  1. I don't know how to phrase this question,( or statement) hmmm... I feel like a fraud when I'm experiencing extreme joy and ecstacy( ok I was on mushrooms ?), One, when I'm alone there this part of me that tells me ... It's like dude you don't deserve this Second, I was like soberish happy and I can't even muster the courage to share my joy with others ( Im still stuck in my head) Is that my old conservative ego or am I trying to stay grounded? .. I don't know which part of the trip do I take back with me?? Life can't be this joyful??? Sorry for the silly question.. Maybe?
  2. Wow, your statement/question hits my heart like a sledgehammer ?, I live in a very strict conservative environment so I don't know how often I suppress my feelings? Trying to break out of my shell is quite an undertaking ? Most of the time, I don't know whether my actions are brave or foolish?
  3. And in the moment, I realized what a silly thing that is 'not knowing what to do', I mean I don't understand it conceptually, it was more like realizing it was a joke. How can someone not know what to do? You always know what to do! Everything is just working out for me! I guess you need a bit of the sensuality and silliness of the mushrooms vibe to get it. Back in my sober state, I still have this lingering sadness and melancholy of wanting a plan for my life. But in the mushroom state, I feel a supreme happiness that everything is just going to be ok, you always know what to do? Or the universe knows what to do?
  4. ?lol, I'm not there yet. Hopefully one day, I'll get it ?
  5. How it this even possible? ?
  6. Hmmmm??? Probably just ear wax buildup??? I have this problem, where one part of the ear gets muffled every couple of years. It does feel like there's water in the ear and a bit of ringing. Firstly, use eardrops like Soluwax. If that doesn't work. See a ear specialist, where she'll suck the wax out of the ear. It cost USD$100 where I'm from in a private clinic. I do this procedure every couple of years. Your problem might be this simple, it might be not. Just sharing my experience.
  7. Happy Birthday !!!
  8. ❤ Byron Katie - Jobless in this Superficial World ❤
  9. I'm writing this with the assumption you are talking about Byron Katie's The Work, because it seems like a quote that I've heard her say. Byron Katie's The Work doesn't work from a third person perspective. It is not a passive experience. It’s not a way to try to force yourself to feel peace, or love, when you don’t. You've got to the work(inquiry) with kindness. If you do it right, you will feel more empowered, and more able to see solutions and actions to your problems. Let say you are being abuse, The solution isn't to say I'm not being abuse, I understand why the other person is abusing me, I'll let the other person abuse me. It's not about denial or or pretending it didn’t happen Rather Question your unfriendly thoughts. I have no escape from this terrible situation I'm in... is it true? Once you're open, you can think more clearly, more creatively. I didn’t speak up, I didn’t go to him directly, I smiled when in his presence and play-acted like everything was fine. I didn’t share my fears. I didn’t get support for myself. I stuffed things down. I gave the wrong impression. I didn’t look to myself with care, love and attention. The best way to address the feeling of smallness, powerlessness, and being a victim of something or someone (including you) is to access your honest yes or no within, and practice saying it out loud. So, no one can abuse me? Well, that is only a question that I (or you) can genuinely answer. Some of the sentences I copied from https://workingwithgrace.com/ LOL? That is a great epistemic question.
  10. To anyone seeking greater mental wellbeing, these podcasts are the best. At Home With Byron Katie They are currently 36 episodes. This is mainly taken from her live events at https://thework.com/at-home-with-byron-katie/ , if anyone's interested. What can I say, I love Byron Katie. Listening to her makes the nails in my heart float away to... hmm... I don't know, somewhere ?, now it's no longer lodged in my heart. ? Even if you are a seemingly self-aware person, however, her exercises can be super helpful at coaching you to move through uncomfortable periods of life, whether those are periods of obsession or spiraling thoughts that tend to grip and overwhelm us (This sentence is taken from https://graceandlightness.com/byron-katie-the-work/ )
  11. Sorry for your loss, Sine RIP WaveInTheOcean

  14. Thanks! Very useful. I don't know if this fits here. Game recommendations ? https://www.actualized.org/insights/disco-elysium https://www.actualized.org/insights/stage-green-turquoise-video-game
  15. All of Byron Katie's work. Preferably in audible form. Listening is better than reading to feel the author's presence.
  16. Dear Leo, You are the torch that is guiding humanity to a new dawn. Your inspiration is unparalleled. Thank you Leo. Wishing you health and prosperity. Happy Birthday!!!
  17. agree with hyruga what's your goals? I've lost 10kg with 48hours of intermittent fasting. I don't think it improves productivity. You just form new mental habits. And it helps you structure your day better.
  18. Timestamp 3:20, I thought this is a beautiful passage. How a piece of music can become reified in our minds Let me propose a thought experiment Imagine for a moment you're a god Omnipotent in every way, With this power, if you were to listen to a piece of music You'd be aware of much more than just how it sounds you'd know how it came into existence aware of every iteration that existed in the composer's mind as it was created you'd also be aware of every cultural, social and biological influence that contributed to its creation both deliberate and unconscious apart from how it was created, you'd also know everything about its influences. you'd be coignizant of every different interpretation of that music that existed in the mind of every listener from every point in time and you'd be aware of how this understanding is always changing. you'd be able to trace every phrase, every musical idea back through the centuries back to its musical origin, comprehending how they slowly transformed from person to person in order to end up where they are now what others think of as a 'single work' you'd perceive as a live connection to the endlessly shifting and impossibly complex conversation of musical thought and influence.
  19. How music influences our interpretation of the shows we watch. You Donkey! ?
  20. LOL! ? --- So this is what it feel's like to be a fanboy/girl! Damn!! ? Is this why people camp outside the shops when there is a product launch?
