  1. This is still a story about enlightenment.
  2. What is weird to me is the denial of morality, but then this is expressed so strongly in an almost unconscious way where -- you realize this person is consumed by morality actually.
  3. The duality between a recommended focus and a distraction.
  4. I think and feel that one can become enlightened, but they have to do it.
  5. Some people have a calling for God before they even learn about spirituality.
  6. I haven't blocked anyone on here. You are free to comment on anything I say.
  7. I thought we had one lol.
  8. I disagree, I am not stating the obvious. But we disagree anyway, so I have no desire to argue with you further here.
  9. You don't ever lose your ego or "finite self" completely. You have to figure out how your" higher teachings" interface with your life.
  10. This is just my opinion so take it as only that. I do not see a strict duality between religion and spirituality. I think that is an unnecessary wall or boundary to make.
  11. The dominant cognitive function of the INTP is Introverted thinking or Ti.
  12. A problem is a lot of us pick the wrong life purpose. Life purpose is a very tricky thing because you can't outsmart it. If you can get it right, you're lucky. A lot of us stumble over this issue for many years. Life purpose is deep.
  13. I guess it really comes down to who are you trying to be?
  14. I've changed my mind a lot recently about how to create good music. It is a process. It is hard to reconcile theory and practice. I've been playing a lot of pop tunes without vocals on piano and trumpet and realizing that the key is to -- play with chords and augment with scales. That will give you the most flexibility to improvise and not play bad notes. And you will learn the major and minor scales this way too. You have to do this as a musician. You grow by playing things that inspire you to learn these chords and scales. And this is just the start.
  15. Try to raise the creativity to co-creation and inclusion. This is extending the link or relation.
  16. You can do anything if you have the right will and motivation despite genetics. Genetics seems like a limiting belief and almost a distraction to me.
  17. It seems like INTPs are really attached to thinking. They can also be playful with thoughts or words usually in my experience.
  18. Dating from a masculine perspective is a really complex issue I find.
  19. Nikki Sixx is pretty good with insight. He's intuitive.
  20. This is a really great video on the variation of judgment of taste. Notice how you can see a truth that is mediated by perspective but you also register an "I can see it like that" even if you don't.
  21. Spirituality is not inherently separate from relationship work.
  22. Yes. Especially the addiction to build walls between people instead of bridges.
