Keep on the good fight of fighting your weight, star wars kid. May the Force be with you!
Careers are interesting... who wouldn't be stressed with a car in your rear!
Stress is addictive, it's a choice to be stressed, it's a choice to take things seriously, it's a choice to deny, deflect, and downright lie to yourself and make up stories and make excuses, it's a choice to grab that piece of food, it's a choice to not put it down, and it's a choice to swallow it after "properly" (uh oh here comes the stories) masticating every bite into a fine mash by chewing 30 times or more, 30 choices to spit out that food.
Take it easy on yourself, it takes time and focus to sustain enough attention to mold the body into a vision you have for yourself... If you constantly spike that vision with mind poisons known as "problems" or "management", how much awareness do you actually have left to put that doughnut down, let alone be in a state of mind to chose something your much rather be doing than dreaming about tossing Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen and other gross elements in the form of a doughnut into your divine cosmic cauldron?
Your overeating is tied to your choice, simple as that, you are addicted to stress, and you choose the medicine of overeating to mitiGATE and relieve that stress... there's other methods, but with all of them you will still lean into the addictive nature that is systemic to the OG stress addiction. Fighting this, fighting anything is almost always a fire vs fire fight, you want something to remain, resolve?
Give it space... that means allowing it to be, allowing yourself to just be, that is just being yourself, not being the stories you make up about yourself that serve to distract and put you in a mood of self-sabotage and self-annihilatory behavior to persist in the upkeep and to be quite frank, the hard work of doing all of that heavy psychological work and mind games to maintain--part of the way you can motivate persistence is to dualistically and ritualistically swap victimization/villinilization, or in other words you keep moving the goal posts away from you because you really enjoy all of it--You realize that all of it the good, the bad, the beautiful, the ugly... it's all love, and it is precisely this resistance to this love that perpetuates it, the stress, the manifestation of everything you want and do not want.
Dream the dream you want to be in, not the dream you don't, or better yet leave it and give it space as you go explore the unknown.
Imagine if this messaging wasn't from Amazon, but instead from your friend Bob down the street. Bob is pretty gregarious, but he's also creepy, what's he doing with all that data? Trying to take over the world?
Why not? The Federal Reserve has been printing up their own money this year like there's no tommorow.
“To lend to a bank, we simply use the computer to mark up the size of the account they have with the Fed. So it’s much more akin, although not exactly the same, to printing money, than it is to borrowing.” --Former Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke
Employers could simply use the same Sorcery to supply digital jobs.
Life improves all on its own if you leave it alone. By the time ethics and morals are the center of attention, the way has already been lost. Ethics are a product of wrongthink, a capitalist packaging of systemic poison originating from the narrative that your so-called "freedom" is up for sale. Ethics thereby become the means by which to subjugate people and their power of thought, i.e. you and your mind, as a CUSTOM(export) in of itself. The poison is the belief of the promise of the ethic, the promise of the character, or the ethos disregarding the logos and the pathos, which is utilized to persuade large swaths of people and encourages the formation of public and counterpublics which creates a positive feedback loop especially with the structures of "safe spaces" or echo chambers with which to amplify the psuedo-appearance of a prolific environment by which many material goods become available (t-shirts, mugs, stickers, swag, books, etc. -- whatever is the "fashion" of era) in return for a parasitic-like colonization in the minds of human beings, but really it's more akin to the Ouroboros, an "Ethical Ouroboros".
Of course, to break the cycle, the dragon must spit out the Tail it is devouring, realize the tale being fed was simply a grand story of much harm and suffering, shadows on the cave walls of a fever dream, abandon the attitudes of self-annihilation, and move beyond the realm of the known into the fearsome great unknown where ethics has yet to be blown into a giant red balloon full of helium gas known as Penny-wise.
Reading this has reminded me of the vice video on the UNICULT, love it.
I've watched "The Perverts Guide to Ideology" three times, each time I get 5-10-15 minutes in and the next thing I know I open my eyes and the credits are rolling. I love Žižek's work, but this documentary has a way of slipping me into an unknowing coma each time I've attempted a watching.
You know the word Fantasy is not that far of from sounding very similar to Phantasm, theay have the same etymological root, so it's not that far fetched:
>From φᾰ́ντᾰσῐς (phántasis) + -ῐ́ᾱ (-íā), from φᾰντᾰ́ζω (phantázō, “I make visible”), from φαίνω (phaínō, “I shine”).
>From φᾰντός (phantós, “visible”) + -ᾰ́ζω (-ázō), verbal adjective of φαίνω (phaínō, “I cause to appear, bring to light”).
>From Proto-Hellenic pʰáňňō, from Proto-Indo-European bʰh₂nyéti, from *bʰeh₂- (“to shine”).
> But if our fantasies are essentially the present moment, do we just have nightmare circling nightmare?
Sounds like your ouroboros nightmare hasn't had it's line drawn and isn't the right dream to take you beyond... people love nightmares, they're really easy to market and buy, it doesn't take a "whole hell of a lot" to imagine the end of awl life on earth, you can practically do it with your I's closed, even if you are Aphantasic like me.
You surround yourself with 7.8 billion people who shit nearly every day.
To put it bluntly, you are judging yourself when you take yourself to be judging others, you claim an excuse that associating with others leads to your own self-admitted "badness"... You judge yourself, and rather than taking sentence with those aspects within, you externalize it and make assumptions based upon comparisons of your ideal shitty person, which deep down we both know that we are our own worst critics.
This only leads down one road, self-annihilatory behavior.
Learn to love yourself completely, you are not lacking, and to be honest, you taking yourself to be one that thinks of others or yourself as a shitty person is one of the most lovable parts about you.
That's lovely. I accrue some great insights from this sites river, but I should probably start curating my own river again. The insightful:judgemental signal-noise ratio is trending in a direction I simply fine unstimulating of productive discourse.
That you'd ask yourself if this reply is coherent is a function of your own mind seeking meaning from what appears to be unresolved processing of a response you received from the owners of a phishing website. Given you used to frequent said site and received a text you deem similar when questioning them about BLM, is understandable, given that the narratives and subtopics generated are still in flux, history is continuing to be written and the echos of the past keep crowning into our collective reality by the mere attention placed upon them.
A world where one loves themselves completely and thoroughly is often seen as incoherent due to the limitations one finds themselves confined in--usually in the form of narratives, beliefs, values aka the "already dead driftwood" of the mind--by taking themselves to be other than what they are, the past self in cahoots with the present self vying for the spotlight of consciousness, really just another form of communication, really.
Where it breaks down and a text seems incoherent is when such attention is placed upon a text... perhaps you've been looking for incoherence ever since you received that response on that website you spoke of and couldn't bear the mind to let it go, so you carry it with you everywhere, perhaps not realizing that this gets triggered every time a text taps on the walls of your own self constructed limitations--in this case it's one of inner reflection and unconditional love for oneself in a world where everyone and everything is interconnected.
You mean Scientology-Lite? Those folks are lit, love them.
Nah, you see, promotion is very much based in spacetime, a fourth dimensional manifold. The speed of light in this system is much too slow for my preference. And the desire systems to ride those rainbows of light are very rudimentary and will never fulfill their sirens promise, no matter where you look.
May the Sun Open upon you, May it fill your Heart with a radiance so brilliant that it breaks infinitely only to fill the cracks with the Love that is you, May You Be Love.
