  1. Again I seem to come to a similiar conclusion: But maybe its not about just healing, I think I had a bias towards it because I needed healing myself. But coming in contact with the existential is beautiful in its own way although a side effect can be healing. I think I am very good at finding truth/ an authentic voice and I am naturally very creative and abstract thinking. This renewed articulation seems more true to me now as it comes less from a sense of lack. > Conveying existential truths in abstract artistical ways to make people more conscious.
  2. I did an internship with people with handycap years ago. What I realized there, was that I could be pretty emphatic but the goal of this place was simply to help these people go about their day so they dont suffer to much and have some enjoyment. But that was it. And its really not like this is nothing. But it wasnt for me.. In the same way I am not sure if I want to be a social worker helping people just go about their day. If I can I would rather want to guide them towards something higher, help them heal in a deeper way, or create something extremely beautiful.
  3. Acting just doesnt leave me. And the theatre itself also not, it just gives so many possibilites to express in an over the top adhd style. Well I dont have to become a professional actor to have it in my life, but when I do it with non-professionals you just dont come to the same quality. At least the impro theatre group I am in is so far away from actually doing acting, like none of them try or might even think that it is possible to make things seem authentic.
  4. So I have had another informational talk for changing my degrees today. Turn out when I take education as my prime degree over philosophie in my doubles bachelor degree then I can make my bachelors degree about a certain other field I like. But while I was doing this talk I constantly thought to myself that I would rather either be a real psychologist or an artist, like I just want to create something. But if I want an easy degree that gives me some options this bachelor would be it. And I can practice at home learning animation if I really want to. But then again, acting just seems so cool. But it might interfere with my emotional well-being and spirituality. But I constantly mix acting with the club which I was in which was bad for my mental health. Maybe in another club it would be different.
  5. On average I think this would improve the section a ton. I personally would feel much more comfortable posting in this section then and I imagine others members feel the same. But there are probably some cases where this wouldnt be good. For example when you are an artist, maybe you want guests to view your art as well. Thats why having the option to turn it public or not would be good, or maybe two sections, one private one public could work as well. But thats just my opinion, we could make a poll!
  6. I would like the Self-actualization-journals-section to be reworked. For threads you need: 1) Ability to turn members commenting in the journal on and off, bonus if you can invite certain people to be allowed to comment in the journal (Sometimes its also unclear if you are allowed to comment in someones journal or not. This way there wouldnt be any confusion) 2) Ability to make the journal invisible to guests
  7. https://www.actualized.org/insights/actualized-quotes-272 I dont understand this quote -- maybe this dumb follow up question can help: Then how did Santa Claus never manifest? Millions of kids each year spent a ton of imaginative power into Santa Claus and yet Santa Claus doesnt seem to manifest.
  8. Yeah @Flowerfaeiry comes to mind. But Its been a while since I saw one of them online. So you are one of the few or only active female mod right now.
  9. Congrats! I also enjoy it that we have a female mod in charge now. I know we are above repressing women, but its nice to also see the "proof in the pudding".
  10. I enjoyed that documentary. Didnt know that crocs were smart.
  11. Just a detail, but I have to say that Hunter Bidens style is really on point. All the colors match perfectly. I wonder if he has a stylist or something, or if its because he needs to look presentable as the son of the president.
  12. Seminar done, in the end it became quite interesting. Traditional morality from Kant and Mill got slandered which was great. Unfortunately the girl I liked much was at work. I got into a weird situation. Yesterday a girl invited me to go to the baker in lunch break as we talked a lot. We worked together well and got along fine but I wasnt interested in her. Today I asked if goes to the baker again and she said that yeah but that she needs to learn. I didnt want to come off as needy so I went to another spot instead. I came back earlier and had a talk with another girl in the seminar and I changed my seat to talk to her more. This kind of created a bit of a subtle underlying vibe as 'seeing girls as replaceable'. In this case it was just by chance but I did notice how my unconscious ego tried to get something out of that dynamic.. If you learn to talk to a lot of girls because you worked yourself towards it, you will be tempted to abuse your position. If you never learned that, there is no power you could abuse.
  13. This seminar sucks a little right now, but generally I have to say, I am WAY WAY more emotionally stable and healthy then just a few months back.
  14. Took a 3 hour nap and my brain steel doenst feel at ease.
  15. My brain is absolutely cooked today. The seminar was from 9:15 to 17:00 with a one hour break in between but other then that NONSTOP PHILOSOPHY with lots of heavy reading. Thats just to much, especially for ADHD. My brain kind of feels violated and stupid. Other people left the seminar earlier as well because it was just to much. But the people at the seminar are cool. Kind of got friends with a girl there as we went to the baker together in the break. We could collaborate very well in the beginning which was great but she isnt really my type otherwise. There was also another girl which I had seen in other contexts but didnt really got to know her. She seems like an incredibly aware person with a ton of sensitivity, like we had a few interpersonal moments which squeaked so much, this sort of level is very rare. And she kind of does the same thing as me that she often just smiles at people who are near them to greet them, or in between and it doesnt really feel like flirting but its very heartwarming. Then there was a moment in the seminar near the end when the author talked about less developed moral systems in some tribes and how it seemed racist to talk down to them. And I just couldnt take it and made the point that there are certain theories about development like spiral dynamics which can explain why cultures may be less developed but that it explains that its not something intrinsic about the culture itself but rather circumstances like geography or history which give some cultures the edge to develop further then other cultures. That didnt really land and I just shut up. These people there are the most vibrant stage green you could find. They hate and have no tolerance for any sort of hierarchy, racism etc. and are relativists. It almost felt surreal, I literally had the manifestation of the stage green worldview right in front of me and I could explain the difference between stage green and stage yellow but I didnt really succeed in that before and I was already in a somewhat "risky" position to get along as the only men in the seminar that I didnt say anything. I am thinking of wearing typical stage green things tomorrow, I have got a colorful chain for example. Is this an conscious way of letting peer pressure corrupt me or a conscious one?
  16. I am not vegan anymore, I am vegetarian so protein is no issue for me and I do have some bias defending veganism in that matter but its not that big and I have had lots of experience in it. Performative people are everywhere.
  17. You can also cheat a little for comfort..
  18. 2400 kcal of peanut butter !
  19. Its factually not correct though. You can argue that it doesnt taste good, but that wasnt the argument. Although I would disagree there too, if you put some effort in: edit: Sorry, I didnt read it properly. Well then I would simply argue that with nice recipes you can also get there.
  20. Markkol made that claim in this thread not me.
  21. Not saying its the most sufficient way through plants, but most plants have decent amount of protein. For 100g of protein you need about: 1400 kcal of red lentils 3000 kcal of almonds 900 kcal of tofu 2900 kcal of oats
  22. Not that I definitely agree with Davino, but western science is a narrow way to look at the world.
