Either a bug or unquoting on phone isn't available.

To start with, it'd be useful to become aware of your disposition: What am I feeling right now? What is my attitude and mood at the moment? Is it possible that I somehow generate my own emotional state and overall experience? Is it caused by the current circumstances? Can you create excitement? Intent to do that as a real event with no external stimuli pushing you to react accordingly.

@Ishanga These videos are fine–giving advice on lifestyle. Promoting "faith" is the issue.

Celebrimbor has something to say to the haters of RoP:

Sadhguru keeps talking about weird shit occasionally. Are you just going to take his word at face value?

The cost of honesty.

@Something Funny Fellowship? Yeah, I like LOTR, especially Return of the King. And don't kill me, but I'm also fond of Rings of Power.

By emotion, do you mean excitement?

Discipline is producing an outcome that wouldn't naturally come about as a result of your already established drives.

@mattm33 @Nemra

There's a meme right there.

It depends on how you hold the distinctions. Simply, if you do it, intent has occurred. No emotional component is necessary.

Breaking Bad? You should watch it first.

I wouldn't think of transcending suffering and becoming awakened to one's nature as necessarily the same pursuit. They may complement and empower each other, though. Other than that, if it is coming from some sort of real insight or breakthrough, then I'd say it is solid.

CINEMA

Direct experience and it is not a method nor path. If you'd like "difurcations", the second best is likely the true spirit of zen, which is the most barebones, aiming for a direct realization now.

That such a community exists or can exist is already debatable.

I stumbled upon it yesterday. Looks promising.

Come on, try to polish up your posts a bit.

Yeah, that seems to come with the territory. On the other hand, his cult was problematic.

Does Perplexity's pro plan offer access to paid Claude and GPT?

Remember that many people like your song, including me!

It's already quite difficult by itself to find one deeply conscious individual, much less a community. I'd argue that looking for "turquoise" communities is a pipe dream, easily lends itself to fantasizing, and the idea of it would make the community quickly degrade into a social pretension or cult–basically because a model is a model, and people are people.

The Dark Night trilogy is pretty good in my view.
