So, if you want to accelerate, and to know what you are capable of, mightn’t you need to understand that part of that is requesting help from others, getting other macro patterns to help you, to cure errors and biases and issues of reasoning and effort? And to do that, to move faster and understand … [Read more…]
A great thing to keep in mind, to think through, perhaps, is with regard to the notion of mind changing itself, changing how it perceives, directly. That is, there can perhaps be much insight in letting go of the idea of a core-self, of some ‘thing’ inside that has control, that can govern the situation. … [Read more…]
if you want to jump outside the system and see the broader picture, there surely are methods to most effectively do that so, then, what is “jumping outside the system”? what is “seeing the broader picture”? perhaps it could be said to be an “escaping” of the frames that were wrapped around, where life seemed … [Read more…]
if you let go of the technique of trying to control the world, though, perhaps you can jump above the very question of ‘how’ to control the world, control Nature, and instead focus on deeper questions—how to love it, and how to dissolve one’s ego into it and on the question of the tactic to … [Read more…]
and so from a point of view of up high, perhaps there indeed is advantage in positing that there _is_ no way to transcend belief in self, belief in a story of the body—given an assumed model, even though it be incoherent, there might still be wisdom reapable from it. and so what would be … [Read more…]

Does such imply an effect of remembering (which seems correct, to be honest; it seems more likely that things are always-remembered rather than typically-forgotten) as natural? And therein lies the question, yes: what are some of the fundamental processes by which memes (M’s) … [Read more…]
Yet, if such were possible, why the slide to inanity? Why the deceit which leads to suffering? For example, let go of the notion of not being, and you are free to be greater — literally. Regardless, if we do truly wish to abandon poor thought, and rescue to height, might we not succeed by … [Read more…]
i feel like it’s all one thing like you see this ape, right and sometimes dream and believe that’s what you are but then you feel this and it’s like imagine you take that body, right and look at it, really like all of the mammal-ness the animal-ness feel it look at the hair on … [Read more…]
