You do not need a religion. You do not need any Buddha statues, temples, Buddhist rosaries, and all that jazz. But when you get to the point that you know you do not need any of those things, you do not need a religion at all; then it is fun to have one. Alan Watts (Image: b/w photo pf AW)

You can will yourself to act, but you can't will yourself to will

Hi, I actually made this feed and I've fixed it so that it should be showing more content now. Thanks for pointing this out 😀 Should be better now after a couple refreshes. I also recommend this one, which has similar authors and figures, so it gets more posts:

Walk into every room like God sent you 🔥

This is a super cool collection of blocklists but the "right wing propaganda" one is a little crazy. Totally agree with the neo-Nazis in that list but there looks to be totally normal, right leaning people in it too. Surely we shouldn't block right wing people en masse haha, it's not very democratic

Instagram has a feature where you can obfuscate the number of likes on every post you view

Feeds can be so slow on here, I wonder how easy it will be to scale and manage when more people use the site and try their hand at making them.

Spent some time optimising mine but still they're not super fast. God help us when there's thousands of less optimised ones saturating the site.

The Bhagavad Gita changed the way I think about God and the universe. Even just rethinking the term worship, as something more than getting on my knees and praying, was hugely helpful for my own personal growth

If you like that, you'll love the Baader-Meinhof phenomenon. It's literally everywhere!

Added a URL shortener to ked.dev. What I like most about using my own is that, because nobody uses it, I can make the URLs super short - which is the whole point of a URL shortener.

That's awesome! I have to say I'm quite jealous you had the chance to know him 😀

Treat everyone you meet like God in drag - Ram Dass

I also did this Ram Dass feed you'll probably appreciate 🙏

Only we're allowed to say it 😤

Cool pic :D I created a Feed here on Bluesky for things relating to Ram Dass which you might appreciate, it's actually how I found your post. I'm also looking to find like minded people on here. Welcome!

I saw somebody post "Lefty nonsense" to a picture of somebody's hummus and that is the full extent I've seen of other viewpoints

I believe this too. If the consciousness of one person can determine the outcome for everybody, then it would imply that all conscious beings are connected. We collectively determine reality.

I do think that Bluesky has like 99% left wing people, but that's no fault of Bluesky or left wing people. There's no reason people of all belief systems can't use this platform. I guess there's a bit of a divide nowadays, which is a shame.

Hell of a pace. I'm only just pushing below 7:00/km for my 5ks haha

You are an aperture through which the universe is looking at and exploring itself - #AlanWatts

Bhagavad Gita changed my life too 🙏 I'll take a look at the others you mentioned

Do you use Strava? If so, can I follow you?

My daughter is 7 weeks old and dressing her up is the best. Nothing cuter than a baby in a dress or dungarees. We have far too many clothes 😂

This is from Jack Hawley's translation of the Bhagavad Gita
- one of my favourite quotes 😁

"Some people, trying to escape the fear of death, come to Me for refuge. Once with Me, they learn of their True Self. Therefore, because death stirs people to seek answers to important spiritual questions, it becomes the greatest servant of humanity, rather than its most feared enemy."

I'm a Newcastle fan and this is really nice. I get the feeling he struggles with the rough departure from his former club, would love to see things mended. I'll be watching out for the tenth minute 🖤

He had concepts of a Project 2025

I love to dip carrot sticks in my lefty nonsense

I'm actually impressed with the extent that I went to with building redstone contraptions as a child. It would take quite a concerted effort if I were to get back to that same level of skill, which was essentially electronics.

Will definitely be showing my daughter when she's of age 😁
