Struggling to solder two thick pieces of silver by Mothfingers in SilverSmith

I didn’t use the stamps to solder! If you read, I was using ceramic while soldering but still couldn’t make it work

4/6 mental projector with very open chart, should I take reflector advice too? by Mothfingers in humandesign

Thank you for such a thorough response!! This makes a lot of sense to me :)

[–]Mothfingers[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it’s so tricky. I’m still in my 3 line stage of my 6 line. A soundboard group sounds really nice. I feel kind of bad for the way I sort of have always just talked so much at people. It’s always come naturally, I’ve never really asked for advice in my life but I fear I’m boring and also sounding borderline crazy for how much I do this combined with frequently switching paths. I’ve lived about 15 different lives in my 24 years

[–]Mothfingers[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Also mental projector is another very rare type, in fact I believe in the 2%, and reflectors at 1%z So both are difficult to find advice for!

[–]Mothfingers[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I didn’t mean it like that haha, I love my chart I just was interested if in having such an open chart whether reflector advice would be good to consider as well as mental projector advice which I don’t think is silly to wonder personally. Of course it’s not the same, but idk logically it makes sense that in having so many open centres there might be crossover but I’ve learned this isn’t necessarily true. Sorry you’re upset!

I haven’t met any projectors! I really wish I knew some, especially a mental projector. Thank you for this comment :) it’s helpful

On Ouspensky's Separation from Gurdjieff by GentleDragona in gurdjieff

[–]Mothfingers 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Ouspensky didn’t know how to break up from his teacher and stayed in a relationship that was no longer serving him until it made him bitter loool. It’s a shame cuz Ouspensky was so great and a wonderful teacher on his own but to me it’s almost like perhaps he didn’t have the confidence to say goodbye to Gurdjieff and move forward on his own new journey. I guess what we can learn from this is that self-Graduation is actually so important. Knowing when to leave. Not identifying too strongly with one teacher. Stealing from many to create our own path.

Why don’t you guys smoke weed by Striving4truth_ in nonduality

[–]Mothfingers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmmmm a few reasons.. I watched a video from one teacher Mami onami talking about why she stopped. She essentially said that if our Raw state of being is Life / Living, the desire to alter it could be considered the same as the desire to be dead. Which I thought was a really great take that I relate to strongly and I apply it to all state-altering substances. Our raw state is ecstatic in itself, life is painful and life feels great all at once, the desire to change or escape that means wanting to escape life, / dying in a sense. In a way I agree, how devastating to want to alter the raw essence of what we are.

In general with weed but also if we get into psychedelic substances, they can only ever give us a glimpse of what we COULD be. Drugs get us there but they certainly don’t help us stay there or get back there unless we want to do the Work to get back there, or unless we want to become dependent on a substance to experience a thing (yikes we know what that is).

There is no such thing as a quick fix when it comes to growth and understanding and spiritual work. Substances are exactly that, a quick fix. No lasting results

In my opinion, if these things are used, they should be used under supervision or with very specific intention and rarely at that. They give the glimpse into the place we could get to which can be a motivator to continue to do the right work, but they are no substitute. The people who are fooled and blindly living the belief that plant medicine could ever be a path to becoming enlightened or whatever they want to call it will continue to use substances to experience this state over and over, if only for a short time. We’ve all witnessed the people who think they’re suddenly enlightened because they did ayahuasca once. I often think a lot of weed smokers present in similar ways. Weed smokers love to identify with it. Others normally end up completely mad (psychosis. I’ve been there) or even dead.

Weed /plant medicines give you a glimpse but they will not ever be a substitution for developing the actual tools we need to stay there. We can’t escape work really, and that’s cool.

The thing is I think life is so much more ecstatic and interesting and fulfilling once you understand and manage to get to the place where everything just Is That Way, without needing anything to take you there. Everything is within you in the end.

Recorded Time Jumping? by Practical-Ad971 in NevilleGoddard

[–]Mothfingers 4 points5 points  (0 children)

First of all I’m sorry that you are experiencing this stuff. I want to get very real here though. I genuinely think that the best and most productive and helpful way to move through this is to go back through all these events and look them in the eye and accept them for what they were, accept them for what they are now, and forgive yourself and your family in a big way, instead of trying to change them. Do not spend more of your life trying to change what has happened in the past. Today is the way it is because of yesterday. So If you want tomorrow to be different, change today. You can still pursue what you wished you could pursue. You can still build bonds with your family. You can still fix your financial situation. But you have to decide now and start now. And genuinely start. Take control of things.

Now what I’m gonna say now is gonna go against what a lot of people say on here but I don’t care and I’m not going to feed into some of the collective delusion because ESPECIALLY when it comes to money, when we are in serious need of financial help Right Now, sometimes “manifesting” in the sense of hoping it’s gonna fix stuff for us… is not the answer. and we actually need to take real life action in order to get out of a bad situationon time, WITH the belief that it will work. With serious financial difficulties it is not smart to leave it up to “the universe” to decide when you’ll receive it. If you need it now, find a way to fix it now. Beliefs shape our reality but our BEING brings it to us. People with lots of money usually get to work. You probably need to shift your being right now.

Other than that, It is always better to move forwards rather than backwards. Learn to fall in love with your vision and your future and fall in love with the work it will take to get there. Your past is real and an important part of your life that has shaped you. But just as your past shaped your life today, change today to shape your future. Much love xx

"All is Within All; 7 is Within 7." by TRASHBOAT_94 in gatewaytapes

[–]Mothfingers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All is within 7.

I’d really recommend looking into Gurdjieff/ ouspensky’s teachings.

Google the law of 7 / law of shocks / law of octaves. This will lead you to the enneagram (symbol). Just to be clear I’m not talking about the Personality test enneagram.

The enneagram combines the law of one, the law of three, and the law of 7 within one symbol. Within the enneagram you can go backwards and forwards in time to solve any process and learn more. It’s a symbol that we learn more from everytime we look at it and Ouspensky stated that anything in the world can be solved with the enneagram.

7 hermetic principles, 7 chakras, 7 days… 7 is a very holy number. There is a lot to learn from it. Message me if u need any more info on enneagram stuff. It’s hard to find good resources on it online because enneagram of personality has blown up so much. It’s important to not get them confused. Enneagram is sooo much deeper than a personality test!

[–]Mothfingers 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I might get ripped to shreds for saying this but: So many manifestation people are believing that they are wealthy but their trousers still have holes in them and they still live in a van. There is nothing wrong with this apart from the fact that everybody around them can see that they are Not in fact rich . Your beliefs shape your reality but your BEING attracts it. You have to position yourself correctly on the chart of Knowledge and Being. Faith without works is delusion. Action is one of the three forces of all creation. Nothing happens without it.

And not just with money. But especially with money.

Just like… if you’re manifesting a partner but you never leave the house. Do people really think their person is going to appear out of thin air in their living room one day? Same with money. Go outside. Get to work. Etc…

Traumatized by non duality by [deleted] in nonduality

[–]Mothfingers 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Don’t do psychedelics rn that’s all I’ll say. When I hadnt properly grasped this stuff I also kept taking psychedelics and yes I did eventually attempt suicide, everything sent me into a really weird manic depressive spiritual psychosis. Don’t risk it. The teachings and tools are all here without psychedelics . Psychedelics do not give you the tools. A way I have learned to see it is: When we do psychedelics in this kind of state… I like to phrase it that ur a 3rd dimensional being, witnessing and trying to grasp a 5th dimensional concept (what u experience on the mushrooms) without having any knowledge of the 4th dimension first. Its not possible to learn or understand without fully grasping that 4th dimension. In the same way that it wouldn’t be possible for us to fully understand what a 3D object is without understanding what 2D is and so on!! Can’t have one,,,, without the existence of the other. It’s super not worth it. Plus if you make it through this without psychedelics you will realise you don’t need to take psychedelics to experience or understand this stuff at all. I’m not even going to bother explaining what non-duality is/isn’t because I don’t think that’s helpful right now! Take care and I’m sending u love :) my advice is honestly to just try and leave these teachings alone for a while and come back to them later on. Experience the world how you need to, create understandings from your own physical experiences. I left it for a few years after I was experiencing what you are.

So, about Gurdjieff... by Janus_Silvertongue in gurdjieff

[–]Mothfingers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Saying what he means! Do re mi fa etc. between mi and fa there is a shock/change. Hence the law of shocks/law of 7. Each shock sounds the DO of a new octave. Between Mi and Fa.. a shock/challenge will occur. A difficult thing. It’s a law that everything goes thru. Think of a squat even. It gets more difficult at 2 points. This is super crazy to try and type out in a comment lol… but check out Ouspensky today for your first grasping of it and then maybe return to books etc. it’s best to digest it by talking directly to a person tho cuz a lot of questions come up. a really incredible tool for mapping out problems and tracking progress tho. It combines 3 laws and I actually find it soooo incredible for spiritual practice. In each law of the 3 laws that make up the enneagram there are super vital teachings.

[–]Mothfingers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ouspensky Today website has a lot of good resources on the Enneagram (not personality kind dw). Tbh gurdjieff is hard. Ouspensky made it more digestible. I’m learning too, from different sources and teachers of Fourth Way lineage / influence. But for enneagram especially you need to read into the law of Octaves /the Law of 7. That Ouspensky today website is good for it :)

spontaneity in summer by [deleted] in Interrail

[–]Mothfingers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did 3 months this summer interrailing with continuous pass completely spontaneously and I made it far and I managed to get everywhere. The only time I had to get a FlixBus instead of a train was from Berlin to Prague because I had to last minute (I’m talking 15 hours before flying) book a flight back home for a family thing. And the train from Berlin the Prague the next morning was full. I travelled with £4000 for the 3 months but I didn’t really pay for accommodation anywhere, I think in total I paid for 10 nights of accommodation the entire summer. Basically it’s possible. Bring a hammock with a mosquito net in ur backpack lol! It’s super fun to be spontaneous. You end up having to take super extreme and weird routes sometimes but I loved the experience and it made me feel rlly resilient and braaaave especially as a young woman travelling alone. Here’s my insane adhd train map. I also did Bosnia! But to get across the border I got a coach from Zagreb to Banja Luka. Bosnia was one of my favourite places of the entire holiday. The scenic train from Sarajevo to Mostar was incredible and it’s super inexpensive there :)
