Or maybe... just maybe... thy're the same thing! Zomg I'm doing it! Damn... gave too much of a fuck, ruined it.

Irony is a mastery of truth. Perhaps it's the opposite.

I don't see how you can avoid that though. — Agustino

Have you tried not giving a fuck? Lol. I swear by it.

I'm saying that he has the same method of anxiety relief. Falls to shit though when things do stuff you aren't expecting.

Oh yeah, death imprisoned him in a sack of his own skin, and seeing as the outside world became entirely unknowable to him from there, he decided that it didn't exist.

Asura is the villain of soul eater, he swallowed his own soul out of fear of it, and spreads his madness of paranoia and existential anxiety, only feeling confident with a complete grasp of the causes, and situation.

Maka is a weapon master, that wields her soul like a weapon, her father being death himself's scythe, but since she harbored resentment towards him, she became a weapon master rather than a weapon herself.

So for me, if I'm not logical and analytical, and don't know everything, then I would be anxious. — Agustino

Sounds like Asura's shtick, trapped in a sack of his own skin. I'm of course Maka, the weapon that took the path of the meister.

Bring it, son.

Just training to be unsurpassable, that's all.

Using my "I'll show them" resentment power, I really tried hard today. The heart chakra, the chest, the thumb, the ball of the foot. Because it is the strongest, largest, and fastest muscle group, it both takes the longest to heat up, and get involved. Like goddamned shiva, with my fifty arms flipping switches in there, what we tend to do is hinge off of it the most, you see the big visible tendons, and the way people are continually locking their thumb joints when they grab or tare at things with jerking and contortion.

Gotta have equal and opposing force through both balls of the feet, importantly beginning to ground with the outside heel, then to the ball, then twist the innerds outward without actually moving the feet or pointing them outwards (this is why people's feet go more and more outwards and their legs collapse, also indicative of lots of tension and weight being held in the butt. Doing a lot of sitting down while you rest. You shouldn't cool down in weird positions, it'll stick. That's why corpse pose is the most important yoga one.) Running the weight along the smaller toes, and then back up the inside of the legs. If you just go from outside heel to big toe, then you likely favor the heart, and I hate you. You beautiful thin fuckers. It's a snake eating its own tail though, so energy cannot escape, it must circulate. Think of the way fighters are taught to turn their feet, rolling over the smaller toes. This is to ground them, fulling the upper body down, if you neglect them, torso will lengthen, legs shorten.

Also super important, like super duper important, never fucking flex or tense up when lifting, or moving. The only tension is in the feet and hands. Everywhere else you're working to release it. Release it here, release it there, and release it every where.

This group pulls you towards the center line, hooking at the major joints somehow. Major noticing points being the elbows and the knees. Pulling the elbows inwards towards the solar plexus, and pulling the knees together. Using the tension of the group rather than a proper hand off and lift from the smaller groups will lengthen the group, stretching it, and rarely if ever contracting it.

As I said before though, all of the alignment and tinkering in the world won't get this job done, as I can only move parts, and not the whole. Needs to infuse the homunculus with soul.

I'm sleeping fine now, that is addressed, and was the catalyst of the OP, that I discovered the cause and overcame it. Holding a bunch of weight in the back of the neck. You know why people like cold war kids are aware of it? Because it feels a hell of a lot different having a million in the bank rather than ten bucks. It's relieving, when one had worries about such things they were constantly carrying before. Also, the emotional side begins to wake, and become more involved, because you live doesn't suck now. Why people turn to stimulants, because it wakes you up forcibly to some degree, by is an abuse that leads to numbness and damage with time.

Cold war kids draw a distinction between the two as fear, and love, something like that. "When my heart won't break, when my knees won't shake." Also, "I'm self absorbed and you're superficial", though many interpret it as ego and soul, or self and god, or whatever.

Frankly you guys just don't know what you're talking about. You guys spend more time on here doing fuck all than I do.

You'll never get through the dough to his pea brain. Say she owns planes, then he might believe she's on to something,

I live to give.

Lol, hardly deep down. I'd describe it as conflicting ambitions. Yeah so I just want mundane things, good relationships, low stress, and family that I can keep from imploding. Or even more simply than that, clean up more, groom myself more, watch my tone and aggression, go to the damn gym, or somewhere with people.

I'm not exactly on great terms atm for this exact reason.

This is irrelevant though, even if second tier, doesn't mean it isn't happening, that I'm not doing it.

Attempting to open the heart chakra. First one I can't just conquer... bleh. The balancing, and union of contradictions, and oppositions. Sounds like it entails some level of fusion at least, despite it being unbinding, and separation that brings it about... it'll all make sense to me later, I'm sure.

Kant pointed out that the only measurable aspect of the inner sense is time. My addition would be that time moves much much slower in the void, and much much faster in the spirit world. I like the name the "subtle body", as it is behind the scenes, and isn't any of the forms of its representation.

I think that a good definition is that it is externally indistinguishable from psychosis, only instead of making you sicker, it makes you healthier. This is something that is documented, and difficult to dispute, and measurable from the outside.

Oh, I like that a lot. I was going to comment yesterday on the what it means for something to be physical thread yesterday that it means that it has visual form. I thought this, because after making the thread, I decided to watch some documentaries on it, but they're so ripe with nonsense. It's such a subtle and complex issue, that it is very difficult for most to have any decent discernment of. So that the documentary I watched did a whole lot of visual form comparison as if it was at all significant. Things about things looking like the penial gland, always having a literal visual vision of the thousand petaled lotus, which also looks like all these other things, and the two snakes coiling around one another to someday meet, if grace allows, also visually being similar in form to all of these other things, so therefore probably being related or something.

The whole idea of platonism is based on the notion that visual perception is less reliable than intuition, insight that goes beyond the visual, or material.

You know, hunting dogs (parents raised them when I was a kid) have to be taught to use their nose, otherwise they'll just look for things. The easiest way is of course for them to have themselves a Guru dog, that does use it's nose, and then continually finds all the hidden goodies right in front of them with ease, while they find nothing.

People even often imagine themselves to be seated right behind the eyes. There is also that Autistic woman that argues that animals cannot abstract, but only ever see specific things of their own past experiences, and not general forms of them, as she only sees and thinks this way.

Looks can be deceiving. I said that the other guy looked greater. He dangerously reveals his barefoot to me though, both would be nice, but based on that you can see a nearly collapsed arch good connection to the knuckles, but small thin heel. Where's your back and legs bro? Better arm alignment than mine though.

I completely agree, and am not a proponent of the theory myself. I'm not even sure if that guy is strongly, or what kind of issues with it he has addressed or anything, just on the surface it struck me that the one guy's theory implies that the other guy would be objectively greater than he is.

I don't know who either of them are. Having looked them up some, wikipedia says that Herman is a proponent of the great men theory of history. Wilber both looks pretty greater, and is massively more influential and well known than he is. That means, by his theory that he is objectively greater.

Now, this isn't like populism, or that they are just thought to be great, or that greatness is generated by their influence or popularity, but that they were in fact great and that is why they're so influential and popular. One cannot cherry pick them either, as saying that some men of history were great is a flaccid assertion, far far distinct from "world history is the history of great men.". The only out I see is to attempt to distinguish between period history, and general history -- attempting to claim that well someone may be popular and influential in their own life, they aren't genuinely great without general history staying power. As in, they weren't just popular in their time, but are commonly known and influential across time periods, and into modernity -- but that's a short-ass list, and neither them are on it.

Hmm, yeah, good point... I think that I may be mustering some attention soaking ire now myself.

We simply process negative emotions, and the rain clouds before the positive emotions, the silver linings. So that one must move through them first always. Trudge through hell before you make it to the gates of heaven. The holy scientists decree that this is probably because it's just more costly, and life threatening to not be all over the dangerous, and negative, which could harm, disrupt or kill you. Whereas missing something positive isn't going to kill you, or destroy you, unless of course, you begin to chronically miss the positive. Even suggest that attempting to find a silver lining to the most dire of circumstances, or an upside to some downsides is downright immoral!

Bruce Lee said it best, it is difficult to not feel pretty fucking cool all the damn time. It makes you flex more, pose more, and just generally alters and affects behavior not based in sensory experience, but on reflection and judgment. It's to obsess on the finger, and miss the heavenly glory.

You're welcome.

Okay I lied. Get in line.
