@caryatis Maybe calorie counting is to mindful eating what practiced flirting is to intuitive. A strict macro controlled diet can help force you to confront whatever was not working, but ideally you can then go to a more sustainable diet of eating what feels right.
@QiaochuYuan Social status comes from leverage/ access to finite resources-we generalise this to 'meaning comes from uniqueness or specialness'. Mammal brain makes meaning within a social context, thinking about infinities makes it want to give up?
@algekalipso Tricky cos meditation resulted in the biggest lasting changes but i feel like psychedelics showed me the way. took me about 300 hours of meditaiton to have big awakening, realise anatta. My guess is without psychedlics it would have taken much longer.
@QiaochuYuan How do you model the interiority of the median person, like the default you expect of people before you get to know them. Where does it differ most from yourself and how do you relate to these differences?
@chrislakin Is this sort of destabilization common? Maybe Ive just had an unusually untruamatising life but the awareness and equanimity seem to be the same thing to me.
@nosilverv Interesting, can you say more about this locking? My first reaction is that meditation is almost the opposite for me. It's like opening up channels between different parts
@TylerAlterman Claude coached me on my meditation journey to a profound awakening. Its like having a servant with a master's in everything who never gets tired. It's amazing
@TylerAlterman Don't know how to code, now I'm making apps for all kinds of stuff. I turned a boardgame I'd invented years ago into a browser game https://t.co/ezVfzgvopf I made music composition apps https://t.co/yFGdD24Q0T https://t.co/xlqL6RdKOR Nondual pointer https://t.co/QH0De7hWrG
@TVachaW That is what my practice has drifted towards since I lost the illusion of a seperate self. If theres a moment where someting seems like it would be better than something else, or something is seperate from something else I just look at it and it disolves into peace/love.
