The plants I mentioned are ground cover, and it looked like you have vinca growing adjacent to your ginseng?
Here’s vinca and japanese pachysandra aka japanese spurge. You see these together often near rivers in SE Pennsylvania

I zoomed and now see the 5 leaf pattern on the older leaves. Virginia creeper look-alike for sure. I think that’s the real name for it…

Very cool! Looking at the leaves, could almost mistake it for poison ivy lol. My lot looks similar to yours, quite a bit of vinca minor and pachysandra.

I’ll chime in coming from a Roman Catholic background and a decade of Tibetan Buddhism.
I like Nunya’s pointer towards trust. Having a relationship with God is akin to trusting that the universe is always as it should be and providing feedback. You are saying yes to what is, like improv’ing with God, with your life, and your relationships. You have trust or faith in the groundlessness of the human experience.
As for Jesus, his message at a high level is to be a good person and the utility of ‘knowing’ him is to bridge the gap between human form, human experience, and God. If creating an imaginary friend helps someone relate or understand his teachings, then do it. By no means is it mandatory imo.

Similar to Fountain in that only career / professional content would be seen by the user? Nerf versions may be necessary to onboard…

I posted about a LinkedIn style client. Similar to Fountain in that it could only show posts related to careers / professional content. They already understand the social graph / web of trust concept. We need normie clone clients to onboard I think

2024-09-03 15:22:07

With all of this talk about social graphs and webs of trust, LinkedIn comes to mind with their degrees of separation metric. Does a nostr version of LinkedIn spark a wave a new users? That audience slready knows the power of having a social graph. Now apply it to EVERYTHING else in life…. Hmmm

Emptiness is one of more (if not the most) difficult concept to grasp, at least as a westerner. Groundlessness has been used by some teachers as a stop gap.
Tong len meditation is another difficult one… ♥️

Hitting me this year as well. My immediate family all get the bitcoin part. Them and my other close relationships viscerally do not want to discuss what I would describe as reality. It seems too painful (and too risky from their social standpoint) of a gap to bridge. And too much work to both digest the information and reorient their life accordingly.

I worry about conflation on 'kinds' of meditation. Spiritual materialism runs amuck in the western world.
There are ancient methods adapted to suit our language and conditioning, and there are watered down gimicky substitutes. You seem like someone who would appreciate the former.

Started with Zen training, now Tibetan (Mahayana).
Shamatha Viphashana (mindfulness-awareness) is the technical varient.
My teachers (US) were taught by Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche who was inspired to form the Shambala path, secular teachings tailored specifically for the western mindset.
Pema Chödrön is probably the most recognized active author/teacher from this lineage.

Forgot about Tool. A bit different different since that is an explicit rule. No audio recordings either.
The Phish thing happened naturally and no one talks about it. Also different that, before the internet, they encouraged and sold 'taper' tickets so fans could trade shows (the Grateful Dead did this too I think?)
It's pretty common sense to respect others in the audience and not hold up a distracting bright screen. Shit, fans hardly talk when music is playing and very little sing along behavior.
LSD probably contributes lol

Phish (and some other hippie bands) have the only fanbases I've seen that have an unspoken 'no phone' rule.

As an engineer, not building in redundancy or ‘fail-safe’ mechanisms is simply poor engineering. Things need to work first, then add your bells and whistles as optional

I can’t imagine what my state of mind would be if Bitcoin didn’t exist.
Even such, I need to keep fiat in the legacy banking system to live, and pay bills (without complicating my tax situation).
Observing fractional reserve banking failure makes me feel like none of that fiat is safe.
