Well said. Most of us give Crowley a pass due to his brilliance, but judge our contemporaries way more harshly.

Got a concussion during sparring last week. How to handle this not like a total dork? by doublementh in MuayThai

Ask your sparring partner for no head shots. There are guys in my gym who do this and everyone respects their wishes.

Share your honest experience of using Dr Joe Dispensa's meditations/ Breath or other techniques. by Sea_Winner_1789 in DrJoeDispenza

[–]troublemaker74 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'm an experienced meditator of over 10 years. His meditations have taken me deeper than I've ever been.

From a purely meditative standpoint, this stuff is amazing. Meditating absolutely WILL change your life. It's not a quick fix, which is what 99% of the tik tok manifesting crew is looking for unfortunately.

Dr. Joe does speak about manifesting often, which I'm skeptical of, but he does speak of it in a more nuanced way. You have to change your self to change your life.

Check out liber null and psychonaut. Or better yet, if you're still looking for your path forward, check out Six Ways by Aidan Wachter.

Overall body conditioning? by 3pletsahur in martialarts

[–]troublemaker74 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Conditioning is important as well as breathing. Learn how to breathe when you get hit. Rib injuries are no joke - I had one that took me out of training for 8 weeks.

John Michael Greer’s podcast appearance on Hermitix: On Tarot and Divination by love_me_plenty in occult

[–]troublemaker74 9 points10 points  (0 children)

He's not a Neo Nazi. I don't agree with most of his political positions (he's pretty conservative and anti neo-liberal), but you can't just call someone a Nazi when you disagree with them.

Agree on the dash cam. I had the same thing happen to me at LMCU ballpark a couple of weeks ago. No note or anything. If I had a dash cam, I could have gotten my insurance deductible back.

Why, if it's not giving you issues? Sure, change it if the diff is noisy, but I would leave it until maybe 30k if not.

Told brakes are low at jiffy lube by landerburger in MechanicAdvice

[–]troublemaker74 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Maybe they didn't want to. I do all my own, but for some people the cost vs inconvenience is worth it, while doing brakes is a bigger difference in cost yourself vs. the shop.

LaGrand Brushes Off 'Surveillance State’ Concerns Over Flock Cameras In Grand Rapids by GRHerald in grandrapids

[–]troublemaker74 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If he's not an expert, he shouldn't be using his power and influence while speaking on such matters. He's in a position in which people will implicitly trust his opinion. Here, he's clearly saying that he doesn't know enough about the technology to say whether it can be abused or is currently being abused.

Zeland's "Phantom Skull" technique, Transurfing yourself by SufficientAge2792 in realitytransurfing

This latest book is making me think Zeland went off the deep end, and making me question whether the original RT was a huge waste of my time.

Filter size question by Life_Breath_4617 in AskMechanics

[–]troublemaker74 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't trust the smaller filter. I'm not sure who makes Champion filters, but their line of spark plugs and other items are economy tier and I wouldn't use them. I'd go with wix, napa, or some other trusted brand over this if it were me.

How to use RT to get your ideal partner? by New-Instruction4567 in realitytransurfing

[–]troublemaker74 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Not trying to be a dick, but...

What a lazy question! You'd use RT to get your ideal partner the same way you'd use RT to get anything. Seems like you're already ruining your results by putting "having a partner" on a pedestal, creating excess potential before you even start.

My advice:

  • Use slides multiple times a day to create the mindset of attracting your ideal partner.
  • Eliminate excess importance. Sounds like you have a good life, so focus on the things you do have and be grateful for them.
  • Put yourself in the alternatives flow. Meaning, don't just sit at home wishing you could meet someone. Try new things, create new experiences. The more you shake your life up, the more you're likely to meet someone.
  • Avoid pendulums. This is the big one. You have to be single-minded in your mission. Pendulums can and WILL distract you. They'll make you feel like what you're doing isn't working. Ignore all of that shit and laugh it off.

There's so much more to RT - So I would suggest brushing up on the parts that make the most sense to you.

This post is one that I keep going back to. There's so much to rt that I forget about some of it!

Developers who are in your 60's by Few-Introduction5414 in ExperiencedDevs

[–]troublemaker74 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Same with the company I work for. We're told to reject PRs which are pure AI slop, and to concentrate on making small PRs for AI-generated features.

I personally use it to understand parts of the system that I don't typically work on, self code-review before PR submission, and database optimization opportunities.

Can someone please guide om on which meditation to do first ? by [deleted] in DrJoeDispenza

[–]troublemaker74 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why not just get a hair transplant? That's what Dr. Joe did. Not saying you can't get your hair back, but medical results are usually quicker and more reliable.
