@OlafFor me it's always been long walks, sometimes running or both. During these walks i just let myself feel and think whatever that comes up. Usually some feeling is already there before i start. Somehow the physical nature of walk and run helps body and mind to go through the troublesome feelings. I'm not always aware of what's going on, but at the end of it it's usually better. Some days are much better when i do see the fears, thoughts and assumptions behind the feelings and that's when i have a prolonged sense of calm. I guess understanding handles things on it's own, once understood the being takes over and takes care of it in due time.

If you want to read something that can really help you, then maybe read something from Anthony De Mello. Depending on how ready you are, It could completely transform you. Don't assume that nothing can help you, this will close your mind and you wont' help yourself. Since as you may know our beliefs create our reality and when we are assume something we look at things from that assumption hence blocking ourselves, like a kind of self fulfilling prophecy. Healing is not something that you do, you just create the circumstances for it by understanding what's actually happening. And healing happens as a consequence. Check this video (there are very few of these, but any video or book you take go till the end, give yourself a decent chance):

It's correct that specificity of experience doesn't prove the general deductive assumption. But your conclusion of infinite experiences doesn't follow from this. One specific experience doesn't saying anything about how many other experiences there are. It's simply silent on that topic.

Whatever Jiddu was doesn't matter, what he said matters and how it can help someone realize the truth matters. So it doesn't matter either you are right are wrong about him.

I guess you are right to some extent, things are not that black and white. Some of these countries do have time tested conservative values which may work better in certain situations. However i do prefer first world for the overall freedom it offers, though it has it's vices for sure.

Yeah, we don't know the actual story. But in past they used to have better stories for people at-least while they handled the business.

Yeah, it's clearly misplaced, relying on third world country barely above lunatic red to broker peace for the world. Hahaha

Yes, the models are increasingly becoming domain specific after Claude success at coding, that's basically all the recent success of AI is about, domain specific skills and tools.

This seems like hate speech to me. You can either pick one or many from Middle East.

Enlightenment at work.

Why do you need to share the insight?

I don't know where to categorize this country in spiral dynamics model. But somehow they came up to rescue the world, isn't this ironic?

Well, you'll have to look into your actions, what are the motives? why you do what you do? Mostly we have superficial reasons that we tell ourselves as stories. And usually we stick with stories that we like and repeat them until they stop working, That's what happens when you are not motivated enough for something and with time you figure out another story that can keep you moving. Usually these stories take the form a stick or carrot, rather a bit of both. Happy people have more carrots then sticks and vice versa. But actual motives are not these stories. Once we understand those motives, then it gets simpler to act as needed. But until we do that, you need some kind of a goal (carrot) or a serious problem(stick) to keep you moving. Since you have a problem motivating you i would recommend that you add a goal around it something positive that you like, that can motivate you. Secondly don't assume that goal with take care of itself, whenever you feel like lagging behind you have to decide again that you want this goal or this problem solved. It's like taking same decision again and again until it isn't needed and becomes a habit. All the best!

It's a meaningless question. There is no such thing as "your own country".

I personally understand "Truth" in terms what's really the case, instead of what i may want it to be. In that sense what i may want is a sort of illusion compared to actually what's real or true. I also understand Honesty/Integrity as to be aligned with reality or "Truth" instead of what i may want truth to be. Your purpose in that sense is something created by you and can only exist in the context of "Truth" or reality not a fantasy or illusion. Ultimately the question is, If i can delude myself to be happy for rest of my life, is that acceptable? If it is for you then focus on life purpose, if no focus on "Truth". However two are not mutually exclusive.
