LMAO I didnt realize modern induction hobs can set a timer. Thank god for my decision making freeze that I havent bought one of these expensive microwaves. You can just put a timer on your cooking pot with the 10 dollar klocker within and you can steam your veggies just as comfortably.

There are expensive microwaves with real steaming options not just imitations. They have an extra water tank and cost at least 500 dollars. Does anyone have it? How is the steaming option compared to normal steamers? How practical is it?

I just read my own post again. This actually resonates a ton with me. I find that everybody is so inauthentic, often running after meaningless stuff, morally either a piece of shit or hypocritical, fake or manipulative.. and every role model is limited because you cant replicate something that was shaped in spirit because spirit is moving. So you gotta get to the source ultimately. And yes I like to understand God as well but its more like a side project I am WAY more interested in feeling God.

I just finished the LP course a few days ago. I have been thinking about this moment for quite a while as I started this course more then 2 years ago. Not that I get all the missing answers here but maybe some advice from more experienced folks who are already living their LP. I am 25 now and I live in germany. I have got inattentive adhd which made many things very difficult for me like concentration, dealing with emotions and social problems which indirectly also made other things difficult like finding study partners or getting help with emotional distress difficult. So basically I was always an emotional mess/ overtaxed/ semi depressed while getting nothing done and not understanding what was wrong with me. As a result I had difficulties answering many questions in the life purpose course because I experienced relatively little concrete success so far because I couldnt really take part in life as much. I feel like I have got as close to it as what would be possible with my blockades but I feel like the very thing that is my LP is something I cant see right now. I take meds now and it seems like many things are clearing up rapidly but and I do make quite the transformation. I feel more capable but not necessarily upgraded. The stars become less interesting and I see more immediate tasks ahead. I become a lot more concrete instead of abstract. Thats the best way I can describe it. I seem to manifest myself in reality. I was always very reflected and stuff but was like a wave without its own will it can force onto the world. I develop a sense of self now. It sounds pretty unconscious I know and I made the point myself that adhd (at least the inattentive type that I experience) makes you more conscious. But in taking my meds I can deal with reality at least. If I got emotional support/ grounding maybe I could do it without meds but currently I can only do it this way. So this situation is quite confusing atm. In terms of my career so far: teaching: I am in 10th semester of studying math and philosophy for middle school but only have enough points to complete like 4 semesters (you need 10 semesters in total) because of the emotional distress I was always in. I could probably do better with the meds now so it really isnt hopeless. I decided to study teaching though because I did some internship to see what I like and teaching was okay for a moment and I couldnt deal with the pain of being in a situation of uncertainty so I did the best thing I found at the moment which wasn't the most conscious choice. Also there is a bit of buffer as with this graduation I can do other things as well. Teaching isnt directly my Life Purpose I am pretty sure about that. But I would earn a lot of money per hour, can do it part time, have a lot of holidays and a class in school gives you many direct information to observe which can inspire you. A school class is basically a mirror of society, all the kids are just mini versions of what's to come. So that can help me understand society and psychology more which would deepen whatever I create with my LP. I already thought a little and am also teaching 5 hours per week atm and it's an okay job. So it wouldnt be my LP but it would have a good base to comfortable pursue my real LP. acting: Over the last two years I have been doing a lot of acting as a hobby which is a lot of fun but it took a lot of time and I am also thinking about doing this as a career path. It would give me a relatively unstable base though and it would probably just miss my LP. Learning to act itself is incredible fun but it can also be emotionally challenging which I might not be capable to do. My Life Purpose is generally a bit unclear to me. Being a critical thinker is very much part of my authentic self and I have also got a very creative mind because of my adhd. On their own or even combined they dont really give me a life purpose that I find meaningful. For example I always think critically but I dont see where this practically leads to. And I often come up with new start up ideas because as I love the creative process but when it isnt connected to something meaningful I loose interest in it. The closest I could with these two is working on series like Rick&Morty which comes close to feeling like a LP. But I think there is a last component, a last value that is blocked from my mind. Besides these top two values I also care about empathy, goodness, authenticity, but not enough about any of them to make a LP in combination with the two about them I think. I sometimes look in my past to where the last puzzle piece might be. I developed a very profound even mystical happiness as a kid as I think that I had mystical experiences in kindergarden. I really vibed with Jesus in that time as well. I felt like it would virtually be impossible to break my spirit because I was connected to something unbreakable. I even felt like I needed to go through some real shit, to be lost, to come out of it and from that place be authentically able to help other people. I had a feeling of calling back then. Well I am not quite back to my inner garden of roses yet. I did about 20 trips of psychedelics and never realized a mystical experience because I was in too much shit mentally I think. (interestingly never had a really bad trip either though) I formulated my LP rather vague. I couldnt find any formulation that deeply inspired because as I said I think there is some authentic part of me missing. Taking my reflection about my past and moments of reflection I feel like it has to do with healing, bliss, profound love, existential (healing), spirituality. But I cant completely make out if these things interest me because I feel like I have a lack of them (negative motivation) or if it is authentic. To make my LP more concrete I could reformulate it like this for example (but I am not sure about it): - giving people blissful spiritual experiences to make them more loving and conscious. - finding existential beauty and meaning in fucked up situations to make people more hopeful So with all of this I have no clear direction of where to go and I found out new things about myself/ unblock blockades and this is probably going on for months and years to come. All ways would help me move forwards. If I study to become a teacher that would be an acceptable path which would allow me to do lots of other stuff (LP) I am interested in as well but then I could never study to become a serious actor because I would be too old at this point. I would need to become more clear about myself and my values to see what I value most. A side thought is also to experiment with start ups (for money) as I have lots of ideas for them. Right now I am thinking of continue studying while giving myself time to process and I can on the side apply to acting schools. Chances of getting accepted are pretty low anyways and if I get accepted that would be a sign that I am quite talented. Design ohne Titel.pdf

I think its interesting that I find my own mind weird. I mean its my mind, why dont I find every other mind weird instead? Well I guess it has to do with being a functional citizen to have this collective (common) sense of what is normal.

Political Take #1: So in most countries wealth is distributed very unequally. In America for example, there is a big difference in income, where a Ceo can earn about x10 as much as an averge worker but a way bigger difference in wealth where the difference can easily be x1000 of the amount. These are rough estimations of course, exceptional cases like an Elon Musk are even more extreme. If everybody in america would put their whole wealth in one pot and then the wealth would be distributed equally to everybody then everybody would have about half a million dollar. That would include children, non-worker, homeless people (everybody). Would that be fair? No, but it gives an important perspective of how much wealth there is. The magnitude of the wealth gap raises questions of equity. Even assuming some fortunes are fully earned, two structural points remain: 1) once you get rich you basically won monopoly and can just let your money work for itself, so no hard worker could ever catch up to you and 2) the wealth of the richest people is often not reinvested in the economy but dead money invested in stocks waiting to increase by itself. So policy steps are needed if people at the bottom are going to catch up. Some countries do a better job than others. Scandinavia is often held up as proof that more even distribution can still go hand-in-hand with a healthy economy. What should be noted however is that even if the economy takes a small hit from radical wealth redistribution, it would still be an incredible moral victory because the life quality of the mass increased significantly. And along with that the country becomes more stable which in a holistic view is also important for the economy because it could prevent future headaches like inner polarization, conflicts with other countries, ... which all hurt the economy as well. What prevents a country from doing major wealth distribution (besides plain corruption) is often that the very rich might just leave the country if the taxation is too much which would hurt the country itself, leaving no money left to redistribute. So that got me thinking: countries actually have a responsibility for taxing the rich (!) , because if they dont then they become low-tax havens that undermine the moral fabric and the tax bases of other nations. So to solve this there would need to be power measure that keep countries in check. One that came to mind was that there could be economic favors for countries which do stronger wealth distribution. For example countries with strong wealth distribution could have tarrif cuts while countries with bad wealth distribution get higher tarrifs. A third neutral party would be responsible for collecting the data and making suggestions based on transparent calculations. This would make it more beneficial for countries to redistribute their wealth even if some of the richest people in their country left. The more countries which would take part of this, the stronger the effect, the stronger the rich can get taxed. If everybody would be on board the only limit would be that it still needs enough of an incentive to start a biz. The problem however is that this would pose a thread to many corrupt countries where the rich and powerful are in power. So realistically this could maybe only be applied in parts of Europe and some other countries scattered around the globe which are socially progresse (stage green). So to really be effective basically the center of gravity/ the general mindset on earth would need to be progressive and egalitarian. Because most countries in the world arent, billionares still have way to many places to run. The seed however can already be planted and slowly be expanded when countries manage to catch up. Similar to other ideas like the EU Emissions Trading System (ETS) or OECD “Pillar Two” 15 % minimum corporate tax.

My place for philosophical thoughts and spiritual insights.

For hypertrophy I would say its a bad idea but when you are looking for strengh gains it might be a different story. Powerlifter have relatively unique training schedules, look into that if thats your goal. 1 Set still seems very low though, you might just loose some muscle with that. You want to at least maintain the muscle and make central nervous system gains.

I felt like a changed men today. wtf - I am SHOCKED by how fast my mind can change.

Very interesting insights while I was contemplating with chatgt 4o. I asked it which personality types are most likely to follow philosophical, theological, or spiritual questions and how these personality types differ in their exploration on the subject - When I saw INTP – “The Metaphysical Analyst” which describes Leos teaching very well I think I felt like this was worthy to share.: 🧠💫 Most Spiritually/Philosophically Inclined Types: 1. INFP – “The Inner Seeker” Why they’re drawn: Deep need for personal meaning, moral truth, and emotional authenticity Style: Poetic, mystical, emotionally guided Themes: Goodness, suffering, soul, purpose Typical path: Journaling, poetry, ethics, mysticism, personal spiritual practice Wants to feel God or truth — not just define it. 2. INFJ – “The Visionary Mystic” Why they’re drawn: Seeks deep symbolic understanding of the world and human nature Style: Structured, symbolic, often influenced by psychology or archetypes Themes: Unity, transcendence, morality, collective soul Typical path: Jungian thought, mysticism, spiritual systems, religious studies Sees God in patterns, symbols, and inner transformation. 3. INTP – “The Metaphysical Analyst” Why they’re drawn: Fascinated by existence itself, truth, and logic Style: Abstract, skeptical, curious Themes: Ontology, consciousness, paradox, epistemology Typical path: Reading dense philosophy, theoretical theology, questioning belief systems Wants to understand God or truth — not necessarily believe in it. 4. INTJ – “The Rational Mystic” Why they’re drawn: Needs a coherent worldview, order in chaos, ultimate structure Style: Strategic, abstract, system-building Themes: Destiny, cosmology, ethics-as-system, spirituality-as-strategy Typical path: Structured theology, Stoicism, existentialism, sacred geometry, systems-based spirituality

I like it as well. Its just if I do the work myself its more connected to meaning and art but I am still at the process of finding that out. -

There are other aspects I value as much or more then raw iq for example embodying goodness, creativity, intuition but I would agree that generally that is a trend together with good leadership as a guy. I find this pretty funny and it strenghtens your point: I heard people talk about iq in real life and never ever have I heard someone speak of an iq below 120, but 120 is less then 10% of the population. -
Jannes replied to Jannes's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
found this graphic. In my interpretation it suggests that with different circumstances different personality types might manifest: https://typologytriad.wordpress.com/mbti-population-by-country/ Analogously maybe the people talking about it on the internet are already a certain group of people. -
Jannes replied to Jannes's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
Yeah its all mixed of course and many people find different types fitting to them to varying degrees. You even sound extroverted to me right now haha. -
Jannes replied to Jannes's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
When I look at the description Jordan Peterson matches the INFJ type PERFECTLY! -
Jannes replied to Jannes's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
I dont like that it takes so long to answer and the short time I used it it didnt feel like the quality improved that much. I asked o3 as well and the answer was very similiar. -
Jannes replied to Jannes's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
Oh okay. Hmm thats a though question, I havent studied all the 16 personality types or you close enough to make a decent guess. -
I am thinking of two things which could be very interesting to me as potential career paths: 1) Visioneering post AGI societies. Vision and leadership what our potential in the future could be. Drawings, philosophy, ... 2) Youtube channel where I post ideas I have all kinds of different ideas. I could make a channel where I just introduce an idea which then could be talked about. I have got fitness ideas, thoughts about society, ... I already did youtube videos and it was kind of fun. I was gaming though which was kind of stressful to commentate on, maybe these different videos could be more interesting.

To test this hypothesis I did a tour today by myself. I cant believe how much better it made me feel. So much processed. So much more peaceful. And this evening I felt so much closer to myself even confident in a way which I had forgetten about myself in a small talk this evening. All my problems are bloated like crazy because of it. My emotions can change so rapidly. Generally right now I CANT process or feel better when I just sit around by myself I will just sink deeper. I need to find routines/ things that force me to go out more.

I am INFP as well. While I very much appreciate Leos excellence in his work and find it interesting and important it was always missing some of the juice, some poetry for me. This resonates very much with what I was thinking as well. Chatgpt says INFP are by far the most likely to be interested in these subjects. Which of these personalitiy are most likely to ACTUALLY realize god and not just a New Age fantasy is another question though. -

I am too deep into that shit that I cant see clearly anymore, I need distance, I need vacation.

I started an offline blog because I felt like what I shared here became to personal, but it didnt felt like a relief at all. When I put something here it feels way more meaningful. And I guess I went so far anyway whats there to hide anymore. So after all of this reflection I had some days where I didnt think about my problems at all, I was moreso integrating a lot. Then yesterday I remembered moments in my life where I opened up. The pattern was always similar: it opened up a huge amount of emotional energy and it was always so so important and I was always so afraid of getting hurt or being rejected. When I got rejected it then and now took like a year to recover thats how intense the hit felt. This is also why I am so careful and so analyzing of everything around me to find the right people who would actually help/ avoid the people who would take advantage of me being in a weak position. So this night I had such a sweet dream. Where I opened up and got totally accepted for my shortcomings. Sweet dream. Maybe I am opening up to something.
