You are already brainwashed by Russian culture. There is no way arround social brainwashing for the first solid 16 years of your life. If anything, getting in contact with other culture reflects your own cultural brainwashing as well as the brainwashing from the new culture. Language is an extremely deep topic and the way it interconnects with sociology and what I call "the tribe personality of a nation" is fascinating. Exactly the opposite. You will learn different ways of thinking, behaving and looking at the world. Each language is an emergent phenomenon of a group of people. I'm not pulling this out of my ass but from actual experience. I'm fluent in 5 languages and I've had the luck to study and live in different countries as I was growing up. Few things have been so life transforming as learning languages and getting to know different cultures. It's really rewarding, I encourage you to keep learning Arab and getting to know the culture. It's actually very beautiful when you really immerse yourself in it as an insider and not as a tourist. Luckily you have family and that's a great motivation for learning Arabic! To the extent to which you are not able to contrast it by exposure to another culture. We are fish in water in our mother tongue and culture (till we get outside of it and cognise the world through a radically new language and culture) we cannot see in what ways we have been brainwashed. By this process you will become mature and more intelligent, new brain connections are made and actually new insights flourish as each language presents a unique thought corrent and words that are exclusive to it. If a word doesn't exist in your language, there is no way for you to point to that aspect of reality. I actually struggle a lot with this as I want to communciate concepts that are from other languages through a system that didn't emerge with that need of communication.

I'm sure logicians are one of the professions that less get laid

That's real tough. Sigh...

Existence=Consciousness

I was thinking that you on the other hand usually get the bigger picture right but sometimes become imprecise in the narrow details. It's better to get the big picture right, but be also more eager to polish the technicalities for higher holism in your thinking. I'm not trying to school you or anything but I wanted to give you this feedback. I know you are aware of it already but I invite you to give it another thought: how not being detailed-accurate is skewing my understanding of Reality? I'm an abstract big picture thinker and lately I'm trying to polish the detail sharpness inside my macroscopic mind-view.

I have become aware that the reason why I struggle so much to pass my exams is not because I procrastinate or I lack discipline but most essentially because I don't enjoy it. It feels tedious and is not my calling. I know the ease of studying and understanding deeply what you most love. As a matter of fact, I was surprised to pass with honours my only subject on philosophy in my engineering degrees. Learning about my inner psychology is deeply fascinating to me, I'm like a sponge absorbing information, generating insights and flowing in the moment. I'm also very passionate about languages and even without being in the top, it's something I really enjoy doing. In addition, Martial Arts play a crucial role in my life and body. But engineering? I decided to take the double degree because when I was a kid I got fascinated by the idea of being a hacker. Such possibility fascinated me, cracking through technology by intelligence, it amazed me. Nonetheless, that dream was long once forgotten and I kept going with the flow my whole life just assuming engineering would be my major and career. I'm consider myself a jack of many trades and I get how difficult it can be to master one and live only out of that, leaving behind all others. The point is I do like more other trades right now and that makes my current situation hard. I'm really looking forward to finish next year and start my life. I'm unsure what do and many paths are open. But I have some kind of dream right now. 10+years of personal development and providing coaching, making an impact in the world. Transitioning to full time God-Realization. That's something I would wake up every morning for.

Brindavan in this context means heaven. Leela means play or game, the divine play of existence itself. Now take a deep breath 🫁 and enjoy:

Here are some tips for anyone who is considering to use weed via smoking ROA and how to reduce the harm associated with this. Smoking IS bad for your health, so if you are gonna do it anyway, make it as healthy as possible. Use charcoal activated filters. Here you have a list of the different available options. Charcoal filters are a revolution. Do not blend with tobacco, there are many other smokable plants that offer great alternatives. I use marshmallow leaf that has medicinal properties to help with lung inflamation. Here you can see many other options that will give your smoking experience a new vibe. Smoke calmly and at least 3 normal breaths to 1 smoke puff ratio. Inhaling the smoke via nose ( open your mouth and inhale with your nose) can filter more impurities and help distribute the stress between mouth to nose. Advanced tip: Brushing your teeth AFTER smoking is extremely negative for your health, as toxic chemicals enter deeper into the gums with the brush. It's recommended to brush your teeth always before smoking otherwise wait at least 30min to brush your teeth after smoking. Do you have any other cool tips? Please share it down bellow

lmao, this opened my eyes. Thanks for sharing Yimpa

Try it out. When was the last time you did one? Please post more pranayamas. I benefit from them a lot. For a 10min investment everyday you get a lot of benefits out of it.

The enormous challenge that self-referentiality poses to all systems

It's a symbol, the symbol is less intuitive for you but it points to the same things as the number 1, it's just another form of it

This sentence is false

It's very simple in fact. The problem is the symbology that trips people up. There is only one case in nature where we can have x^0 and that is when we have a number divided by itself. Let me do an example: x/x = 1 x^2= x*x (x*x) ÷ (x*x) = 1 (x^2) ÷ (x^2) = x^(2-2) = x^(0)=1 So what happens is that we have 2 symbols pointing to the same thing, which causes this confusion. There's nothing esoteric about this.

I don't know why but I like it

In this video he outlines 30 distinct Awakenings: It's one of my old time favourites

@integral I find it very interesting what he's doing. He made his life purpouse trying to push the age limit as far as possible. It always piques my curiosity how different this man lives, eats and does its own thing.

Yes, that's what my intuition was telling me actually happened. Ken tried it a few times but didn't find it appealing. Thanks for sharing. We're closer to truth now.

Because it's to femenine for your way of doing spirituality and it doesn't resonate. You can't let go and lose yourself, singing, dancing and being feely and vulnerable. Take into account that singing and dancing as a spiritual practice is as old as it gets and there are also very masculine spiritual chantings, like tantric, shamanic drumming and african men initiations. However, as time has unfolded the femenine feels a more natural calling to sing and pray for connecting with the divine.

You are getting creative with your examples lately

@shree I've also experienced Christ and Buddha Consciousness on LSD. I haven't done LSD in a while as I've been more on 5meos this year. However I have to say that my trips are different to yours, it's hard for me to resonate with the way you operate in a psychedelic state. Although the insights and awakenings seem legit.
