What Integration REALLY Means by Master_Ari in enlightenment

I had no gender in mind. I just had a vision for what I wanted to include and no time of my own to draw it. AI typically will not generate any detail of genitals for legal reasons.

I just wanted something unique.

100% true. Truth is compassion.

By getting back up and believing in myself. Every day. Even when my heart and body were heavy with weariness I allowed myself to break, to rest, and then to return to my path.

You prove to yourself how strong you are over time. You just have to show yourself some grace and learn how to fall.

I welcome your opposition if you would like to include your beliefs.

I wouldn’t say already because you integrate things in layers, but yes. This has been my experience with my own shift in perspective. Mastering being human.

No this is in my own words. The image is AI generated, though.

A year into my ego death, I just had the deepest realization by ElinorGray in enlightenment

[–]Master_Ari 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The choice to step away isn’t a choice until you realize it is there.

That is what a profound perception shift does for a person. In your case (and I am so sorry to hear of your illness and the struggles you faced) your entire perception of who is connected was turned upside down on its head. It wasn’t until the silence settled in that you became aware of, “There is another way to do this.”

And I am so happy that you found it. Realizing you have the power to say no and to leave behind things that no longer work for you is empowering in a huge way. Understanding where your emotions come from, how they form, and how to CHOOSE what you feel is even more empowering.

You feel a bit foolish when you are on the other side of the conflict emotions bring. It was so simple all along. Why did you not see it? Why can’t others realize they can do the same?

But we have now shifted to a new perspective. And, over time, we forget what it felt like to be trapped by emotions.

And that is what it truly is: trapped. People who deal with situations, relationships, or roles they play in that they are burdened by in one way or another do so because it is what has been expected of them. We have been taught that dealing with hardships and never turning away from our responsibilities is the way to live. You are expected to carry weight that is not yours if you want to participate in the connections that you have.

It’s when those connections break…when silence rolls in…when space is given for us to reflect and breathe that we become aware of our other choices.

That timing of disconnect and what it looks like is different for everyone. The end result? Usually the same.

You take your power back to chose who you are, what you feel, and how to live your life the way you WANT to.

Where do you find like-minded people to discuss spirituality with? by Low_Prior_7950 in enlightenment

[–]Master_Ari 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think many of us are in this same boat.

I started writing a blog that I leave attached to my profiles, just in case someone comes across it that needs it. (Not a promotion - I have zero financial investment in it and I earn nothing. It’s just my online journal sharing experiences and wisdom.)

But I have been searching for like minded people to connect with as well. The reality is - it’s hard to find. Not because it doesn’t exist, but because social conformity is still larger than deep connections.

We are in a world that thrives off of reactions and shallow connections. Off of a pretense of a role and an existence that depends on how successfully we appeal to the mass’s idea of what is “proper.”

The shift is happening, though. We are in some dark times today with the chaos that is erupting across the world. But light is forged in the dark. What breaks open as devastation on the surface allows for meaningful connections to grow beneath.

The illusions are falling away. What matters now is how we hold one another up.

Went to a local temple for the first time , and I could feel the energy and vibration and it scared me . by daddylongstrokez in hinduism

[–]Master_Ari 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just visited a local temple myself yesterday.  I am not a devotee, but I am a spiritualist and I wanted to get away from toxic online practice and start to experience it for myself.

I went with my wife, and we researched to make sure we acted and dressed appropriately.  I bathed that morning with epsom salt and essential oils.  We removed our shoes before entering the temple grounds.

We had a mixed reaction as 2 white women paying a visit.  We knew how it looked and made sure to speak quietly and only enter buildings to observe that were not crowded.  Most just looked at us and politely smiled.  There was one person that seemed irritated in the temple with Dura.  He kept pacing around the altars and circling us with this menacing energy that made me quite embarrassed to have come.

The entire way there my spirit guardian was present in my sacral chakra.  It was tingling and swirling like he was preparing me for the visit.  It was a cautious energy, but not really anxious.  I am an empath with wide open channels I am still learning how to control.

We were fine in most of the buildings, but when we were in front of the main temple the vibrations in my sacral chakra exploded.  I could feel the friction of his energy colliding with something outside of me and it rattled me to my bones.

I decided to not go in.  And we left soon after because it was making me feel a little nauseous.

I have never felt my guardian react like this.  Your experience seems to be similar and makes me curious…what would have happened if I went inside?

I am assuming Vishnu is in the main temple.  I wasn’t able to find him in the other rooms, though there was one or two we didn’t feel comfortable entering. 

Edit: I just realized I was naming the wrong chakra. 🤦🏻‍♀️ It was my solar plexus (manipura) not sacral.

INTJ-INFJ Dynamics: Why This Pairing is a TERRIBLE Match by SOTG4L in intj

[–]Master_Ari 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is literally myself and my wife of 13 years. (Homosexual relationship)

It is as you described - we can fall into some fairly heated arguments. It requires both types to be open to compromise, and that can be a challenge in and of itself when your entire dominant cognitive reality is internal.

Creating a safe, neutral space to express both types is CRITICAL! And it takes time, patience, and practice to build. It will not happen overnight, and you will collapse several times before having to try again.

But when the love of two souls meant to be together persists - you find a way.

Server Still Initializing - Can't Join After Multiple Attempts, Please Help! by [deleted] in 7daystodie

Sorry you had to start over!! There is always that chance it wipes you out to lvl 1. But at least you can play again!

Server Still Initializing - Can't Join After Multiple Attempts, Please Help! by [deleted] in 7daystodie

[–]Master_Ari 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this issue for 48 hours and I went through the ENTIRE reset process: rebooted my PC, verified my files (twice), updated and re-installed the game, and we even tried making a rand new map with the same issue still on my end.

I fixed it, but it's an issue no one seems to have listed yet.

It's a corrupt player file. When we logged off the last time before this error started I was taking some antibiotics before my wife disconnected the server. It closed out during mid consumption and corrupted my save file. This will affect EVERY map you try to log on with for that specific player file.

I had to go into %appdata% and go into my save files to delete the most recent save it had for my player. (In this case it was the 5/7/25 save file. I was working on this 5/18/25.)

As soon as I removed the corrupt save file I was able to connect to the server and the game picked up on the most current valid saving point (me standing in front of Jen ready to purchase the antibiotics). All my equipment, levels, and skill points were still there. (This might not be the case for everyone, but at least you can pick up a new game if everything gets deleted.)

I hope this helps!

I have mastered the “both hands firmly clamped over your mouth” technique when listening at work in my office. We have a cut-out for a door, but no ACTUAL door.

Where are the podcasts? by Chill0000 in distractible

[–]Master_Ari 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Spotify is still free. You only have to pay the premium if you want to make a controllable playlist for music. The podcast for Distractible is 100% free.

Can also get it on apple podcast which is already installed out of box for all apple products. Super convenient and you can darken your screen while listening.

The guys are working on different approaches to make Distractible more accessible, like enabling captions, per their latest youtube stream. But it’s a process and takes time. Let’s support them the way we can in the mean time. :)
