New and Improved website coming together beautifully. Looking to really highlight my client focus and services offered. All created personally using WordPress with the GeneratePress theme. Minimal plugins for an essentialism feel. Stop by and let me know what you think - virtutech.life

Look how conscious you are of your tooth when you have a toothache. When you don’t have a toothache, you’re not even aware you have a tooth, or that you have a head, for that matter, when you don’t have a headache.”
​— Awareness by Anthony De Mello

"You’re never so centered on yourself as when you’re depressed. You’re never so ready to forget yourself as when you are happy. Happiness releases you from self. It is suffering and pain and misery and depression that tie you to the self.

One cannot help but be in awe when he contemplates the mysteries of eternity, of life, of the marvelous structure of reality. It is enough if one tries merely to comprehend a little of this mystery each day. Never lose a holy curiosity. ... Don’t stop to marvel.
— Albert Einstein

Take all the energy you spend on...

- worrying about the future
- worrying about what others think

... and channel that energy into one useful action within your control. - James Clear

I highly recommend it. Very trippy and dark children's story.

I need to check that one out. Have you read The Graveyard book?

Bufo, dessert toad venom, or 5-MeO-DMT. My first experience with this medicine was mellow, subtle, and also powerful. I had a lot to think about after this journey, so naturally I wrote it in a blog post. See if you can find it 😜💖

Also in LA, top Twitch streamer Shroud has raised over $676K during January for his MONTH-LONG Fragathon cancer charity.

This is mind-boggling

It was a fun watch, your enthusiasm was contagious and I rolled a new POE2 character.

Happy birthday buddy. You got this ✨⚡👍

I have been going through some old blog posts and updating them with new information. Then re-posting on my new blogs. Just finished one regarding my open source infrastructure over at VirtuTech.life.

New blog post up on VirtuTea.life. This one is called The Work and is a fun way to introduce a practice that I am very invested in. Something that has helped to improve my life in a very simple and meaningful way, Inquiry.

It’s important to mention that this was a pilot study with limited participants, and the researchers did not measure cardiovascular disease (just the improvements to risk factors)

With the new year, people are always making resolutions. I have been going to the pool 3 days a week for a few months now to swim laps. If the lanes are fun, and I can't swim (or maybe run?) laps, this channel has some great alternatives.

See channel in comments below 👇

So this year, instead of just setting goals or building habits, focus on your self-perception and shutting out the negative thoughts and beliefs.
