I got ....."idea"....just now. how about the opposite of this (along with this) WHAT YOU DON'T FOCUS ON.... SHRINKS No font so put it in italics.

Imo, body mind is a physical entity, like a machine and consciousness is the software that runs on it. If the hardware is bad, the software cannot last long. If the software is bad, the hardware loses its value. But in case of body mind the connection is deeper and the correlation is stronger so they impact each other equally.

@Snick Ghost in the Machine.

What if consciousness appear in body-mind ?

That's the error of the century ! We always push it on "someone." But that someone doesn't exist. We are puppets of an invisible system. We don't know who is governing us anymore. Who has the power to do anything ? When somebody tries to take power, it is snatched out of their hands by the very society that wants these things to change. Nobody can have ultimate control. Anybody who tries to gain control has to eventually let go because his own survival is put to risk. Look at Milo for instance. He talks about such things very openly. So what does he get in return. He has to be accompanied by security everywhere. Even the person who might really want to do something about all this is eventually targeted, demonized and then stripped of all his power and rendered incapable and helpless. We live in such strange times that even a comment from a president might lead to his impeachment. This is a disaster already. The problem is not that there are no resources to deal with this. The real problem is that everything is so politicised these days that it is almost impossible to take a single action without massive backlash which leads to the action being aborted. There should be freedom of speech and freedom of action. The media gives a massive empathetic coverage of such incidents as though it really cares about the public. At the same time when somebody tries to take a strong stance against such things, the same media engages in name calling, constant criticism and judgment. The same media enjoys every opportunity to bring that person down. The media in some ways is the biggest enemy of our times. If somebody wants to take responsibility then he should at least be allowed to take responsibility and do what is required. We're puppets of an invisible system.

This is really simple and good. Thanks for sharing.

Do you think it's important to restrict that hour particularly to early morning hours or is it okay to adjust that hour anywhere through the time of the day. I mean when I think of doing it in evenings, it gets really discouraging because more than half the day has had already passed until then. So the feeling is like what's the point of doing it so late you know. So do you limit that hour to morning alone or do you rotate it throughout the day as desired ?

Oh ya, I can't believe how easy this seems to be. I never thought that lack of motivation was connected to depression. But now it makes sense. You can't believe it but no guru or expert out there gives this kind of suggestion. You pay them tons of money and they give crazy complicated planners and schedules that are impossible to stick to. And they always make it out to be about laziness instead of identifying the problem at the root. Plus they always put a lot of pressure that the schedule has to be followed strictly or else it's a failure on the part of the client. It's so unbelievable how experts in the field complicate even the simplest things

Oh wow, it's good. Actually I never thought of it in this way. I always thought of it in a strictly goal oriented fashion like it has to be perfect or else it's not working. But this idea is excellent. I guess this is the best approach to laziness and fixation. Because we can't get rid rid of old habits in a dayt. And we don't realize that it requires time and patience to gradually unwind out of the past/old patterns. I guess this is behaviour related rathrr than laziness or tiredness.

@Annetta how did you get this idea ? Did you read about it somewhere. Even I struggle with this. But it seems this is easy. Just need to start with 1 hour initially.because we usually tend to start off with mega goals and I guess that kinda discourages the effort.

Did this really work out for you ?

An oldbie reading this post

Maybe a routine blood test will you figure out what's wrong. Have you tested your blood sugar (especially since you mentioned you eat junk food). Extreme tiredness can be a symptom of a hidden disease. Maybe other tests are expensive, but a routine blood and urine test would not cost that much.

In my honest opinion, he seems to me a combination of ENTJ and ESTJ

And you're already extinct !

Yes I'm enlightened

But I was told I am nothing

Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy.................

Wow then that's a good thing. You get a one stop destination for all of your self-actualization needs. What more could you ask for. Why do you want to read a million books. Leo is giving everything in all of his videos all compressed and readily available. Great. Just irresistible right. I love his videos...

Another thing I wanted to add and that is when you are cold approaching people and if they find you struggling to come up with topics to talk about, you might come off as someone trying to hard to get their attention or as a needy/desperate person and that might push them away instead of attracting them to you. You need to appear independent and detached, not disinterested but detached as though you don't really need them. Plus there should be a common link between you and them. For example, let's say you bring up Alan Watts in your discussions but if they have hardly ever heard of Alan Watts, then there is really no use because there is no way to extend that discussion. You kinda come at a crossroads. So you should be able to talk about stuff that they can relate to. You will need to be selective in your approaches. For example, if you're not interested in music and you come across a group at a concert and they're all talking about music, its best to avoid the bunch because you don't share common interests with them so obviously they'd get bored after talking to you for a while because there is no connection. So search a group that has common interests. If you like to talk about meditation, search groups that are interested in it too.

@electroBeam To me this doesn't appear to be a problem,rather a natural consequence of what you are doing. I mean if I were in a group and if someone randomly approached my group, I would prefer to be silent or just give boring generic answers. There is always a lingering feeling of distrust and there would be questions running through my mind like what is this person doing here. We live in a very unstable world and the rising crime stats do not make it any easier to trust a stranger. Conversely, I'd be more open and intuitive with someone that I've known since a long time so there will be some sort of connection and flow in the conversation. You need to take into account another factor and that is the people you are interacting with are not very familiar with your history/background just as you're unfamiliar with their's. So they don't have much to go on with. They don't know what to ask you. And the fact that you're probably meeting them for the first time makes it difficult to bring up more stuff to talk about. You might have to hang around with the kind of folks that are not very apprehensive about unfamiliar people. The ones who are more open to cold approaches and who have the same mental needs as you. The ones who are free to engage in conversations and readily available to hang out with anywhere anytime.

You mean it has nothing to do with bioenergy of humans?

I so envy
