Your biggest bias is being an Intellectual. Imagine how your life would be without that bias, imagine pursuing truth without the intellect being the primary tool to achieve that aim. Imagine being born retarded but all the rest of yourself remains intact. A bias against in real life interactions with your community. A bias, skepticism and diminishing of very strong baseline states of consciousness and the serious pursue of them. Another one but orders of magnitude smaller is a bias towards health and medicine. This point is a bit tricky to deliver but you seem to have less poise, detachment and neutrality when discussing such topics. This is not on the truth of your positions themselves but an attitude. I'll keep brainstorming, this is an equally important exercise for me.

This will be a short post. I always found beauty in religious architecture from all traditions. I'm worried that moving forward humanity will not build places in devotion to God or for spirituality, I think this might be a mistake, places hold energy over the years and congregate people around a shared aim. Despite the shadows of such places, a world with no religious architecture in my opinion, will be a world with a hole. I hope in the future non-ideological temples are built in service of spirituality, not only digitally, but physically.

@Hello1 you seem to be doing all the right things. How was your relationship with your parents? Many times we repeat in our romantic relationships the traumas we inherited from childhood.

On Actualized Quotes #769, sometimes I forget this is not a big but a feature.

It depends on tastes, but when I buy a car I want it to last long. I want something well done in general. I might buy a Chinese car in the meantime though, they're extraordinary price quality wise. Like an Omoda 5. I don't need anything more really.

@coca I'm quite ignorant about cars honestly. I have to say that premium cars have very good second hand deals and this is also the case for Lexus. I like the philosophy of Toyota and therefore Lexus brings it to the next level in that sense. I like a car that needs little maintenance and is highly efficient.

I like Lexus, it's basically the premium brand of Toyota. The UX is a well rounded model.

Instead of ineffective, I'd say the better adjective would be inconsistent to deliver Awakening among a big group of people.

I drink alcohol sparely but I don't romanticise it. Alcohol is not good in general, but sometimes it can be the lesser bad of two things in your mind.

Yep, I don't know it. The quotes are good nevertheless. The point is that Christians can't even apply their own book.

2.000 years and Christians still haven't understood the teachings of Jesus: “Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be children of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that? And if you greet only your own people, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that?” — Matthew 5:44–47 “On reaching Jerusalem, Jesus entered the temple courts and began driving out those who were buying and selling there. He overturned the tables of the money changers and the benches of those selling doves, and would not allow anyone to carry merchandise through the temple courts. And as he taught them, he said, ‘Is it not written: “My house will be called a house of prayer for all nations”? But you have made it “a den of robbers.”’” — Mark 11:15–17 “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ ” — Matthew 22:37–40

@Vido You're doing a great job, this is a source of goodness for the Forum

Loving it so far. You’re really well-spoken and balanced, and honestly, such an interesting person.

I recommend neither of them, when we discover psychedelics it's such a good thing we wanna share it but we truly don't know how challenging it can get for other people, these things are not toys.
