Amanita muscaria ordered. @nolim1t should I bring you some to the HB? 😀 Great quality.

Just completed my 3rd Vipassana. The practice has many layers... Since it gives me so many benefits, will try to attend a retreat every 2-3 months for now and see how far I can go.

Are there any AIs that are able to perform tasks like "collect hadlines from this website in 2017" or similar tasks?

How has your life changed since you secured "enough" BTC to live the life you want? How have your priorities changed? What have you started doing more of? Asking for a friend.

When you consider how many changes have happened in the last couple of years... Answering a question "who are you" becomes more and more difficult. One day you're feeling one way, another in a different way... One day you have one set of beliefs, the other they are completely shattered. The only thing that's constant is change. Outside and inside.

Subscription model is broken. Trying to create an image for an event and they ask me to sign up for a whole year... And I only need 1 photo. Same with ChatGPT. Would just love to pay for what I'm going to use, rather than buying it for a whole year. Anyone solving these problems with lightning?

Met a former spokesperson for the White House. Super interesting experience trying to explain FIAT system and BTC and seeing her face changing as she was understanding it.

I sometimes wonder... How much our governments are not telling us? Years of capital misallocation... Years of using pesticides in our farmlands... Years of trashing our environment with plastic. I kind of did it myself by "voting" with my money/energy for all the things. I never said no to plastic. I hardly ever bought from local farmers. I hardly ever visited local stores... So I take responsibility for it. The question is - what will I be "voting" for going further? Local. Local. Local.

Doing a food intolerance test in a couple of days. Will be interesting to see what I've been eating that was causing mild inflammation in my body. Removal first and build up from there.

Microdosing amanita muscaria is already life-changing. Only 4 days in, but all the social anxiety is gone, connecting to new people became easy. The connection to my emotions is unparallel. Highly recommend it. And I heard it keeps getting better!

Nothing feels better than having a clear purpose. Just this drive and pure energy cursing through the body... Loving it.

The Path to Bitcoin and the Truth. Part ⅙. “Breathe, breathe”, I heard a whisper in my ear. I had no clue whether it was my own voice or someone else’s. For 3 minutes my body was in total shock. It forgot to breathe. I’m saying IT because I and my body were separate. IT wasn’t me. When I couldn’t take it any longer, my diaphragm started to contact, which forced this body to take its first breath. I don’t remember my first inhale when I was born, but I do remember this one. It was the longest, hardest yet the most rewarding breath I’ve ever taken. The first thought which came to my mind was: “Breath is life” Oxygen was filling up my lungs, and life started flowing through my body once again. That’s what yogis mean by life force/prana. The second thought wasn’t as blissful: “You fucked it up… How will you ever be able to live with this?” Yet there was no coming back. Once you see it, you can’t unsee it. My life took a turning point. This time though - I thought I’ve gone too far searching for the truth. Yes, I found the truth… But it wasn’t what I expected, or could handle at the moment. It felt as if I was a first grader who was sent to University exams. I wasn’t ready for it. I don’t think anyone is. And then the confusion kicked in. All I wanted to do was: 1. Kill myself 2. Forget what I saw. My girlfriend at the time was sitting in the corner of the room. She was observing the whole thing. A few moments later she came to me, hugged me and asked: “How was it?” I was out of words. I squeezed her as hard as I could and started crying. Out of gratitude and out of fear. What I had just learned was something beyond my wildest imagination. Beyond what all the spiritual gurus were telling me at the time. Something our ego can not accept or even comprehend. It can only be felt and experienced. “Was my life just a complete lie? Are we in a game without beginning or an end? Are we in a simulation? Some kind of a Matrix that we live in to experience it all?” And while more questions were coming to the mind of this character… All it could think of was distracting itself and pretending this had never happened. To somehow erase this experience from its memory. That’s why ego is better off being ignorant. _________ I've decided to introduce this character by telling a story on how this character came to be. Stay tuned for 5 more parts of the story where we'll meet witches, random strangers, synchronicities, beings from other frequencies, martial arts, #Bitcoin and truth itself. #introduction
