I move the universe by moving my fingers.

I have this issue where I usually don't trust other people when working with them. From my past experiences, most people only do the bare minimum to get paid. They aren't interested in doing quality and genuine work, they aren't interested in improving things, they just want money. Because of that, I'm usually very individualistic and don't want to work with others because I'm expecting others to be incompetent. But, at the same time, I still need to work with others because I cannot do everything by myself. I just want your thoughts about this.

The Puzzle of Consciousness Consciousness is a puzzle with infinite pieces. Each piece is both a part of the puzzle and the puzzle itself. A piece needs to be the puzzle, otherwise, the puzzle cannot exist. The puzzle exists when the pieces aren't assembled/perceived together and the puzzle doesn't exist when all the pieces are united together.

I finished reading it for the second time two days ago. It cannot be only orange, and it is not, it also has elements of blue and green in it, but it is still mostly orange. The terms consciousness, self-acceptance, self-responsibility, self-assertiveness, purpose, and integrity exists at almost all stages (maybe not below blue), but are interpreted differently depending on the spiral development of the individual. The book also contains critics of statements such as: "The mind is powerless to know reality as it really is; ultimately, mind is impotent", "The senses are unreliable and untrustworthy; everything is an illusion", "Principles of logic are mere conventions". Some of the critics do have some kernels of true, but when the author make these critics he is not aware that there is something beyond to mind to integrate.

I hate noises.

I found a documentary about an atypical situation. In South Africa, there's a class of people who consist of poor white people. They live in similar situations that we often see with black people in many places of the world. They lack many things: hygiene, opportunities, etc. In South Africa, black people have now more opportunities and are better seen than white people. A black person has more chances of getting a job than a white person for example. It's like the same thing as in the US, but inverted. If you are white, how does it feel? If you are black, how does it feel? If you have another background, how does it feel? This documentary felt weird for me.

This one is orange. It's all about the self, individuality, and personal responsibility.

Interesting. Is it because beliefs and faith are used similarly than in religions? I remember the Self Confidence formula that looked like a prayer.

Speaking of South Africa, I came across this documentary recently. I didn't watch it, but it looks interesting.
