I meant follow your intuition. For example, try running today and see how it feels and maybe compare it to regular meditation. And when tomorrow comes, see if your body wants you to run or sit, and then decide. Who knows? You might get enlightened today after the running session, and then you won't need to run for the next 29 days. Or you simply might have sore muscles and sitting meditation will then be optimal. I say it's your life. So, live it day by day, or better yet, moment by moment if it's possible. After all, what's the point of 30 days? Why not 31 days or 29 days? If it's all made-up, then why should it have any authority over your life? Why choose a plan over intuition? Which one knows and will guide you better?

Live in the now, not in the next 30 days.

Coincidence? I don't think so.

She was sexy, until I saw her. Just like Sia. And unlike in real life, where women seem sexy, until they open their mouths.

Love yourself.

It's normal. You've simply grown past the usability of these models, because now you know yourself more intimately and accurately than the information they provide. You are realizing your infinite nature, and your full potential is beginning to come to light. Trust yourself, Raphael. You're doing great.

The difference between Westerners and Indians is the difference between Batman and Superman on a small dose of Kryptonite. The difference between Indians and Arabs is the difference between Batman and Superman on a moderate dose of Kryptonite. The difference between Arabs and Middle-Easterners is the difference between Batman and Superman on a lot of Kryptonite. The difference between Middle-Easterners and Syrians is the difference between Batman and the Joker. I'm not siding with Batman. It just happens that the motherfucker is born rich, technologically advanced, and doesn't have a weakness point.

Identification is necessary to ground us in reality. Otherwise, we'd all be insane, and this communication would not be possible. But it's not like we're either 100% rigid or 100% fluid with our beliefs. Most people are fairly open-minded and can display a wiggle room and some fluidity with a lot of ideas as long as those ideas are not perceived a threat to their survival/identity on some level. We can consider this perception of threat a web of meta beliefs that operates behind the scenes underneath the conscious level. Where does that web of beliefs come from? I'm not sure. But probably it's in the nature of humans. A normal human being probably can't survive without somehow forming beliefs about reality. But these webs develop and become more nuanced and complex with experience and reflection. Now, how much of those beliefs are conscious and how much are unconscious? That's the important question, because the answer dictates everything. The more conscious you are, the more easily you can see with clarity and navigate through those webs of beliefs, you will be proactive and in a powerful position. And the less conscious you are, the more you will be in an emotionally reactive state, or maybe a passive state in some cases depending on the kind of beliefs you may have. But it's not always clear whether a person is actually acting from a highly conscious place or otherwise.. Because a highly conscious person might sometimes need to use what might look like an emotionally reactive response in order to be effective. As well, a low consciousness person might try to mimic highly conscious behaviors by acting cool or passive. So, it's not necessarily correct to associate certain appearances with levels of consciousness. In that light, it's not necessarily correct to associate fluidity of opinions with high consciousness. That's a trap you want to avoid. In terms of Spiral Dynamics, a stage Green hippy is not necessarily highly conscious, even though they might display what might look like high consciousness by being super accepting and fluid. A truly highly conscious person understands the subtle nuance here and is not limited to a certain way of thinking or talking or behaving. In other words, identifying strongly with opinions is not necessarily bad, and identifying less strongly is not necessarily better, nor is it the most conscious thing to do. In fact, in a lot of cases, it's low consciousness mimicking high consciousness behavior.

I don't necessarily agree with the perspective provided in the video, but I'd found it interesting and worth entertaining.

?

Nope.

A thought.

Her voice is so sexy!

Iconic.

@Proserpina If I said that, then why would I ask you about his YouTube channel?

Ah now I understand. Thank you for clarifying. Immense wisdom. +20 pts; Revenge

I don't recall saying that. Ergo, I don't think I'm Leo.

@Proserpina What did I say?

Lol.

The only thing I got from this thread is that you bought Leo's booklist.
