  1. It’s a weird thing. Where does it come from? Partly social conditioning probably. But it’s odd. I‘ve often heard people say stuff like „drop importance“ which seems like it would be great if it was possible but almost impossible. Importance can drop by itself.
  2. I mean you can call this direct immediacy God. No problem. But i don’t think you‘ll ever really know anything about god. Knowledge doesn’t really help you here imo. It kind of hinders.
  3. Imagine they fight for another 30 years for that piece of land. And then it just becomes unliveable because of climate change and everyone has to leave.
  4. Gpt The Middle East is one of the regions most at risk from the impacts of global warming, and parts of it may become increasingly difficult — or even unliveable — for humans during certain times of the year if current trends continue. Here’s a clear, evidence-based breakdown of what’s happening and what might happen: 🌡️ 1. Extreme Heat and Humidity Studies have projected that “wet-bulb temperatures” — a measure combining heat and humidity — could exceed survivable levels in parts of the Middle East by the end of the century if emissions remain high. A wet-bulb temperature of 35°C (95°F) is considered the upper limit for human survival over a few hours even in shade with unlimited water. Cities like Abu Dhabi, Doha, and Bandar Abbas could experience brief periods of deadly heat as early as 2050. Sources: Pal & Eltahir (MIT, Nature Climate Change, 2015) IPCC 6th Assessment Report (2021–2022) 💧 2. Water Scarcity The region already faces severe water stress. Warming is making rainfall less predictable and increasing evaporation rates. Aquifers are depleting, and desalination — although widely used — is energy intensive and vulnerable to disruptions. The Tigris and Euphrates basins (Iraq, Syria) are under threat from both climate change and political conflict over water. 🔥 3. Urban Heat Island Effect Cities in the Gulf (like Dubai, Riyadh, and Kuwait City) experience amplified heat due to urban design (concrete, glass, lack of shade). Nighttime temperatures may no longer drop low enough for the human body to cool down, increasing health risks even more. 👥 4. Vulnerable Populations Outdoor workers, especially migrant laborers, are among the most vulnerable. Millions live in poor housing without reliable air conditioning. Energy infrastructure under strain could make AC inaccessible during peak heatwaves. 🚨 5. Not Entirely Uninhabitable — But Extremely Challenging While the Middle East likely won’t become entirely uninhabitable this century, major cities may become unlivable for extended periods during extreme heat events. Long-term adaptation (urban redesign, green tech, cooling systems) will be essential, but there are limits to adaptation, especially in poorer or conflict-prone areas. 🧭 Outlook Depends on Action Emissions Path Likely Outcome Business-as-usual (high emissions) Deadly heatwaves multiple times per year by 2100 Moderate mitigation (Paris goals) Serious impacts, but more manageable with adaptation Aggressive climate action Risks significantly reduced, livability preserved in most areas 🧠 Bottom Line: Yes, parts of the Middle East may become temporarily unliveable due to climate change by mid-to-late century — particularly due to extreme heat and humidity. But whether it becomes permanently uninhabitable depends on global and regional responses over the next 20–30 years. Would you like a map or breakdown of which countries or cities are most at risk?
  5. So at some point we build a lot of protection mechanisms out of the belief that we have to protect ourselves. Protecion mechanisms could be anger, victim mentality, drugs, having the last word, narcissism, acting a certain way - it’s endless But what are they trying protect? The self? It doesn’t really exist it’s just a narrative. The body? Then it’s doing a bad job because a lot of protection mechanisms seemingly harm the body. Maybe it’s trying to protect a narrative which was probably wrong and unfree from early on.
  6. I think it’s unknowable, you will never know it because there is no you to know anything really. Everything that you can come up with is part of the dream.
  7. There’s no you imo. So that kind of makes solipsism no bueno.
  8. I‘m right now in Rome with 30C 40? No thanks. Then Europe, Russia, Canada will become very attractive again.
  9. Won’t most of the Gulf, Saudi and a lot of the global south basically be unliveable in a while because of global warming etc.
  10. For sure i think also a lot of the god stuff abd solipsism is delusional. Not that there’s no truth in it but the ego turns it to mostly delusions. I once thought i‘m turning ghey on weed.
  11. For sure. I live in a Western European country (one which didn’t have colonies) When my mother went to school there were just local people. When i went to school one generation later there were already barely people who’s parent were from here. For a while i was the only one in class who had one if their parents from this country. A lot of refugees from the Balkans and Sri Lanka abd so on.
  12. So you think they should vote for right wing extremists and kick these immigrants out?
  13. It’s funny you know yesterday i felt that one of my core limiting beliefs is that i feel i don’t deserve to be loved and so on. And then i was sad. But i couldn’t cry. But i guess i can just feel the sadness. And i know from a non dual perspective it’s an illusion. There is isn’t a seperate self which doesn’t deserve to be loved it’s a narrative. But it’s very early and seemingly stored in the body.

  15. It sucks. This war in Israel that is supposed to keep Jews safe. Is probably kind of making them less safe in many places.
  16. Which is mostly a narrative and protection mechanisms.
  17. So seemingly there is just what is. But at some point we developed resistance. Probably because of survival. It feels like a energetic contraction in the body. Or thoughts about what is. Tolle or Ram Dass once told this story. Some people are working all year. They don’t enjoy their work. They are waiting for their two weeks of vacation where they are at the beach sipping a margarita. Then on vacation there is other stuff that annoys them like local stuff that’s different than at home. So they have resistance to work life and then also when they have their long due vacation. Resistance is basically a No to what is. Something, someone or self should be different. It‘s tied to time, self, control, other. Any good practices?
  18. Hey i also have an Idea. China should just promise to never take Taiwan nor bully or attack Japan. Then the US could close its bases in the pacific. Murderers should just promise to be good from now on. Then we could let them out of the jail and safe money. Pedophiles should just promise to keep themselves under control. Problem solved. Companies should just promise to not cheat and not sell unhealthy products or whatever. So then we can close down product testing etc and safe money. You get the gist it’s a win win.
  19. The eternal city
  20. Yesterday i was there.
  21. So only black guys can flirt with black women and white guys with white women? And tall guys with tall women? Is this the 1930s? 🦭
  22. I feel you boi. I‘m also kind of over psychedelics at the moment. They are exhausting and scary imo. But i just really enjoy nonduality and disentangling from beliefs right now.
