@danton I thought J. Krishnamurti, was excellent for improving my awareness. But he talks so slowly..... Came across videos on Youtube, a while a go. Helped expand my awareness. I suppose shifted me away from materialism, even though it has been debunked for the last 300 years in many philosophical and seemingly scientific works, wasn't aware of that. I found his criticism of OSHO interesting. Where he said Guru's are all terrible people, or something like that. Was thinking about getting audiobooks of OSHO's speeches off audible, but after watching some clips, in one he flinched... Plus the whole thing with OSHO followers/cultists hording weapons, and the largest biological terror attack in USA history, bought up some suspicions. "I know nothing Mr Fawlty." As for U.G seems like Schopenhauer Mk2. Believes in nothing, but everything is unity or Brahman.

“Yesterday we obeyed kings and bent our necks before emperors. But today we kneel only to truth, follow only beauty, and obey only love.” Kahlil Gibran.

Process of elimination. 1) If it refers to other works, read the other works. Instead of the regurgitated("recycled") stuff. 2) If it's dogmatic or a complete system be suspicious. 3) Audible is pretty good for books. Scribd is also good. 4) If it's not written in blood, it's probably not worth reading. 5) Have the various metaphysical or meta-psychological positions contrast for supremacy. 6) When in Rome. 7) Use in wood burner.

Eyes bigger than your stomach? Make a God out of Maya: Skrymir, Tengri. A song "Layla" or something.

I accept the climate changes.

Not much idea about Buddhism or Jainism. But, at least according to wikipedia, buddhism is focused more on Maya where as Jainism involves habit. I think Jainism makes more sense. Potentially a more powerful metaphysic.

Average doctor, yeah. Average medical doctor, I would say more than the average footballer. Entertainment is zero sum and healthcare is negative sum. I would say capitalism was created due to time preference.

Antagonist. Blow stuff up have some fun. He's amoral. But as for taking the leading role, Keith Ledger's The Joker dominated. Batman is totally focused on alleviating symptoms, when there is real spiritual poverty. Which Batman makes worse. My Boomerang won't come back.

I think a more interactive forum where you can do voip would be cool, don't necessarily know tone, whether someone is joking, culture etc. "Discord" can be interesting, more about having a presence and awareness. Form at least pseudo relationships. I think heterachy(Horizontal) would be more favourable to a disabled person than a hierarchical structure. Not like communities are as close as they were, in general. Yeah probably presence is important. Can zone out more easily, without perhaps a disability. Might be like, how a blind man listens better.

I suppose humour. "like tears in the rain". Other than that Cold Rage, as hate is effectively a crime. Less attachment as well. Recently bought Sadhguru's inner Engineering Book a Yogi's guide to inner Joy! on Audible. "Joy Joy Feelings". Trust him more than OSHO, will see if I still do after listening to his book. I haven't. For Cold Rage I tend to think of the following execution clip or something like the "Iceman." Play or characters VIEWER DISCRETION IS ADVISED VIETNAM WAR EXECUTION.

I think also important is how empathy is dealt with. Personally I think a Psychopath projects into the world, so will tend to be an empiricist and extroverted, what I mean by that, for instance, is how someone who regularly goes to the gym unprompted, exerts his or her self against the World(social), in a tangible way. Might be like how large land owners or CEO's of high turnover companies might be psychopaths to be able to handle the vast sums of money and resources involved and not blink an eye. Psychopaths are supposedly highly conscientious, which has a social element to it. I suppose while having empathy and appearing normal to most, there is a disconnect somewhere, Werewolves. Have an Ego in the mediating sense, but overcome it, not eliminating or integrating it. While I think having no empathy, is impossible to be born without. It might be possible to approach to having no empathy. Perhaps might be like vampires, no mirror neurons, no reflection, not projecting into the world.

Is conscience and empathy a malleable thing? Yes. But I don't think you can actively grow additional empathy, as I think empathy is related to mirror neurons in the Brain, and aid with social learning, would be like growing another arm or leg. Can only hammer what you have, forging it.

Kind of closing the barn door, after the horse has bolted.

Banged a Whale. Was he trying to make waves or something. Green strikes me more as playing around. I think a lot of people aren't green, but masquerade as such.

Queen's English spelling. Now you have no excuse.

To be consumed? Like Beer.

Vocation instead?

I thought "Trumps Art of The Deal", has a linear quality to it. Talked about how he could make money on the rumour of management changes, or sell stock and make money, can't remember the exact details. "I like to keep my options open". Might be like making payments on a car, either you make the payments and the company gets money through interest, or you don't and they get the car back plus the payments made. Winning either way. Might be a bit like forking someone in Chess.

Carl Jung, Kundalini Yoga, Lecture 2, Pages 39 – 40. Yes. It is the withdrawal from the emotions; you are no longer identical with them. If you succeed in remembering yourself, if you succeed in making a difference between yourself and that outburst of passion, then you discover the self; you begin to individuate. So in anahata individuation begins. But here again you are likely to get an inflation. Individuation is not that you become an ego—you would then become an individualist.You know, an individualist is a man who did not succeed in individuating; he is a philosophically distilled egotist. Individuation is becoming that thing which is not the ego, and that is very strange. Therefore nobody understands what the self is, because the self is just the thing which you are not, which is not the ego. The ego discovers itself as being a mere appendix of the self in a sort of loose connection. For the ego is always far down in muladhara and suddenly becomes aware of something up above in the fourth story, in anahata, and that is the self. Now, if anybody makes the mistake of thinking that he lives at the same time in the basement and on the fourth story, that he is the purusha himself, he is crazy. He is what the German very aptly call verrückt, carried off his feet up to somewhere else. He just sits up there and spins. We are allowed to behold only the purusha, to behold his feet up there. But we are not the purusha; that is a symbol that expresses the impersonal process. The self is something exceedingly impersonal, exceedingly objective. If you function in your self you are not yourself—that is what you feel. You have to do it as if you were a stranger: you will buy as if you did not buy; you will sell as if you did not sell.Or, as St. Paul expresses it, “But it is not I that lives, it is Christ that liveth in me,” meaning that his life had become an objective life, not his own life but the life of a greater one, the purusha. ~ --------------------------------------------- So as a crude model? A distilled Ego, Individualist, would be something like the dot in the middle with arrows pointing towards. The individuated person would be the dot in the middle with the arrows pointing outwards. In which case I could see why people, may become psychotic, from perhaps doing kundalini. --------------------------------------------- My question is, can anyone recommend any Kriya Yoga videos on Youtube, or perhaps a site dedicated to such a thing? I found this site http://www.kriyayogainfo.net/ videos of the guy clucking his tongue was a bit bizarre, the only thing I can think of is, I don't know, mimicking some kind of frequency the various parts of the body may respond to. Bit like how parents sometimes talk to the child in the womb. A lack of contact also kills a new born, heard something about that happening in Romanian orphanages. Overloads their opiate system or something. I came across a Book called "The Serpent Power." by Sir John Woodroofe alias Arthur Avalon. It's not on the Booklist, what I'm looking for is the most refined I can get, looking more at the past, to try and avoid any fads or corruption in the present. EDIT: Thought the following video was interesting with Carl Jung talking about a patient and finally Kundalini briefly.

Alcohol is a depressant. So I would say you may or may not, have a level of awareness or no awareness, but as for consciousness no.

Read on wikipedia and in "Plutarch Roman Lives" that in ancient Rome there were two main factions. "The Optimates." and "The Populares". Basically the Populares under Julius Caesar, defeated the Optimates by A) Using the Treasury to Bribe People. (By taking out large debts) B) Superior Military Skill. A & B are basically the same thing, Subversion.

---------------Concern Trolling.---------------------- The guy talks about responsibility, but frequently lies. For teaching responsibility I would have thought a drill sergeant would be better. Something like this is your rifle, you will give your rifle a girls name and be responsible for her. Read the Bible(Read a bit) don't listen to the priests, hear them sure. Get the root, not the leafs. Some of the books and information he recommends I think are excellent. His interpretation and lying is not. He's also highly political. How does politics and Truth go together?

You're telling me not to believe, but if everything is perfect my believe is fine. There are recorded phenomena of some sort of concept of a void, or conception of absolute, Spinoza and John Stuart Mill, probably many many more. Colour I think maybe in someway related to other factors such as the sensation of hot and cold, read something about it in Goethe Theory of Colours. Also if you shift your perception colours may appear redder or bluer as they move further away or closer towards, Red and Blue shift, perhaps like various holographic images. I think believe, also relates to choice. Well a notion exists, such as a musical note, for example. Its not an idea or concept, you may not be able to perceive, or loss the perception of various notes however. Well as you say it does not exist, your suggestion of observation is pointless.

@Emerald Evil is not a concept, idea or subjective interpretation. I believe it exists, perhaps as perception or notion for lack of a better word. I don't see something like death as negative or Evil. Evil is not necessarily uniquely human. I think Good might be beyond conception to God, although parts of creation maybe conceptualised as Good by people. Morality does not beget judgement at all, Morality is ultimately about not knowing, one thing Carl Jung said in his "Answer to Job" is that God is not moral if he is all knowing.
