Escaped the maze of propaganda, grifts and mental loops. Now posting the raw path out as I find it. Inner Development, Health & Trading are my foundations.

if you’re plagued by any addiction … no matter if it’s weed, alcohol, porn, smoking, shopping or whatever else it might be … this is the blueprint on how to overcome it

warning: this is NOT a quick fix … it requires work and a lot of patience and confronting of your inner devil(s) … usually there’s more than one

[scott 🌞 @scottdomes]

this is going to be very high level since there are layers to this + it looks slightly different for everyone, but in short:
a) notice when the urge to smoke weed arises
b) notice what happens if you sit with that urge, without acting on it -> the feeling that comes up is what’s being avoided (or one of the things)
c) get curious about why that feeling is here + what feels scary about it
d) meet both the feeling and the fear with unconditional compassion & acceptance
e) repeat whenever it arises

d) is probably the toughest step, it takes practice to be able to orient towards sensations/cravings with that kind of accepting warmth. but that’s the big unlock

@realTeresaBruni i’m totally with you on that … i actually tried to amplify your point

[Joe Swansteen @DigitalJoe808]

@realTeresaBruni i feel you … i certainly feel you 🤗💫💪🏿

[Joe Swansteen @DigitalJoe808]

i’m not a maxxximalist nor am i a purist

all i am interested is how i feel about things and whether it’s good for me

to give you a recent example … last week i did my first 48 hour fast … and i was very happy with that

now, the purist will tell you: No, that wasn’t a 48 fast, you ate half a mango in between

alright, that’s totally true, but that doesn’t change anything

the fact is that i was doing OMAD and i just wanted to eat that mango … and after half of it, i was happy and didn’t eat anything after another 24 hours

i didn’t try to do 48 hours … it just happened

and that tells me i am getting more and more aligned … the only thing i REALLY care about

(i don’t do and neither do i care about discipline or any such concepts)

[Joe Swansteen @DigitalJoe808]

i know … but i don’t buy into this whole “this is good/this is bad” discussion

there’s no such thing as “one size fits all”

thus there’s no universal “this is good for you” situation either

let’s face it, a “study” conducted that proves a certain percentage gets so-and-so means nothing to a single person

social media has created the habit of hyperbole … why not state the actual truth … some people do well with 5 cups of coffee, but many won’t

[Joe Swansteen @DigitalJoe808]

you probably won’t like to hear this, but you certainly should

if you’re following the path of the universe … you will find that it leads towards “What is best for you?”

however, that’s not the same as: “What is best for my health or my body?”

there have been times where i wondered if the universe is trying to kill me? … it doesn’t

but neither is it trying to make your life easy or painless

the path of the universe is always towards ALIGNMENT

once you’re aligned, everything will fall into place … and things will get easier

but till you reach that … be ready for some bumps in the road as well some pain and suffering

[Joe Swansteen @DigitalJoe808]

this very well sums up my personal purpose

a large part of my life was dedicated to helping people find the path to enlightenment

now i focus on my own path towards ascension … and cleaning up my karma

MEDITATION
#Osho

Down the centuries it has been experienced again and again, that if in a village of one thousand people even one person is a real meditator, the whole quality of the people changes.

Man has come to this state not because of the greater majority but because of a few people like Jesus, Buddha, Zarathustra, Krishna — just because of these few people. With each Buddha, with each Christ, with each awakened soul, humanity takes a step higher.

But if thousands of people become awakened then the whole humanity will take a quantum leap. That’s what I call the beginning of the new man.

My effort here is not just to help individuals — obviously that’s what I’m doing — but deep down it is an effort to create the situation, the background, the essential context, in which a new man can arise with love in his heart, with light in his soul, with intelligence, with awareness, and can transform the whole earth into a paradise.

That miracle is possible. In fact it is only possible now — it was never possible before — because we have come to a certain stage of growth. Man is no longer childish, he has come of age.

But great effort is needed. One needs to put one’s total energy into it. Put your total energy into giving yourself a rebirth. And it will not only be a rebirth for you, it will be helping the whole humanity. To me that is true service.

849k views … and we wonder why we have a health and obesity crisis 🤦‍♂️

this is one of the most convoluted and completely wrong posts i’ve seen in a while … mixing some facts with lots of big words and plenty of falsehoods

none of it makes sense and it’s 100% wrong … i wonder what AI wrote this drivel?

[Joe Swansteen @DigitalJoe808]

there’s no such thing as death … it’s an illusion in the same way as getting born is an illusion

[Krishnadev Satyarthi @KrisBhattarai]

Is there another way without death and insecurity?

#Osho

There is no death in the first place. Death is an illusion. It is always somebody else who dies; you never die.

It means death has always been seen from the outside, it is the outsider’s view.

Those who have seen their inner world are unanimous in saying that there is no death. Because you don’t know what constitutes your consciousness; it is not constituted of breathing, it is not constituted of heartbeats, it is not constituted of blood circulation.

So when the doctor says that a man is dead, it is an outsider’s conclusion; all that he is saying is, “This man is no longer breathing, his pulse has stopped, his heart is not beating.” Are these three things equivalent to death? They are not.

Consciousness
is not your body,
nor your mind,
nor your heart.

So when a person dies, he dies for you, not for himself. For himself he simply changes the house, perhaps moves into a better apartment. But because the old apartment is left, and you are searching for him in the old apartment and you don’t find him there, you think the poor guy is dead.

All that you should say is, “The poor guy escaped. Now where he has gone, we don’t know.”

In fact, medical science is going beyond its limits when it says that some person is dead. Medical science has no right yet, because it has no definition yet of what constitutes death.

It can simply say that “This man is no longer breathing. His heart has stopped. His pulse is no longer functioning.” To conclude that he is dead is going beyond what you are seeing.

But because science does not have any idea of consciousness, the death of the body becomes the death of the being.

Those who have known the being… and it is not necessary for it that you should die and then you know; you can just go inside.

That’s what I call meditation—just go inside and find out what is your center, and at your center there is no breathing, there is no heartbeat, there is no thought, no mind, no heart, no body, and still you are.

Once a person has experienced himself - that he is not the body, not the mind, not the heart, but pure awareness - he knows there is no death for him, because he does not depend on the body.

Awareness has no dependence on blood circulation. It does not depend on whether the heart beats or not, it does not depend on whether the mind functions or not. It is a totally different world; it is not constituted of any material thing, it is immaterial…

we’re creatures of habit … and those deeply rooted habits such as giving control over to the government and trusting the “men in white” with our lives … are habits of generations, often based on generational trauma

you either trust the government … or you don’t

my dad was a really clever man … but he trusted the government and the doctors … and the result was that he left us way too early

[Joe Swansteen @DigitalJoe808]

@xMatrixxx17 awesome timing 👏💫💪

we need to start looking at food and nutrition from a completely different perspective and angle

stop worrying about calories and vitamins and carbs and macro or micro nutrients and minerals etc

instead, start focusing on what NOT to eat and put into your body:

- highly processed foods
- artificial sweeteners
- sugar (no matter which of 248 names they call it)
- alcohol
- energy drinks
- seed oils
- convenience foods and all their preservatives
- soda drinks
- sun screen with dozens of chemicals
- moisturizer with dozens of chemicals
- vitamin supplements that extracted the “vitamin” with a chemical process

instead, cook your own food with single item ingredients, eat enough fat and animal protein and drink clean water

you’ll be surprised how much better you feel … no more hunger pangs and drop/lack of energy

try it‼️

[Joe Swansteen @DigitalJoe808]

not the first example i see this has happened to … tried helping resurrect another account but any communication has been completely ignored

that’s why i am myself on the fence if it’s even worth it trying to grow my account significantly … i am getting throttled as if there’s no tomorrow (even Grok says so)
