The Sauce is strong with this one.

You have a pillow.

And a mattress.

Weak.

Reality is just word in the mind of human beings. So reality (in the way you or I conceptualize it) doesn't really exist.

Obviously, once you start to believe nothing you say, think or believe actually exists, you run the risk of becoming a nihilist.

But, 'I think therefore I am'. Most of us are conscious of our existence, anything else beyond that is just an educated, or perhaps 'dimwitted', guess. And so, most believe that they are perhaps alive (simulation hypothesis aside). Hard core mediators and psychedelic drug takers seem to think their existence extends beyond their ideas of 'the self'.

Thinking and talking and believing our thoughts and words relate to something real is very practical, useful and necessary to our survival. However, I my opinion, I think it's important to always remind oneself that we just live in our own heads, and make up, or perhaps make sense of, 'reality' in our heads.

Imagine for a moment, a world in which countrymen, men, women, races, ages (years of life) did not exist and no one had a concept of them. We sure would have a lot less to fight about!

So it's very beneficial to let all thoughts go - to not become too attached to them, and just 'be'.

Conversely, holding those ideas loosely can be beneficial as it allows us to accommodate apparent differences, improving everyone's lives. It's good to treat children differently from adults. Despite the fact that children and adults are only ideas.

Churlish.

Countries don't exist.

They're only an idea in the minds of human beings.

The real war is class war. A wealthy powerful minority (eg forming fascist corporation/governments or communist government/corps - they both amount to the same thing) against other wealthy powerful minorities, and against their own populations. Rulers control the populations that would otherwise kill them by focusing their attention on another ruler/population to go an kill them.

Psyop mind control.

That said, now I'm going to contradict myself and say - classes do not exist except in the minds of human beings...

Well, that's just about where I am at the moment tbh.

Oops. Seem to be having a problem with my connect. Sorry. lol.

Breaking news! Jack Dorsey caught in massive pump and dump scam, dumping his entire btc holdings for Toyota!

Jack claimed Toyota was better than Porsche, BMW, Jaguar and Lamborghini. He even claimed Toyota was better than Toyota!

Jack scammed almost the entire user base in his new social media start up; 'Nock-Off Social of Twitter for Retards (or NOSTR) which he completely owns and controls, and is used by almost 100 people around the world, at least once or twice a month.

More news to come...

When I was a kid, I was interested in aerospace engineering.

My half-brother (who is 30 years older than me and was therefore old enough to be an uncle and had that kind of relationship to me) spent his career as an engineer and then an executive at a major aerospace defense contractor.

He was the most accomplished person of my family and was raising a happy family, he always kind of represented a role model of who I wanted to be. Hard-working, successful, well-off, and with good priorities around building a happy family.

As I studied math and science in high school and engineering in college, I assumed that would probably go work for the same company as him one day (which two of his three kids do now). As a teenager, I could tell you how many aircraft carrier groups the US had, roughly how many B-2 bombers the US had, how much they cost, the technical pros and cons of various fighter jets, comparative missile arsenals among global powers, etc.

But when it came time to graduate and go into engineering (during the Iraq War which I opposed), I couldn’t do it. It’s not that I am opposed to advancing aerospace or making weapons for sovereign defense per se, but rather that I didn’t agree with how the US military structurally uses its weapons globally.

I began focusing on industrial automation instead, and then ended up in civil aerospace engineering (with a focus on electrical engineering). That area captured some of what I liked about the field of aerospace engineering, but was focused on making aircraft safer and more efficient, rather than more deadly. I spent a decade there in a rewarding career, and followed a similar career path as my half-brother, meaning that I went from engineer to senior engineer to management and finance for the engineering facility, and so forth. But for peace rather than for war.

I eventually left the work due to my financial research business growing and overshadowing my engineering work in terms of scale. I had always done financial research work part time as my passion, but at some point it took off and that made it uneconomical to work in engineering/management anymore.

After several years of focusing on financial research, I got into bitcoin venture investing in part to help fund engineers and assist them in building things, which was basically what I was doing in my prior role in aerospace and is something I am still strongly drawn to.

Anyway, I thought of this as escalations flared in the Middle East this weekend. It’s amazing how small decisions or pivot points can affect where we end up in life.

I for one am very glad you decided not to join the military. 😃

Remember a Nostrich can feel the Sauce flowing through him.

Stretch out with your feelings.

Or you can just use a good blaster...

Loneliness really is just nothing more than an idea, that produces an uncomfortable feeling. It can come whether you're alone in the woods, or in a crowd of people. Single or married. So it has nothing to do with being alone.

Most people crave attention (care) from others, in order to change their own thoughts about being alone (eg. no one or everyone loves me kinda thing. If no one cares about me I'm alone, if everyone cares, or understands, or whatever, I'm not alone). This is what drives people to seek out friends and spouses.

However, many people who mediate regularly, over time, once their minds have become very quiet - ie, they really just stop thinking in words, experience an overwhelming feeling of comfort, love, if you will, and love towards many people and things. Including themselves. They just feel alright. It's the antithesis of feeling alone, because you feel just fine, more than fine, on your own. This is very much how people can feel when they feel loved or 'not alone'.

So the direction is opposite than most people are used to. Rather than love and kindness coming from others towards us, making us feel less alone, positive feelings and thoughts emanate from us, out towards others and all things.

Being loved by and cared for and understood and accepted by others is great. It's truly wonderful. But not necessary, and in fact, when you find the love already in you, and it starts to fill you, and radiate out to others, others will love you.

And I'm talking about thoughts and feelings here, which create our perceptions of the world, not metaphysical mumbo jumbo. Nothing spiritual. But profound nonetheless. I'm talking about Zen. I'm talking about the Way.

You are not alone 😃
