@StarStruck You can downsize your mentality if you wish to engage and possibily have sex, but ask yourself why do you want to engage in conversation with mindless minds. For me better to save my saliva for good talks.

Family is Karmic bonds, if you are the only one doing healing work, well,good luck. I say this cause is my case. Going to retreats, purging my shit away, observing patterns but when I go to my family I need to be sharp and open eyes or ears as a hawk because the projections,manipulations and deflections in case I speak up are incredebly sneaky. Helps a lot doing the study work from books and from observing. But lets admit that sometimes the best one can think about doing is going as soon as possible as far as possible from the dramas. Sometimes far from them one heals karma better than close. Unless you enjoy the meatgrinder.

Although I can see clearly that when he say "we" he is speaking for an abstract "we" when he say "leave us alone" but still I agree that there is a lot of "utopia" and blindeness to the complexity coming from the side of "they" (whosoever they are). Peterson exist for a reason, channel a certain energy in the air, the voice of "enough is enogth" that many want to speak but cant.

@Jodistrict yes, my point on him is that there is little concern for the planet in the discourse. Is just the we vs them. Whenever I listen someone now a days I ask myself: How much this person is polarizing? Of course zero polarizing is hard but there are cases that is extremely clear. -
Is not Trauma something we hide from view so we dont need to see it anymore? Is not true that a lot of things that guide our behavior are mostly hiden behind cope mechaninsm to avoid facing some hard realities about our relationships be it with parents,society,money or whatever other thing? Well, a random line os events brougth me to a new way to see the word or concept of Dukka that normaly we take as suffering. But somewhere in the video below the writer explain that he found out Dukka as "something difficult to face or see" or as he say, in the therapeutic set "a trauma". He came to his work via the story of Buddha and is known that Buddha lost his Mother in early age so the writer considered that maybe this took the young Siddartha to somehow go into the path of Dissasociation in a way to deal with this traumatic event in his development. And then one day he got the contentment after all years of struggle. Hard to explain so for who wish check the video below What brogth me to this author was another guy that deals more especialy with the issue of Grief and the lack of space in society to Grief loss. For those in the path of looking deep into "things had to see" or Dukka, this is also a good guy to check the work. His name is Francis Weller. Anyway comming back to the problem of using ancient terms is that we somehow lack in may ways the context where these terms came up and we get new modern interpretations that sometimes had nothing to do with the original intent of the word. From the link below https://discourse.suttacentral.net/t/what-is-the-best-translation-for-dukkha/5025 I got this: "The most common translation for dukkha is “suffering.” I have always felt that this translation is nearly a little harsh and have preferred “unsatisfactoriness. " Many years ago I had to translate the Chinese word “qi” 气. I decided not to translate it using one of the common methods; by looking at the origin of character; steam coming off rice. Instead I looked at how the word was used by ancient writers. I noticed that there were about 20 different meanings depending on who the author was and what dynasty. In the end though I was able to trace it back to its most original use, which could be summed up as that vital essence of air or that “thing” within air that gives birth to life, movement and manifestations of the physical world. Can we do the same for dukkha, to see how it was ‘used’ throughout the early suttas and find the correct translation not based on etymology but how it was originally used. One of the issues I see is that so many things are dukkha. Being one of the core concepts of Buddhism I can’t help but feel the importance of a correct translation, especially when I have seen so many different ones with the most recent being “stress." I recently came across a translation of anattā as “void of self”, this translation seemed to make much more sense to me than “non-self” or 无我. One may argue these are minor nuances, but for me these differences in translations are profound as they have very different meanings.

I found this guy via twitter that deals with the whole topic of polarization. Have links to books about it and looking for ways to deal with it. Well, we all know is a thing in society so I am just sharing. Would start here. Wow, this guy have good level of communication in my humble view https://open.spotify.com/episode/33Irys5LUzDWUKwxalTUJA?si=00xVFvj0TtC-G4YGUsVRPg

Well, I dont know how to categorize this interview since the topic of sex is there but is not only about it. This Aella girl, well you guys judge as you want but the woman is interesting, libido when directed can be a great source of intelligence. Sex and intelligence for me is connected. Around 1:00:09 Lex ask her about Tate and the camscheme.

@D2sage Yes, If you are unto Surf as tourist good, come, enjoy, but to live here better get ready to afford the housing prices either to rent or buy and still the insulation quality of most houses are Medieval. Maybe one of the great shits here is that is all set to Turistic Optimization and not good quality of life for the locals. -
When we observe a individual, ourselves or for exemple a bussiness we can somehow have red flags that show that it have chances for growth or that is in a slope path to decadence. In a country. For example I live in Portugal now. And is showing some signs that is making me not so positive to live here anymore. The education system is a mess. Teachers are in a strike since December. Housing situation a mess, Real States selling Golden Visas and Luxury Houses for Retired old people from North Europe and locals having difficulty to cope with the rising prices, The contry forests are not so big and summer everything dry and water is not so abundand. There are predictions of a desertification. So all I can see here is that in the next 30 40 years this will be a MadMax land. There is some source of a metric to evaluate a good place to go for growth. Like, when you evaluate a relationship you aim for not perfection but at least to have some margin to work for growth. For a country, what flags can one look for ? RED FLAGS, blue flags.

When Indentity are in the arena things get difficult. And make no sense to say people should stop caring about their Identities -
Nowadays I am motivated by obseving consciousness, learning about myself and the world, sex included and all the corners of sexuality ligth and dark. It get interesting when you are not obsessed by it, one can have an apreciation of the nuances of it.

@Jodistrict wow, this is top

Well I never could think that someone really could have this kind of views, but as a ex Mormon I can understand that people can stand of a lot of far off ideas. I use to belive God lived in a planet called Kolob and there he had many wifes. Hehe Now I understand Lex Friedman and Elon Musk and the Trasnshumanists. Jesus fucking Christ I am listening the video below with the question. Where is the Bias of This worldview?

Take a look on this, O mean, dont buy the book, make a short research to see if fit your process. In summa the book deals with the topic that we during life unconsciously do some sort of contracts, for example, one is abused and decide subtly that never again will open his or her heart and so on. So we tend to do this contracts. I got myself always checking sometimes that a small experience in the past create a block in my flow that I would never imagine. So when you revisit that block and see that you created a contract you can recontext it and follow free from that.

@Kksd74628 we have way more serious problems ahead. I mean, in the next 20, 30 years. -
@StarStruck the catch word there is " that I can make my imprint on her" is here where he subtly shows his inner psyco

Of course this question is for myself and for you and other people with no child in this forum. Although you said reproduction is illusion is still part of existence, not necessarily needed to be experienced by all, but you, do you feel it gonna happen in this life time? If yes or not why?

I dont follow or pay her anything. Just check her writings for the sake of listening diferent point of view. Even with a girl or woman who use onlyfans to make money one can learn something.

Great clash of two sides The video is about the topics of how sexual Revolution was not so great for women, this is the point Perry try to defend and the other side with some nuance we have Aella, this girl that among other things makes her life from Onlyfans. And make some interesting surveys on Twitter and her humble page. I particularly like her style, curiosous free and well, the interview will be interesting for those who like to see the nuances in this topic of sexuality. I came to this video via Aella Twitter and a nice Documentary where Aella is triping on LSD. See below. The video is pretty Intimacy experience and I like the realness of it . This shows a bit of the liberated vibe of Aella This is a small Doc where Aella trip LSD. What I loved in the video was the vunerability felt sense of it. I resonate because when I have Srooms if very similar the embodied erotic rawness I get when triping. I could even say that is not even a psychedelic journey for me but more a deep embodied primal journey.

Yes, addiction in porn is a thing and much better to have real skin to skin interactions than masturbate to a screen, but check this woman and the concept she is bringing to the arena. This was recomended by a girl I sometimes hang out and that is exploring the sexual realms

@Vlad_ one day I licked a smelly one, and I kind of like it. I was high on truffes and even got visions while doing it. I don't know, I kind of like exquisite favors and aromas, so for me if dont make me vomit is ok. So yeah, try different flavors.

Maybe Aella would be better match, the girl have a veryyy openmind https://aella.substack.com/p/the-identity-of-tits

You can contact Aella for a date. Seriously, in the end of the post you can subscribe for casual sex with her. Hehe, the questionary is amazing. https://aella.substack.com/p/the-identity-of-tits
