There is some truth to this. I can't quite find the words for it, but I can tell its correct. 👍

I find when I am feeling like a victim(or feeling something I dont want like) sometimes the more I resist it, the worst it gets. I'm better off if I I just really go into it fully. It sounds like I'm saying, be more victim. But when I stop resisting, I think I just realised I'm actually giving in. And then I realise I'm not the victim any more. Some asshole did something that they knew would hack me off, was depriving me. That really takes a nasty trait to do that. For someone to have that kind of nastiness harness it, and express it. Its kind of rough to be in that position. I actually started feeling sorry for the person. I was grateful I wasn't in their position. And not having such nastiness part of me. Suddenly the person who inflicted the act on me became the victim. And all I had was gratitude. Gratitude that I didn't have that nastiness. Its a nice feeling when it happens. If you can really feel it then its really empowering. Otherwise you just faking it which doesn't really work.

But it all starts with giving in.

Cheers Brisket 👌

I'm not sure how things could have got so bad for him that he decided to take the action he did. He just needed a good friend. Thats all it takes. Unfortunately a good friend can be hard to come by sometimes.

It doesn't matter what someone says to you, whether direct threat or how they make you feel, we dont need to be locked into what is trying to be imposed on us.

Feel it when it is happening, resisting it only makes the lock stronger. But remember you can get out. Ironically the best way to get out, is to go into it more, so much more eventually you realise it isn't real, and you get unlocked.

I've been there, its horrible when you in it. It feels as real as real can be. Dont resist it, and you can break free. No shit, this isn't just some flowery sounded self help.

Yeah Aaron swarz sounds like a real cool guy. He left his mark on the world, everlasting impact. ❤

Yeah, I think you are right. Buying and owning things locks us into the rules of our society even more. Most of these rules are just made up by some one who had a strong influence at some point in history. We've taken these rules as gospel and never really questioned them. The more locked we are into the rules of our society, this stops us from operating outside the rules of our society, and so makes us less free. Thats why we can feel much lighter when we give things up. When we give things up, it becomes easy to operate outside of these so called rules.

Feels liberating 💪

I will never look at the heart the same again... I like it ❤

Amazing!

A natural forrest is more diverse, more healthy, full of different organisms, microscopic, fungal bacterial, insects, animals, trees, plants, the list goes on. Trees in the wild in a forrest thrive, grow taller, are more healthy, than a tree planted in isolation. Fungi and other microbes produce chemicals, signalling to each other, communicating. Its no different to the vast array of microbes that live in and on our body that contribute around 99% of the available genetic material we are made up of. Do you really think all these microscopic living things are just sitting around on their own without any purpose not interacting with each other?

It really seems quite obvious to me that all these microbes including fungi mycelium are communicating in a chain that connects not only trees but all the living things that make up the forrest. They communicate with each other in a positive way that enables the life of the forrest to not only survive but thrive. So the communication / feedback mechanisms will help certain living things to grow and thrive including trees and or cause their demise as a sacrifice for the forrest to prosper and thrive. The communication can be positive or negative when taken in isolation, without seeing the bigger picture. Im so surprised that scientists don't acknowledge this, it really seems as clear as the sky is blue, or water flows, or when a tree falls in the forrest it creates a sound. I suppose even the wisest people dispute even these most obvious blatant conclusions. I nod my head.

Cool video Cahlen. You actually look like a wizard, and then a ninja with the the balaclava. Yeah I had a quick look online, merino wool pretty expensive. The robe looks great 👍

Not sure I've never done this.

I looked up Aaron Swarz because you had a quote by him on your profile previously. Sounds like an amazing guy, tragic how his life ended. The government were proper threatened by him. Imagine if he was still here today, he would have been all over nostr, and a bitcoin maxi too I bet.

Thanks for the sats, ive still not got used to zapping yet. It feels abit odd, but I do love the appreciation. Thank you. 👍

The eating once a day, I've done this for extended periods a few years ago. You are correct, after body has adapted, don't get hunger pangs at all, and I've even done strenuous out door work on full energy. Yes, experience tells me 💯 spot on. It was surprising that my energy / mood was more constant rather than ups and down having multiple meals. I have 2 meals currently. No snacks.

When I read your message on the non wash no shower really got my attention because I vividly remember at the end of the 2nd week smelling myself, and there was no smell. But then I did a search online and there were all these scare stories that you would get ill and all sorts and I just gave in had a shower. There was a feeling of freshness after the shower which felt nice. And then I just carried on showering after that.

How long have you been do no wash no shower, washing 5 times a year? Do you wash your hair / beard more often?

I do believe you when you say you smell better than most, because at the end of my 2nd week experiment, I didn't smell either. And this was confirmed by my other half and she said I smelled fine, no BO at all. She thought I'd had a shower. Lol.

Thanks for sharing this, its very inspiring and fascinating to hear what you've done.

Second seems interesting. Something I've realised, people don't know what they really want. I wouldn't let the anti-child ideology put u off. Good luck man. Dating in today's world, it a mine field.🙈 but hang in there. It will all be worth it in the end.💯

Thats crazy. They need an authority to tell them that the Amish aren't obese, doped up, with no health problems. What next? They'll need confirmation the sky is blue. Let normies be normies!🙃

I'm amazed at all the crap we are convinced to use on our bodies, typical shampoo is awful. I tried all the organic stuff, gave up, presently settled with water. I could give tallow soap a try. How long u using tallow soap? I will give it a go. Cheers 👍

Interesting. What do you use instead of shampoo?

5 times a year! Wow. I had a really bad dry skin condition a few years ago and someone told me, stop using soap, moisturising lotions etc. and don't shower for 2 weeks. I was surprised that my skin condition resolved on its own. I was amazed. I was even more surprised by the end of the 2 weeks I didn't really smell at all. The first week was terrible, I stank. So I must admit I was abit baffled that I stopped smelling. How did that happen?

But I went back to showering afterwards. I wonder what would have happened if I just quit showers all together. And carried on?

It does seem like alot what we are sold isn't really required at all.

Glad you covered the bitcoin on exchanges, its lowest it been since 2021. I was looking at the chart earlier today. I've been trying to check the amount going further back even earlier than 2021, the chart you used only goes back to 2021. Did you find an earlier chart by any chance? Would be good to see eg. last 10 years. Cheers.

Cheers Brian, upbeat bullish bitcoin channel as usual. You always find the best quotes, yes I agree, all or nothing. Its going up forever Laura! Cheers Brian.

Maybe try opening it on a public computer, if its an honest pdf, then should open and then you know its safe. You really don't want to open a suspicious file that infects your laptop or phone.

If its legit, you should have a proper go at the person, why give so little info in main email, baiting tou to open a file. There should be some information on who it is, a website, abit of background, or something. Need some info to verify who it is atleast! "Trust, but verify" is out motto right.

If its legit, the first 10 minutes of interview should emphasise how to approach someone correctly when asking for an interview and not make them so para and nervous that they being scammed!

I prefer "Trust, but verify".

Do not trust, feels like something gets lost, jumping the gun. When our gut tells us to trust, we should trust and then verify, if we are right, will reconfirms, yes we made the right decision. Many times, we will be wrong and verify will teach us, and fine tune us. I think trust is important, but verify afterwards!

Yeah seems proper dodgy, trying to get you download what claims to be a pdf. If they legit, they will contact you again like a normal person, with details in the email. What a cool name though, Silver Black! 😎
