I think Trump was actually great for Europe. It showed that we can't rely on the US for safety etc. and we need to grow up and handle our own shit. Also many people in Europe see the US's role as superpower and world police, starting wars etc. very critical and that was long before Trump. The country still has the death penalty etc. all those things have nothing to do with Trump.

Do you tell yourself? I am (a classic of course) What is my relationship with the present moment? (Have this one from Eckhart Tolle) One that i've used since a few days is, just being curious about my thoughts and feelings and wonder "What is my next thought going to be?" (Another one from good old Eckhart)

I won't be one of the first people to get the vaccine that's for sure I'll wait and see

?

That's petty nice, so then do you try to find an answer or do you just become present and watch/observe which feelings come up etc.

Yea i would write the same thing in a religious book, so that people don't "ask for new miracles" and just accept it as gospel.

^^cool, good post thanks. How/which resources did you use to learn about design?

yea i said enlightened on such a level such a level meaning dream level bending jesus abilities

Best thing would be if you can talk to people on their level and actually enjoy it imo. Or if you see that a friend might have some interest in going deeper you could help them. And it's not about being fake for other people, everything is relative and life is a game anyways.

thanks some good suggestions i'll check these out i read a book on inner child work, but i didn't really do the exercises etc. which sources did you use?

which things do you like to study?

Thank you I also didn't say i'll never be enlightened at all, just not the bible jesus dream bending neo level

Obviously, i said the same thing in a previous post. I think Trump and politics are such a good exercise to practice spirituality/love etc. It doesn't mean to just stick your head in the sand but if you get triggered all the time then your ego is still very big. And i'm not saying that from a higher than thou perspective, i do sometimes get triggered by youtube comments even etc.

yea that would be a very smart choice sounds very dry for me personally though.

dude i'm not an american so i don't really have a dog in this fight. biden would probably be a bit better for the environment yea, but it's mostly the lobbies which are the problem. i just find it funny how people on this forum are like"we're all one" "love is the answer" but trump is the woooorst and he's responsible for the covid deaths etc etc.

isn't "want" the ego?

i'm actually not even really sure if i asked myself but an answer appeared and i'll take it

so why did you ask me if i asked myself?

you asked me if i asked myself that and i said yes i did and got an answer.

yup depends how you define enlightenment and at which level if you think there are different levels to this. and if it's possible to totally let go of concepts why are there not more bible jesus level entities showing us the way i mean eckhart tolle sitting in a room and talking (and remaining in stillness) seems a bit dull compared to walking on water

and according to worldometers recently europe us yesterday 200K+ cases 80K+ cases 2 days ago. 210K+ cases 75K+ cases

i'm not enlightened and don't think i'll ever be enlightened on such a level, i don't think it's even really possible as i've never seen it with my own eyes.

yea places like russia, ukraine, germany, eastern europe have low amounts of deaths especially. but western europe and countries like the uk, spain, italy, france, belgium, netherlands, sweden are high. cases per capita puts the us on the twelfth spot which is very high as only some of the smaller countries are higher like belgium, israel etc. but many countries also count much less than the us, which is a tump talking point but is also somewhat true

oh yea the forest is great. also the floor isn't as hard which is better for the knees and lots of oxygen because of the trees. it's pretty steep sometimes though.

let's say consciousness "enjoys" (for the lack of a better word) to experience itself from different perspectives/angles. wouldn't manipulating the dream be another experience which would be "enjoyed"
