Key Elements

I can't find my favorite classic / traditional Burmese songs. One of them is a funny one that goes like, "Arr luu na ma bay ne." It could translate into potato, or the real translation is, "Don't bullshit." Now, a lot of them are love songs or hip hop Burmese songs coming from the "younger generation."

This song... Reminds me of this song...

"An eye for an eye..."

"Learn why it is best to keep your personal life personal." -online counselor (I agree with this quote, especially for non-duality. You would have to say it tactfully to anyone you meet. Why would the other person with no experience understand? They will just understand it as another story but not capable of relating to you. So, the results: judging, gossipping, rumors, projections, wrong advices that will get you in big trouble later if you follow them, etc. Show a simple persona first before going down the rabbit hole with anyone.)

@remember Trauma? Hmmm...ok. ? Well, the following isn't about you. I'm addressing this thread, and in general. You know what triggers trauma? When you say one thing, and the other person doesn't see it for what it is, or the question of, "would you clarify?" have never been asked. Then this negative seed turns into something big and blown up in the end. You have to keep the conversation simple with most ppl. Non-duality is definitely out of the question. Another thing I see that triggers others is, judging others without even knowing them. Trump is good at this, for he's not patient enough to find out about other ppl's journeys in a radically open-minded way. He's goal oriented, not journey oriented. He won't listen. He's only looking for quick fix results. But, most ppl don't do the opposite to Trump anyway. They are similar to Trump. They just look at others on the surface level. When you walk into a rated R movie at the theaters, do you automatically label ppl watching the movie at stage orange or below? Why bother? You don't know them. Don't waste your time obsessing over them. Maybe a few of them are above you? If you want to change ppl, work on a profound life purpose. It gives others a choice whether or not to go along with you. Oh yeah, and I'm talking about a profound life purpose, not some stage orange car company or Trump's casinos. So, it's a choice not manipulation. I could understand how Cheetos and all these junk foods could make you a "zombie." After all, sugars, salts, and preservatives are addictive. Even unconscious video games. Hey, what about fad diets? Even being vegan can be a fad diet. But, a profound life purpose? Nope. It's just the complete opposite. If you don't understand, then you haven't attempted to do it, or you went off on a tangent.

"What people do is, they hold on to the good at the cost of the great. (29:40)" -Leo @Leo GuraVery powerful quote, Leo! Reminds me of this movie: Too bad he couldn't have it his way in the end--if you watch the whole movie. This is just a movie. In real life, it doesn't have to be exactly like this. Thank goodness! When she found out...here.

No he can't. He even taught his eldest son, Donald Trump Jr. not to trust him when he was little. "No one is to be trusted," is his motto. Look how petty he is here: This is a good giveaway of who he is, but since the general public is also orange, Trump is seen as tough.

@remember j/k

@remember really? Thanks. I disagree. I need to do a lot better.

@remember well, it's just a quote. I don't identify with any countries. But, since I live in the US, I might as well do my best here.

"Ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country." -JFK Trump and Bernie would look at this quote differently. Bernie would probably try to make it easier for a lot more ppl to reach it. Well, what I said was a lot more than just career or personal agenda. Just because they're green, doesn't mean they're not stuck in green. A person will have to learn how to deal with such a person when socializing.

Trump is social to a certain extent. He's more social than most ppl. Where do you meet someone like Trump? One of the places: networking. You'll have to become an early stage startup first with nice business cards and dress nicely when you step into that arena. Then, you talk about your early stage startup and where you're at, how to be self-employed, and how you got organic growth. Someone like Trump will know what I'm talking about. This is part of being social. You cannot just go and talk about your awakening. No one would want to hear it, not even those who have it. There is always a comparison when you just say it out like that. First, ppl need to know who you are when you introduce yourself. (Eg. "Hello, my name is Toyota.") Like I said in this thread, everyone knows what is a Toyota. Ppl in general (and probably by nature) don't want you to take them down your rabbit hole. They want a choice in life. You could shed a light on them, but it might be the wrong light. And, they're right. We're all different. They need to find their own light, not your light. When you convert your startup into a life purpose and express your awakening there, it gives your audience and others more of a choice to think about it. It has to be done tactfully so that it doesn't sound like you're converting them into a religion/cult. Trump messed up because, if you've been following him, his main objective is to be the next trillionaire and always be in the spotlight. That's his attitude. That doesn't qualify him for president. Now, he's forced to think of others. He's not self-made. His father was well-to-do. If he started off poor and became a startup, it's more likely that he won't have such a big ego.

Good for you. I hope Trump's show watches you. I had no problems watching Donald Trump's Apprentice Show (series). I don't have any weird phobias toward any movies, shows, or whatever I watch. If you do, not sure what to say. Go seek help. This is one of the reasons why I did not vote for him. I see him stepping on everyone all the time and having fun while getting richer. Meanwhile, other ppl's reputations get damaged on his show by back stabbing each other. Trump gets the advantage of looking tough and cocky while he says, "You're fired!" Trump loves creating such environments. His presidency is like this too.

In fact, maybe Trump has PTSD from military school. I heard he does have a military background, but maybe he forgot to integrate it properly. He has the discipline but not beyond that.

If you like to watch the movie, Die Hard, go ahead. If you love war movies, go ahead. My favorite war movie is, Seven Samurai. The hero in the end does not get attached and become unconscious. He (or she) doesn't get PTSD, or learns to rid of it by becoming empowered, or whatever way or method.

The past is past. They are only stories. There is nothing wrong with remembering them, but you don't have to be attached to them.

Yes, and I'm saying that you don't have to be attached to your identity when you reflect back in your life. Yes, I was referring to that clip.

@DrewNows None of the info I presented were about attachments--just the opposite. The character in the story (movie) was not attached to any of her behaviors, not even when she defended her friend, which of course impressed me that there is such a person. But, that's just a movie. When I reflect back into my life, I suspect I've met such ppl. I feel it's such a honor and privilege just to see someone like that. (❤️)

There are always deep meanings behind certain movies, music, art, and stories. If a person lacks the experience in life, the story doesn't mean much. It may even look ridiculous and shallow. For instance, how often does the average Joe think of the book, Anne Frank, The Diary of a Young Girl? After reading it in middle school, probably never. However, a person who has experienced war as a child and who was in the same situation as Anne Frank, would totally relate to Anne Frank's story. She would never forget the people who were hiding her. ______ In other words, the video I posted was about a movie. It was a lot more than just about domestic violence. You also have to research and understand the consequences of one's actions (hitting someone) if you behave like that nowadays under certain circumstances. The movie took place in a different time, place, and culture.

I used to volunteer in something similar. Currently, I'm thinking: if I actually complete my life purpose, and I'm financially set, and then, I go back to volunteering again. I would know what to teach to get them out of their situation step-by-step. They shouldn't go back to their abuser. There are other ways to get out of it than having only a job as an option. Of course, step-by-step empowerment is necessary.
