  1. A Caveat About Corruption I had a think about this and how it branches out to reality. Integrity in existential realms as a reflection of consciousness. Lets have a construction analogy shall we? You know when you walk down the concrete footpath? Have you ever looked at how it is formed? There are lines running at fairly regular intervals (see below). These are called control joints in construction terms. We use them everywhere as a way to work with the integrity (that word again) of materials. The saying is 'if its concrete - it cracks'. These control joints are there as a way to mitigate the damage done when using concrete as a material. We are essentially working with the material we have to make it more effective over its lifetime. We KNOW this material will crack - the joint is there so when it cracks, it will crack long the joint. The flaw will be contained in a controlled manner. If you look closely at your sidewalk, you will probably notice these cracks within the joint. They prevent the slab of the concrete from cracking in ways that destroy its structural integrity (which could cause damage below to irrigation, services being hit, becoming a trip hazard etc). Think of your own integrity now - honesty. Where you have to make compromises in life to achieve certain ends. You work with what you have at the time, and do your best to be honest, authentic and true in your dealings. Sometimes you might have to intelligently place a 'control joint' in your integrity (your concrete) - a way to acknowledge you must compromise truth to achieve some end. By intelligently placing these control joints, you can minimise the structural damage to your integrity as a person as you move through reality. You are aware of where you have placed these joints. You will find as you progress up through life - all matters that don't mean anything will fall away. You empty. As you do so you refine the material you are made of. You hammer the structure to be stronger. The loosely scattered bonds of carbon in the coal become orderly. Like that of a diamond. A lattice of carbon atoms - strong - effective - functional. Pure. But in the meantime, if you got concrete, work with it. Lay the control joints while you refine the way to the diamond within. But be aware of where you are placing them, and be intentional and thoughtful. Like an engineer would be when designing the sidewalk. Engineer your life. There you go that's my existential crisis while walking to work, thanks for that LEO
  2. I think Lue Elizondo is a corrupt arse government psyop agent - but this interview below was enjoyable/interesting. Really curious when they bring up Jim Ryder - Vice President at Lockheed Martin https://www.linkedin.com/in/jim-ryder-a243a910/ In a talk he did available on Youtube, he speaks about love, consciousness... no separation, illusion of 'otherness'. God as formless essence. Love as a higher order power. Interesting you have the vice president of Lockheed Martin speaking on these topics. I believe he is involved with their Skunk Works division. For anyone who doesn't know - the Skunk Works division is Lockheed Martins advanced aircraft aerospace engineering branch. @CARDOZZO - you might like this
  3. I can't stop laughing 😜 I'm sure he will try! Otherwise he can tap into consciousness and channel to somone to complete it - a la Bashar or the Ra material
  4. I think the sentiment behind the communication was that the forum is good for information, concepts and ideas. But ultimately spirituality and the truth is one's own internal practice. Away from the forum is where the work is. Great place to learn, but without genuine self insight and practice nothing is being verified. Further to this, often the debates devolve into ego battles, rather than genuine attempts to resolve understanding. Sort of working in the opposite direction 🙃 I could be wrong in my interpretation of @CARDOZZO here.
  5. @Schizophonia Do you genuinely mean submissive - or receptive? There is a difference between the two, assuredly I see many users here - and individuals in the world at large - claim submissive as a feminine quality. I experience this embodiment as receptiveness. Openness. As opposed to submissive. This has been my experience in mature relationships, free of powerplay dynamics, due to a foundation of honesty. Just my 2c 🙃

  7. Do you want me to elaborate on feminine expression in general or my actual experience of my femininity as an embodiment? I am happy to answer either !
  8. Good points. People are like electrons - path of least resistance.
  9. RIP Sabbath and Zeppelin were huge for me as a tadpole. Best gentle serene Sabbath song:
  10. I feel attacked.... yep aussie >.< My advice is: trust your gut and don't be afraid to push back. Supers, project managers and even clients will push you to ignore safety to meet a deadline. It happens every day. The building industry is corrupt on many levels - flouting safety is common. And sad.
  11. @Mada_ Wow, yeah. Ok. HELL YEAH Do it. I work in construction - so we subcontract out to the services trades. You can pursue consciousness work and creativity while also doing a trade. In fact - if you grasp the right insights into the material reality of what you are doing correctly, you will find overlap with electrical manual work, creativity and truth. In the field you will always have plans issued from consultants, but there are many ways to creatively find solutions given constraints. Many ways to skin a cat, is the saying I would highly recommend aiming for commercial work. Domestic work is fraught with shitfights and clients withholding pay. They have you by the balls. Commercial can be slow to pay - but they always cough up. Even better if you can get your foot in the door with state/federal work. Most of what you learn will be A/C I suspect. DC definitely for data - but you probably have a good grasp of DC already if you are musical. You sort of have to with any electric work + music. Custom pedals for guitars, amps etc. I've repaired a few! I used to work in an electronics store, so I love all electrical stuff within my work. I've even designed some performance solutions for hospitals based on what I have picked up (obviously consultants and BS pass this, but it was my design and proposal). Good luck with the Ralston course. I am green with envy!
  12. I take huge issue with the beauty industry and what it sells women as a whole. I find it disgusting. It embeds the belief one IS their body. It encourages attachment to the self. This really does a number on women's psychology - society teaches them to reduce themselves. They aren't whole. Preys on vulnerability to sell them something they do not need. And unfortunately, the ingrained desire to 'fit in' due to survival mechanisms is actually being leveraged and used against them. The perpetual use of fillers and botox make it a new normal. Anyone that doesn't conform is viewed as having something wrong with them. Weaponizing vulnerability to make money. All of it is about non-acceptance of what IS. Reject the self in pursuit of another, better self. Having said the above - it is the mentality behind it I dislike. Because as a woman myself, I partake in beauty regimens. I enjoy them for the creativity they afford me. So I must be very aware of where I am engaging in a process that is negatively impacting me. Most of these pursuits I engage in for me, as I do not appear normal to others. Conforming is not the intent (for myself). I was raised by an artist and this mentality is baked into me. He encouraged 'self decoration' as a creative way to express myself. But I still need to regularly question my motives. Lucky I place much more importance on other aspects of being and have very little attachment to my physical self (comparatively speaking). I focus on mastery of reality through skills and sovereignty. Thanks for the shares
  13. If this possibility exists - all this tech would be with the defence contractors and be compartmentalised into oblivion. Lockheed, General Electric, Northrop, RTX etc The government wouldn't have the capacity to keep such a thing secret. We do this in construction - subcontract out to multiple fabricators, and find unique ways to apply carpentry via the site supervisors for a cost effective and hardy solution. The alternative being, have one subcontractor perform the service/fabrication in its entirety (lower quality control, higher cost). This way I can reduce costs and win more contracts with the client due to the secretive methods we use. Sometimes this method is used when we are constructing something unique for the government that requires sensitivity. tapping out now cos conspiracy theory stick coming >.<
  14. @meta_male Apologies for the confusing phrasing there - the condescending statement is in reference to the age question. As often this gives a good idea of what stage you are moving through in life (in this instance, regarding socialisation). My intention was to ask the question and not use age against the user (if they so wish to answer). The ignorance part - more my attempt to illuminate there may be some issues going on. No ill intention or negative judgement from me
  15. @enchanted Important to recognise raw experience is not inherently traumatizing. It is the internalised narrative that results from the experience that causes direct damage to the nervous system. The brain is linked to the bodies nervous system. You experience something > mind/brain generates a narrative > trauma is done to the nervous system. Due to the link between the brains nerves and bodies nerves, often trauma is stored in the body. Like a habitual reflex of action. Yoga is often used to release this nervous system trauma. Think of it like a malfunctioning reflex system. Individuals who cannot resolve responsibility within the mental narrative, often has success through using the body to undo trauma.
  16. @chess_king give it time 😈💀 @Carl-Richard hell yes MOVE the body. Goddamn use it or lose it I expect a rap on vitamin D good sir (⁠/⁠¯⁠◡⁠ ⁠‿⁠ ⁠◡⁠)⁠/⁠¯⁠ ⁠~⁠ ⁠┻⁠━⁠┻
  17. Flip male for female in the above statement and it still stands. Really try to contemplate that. This is a really reductionist frame that is limiting you. That you believe this (you believe it, it's not direct truth, it's parroting) is placing this artificial limit. And it's going to apply to much more of your internal state and personality than just this aspect.
  18. Not meaning to be condescending but how old are you all? I am quite introverted and not social at all. Believe it or not, it could be a possibility those who prefer solitude now have had a full and rich social life when younger. Personally I have had that experience - and now am diving into something new alone. Half of you wouldn't believe how much social life I have had. You can't possibly understand life's growth stages until you get there. No amount of intellectualism is going to bring the same understanding as lived experience. Lots of ignorance in this thread. Lots of hearsay and beliefs.
  19. Engineering the future Really the younger folks here - you can do it. Every pioneer that exists today started somewhere. There are no failures, just learning opportunities.
  20. I love listening to people send themselves into recursive loops of fear around current LLMs achieving AGI.
  21. @Miguel1 Thank you Sad to say I have learned from experience. I have been an Absolute piece of shit in the past. But that person is gone now hay - doesn't exist. Only a long forgotten memory Only the lessons learned remain.
  22. I could be wrong here - regarding sex vs truth. When you want something - anything in life - you are more willing to present a falsehood to obtain it. You lie when you want something. Usually in service to the ego/self/survival. The lies could be about anything. And when you lie - you are destroying your own integrity. You pollute your experience. Your way of viewing it as an energy exchange is similar - but reducing it down to its constituents - its lies to obtain something. Truth out the door. You always forsake truth for your own personal gain. This business of lying for personal gain weakens you. You aren't as effective in the world. Which isn't a moral matter, it is existential. This property is found all around us in material reality. You think you get away with this - but you don't. You don't see the consequences. But they are there. They show up. And being highly conscious will mean you feel the ramifications more than someone who is of a lower consciousness level. You are 'conscious' of the lies effect on your experience of reality. Most people cannot detect and feel this. They are too low consciousness. You become so conscious lying is anathema to your very existence.
  23. Personally, romantic relations/sex were the best waya to reveal the spiralling depths to how I was self deceived. They have this way of digging up all the internal parts that aren't coherent. NGL I was busted as fuck in that arena until 4-5 years ago. I healed the most from broken relationships. Revealing the unconscious levels of deception there was the calling that pushed me to look into other areas of existence I was engaging in falsehood
