Yeah I he volcano thing seems to be their favourite argument as if late. I talked to a guy and was like "We in the West can do everything right but then you got a country like China that pretty much doesn't care with like a billion people so we might still be fucked". Just an observation on my part. The conservative approach is that that would be reason that we might just nothing at all as well then"..... I am too much of a positive thinker. I just believe that we are going to fuck nature up as we know it....but we will still survive trough it as a species. Something like this:

That's cool. I would like to have pets. I work too much.

Like the Apocalypse?

Do you think it's possible to fuck the whole environment up beyond repair, but still survive as a human species?

I think it all ties together. I don't really think that Republicans and their voter base care much for environmental issues. At least the majority of them seem to downplay it or make fun of it.

Watch for the ammonia smell. If you smell like ammonia during or after excercise then your body has been burning muscle for energy.

What pets you have?

Who has read: The seven chakra personality types. By Shai Tubali. Thoughts?

I think you should pursue money and success. We live in a world that drives on money and success. This place is supposed to raise an individuals consciousness and that of the world/society as a whole right? If you think of this forum as an 'Army' that needs to fight the unconsiousness 'Army' out there, then not making good money and not having person personal success makes for a not well equipped 'Army'.

@Ingit unhealthy manifestation of Orange. Just don't engage. Refuse to play. If you are playing on someone's else terms you going to lose most times anyways.

A career tends to workout that way. First there are many years where you don't see much progress. And then a sudden spike. I have been working on my career for 10 years now. And only the last 3 1/2 it really started to look like something. Not until 1 1/2 years ago that I started to have some real success. That stage/age at which you are now us very rough. I experienced it to be very rough. You are done with college etc. and now it's time to make money etc. It's expected of you that you will have financial success, a relationship/marriage, a kid, a house etc. But you don't have any of that yet. But that's ok. And that's very stressful because you have the uncertainty that you might fail at those things. If you keep grinding it out it will come though. In time. But you got to make so e good decisions. Or you are going to stretch out the process longer then nescesairy.

Post and discuss cool new and future technologies here.

What's your policy on giving money to homeless people? Somehow I always attract homeless people/people in trouble asking me for money. It has always been that way. Lately it seems extra bad. But damn I already gave away 20 bucks today. And half a pack of cigarettes. And it has been a trend lately. I have gone through a rough few years lately and I am in a much better place now. I also feel like I am having a lot more liberal political shift lately. So I feel like helping people out when I see they are in need now I am doing good for myself. But it seems to be written on my forehead now. How do you go about these things?

When you are at a standoff with another person to have both your selfish needs met. How do you find common ground? Let's say I am becoming aware of my own ego/selfishness. Then I can choose to not be selfish and let go of my selfish needs. Yet then again that means/feels like I have to submit to the other person's selfishness. How do you let go of your own selfishness without submitting to the other person's selfishness? If I would submit the other person to my selfishness then 'I win' only for the other person to develop a grudge because they are not having their selfish needs met. So in the end I don't really win, I loose. The Irony being me not wanting to loose is still a selfish need.

@Autumn Have you seen the episode Nosedive of the TV series Black Mirror? It's what is possible if social media is taken further in the future. We are already making steps towards it with the Uber ranking system etc.

Why would you start moving people around like cattle? I think the obvious answer would be to provide them jobs, housing, education, healthcare, state financial support, etc.

I have been sitting with this trying to do nothing and then I came up with this. I have been seriously angry.

I am having a hunch that the Stage Orange reply is to make the other person submit to my selfish needs. The Stage Green attitude might be to let go of my selfish needs, and be accepting of the other person's selfish needs, and love their ignorance. What would be a better way then the two mentioned above?

When I just joined Actualized.org forum I used to have a picture of a flower field. It's a memory of mine. When I was boxing we did these drills on the heavy bag until exhaustion and then we would go way beyond exhaustion. When it would become particularly bad my trainer would shout "think about the flower fields". The pain would get so great that the body would literally disconnect from the mind, to the point where it was like you are just observing the body from the outside. With the ability to go much harder from that point like there was no exhaustion anymore. Although it still hurt like crazy. And in my head I really would just see beautiful flower fields. To me it really was like a spiritual thing. I kind of wanted to go back to the beginning. So I googled a flower field. And I liked this picture. Once it was up I actually realized it was yellow. It happens to be the color of Stage Yellow. But that was not intentional. I don't call myself Yellow. But the picture might be a good reminder of what could be/should be.

From my point of view it's just time to shift gears. Relationships got to develop. Nothing wrong with what you have been doing because you got to this point. Now it's time for a new chapter in yours relationship. As long as the other person is on the same page it should work out. That's just part of the art of a long-term relationship.

Can this thread be moved to the Health, Fitness, Nutrition forum?

I got this great idea for a life purpose. It's called Mensendieck. I don't think too many people are familiar with it so I have posted a few links below. https://www.mensendieckmedipoint.nl/engels/why-exercise-therapy-mensendieck/ https://www.trainyourposture.com/the-mensendieck-method.html https://www.movementhealth.com.au/news/dr-bess-mensendieck/ https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mensendieck_system In short it's a system that focusses on body posture. It's in line with physical therapy. I have personal experience with Mensendieck. When I was 15 years old I had bad posture. Hunching over etc. My mother made me go to this lady who practiced Mensendieck and she straightened me completely out. When you go there it feels like you are wearing a corset afterwards. Your posture is completely corrected. Then you go home with homework assignments to do. Like so many pushups, so many leg raises, and other calisthenic exercises. Very well balanced out. To keep your posture corrected. And then you follow up with appointments to keep your progress going. In like 6 months you will have a dramatic improvement in your posture. The benefits are both mental and physical. More confidence, happier, and better health. It also prevents diseases down the line. Recently I have wanted to go to a Mensendieck therapist again. Some bad habits sneaked up in me again. Now the thing is, there are no Mensendieck therapists in the USA where I live now. Most of the Mensendieck therapists are in Holland, Europe. Then it dawned on me. If someone would go to Holland and learn the Mensendieck system and would bring it back to the USA it could become a great hit. I think there would be a great need for the Mensendieck system everywhere in the world. It would be very beneficial for the well being of people. Also I think you could make a lot of money starting up a Mensendieck clinic in a city like New York, LA, or San Fransisco for example. It would be a very good business move. It would be a life purpose that would help out a lot of people and it could make you a lot of money. I got a good career as it is. Therefore I am hesitant to pursue it myself. But I am sure there are a lot of people on this forum that are interested in things like Yoga, physical therapy, and healthy living. So maybe I have brought up an idea for you. Feel free to steal it ?
