Sincerity

You should just want to see what’s true. Don’t be attached. Always be ready to throw everything into the trashcan and start from scratch. Truth is (usually) seen from beginner’s mind. Not-know over, and over, and over.

Feel free to start the discussion with your input. You explain it to us!

I'll think it through 1K times then 😆 I never did proper research on dogs because it's much too far-fetched for me now. I'd definitely do a ton of research before I got one though. I just like border collies from what I've currently seen and heard of them. Very possible that I like the idea of a border collie more than the actual reality of having it. Cute doggo btw! * * * * * * * * * * * I always laugh when I see greyhounds on the street. Not to be rude - I just find their physique really funny. They're beautiful. One of those small things in the world that make me chuckle. Other being eg. birds.

Yeah that's true. I'll see where I am in life in 10-20 years. It's a long-term vision.

Y'all's pets are absolutely adorable. I want to have a new cat and dog (prolly a border collie) eventually, in a decade or so.

Stupidest recent photo I could find. Not really „my” cat now, because I don’t live with my family anymore. She always loved me the most.

What do you do to have fun? Do you experience joy in life? If so, doing what? Anything outside your room? Are there times when you have an optimistic outlook on the day and you’re just feeling good? These questions may sound unrelated, but they are important. Basically I think the best way to find a girlfriend is to 1) be in a fun, loose, optimistic state while 2) being basically anywhere outside your room where there is at least a single woman who could be gf material. This is how I found my gf (now ex) and I have 100% confidence that I will always be able to find a new girlfriend eventually, because I can act on this formula which I know simply works. Even though I am barely social. The first time I met my ex was when she was a barista and I entered the cafe smiling and in a light state. She was attracted to my state, we had brief small-talk and I took her IG. That’s how it started and I wasn’t even attached to the idea of „picking her up” so everything went effortless and I did „pick her up”. In the end, I got exactly what I wanted then (which was a gf).

Fools ridicule what they don’t understand.

I saw a trailer for this game and thought it looked interesting. I like the mood. Seems like a project worth supporting.

WWIII not looking so unlikely now.

Very nice.

Post them math videos. Especially those which have broadened your understanding in a cool way, sparked your curiosity, reminded You of the nature of the universe somehow.

@Leo Gura Since you love game dev and stories from creative people, I encourage you to look into Edmund McMillen. He's one of the OGs on the indie game development scene. He recently released a great game called Mewgenics which has been a big success, selling 1 million copies within 1 week. Very interesting behind the scenes topics in this interview: I've been playing that game for the last month. It's so fucking good.

Well, I think it’s just a matter of whichever energy is stronger in you: that of altruistic action vs that of deepening perception. I don’t think they’re different on a fundamental level - both are energies. Both are completely valid. It’s up to you what is expressed. You might feel the futility of altruistic action either due to 1) limiting beliefs and bias, eg. „bigger and more specific endeavours are pointless” or 2) because you genuinely don’t see the point and would rather engage in deepening perception. Again, both are energies, both are actions, both are endeavours. One is not worse than the other. Also, you don’t have to look at altruistic action as something for others. Outcomes don’t matter, following your energy does. Essentially you’re always doing anything because that’s what you are (energetically), not because you want an outcome. You only might start wanting outcomes after an energy is buzzing in you. But also, I think you can definitely skip the clinging to outcomes and just act on the energy freely. Energy is first order. So to sum up: both are energies, both are valid. Both don’t have to be about achieving something specific and clinging to outcomes. Both are futile or exciting. No difference. It depends on you.

I don’t read AI responses. Unless I’m working with an AI myself. Do you read AI opinions when someone else posts them?

Bro, nobody reads an AI opinion. Because who cares?

Because you don’t know what is true and you don’t know who to trust about what’s true. ”Reinventing the wheel” is simply doing the energetic work, which no one can do for you and can’t just be learned through information consumption. It’s development of character. So not a waste of time.

Hell yeah. I usually listen on Spotify.

Just watched the video. I really liked it. I love reality.

Okay so I know this is very funny because "haha ass" but I have a serious question. Every time I switch in the moment into intense concentration on experience/nature of self, my anus clenches inside. It's been like this for a long time now. Been wondering about it often but never cared enough to ask if others relate. So, do you relate? Does anyone have some knowledge on that? Do you think it's better to unclench it every time I notice it, or just disregard it and continue focusing uninterrupted? The way I go about raising state works. I'm just wondering about the muscle clench thing. The anus, and also eg. the sides of my head.

Thanks so much for your responses guys. I appreciate you! I’m not responding to all of them because I simply have nothing to add/comment. But I am taking them under consideration. Y’all are great.

Well, yes. I guess so. One thing I'd say though is that I don't think the ego "does" anything per se, and that the self vs no self boundary is incredibly muddy. There isn't "a" self in truth, even if one is engrossed in selfhood. BUT there is still the possibility of being fooled/believing in lower energies and acting on them, which makes one look "egoic" - even if one has genuinely awoken to being God. The full cleansing of one's energetic landscape is something quite different from awakening/insight into God. One doesn't have to be 100% energetically pure to realize God, and in fact there can be a kind of bipolarity where one can act from very high energy and be aware of Godhood in one day, and then have a lower energy backlash next week. This doesn't invalidate the God awakening and one can still have it in memory, "in the background". It's tricky.

There is zero logical incoherency. There’s two awake people in a room. Awake person 1 says I am God. Awake person 2 nods in approval with a smile. Then, person 2 says I am God. Awake person 1 nods in approval with a smile. There isn’t necessarily anything egoic about I am God. But it always seems that way from (some of) egos’ perspective. There’s nothing wrong about saying it too. It’s a beautiful statement of truth. Obviously, you have to awaken to it to get it.

@Carl-Richard 👍👍

I think it's just better to do your own thing 99% of the time and check with Leo 1% along the way. Instead of testing someone else's claims, just focus on discovering what's true. Follow YOUR inner rabbit. And then you can validate.
