From a small meetup in Toronto to an epic Bitcoiner wedding in California what a journey it has been View quoted note →

Cheers to @Bitcoin Jungle for helping host a beautiful evening watching the first screening of the film @paul keating have been working on. What a great night! View quoted note →

It’s hilarious wearing a shirt that says Bitcoin out in public. Everyone stars at you, a lot seem triggered in some way

If you do something like qi gong or taiji or even the subtler aspects of yoga but have not gone through a specific process of opening the body, soaking the mind into the tissues and fascia, followed by consilidating the yin field around your lower abdomen to gather Qi, which is a multi-year process, you are pretty much just waving your arms around and it is more it less totally pointless aside from it being a light form of physical exercise. You don’t automatically have these things, it’s like someone going to the gym and trying to bench 300 pounds. There is a long process of conditioning and preporation to find the Qi and thicken it. Then when the channels in the hands open, the arm movements drag the Qi through the body, tonifying the organ systems

People in new age scenes seem to think you can “open your chakras” using your intention. They are just like, okay, I’m going to light some incense, focus my attention on my root chakra, relax, see what emotions come up, and then voila, I’ve “opened my root chakra”. It’s like, huh? What? Does nobody know what the actual signs were that someone had literally “opened their root chakra?” Like - mastery over all the elements of nature? Lol. Like, telekinesis, moving objects with your mind? Or how about the “laghima” siddhi - the ability to make your body weightless, basically, flying. Most people will read that and think it is silly, just some fanciful wishful thinking. But it’s really not, it’s a thing and has always been a thing. It’s just that our culture has become so degenerate and confused that we have lost contact with what a human being is and what it is capable of. Therefore I don’t personally think anyone on the planet today has literally opened any chakras at all, much less become “spiritually awakened” - a state of being that is so profound it would fundamentally change how the energy and consciousness of the person connects to reality, and simply being in this persons presence would warp time and space around you, much like the accounts of encountering Jesus or Buddha were talked about. However these days, in modern times you are “awakened” because you know a bunch of conspiracy theories or because you are aware of your emotions or because you eat a certain way? 🤔. Maybe, just maybe, it’s actually about something much much deeper and profound….

The idea of a guided meditation is a bit of an oxymoron. If you’re aware of anything coming through the sense gates, whether it’s a slow speaking voice or calm music, well, I mean you’ve literally failed to enter a “medititave state”, lol.

Discernment, underrated. Humility, underrated

I’ve been working on this film for a while with @paul keating . Check out the first trailer here… View quoted note →

If you find yourself judging others around how their behaviour is right or wrong, good or bad, natural or unnatural, etc, one way to lighten up on that is to hold the perspective that most of the time the actions people take are just the medium through which their soul moves about the lessons it wants to learn. For instance let's say you encounter a hardcore vegan. They go around telling everyone what to eat, how they are morally superior, how they're more spiritual than you because they eat fruit all day. And maybe that is annoying (it definitely is), but really, that's just the surface level expression of what their soul is learning. For instance, they could be learning about what it means to have integrity. Or, they could be cultivating certain qualities around discipline, consistency, aligning their mental fabrications around morality with their actions. All interesting and valuable things to grow on the soul level.

I just can’t take people who vape seriously. What are you doing bro.

Trying to remember Where we came from Before losing touch with Everything around us Lost in thinking We were separate Somehow distant from our source Somewhat guilty Just for living Yearning to recall The ancient memories For living Hidden somewhere In a trauma Where we were worthy Just for being

Feels like crunch time in the good ole matrix. Chaos everywhere

Anyone else starting to become allergic to computers?
