Why don't you test it though @AtmanIsBrahman? That's what I'd do. If there's some procedure you can follow. Start with something small. And if across a series of different reasonable examples you have success at that level, then you slowly keep raising the stakes. That's the logical thing to do. That way you at least have some closure on this area of potential personal development. Set a time, i.e. like one week or one month, or perhaps 10 minutes a day for 3 months, where you accumulate all the best knowledge you can find on the exact procedures and potential trainings you should practice to experience results. Stick to it. Do not go over your time limit. Make a personal journal on your results and the most strategic decision from here, being moved only based on the evidence of your experiences and sensible reasoning about those experiences. You are the arbiter of truth for your experiences, so embrace the learning and design your own healthy learning loop. That's what will enable you to make the best decision for you from this situation. For me in these situations, for someone to reach clarity combined with closure, they should be encouraged to be their own scientist, experimenter as much as its feasible to do so; blindly believing is very dangerous though, the adage 'be able to entertain an idea without the need to fully accept it'. Understand that in these kinds of law of attraction circles, they feed off your capacity to believe and irrational thinking. If you blindly believe, you give up your authority completely to the author, person or institution, if you don't blindly believe, fear can be used as a tool to explain away why you didn't experience results. Use your judgement to discern the rest. Best wishes.

Ah I see. It feels like a weird definition to me. I think this kind of magic has genuine limits that fall outside the scope of the provided example. Practically speaking, if someone genuinely knows the parameters of this kind of magic they could theoretically improve their competency; like dexterity. I don't believe that many people that believe in this kind of magic understand what they are doing. So where and if this kind of magic happens to be real, I don't believe that the example provided reflects what is possible for the average person. Instead, I think they are being deliberately and consciously scammed through the magic of misdirection. Just as magicians practice and get really good at their kind of magic, charlatans perfect the art of persuasion, misdirection and deception of which this area of personal development (i.e. "law of attraction" type stuff) is riddled with. Where and if it happens to be true, you're putting your hands inside of a bucket full of deadly scorpions trying to find and grab the diamond at the bottom and pull it out without any personal cost to you. Next to impossible without being seriously competent in discerning truth from falsity while investigating this area. Is this kind of example possible? Potentially. Is it available to your average practitioner? Most definitely not. Does the placebo have efficacy in helping people in a number of more biologically measurable ways? Absolutely yes. I am open to discussing magic as I first introduced it beyond this first example you've presently provided.

For me its more like: What are we qualifying as magic versus another consciousness capacity? If we were all blind, would we regard sight as magic? If we are all sighted, do we regard sight without eyesight magic? Is magic merely something that is not yet explainable using physical terms or is it absence of the physical in its entirety? What is the baseline measurement of the non-physical when radio-waves at the sensory level outside of understanding them would appear as non-physical outside of hearing them? Can someone clarify what we are assigning as magic? I googled magic and it returned the following definitions: noun The art or practice of using charms, spells, or rituals to attempt to produce supernatural effects or control events in nature. The charms, spells, and rituals so used. The exercise of sleight of hand or conjuring, as in making something seem to disappear, for entertainment. A mysterious quality of enchantment. adjective Of, relating to, or invoking the supernatural. Possessing distinctive qualities that produce unaccountable or baffling effects. transitive verb To produce, alter, or cause by or as if by magic. To cause to disappear by or as if by magic. Used with away.

@JimBo For me, ecosystem awareness leads to a state of flow that looks familiar to what someone might view as ego dissolution. One angle that justifies why this potentially works is because as ecosystem awareness increases, the experience of interconnectivity that results naturally decreases disconnectivity between what the psyche views as itself versus the environment. The limits to this is analogous to what people associate with 'enlightenment' within experienced consciousness, if its not either a direct overlap or literal experience of, however temporary or long it is from individual to individual.

Awareness is its own selective non-conformity and conformity engine. It facilitates mapping the environment, and converting the mapped into agency upon the environment rather than just as a clone of the reaction we initially had from our environment. And then its the inner-environment that co-creates that selectivity with this recursive agency as a bridge. Best.

All great philosophers know two things: 1. Sensory + relational limitations. 2. Sensory + relational expansions.. The balance between the two is the 'knowing' that is possible, and personally for me, I include states of consciousness within the sensory first (inclusive of other modalities, like those in the realm of of receive/send communications like telepathy), but what is supported by the relational. Happy to discuss. We cannot know that which we have never experienced (sensory), we cannot experience that which we cannot see relationally (I.e. logically). Best wishes.

It's because I am facilitating it. Shhh. Let's see how long it takes until things visibly change.

Without commitment you'll never start. Without consistency you'll never finish. This is not about passion, its about the awareness to be passionate. The moment you externalise the source of passion, you create a co-dependent relationship with meaning; which is toxic as all co-dependent relationships are. Becoming a "doormat" in relationship to yourself, who'da thought? Best wishes.

“Regression towards the mean”. One of its sneakiest forms of conformity, as it comes from system emergence. The average isn't inherently bad, though tendencies towards not being excited about challenges, habitual responses and social approval especially on unhealthy trends bridge compound interest with some of the shiftiest mortgage lenders of resulting human behaviour. Imagine two insulated circles, one mocks education while barely able to articulate themselves, another uses their credentials to substitute for critical thinking and genuinely innovative thinking in their profession. Each reward its own "regression towards the mean" in one of the most important areas of human life, curiosity, and now not caring about the world either intellectually or emotionally becomes more than just a habit, it becomes an encore for future innovations from certain directions in films, video games and "at the push of a button" technologies geared towards the lowest common denominator. Not to mention being the baseline for how geopolitical commentaries evaluate how they've going to persuade demographics, leading to a further dumbing down as politicians and their recruiting outfits see how little they have to try to sway public opinion which leads to people accepting what an authority says with less and less "proof". There is so much to take in within this brief life. One estimate suggests 8.7 million eukaryotic species on Earth. And discovering how these living worlds become possible offers even more complexity than the worlds they inhabit. How does bare rock become an ecosystem? How does sunlight become living tissue? How do forests, oceans, soils and atmosphere transform one another? What invisible relationships keep whole environments alive? How does evolution invent possibilities that never existed before? Every ordinary landscape becomes an unopened library of origins, dependencies and transformations. Why let the limits of your social circle become the boundaries of your experience? We have a lifetime to inhabit this planet, and the extraordinary reality of exploring the adjacent frontier of where the actual meets the possible at the edge of our own curiosity about the world around us. One of the biggest patterns I think can be noticed about a lack of curiosity, is that as this becomes the norm there's a subordination of personal identity at the explorational level which in return substitutes personal agency for agency based on social conveniences. So its not just identity being exported to 'the group as most people are already educated on, your very motivation. Your life sustenance, your very purpose for thought, feeling, all your instincts, everything that you think you are, is literally only being moved, based on your baseline for how you perceive your social environment. That's the scariest and most interesting part about it all simultaneously. It's actually beautiful in a way, and gives you a deeper understanding of what it means to be a human even if there's no real 'human' there, or rather how the human themselves exist inside the coordinates of a very myopic (but still beautiful) viewpoint intellectually speaking, but also very scary while also beautiful as it forces you to confront your nothingness against an environment that has pre-decided all of your freedoms, while trying to stake just where your freedom is. And here's another beautiful pattern I've also noticed, that its when a person knows and understands these things and does it anyway by exploring the frontier of where the actual (curiosity) meets the possible (imagination) = creative innovation, that defines most of what a post-rational culture is shifting towards defining the essence of what it means to be human from the perspective of living a life with purpose, authority, wisdom and freedom. And that just gives you another little interesting paradox to play with. To save ourselves in a post-rational society, we must regress towards the individual that does not exist (they exist in "nothingness") so that the individual learns how to create themselves for the collective, and the ecosystem that will absorb, train, restore and renew itself during and after they have gone. That's the kind of regression towards 'curiosity' that transforms worlds, and creates them in the act of being transformed by them in a far healthier way.

@Wilhelm44 Intellectual division is the healthiest form of disagreement, as it means that further work is going to be based more on intellectual rigour more than biased judgement, moreover, that this further work is going to lead to intellectual unity that is cautionary and therefore more likely to have a far higher degree of accuracy. The reason why intellectual division is the healthiest form, as it implies that people are interpreting the world from their own unique perspective, while being as non-biased as possible. This is extremely valuable because its of course aligned with the actual truth, we are all first observers, and if we didn't grant people access to their own uniqueness, we'd never have a proper subjective first person understanding of people like Ben Underwood. The problem with collectivism, is that instead of empowering them in their uniqueness this empowerment becomes an illusion subordinated by uniformity. Uniformity is not the issue, we need it more times than we realise as well, but uniformity at the lower end of the bell-curve on multiple markers from emotional intelligence to the cognitive plus being higher up on the bell-curve for things like religious extremism is well, extremely dangerous.

I am open minded. Provide an example of the shift and we can work from there. Would you like me to provide clear examples for you? Everyone of my friends do. It's especially important for the workplace, someone may just be having a bad day, and hey, you gotta remember here many people take psychedelics which are going to momentary alter judgement; interpretation is vital. Thus far, you're making many more claims than me, while being uncomfortable about providing supportive evidence that clearly substantiates. Instead of broaching my actual interpretations of the Links you provided, you've instead decided to change the topic. Please state why. Actually its the natural code of conduct for basic scientific reasoning. We seek out examples, then we seek out further examples to substantiate hypotheses. Yes, but go into one specifically please. I don't have time to review every one, I only went into the first five. As I stated as well, most of your examples are pre-2026. No its not, I am not asking for a scientific paper, data analysis, or repeated experimentations; I am asking for the bare minimum of work to substantiate your claims. Which examples specifically do you want to focus on? You mentioned that you yourself didn't even read all of the examples you provided.

Study many different ecosystems and their natural environments as well, and this stuff has a much more seamless common sense to it. Best.

Interesting. For me, this is pretty straightforward. Increased imports from China and exportation of American work to China minus capacity to effectively balance with tariffs has made many unemployed people angry and a geopolitical conversation the USA have only been able to presently manage with "blame China", and is otherwise, out of solutions. But there are undercurrents. Taiwan is where Beijing’s claim over a self-governing island confronts US support for its defence; its advanced chip factories also make disruption globally consequential. China has spent decades developing capabilities to make American intervention costly and uncertain, like literally decades preparing for any potential USA military initiative however it may arise in part because the country always knew underneath just how departed they were and would be in the future from the West. Think about it, you've become a global export super-power, any smart government will realise if they don't reinvest back into protections, they'll become sitting ducks on an economic landmine field. Especially when yes of course, the CCP for example and how they run things is materially different from the US political system. For Trump, America and AI as well, "it's us or China", which is why these AI companies are profiting far more through fear campaigns than they are through utopian visions of the future because they're promised geopolitical repositioning for every time they can at least simulate a potential improvement in AI even if a real one hasn't occurred; or is only marginal. At present, the only threat is biological AI, and recklessly spending money on models where even if say OpenAI, Grok and or Anthropic built the best models, the competition is only potentially weeks away. Militarily and or economically, that's never going to be enough of an advantage, unless you can manipulate your competition that you've 'always got something better and potentially in hiding', of which, they kinda get away with sometimes. Overall, it’s rising heat in already air that's had maximum humidity for decades and with other global interdependent relationships, from China with Russia, and America's alliances across Europe and Asia.

@Raze I used the term *intellectual division*. It's the same problem we have on this forum. Intellectual division is very different from division arising from stupidity.

The lack of intellectual division in Palestine is all you need to know about Palestine despite their being many intelligent Palestinians, and its precisely why they're in their present position; this will not change anytime soon.

You are the dream that you create in this moment. Make it a good one.

@Nilas I have many portfolios of many businesses I analyse and learn from. This is my funnel for building the filter that determines my investment decisions and creative directions.

Keep to minimum. Maximise quality. Quality of energy + disciplined alignment. Disciplined alignment is the only discipline that's important; because then you do the thing however trivial in a way that it matters, as now it has meaning to you given alignment literally is aligned meaning.

I enjoy it.

Howdy, Due to the sensitivity of the work I am involved in its difficult to have a self reflective journal, even in relation to medicine. I am looking forward to this changing next year, where I get define the purpose of my own humanitarian projects in Ukraine 🇺🇦. Between now and then, I would like to return to making music with AI (for now). The fact that I stopped at a darker (yet romantic) song in my journal "Individuated Boundaries", kept gnawing away at me [its my second last comment in that journal if you want to listen to it]. We are going to return back to songs improvised within 30-60 minutes. Arguably, the song of the three I made in "Individuated Boundaries" that held the most weight across time was the song I spent the least time on, Divine Reason. Divine Reason - https://0ooo0ooo0.bandcamp.com/track/divine-reason The second song, Returning to my Lightful Throne, I spent over 15 hours and evaluated it as only being about 65% complete at the time. For me, relative to where I am in my development it feels a bit too intense in the direction that doesn't truly help my own leadership. Towards cultivating towards the inner worlds, yes, it has weight and thats its purpose. The third song "Rage of Love", the darkest and most romantic, becomes like a tuning fork towards activating my own protective instincts, and can often lead to anger that doesn't consistently help me over a larger span of time. On the subject or anger, and therefore briefly returning to later mention in my journal, PROJECT : MEANING, one extremely solid truth now that I have been crafting for months now is the fact that the next fold to the heart-activation exercise, is learning to concentrate that energy towards the gut region, which at least for me, a lot of my anger has been programmed to be stored. Although this is still pre-stage 3, it is now bullet proof in my own experience, that the ability to direct energy towards other key parts of our nervous system is a key tennet to the exercise itself. Anger is a fantastic example of what I can now extremely well control as a consequence of learning this extra action. Following as well, my mastery of stage 2, we get an understanding more and more of pinpointing just where jn our nervous system different emotions are activated. My anger is almost always arising as a felt experience from the gut, there are other regions, however I see them now in relationship to the gut now more than a standalone contributor to the final frequency. Anger has enormous value, directed with intelligence, and when its without such, anger corrupts intelligence. So after heart-activation is sustained, one can take that cultivated positive warm energy, and direct it towadds the gut to in effect, heal those cells that were initially programmed out of pure survival states, not groeth states. Moving forward all the way till the end of the year, or at least until September when the horizons are a bit clearer on next year, I will only add to this journal, focusing on songs more along the lines of Divine Reason. After I created Lightful Throne, I didnt really vibe with Divine Reason, now it feels more resonant as well as me realising thats the resonance I should to move towards taking in next year. At a minimum, I will share one song per week that I have written on the fly and that explores various prototypes of "lighter vibes", however the creative direction I take there. So only songs here until at least September, heh, let's get rockin! Best regards, oOo All in practising a state of creative flow: I do all steps on the fly, within 60 minutes. I write my own Lyrics completely. I write my own Style the music is in completely. All in the creative moment. I let AI do the rest, using Suno. [though choosing a variation it creates can sometimes take a little while heh]

These are assumptions. There's a clear distinction between a judgement upon another and an analysis of behaviour indistinguishable from fact. My observation is that making a judgement about someone on this forum generally carries less epistemic credibility than the level of inquiry required into an individual's behaviour for meaningful validity in any statement. In your examples above, can you find anyone you've already predicted is 'obviously people pumping their own tires' and 'building an ego around being Tier 2' that does so repeatedly here and perhaps in other ways on the forum to justify the pattern you've observed? What methodology are you following to distinguish assumptions from patterns you've established that would all things being equal reliably predict the future without responsible intervention? Personally, my prediction is that because the complaints are so general from the forum, there is literally no one that anyone would be able to find that would satisfy the criteria that justifies the forum response, much less a wealth of individuals. It's just a prediction however, even after the above requirements are not met because I don't have enough facts in the situation, I too am making some assumptions. That said, my prediction is also based on other forum patterns, so I have more data than yourself whereas I am guessing there is very little data if any on any one single person using spiral dynamics as irresponsible as the emotional response generated suggests. As stated, this is the core of the long-standing systemic issue, including how to facilitate critical thinking around it at the individual to forum level. Overall, we can categorise what's happened here with spiral dynamics at the 'cringe' level is merely something like toxic memetics, or falls into the category somewhere there; it happens all the time but as the kicker goes, we gotta cringe against the lack of critical thinking that leads to it @something_else .

To younger self: "Dream; and then dream it again. Trust loop alone."

And that's all humans on earth, not that actualised dot org is some kind of cult or somethin and by "together", that I mean our digital aliases

Imagine if you could redo the previous 1 minute rather than the last 10 years, 20 years or whatever it is, and you had to redo it and you couldn't do anything that was unhealthy to your well=being, how would you do it and or 'redo' it differently? Have compassion for yourself @PinkChalice; self-compassion is one of the pillars of self-honesty, and a hefty influence on how well we do every other pillar there. As much as you may think some other person has such a better life, we're all in this together, and we're all making unique choices together every second, 1 minute at a time, together; and that most of what we classify as 'better' comes down to perspective, outside of what immediately relates to health and well-being. Best wishes.
