This world is a cosmic joke. Do not take it seriously. Everything will take care of itself. You are not who you think you are.

@ConfirmTKT I have to spend out-of-pocket to find alternate travel TODAY. I am not traveling again in 7 days, so ConfirmTkt just pockets my premium and leaves me stranded. This is a predatory trap. #ConsumerForum #Scam @consaff @jagograhakjago

[Breaking Free @yetanoptimist]

Absolutely scammed by @ConfirmTKT's "Alternate Travel Plan". I paid a 0.5x extra premium upfront (1.5x total per ticket). My train got cancelled/waitlisted, and instead of a real refund, they give 1x back to my bank and trap the rest in a 2x coupon valid for ONLY 7 days.

[Binary Bodhi @binarybodhi]

This is why the Upanishad declares:

AHAM BRAHMASMI. 'I am Brahman.'

Not as affirmation. As recognition.

You are not becoming infinite.
You are removing the false belief that you were ever limited.

The Self was never born. Therefore, it never dies.

This is insanely talented stuff. Non musicians have no idea how hard this would be to do. You need PERFECT timing and the memory of an elephant as they say.

Your one-minute clock starts now.

Prompt 1 to Grok: "Review the video in the post. Create a detailed project requirements document to exactly recreate the app in the video" - about 15 seconds of typing

Prompt 2 to Claude Code: "Go into planning mode and create a detailed plan to implement the app described in the attached PRD" - about 15 seconds of typing. Although I did have to come back and type "1" to give it permission to execute the plan.

Prompt 3 to Claude Code: "Push this to a public repo." - about 5 seconds of typing

All coding about 60 seconds of my time. The longest part was trying to figure out how to screen capture a video with system audio. That flummoxed me for three to four minutes.

[India in Pixels by Ashris 🔱 @indiainpixels]

I spent the last phase of my work exploring the 4 Vedas visually: Rigved, Samved, Yajurved, Atharvaved. I discovered that these are the source code to everything that grows into the Indian culture.

I didn’t expect covering the 4 Vedas to become its own visual universe, but it did. I welcome you to dive into that universe.

[The Nigerian Farmer @Naija_farmers]

The wolf looked at the dog sharply and asked:

“Cousin, what do you think of people?”

The dog lowered his eyes. His voice was quiet, exhausted:

“When they want to humiliate someone... they call them a dog.”

The wolf raised his eyebrows in surprise:

“You hurt their children?”

“Never.”

“You betrayed them?”

“No, never.”

“You guarded them, protected them from me night after night?”

“Yes, always.”

The wolf grinned bitterly:

“And tell me... what do they call those they admire? Brave, wise, free?”

The dog sighed deeply:

“They call them... wolves.”

There was silence. Finally, the wolf shook his head with a gentle smile:

"Didn't we tell you from the beginning to be one of us?

I destroyed their herds, frightened their children, caused them trouble...

And yet, when they want to exalt someone, they compare him to me?"

He approached the dog and added in a low whisper:

"Remember, cousin: people honor those who oppress them and despise those who serve them faithfully. I don't understand it either, but that's how they are."

[oog @oog84__]

oog wake before sun. walk to river alone. cold morning. breath make cloud.

oog sit on rock. watch water move.

no small oog asking thing. no mate needing thing. no tribe wanting thing. just oog and water and cold.

bird land near oog. look at oog. oog look at bird.

"oog also tired?" oog ask bird.

bird fly away. but for one breath, felt like bird understand.

oog learn: need empty time. time where oog just oog. not father. not hunter. not tribe member. just... oog.

river not judge. river just move.

oog move too. back to cave. back to life.

but now oog have river inside. quiet place to visit when world too loud.

you have river too. go find it.

love, oog

[oog @oog84__]

small oog ask: "father, why sky blue?"

oog not know.

small oog ask: "why fish swim but oog sink?"

oog not know.

small oog ask: "where sun go at night?"

oog NOT KNOW.

oog panic. oog supposed to know everything. oog is FATHER.

then oog say dangerous words: "oog not know. we find out together?"

small oog face light up like oog just offer MAMMOTH.

oog learn: small oog not need father who know everything. small oog need father who stay curious with them.

pretending know everything is lonely.

not knowing together is adventure.

love, oog

Claude + Nano Banana is going to make multiple millionaires this year.

This is the same as when people figured out Facebook ads in 2016-2017.

People were making millions with terrible websites and average products just because they figured out the traffic game before everyone else.

We're in that exact window again.

But this time, your alpha will be creation speed.

The stack to launch your own brand didn’t even exist 12 months ago, but now it’s here:

→ Claude or ChatGPT: $20-30/month
→ Higgsfield/Flora: $40/month
→ Shopify: Free for 3 days, then $1/mo for 3 months
→ CapCut: Free
→ YouTube/Twitter for learning: Free

Total cost to start: Under $100. And it used to cost $15k/month in salaries.

Here’s how to use it:

Step 1: Find and validate products with Claude

You don't need to guess anymore.

Give Claude 20 trending products, and ask it to analyse trends.

Then give it your product criteria to write product descriptions, generate 10 ad angles, create email sequences, and draft your entire landing page copy.

Step 2: Generate unlimited creative with Nano Banana

One product photo can become 50 lifestyle variations.

You can test different audiences without reshooting, swap models for persona testing, change backgrounds for seasonal angles, and create localised versions for different markets.

Step 3: Turn statics into video with Kling

Take your winning images and add motion.

These tools turn a flat product shot into a 5-second video that stops the scroll. Layer an AI voiceover on top and you've got a UGC-style ad without hiring a single creator.

Step 4: Edit everything in CapCut

Cut your clips, add text overlays, sync to music, export in every aspect ratio. You can do this in 30 minutes.

Step 5: Learn the strategy on YouTube

The tactics are all free.

Every week there's a new breakdown of what's working, the information asymmetry is gone, and the only advantage left is who actually executes.

This stack + YouTube gives you the opportunity to build a $1M brand all for under $100/month.

Countless millionaires are going to be made from this.

Instead of watching a 2-hour movie, watch this masterclass on Claude Code from scratch:

[Yoga With Kush @yoga_with_kush]

🔥𝗦𝗮𝗱𝗵𝗴𝘂𝗿𝘂🔥: Gautama Buddha never sat for twelve years in one place. He never sat in meditation for long, hours either. He never went into that state where he could not come back. Many of his disciples, many Buddhist monks, went into very long meditations and never came out for years. Gautama himself never went because he saw it was not necessary for him. He practiced all the eight, he experienced all the eight kinds of Samadhis before his Enlightenment and discarded them. He said "This is not it." This is not going to take you any closer to Realization. It is just moving into a higher level of experience and probably you will get more caught up, because it is more beautiful than the current reality.

Here, in meditation, at least there is pain in your legs to remind you of the present reality. There, there is no pain to remind you, which is in one way or the other, more dangerous. Many yogis have been trapped in realities like this. They have created their own worlds.

Now I'm going into an area which is a twilight zone. There are many yogis who have created their own world around themselves. A yogi goes into his cave and he actually creates his own universe and lives there. This is not a joke. He creates everything that he wants. His own kind of planets, his own kind of earth, his own kind of everything, and he lives there happily. A universe is contained inside the cave.

In an atom's space, you can create a whole universe, because there is no 'this much' or 'that much'. That is all the creation of the mind. There are many yogis like this, but they are no closer to Realization than you are. He lives in a different world, that's all. He is probably more caught up than you, because he is the creator also; he has learned the art of creation. Do you understand?

So this does not become an ultimate release. This just becomes a different kind of action, a different way of doing things. An artist is just drawing a new world on a canvas; a yogi is actually creating it. The artist's creation is two dimensional, whereas the yogi's is three dimensional. This is more deceptive.

An artist gets so involved in the world that he is creating that he starts believing it is true, and it is true for him. A poet believes that whatever he writes is the truth. Similarly, a man who is painting, if he's deeply involved, believes that what he is painting is the truth. When two dimensional things are like this, if you create three dimensional things around yourself, definitely you're going to be more caught up with them. So, going off either into this state or that state is not the thing. This will not lead you to liberation.

There is sufficient energy here to take a lot of people into Samadhi states. If you want to go away like that for three or six months, it is possible, but what is the purpose? If a karmic situation arises and there is a need to go off, to hide you from the external world for a while, then with that purpose, it is done. That's different. That's the best Samadhi you can have.

You can live in heaven. You can do what you want, but this does not lead to dissolution. It doesn't lead to a blissful state. Maybe it creates happiness, maybe It creates peace to some extent, but it does not release you from everything. It's just another kind of karma.

Okay, right now, either fortunately or unfortunately, you've had certain glimpses of another dimension of life. What difference has it made? In terms of Realization, has it gotten you any closer? No.

If the goal is set, if you have made Realization the top priority in your life, then whatever you do, if it does not take you a step closer, is meaningless. A man who wants to go up Mount Everest, for instance, will not take one step sideways unless it's absolutely necessary. Every ounce of his energy is spent only on reaching the summit. When you want to transcend your own consciousness, you need every ounce of what you have, still it is not enough.

[Ramanajyothi @Searchof_WhoamI]

The Child and the Master: The self and the universe are one

Under a big banyan tree, near a quiet river, a young child sat beside an old sage. Birds chirped softly, and the wind moved through the leaves like a whisper. The child looked up and asked, “Master, everyone says Brahman is everywhere. But where is everywhere?”
The sage smiled kindly.
“Close your eyes,” he said. “Do you feel your breath?”
“Yes,” said the child.
“That feeling of being alive - that awareness - is a doorway. Brahman is there too.”
The child frowned a little.
“But I’m just a small child. How can something so big be inside me?”
The sage picked up a small clay pot filled with water.
“Look,” he said. “Is the sky inside this pot?”
“Only a little piece,” the child replied.
The sage gently tipped the pot and poured the water out.
“Now where is the sky?”
The child laughed. “It’s everywhere!”
“Just like that,” said the sage. “When we forget our worries and fears, we remember we are not small. The true self inside you - called Atman - is the same as Brahman.”
The child’s eyes grew wide.
“So… am I Brahman?”
The sage nodded.
“Yes. That is why the wise ones said, ‘Tat Tvam Asi’ - You are That.”
The child thought for a moment.
“What about Shiva? I see pictures of him in temples.”
The sage drew a small circle in the sand.
“Many see Shiva as a form,” he said gently. “But the sages discovered Shiva is also the quiet awareness inside you - the silence that listens when everything else is still.”
The child whispered,
“I feel quiet sometimes… like when I watch the stars.”
The sage smiled.
“That quiet joy is called Sat - Chit - Ananda - being, awareness, and happiness. It is always with you.”
“Then why don’t people know this?” the child asked.
“Because of forgetting,” said the sage softly. “We call it Avidya. Like forgetting you’re dreaming while asleep.”
The child leaned closer.
“How do I remember?”
The sage replied,
“Be kind. Be honest. Sit quietly. Ask, ‘Who am I?’ Listen more than you speak. The answer will rise on its own.”
The child smiled, feeling warm inside.
“So I don’t have to go anywhere?”
“No,” said the sage. “The greatest journey is inward.”
And beneath the banyan tree, as the sun slowly set, the child learned the oldest lesson of all:
The self and the universe are one - and always have been.

A speed reading training video starts at 300 words per minute and ends at 900 words per minute.

I was able to understand this entire video the first time it was present.

Could you?
