POV: you love music but there are no songs that capture how you feel the light and darkness in equal depth so you write your own.

It’s challenging to let go of something that no long serves you, but once saved you. 🫂

Encountered this cute little stand on my walk along the sea wall.

Had a wonderful chat with Brock, who’s tending his stand, the author of this poem collection, who was also the first person ever rode across North America on a bicycle 🚲

I loved the message, spot on! And stay tuned with me sharing some of these sweet and truthful little poems.

He asked me why I have such an open heart? 😂

I said because I’m at peace. 🕊️

I rate this interaction at 99/100 - would have been 💯 if he accepted my #Bitcoin

Note to self:

Be mindful with the difference between “I don’t want to do what other people do” and “this is what I need to do to get to where I want to go”.

Focus on the latter.

Don’t be rebellious for the sake of it.

predetermined vs deeper underlying order - this is really the ultimate question when it comes to free will I believe, and there’s also lots of room to introduce God in the discussion of free will.

When we are making actions, there’s the reasons, motivations, and emotions behind. If we operate to make decisions based on reasoning then the information we use to make that decision is crucial.

What if the info we have to make decisions are manipulated? what if the amount of info we have on certain issues is “predetermined” and controlled - that’s censorship.

If the end result is that we make decisions based on information that’s manipulated or even not true cuz someone/something else wants us to make that specific decision, did we really have free will there?

It’s a rabbit hole of its own!! I wonder how nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m think about??

I agree. Ego can’t be “killed” completely as we need it to operate still if we follow school of Freud.

I guess for me at this point it’s more about how do I drive actions from the higher self (which is above the 3 aspects from Freud) and not the egotistic self.

Life without an ego will be incredibly boring and I guess I like fun too much still 😅

I don't recall that I have!

Screenwriter Luc Besson is making it look promising!

Likewise! Knowing who you are is a first step, followed by becoming and insisting on it. It’s a never ending beautiful journey and I wish you lots of adventures and growth as well 😇

Interesting, and correct!

Awareness and recognition have been the first step. But just to know there’s an egotistic is not enough to not act from it… there’s now the discrepancy between knowing better but not able to actually do it, hence ego death might be needed, indeed.

After ego death we can act more from our higher self, instead of the egotistic self. It’s an upgrade :)

Cuz I sense that it is near

Question of the day: am I ready for ego death?

Such a low key flex! 💪🏼
