this has mind fucked me...
i have always lived with beeing unlucky, yes this sounds really whiny and spoiled
but it's just been like that.. so i'm not really emotional about it anymore..
not sure if i'm doing it wrong, but it didn't work for me
it did however made think and beeing really confused about it for a couple of days

I have known of the secret since I was about 13, but I learned it as "create your own reality". Yes, learned in school, - A class that met one time a week, our class assignment was that we make an effort to apply the notion that you create your own reality, through attraction via mental imagery, and that we document once a day our progress, or lack there of. About 4 or 5 weeks into the course, and I had not recorded one piece of progress, I was asked by the teacher, why I thought that was? 'I did not know', was my answer. the teacher then suggested that maybe I was not working hard enough, was not making the effort to keep these things I had said I wanted in my minds eye as much as was required for me to create my own reality. Was I being lazy? Yes, I guessed that probably was why it had not worked for me, when it had to different degrees for almost every one else in the class.

Years later remembering that conversation, I realized, I was not being lazy, - what she had called lazy, I then saw as wanting for nothing. I think that not really wanting for anything, combined with the underling thought, that it was a bunch of fucking bull shit, are prolly why it did not work for me. I later became pretty sure that this idea/mind set, was not without merit. That it did seem to work for some who wanted strongly, and worked to apply it intensely.
 
This is a long one, I'm not done watching, but holy shit already mindfucks!

I have a lot of catching up to do on this thread! I caught it when it first was presented but didn't have time to read/watch anything, but I've got it bookmarked now.

I bring goodies!

This is stuff that I discovered last year around the time I tried magic mushrooms. It helped me through a lot of weird and confusing times in my young life. This is just some of my favorites. If you like metaphysics, quantum physics, and where science and spirituality blur the line, these are great to watch.

First is the Spirit Science series. This is just the latest one. I recommend watching from the beginning. They're all free on Youtube, and are definitely interesting.



When I went to the website and just looked at the videos, it looked like #1 and 3 weren't there, but looking at the playlist reveals that they really are.

kudos Kate....Alan Watts -the Book- was one of my earliest mindfucks.....along side it was a talk given by Khrisnamurti in Ojai about 40 years ago....it's also a tediously difficult book to read "Think On These Things"....the ideas in it are much better delivered by another person than by the written word
but most everything posted so far is right up there with them :thumbleft:

also...
1 ."Childhood's End" by Arthur C. Clark....it fucked my own childhood mind real good
2. Natalie Wood's last movie "Brainstorm", if you ignore the one scene that paid some sort of Hollywood debt to Christainity.
3. Neuroplasticity...as much as I know of it anyway from the book "The Brain That Changes Itself"....it has a wide array of emerging practical applications, focused now mostly on rewiring brains of the disabled......and one site -http://www.lumosity.com/- that might be viewed as parlor games, but is developed from the research.
4. The I Ching with the forward by Carl Jung
5. Maps, and those people before the industrial revolution that took it upon themselves to make them.
6. A fog bank on a stretch of Mexcian beach I went for a walk on one night about 20 years ago.....life IS pretty much a mind fuck :lol:
 
here's one for ya

In a Nature paper titled "Solid carbon, springy and light," scientists from Zhejiang University in Hangzhou, China have introduced a graphene aerogel that comes in at just 0.16 milligrams per cubic centimeter. As a point of reference, that's less than one-seventh the density of air. And while it's still twice as dense as hydrogen, it's the very first ultralight substance to achieve a mass-to-volume ratio less than helium's, 0.1786 mg/cm3. What's more, it's got some killer real-world applications.

It does not float because it is porous if you are wondering, like a balloon full of holes.

Okay, this one got me. Just did some quick conversions to pound per cubic feet and assuming an average person could lift 50 pounds, that means they could lift a cube of this stuff with dimensions of a little over 17 feet on each side. :shock: (17.0997594668 ft per side to be more precise)

I'm going to think out loud.

Dangerous-Undertaking.png

When I feel close to it, I back away. Sometimes I am too afraid I'll lose myself forever, but isn't that what I want? What am I searching for, if not that?
FOOD4.png

I'm fighting fighting fighting to be happy right NOW, but I cannot stop remembering and anticipating past and present moments. I am almost never fully present. When I am living in the now, I do not notice. It is only in retrospect that I realize I was happy. Once I take a second to realize how happy I am, it is already gone.

ego-funeral2.png

Who is it that knows he is enlightened? Hmm... You cannot feel proud without feeling shame as well. They have to come together. If I want to get rid of the negative emotions, I will also have to get rid of the positive. Is it worth it to never feel proud of myself again? Will I regret losing my 'self'? I suppose not. There won't be a 'self' to regret anything. These are the questions of the ego.
 
About reality:

that quote is basically saying that none of us truly understand reality. Similar to the quote "everything you think you know is false." (don't remember who said that, and probably mangled it, but it's similar). If you think you're getting close to reality, go for it! Just be ready to have your world turned upside-down. Unless you truly believe that ignorance is bliss. But well, if you want to know about that, ask the girl who just found out her partner gave her HIV and never told her he was infected. (or guy who found out his partner...)

There is good in everyone. There is bad in everyone. The truth is so complicated that at times it appears to contradict itself, and yet it is the most simple thing in the universe. That is why, despite the five million people who take advantage of the chances I give them and show me just how horrible the human race is, I'll continue to give those chances: because of the hundred thousand or so who live up to the golden standard I put everyone under until they prove otherwise.

about the Ego:

The ego is convinced that you are the hero, that you are the best person in the world. The ego believes that at your funeral everyone will be singing your praises, and that all those kind words will be true. The ego is that part which will twist your memories to make you the good guy, and the rest of the world the bad guy, even if you're the guy who just shot an old woman by mistake.

About good with bad:

I'll take the bad, if it means having the good as well. It all balances out if you let it. But if you spend your life focusing on one or the other, then that's the only part you will see. If you spend your life avoiding both bad and good, are you really living? Strive for the good, and acknowledge the bad when it happens. Cherish each experience, good and bad, as it's all a part of being alive.
 
Honestly, and this is going to make me sound like a loser but my mind was completely fucked by a few Doctor Who episodes.

Firstly "Father's Day" it just really got to me and messed with my head. Specifically the car that kept circling and jumping through the split in time, trying to complete fate. Idk, I couldn't think straight for awhile after that.

And then the "Bad Wolf" motif throughout all of series 1. When I finally understood that I just couldn't stop thinking about it. Just going back and intentionally leading signs to your future so that you know what to do, but you can't possibly understand it yet but you will. Idk, time travel, paradoxes and the like leave me with this crazy hollow feeling. And I love it.
 
@LadyLuna

Thank you for that...thinking beside me. I like that. You'd be cool to hang with. I like an unfiltered rant.

I wanted to tell you that in my room tonight I discussed feminism (as revealed by the Youtube channels you suggested). Almost all of the guys agreed with what I was saying, but some of them admitted they had never thought about it in this way before tonight. They had never realized how little self-worth they had, or considered that they might not actually have to sacrifice their life for the life of a woman. I think it's a great thing for a woman to take the mic and examine the feminist movement so explicitly, because it's easier for both sexes to listen without immediately screaming, "Misogyny!"

Instead of women's rights, I'd like to see people speak up for HUMAN rights. The hateful treatment of men is not talked about and has got to stop. The issues that men face are just as serious as women's issues, and it's completely unfair to fight for one and ignore the other! Men may be physically stronger, but that does not make it okay to send them to war and tell them to "man-up" about it when they don't want to go! When a man is reluctant to fight, he is told he is a coward! I once saw an interview with a U.S. Marine who spoke about his experience in the armed forces. He had approached his higher officer and told him he needed to talk to someone after a rough day. The officer told him to "get the sand out of his pussy". Why is that okay? Women complain about men's lack of emotion, but it is entirely thrust upon them by society. :woops:

I feel like this comes from either being around the wrong feminists or no feminists at all. The feminist movement has actually discussed for some time why we don't call ourselves a human rights movement because what we're fighting for IS human rights, but I think we stay with the old name because it's what it's always been. The movement IS aware of the mens issues and are fighting against them as well, but the things is the issues that men have are a result of patriarchy as well. Patriarchy is sooo damaging to males. But, this is probably for another thread... lol
 
@SexyStephXS
I think we'd have to both be watching the same things to really understand each other. The word 'feminism' is gonna have a different connotation for you than it would for me, so I can't even be sure we're discussing the same thing, ya know? My only experience and understanding of the movement has been coming from these Youtube channels I've been watching.

'Girlwriteswhat'
http://youtu.be/vp8tToFv-bA
This is sort of an introductory video. Also the channel, ManWomanMyth.

You don't have to watch her channel of course, but I can't imagine discussing what I (think) I know with you, without first sharing these videos.

So, I wouldn't say I've been hanging around the 'wrong feminists' personally, and drawing false conclusions about the movement from them. I have, however, been watching people discuss and pull back the curtain on a certain population of feminists that have it all wrong. You seem to be involved in a movement that is much more sound than the one 'girlwriteswhat' discusses, because you mentioned patriarchy being harmful to men as well as women. There are still some women that identify with feminism that would never admit that men are in a bad spot as well. Those are the women that I was talking about.

Man, we need a thread about this!

I watched some of her video and honestly it kind of offended me a little. It sounded a bit like she was BLAMING feminists for the issues. And I agree, somebody make a thread!!! lol

It's important to start at the right place to ease into it. Otherwise, it's incredibly offensive.

In this post I put down the "what order to watch these in". It's REALLY important to start with her video about the disposable male to get why it's important to take these videos seriously. As to a thread, this thread I posted awhile back, though it's more about a very specific video of hers.

However, since it was asked, I shall start one.

I can't imagine that there is a better place to post that video. All of our lives have been heavily affected by pornography. Thank you for posting that. It really hit home. I couldn't help thinking that webcamming, however, is somehow transcending the category of porn.

I think that there is a difference between recorded and live pornography. The sexual aspect of both is what makes them 'porn', but webcamming also involves human companionship. In the video, the speaker observes the differences between spending time with porn and spending time with a real-life mate. He describes the porn addict as someone deprived of human contact, and missing out on the emotional connections that a partner provides. When he mentioned this comparison, it hit me that webcamming is a mixture of both. Hence, webcamming's growing popularity as the masturbation material of choice.

I see this entire industry becoming the link that combines pornography and relationship. They've already made a sex toy (It is still very much in prototype phase.) that allows a man to feel the hand movements of the webcam girl in real-time. The very existence of this toy is proof that society wants to bridge the gap between porn and human relationship, and is doing a good job at it. I think that the more personalized that porn gets, the less harmful an 'addiction' to it will be. When a man craves his girlfriend or wife everyday, no one would say that it is an addiction. When a man spends everyday with a camgirl, I wouldn't say that is an addiction either. Spending time with a camgirl satisfies a man's sexual needs, without flooding the brain with constant novelty. The camgirl may be engaging in different conversation and activities everyday, but it is the same girl.

Anyway, I'm just thinking out loud. Thank you for that video! :clap:
 
I completely agree Kate, I was pondering how my impact to the "addiction" was after watching it, my head reeling reeling.

When I first started camming, I called it "Virtual Cuddling" & couldn't really justify calling it entirely sexual, since I wasn't a Nude model until this Year. I would mostly foster relationships, talk to people and hopefully help them smile & have a happier day. I don't feel like I even fit into the standard description of porn, since most of my acts were merely suggestive, and somewhat mildly so.
I think in our daily interactions with people online its clear that we are all fostering relationships with others. Like you said, we might be doing fun, new things, but I find that for the most part, the people who adore us like the consistency of spending time with us, because they enjoy who we are. Just like I like the consistency of spending time with my friends offline, or family, or chatting online with my non "adult themed" friends around the globe. I think its healthy, to a degree. Do I think there is a point where an addiction to a broadcaster may go too far? Of course I do, but those kinds of addictions happen to people in real life too, I'm sure we've all seen it.
I also think that there are the those who watch cams for a hyper-sexualized version of a reality show perhaps, and don't come for the human interaction, but more for the shock value, but I think those are fewer, and thats not my focus anyway. (or at least I hope its fewer?)

& Im not hating on liking novelty, for I am only human & easily distracted by shiny, pretty, new things too ;)

I feel like it followed along the lines of Video Games.. I've likened quite a few of my relationships to it (especially cause a few of those relationships were brought together by World of Warcraft... =/ hah). I feel like those guys had video game mentality to the relationship-- It wasn't that we had a problem that we should communicate about & address, it was that there was something wrong with the game (just being in a relationship period, because relationships are hard & take effort).

We've become lazy. (On my to-do list for tomorrow: Gain Impetus!)

Sorry if Im not making much sense, I went to family dinner and ate too much wine.

Tell me your thoughts.


At first I agreed with the other comments on YouTube how life is a race and the need to create new generations, etc. I can still see how that fits but i thought of something else after letting it set for a while...

In life most people are given the basic guidelines. It's up to us to take them and create something. No creation will be the same as someone else's because it comes from us. With life comes time restraints. We can either choose to make something out of it and leave the world with our creation, whatever that may be, or we can sit back, do nothing, and let the time escape us until there's nothing left. I think it's good to watch this all the way through and then watch the very beginning again. During the first view we don't realize that at the beginning he was just as scared and confused as his creation was at the end. He had just been given this book and didn't know what to do with it, but he went with it, tried different things, and in the end he succeeded and made something out of his life.
