  1. These days I am listening to the whole series of Jonh Vernaeke about the Crise o Meaning, where he lecture from Pytagoras, Sócrates,Aristotales,Plato and so he reach in the episode below where he talk about Gautma Siddharta and he leaving the palace ( indulgence, Having mode) to his path.. so Jonh as Vipassana pratictioner point out the topic of Attention and he pells the onion about it in a particular way that I never heard anybody talking about. For me particularly both in daily live meditation and when I participate in Medicine Plant retreats I notice how hard is to sit undistracted and have the mind not to lose not to tigth. Mainly in the retreats because if you ever go to a Ayahusca circle I tell you, good look trying to be with your eyes closed and dont let anything distract you from the insigths you are recieving. Is a challenge that with time I had learn to appreciate, and when is too much I just leave the room to be alone. Is not new for us that the big thing both online and offline is that attention is not a valuable coin these days, people are givin it for free. So summarizing, below I share the videos related to this. Better watchign the whole series, but this one and the next one helped me to realize some pratical stuff for me to apply in my practice. Hope you guys like. Is not, you always can ignore and follow your way.
  2. Eric Fromm about Modal Confusion Love • Having Mode: Love in the having mode is possessive as one seeks to control and limit the freedom of the other person. • Being Mode: In the being mode, one respects the autonomy and self-determination of their partner. Further, the focus of one’s actions are motivated by a desire to give rather than to receive https://wiseandshinezine.com/2022/04/16/erich-fromm-on-having-versus-being/
  3. Time to open "a share your art" thread in the Forum.
  4. One of the reasons i found him is that when I listen Podcast I search for people who are quoted, not all but the ones who call my attention. This Vernake I heard on this guy podcast. And In Vernkake series he gives book recomendations while he teach. For me he is a evolved version of Jordan Peterson, they even had a debate online.
  5. Basicaly a squirrel obsessed for acorns, teaching other squirrels how to create more viral acorns in order to have more squirrels obssessed with acorns making viral acorns to... Not even putting the link of the video because there is ready to much acorns. But the title speaks by itself.
  6. Again, all depends on what one consider "sucess" or even "philantrophy. Philantropy means "Love for humanity" so I could be a sucessfull philantrophist by traveling to Africa and Distribuiting GummyBears for kids to save then from Starvation? GummyBeard are energy anyway, and they are rich in collagen from PigBones. Maybe MrBeast could use his skill to make videos viral to make Actualized.org have more views,likes and Subscriptions. Would he be able to do that with videos of 3 hours? No so easy. Why? Because with all this incentive for short hits of dopamine the attention spam of more minds are getting shorter. Not only young college kids. I ready shared Leo Videos with friends who are active in Psycadelics and the feedback I got: Sorry man! a 3 hour video is longer than a Netflix movie, I dont have time for that. If we're going to relativize here, nothing wrong with MrBeast Videos, his videos are God, his videos are infinity and so, but in the social influence arena, are this content is having a direct effect, not different than the effects of me going to África to share candy for kids and calling that helping humanity to grow. The problem is this quantitative mindset instead of a qualitative and this mindset of " Anything that catch eyeball serve" Yes, catching eye ball is important as Dan Koe speaks about, but then, after catching eye ball that will you serve? What Value? This morning I was in the phone for 2 hours with a friend, I forgot to have breakfast, so valuable was the talk. Would I give my time just because he called me? No, he got my attention and respected it by offering good insigths. Some jokes, but overall good ideias and feedback. Do MrBeast respect the time he is getting from his audience?
  7. Bravo!!! HAhahahahahahahah.. cof!!coff.. hahahahahah...
  8. I took time to see the MrBeast Video going to Antartica. This one: So, with 42 so I just can laugth about it, and I take it as less usefull than a used napkin. But, when I was 12 maybe I would be inspired by the "Goonies" vibe that he shows in the video. I loved to go in Adventures in Nature, so I would love that video. But would be for me very weird to consume that in my 14 and up. Would be like dieting on Haribos thinking it would give sustainance to live. Youtube is not so different than supermarkets, easy to find junkfood, difficult to find whole food nutrient rich. I am watching Jonh Vernaeke series, that is food. But what can one do, preferences go changing with time. I dont know why, but for me the video came with Brasilisan voice, the exact same voice that was used when I watched the the comedy in the trailer bellow. By the way, the Goofy style of MrBeast resemble the guy in the movie, a guy doing low cost and low quality nature documentaries with a team high on weed. What is that guy who made an exposition where he simply put a toilet in the room and called that Art?
  9. 1:09:04 min the point they talk on Simp-shaming . I watched the whole video time ago. This guy interviews are way better than many others I found around the Manosphere
  10. I am not aware of how all the media info sharing work. Maybe Vice Team had a way to get the info first hand. We know how it works in media industry, every one wants to be the first to get the news first, so Vice as a instituition is working for its survival by getting some "fresh food" out there to create content. Dont come to my mind any other case that was made difficult because of the media coverage in the past, but for sure someone can remember. There was in history any case where the veredict was affected by what the population recived from the media? I think I saw this in a movie.
  11. I agree that there is not easy answers because is a tacit learning, something done in the field of life. And no amount or reading, forum sharings, and vídeos can help when one is in a raw relationship situation where no previous old experiences apply. But learning with each other is the only way if we are truly open to listen to the the other side. Deep listening is a skill taken for granted nowadays, so a lot of Misunderstandings.
  12. True, I used to think proximity would make us closed, but life is counter-intuituve. If you sleep with her every day in the same room, smelling each other farts(hehe) and basicaly being in her energy is not healty even to her. The proximity and distance ratio in a relationship is a nuanced dance that demands honest communication, and if you two just decide to set the pace of the relation after the honeymoon phase passed then is to late. You need constant iteration, talks, adjustments. Not so different than managing a bussiness, if you dont take care you end up broke.
  13. Sharing a different way of seeing this topic, because bussiness corruption apart, one of the things implicit in this issue is Sex and the way man and woman relate, the darker aspects, the polarizarion, the shadow aspects of men and women in sex and relationships. As a man I know I have some tendency to dominance, and desire to ravish a woman as David Deida show in his writings, You guys know is amazing to be in your masculine power in bed and women love to see and feel this when is autentic, they can say what they wish but this desire to surrender is there, is just difficult to find a man for who she can feel safe to let go fully. And then there is the woman trickery that can be from a small display of little brat to being to much roller costery, waters that not all sailors are trained to navigate, I dont know how to make my point but you guys know what I am taking, when the Kali enter there and you better be Grounded and Present to it. Anyway, I am gaining a lot from hearing this Chris Bale guy. Not putting him in a pedestal because sometimes I disagree with some stuff he say, but, you dont need to agree fully with someone to learn some from him. Even Tate can teach us usefull lessons, even if learning how not to be. Link below: The epidemy of Bad Sex Part 1 . https://www.instagram.com/p/CnUKcmcIDn3/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=
  14. I am normaly a calm person exactly because instead of exploding i a big vent I make daily little ventings when is necessary. You need to be aware when is necessary and when better not botter at all. When I see someone is acting out of triviality or blantly lying I don't get extremely angry first, first I try to understand with diplomacy what is the situation and if the situation proves that the other is just being provocative from a place of childishness( unless is a actual child) I will respond from the level he or she choose himself or herself to play. If you are communicating as a sober adullt I will talk with you as an adult, but if you drop into the child role stubborb,tantrum and so on, then someone need to be the adult in the relationship. But overall as someone said above, while you have a body you will have emotions and triggers from living among others with their dramas and process. Better be awake and observant every second of the feedback loop in relationships. Not paranoid but paying attention.
  15. Oh dear, this Circus is more spicy than one even dream. How much Shadow Work still in the future years, maily in the Woman and Men Arena.
  16. I feel is a question of the deep sense of resposability and accountability and this varies among people. Some people go speaking anything willy nilly like spiting words in the air not knowing that all language carrie meaning and although is seen as a non physical element or "just air passing in your mouth" is not the case, words can have different effects in different people. And I see in the example of Leo when in some videos he say he was planning to release X video long time ago but he wanted to have extra care to check a Insigth again and again to make sure he would not mislead his audience. Anyway, some videos will be misinterpreted my fools no matter how clear one speaks. For me especialy I notice very fast how the speed, rytm, and other nuaces of voice say about the inner state of a person. Today I friend shared he is going for 6 months study with a Taita in Peru and he sent me a video of the shaman. I was listening close to a girl friend of mine and without looking she said: Wow, such a calming voice, let me see this man" Is the video below. His message is beautifull too but we can catch this naturalness in the speak. We can feel the health in it. But when I hear Tate, JP, and others I can sense the energy behind the words. Sometimes what is not said in words is still there, and I know this whenever I catch my own voice speaking something but the emotional energy that goes with it is not coherent with the message. Just the voice can be healing or create a orgazing effect in the body, a sexy voice can arouse, a anxious voice can cause axiety and so on. For me there is Samba voices, grovy voices etc..
  17. This is a another amazing study of confirmation-bias. If you look for patterns to confirm your present worldview you can find it. There is not lack of resources for keep maintaining a certain Indentity. And as the mother below claims, if I was a father of boys I would be carefull of what kind of "Infuencer" is spiling his ideas in my boys in development minds, in the Absolute level make no sense of caring about how the mind of a kid is influenced but in the Relative is fully important and also in the Absolute because that influenced mind will need to descontruct all that shit before it get free to reach highe levels of development. So taking out of the scene this kind of social virus is important in the long run cenário for individual health and woman and men relational health.
  18. Is this a photoshop or is Mikaela with Tate? I never would make the conection of who is this Gaston guy? Since I dont watch Disney movies
  19. Ido Portal Movement Pratice This guy below organized his Ido ideas on Movement very well. But Ido is more active now on YouTube. https://antranik.org/the-floreio-project/
  20. If in person I follow intuition, verbal, non-verbal clues, vibe etc... there is Human Desing reason why I flow better with some and not with others, but is hard to make the Human Desing profile just by intuition, but I can get rigth sometimes.basicaly the radiance or lack of it shows a lot, and when the person open his or her mouth they expose what they are, by words or just the breath smell hehe. With writings and video is also possible to acess . For me instead of trying to categorise a character i simply acess if I need to skip the minutes in a video or the pages in a book, I am unapologetic about it, If a movie dont match you why keep watching it, same with books and videos. Life is short to shitty books ,videos and companies, and there are plenty of options today. The only exception I open is when I want to give the person the chance to reveal more of himself because I may have a biase to break ,and that person appears in my field to help me break it, so easygoing people and difficult people can serve for growth. I say this because I feel implicit in your question the "Why" would I want to acess someone character? And for me personaly would be to check is there is some space of growth in this relationship or not, or even the danger losing time or even get involved in unecessary stuff. One day I didn't read well a person and that was almost costing my life. Long story but was a man assalting the hotel where I was receptionist and I opened the door for him confusing he for a costumer. So, knowing to acess fast people can save your life. Ask the girls who got involved in Tate Scheme if they could smell the rabbit Hole they were going into.
  21. @Bojan V In Portugal most people accepted the rules with no fuzz. Some ranting here or there but not in the level of descredit to the government quarantine rules. In the news of course people give their contrarian opinions but in the street level the commom citzen followed what was requested as a necessary unconfortable way to avoid more spreading. Different places have different ways to react to this events, Spiral Dynamic Reasons and culture. For me the Covid was chill psychologicaly speaking, I was going to many spiritual gatherings, Estatic Dance, even Contact Improvisarion where people touch each other in dance. Where I live there are plenty of communities doing permaculture and very flexible, so I was just Lucky for not being in a big city those times. Sometimes is just this: Pure Luck.
  22. Ask a Cult Leader, Are you a cult leader? No, I am not a cult leader!! Ask a scammer: Are you a scammer? No way, I am not!! My product is legit and pure gold.
