killing a mosquito
Request: Mosquitos calibrate at 2.
Behaviors
constantly vaping
Request: In university you’ll see a lot of this— people with a vape in their hand nonstop! Always vaping no matter what, then the panic when they misplace it!
watching movies below 200 to surrender judgements
Request: I'm curious about the intention of doing this as a way to release negative judgements or projections we have about lower levels of consciousness. Maybe it is an effective way to tame the spiritual ego too?
learning "useless" skills
Request: Sometimes one happens to enjoy something that can't be monetized, doesn't lead to spiritual growth and is unlikely to be appreciated by others. It can feel like misusing one's lifetime... Is it spiritual ego trying to cut off that which it considers to be "unworthy"?
going to your happy place
to imagine a place that makes you feel calm and happy. It can be a physical location, activity, memory, or interest that brings one happiness -- BraveAI.
semen retention
Benefits include a "reduction of stress or anxiety...[an] increase in motivation when it comes to your work... or the pursuit of other goals. Perhaps most obvious is the renewed sense of self-control you’ll gain from abstinence" -- premiermensmedical.com
"glutton for punishment"
a person who is always eager to undertake hard or unpleasant tasks — request.
intentional sleep deprivation
Request: Was thinking that it may have some spiritual benefit, despite depriving the body from what it supposedly needs, just like fasting.
romantic gestures
Request: Even if impractical, are they important in relationships?
friendship
The reality-testing capability to be friends with anyone. Includes the ability to keep constructive and appropriate boundaries.
backstabbing
"Betrayal (as by a verbal attack against one not present) especially by a false friend" -- merriam-webster.
giving up
Request: To cease making an effort; resign oneself to failure. Seems to be the ego's idea of what surrender is.
not wanting to get up in the morning
Request: What underlies this behavior?
carrying weapons for self-defense
Request: Legal ones. Fear? Not trusting God? Or perhaps self-love?
crybaby
One who cries or complains easily or often -- merriam-webster. By request.
