  • That's a good sign, honestly.

    Your feeling is telling you that you are about to make some "significant" change.

    I believe in you. Now you believe in yourself.

    EDIT:
    I'm actually going through something similar myself. I've always wanted to be a teacher, and now I'm like one week away from actually doing that. It's nerve-wracking.

  • The dark time before time existed.

  • say yes

  • Like, I have a natural tendency towards the "spirit world". So it comes easy to me.

  • I mean, I'm not sure what to say to this one, except remember that all life is valuable, including yours.

    Though I admit that sometimes, things are difficult, and I don't know what to say.

  • Yeah, this idea is pretty widespread.

    To give you a short summary:

    • In India people very long time ago came up with a concept named "Chakra", which means something like "spiritual energy". It's not energy in the physical sense, but something more like willpower, concentration or sth.
    • In Jewish mysticism, people came up with a concept named "Sefirot" in their studies (Kabala). It's different words, but basically it means the same thing or something very similar to Chakra. It is "the aspects of god inside the human", so, in other words, spiritual powers.
    • In christian religion, they have "the seven deadly sins", which represent malfunctions of each of the spiritual energies. For example, if your hunger doesn't work, it becomes gluttony. If your responsibility doesn't work, it becomes greed. These "sins" are supposed to be warning signs, to lead you back to the proper function of each spiritual energy.
    • There's more examples of religion coming up with a very similar concept, but these are the most-well-known.

    Oh, and I forgot: In almost all religions, or schools of spirituality, there's said to be seven (though the number varies depending on context) "spiritual energies" or centers, and they are commonly associated with the internal organs. They are said to be mere symbolism for your character (word is cognate with "chakra"), which in turn is a direct result of the configuration of your internal organs.

    If you want any link, this one might do, though I admit, it is dificult getting good-quality resources on this. Most of what I know I have learned over years, and a lot of it from introspection. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me.

  • Actually, I believe it should be possible (albeit horrendously slow) by memory-mapping the disk to address space.

  • It's not "so pure", I was just trying to extrapolate from whatever crappy description for the seven sefirot was given. Mine is water/tummy, which is called "charity" here, and purple/spiritual, which is called "humility" here. I'm referring to this here:

  • I can also very much recommend lentins.

    They are good. There's even pasta made out of lentins. It is gluten free. You use it like ordinary pasta. It's good.

  • Exactly. There may be a numerous jobs, but do they pay well?

  • Like, there's tons of philosophy to the question "what is (the) I".

    I like the buddhism answer that the I is only an idea, and therefore non-physical and timeless. The material just flows and sometimes happens to be in one shape and another. The consciousness, which we perceive when we see something, is more like a dream that shouldn't be taken too seriously.

    There's a Zen riddle to that: (riddle of the wind) Two student monks were standing in front of a flag that was moving in the wind.
    The first monk said: The flag is moving.
    The second disagreed: No, the wind is moving.
    Along the way came the zen master.
    The students asked him: Is the flag moving, or is the wind moving?
    Upon which the master replied: It is neither the flag that is moving nor the wind that is moving; It is the soul that is moving.

  • Honestly, I'm scared of clicking the link. I will just presume it wasn't serious.

  • your fantasies

    no, I was just making a point.

  • Is that a kink of yours? Is that a kink of anyone?

  • I disagree. Drawings are a save, harmless way to live out your fantasies.

  • Mine would be charity and humility, I guess?
