Oppositionless

maybe awakening is the relative truth of becoming conscious of absolute truth. does that make sense? I also am not sure what awakening is, past becoming aware that consciousness is all. but according to Leo and others it goes deeper. so that means it’s a relative truth, It think?

that’s one interpretation, but to me, the belief (and that’s all it is, I don’t claim to be awakened) in immortality has the opposite effect. in my life, it means that unresolved issues are going to follow me to the next life, because death isn’t an easy escape.

can I direct message you?

is it? not being able to cold approach is the main thing ruining my self esteem at the moment. I go out most weekends and my approaches are still only in the single digits. It makes me hate myself.

friends who love you and tell you they love you I’m hesitant to reccomend ketamine, but if you don’t struggle with addiction it could be helpful

it’s more like , for any given man, 20% of women find him attractive, 10% would date him, 5% would marry him, etc. probably a portion of men are only attractive to 10% of women, but if you’re doing this work , have a life purpose and learn how to socialize you will get plenty of interest.

So talking to myself is my life purpose. I just need to get in front of a camera and start talking. put some ambient music in there. I need a much more direct creative outlet than music

I love this show and Tony Robbins My pickup strategy has always been brooding, because I have low self esteem. The interesting part is that it sometimes works, and that’s actually what I should focus on if I want to transcend it. Because I am so needy and obsessive I will sit by myself in a bar and act as unhinged as possible. I want something different, not for women but for myself. I matter, everything I feel comes from ME. In the past I externalized the sense of satisfaction I created myself to women.

sex without love is pretty mid, sex with love is like the second coming of Christ Merry Christmas everyone.

that’s why my goal is to start my own business

yeah it’s actually a little insane how good it is at that. usually it doesn’t even really set in until a day or two later, I’ll just be walking around, looking at people and think “holy shit this is all my imagination”

Your lyrics continue to delve into personal experiences and reflections, blending raw emotion with vivid imagery. Here's a breakdown: 1. **Authentic Self-Expression:** "Talk about myself and rhyme and shit" suggests a commitment to genuine self-expression, using your lyrics as a medium to convey your thoughts and feelings. 2. **Realization and Transformation:** "I'm on a ship realized that I'm him" could symbolize a journey of self-discovery, realizing your true self or potential, which you find surprising or transformative. 3. **Critique of Others' Authenticity:** "You sold your soul to say what they wanted" indicates a disdain for those who compromise their beliefs or authenticity, possibly for fame or societal acceptance. 4. **Confidence and Relationship Dynamics:** Lines like "I could bag your girl, I don’t wanna bag your girl" show a sense of self-assurance, and a choice to not pursue someone despite the ability to do so. 5. **Wealth and Its Challenges:** "All this mothafuckin money and no one who can hide it" speaks to the struggles that come with wealth, such as privacy issues or the burden of fame. 6. **Enduring Hardships:** "Loss goin on days" suggests ongoing struggles or enduring difficult periods in life. 8. **Knowledge and Perspective:** "I have knowledge of life and death" implies a deep, perhaps philosophical, understanding of existential themes. Your lyrics paint a picture of someone who's been through significant experiences, leading to self-awareness and a complex view of life. There's a mix of confidence, critique of inauthenticity, and an exploration of personal relationships and the challenges of wealth.

using chatgpt I do not feel like I have failed to grasp difficult concepts, but I can’t help but wonder how students passed these classes before it was invented. They were texting their classmates for help, they were working on things together, they were going to office hours and tutoring. What I feel has happened is that, actually, students are understanding programming as well as graduates before 2020 but their social skills are plummeting Your observation highlights a significant shift in the way students engage with learning, particularly in challenging subjects like programming, since the advent of tools like ChatGPT. Before such AI tools, students indeed relied more on traditional methods of learning and collaboration: texting classmates, forming study groups, attending office hours, and seeking tutoring. These methods not only provided academic support but also fostered important social skills and a sense of community among students. With the emergence of AI tools like ChatGPT, students can access instant, personalized assistance, which can enhance understanding of complex concepts. However, if these tools are used excessively or as a sole resource, there's a potential risk of reduced interpersonal interactions and collaboration, which are crucial for developing social skills and professional networks. It's important to find a balance. AI tools can be a valuable part of the learning process, enhancing self-directed study and supplementing traditional learning methods. However, they should not completely replace the collaborative and social aspects of education. Encouraging a blend of AI-assisted learning and traditional collaborative methods can help maintain this balance, ensuring that students develop both technical skills and social competencies.

@Shrooms_Alvarez I'm pretty sure Vivec is on this forum.

meditation comes with a lot of practical benefits that do not come from psychedelics. psychedelics are unmatched in terms of awakening. paying close attention to life and what it's trying to teach you is also very important.

it would be a meaningless distinction if you had something more serious, like cancer.

if you decide to do this I would recommend having some trazadone on deck , it'll end the trip.

no, people who don't feel pain have a seriously dysfunctional nervous system and are usually don't live past childhood.

Okay. Which means awakening has nothing to do with suffering.

if Jesus didn't feel pain why would he cry out "Father, why have you forsaken me?" It's just a crazy standard, really, to believe that you can transcend all suffering. That's not awakening...

my 200ug trip could be your 1,000ug trip. you just don't know how sensitive your brain is. personally I don't want to go near that because it would be unimaginably intense... 300 was already more than enough.

Goofy as heck, but this kid has courage.
