I found part 3 to be particularly interesting where it is claimed that it is impossible to seize the day. https://bigthink.com/thinking/the-3-myths-of-mindfulness/

I like Rupert's idea on three ways of approaching reality and seeing love through thought, feeling, and perception. Also, the idea of finding peace in the background of experience.

@eputkonen What specifically do you find to be misunderstanding?

I've tried this before with positive results. Job fairs are also an option, but the best method for finding work ASAP is through agencies. I've seen hundreds of people find work this way.

Apply at a "temp agency" or "employment agency". They will offer you work. Try a job they offer you. If you like it keep doing it. If not they will find you something else. Be sure to communicate with the agency about what you like/dislike.

@LSD-Rumi I was testing you and you passed. In order to know what something is you must know what something is not. This is not a pipe. This is not a great art.

The actions of the terrorist insurrectionists on January 6th were despicable, deadly, unjustifiable, and traumatizing to all of the police and officials in the Capitol. Officials lives were seriously threatened. Seven lives were lost in the event and dozens more injured. The event left a permanent ugly stain on US History. The insurrectionists got what they deserved.

Are you saying that if you asked me what stage I was at and I said tier 3, and then I said some cliche things that I read in a book about tier 3, then you would consider me to be tier 3? I'm more on the side of - you have to walk the talk in order to be at a certain stage but I can see some truth to what you are saying.

@How to be wise determining SD level should be done based on the person's actions on average more than words. I can say that things must be done to improve the environment but if I drive around in a Hummer all day chopping down trees is this stage green? The traits you described define stages orange through yellow, but was that his behavior or just words?

(Laughter) I was thinking the same thing. That jacket is a bit Joker-esque.

@Schizophonia here is another one I had found. How do we interpret this? One thought is that it is biblical, the great flood.

@VictorB02 not sure what you're referring to exactly.

They use trickle down which doesn't work for the country as a whole. It is a scam for the rich.

Good answer

@jdc7733 how would you know if you had the correct answer? I don't think you can know this by somebody telling you. I think you have to find out first hand. And how would you do that? It would be more self empowering to believe that effort was not an illusion. How would knowing or believing that effort was an illusion change your life?
