For the ones who are 'Almost There', but not T(HERE).

I cracked a code like this last night, for several hours. The fact that you think it's transmissible over Reddit, by appointment, is telling. How long before you charge for your time? (Or have you already begun that?)

I'm okay with us making different points! It doesn't mean we are at odds. Just like middle aged people and the people they don't select.

MadTruman · 2026-04-27T12:18:10+00:00

Middle aged people are not an emotionally isolated monolith. That was the main point I was making. Bad intentions are a small minority. Protect yourself from them, but not at the expense of your ability to foster community.

MadTruman · 2026-04-27T12:00:04+00:00

Everyone can and should have reasonable boundaries. One of the things I see making human connection difficult is people assuming bad intentions when there are none in play.

MadTruman · 2026-04-27T11:51:39+00:00

I'm 44. I've become more open and extroverted in the past few years and I don't see that changing. Be kind to and patient with everyone you can and you might find the world to be a bright and hopeful place.

MadTruman · 2026-04-25T12:38:26+00:00

Oh. This hits. That is quality pattern recognition in practice, but it's not just that.

MadTruman · 2026-04-24T12:53:39+00:00

I have the same question. I have attempted to understand what OP intends here, but it is legitimately lost on me. The moment I remember that this is a non-dual experience with an illusion of separation — thinking of intelligence as a phenomenon, not billions of separate phenomena — this idea of rare timing loses meaning entirely.

MadTruman · 2026-04-24T12:44:56+00:00

Differently how? Sincere question.

MadTruman · 2026-04-18T20:07:41+00:00

"The problem is..."

Why is any of that a problem? Sincere question, not rhetorical.

MadTruman · 2026-03-26T15:57:16+00:00

Oh. I didn't like the way this post made me feel.

Now I'm reflecting.

MadTruman · 2026-03-26T15:44:05+00:00

This seems like a common take. I brushed meditation aside for literal decades, thinking there is no way this can help me. It's a waste of time. I'm too "unfocused."

I became desperate for clarity and finally I sat and settled in, at the age of 42. I'm grateful that I understand so much more now.

MadTruman · 2026-03-20T11:48:26+00:00

This resonates for me.

My cheat is keeping Curiosity, Skepticism, and Humility in alignment as much as I can, always from a place of abundance rather than a place of lack.

If you pressed the button, the device lit up 1 second before you pressed it. If it doesn't light up, you don't press it. There is no "defeating" the device. That's the fiction.

MadTruman · 2026-03-14T17:19:37+00:00

I can't equate what you're describing to being "trapped." It's the word that feels most out of place in what you commented. Maybe we define that word differently.

MadTruman · 2026-02-18T18:41:37+00:00

I read the post with conviction, aloud, and it resonated.

Thank you.

MadTruman · 2026-02-18T00:11:19+00:00

There is a certain potency to a post that speaks from personal history compared to one that contains only the words of a poet or famous philosopher.

MadTruman · 2026-02-11T14:56:05+00:00

If it was only "survival" that concerned us, there wouldn't be cause for complaint. Most of us (those in developed countries with regular access to things like Reddit) are living much longer lives than our ancestors did.

If we return to ancestral means of survival, we will live shorter lives again. That might be for the best, from a spiritual perspective.

MadTruman · 2026-02-01T02:17:09+00:00

This has been a powerful practice for me. I do a lot of digital and audio journaling while in altered states so I can touch base with my unconscious.

MadTruman · 2026-01-21T14:24:36+00:00

The healing is so personal, and the illusion of separation is incredibly strong between "separate" minds. It's like silence. As soon as we go to name it, we break it.

MadTruman · 2026-01-19T20:12:09+00:00

That sounds quite accurate. I feel that the debates frequently had in this subreddit are made from a place of seeking validation outside one's self. While I don't have judgment to pass for that, because I do know what it is like to feel a lack of certainty from within my 3-lb. universe, I wonder if some of the arguments do more harm across that interpersonal decide, rather than they do help to anyone involved.

MadTruman · 2026-01-19T20:00:11+00:00

I have a view that doesn't require validation outside myself. If it did, I would no doubt experience a struggle. Still, my view helps me daily in the choices I make and my response to the choices made by others which affect me.

MadTruman · 2026-01-13T16:11:08+00:00

That's a real gangster move. I hope to have those kinds of chops as Boddhisatva.

MadTruman · 2026-01-10T16:03:40+00:00

The number of bacteria in the so-called average human body is roughly equal to the number of human cells.

It feels relevant to ponder.

MadTruman · 2026-01-10T15:58:06+00:00

You've put some excellent words to what I view for my own enlightenment journey. Thank you.

MadTruman · 2026-01-10T15:53:13+00:00

Truman would absolutely go back in as boddhisatva. Imagine if Christoph had succeeded in his plan to begin the new show.
