Synergy’s Unfiltered Stream of Thoughts

I was doubtful through the first half but that ended up being a very good video.

It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia is just so entertaining Didn't expect it to be so when I read the synopsis

Started watching it recently, really missed hearing dark humour being made that openly with no fear of backlash due to PC culture :")

haven't watched it but I find myself thinking about this scene often


have you watched parks and rec? not really un-PC but similar flavour of humour I'd say

That is incredible! My grandma has a similar story as well, which really hints at the validity of these types of things I think ties into the notion that our self consists of our unconscious mind (that controls our heart beating, survival mechanisms, etc.) and conscious mind. It is just about tapping into the former, like for example through affirmations. Like, there is a reason why many researchers when testing pharmaceutical drugs or vaccines give placebos too.


Yess, it is also predicated on neurology. I do not fully agree with everything said in the video, or at least the way it is presented sometimes by these spiritual speakers. But I always think it is good to keep an open mind, as you have, and try to extract new wisdom even if it is not presented in a way that aligns with our beliefs

Hmm I am actually not quite sure
I think I have always believed (lol) in the power of belief? I just see it through a neurological/ psychological lens. As well as the concept of aligning the subconscious with the conscious.

But I am not fully sure if there could be something 'supernatural' about it as well? Or at least unexplainable by modern science. Like, I think you once talked about how you manifested a box or was it a Tupperware? I have had a weird experience as well and it related to an affirmation I kept on repeating for around a month which made me question mu current stance.
TL;DR I don't even know But definitely, I have always believed in the power of the subconscious mind

Right?? That quote really spoke out to me. Have been telling myself lately "I have tried achieving this multiple times, why would this time be any different?" and so it called me out on it haha

Ohh? Have you had experience with that in direct relation to happiness? I am definitely guilty of going about it through thinking that actions will bring me happiness. that is such an interesting alternative approach 😮

Yess exactly. I also took it as mindfulness, where heaven is the ideal life some of us tend to be blinded by as opposed to the present.
"One of the most tragic things I know about human nature is that all of us tend to put off
living. We are all dreaming of some magical rose garden over the horizon-instead of
enjoying the roses that are blooming outside our windows today.
Why are we such fools-such tragic fools?"

-- Though I do not think that's what he meant

ohh? I will definitely look into him and his philosophies the.
Are you saying he is a humbleghuru? (I'm sorry I had to)


Glad you liked it

(Will reply to everything above soon)

In the meantime, guess who this is

One day, I’ll be able to continue watching it (hopefully I’ll get used to the dark humour when I do)

Very. Ill admit neurology and the like is far from my comfy areas of knowledge but some of the stories that Ive heard that have come from that kind of thing are just remarkable. The fact that it gets put down in the medical community so often is a bit tragic.. ( mum had a bit of a similar success story despite her doctor's telling her it was stupid and not worth any time since it was 'unproven' ). Its noninvasive and relatively simple, whether its proven or not it may as well be worth a shot as a last resort. Well, I think anyways.. But I digress

Completely agree! That first Alan Watts video you posted I thought was utter **** until the last 5 minutes of the video and now I find listening to his talks taking up quite of my free time

People that call to talk for long bouts of time solely about themselves each time, and get mad when you do not give them the answer or reaction they want <<<

What is the point of calling someone if you are only looking for one specific answer and reaction lol

That's part of its wonder and its "magic". Using the power of the mind to get what you want is about utilising all its facets and characteristics, it's not a case of it's either all psychological or all magical. They're my thoughts anyway : )

It was an empty plastic soap box : D. I try to pick niche things to manifest because that lessens the possibility that it's something that could just happen by chance. Ooo, I would be interested in hearing about it but if you don't want to say then of course that's fine.

Even going off modern science though the subconscious mind shouldn't be able to affect external reality and certainly not through the use of affirmations, so I do think something else is going on there. I don't think it's necessarily supernatural, maybe most people just consider it is because it currently has no rigorous scientific backing. But assuming it's one day shown to be true by empirical tests, it would then be considered completely natural, even if it's something that most people don't use. I mean, to a certain extent the observer effect (that what one expects to see is what one will see) has been demonstrated scientifically on subatomic particles, the most famous case being the double-slit experiment. And even though these effects are currently only thought to operate on this scale, isn't it true that we're all composed of these particles??? If these phenomena can occur on the tiny why can't they also occur on the macro scale?? ; )

Memory is a wonderful thing but I think a lot of the time we use it to our detriment, mainly focussing on the past failed experiences which in turn informs how we act when confronted with a similar situation. I think this is related to the concept of living in the moment where it's generally encouraged you act to confront a situation "without thinking" in the sense of just going for it without analysing all your past experiences. In this way, you truly create something new instead of just repeating a stale action you've done many times before. This is the kind of state people spontaneously enter usually when surrounded by emergencies, like the person who can't swim who jumps into the river to save the drowning baby, or those who run into a burning building to try and help those trapped inside. It's like their analytical mind switches off (which if it was on would tell them to not do it as it could potentially be fatal). Obviously, the nature of the situation would have to be taken into account, it wouldn't be wise to approach every circumstance with a blank, fresh mind as in certain scenarios that would be dangerous.

Yes, and to many other states where I simply "step into" the role, like an actor or a game. Beforehand I think or imagine the things I would be saying, doing and thinking if I already had this thing or emotional state. I don't think that's too difficult for most people to imagine. And then you fill yourself with the feeling of being that thing and you find your actions naturally flowing from that same place. It's really quite wonderful but definitely takes practice because, in the beginning, it can feel like you're just pretending. But you can reach a point where you fall so deeply into the pretence that it becomes your reality, like when you're so deeply engrossed in a dream that you're convinced you're actually there. But I've reached a state where even though I know I may be pretending, it doesn't matter because it generates the same feelings and internal states as actually having that state and so knowing you're playing doesn't invalidate the activity or mean it's not going to cause a real-life effect. This would be utilising games and pretence for a positive outcome instead of the classic self-deception that is usually seen in a negative way. Most things have a light side and shadow side, it depends on which one we want to utilise.

I don't actually know that much about him but I've known of him for years and seen a few of his things but not loads either. I think I'll investigate more too : D

Sounds very politician like.

Honestly, at this point I think someone deserves an award if they genuinely don’t know who this is 🤣😂

I'm interested to hear in her story if you feel comfortable sharing it


LOL, completely understandable. Sometimes the way he phrases things can be understood un very mystic terms, but then you sit down and think about it and all that he is saying starts to make sense
I am so glad to hear you gave him a chance and now are enjoying the genius of Alan Watts :""")

Yes, I completely get what you mean and agree
*Also that's why I mentioned neurology on top of psychology. Some of the practises associated with that type of thing have been shown to literally rewire the brain, or alter brain activity. *__*
(though not all has been proven, which relates to your second point):

That specific of an object? That is so so cool
I'll PM you

Yess you make a good point there. The only issue is that until there is empirical evidence that can't be ignored, it is hard to say because of the law of probabilities as well as cognitive biases Well issue for me, I can't get into things until I have a bit of certainty, which is not a good thing lol. Wish I could just have faith and be committed.
With that being said, have you had more than one successful experience? Interested to know (:

Ahh that's a good point. (: It is interesting now that you bring it up (micro vis-a-vis macro). Can also be extended to argue that if the particles themselves exist in infinite probabilities, doesn't our future too? I find that to be a comforting thought, that the outcomes are not limited It is easy to be convinced that the future doesn't hold many possibilities. Or at least, I think as I mentioned, I try my best to resist that way of thinking. :")

Wow. You know what I actually didn't realise that
As soon as you said that realised I was partaking in selective memory recall : o
But, anyway, I see what you mean, that is a smart way to go around it. I tend to find it really hard to shut down the analytical part of my brain that seems really intent on analysing all my past experiences as you've described. It definitely contributes to disordered anxiety thinking patterns.
Would you say that you find it easy to stop analysing? Or did it take you lots of practice?
(on that note sorry for the bombardment of questions, just find all that you're saying quite fascinating/ helpful: ;p

I'd say it can sometimes be hard not to imagine the role, but to continue on imagining which would require going against default thinking and daily habits. Though, of course, it is that resistance that I'd imagine is where the magic happens (in most cases at least).

Yeahh that as well.
"But you can reach a point where you fall so deeply into the pretence that it becomes your reality, like when you're so deeply engrossed in a dream that you're convinced you're actually there." Beautifully said *, __ ,*

Yess I see what you mean. Just as long as the desired outcome is achieved, the act of self-deception itself, which in this case isn't inherently wrong, doesn't negate its effect.

Please do share anything interesting you stumble upon by him when/ if you do

Actually, they are ironically interested in becoming a politician

I just spent a proper hour laughing my arse off watching funny Youtube videos (it is 4.30 in the morning)

Like proper laugh can no longer breathe -- that type :"")


And I somehow wonder why I am behind on my studies
