A clear, calm mind
Serene
Sharp
Focused
Creative
How do you get there?
Obviously, the ingredients would be:
>Breathing deeply (proper air circulation)
>Letting go of thoughts and feelings, not getting entangled with them
>Accepting pains and annoying things instead of fighting them impotently
>Focusing on the present moment
But how do you get there? Also, are there other things to be aware of? Maybe proper food or avoiding certain things?

Currently I'm trying to restrict my conscious efforts to breathing and to observing. The result is that my body is moving on its own. I'm just observing it do it's thing, and making sure that I breathe properly.

How do you do it, if at all?

Not as much as you would think, especially if you are doing simple shit like lining up audio to video, running the dialog through a noise filter, or moving clips around.
General computer intensive stuff is applying extensive digital filters and other high level features.
Even basic rendering can be done on a kinda shit computer now days.

Objectively untrue.

Litterally untrue.
>it's not stable
It's not meant to be. It's gig work. Gig work is inherently unstable.
This is just stuff to earn a bit of start up capital for something else.
It's better then doing farm labor or factory work in the third world for third world wages. That work leaves you too tired and poor to work on anything on the side.
Gig work for westerners isn't as demanding and offers relatively better pay. The trade off is less stablity, which isn't as much of a issue in this situation since down times will give the chance to work on stuff outside of gig work. Like building a proper business plan for your own independent business.

Regardless, you are just exaggerating to justify your defeatist pessimistic world view. Likely to make yourself feel better about giving up. So you want others to validate your choice of giving up and staying in your bucket of chosen helplessness.

Did your thoughts originate from your head?
The universe, and our planet in particular, is a constant electromagnetic field of signals and frequencies in transference. These unseen pulses interact with and upon the human bio-electric field, subtly tuning them to various states of consciousness. The higher level coordination of this signalling is the Schumann resonance, which is the sum total frequency of ongoing electrical activity on earth. The qualia of Consciousness itself, for instance, is ultimately bioelectric. Does it therefore imply that at some level the electrical activity of one consciousness may actually in some indirect way subtly transfer through this field?

Around the turn of the century when occult thinking became vogue, it was quite popular to speculate on collective consciousness. The theory of the noosphere was coined by Chardin and others for instance. Simultaneously, occultists deduced the concept of the Tulpa, Egregore, or thought-form; Theoretically generated by the ongoing mental activity of a group of practitioners. According to the occult view of the world, the collective mental energy of human beings could create a God on the Post too long. Click here to view the full text.

The more wizards work together, the more our “god” will begin to take shape in reality. Really I think mutual cooperation between many men sharing the same strategic end is what effectually makes a group god. Without potentially offending any wiz here, I do not believe in the abrahamic god, and so in saying that, and without owning to atheism (which I won’t), I may also say that the “rise of the west” likely had more to do with men discreetly leaguing themselves together under terms of common political and philosophical positions rather than the broad sponsorship of some abrahamic deity.

Also this notion of morphogenic fields, to me, sound very similar to the original pythagorean belief in the tetractys, and the four separate world-levels that this illustrative triangle encodes. The kabbalists used the ancient Pythagorean model when they created their theory of four worlds.

The word "morphogenic" when understood etymologically means "shape-creating", which is in line with what I will talk about below. In any case I will try to draw the tetractys for you, thus:

*
**
***
****

It was kind of hard to align it properly, but as you can see, it's essentially just 1 triangle with 10 points. however, it was taken by the original pythagoreans (of whom Aristocles, aka Platon/Plato, was one) to be a diagram of the emanation sequence that gave birth to this world, something which the greeks called aporrhoia, which literally means "off-flowing", just as emanatio (emanation) in latin means "out-flowing". The triangle can be interpreted in many ways. Looking at is as a series of "morphogenic fields" is also plausible. I will get back to this in a second.

Firstly and most exoterically it describes basic geometry with the topmost dot representing a point in space, the second line of two dots representing a line in space, the third line of three dots representing a plane in space, and the fourth line of four dots representing a three-dimensional solid in space. Secondly, it can be taken to be representative of perfect numerical wholeness/unity, as all levels of reality (visible and intelligible, or in greek, oratos and noetos) can be seen as encompassed by the perfect number of 10. Also if we add 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 we get 10, again demonstrating how the levels form one perfect whole. “«μέχρι γὰρ τῶν δέκα πάντες Post too long. Click here to view the full text.

maybe it's just as simple as intensified electromagnetic interaction between human bodies working toward a common purpose which is then subjectively perceived by the group to have affected reality in some intended way? but there would be no way of actually measuring this. the ancients did believe that a thinking concentrated mind could physically alter the realty it resides in, so I have no doubt that many minds working together to reify given change in reality could produce a greater alteration. but even with that stated, I think any such psychical power (if it were real) is probably very limited and cannot literally meaningfully change reality in the way you are imagining. take "covid-19" for instance. jewish and masonic occultists were behind this worldwide fraud, and you can be utterly certain they employed whatever "pan-psychic" group influence they possess in order to have yielded the greatest possible power that would have resulted in the largest share of the public taking their injection. yet their power is nowhere near absolute, as there were sufficient numbers that avoided their "reality-bending" illusions. also, the earth is not a convex spherical planet, it is a flat torus in 3-sphere. we are on the inside of the earth between two bodies of water. and demons are very real.

Do you take philosophical tenets from specific authors or do you tend to criticize and even correct them until the point of elaborating your own wiews apart entirely.

Everytime I engage groups about this, they are always talking about non trascendent sutff told by Camus or Kant which brings not much to my mind. Did you wizards find anyone out there worth having his ideas spread and well known or rather useless and obsolete while having better eyes for your own counterceptions?

nearly all major philosophers were gay men. you know this, right? all the original greek philosophers (with aristoteles as an exception) were quite literally gay mystics who hated w/o/m/e/n. gnosticism is EXTREMELY gay. the G in freemasonry indeed stands for gnosis, but just as well may stand for gay. there is a particular verb in latin which is "paedicare" which means "to sodomize"; however the origin of this verb is the ancient greek verb "paiderastein/παιδεραστειν", which itself comes from one of the words for boy "pais/παις", which declines to "paidos/παιδος". Read the following sentences from a philosophical encyclopedia I found some years ago:

“Those men who are ‘fertile in body’ fall in love with w/om/en and beget children (208e), but those who are ‘fertile in soul’ transcend the limitation (209a), and the ‘right approach’ is open to them alone.”

“The erastes tries to educate the eromenos (209c; cf. Xen. Smp. 8.23) and ‘paiderastein rightly’ (211b) is philosophical education.”

faggot comes with a wild claim that every philosopher was gay. Prion disease has degenerated his brain and projects his homosexuality onto other men, he also worships succubi and the feminine as his goal in life is to get fucked by other men getting as many stds as possible.

You can survive off of only neetbux but it's tricky. Typically you would live with family or a roommate. If you can get subsidized housing then it's even possible to live by yourself, but this can take a long time. I'm talking years of waiting. However, as a wizard, living alone is preferable at least for me.

do other wizards by chance have a good system they use to keep track of all the things they want to do? seems like such a trivial little obstacle but i've only gotten better at it slowly.

i notice that i keep wanting to do things and then forgetting about it and then when i am bored and could spend some time on stuff, i don't remember it. when i don't have time, i remember everything, when i do have time, i remember nothing.

to do lists also don't work because i don't check them. physical to do lists work better then digital ones.

calendars i have tried on and off again but i do believe the cons outweigh the pros. there has to be something better.

i've noticed other carpe diem wizards in this place, i'd very much appreciate your stories on what worked for you.

what kind of helped me since spring is the attempt to stop being so nocturnal and live throughout the day because sunlight is so healthy and i have been missing out on it most of my life. i wake up as rush hour traffic calms down and i am ready to go maybe around 09:00 or 10:00. during the first half of the day i try to accomplish stuff and eat and drink ridiculously healthy and light. then i try to be back around 16:00 because much later then that and i can't find a parking space anymore, this shit is severely limiting my spontaneity. living in the dense city was a mistake i am hoping to change soon. then after i come back i usually do stuff around the appartment, keep it well maintained because i do not have the space to let just a single dirty dish lay around for too long. once i neglect stuff and stuff starts to accumulate, everything in my place breaks down. stupid cramped situation.

long story short trying to be active during the day made me progress from being able to accomplish almost nothing in a day to accomplishing a few things. i still have days where i am just on strike and can't do anything but recently the days appear where i work on stuff from morning to evening and then fall asleep tired and satisfied. it is very hard to accomplish stuff when i go to bed at 4:00 and wake up around 12:00.

also just always planning the next day has been working wonders for me.

have you tried a bullet journal? get a nice high quality notebook like a moleskine and just keep it around you. there's videos on youtube about people's journals. you can go as fancy or simple as you want, although then it becomes an arts & craft project. the idea is to just have your plans and ideas in one place and to get into the habit of just having it around.

other alternative is obsidian if you prefer digital. i keep all my notes in one place and whenever i have an idea or something, i just write a note and throw it on the pile. obsidian is pretty cool since you can connect notes and you don't have to create a hierarchy, it's very flexible. i keep a separate note for every tv show, movie, anime that i watch and i can keep track which episode i last watched and when, so i can drop shows and pick them up any time. you can also write daily notes and treat it like a diary. or you could go deep into a subject, write down separate notes and then connect them with a hub note. if someone posts some wizdom in this thread and it lights up your neurons, you can save it in a note. when you have time, you can search for specific tags or names and explore your giant web of notes. it's pretty cool.

heh i noticed the opposite in me. i prefer to make my lists on discarded envelopes that i fish out of the paper wastebasket.

the problem is not having a clear view of what i want to accomplish. i'm like a monkey traveling through a forest who gets distracted and lost a lot and then wants to climb a tree to find out where i am so i can go back on my path but then there are no trees around so i can't do it, that's how it feels.

>the habit of just having it around.


this is probably the biggest thing i am still missing.

>other alternative is obsidian if you prefer digital.


with digital i find it even harder to build habits and also i stopped trusting that computers will bring humans into a better future, given how they became tools for dystopian authoritarian centralization. age of digital colonization. i can't stand it, makes me sick just thinking about it.

i didn't find those personalty types useful ever. i can somewhat agree with the basic premise of having the 4 categories but to imply that there are 16 different personalities seems ridiculously over the top.

there aren't 16 different types of people, have you been around people? there's no more then 5.

i consider normies and crazies much more useful personality descriptors:

>normies believe in normality, they want to be just like the people around them, imitate them, belong to them, seek safety in large groups and conspire with others to seek advantage over those who don't conspire. they want to study smart and successful people and imitate what they do without understanding it. they believe in normaliy, they order the videos on pornhub by top_rated or most_views. most people are normies. normies are boring, predictable, gullible and destined to become what they hate.


>crazy is everyone else.


another perspective i think is better is consumers and constructors and they largely match normies and crazies. most normies are consumers, a lot of crazies are constructors.

>constructors want to invent solutions to problems and they don't mind sharing the solutions for free.


>consumers want to throw money at problems, which turns them into humans who relate to other humans mostly monetarily. consumers love when they personally get something for free but hate when others get something for free, which is why they like to criminalize whenever there is something for free.

Any of you guys do deep creative inner visualization? I'm talking seeing the apple in your mind, being able to recreate and interact with worlds you create. It's a skillset taught during gateway meditation and "astral projection".

I enjoy reading/memorizing d&d modules and then imagining travelling and playing the game inside my head sometimes. It's also fun to take a well-remembered video game world and traverse it mentally from a first person perspective.

Anybody else do this?

 No.312824

sounds very cool, i don't think i have experienced any of this. i might not be using my phantasy and crativity that much because i am so busy catching up on basics in real life like using tools, buildling furniture, not drowning in consumerist mess, spending money that keeps accumulating regardless of how little i get, using my time wisely.

i am always hesitant of anything that might become a mental escape for me the way video games have been.

what i found in deep meditation was effortless contentment. happiness as the default sate. unconditional completeness. so i usually default to keeping my mind empty. though i have experienced glimpses of what you speak. dreaming of fantasy places that do not suffer from the same cultural limits that is keeping humanity down has been enjoyable to me in the past.

it's quite easy to accomplish. The meme that people can't see internal objects is quite wrong, it's a skillset like any other and related to serotonin levels. Take 5htp for a bit and sensitize the 5ht2a receptor and you will be able to vividly "see" in your mind's eye. The tricky bit I've found is that sometimes your mind automatically wants your inner world to work in certain ways whereas you might want to do something totally different. Control of the frame without totally breaking the sequence is a skill for sure
