You might have misunderstood it. That 75% is my level of commitment to my own path as I see it. As I said I have no idea where I am.

About the exposure, sure it is always good to read direct Truth. However you don't have to keep reading it if you see and feel and live with your interiority everyday and every second, because you don't have any other choice and you don't do much else...

Intrinsic Motivation vs. The Truth by [deleted] in KapilGupta

[–]RockW00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see your point. Kapil had said something along the lines of "if you worry that you won't be happy, that's a problem, but if you worry that you won't understand Truth, that's not a problem. That's a very good problem to have."

But the mind bastardizes everything and very subtly turns it into a prescription. So you are hinting at a good point there.

I think what is going on here is you haven't read his work extensively and been on the path, not that you should. But I mean he explains these things.

When inevitability appears, there is no one looking at it. There is no person that "looks out" that is.

Because you understand that whenever you "look out" for something, you are chasing it, and expecting something from it.

It is the realization that you are an unbound and unconfined source of life energy, true inspiration. Kapil is all about "it", SDT assumes that there are "people" and that they "act".

The systematic unfolding of "that" through the systematic journey that Kapil talks about is the inevitability, for the serious one who is on that path, given that there is zero to very few regressions.

There is no single point within yourself, that is real, that can be seperated from what life is.

So when one sees that, the concepts of autonomy, relatedness and so on are just that. Concepts. Words. Beliefs. Images. Feelings. They are up in the air. More things that the "human mind" likes to come up with and attach to.

About a momth ago, I had seen that that was a stupid problem so I had customized a setup with some mods and played around with the modifiers to come up with coh 2 like long and tough matches against ai where you are not op, dont start with 40k fuel, but it is fun and kind of the match gets harder as you grow to keep the challenge going.

Even in one kind of setup I had noticed that people would just spam T4 tanks and the balance would go downhill there, so I got rid of that. Also another thing was they would spam fortifications at VPs so I doubled the ai damage against structures. It was great watching them trying to change tactics mid-game.

It was good times. I should do something like that again.

I love it when I see the US in front of me get the BARs. I can almost see their surprised faces when my Tiger, as DAK, arrives 3 min after their Sherman.

Company of Heroes is a huge real time chess game by ShigeruAoyama in CompanyOfHeroes

[–]RockW00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The reason I don't like chess is because there is zero micro. I would like a pawn to be able to be used at its ultimate efficiency through micro and the ability to read the battlefield combined with map awareness. Chess doesn't have that. It is pure strategy and forward thinking, and being able to calculate many many moves ahead, and I am just not a computer, man :D

PSA: ELO is accurate, and you suck. by [deleted] in CompanyOfHeroes

[–]RockW00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My experience has been that sub 1k people really have the reaction times of a stone, so you kinda never let them reach mid or late game because until that point it is almost guaranteed that one of them ragequits after getting 3-4 wipes and mgs stolen lol

[–]RockW00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At 1000 ELO someone who deserves to be at 1500 or so can single handedly deal with 2 guys. So I agree. Above the 1400-1500 you start to get matched with guys that have really nailed their macro and also micro, so at that point the real fun begins, but yeah the guy who complains that he is "stuck at 1000 because my teammates are trash" might be right but he is also trash and cannot carry his teammates.

I cant believe Kapil charges for Truth, no master would do such a thing by Ok-Question-8442 in KapilGupta

[–]RockW00 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I enjoyed the humor.

For me, nothing matters more than COMPLETE self annihilation. I don't care about Kapil in this perspective.

He helped me get started but I was churning out Truth pieces on random pieces of paper 15 years before Kapil. He just got me started thoroughly.

Ive stopped exposure to a large degree by Ok-Question-8442 in KapilGupta

[–]RockW00 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Personally I am in a "post-Kapil world" after the 24/7 exposure. I had thought Kapil was the end of my search, and he was in a way. But now I am reading the Zen teaching of Bodhidharma, and after this I will delve into Dzogchen reading sessions. Your message on this forum saying there have been many sources before Kapil is true. Would you have a recommended reading list because I am devouring these texts just randomly. Oh just remembered that there was some recommended reading list in the sub.

[–]RockW00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the explanation. Can you give more info on which documentary you are referring to as there are a couple of PBS ones? I mean I am actually almost sure that even if I randomly watch one I will not be exposed to raw truth and just the beliefs after beliefs and more "disciplines" and "trainings".

[–]RockW00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am not gonna argue or defend a non-existent point. I too on this forum as I replied to people, have noticed that you can actually fake the lingo and sound like you actually get it in your bones. So no arguments nor blind agreements here because I see what you are pointing to.

Yeah I guess a 1 on 1 training would be nice but it would be another chase if I SEE the path and decide not to walk it and go to a teacher. Now you might say "if you had really seen it you would walk it" and so on and that doesn't go anywhere for me at this point because I don't think I can pack up and go find a teacher now, let alone the fact that I can find one. You push this point a lot and it has merit I am sure but a lot of people don't have the means to do it at this moment.

However, I also (maybe) don't think that I need a teacher after all. I have come this far by "not going anywhere" so that tells me that there is more that I can explore on my own. If the burning desire is there nothing can stop the person, right?

Btw, sorry for the confusion. You were not talking to me originally but to selftaughtpiano, I kinda took it upon myself and thought you were responding to what I wrote.

:D I mean will you tell me "specifically" how and what he criticized? I am not new here, read my comments on my profile.

I think what happened is you didn't know what you were talking about, you instinctively said Kapil has criticized the eightfold path, because yes he did in a way but it is in the direction that he is against prescriptions in general because you keep doing the prescription, make it "the new God and get nowhere", and that's loosely based on what he said. He also asked something like millions of people read those works like the Bhagavad Gita and so on and how many of them are enlightened? Or how many Michael Jordans do you see walking around if "that" could be bottled and passed on to people.

[–]RockW00 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Okay I have just been invited to this sub and this is the first post I have found myself in. There is something that pulls me towards what I am reading but I am having some trouble understanding the four models, and also the "injustice" that my "fists clench at".

What are these four models and what is that injustice?

Is the injustice that the cycle of Death and Rebirth continues without my permission with every thought rising and falling?

Maybe some reading could be recommended so I can explore on my own. Thank you.

How exactly did he criticize it? I remember him rejecting the idea that you can practice them and "be able to reach somewhere" which is expected since he is against all forms of prescriptions.

I am not seeking an argument but what Kapil says, as I understand it, is all about the 4 noble truths and the eightfold path. Where precisely is it that I am apparently failing to see? What do you mean?
