How the physical and nonphysical awarenesses influence how you see yourself, others, and the world

Being in a body can be grate, but it can come with many limitations.

Ultimately, no one does things because of you, it's always about themselves, or their projections, and this is ultimately true for everyone, including yourself. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/thespecifist/message

Why seek pleasure? Life questions 002

The point of these questions is not to get you to doubt everything, but are designed to help you become aware of some of the implicit assumptions and philosophies that guide your actions, most of which are unconscious. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/thespecifist/message
