I want to start Dune
Fear is the mind killer
Only relevance I have in knowing about it

Oh speaking of dark things inside of us, I absolutely love revenge/justice movies. The most recent one I saw and loved was “Prisoners” on Netflix. Idk what it is inside me that loves that. I love the emotions I feel seeing the person get justice. Usually for a righteous cause, but still…
Have you seen “Sleepers?” That’s one of my all time favorite movies.
Never heard of it til now but it looks good!

I have different shades of darkness and I don’t even know which one is the worst…
Maybe giving up (patterns of giving up), apathy, weakness and tiredness (mostly mental), sometimes jealousy as well (general jealousy tendencies, not necessarily sexual, I can get jealous quite easily, but fortunately, it never seems to be a big problem, yet I have to acknowledge it too; it goes away quite fast, especially through spirirual practices and fields), also, it used to be hate (justified hate, for those who wronged me and my family, this type I mean here, not random hate), and although hate it is still present (somewhere), it is insignificant, compared to what it used to be.
Complacency, this one I would add too, also easily seeing the bad in others and thinking of hidden motives, plus being suspicious of others, yet/while the good, I see it, but I do not emphasize it enough.
And FEAR, I forgot to mention it…
These too…

Hatred.
And lies.
The lies are easier to deal with because I mostly just lie to myself.

I forgot to mention a sense of shame and guilt that seems almost innate instead of instilled.
And yeah, unforgivable lies…my life is a house of cards.

Lol,
Power and money don’t change people.
It amplifies who you are. It gives you the freedom to be a jerk by removing the consequences.
It doesn’t change who you are, it changes the situation you are in and how society treats you, then your risk/benefit ratio is on another level.
A guy who breaks up with his wife as soon as he gets lots of money to be a playboy didn’t change because of the money. Money and power allowed him to do what he really wanted.
A guy who insults his boss and coworkers has he gets a big career advancement, didn’t change, he wanted to do that for years.
Whatever it is.
Guys who drive 250km/h
- He can afford a super car
- He can afford the monetary punition

The same can be said about prosperity/velmegun for corruption/skemmd.
Icelandic saying of the same coin with prosperity also “corrupting”.
Just look at our times now.
Of course it is an at individual level where it manifests, and not the prosperity or power itself.
I find it also interesting how people still stubbornly view power and money as this so called “corruption”.
I was gonna rant about victim complex, etc. but I’ve seen enough of it to be aware and not care.
Focus on my own perceptions, and not cry for those who do nothing about their criticism against systems of this tyranny or whatever.
The complainers are always the docile ones and ne’er-do-wells.

You also see all over Twitter and sometimes here in the forum people are with their pot calling the kettle black philosophies surrounding money and “power”.
The ideologies they try to pigeonhole people with how they ought to think or behave.
How they should make their money or otherwise.
I remember talking to Sammy about it before, about helping people unconditionally.
But how many times are you going to lead them to the water for them not to drink?
And speaking of waters, are people who have any self respect not gonna drink this kool aid of hypocrisy?
Khidr don’t drink the water, but you did and now you are no longer “mad”, but sane like everybody, congratulations you are in a society.
I have bone to pick with those generations who fail to utilize their time and then terminally point figures on the wealthy for working while they pissed that time away with Netflix or ethnic dramas.
Að pissa í skó sinn.
There paycheck to paycheck comfortableness is concerning.
To keep peeing in your own shoes to keep you warm while the blizzard of changing times and wealth creation and requirements wash you out.
Those college kids that parachute of the whims of their parents svengaliness.
You need to drop 100k on an education in 2023?
What is this education btw?
Books I can read on overdue fine charges then your ten thousand myriad tuition?
I’m Broke this broke that.
But will sht all over you for doing good for yourself.
The food they eat and the clothes they wear to keep warm, all come from the interests on interests accumulating - corruption.
That are printed 24/7 to fight wars not needed to be fought, in the name of your string pullers agendas.
Do nothing and don’t try, get a college degree to what end?
All that time, and WiFi access?
That brain of yours that you’ve been upgrading to just collect dust like books on shelf never read?
Maybe this prosperity has corrupted them?
They feel like princes in their white castles, so they don’t do anything above and beyond what is demanded of them.
They think they are too good to build that company for financial freedom but have no qualms with trashing on someone who does.
ne pas se moucher du pied
Cats that got the cream with dime a dozen jobs that could be taken away from them at any moment.
The jobs that only keep them mildly safe, but not enough for their nuclear families.
Are people afraid to climb any higher?
Or are they just content enough not to try?
They do nothing.
Not a care in the air.
Blame Biden and his inflation.
In the “democracy” you voted for.
The mandates you as a collective did nothing to revolt against like your predecessors.
Because life is okay. And you don’t want to risk.
Blame anybody but do anything for yourself.
Að stökkva upp á nef sér.
So what am I saying?
Corruption does nothing. And even if it you do nothing about.
It’s you that everything is subjected to.
It’s all on you!

The fact that people are so emotionally myopic.
And can’t see anything past sex blows my mind.
Why even.
Guess I’ll choose another world to sandbox when the next game launches.

My limiting beliefs and lack of awareness of other ways and solutions.
All possible negative emotions, thoughts and behaviors are a cosequence of these.
“Spiritual blindness” aka not seeing the other possible ways and options.
The shadow self with all its dark aspects is that which is yet unconscious and unrealized.
So making the unconscious conscious, and removing limiting beliefs, is all that matters to move ahead I believe.
Conceptual Realizations field is the key here once again.
Once I am able to remove a limiting belief, and acknowledge and realize that there are other ways of doing stuff, manifestating stuff, other ways of thinking and feeling and experiencing stuff, other possible choices and options, then the whole chain of “dark” emotions and behaviors that resulted from the previous paradigm becomes redundant and can be let go.
