      ​@@NerdySabbathExactly. What all do you know about yt algorithm surveiling us? Bc no one seems to notice or much discuss the length they go to. I mean, I'll wear a black and red plaid jacket and next thing you know, there are several yt shorts that have someone wearing the same color jacket. So many examples, but even when other people I know send me stuff sometimes, I've noticed that the backg4ound and interior layout in the shorts they send are are oddly reminiscent of their own homes. Shits unnerving and people I mention it to believe I'm crazy for the extent I say they take it to. I've had it be aware of some seriously creepy shit, like a near identical depiction of a monster I saw in my dream as the thumbnail to the first video on my page after waking up at 4am from a nightmare. Am I schizo? lol

    Love this! Happiness is a state of being not a goal that’s something you can only learn with age if you’re always waiting for outside things and circumstances to make you happy you will never be happy. It’s all about being grateful for any and every blessing and taking life as it comes I need this type of reminder periodically 😅

      We all have sinned, and have broken God’s law (The Ten Commandments). Wrong doing deserves justice and must be punished (just like how a criminal has to pay for the crime they have committed) but God saved us from the eternal punishment of our sins by sending His Son Jesus Christ to pay the penalty for us, so that we may have everlasting life. Now for you to accept the free gift of grace, you must repent of your sins and put your faith in Jesus Christ and you will you be saved from eternal punishment, and be given everlasting life. By faith you will receive the Holy Spirit and He will transform your heart and clean you from the inside out. Turn away from sin, read Bible, pray for Jesus to reveal Himself to you and change you, seek to do what is right according to the Bible. Much love and God bless.

    it's such a paradox but it truly make sense. After listening for the second time, now I hear or understand what is being said. When we talk about our own development, enlightenment.. etc it just proves that we are not there yet and it is just standing in our way to reach that state. How brilliant!!
    But, when we reach that state of "lightness" we are in a great flow with the all universe and that feeling is indescribable because WE DON'T KNOW THAT WE KNOW 🙌

    I have written a few 4 line poems that I hope are thought provoking and reflective.
    Here goes.......
    Without a hand
    Life can be hard
    But through our journey
    We find who we are.
    When life is hard
    And love leaves you blind
    Dont leave hope
    Or peace behind.
    Better when I saw you
    Missed you when you left
    Why is love
    So much like theft.
    I had a bow and arrow
    I held them in my hands
    I fired high into the sky
    Not knowing where it would land.
    Without thoughts and dreams
    We are but a shell
    But, our thoughts and dreams
    Can kill us as well.
    Having found an island
    Out here on my own
    I brought my insecurities
    So I'm never alone.
    I thank you for reading
    Boom chanka

      Meditation to start bc you have to be able to quiet your mind. I agree with breath-work also bc you can’t enter flow without the proper breathing. If your thinking your not breathing properly

    Ive recently become disilussioned wih this idea of self-consciousness being a complete mistake and fall from grace. It seems many eastern philosphies hold this. Isn't this what makes us human? Isn't it the most cool thing ever? Yes the ego can be detrimental in many ways but I think it can be integrated instead of done away with (and yes those seem to me to be different things).
    Yes no other animal has morals, but we do, why is that bad? No other animal makes rules and tells eachother what to do, but why is that so bad? I think you can be "happy", "authentic", "childlike", etc, alongside an intact sense of self.

      The ego isnt really there. It is just a bundle of emotions, stories and thoughts. So it is only sort of an illusion of a person.
      They say that when this is realized on a deep level, the illusion weakens and falls away. And you see things clearly.

      @@5Dworld Sort of agree, it makes us see that we are not our thoughts, thus reducing our anxiety. We overthink stuff less, making us live life instead of thinking about living it. I'm just saying there's also such a thing as underthinking.
