I can see this. Correct. But we also do things to others too. It's not one-sided -- E.g. I'm the victim, not entirely! It's the Nature of Relation, in sickness and in health. This is the entryway to Love.

But everybody has done this from time to time. And often suffering is good when it leads to change that is good. I'm not sure suffering stems from an improper use of the mind.

You have to create your own corner of reality where you are deserving, but you also need to relate with others too. Ideally, this is a win-win relation. This requires maturity and owning up to mistakes, no matter who is at fault. And forgiveness.

Thanks for this. I will consider this advice carefully. Nothing wrong with money, don't get me wrong. I don't want to be underserving my life purpose or devaluing money. Money comes as a byproduct of success -- which should be the natural result to an effective career-based life purpose.

This is what interests me the most right now actually. I've become more interested in self-help recently.

One of my favorite post rock albums from an Australian band.

I seriously only think about money when I feel like I don't have enough. Otherwise money never crosses my mind. I have no desire to live extravagantly. In fact, I probably could pare down my life and reduce my expenses even more than I do.

He finally found love lol. -
I don't see why anyone would need to do this more than once honestly. I smoked it didn't plug it to be clear and honest. I don't do plugging. I feel no need to do 5-MEO again. The Message was conveyed clearly the only time I did it. You need a Breakthru dose. I'm not an expert in psychedelics either. I don't even do psychedelics anymore.

I use ChatGPT all the time to run things by. Sometimes it has a very stage yellow perspective that I really appreciate. I tell it to not BS me and give it to me straight to try to correct for bias. Most of the time I am impressed that it noticed some things I missed without the collaboration. It's a fine tool. -

Sort of true. But you can also cause someone to consider something new, to the extent that it is tolerated within a system. -

This is known as a closed system no? It's designed to be closed, by ignorance or motive to control mostly. -
Ok, so we can deconstruct, but when are we allowed to re-construct?

Which is kinda of the Neo-Advaita focus on the idea that -- thought is false or misleading.

What is a belief?

Yes. Beauty is a Dance.

This sounds like the Promise of Science almost.

Is there a hard distinction between inquiry and fantasy?

Absolute Love involves Feeling, and recognition of Unitive Relation IMO. Like Truth it's hard to point to in words.
