@Bodhi123 I do love me some LoA & HUP! I feel like I went full circle, and back to my "life", and then it is like "ok, soooo now I can pick whatever thoughts, philosophies, etc that I want? And I'll just die eventually either way? Ya, I'm pickin all happy ones." And then, I'll be damned, that shit works! The LoA is crazy in it's surface level and depth, isn't it? When I mention it to my best friend of 29 years, he's like "ya, that's cool, just don't give them money or anything". Meanwhile, he's arguing with the wife, stressed about work, etc. On a good note, he started meditating just 2 weeks ago & lost 30 pounds since Jan 1!!!!! He'll be LoAing down the road!!!

@PureExp Uncertain is good in my book too! If I'm ever totally certain somebody better wake me up! "Certainty - it's a well known unknowable unknown" - The Buddha In all seriousness though, I truly appreciate you PureExp! You go the distance and I respect the hell out of you for it! Thanks again!!! You too JSE!!!! I appreciate you!!!! You rock man. Your insights are eye opening for me. I am learning a lot from you both. I really love this shit. Going to mention you both on my blog, I hope you don't mind. http:/yourebothright/becauseof/theuncertaintyprinciple.com

@Ludwig I love it. It's my favorite shake (with ice, banana and peanut butter, and chocolate milk) and it tastes great to me. It has everything I need in it. I go for weeks only having three of these a day and I find it to be similar to fasting but with unlimited energy. Eventually of course I eat some solid food, and I like that experience, but honestly I always notice a tiny 'slow down' effect on my body, intuition and clarity when I do. More of a loss of connection I think than a 'slow'.

@LRyan Yes. No buts. Just an and then.

@ajs Don't forget, you're a fuckin ass kicker! You're the unstoppable force! Sports brought that out of you. Now you get to use it. You've done 99% of that work already.

Not much difference really between this post and the What makes woman sexy post. Just interesting.

You said you are experiencing anger, so I was trying to be helpful by asking what your beliefs are that your experiences are not fitting with.

@SLICKHAWK hangin in there bruh?

Choice is hard to grasp

What are you?

Congrats. What to do now

Yes

@MochaSlap In my perfect world, everyone plays an instrument. When we hang out, it's just a jam. No need for as much talking. I love music, I love losing myself, I love coming back. Best of luck to you in this and all your endeavors!

It's everything, not nothing.

Yes

Lol. Nice. in the end though, oddly, it just leaves me more uncertain. ? "Total Zeroness"?

@jse It's just my understanding, but I think the "classical argument for the unknowable" was resolved with the uncertainty principle. It shows that the error was in our thinking that the particle was in a specific place to begin with, which it was not. It was in superposition.

Honesty is the foundation

Itches are a good sign. It's your brain sending an 'itch' to your body to see if the body is still awake, since the brain can't tell between 'real' and 'in the mind'. Don't scratch em, and you'll soon be conscious without being able to feel the spacial location of your body, which is a nice break. Try doing 30 - 60 minutes of cardio before meditation. It should solve your falling asleep issue. Do both in the morning too.

I don't know man, this dog looks smart af. That's contemplation in those eyes.

Ya. Einstein was no Einstein I guess. If we can't imagine something we have not experienced, how did we go to the moon, or invent tablets, or discover cells, or write new stories, invent new characters, or write sci-fi movies, or find America, or create vibrators? You solve that vibrator mystery PureExp, and I think you're really on to somethin.

Supply and demand is a misnomer. There is no shortage of anything. Demand and value is perception. There is no shortage of diamonds, art, money, food, water, etc. Art sells for tens of millions of dollars because someone has billions of dollars. It is relative to the psych issues of the potential buyers. So if you want to make money as an artist, learn some psychology and marketing. You can create & market a demand, or if you want the big money, you had better accomplish some serious transcendence and don't be shy about people hearing your story. It's your story they pay for. A billionaire thinks they can buy someone's story and now it's their story. This Jackson Pollock painting sold for around $150,000,000. He accomplished the perfect recipe: Known to be a recluse. Struggled with alcoholism / addiction He was an asshole to people and was kicked out of multiple schools He transcended the art produced before his life So definitely don't do what anyone else has done (lot's PD time likely here) and it doesn't hurt one bit to tell some newspaper art critics that you'll give them a percentage what you make those big bucks. Good luck! Post some of your work here? Please

Yes. Nonthinking is the way. But, I guess I only say that now, after so many years of thinking, just to see nonthinking.

"If you really want to be free of your problems, tell them to an owl"

@Venus Sounds like there is a lot of stand still from seeing both sides of things. Do you really meditate every morning? If so, what kind of meditation? With regards to the beliefs, do you see any corilations between how your parents were / are, what beliefs you created with regard to them? Is this processes helping at all to see that much of your suffering is just from these beliefs? Is letting go of them because they're just beliefs within sight yet? The relief that will come?
