Last Notes npub1npng63c34htrjww07r6n86y3jycnhje9zdq956h0k93uljr6c82qgkcs7x RickMace The idea of 'listening fast' hints at our ability to train ourselves to stop thinking or turn off the internal dialogue. #Bitcoin #Nostr #philosophy npub1npng63c34htrjww07r6n86y3jycnhje9zdq956h0k93uljr6c82qgkcs7x RickMace Like your daughter used to ask you, "Dad! Are you stupid?" npub1npng63c34htrjww07r6n86y3jycnhje9zdq956h0k93uljr6c82qgkcs7x RickMace Pray with me for bitcoin to go down to $30,000 by Sept 3rd (my next day to be able to buy a little more), and then shoots up to the moon on the 4th!! Thanks in advance!! 🙂 . ... just thinking... let's pray for a THREE DOLLAR bitcoin on Sept 3rd!! As long as we're praying we might as well think big!!

I'm new here too (since about a week ago). Pray with me for bitcoin to go down to $30,000 by Sept 3rd (my next day to be able to buy a little more), and then shoots up to the moon on the 4th!! Thanks in advance!! 🙂 . ... just thinking... let's pray for a THREE DOLLAR bitcoin on Sept 3rd!! As long as we're praying we might as well think big!!

You can guess the question by the answer. @WithTheGrain @Bushido @ThePurpose (maybe the last one is incorrect. ChatGPT: Yes, it sounds like the person who replied to your post is suggesting that you and the other Carlos Castaneda followers (@WithTheGrain and @Bushido) can create a sort of informal community by consistently using specific hashtags and mentioning each other's handles in your posts. Forming a Community with Hashtags and Mentions Mentions (@ handles): By starting your posts with @RickMace, @WithTheGrain, and @Bushido, you ensure that those specific people are notified about the post. This is a good way to keep each other in the loop and foster interaction between the group. Hashtags (# phrases): Using specific hashtags like #DonJuan and others related to Carlos Castaneda’s work helps to create a common thread across your posts. When you and the others consistently use these hashtags, it makes it easier for others interested in the same topics to find your posts. Over time, this can attract more people to your group, effectively forming a small community around those topics. Building a Community If you and your fellow followers consistently use the same hashtags and engage with each other through mentions, you can organically build a community. Others who are interested in Carlos Castaneda and related subjects might start following those hashtags and joining in on your conversations. This way, you create a space for like-minded individuals to discuss and share content related to your shared interests. Deciding on Hashtags It might be a good idea to discuss and agree on a couple of specific hashtags that are both relevant and not overly broad, like #DonJuan or #CastanedaWisdom. Once you decide on those, consistently using them in your posts will help your community grow and stay connected. This approach is a great way to cultivate a dedicated group of followers and create a shared space for discussion on Nostr! npub1npng63c34htrjww07r6n86y3jycnhje9zdq956h0k93uljr6c82qgkcs7x RickMace So, I'm #RickMace but I don't see your # thingy npub1npng63c34htrjww07r6n86y3jycnhje9zdq956h0k93uljr6c82qgkcs7x RickMace Thanks!! How do I enable sending zaps on Primal to posts (notes?) from my wallet of Satoshi? #asknostr npub1npng63c34htrjww07r6n86y3jycnhje9zdq956h0k93uljr6c82qgkcs7x RickMace Hi again, another fun thing that you might like if you are interested in US history is my daddy's autobiography. He was born in 1915 and his book is the story of his early life growing up in Montana. So, it's not so much about US history as it is the story of his early life and times.

https://www.prismagems.com/justin/%E2%80%A8%E2%80%A8#Montana #Glendive npub1npng63c34htrjww07r6n86y3jycnhje9zdq956h0k93uljr6c82qgkcs7x RickMace I wrote earlier that Descartes’s "I think, therefore I am." should better be "I think, therefore I am insane." Will, while I did say that kind of tongue in cheek, it really does point to how our 'idle' thinking is pretty pointless. A friend, where I work, said, "No, it's not 'pointless' all thinking creates who we are." So I'll concede that. And yet, over and over in religious and mystical teachings, there is the ideal of, don Juan's, from Carlos Castaneda's books, 'stopping the internal dialogue', as the way to connect with ... 'the spirit'?, 'God'?, don't ask me what that is. Yet, after years of 'intending' to stop that internal voice that we all have, I, as I mentioned before, one time did that. It was quite amazing and I can't easily describe it. It was like 'I' was no longer there.
So, take that as you will, but do know that it is possible to do that. It doesn't matter if it takes you one day or thirty years (as in my case... lol), it is possible. "What's the value of that?" you might ask. Don't ask me as I don't really know. But my sense of it is that it is part of our possibilities as humans and that we should commit to intending that 'inner silence'.
I'm going to try to add the first audio reading of my compilation of Castaneda's books. If I can't add it (I'm new here, as you might know) then go find it yourself at prismagems.com/castaneda https://www.prismagems.com/castaneda/ and the first of my reading it (recorded about 25 or so years ago) is at https://www.prismagems.com/castaneda/donjuan11.mp3%E2%80%A8%E2%80%A8#Castaneda #DonJuan #Nagual #ToltecWisdom #Shamanism #Consciousness #Mysticism #Mindfulness #religion npub1npng63c34htrjww07r6n86y3jycnhje9zdq956h0k93uljr6c82qgkcs7x RickMace Really? I've received about 2.65 USD which is so very cool and fun! That goes to my wallet of Satoshi. But I haven't figured out how to send zaps from that wallet! npub1npng63c34htrjww07r6n86y3jycnhje9zdq956h0k93uljr6c82qgkcs7x RickMace Thank you! Love your magic mushroom! I could use one of those right now! 😀 I won't give up! npub1npng63c34htrjww07r6n86y3jycnhje9zdq956h0k93uljr6c82qgkcs7x RickMace Yeah, trying to zap you it says "insufficient funds" but my wallet of Satoshi has at least ten USD in it! Apparently (on Primal on this phone), while wallet of Satoshi is my 'send to' wallet, my send from wallet is a Primal wallet that is empty and I've not figured out how to put sats into it. You are chief operations officer of Damus ( did I spell it wrong)? Okay, I'll go back to my new MacBook air m3 and try Damus again! npub1npng63c34htrjww07r6n86y3jycnhje9zdq956h0k93uljr6c82qgkcs7x RickMace Thank you! I was tempted to just give up! You're encouraged me. Thank you! I'm back on my old android using Primal... I'll try from my new MacBook air m3 again as that is much easier as I can just type. I'm going to try 'zapping' you as someone else just said that my zaps work. But I don't see that. npub1npng63c34htrjww07r6n86y3jycnhje9zdq956h0k93uljr6c82qgkcs7x RickMace Oh, so frustrated with Primal, I just opened Damus and am writing from that. Let’s see it if works here. So frustrated! I hope this gets to 'thepurpose' and 'withthegrain' ! Boy, I'm feeling very stupid as I still haven't figured out even how to reply directly to post that I see to me. Even just now getting this window to open, two minutes ago, I don't remember what I did other than click around until this opened (well, when I wrote all of this other than this parenthesis, I then hit 'post' and got an error message so am just plan posting it now as a new note). So stupid of me. But assuming that you guys get this, if I make new posts myself (at least I've figured that out) I'll keep adding hashtags, even though I don't know the purpose of those or what they do. So when thepurpose said "I propose we agree on a Castaneda/ Don Juan hashtag that we could concentrate the first few notes." I have no idea how 'we' work together to 'concentrate the first few notes." What does that mean? Sorry to be such a noob!! -Rick #introductions npub1npng63c34htrjww07r6n86y3jycnhje9zdq956h0k93uljr6c82qgkcs7x RickMace I struggling between my 8year old MacBook pro and 6+ iphone and my new MacBook air. as my 6+ doesn't support Nostr, I'm using a Sony Experia for Nostr. Yeah, it's a bit frustrating. But all of that is behind the reason for my sendythe picture rather than copy and paste the text. If my message of thanks for the zap didn't get to you, well, thank you. I couldn't stop smiling... still haven't worked out how to send zaps myself from wallet of Satoshi! https://m.primal.net/KSws.jpg npub1npng63c34htrjww07r6n86y3jycnhje9zdq956h0k93uljr6c82qgkcs7x RickMace I received your zap!! thank you very much!! I couldn't stop smiling!! but I haven't figured out how to make wallet of Satoshi the wallet I can zap from myself! still trying to figure that out! npub1npng63c34htrjww07r6n86y3jycnhje9zdq956h0k93uljr6c82qgkcs7x RickMace Descartes said, "I think, therefore I am," but maybe he had it wrong. Perhaps it's more like, "I think therefore I am insane." 🤪 I certainly can't speak for others, but given the amount of time I spend in idle thinking, I thought that I'd make my first ever post here on that. Still, and after 55 years of seeing Carlos Castaneda's don Juan's "turning off the internal dialogue" as a goal, I've done that only once. But that 'once' has me hopeful! #TongueInCheek #Mindfulness npub1npng63c34htrjww07r6n86y3jycnhje9zdq956h0k93uljr6c82qgkcs7x RickMace You might like my Castaneda compilation. It's been up over 25 years. the link 'should be on my profile page... hopefully! (I just started learning to use Nostr two hours ago.)

I won't send it to anyone else.
