Maybe we are one of those newborn superhuman AIs... (relatively speaking)

Some say too much cruciferous vegetables can inhibit thyroid function but if you feel fine then don’t worry about it, broccoli is awesome

The particle absolutely does NOT have a position and velocity prior to measurement. There is no “particle” prior to measurement, merely a superposition of potentials (at least, according to QM). It doesn’t make sense to talk about it’s position and velocity, only probabilities of them given knowledge of the surrounding system. Our measurement literally creates the particle. And even then, it’s not really a particle. It’s just a collection of information about the size, shape, mass, and other qualities of the appearance of a particle. If the double slit experiment is not convincing enough that consciousness plays a fundamental role, check out the delayed choice quantum eraser experiment. Wherein the measurement is made after the supposed particle crosses the double slit barrier, but before it hits the detector. When doing this, the wave function is collapsed and nature loads a back-history of the particle as if it had always been one and traveled through one slit or the other (even though if we let it hit the detector it would yield an interference pattern). But, no physical measurements were made at the slits. And yet, the particle behaved as a normal particle at the barrier (seemingly). Nothing physical could have effected it whatsoever. Many physicists try hard to deny this but it is extremely strong evidence that it is the knowledge of information which collapses the wave function. Nothing physical.

Is ASMR connected to kundalini? It manifests as a tingling sensation traveling up the spine and into the head, which sounds a lot like kundalini to me (which I've seen described as an electric current running up the spine). It seems the more I meditate, the more I experience ASMR. And when listening to an ASMR video (or listening to sounds throughout my day), the more I concentrate on the sound the more likely an ASMR experience is to occur. In fact, I don't remember ever getting ASMR until I started a formal meditation practice a few years back. Additionally, psychedelics seem to make ASMR more likely (especially during the "afterglow"). Idk, am I onto something here or are the two completely separate things? There is not much information online about this, but the two seem nearly identical to me, besides in degree and intensity. Kundalini experiences sound life changing, whereas ASMR is just pleasurable and relaxing.

Rebounding is an excellent workout for your health, while being extremely low impact.

Be patient. I would recommend cleaning your diet up for a while before fasting, unless you’re feeling really inspired to fast. The Whole30 challenge is amazing for this. Diet is crucial but be sure to live an otherwise healthy lifestyle as well. Good sleep is arguably the most important thing, get plenty of it and research how to make it high quality. Stay physically active. Humans are animals, we function best on being up and about for several hours a day. Try to get at least an hour of physical activity in a day. Walking, lifting weights, sprinting, etc. Get outside in nature some. Do things to experience positive emotions. Practice relaxation, etc. And a bit random but an amazing tool for “cleaning your body”... look into “rebounding” (jumping on a trampoline). The movement is amazing for digestion and elimination, getting lymph moving, and overall health and well being. Arguably the single best exercise out there, for health. If interested, be sure to invest in a high quality trampoline, there’s a huge difference between that and a low quality one. Just 10 minutes a day yields profound benefits.

I take full responsibility for this... my fault!

Truth is larger than provability, but that everything is one / connected is reasonably proven.

This. I have generally had the craziest middle of the night experiences while sleeping on my back. Also taping the mouth in general is just a healthy practice. Here's a really comfortable and healthy way to lay down on your back:

@peanutspathtotruth thanks peanut! This is very helpful and I agree 100%. I’m sure looking back in 10 or so years when I’ve mastered music production a lot more there’ll be plenty to cringe over on these earlier tracks. So excited to keep going. I’ve already started the next project / have made more songs since. The first roughly complete track is probably the most busy of all so far ?. I might try to incorporate your advice and get rid of some of the percussion elements, see if it sounds a little better and less crowded. And sick War of Art passage. So true. Back at it tomorrow ??

https://smarturl.it/InSearchOfTheOx Check out my complete, newly released debut album “In Search of the Ox”!! It has been SUCH a blast to make, and I have to thank Leo, the life purpose course, and this community a lot for the inspiration and wisdom to pursue my passion. Now to promote it a lil bit, and then more importantly continue to work on my craft and become so good they can’t ignore me by Cal Newport. Also on bandcamp :-D bandcamp.com/nogifriday

Excited af to have all these up on Apple Music and the like soon!! <3

For some breathing exercises (e.g. the “full yogic breath”), you want to expand and then empty your lungs as fully as possible, which requires you to move your chest (to expand your upper lungs). This can also be the case when exercising heavily. However, for breathing throughout the day (unconsciously, for most of us), it’s best to breathe as softly and gently, with as little movement as possible. So, probably just the belly. This can’t be forced, but can be trained through physical exercise (especially aerobic) and breathing exercises, healthy diet / lifestyle, consciousness work, meditation, relaxation, etc.

What do y’all think about Marriane Williamson’s candidacy for president. Does she stand any chance? Is a president like this right for America / the world now? Can we catapult this high up the spiral?

31 days is extremely hardcore, good luck and stay safe. And consider doing such things under medical supervision. As for maximizing the fast, I would think that immersing yourself in nature (and not in the internet, electronics etc) would be helpful. I would opt for books over internet forums if you need something to do to fill your time.

You gotta take nihilism all the way, and it goes full circle. Everything is completely and utterly meaningless, including the fact that everything is completely and utterly meaningless. If there are any negative connotations to existence being meaningless, that itself is meaning and therefore isn’t true nihilism. (Not that that’s what you do, I’m just saying a lot of people seem to think of nihilism as a negative and bleak perspective on life).

So hold your breath roughly as long as you can each time? Maybe just do a certain number of reps of Kriya Supreme Fire, as opposed to timing it?

So break your posture to start the timer? I would have thought remaining as still as possible is important.

When doing Kriya Supreme Fire, how do you all keep track of how much time you are holding your breath? Mentally count in your head? Does this take away from your concentration?

Enjoy!!

No problem, thank YOU! but you won't read about that in the history books.

They clearly haven't reached the 10th Zen Ox Herding Stage yet : Barefooted and naked of breast, I mingle with the people of the world. My clothes are ragged and dust-laden, and I am ever blissful. I use no magic to extend my life; Now, before me, the dead trees become alive. But yeah, I think there may be something to this ultra longevity stuff.

Yes he did. Mathematicians tried to create a finite, formal set of axioms that was complete (all mathematical statements can be proven true or false), consistent (no contradictions), and decidable (some algorithm should exist which can decide the truth or falsity of any mathematical statement), and that could prove itself to be true. (Hilbert's Program) Godel came and slapped every single Mathematician working on developing such a system hard on the face. But yeah, I agree with everything you're saying.
