Butters

Well that's nice. And your channel wouldn't get any traction because the video makes people feel bad. Unless your curse video makes people feel good, in which case that's not a curse. Yes this.

Yes, I think not looking at my phone for the first couple of hours of the day so I have a clear mind to think made the biggest difference. By constantly being reactive to notifications (events) you sacrifice your ability to think. Same for YouTube, I always thought it was smart to watch educational videos but 95% is just going past me anyway, it's not concentrated study.

Oh nice share, thanks so much! 👌

I use chatgpt often to contemplate or verify ideas. However I notice my brain must get a little dopamine hit when chatgpt replies with "you're absolutely right" or "yes", I really enjoy when it confirms my ideas. Do you think this is dangerous? Mainly the danger would be that I only give it partial input and can steer it into a certain direction by the way I frame my question.

So I did this yesterday and I'm quite happy with the results. I ended up mostly meditating and contemplating. Apart from resetting dopamine the added benefit was all the contemplating I did which gave me some good insights. Did end up cooking a meal at night but abstained from screens. It made me realize how much I am addicted to checking for notifications. Even reading texts after waking up causes tiny stress, and causes my brain to go in that direction (reactive). I'd recommend it, even if it's just to gain insight into your own screen / phone behavior.

Rhonda Byrne, Bob Proctor, Esther Hicks, these are similar teachings to what I am talking about. Are you saying they're wrong?

But I was hoping if I keep raising my vibration that I'll be able to pretty much construct my reality consciously, by focusing my loving attention on the things I want and not on anything I don't want. Edit: then why am I talking about this... well who knows. I get curious about these things.

So I am to the effect of life, and I have little control over it? Because another question would be; to what extend do I control my reality? Famous quote: "when you change the way you look at a thing, the thing you look at changes". So we take this deeper and then I look at a person like you who has gone so deep into consciousness work, I'd expect you to be able to consciously construct your reality in this very moment, like a grand master of manifestation, so I don't understand why you're talking about these things. I'd expect you to go closer to oneness (non-duality), not black pill (duality). I will need to further contemplate my stake in this, because I just want to create my dream life, and black pill doesn't fit in that at all, or in self-help in general.

Is he just holding his camera in every girl's face like that?

Try dating a girl who works in a hospital.

What I mean is: Leo has said for example "Trump is a narcissist". Well, by speaking that into existence, Leo has created that. Why? This makes it seem like Leo is at the effect of life, not at the cause.

No. I just don't understand, the above seems like a paradox to me. I see other spiritual teachers emphasize raising your vibration while Leo, who supposedly has reached some of the highest states imaginable, is here talking about politics.

Wait you didn't hit that? Now I'm mad at you bro wtf

Day 225: What if life is always a spiritual journey, no matter which path you take? I haven't done stand-up in a while and my mind is now fully focused on business as I slowly become more emerged in this vision. It's a journey of becoming more disciplined, a journey into the self. It's tremendous. Imagine what I could do 5 - 10 years from now if I just stuck to the discipline of ruthlessly working on my personal brand, my business and myself. Dopamine detox: Personal brand:

Day 219: Even though I feel quite embarrassed by these small numbers, I promised to post when I had some profit so here we go. Notes: This is on a brand new Etsy shop selling PoD candles. I had another shop where I started selling ornaments in October but it got banned right away. If that hadn't happened the numbers would be much higher. Also if I wasn't so stupid to have my old Etsy shop banned I wouldn't even be in this situation but whatever. December 2024: Etsy sales: $5309.42 Amazon sales: $115.84 Ebay sales: $22.99 Cost of goods: $3521.81 Ad costs: $495 Etsy fees: $673.08 December Profit: $758 November 2024: Etsy sales: $2216.55 Cost of goods: $1463 Etsy ads: $157 Etsy fees: $273 November Profit: $323.55

Charlie is criminally undersubscribed on YT in my opinion. This video touches on mindset and routines, highly recommend if you're an entrepreneur:

I just found this blog post from Leo from 2017, hope it's okay I quote the whole thing here, it is trippy. Is this a description of insanity? https://www.actualized.org/insights/hitting-rock-bottom Jesus

Being hyper aware of my surroundings and inner world at the same time makes me uncomfortable in public. But being distracted (unaware) always counters the panick attack. Why? So unawareness = comfort? Awareness = discomfort? When not in public, it's in reverse. At home I love the heightened awareness. 😑

The first time he was in the hospital was this summer. He had been drinking and then he blacked out in his home and lay there on the floor for 4 days before the police broke in. Then he was in a coma in the hospital. Then he awoke again and he recovered. After a month or so he was back home and doing well. Unfortunately this time is much different. He was doing quite well until he started drinking again a few weeks ago. He was found by the police in his home confused and taken to the hospital. He is confused, making up facts. He is quite unpleasant, the worst version of himself it seems. The doctors say he's had a delirium and some sort of infection. Not really sure. The first time was much easier to stomach for me because of the timeline. He didn't wanna die, and he fought for his recovery. We all cheered for his recovery and he recovered. it seemed like such a positive story. This time it's like his soul is completely gone, no more spark in his eye, only a shimmer of his absolute worst version. The version I always despised growing up, the version that's an alcoholic. I've done a lot of thinking and I understand that from an absolute perspective none of it is his fault (the drinking, his behavior etc.). But I also understand my own position. As the child of an alcoholic parent you have to take on so much, it's not fair. I find it very difficult to visit this version of my dad at the hospital. The version that is just dark, soulless. He seems completely gone, just stuck in a loop of material thinking, cut off from source. There's no self awareness from his end, nothing really comes in. At first I didn't wanna visit because I was really annoyed that we were all there supporting him last summer and then he drinks himself into the hospital again, which seems like such a lack of respect or acknowledgements to those around him who care for him. But then I actually saw him yesterday and it's just ... nothing. Just an empty shell. Now I don't feel blame or guilt, I just experience ego backlash. Needless to say I've been making enormous leaps forward in my personal development and consciousness lately, and this is how the universe works and tests us.

Really great life advice for young and old

Yes I know these things, I'm 35 and I've lived on my own since I was 18. I really feel I've already gone through most of the process and my emotional attachment now is about 1 percent where it used to be 100. It's more like a post mortum analysis for me at this moment. I know to distance myself from it emotionally.

Ok thank you but in my case I think I am well over my social anxiety, it's just a very mild panic 3/10 times on the subway and that is all 😬 no panic actually talking to people or anywhere else.

Because at home I work on my business all day. The transition period is where I get panick, like straight from home getting onto the subway for example.

Most gurus put their best stuff on YT for free, and their video course isn't that valuable. Most value there comes from the buyer making a financial investment, so they're more committed to follow through with the program. I'd prefer a high-ticket mentorship program or access to some private community.
