Your thoughts determine the world that you experience.

every interview you bring straight 🔥🔥and hold nothing back about the reality of the dollar and our current financial system. much respect.

The grievances you are holding onto are imprisoning you. Let them go.

It may be helpful to ask your internal teacher for direction on how to let go of your grievances, to move toward the goal of removing all conflict in your life. Beyond everything else, you want this.

Nice try FBI

Are you mind full or mindful?

pour over is king in my house. on the road, i enjoy my aeropress.

In this life, we review mentally what has already gone by.

What we believe and have made real about ourselves within will be directly reflected in what we perceive outside, because the inner and outer are the same.

“And you shall be forever known as a pre-ETF bitcoiner.”

Perhaps it is the ETF approval that denotes a time in bitcoin’s history that separates those who were in before and those afterward.

While re-watching The Truman Show, one of my favorite movies as a young adult, I was struck by what the show’s creator, Christof, had to say about the nature of our reality and our childish belief in it.

Here’s the dialogue (Mike is interviewing Christof):

Mike Michaelson: Christof, let me ask you, why do you think that Truman has never come close to discovering the true nature of his world until now?

Christof: We accept the reality of the world with which we're presented. It's as simple as that.

We take our lives here for face value and assume all of this is real. I mean, it must be, because it feels real, doesn’t it? If you can see something, touch it, use it, it’s real, right? Your decision to believe it makes it real for you.

Later on at the end of the movie, when Christof is speaking with Truman directly, he says something revealing while pleading with Truman to stay in the show:

Christof: Listen to me, Truman. There's no more truth out there than there is in the world I created for you. The same lies. The same deceit.

What Christof said there is similar to how our ego pleads with us when we begin to question our seeming reality on earth, in physical bodies. The ego doesnt want us to use our Right Mind and more specifically the decision-making part of our minds because it was that mind that created the ego in the first place. We still have that same power to choose once again by withdrawing our belief in the ego and along with it, its entire thought system. Our ego wants nothing more than to convince us we would prefer life as separated, individual bodies with special identities waiting to die on this psycho planet.

the only “conflict” you have is your mistaken identification with the ego. everything stems from this.

Our minds are the only hope we have of escaping the prison the ego has made to be our home.

Your conflict is not external to you. Don’t be afraid to look within.

You must learn to change your mind about your mind. Only by this can you learn that it is changeless.

Just consolidated dozens of UTXOs. being obsessed with the mempool and the fluctuations of the #btc tx fees wasn’t helping my peace of mind. traded some precious sats for a quieter mind. fair deal.

we continually try to make a hierarchy of our experiences, believing some things are important and others are not. in truth, they are the same (in content) though the form may appear different. An illusion is an illusion is an illusion.

We are not upset because of what is outside, but only because of the way we are looking at what is outside. nostr:note1esqfhu70rufl2dk2kzmvegqgpnwd32fzkc4uw9s9gyk8nv730wyqpr674t

All disturbances, no matter how big or small, are equally upsetting to your peace of mind.

The reality is you are not upset (or irritated, angry, etc) for the reasons you think.
