1. When you're committed, yes. 2. Don't know. But it's a more empowering approach than being a slave to circumstances.

@AndylizedAAY then I don't know of any other solutions -- apart from buying an older version on eBay as Leo suggested above. Having a good-quality keyboard for me is a must. Basically it's the most efficient way to manipulate and organize a lot of text and content. You could also learn to use Obsidian, another modern app. Test things out to see what works best for you.

May be wishful thinking but I'm gonna say Spain.

I want to brag about not having used any phone for two years, approximately between 2015-2018. Good times. Addiction, mostly. We've made our jobs to be entertained and distracted at all times.

Go have sex and get enlightened. Two different matters.

@Dodo fair enough.

That would be study (reading, thinking, researching, figuring out), which is what provides the fertile ground for contemplation to take place. In that case, I'd say that while study is about the mind, contemplation is about becoming conscious and having breakthroughs. Just some thoughts, I haven't looked into this matter deeply.

I prefer to ask questions relentlessly, both to myself and to others. It's an effective strategy for revealing or clearing out one's motives and agenda, and open up possibilities for genuine dialogue and perhaps a shared contemplation, too.

Contemplation isn't limited to thinking, and it seems to me that it can occur independent of thinking. It is setting out to experience whatever is true regarding a particular subject matter. It's grasping something for real. Certainly thinking constantly takes place in the form of internal dialogue, but contemplation creates the space to achieve insights and breakthroughs, which go beyond intellect. Consider the example of Newton and the apple.

@AndylizedAAY maybe it's location-locked. Try using a VPN. If that doesn't work, perhaps use a combination of VPN and installing through the command line:

Radical Honesty, Brad Blanton.

@ZenSwift not specifically on communication, but Stewart Emery and Werner Erhard are pretty good and share your domain of mastery.

Non-violent communication. Contemplate what it really is. Practice it with others, by journaling, in your internal dialogue. Communication is accurately representing your experience as it is. Make a distinction between manipulation and honest communication.

A few of Cristiano Ronaldo's best goals: Also look for Messi's, I'm biased here (Madrid's fan).

Relax, and seek medical help if necessary. This forum is about conscious living and love.

Torturing a bull for entertainment is a cultural activity. The bull badly hurting the bullfighter is tragic.
