I know Osho, I’m utterly retarded 
You know you can’t take things seriously when YT gives you these kind of recommendations 
@AlexanderGraves wtf is this? 
Looking at this clip again, I’m beginning to believe these two guys are enlightened or something, they look so happy, like life is fulfilled for them… they found their life’s mission and expression 
EDIT:
This is kinda how I see @Skadoosh ending up as the third wheel in this awesome band after he has conquered the world, but at last come to realize just how fun it is to smile and make bird sounds on stage 
I know this video from the past lol
Still don’t know wtf is going on

When you really think about it Democracy is basically a “popularity contest” so in a way I would say he’s not wrong.

Yeah that’s how I see it as well, it’s just the way to get someone or groups or someone’s in to a certain position of power. That’s where it stops and the system can be scheiße and vastly different from country to country.

Not only that, in a position that holds so much power the leader many times has to take decisions that would be hard and common people wouldn’t like. So in a democracy those decisions mostly wouldn’t be taken because it would diminish the popularity of the said person in the position of power.
Which is why changes are very slow in democracies.

Yes, there’s pros and cons to all systems for sure. To me personally I have just adopted a growth mindset and grow exponentially every day within myself, the rest is just on the periphery. To me the best system would be one that just gives as much support and nurture the individual to grow, but that starts with learning children something that they can actually use. The first years in school should only be about learning them the power on their own minds, and how to use it IMO.

He speaks - takes 3 minutes of breathing - continues the sentence

I’ve been bitten with the Chess bug over the last 1.5 months, and I gotta say it’s a crazy game and it easily gets addictive. I’m still 3 digits in ELO and learning a lot, but I’m aiming to reach a 1000 pretty soon which shouldn’t be too hard if I stick to it. In the future I would be happy to reach 2000 but not something I must do but a fun side activity.
Also when I grow up to be a big boy, or rather when I find where I want to live more permanently going forward, I want a sexy physical Chess board. I’ve never realized how much of a decoration piece a chess board is, and also fun place to practice my skills outside of a computer screen.

Take your herbs and get plenty of rest. I got bitten many years ago, and I’ve since recovered. There are so many variations of chess.
One version was that if your pawn reaches the other side, you can make it a bomb that will destroy anything within 1 square. Position it correctly and you could take out 3 or more of your opponent’s pieces.
And as for 3D chess, that’s a mind bender.

There are for sure many types of Chess 
I just feel that Chess is so much better to have a side thing than all of these other dopamine swamps, as it is so tactical and good for learning and seeing patterns, which sharpens the mind rather and is also fun.
Also the amount of millions and millions of combinations makes it so much like life, it just never looks the same almost, and once you think you have got it and get a bit nonchalant… then it smacks you across the face and laughs at you

Some updates
I have come to realize that I needed a clear distinction on the main purpose of my life. After three years of up and downs and a lot of confusion after years and years of cleaning up and growing up, my old perception of what my life is was just completely crushed.
Been thinking a bit and growing into my new way of prioritizing for a while, and it is starting to make a lot more sense now 
Because ultimately was has happened lately is that I started to build myself up again thinking I want this or that, but just to fall flat again when I was suddenly not interested anymore.
Over the last year since I started my dedicated mediation practice of TWIM, which is a Buddhist form of meditation, there’s has been so many of these moments where I strive for something and then just out of the blue, I have a huge dispassion towards it. Also the absurd depth and speed in this form of meditation had me so deep, that I got a bit scared to continue as it was changing my personality so fast, and it made most of my old craving go away and created a big void 
The fact is that I went from barely being able to sit for 30 minutes, to sitting completely still for almost 3 hours and reaching as far as touching the 7th Jhana, The Base of Nothingness (Upekkha,) which is also funnily enough pure masculine polarity in form of full equanimity. A bomb could literally go off next to me and I would not even flinch 
It was such a cool state to be in and I could see even the tiniest movement of my mind, and I could easily neutralize it and move on, that’s how sharp the mind was at that moment.
Then something happened and I lost the practice more or less over the summer, and with that I lost most of the benefits of having the practice. But what stayed was the personality changes it had brought with it, and also more disenchantment to the level of that all I saw around me was just that all everyone ever does, is try to be happy and to lessen the suffering in their own lives, but with no or little awareness of it…
Funny thing I also realized in the story that most must have read or heard about in life of Buddha, is when he ventured for the first time outside his protected environment in the castle, and all of a sudden he saw all the suffering and death around him 
That’s kind of what I have felt recently, just an overall tiredness of having to suffer all the time just by doing things out of habitual tendencies and having no conscious awareness of it.
I do want to point out here that I also realize that there are stages to this, and intellectually I know from people I know that has gone through and had attainments in this mediation (Nibbana,) that one gains an unshakeable understanding and knowingness into this human suffering thing, and that it lessen and lessen until it is not a thing anymore.
I know this firsthand from my own life since starting TWIM, that as example cleaning which I used to hate when I was younger. But now I can just be in a flow instead and time just simple flies by. This happened the other day as I cleaned the kitchen, I just entered a flow state and didn’t resist it but instead used the meditation as I was doing it, and all of a sudden an hour flies by, and I’m simply in ecstasy cleaning the kitchen lol.
One good way to describe this is the classic saying: - Before enlightenment; chop wood, carry water. After enlightenment; chop wood, carry water. It’s the same task but it just stops being a chore but instead turns into meditation. So you can do boring stuff but don’t suffer, you can be in pain but don’t have to suffer from it.
Just made me thing of the saying, - No pain no gain! Haha, so yes you can have pain and grow from it while you suffer, but why not be in pain and don’t suffer form it, but also grow I mean that’s a Win = Win in my book at least…
Also lately, I have through my mentor group being introduced to the very deep concept of, Unplugging From Validation 
This is some serious inner work where you start becoming aware of all the times you are seeking validation and just stop doing it, which often includes just doing or saying what you are afraid of saying because you fear what others might think of it. It’s way deeper than this, but the gist of it is not seeking validation, but only to be validated as the human being you are without all these facades and mechanisms we have build up during our lives.
I got to say that by adding this validation thing, and then to pair it with three years of some serious awakening stuff and leaving my old country and friends behind, life slows down and things deep within you starts to change and align. But also it brings so much confusion… but that’s okay, and also I’m slowly building back up my meditation to where it was before and beyond 
I know that desiring a thing like Nibbana is why you won’t have it, and it is the final thing to be let go of before having that experience, but my intuition is telling me that if I just stay diligent it will happen to some degree in this lifetime. But time will tell, if it happens it happens 
But now to my point not long overdue behind a wall of text lol… I have categorized into 2 parts the building of my future in this incarnation, and it goes like this
1. Waking up
2. Character Building
The point of it being that the awakening part brings with it way to much change, and I mean literally becoming a different person to really be able to have it in any other way than the most prioritized part. Then after that is my character build just like in a computer game 
But hold on, even in those games you play on you computer, you never just stick to one character or you’d be bored to tears after a while…
You play one and level it up, but after a while you want to start over with a new character with a new set of traits. Of course I won’t loose any traits and I won’t technically have to start over lol, but you get what I mean by it, and also this game you and I are playing 24/7 is way cooler and has way better graphics than any computer game has.
So I can lessen my current confusion just be reminding myself that waking up is the coolest and most prioritized thing, and then afterwards I can go outside and play with my character… 
Because ultimately waking up is to awaken to this very existence and this current moment, and this current moment is utterly perfect… All else is just noise and mental masturbation, and just like going to a football game with your friends, it’s fun and exciting, but the game will end and life goes on…

Currently I have gone back to my old love of OG Khan, and I have just completed Total Breakdown and started Khan Total Reprogramming. My plan is to go through all the stages one cycle each and then rethink and see what the new wealth scripting will bring in November. I might also go back to the Alchemist which was part of my stack as i made all the progress in my meditations over the last year or so.

I’m going to share the number one thing I have found so far in my life that makes any sense… the only thing I would say if that was the only thing I could communicate to others lying on my death bed…
HAKUNA MATATA!
As soon as you try to change what is here, that what is the truth, well then you will suffer… I am the maker of my own suffering and my own pain, and that goes for you tooooo… fighting against the truth and swimming against the current is the most sure-fire way to live a miserable life…
Look around and all seem like utter chaos in our human existence… but then again look closer… is that really the truth? Or is it your conditioned mind that has been running amok and thus has been programmed through the lens of poor little me and the world is so fu**ed up?
Look no further than nature itself… it’s utter perfection… but so are you… cause… you’re part of it… so that makes me the maker of my own contentment and my own happiness… seem kinda stupid to try and outsource such an important thing such as your own happiness…
So it’s up to you… either it is hell on earth… or it’s simply Hakuna Matata! Either it’s recon and pain… or it’s the best thing that has ever happened to you…
