YOU'D BETTER WAKE THE FCK UP and quick.

I've never been this scared before in my long and courageous life. I've stood up to political-correctness at every turn, but what is happening now by the left is the scariest thing I've ever seen and the morons are falling for the gaslighting.

Anyone with half a brain can see that it was AntiFa rent-a-mob who stormed the Capitol building. While Trump was actually calling for calm and a peaceful protest, but of course lefty mainstream media never showed that.

Every time I've asked a brainwashed lefty why they hate Trump, they usually say he's sexist and racist. I then ask for a quote that was sexist and/or racist and all they can come up with is a locker-room quote that was a throw-away line, I've heard drunk women say much worse about men. The only other thing they say is he hates Mexicans because he said they're rapists, when the fact is, if you read the quote in context, he said THEIR rapists, not THEY'RE rapists. And on and on it goes through the mainstream lefty media.

That CV-19 is a scam, 99% of the people dying WITH it, not FROM it, are all at the average dying age. No outbreaks at supermarkets, even before masks were mandatory.

Now we have neo-nazi style censorship from the left, the equivalent of book burning, what next, re-education camps, well, some high profile lefties are actually suggesting that.

Get off Twitter, Facebook and YouTube. Use DuckDuckGo.com ASAP. Use BitChute and Parler when it is up and running again, since Amazon denied them server access with only 24 hour notice, why, because they promoted free-speech that went against the Kool-Aid they want to force-feed us.

People complaining because Donald Trump wanted to make sure the election was honest.

96% of media companies owned by lefty Zionists, is that a coincidence, WakeTFUp.

People not allowed to travel freely around the world, just like in Communist Russia times.

Constant propaganda, pumped down our throats hour by hour, until we actually believe their BS. "Tell a big enough lie, loud and long enough, and people will eventually believe it" Joseph Goebbels and Adolf Hitler.

Racial shaming of 'white' people, you know, the ones who live in countries all the 'colored' people want to cheat their way into.

Multi-national globalists are brainwashing us to accept more immigrants and fake refugees to move cheap labour around the world and destroy cultures, preparing us for a One World government and a one world currency, all controlled by the Zionist controlled central banks.

As the founder of Zionism, Lord Rothschild said "Give me control of a nation's money
and I care not who makes the laws."

Cancel-Culture, the Woke-Weasels, AntiFa fascist thugs. All from the left, and young impressionable idiots are falling over themselves to be SJW virtue-signalers, in other words, the neo-nazi youth.

Lefties have destroyed people's need for family bonds, through record divorces, children thrown in daycare centers before they can even speak, Zionist global drug companies addicting everyone to 'medications'. Forcing them into two-income lifestyles and addiction to status symbols that cost small fortunes.

And now preparing to force you into taking their 'vaccine' and shaming anyone who dares to say that it hasn't been proven to be safe with clinical trials. Enforced vaccinations, can you believe it, ENFORCED vaccinations for a fake pLandemic.

You're being used by these mega wealthy Zionist bankers and media companies.

WAKE UP, STOP BEING SHEEP. Watch the movie Network, it's more relevant today than when it was made. Then read 1984 and Brave New World.

If you into photography buy a decent camera and download Gimp it's for free and learn some real photo editing, there lots of tutorials on Youtube or try Tinder maybe you got some luck on there. Start working out and drink tea for detoxing and try supplementing vitamins like b12, b6, D, D3 with K2 and spirulinas that will keep your mood up.

You not alone, thousands of people are in the same situation right now hang on there. Cheers

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

Anyone else have tips for fresh meat suckers arriving in Berlin.

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.

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.

I could have written this very same post. I left Berlin almost a month ago. Haven't regretted it a single time. Now I am back in my sunny hometown in the Caribbean, which is full of normal people. I have yet to see a woman with a nose piercing here, or a guy with a tattooed face, SJW vegans or someone who is in an open "relationship".

F*** Berlin.

I vaguely remember coming across this comment a couple of years back when I was stuck here and wondering if anyone else was hating their situation here.

Same here, it was about the time I spent two weeks in the Swiss Alps and was nearly crying at the thought of going back to Borelin.
