Great quality.

Just completed my 3rd Vipassana.

The practice has many layers... Since it gives me so many benefits, will try to attend a retreat every 2-3 months for now and see how far I can go.

This is only one lense to look the world through. Yes, there are geniuses here on this world and we can not deny & push them away. We want them to bring their gifts to this world.

But there're billions of people who are not geniuses, nor want to be rebels. They just want to live a happy life. We can't deny their existence too.

nostr:npub1a2cww4kn9wqte4ry70vyfwqyqvpswksna27rtxd8vty6c74era8sdcw83a are you familiar with Spiral Dynamics? It's a psychological development of individuals/communities.

There are 8 levels to it (and new ones constantly emerging).

We're transitioning from the 5th stage (the best description of it is capitalism, individualism, technology, materialism) to the 6th stage called Green Stage (equality, yoga, psychedelics, going back to nature, etc. ).

It's a very natural process, as people burn out in the 5th stage and understand that's not where the happiness is, hence they look for something deeper and they find equality as the answer.

The problem with it is - they DENY the 5th stage - individual greatness, awesome things that we got from it (amazing companies that were built) and that becomes a problem.

What we should try to thrive to do is to go into the 7th stage - (integrated stage)

The 7th stage value system includes all of the previous stages & tries to incorporate them into the society. In my belief Bitcoin and Bitcoiners will be getting us there. Bitcoin as a technology is very integrative (when you think of what a Bitcoin-maxi has to learn to become a Bitcoin maxi, like mining, game-theory, economics and much more).

What we can not fall back to is to deny the 6th stage (all the trans movement, equality, etc.) because these people came to live in this way for some reason.

For my part, I recently was triggered by one person who identified herself as queer. I was immediately looking at her as my enemy and that was a trigger to ask her to go for a coffee. When I talked to her for 2 hours and attentively listened to her - I came to appreciate her and her community of queer people.

We're all people in the end of the day & we're trying to live happily on here.

He gave me a "template" - 4 basic sensations & then I could add as much to it as possible.

1. Inhale

2. Exhale

3. Sitting (I was going through my spine)

4. Touching (feeling my ass)

And then the rest would be whatever I feel/hear/sense/think in my being.

So it would be - inhale, exhale, sitting, touching, hearing, thought, tension (in my knee), thought - this is one round and these are 8 things I noticed. 8 is already super super advanced though.

5-6 is what I can do on a daily basis (I meditate 60-120mins per day). To go past 6, I need to meditate 4-8 hours that day to train my focus.

Hey!

Anyone else into esoteric stuff?

Have some experiments I want to do and share over here.

Would love to meet like-minded peeps!

"Mastering the Core Teachings of Buddha" is a practical guide to experience it 😉

6 months ago I met a monk. I did a 10 day meditation retreat with him.

We were exploring around 5 meditation techniques in total. They were all showing different kinds of things and designed for different kind of purposes.

One of them was "noting". The goal of it - to note more than 6 things/sensations per second. As soon as your brain starts doing that - it starts breaking, as if getting short-circuit.

After around 4 days I started noting 6 - 10 things, depending on a session.

I've had out-of-body experience, DMT-like experiences, kundalini awakening and many others.

Can't imagine what would happen if I went above 10+.

Where dis?

Are there any AIs that are able to perform tasks like "collect hadlines from this website in 2017" or similar tasks?

Thanks guys! Was looking for something like this as it's not that intuitive yet

What's the retreat?

nostr:npub1lelkh3hhxw9hdwlcpk6q9t0xt9f7yze0y0nxazvzqjmre3p98x3sthkvyz on Friday we're doing a "What Is Money" campaign on Zen Beach, Koh Phangan at 5 pm. Wanna join? Also, we have weekly meetups on Wednesdays too.

Congrats!

How has your life changed since you secured "enough" BTC to live the life you want?

How have your priorities changed? What have you started doing more of?

Asking for a friend.

I've done blood tests & immune response tests.

And as for meat - I was eating grass-fed one. I was eating more things than meat for sure, though that was 70-80% of my diet.

95% paleo diet I'd say.

Was trying Habla at the time, and it was really buggy. Refreshed it and it started to work properly. Will start writing there! Thanks!

I recently did a food intolerance test and my immune system reacts to all the products made out of cow... Kefir included.

So would test that out.

Really, there's no solution that suits everybody. Need to do your own research.

Btw, was eating carnivore for a bit of time & fucked up my digestive system & liver too... Just couldn't handle as much protein & now have to eat lots of veggies (and beef too 2x per week) to fix it up.

In other words - do your own research.

What's the best #nostr client to publish long-form articles? #grownostr #nostrbuild

Drinking juice is pretty much like drinking coke with vitamins. Too much sugar. You need fiber to go with it. Massive insulin spikes.
