The reason he's confused is, one part of our brain stores thought memories and another stores feeling memories, No one can consciously remember before the age of two, but before that age we did store feeling memories of events. A baby left alone too long can feel lost/abandoned, helpless etc, and these would feel life-threatening , the memory stored would be X alone, = Y life threatening situation.
In the future, any situation remotely similar can trigger that feeling, which in turn, within a split nanosecond, will trigger thoughts about that feeling, or a thought can trigger the feeling.
This leads to confusion, anxiety and depression to depress our feelings, because they disturb us, in some cases it can lead to schizophrenia to split ourselves off from these irrational feelings, some people can go into their imagination so deep as an escape they stay there for some respite from these feelings that don't fit the current reality.
This is why we don't trust our intuition, we're not sure if it's old fears and hurts or truly our knowing intuition. So I think this is what is confusing this guy, I hope this explanation helps. You can read more here TheReleaseEffect
No, memory is related to feeling, I think. There is no part that stores feel memories and then thought memories, I mean the real memory. We're not in parts, were are whole. Just like you feel and then perceive with your mind and not receive something through your mind that then determines how you feel (well, not much). It's like a bug on its back. I seen one that easily jumped back up as if he wanted to show me (yeah I know noone will believe that but I swear he did). The clue is you don't meddle in the mind stuff but get back to your feel, sense how you feel. But because that is true and nothing else. You don't have to, I'm just saying. I'm saying it's the same thing as a bug on its back. It's not funny aside the relief (in a general sense). Life is a stream but of course you can pick it up freshly. It is a real problem when one is upside down when then our human things keep us trapped within that. Reality wise you feel, then you have a thought. Everything else does actually not exist because it is already taken by what is real. Yet on the other side things on our mind might be strong because this is where we left off in terms of feeling. You'd actually feel about that and this is the hard part while not really. Love can heal surely and love is no choice. There actually is already a real reality so to speak. We really got psyched out with ideas that we had when we were rather lost. It's a bit like a sandbox thing (computer term). For example people who tried to heal others, often called co-narcissistic. The idea to heal was in itself not a bad one (baby bathwater) but it made it worse. So often we think of God as someone we would betray and that God would be angry with us but no, we actually don't even mean anything else. Christians for example are pretty off with quite a few things. You can of course have sex before marriage. I think we just split in like two. Christians being the ones who put all the effort to stay true so to speak while that can be very repressive and then others who are more free but they're not in touch with conscience. It's like at some point we broke free from our stagnant things and of course we would get lost. It's also an interesting question why did Lucifer even rebel vs God? What's the point? So in that sense God is also Lucifer I think. But there is no masterplan of a controlling God because it's a being thing. Just some ideas that came up, I might be confusing things of course.
Uhm I'm sure now, the bug was not showing me anything :). It just appeared just like that when he did try it out. Don't wanna bug you with this random anecdote. He was struggleing, then found back on its feet, and then did it again as if to test something he learned or he was repeating an impulse or something kynaesthetical. You can already tell by how I wrote it. It means I could swear it was like that, aka it wasn't like that but appeared just like that.
It seems the person above it overly focused on religion, i.e. they think the thing that guides a persons thought would be mainly due to whatever god would want you to do. But the OP is more on the right track in the sense that yes it is true thought comes from feeling i.e experience. So if you have a sh*tty experience in childhood, say, that is going to make you think a certain way when you encounter certain things as an adult. And you are unnecessarily triggered and have unnecessary defense mechanisms that were once necessary. And the subconscious has become a good sabotager.
Ok, I didn't mean this successively and especially not liberatively. And of course you can feel about a thought. I meant lets say you think a lot and are kind of lost with that but then realize you feel tired, and relax BECAUSE of how you feel. Or little things in life...you're looking for a word since you are translating words and you came across one you feel you already translated. You happen to write these with small writing into the book. But you feel you really like the small writing (while you just actually felt to have to search that "fu.cking" word, or you might not even have went for it and looked it up again or not even recaled you already looked it up) So you feel like you like the small writing and you feel it's because it's like little universes or it has depth...doesn't matter but you feel so and swooosh your eyes catch that word you were looking for.
to respond: No, I don't mean any religion. Religion is exactly ..Idk it's not wrong you know. It's very natural. Based on something true (not the content...I mean, that I didn't mean the content, I didn't say that the content was wrong, while it might be wrong but I didn't mean that), that just didn't all get there. Remember we have social things of being together, so those would still be there. I sorts of feel, there is also something to what the OP writes. In fact I kind of covered it too but I also feel this specifically is not benefitial to think about, like what I wrote is not a solution to childhood experiences. While many of these childhood experiences actually are sorts of not as they appeared. A strict parent, they talk a lot of nonsense. If you were in class and you feel tired and you just sleep and then the teacher comes and is like don't sleep, you could just stay with your feel and speak from there. I'm tired. And if he bugs you, it would make you angry. Or let's say you would have confidence that there is nothing he could do or say that you couldn't handle. So you wouldn't actually ignore him but you would just keep relaxing. While of course it might hurt if you were too much on his line, well then he hurt you. You could say You just hurt me!!. While otherwise that wouldn't even concern you. But I was digressing. So, parents say a lot of things that are Idk it's a difficult topic. Many don't know how to feel. You can strongly feel even by imagination and like stick with the feel. You might have strong anger, that is okay as long as you don't harm anyone else. It can be expressed with imagination or music. Or words as for a relationship. Very often we try to redo while that would actually not be the expression we mean to do. Idk, you gotto figure this yourself in a creative way but it's clear that there is usually only one "thing" you would say. And the less you would be affected the more light you would say it. By that I mean, things you'd say very angrily also is the same you might say very lightly or even with love. But there's a lot more to it. Seeing it right and stuff, although not necessarily because you do have a feel. Idk if you can still make out the same theme of this forced things vs how you feel and THEN things come up because we are not machines, you are like happening all the time, while it definitely helps to see something right. It is not easy, I got not much of a clue myself, you know this world can make one dizzy so easily, while at the same time, it's rather disharmonies. So yeah I don't mean to make any sense really or a point.
And I don't mean to search for what to say as if that was the holy grail or so. It has more to do with how you feel and especially with wat you would have said, if something didn't confuse you, so there is no pupil thing attached to it, or dummy thing. And I just meant to share what I wrote in the other post because this already is confusing for me as well, while it might just be from writing it. Ah yeah I also don't mean such a thing as to express your feelings as if feelings were something alien. So many times we DO want to feel and we didn't, so it's still there and darkening our light and making our minds foggy. It's actual weight..Depression...what do you think that is? pressed together life stream.
I spell it out..it doesn't mean "to annoy" it means like a bug on its back. Or in Germany people said "du Spast". this actually means "du spasst" you are making fun. And it's originally also a way of making fun. There is a lot in words. senge is bed in Norwegian and it means to not only physically lower but also connection wise. But it also relates to singing..Sänger...Or spielen relates to spill. Spilling good things. Children often play even with water. In Norwegian it is called spill. And I bet noone of you actually realized that vorbereiten has to do with reiten to ride. Or entscheiden has to do with scheiden. You cannot picture the actual meaning of a word and that makes it harder also to learn new languages cause you actually know every word already in a human sense.
"Du Spast" means anger vs somebody who doesn't realize they are spaßen/joking. I meant that it relates to spaßen. I didn't mean that it was literal for "du spaßt". And younger people they do joke around like that. They make fun while appearing serious and it just got kinda lost at some point.
I just got to share this. Maybe you get it or maybe you can tell me what is off about it. This relates to a quote from Mark Twain, that Adam ate the apple not for the sake of the apple, but because it was forbidden. And aside the obvious freedom feel that comes with that there is something else to it:
We misinterpret fears often, not seeing it as something we didn't mean to do in the first place or generally not understanding wat a feel means. Often we feel the need to know what to do when we though only feel to not do something. Well, then our feel is to not do something, that might be all you know and what you can have confidence in (believe). But because we want to know what to do, while we though don't know what that is, we overgo our feel, and by that end up doing something we didn't mean to do. Because we were not cool with feeling to not do something, because we didn't feel that this is a great thing or simply how you feel , aka the only thing that is real. That is also interesting, from a reality pov. There was nothing else but that feel as for that and usually when you go with your feel, you'll see later, while that is though no goal or something to get to because you are on the page that you are at.
The question though really is why did God not rely on our gut-instinct? Since Adam would have clearly felt to not do something. He might been the first human (it's probably a metaphor) but that doesn't make him a noob. Why would God even do such a thing that causes irritation. And I guess the answer is, God didn't do that, since how should he? He didn't write anything out for Adam to read. No, God is that gut-instinct, that feel. And it only appeared so strict or seemingly overimportant because it actually was serious, but it wasn't seen why it was serious. It was serious because God is not overly serious, to prevail the lightness. And because that lightness was at danger it reasonably appeared as something you could translate to as forbidden. From which we must have misinterpreted things onto God such as what we understand as authority. When in reality that relates back to our feel. Not something that was meant to keep us small but the opposite.
I also feel God is mostly unawake in many people and therefore God doesn't use others. Since often people see it the way that God would use them.
I don't mean this in a relegious sense, I mean this in a reality sense.
The only reason electronic music is big in Berlin is because they have the venues for it and a kind of lawlessness when it comes for drugs. Let’s relocate this.
I have the feeling that when I move out of this city / country, life will become better. I can’t stop thinking of this feeling
The BER Airport is a joke. The only airport located in Berlin - Tegel is closed thanks to corruption.
These pooping pretending spots "goodbye Tegel". Why you close aiport thats closest and is cheaper to travel in zone B?
Because you want to people pay more into zone C outside of Berlin and take more time to get there. Retards
If you think Chomens hate foreigners, think again. They hate each other, too. They don’t even like themselves. So negative and miserable. There are exceptions, but good luck finding them

Make sure you get the monthly ticket that stars on the day you buy it "Flexible" monthly.
A monthly bike pass is only €10. Also make sure you get "Flexible".
If you need to find a transport route, go to BVG.de and follow the dots.
For good vegan food, go to Hum Viet in PrenzlauerBerg,
1990 in Friedrichshain.
O-Slow near OsloerStr in SchwedenStr.
Best vegan cakes in the world at MorgenRot, not open Mondays, They Don't Like Mondays.
Look up all veg places in HappyCow.com there are over 80 in Berlin.
Do not go to Apple for Mac repairs, go to 88 WranglerStr , he's quick, very good and much cheaper, best of all he's honest. A short walk from U-Schlesisches Tor.
U-Bahns have stops average every 500 metres apart. S-Bahn average 1 km apart. Trams average 350 metres apart.
If Germans stare at you, don't be concerned, they stare at everyone who doesn't look like a Berliner. It's the most popular pastime for Berliners.
If you and a Berliner accidently bump into each other, and you say "entschuldigung", do not expect under any circumstances to get an "entschuldigung in return, all you will get is a scowl. It's normal here.
Be very careful not to become like them over time. When you catch yourself being rude like them for survival, get out, as quick as you can.
Be prepared to lose your apartment deposit, it's called the caution.
Do not use your address to have parcels delivered. Find a kind local shop-owner to keep it for you, tell them you'll pay €1.00 if they text you when it arrives. Or use the DHL delivery boxes, otherwise your neighbours will steal it from you.
If you live in Wedding, go to Cafe Baobab in SoldinerStr 41 Very chilled place, an oasis.

One last thing, everything you think is great about Berlin, will turn to shiit within 6 months, and on reading this now, you won't believe me. Good luck, you are going to need it.
Some numbers go odd-even opposite each other, other streets go around in a circle, one after each other on the same side of the road each way.
Thomann.de have a 30 day return policy, if you need any musical instruments, mics, amps etc. Prompt delivery.
I've found the best supermarket overall, is KaufLand, you'll see what I mean.
Do not trave without a transport ticket, they will catch you. Apparently 1/3 or people in jail are for repeated transport fare violations.
Always get the €1.60 extension into zone three if you are going to the BER airport.
Go and watch the dogs have fun playing, in their fenced off area at Templehof Field, the old airport.
I hope these tips make your life a little easier.
Looks like you are becoming Germans, with only negative comments.
Kaufland near OsloerStr is open until midnight. After 21.00 it's very quiet, I love it because no one is there and the staff used to be very friendly.
That's the last time I leave tips for ungrateful khunts, go and fck yourselves with a red hot poker.
Wow! I found this post from 3 years ago, from Maria;
I am leaving Berlin for good on Monday. Am packing up this weekend. Texting friends and family at home, making plans to meet up. It's such an incredible feeling, to know that you're leaving this place. I hope you all get to experience this someday soon.
Background info:
I came to Berlin 1 year ago. At first, I was drawn to the physical freedom that I found in Berlin... you know, the typical things. Good quality of life for the price, slower pace of life, not stressful compared to major cities, lots of arts/culture/entertainment/nightlife, diversity, people weren’t obsessed with status, income or image like they are in so many places, and so on. I slowly realized, over that year, that this was all an illusion. And a very twisted illusion at that. If you don’t have the awareness and introspection skills to see Berlin for what it is, you WILL become a typical Berliner over time, if you stay in Berlin.
Here is my breakdown of the “illusions” of Berlin…
Good quality of life for the price - This is all relative to your salary. Salaries in Berlin are very low, unemployment is very high, prices are skyrocketing (especially for housing) without increase in salary or industry. There is a social tension in Berlin because tourists come in with money, long-term tourists come here and live for months/years, etc, and this pisses off people on Hartz IV and/or those receiving housing assistance, or those who make a typical low Berlin salary. I would say only maybe 20-30% of people in Berlin make a “real” salary. The rest are on some kind of social assistance, are unemployed, people who work very part-time (a few shifts at a bar or something) and are always working on “projects”, students and/or make a very low salary. The average person doesn’t have a career or much ambition. Tourism is the only real industry in Berlin, yet the people resent it because it’s forcing Berlin to change/evolve/etc, and people in Berlin are evolutionary failures. People who can’t and won’t evolve, change or adapt. The only reason they continue to survive/live is because the German government provides so much for them.
Slower pace of life/not stressful compared to major cities - True, but you also don’t get the bustling energy of a true major city. Berlin is more like a bunch of provincial towns pasted together.
Lots of art/culture/entertainment/nightlife - Once you go to a few grungy bars in Kreuzberg, some galleries that you know deep down in your heart is displaying totally sh*t art, eat doner a few times, go to the nightclubs stuck in time in the 90s with the whole sex/raver/drug den culture, maybe go to the Christmas markets in December… you have basically experienced all of the “culture” that Berlin has to offer. Unless your idea of culture is sitting in gritty bars where you can’t breathe from smoke fumes, going to horrible art galleries, getting high in clubs, going to fetish/sex parties, etc, you will tire of Berlin’s art/culture/nightlife etc, and find that it offers no variety.
Diversity - LMAO. This one is hilarious. I could write a book on how twisted this is in Berlin. Yes, on the outside, Berlin looks diverse, but really all you have is people who might look different, but they all think the same. You can be white, black, brown, yellow, green, but you think the same exact way as everyone else, have the same personality. Even in fashion, people in Berlin largely all dress the same and you won’t find many people with a unique style like you’d see in other big cities across the world. People are very same-samey, matching, robotic, conformist. Also, Germans deep down are quite prejudiced, xenophobic and secretly will never accept outsiders even though they put on this facade of being international, liberal, what with their constant traveling overseas etc. If you are white and learn fluent German, you might be partly accepted, but you will have to CONSTANTLY hear autistic screeching from Germans about how your country is x, y and z, how Germany does this and that better, hear their passive aggressive cowardly put-downs, and so on. If you are brown, non-European background, etc, forget it. Leave Berlin immediately before it starts to damage your psyche. People will assume you are a refugee at first glance, or a drug dealer (if you’re a black man), and you will never really be accepted in German society, let alone be allowed to prosper or advance. The best case scenario for non-white immigrants is opening a nail salon. Germans will always use Asians as an example of successful immigrants, when they are criticizing Turks for not wanting to integrate… yes, you can come to Germany, wash toilets, work in restaurants… maybe someday you can even open a nail salon! You good little immigrant! *pats your head*
People aren't obsessed with status, income or image - True, but they are obsessed with having the same exact political and social opinions , wearing the same clothes, thinking the same thoughts, eating the same horrible food, drinking the same cheap terrible beer, etc. There is MORE peer pressure in Berlin to conform, then there would be in a bigger, more cosmopolitan city that has true diversity in human beings. Yes, you will find more materialistic people in big cities like London, Paris or New York, but you’ll also find real artists, real intellectuals, real working class people who aren’t totally hostile, real everything. In Berlin, everyone is basically just the same, and if you are not, you will be soon, because no one can psychologically handle living in Berlin while being a real individual. Politics - mostly they are deranged wannabe anarchist pseudo leftist types who think they are “free" while being dependent on the German government, alcohol and drugs. Lots of SJW, 5th wave feminist type of brain damaged morons who find Berlin to be a mecca for their ilk. Lots of people have no real friends, are lonely, etc… this is why you will find people drinking at 10am on Tuesday on the train. In general, people here don’t have fulfilling relationships, and a large part of having good mental/emotional health, is having fulfilling relationships. People this stupid, devoid of common sense/reality, lacking in empathy/social skills and people this irresponsible WILL, over time, damage your own psyche.
Basically, Berlin is for a very specific type of person. It’s basically a place for losers, slackers, bums, etc… it’s like living in your mother’s basement forever, surrounded with other people living in their mum’s basement, so you never have to feel bad about yourself, although deep down you are extremely insecure. If you have any ambition or spark or whatever in you, you will come here and be miserable after a while, because you never planned to live in your mum’s basement forever… which is what Berlin is. If you are not this type of person, leave immediately before this city damages your psyche. I am leaving on Monday and am losing thousands of euros in the process, but I can’t stand to be here any longer.

F*** Berlin.
Ever notice how chermans all like the same things and have the same hobbies and interests and fashion sense ? What’s up with that? There are like 4 outfit styles here. 3 types of music. 3 hobbies. Etc
i feel like a lot of Germans do do things in their free time like sports or volunteering but they always take it so seriously that it is more like a second job. It seems as if at no point is it acceptable to be "unprofessional" i.e. a normal, imperfect, feeling being
I’m sure all chomens used today’s events in the usa to feel better than them. Oh wait, they did this months ago at the Bundestag
just fornicate corona right now. Berlin is ok in comparison
I like money too much to live in Berlin. People here think they are rich if they get $60 in tips in a 12 hour bar shift. This place is a joke, for people who either don’t know any better or like having low self esteem and low standards.
So we finally have a cloud service at work. Well, it’s not really working. It’s a very German solution creating more problems.
Why?
Ohh America bad! We cannot save files on US servers. Sooo bad!
Germans only want you as their friend to project their own idea of yourself onto you and to have you fit into the role they have invented for you,
i.e. "the party girl", "the funny foreigner", "the desperate single", "the one unhappy in his job", "the rich kid", "the one I can call for advice at night" etc...
They don't like you for your personality and as soon as something changes in your life (especially if it is to the better) or you don't "serve" them any more in your "role" they will run away ...
(But they do it to everyone, Germans alike, and I experience this being half German ...)
