. We don’t have freedom of speech because we wanted to say everything. We have freedom of speech to figure out what we do not want to say. It sounds backwards but freedom of speech is supposed to guide us towards a more conscious way of speaking- not one where we little just say anything- because we can. We all know where that gets us. Well, not all, that’s the problem here anyways, isn’t it? Some actually think that because we can say anything, we should and thats how we exercise our rights. But we need to acknowledge that none of us like to hear everything and at the very least there needs to be a good contextual foundation for the words.

If you don’t think it will cause legal trouble, 100% yes. Be able to discuss sourcing, methods, precautions, etc. would be so beneficial.

@Preety_India The reasons. Most likely, the general, nonspecific, forgiving reason are not the real ones in this scenario. If you’re thinking things like ‘they’re a person too, that’s why they did it, selfishness, etc’ Thats a good starting place but not good enough to forgive them in a way that isn’t Stockholm syndrome. For that you’d need to suffer a little, controllably, and figure out really why?

That’s awesome! Keep doing nothing, if it works.

Trust me https://www.altrarunning.com/ They don’t have to be running shoes. I wear them inside too, as slippers, despite the look. Read up on them a bit; their big things are the open toe box and neutral/level base.

Ants in my eyes Johnson!!!!!! One of the best!!!

@Carl-Richard if they get bad enough, you can go get them drained. Otherwise, steamy showers, vitamin C, etc. standard cold stuff.

@thisintegrated This is just naive. Pretty sure the authors of spiral dynamics are stage blue. So ‘blue teaching these yellow concepts is just dumb’ is just dumb. Also yellow thinks can make shitty videos too. Check out some of Leo’s work a few years ago

@thisintegrated You’re being very naive. Spiral dynamics was written by people at stage blue. Certainly not yellow or turquoise.

Ignoring the simple preferences people may have for their lifestyle, there are probably more kids and people in third world countries on this forum than we may think. Meaning, some of us simply haven’t been given the spotlight yet. That’s not a victim complex, that can be true. Also, again, many of us here are happy with a fork in our eye Who cares about money? What have you been doing? Haven’t you learned anything?! Just kidding Seriously though, to each their own life. We didn’t come here to compete or contrast metrics of character. Most of us came here for Truth and you don’t have to be a billionaire playboy to figure Truth out or talk about it. In fact, it might slow you down haha

Fair enough.

I’m glad you’re cooking I just moved out and I started back up myself, fun, tasty, and sometimes healthy. Im glad it seems you’re doing the basics too. Sometimes the basics feel that way so we can get them over with and dream a little. Dream a little. If you’re taking care of yourself and just feel a dread, you must still have some extra time to yourself if you’re cooking, eating, etc. Try things, with or without people. Whatever, just dream. We love you.

Good and Evil are relative. Assuming you are a good person, stay that way. But nothing is saying you are but you. Good can be evil and evil can be good. One thing, good for me, could be bad for you. Vice versa. The relative game of ‘Good vs. Evil’ is senseless though. It is better to focus on your ability to focus. Your ability to surrender to whatever happens. If you understand God, non duality, etc. You’ll see why everything from Gods perspective is good and why it can not be this why for you without suffering. It could also feel sick, nasty and outright wrong. This might be where some of your confusion comes from. You could be trying to take on Gods perspective too fast. Im sure you’re a nice person, but it is hard for any of us to surrender to seemly injustice atrocities of the world in the name of wisdom and Gods love. Or however you want to look at it. Instead of worrying about what good and evil are maybe it’d be more practical to first focus on what you think is good and evil. Have you felt evil? or Good? What remains the same out of those experiences? Any differences? In physics there is a saying ‘there is no such thing as cold, only lack of heat.’ Heat is just the moving of particles, no movement, no heat. But it’s really not cold just less hot. I like to say, and I don’t know if I made this up or Leo or someone said it but: ‘There is no such thing as hate, only lack of Love’ I think it fills in the gaps.

Just some I’ve gathered the past couple years, not much. Just the ones that stick with me. The hashtags are for search function
