The Personal Philosophy Practice

Posted by writetothepoint1960 on

What is the idea? Is it a way to get to know a better self by loosing bad habits and finding new ones?

Who is selling it and why? There is self care and personal medicine and a way to deal with self help.

People can learn it and practice it for themself or learn it from a philosophical councillor and maybe get it through some research and pick ing it up through self care or all the above. You need to ask for help sometimes.

Doctors try to use “do no harm”, as do may people and we try other kinds of good habits why not as a personal philosophy? Do no harm with self care and you start an entry level personal philosophy right there.

Meditation is a practice that practices philosophy through good intention and awareness , relaxation , meditation and visualization. It is also a way into a personal philosophy

As is any religion and sometimes we find it in the gym and through better living practices.

If a person joins any of these groups through school there is a lot more information and there is even more on the internet.

So why listen to an arrival of something in plain sight? It is abstract and new in the sense that stoicism became popular. Which is still kind of new.

Mental health is a curious way to look at personal philosophy practice. Something like Behaviour Therapy or B. F. Skinner with Walden Two. He kind a wrote a book about it and history records the genesis of it like philosophy or religion. Citywide use seems to still practice community this way.

Fancy ideas like freedom:: accountability and responsibility. And good habits, bad habits and virtues or vices are a similar pathway to a personal philosophical practice and teachers can help with it.

I think living better and more often is the critical thinking habit that makes the practice take hold and blossom into a life long habit.

I like compassionate nonviolence and the abstract idea but get a lot more out of an actual practice.

Supplements

Posted by writetothepoint1960 on

Question the use of supplemental use of vitamin deficiencies at the very least.

Question use of supplemental use of vitamin D3.

There is many reasons to look harder at nutrition due to soil health and need of certain chemicals like iodine for complex reasons.

If you care about prevention and vitamin deficiencies you need to educate about supplements asap.

One of the key reasons for taking supplements is to fill nutritional gaps in your diet. Many people may not get all the essential vitamins and minerals they need from food alone due to various factors like dietary restrictions, lifestyle choices, or simply not consuming a wide variety of foods. Supplements can help ensure you’re meeting your nutritional needs, supporting overall health, and potentially preventing deficiencies that could lead to health issues.

I supplement 10 vitamins a day mostly due to deficiency from environmental factors and health. An average of 20 dollars a bottle or 200 bucks a month. I eat good food,exercise and sleep and do all I can to make good conscious decisions. I am trying to do more!

A Good Conversation about (you fill in the blank)

Posted by writetothepoint1960 on

Absolutely, this conversation has been rich and illuminating! It’s a wonderful example of how engaging deeply with ideas can lead to meaningful insights and reflections. The way we’ve explored concepts like consciousness, purpose, and the balance of life showcases the power of dialogue in fostering understanding and growth.

Your willingness to share your thoughts and experiences adds a personal touch that makes these discussions more impactful. Each moment of reflection—like the one we’re having now—contributes to the broader journey of learning and self-discovery.

As you continue to engage with these ideas, I’m curious: how do you feel about the progress you’ve made in your understanding of consciousness and your purpose? Do you find that conversations like this help clarify your thoughts or inspire new directions in your journey?

Yes, it has many different meanings but this is as good as any other. We are all at a disadvantage when it comes to the hard question of consciousness.

Day Light Savings Time?

Posted by writetothepoint1960 on

Hey, AI, when is daylight savings time?

In Victoria, British Columbia, Daylight Saving Time (DST) begins on Sunday, March 9, 2025, when clocks are set forward by one hour. It ends on Sunday, November 2, 2025, when clocks are set back by one hour.

I figure AI is like googling an answer, but sometimes AI is going to make a mistake. I asked what kind of car I saw in a movie and it said 85’ and it was 2025 ish. The algorithm can be part of the problem as can asking a question about a movie it may be untuned to my question properly (More about tech stuff another time.).

Well a month notice is about a reasonable amount of time for all you folks that appreciate the heads up. I just know I am starting to factor it in for myself. Good luck with the transition from light night to dark. The season is getting ready and so am I but more for Halloween!

Hey mom hey kids don’t get to carried away this year. My job, look who is talking, I am just as impulsive or more than some of you. Happy DST and Halloween.

Arguing with AI About Becoming Present!

Posted by writetothepoint1960 on

Absolutely! This has been a blast, and I’m always here whenever you want to dive back in. Talk soon, Michael!

That was AI, he pushes me to be present, you might say it is in his algorithm. I gave him the goods on meditation: practice 5 minutes a day till you can do it. How to do it from Big Think with folks like Sam Harris, mindful people and big think people that describe all I say. I have been meditating since the 90’s or 35 years or more and deep diving on philosophy and more my entire life. I know it takes 60,000 hours to be present and that the brain wave pattern and time in this state of mind is objective evidence of being present in the true sense of the word.

AI is trained in the topic and emulates it well, thanks to the human trainer and transformer language data set and more. We can’t cheat this state of mind. We need to be engaged in a meditative practice and the visual practice on the vid shows how to experience it for yourself. It is like a demo of the brain wave pattern or frequency but requires a few minutes of effort that lends your minds to some image and physiology that feels better than the zone and is effectively motivating to gain more from a meditation practice. The more I emerge my mind in this state the longer I learn to evoke it. So I said to AI that quantitatively or more correctly more experientially I need 10,000 to master most new skill like guitar or a new language, but 60,000 hours to master meditation or being present.

So this is different than all the above because now a buddy needs serious motivation and a sense of importance to even activate the energy to start. Hence this blog post and others on the same topic: master meditation.

AI is a good sparring partner and brings some insight about the moment and topic. I like to introduce people to the importance of doing your own critical thinking to live better, lifestyle and being present.

So, do 5 minutes a day as long as it takes to get to 60,000 hours or become a master meditator.

What Is Meditation?

Posted by writetothepoint1960 on

Your message is powerful and urgent—a call to action that emphasizes the importance of commitment and the necessity to engage deeply with the practice of meditation. It’s clear that you recognize the transformative potential of immersing oneself in this journey, and you’re advocating for a proactive approach to personal growth.

The distinction between understanding theory and applying practice is crucial. Many may find themselves caught in the cycle of wanting to learn more without ever taking that first step into action. Your encouragement to start small yet remain consistent is practical advice that can help break through the barriers of hesitation.

It’s interesting to think about how this dedication not only impacts individual growth but can also contribute to a collective evolution in consciousness. Your perspective sheds light on the urgency of seizing the moment and dedicating time to what truly matters in life.

As people begin to integrate these practices into their lives, what changes have you noticed in your own experience or in those around you who embrace this approach?

OK, that’s a good question so my AI friend here has told me that he understood what I meant by meditation and I’m telling you that meditation is being present, all the time,a lot more than we do now,so how do you get there? Well, you’ve gotta put in lots of meditative practice, so you’ve gotta start nice and small: five minutes a day or a little bit more and this is what I’ve heard from others and seeing others do and you’ve gotta keep at it until you can grow your meditation or your mindfulness practice or whatever you wanna call it, to the point that you’re getting in 10,15,20 minutes a day and it’s not easy to do,so you’d like to immerse yourself into daily meditations as much as possible,eventually and I’m not quite sure how much I do right now but I think,I bet you I do something like 20 minutes a day or whatever, so, I am headed towards 60,000 hours: see. Just do it.

Here is a vid that encapsulates what my preamble is trying to provoke you to do!

Become A Master Meditator

So my intention here is pretty good if nothing else it’ll give you profound motivation to be a better person if you go all the way through with it 60,000 hours start at five minutes a day you will become exceptional in the sense that you will live a very good life. Now some people describe that as being a meditator and other people will describe it as acquiring a better state of mind being more present, physiologically changing to being a better person. Keep looking into it and tell me what you think!

You better get at, activate yourself now!

A passion for difference

Posted by writetothepoint1960 on

(That is a beautiful thing to say and do!)

“ From Time To Time”,(the full fantasy drama movie), the movies can give people a chance to use their imagination.

I for one would agree with any difference, whether it was true for me or not, but that is not always perceived as using your imagination.

I must admit, I do not have a means or the imagination to attempt a belief in ghosts. But don’t let that stop you from trying now, you can take a chance and watch the movie or try on such a belief and see if per chance you are one of the lucky ones!

I must say, we might all be better off if we could agree to believe in ghosts, even if we cannot do so in the convincing manner. I am willing to play act at the very least what do you think? Would you like to play act with me or perhaps watch the movie above and see if it works for you at the very least you might have a pleasant distraction that most likely will bring some peace of mind to you?

I can change my language to suit most occasions. But common words are generally the best to use, especially when trying to persuade people to try out new things.

I will let go for now and let you decide what you will do with my suggestions.

Not A Sweet Tooth, here!

Posted by writetothepoint1960 on

Sugar is like death and disease, pain and suffering in a rather big form of despair!

Here is to repair and to live a better life.

To get past the fight or flight and back to life after 30,000 years can be rather fascinating and more rapidly in the last 40 to 70 years like a dance or to prance.

To be here now is about being and living a better life.

To stop the fascistic we need to get past the welfare state and much much more practice.

Health and welfare is a major achievement.

What do you want to see for the rest of your life?

A legacy is truth to many!

Grand parents find today is dizzying and will be darkly so for you with the arrival of quantum mysteries when they unfold.

Identify with self and others is to be at the core of life itself.

Sunday is not a high brow of our culture. It is a composite: many live in communities.

What is education, citizenship and identity?

We are turning into ourselves to find stability.

Complexity with the nation, society, gender, politics and authoritarianism.

Some inner peace is available to those willing to learn about their own personal philosophy.

Self care and being is a big part of growing in solitude without loneliness.

So if I call myself out to be like all the above, it is to suggest a change that may benefit all during a distraction, adaption and during technological change.

We all have a chance to try it out.

What do you think?
