  1. Past hour
  2. Possibly not, but at least close https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ohio_Gang President Harding But beyond corruption(wasn't considered corrupt for kings), depending how far back you want to consider, there's been much more evil leaders in history.
  3. Most spiritual teachers in modernity have been somewhat corrupt: Osho, Chögyam Trungpa, Gurdjieff. Even Sri Aurobindo had a weird fetish for his body surviving after death… You also have the Aleister Crowley and Kenneth Grant variety of occultist who embraces corruption and evil as a path to awakening, reminiscent of freemasonic organisations like the Skull and Bones Society which many of these political perverts are known to be a part of.
  4. "It is extraordinarily rare to reach the highest states of consciousness — whether as stable baseline realizations or as insane peak states — unless one possesses exceptional, perhaps extreme, innate endowment" I question this. I don't see any criteria, any evidence, any arguments. You just say it's like this, but you present NO, ZERO indicator in how to measure this "genetic endowment". Do you have a machine at home where you put people into, then the machine spits out "person A has 6538.86 points of endowment, and person N has only 3492.54?" Even assuming that you have this machine, how does it work? And how can you know that this endowment is constant and not able to change? Everything is connected, interrelated, all is one consciousness and still you say there's an individual component in an individual that fixates the seemingly most interrelated thing that exists, consciousness itself? All is see is just a lot of speculation.
  5. In this way, Trump - as an avatar of the Anti-Christ - has been sent by God to destroy the false idol of Christ so that we can realise our true nature as absolute nothingness. “Go ahead! Achieve all your goals! Break all the dams! Faster! You are unbound. Go ahead and fly with faster wings, with an ever greater pride for your achievements, with your conquests, with your empires, with your democracies! The pit must be filled; there is a need for fertiliser for the new tree that will grow out of your collapse.” It is nowadays. Maybe it used to be otherwise… Not on anything like the same level of corruption.
  6. I think it is our fault for taking them to be saints or masters and expecting nothing but perfection from them. The reality is, they are teachers who have very important things to teach, and have changed lives. They are also human, and like every human they have their flaws. We shouldn't go to the extreme of just throwing all of their work out of the window just for some personal weaknesses they have. Remember that without them, many of us would be worse off. The reason they have gained all the respect they have is because of all the good they did. Let's keep that in mind when we hear these allegations.

    okay i can't keep up anymore:)
  8. It's simply if you find one or two things of the same kind, you could expect to find more. You won't necessarily find more, but the existence of those things "could indicate" more such things exist. Alternatively, finding true vision without physical sense organs could indicate that the design is itself a result of planning (that God did not evolve vision spontaneously, step by step, bottom-up, but simply made it such top-down, through will and imagination).

  10. "intimacy"

    Judy2 replied to Judy2's topic in Self-Actualization Journals

    ... maybe sometimes i'm a little too honest. i'm trying to be kind to myself today, though. every now and then, when i'm relaxed, i manage to remember to love myself. i'm trying to do more of that. trust, relax, have faith. and it can't hurt to be a little more aware of my body, my thoughts, emotions, sensations, whenever i have a minute. maybe it's as simple as strengthening this muscle whenever i can. i'll be okay.
  11. Crazy work.
  12. Today
  13. It's a matter of will. If the will is absolute, the obstacles fall away. Will of absolute freedom, absolute truth, absolute openess. The question would be: is your will enough to leave everything? Even god, permanence, consciousness? It's enough to open yourself to real death without greed? If the question is really yes, you are honest enough to cross the border. But if you are looking for something divine, wonderful, better, then you will get delusions. Many are called, but few are chosen. If even a trace of greed exists, that trace will be an insurmountable barrier. It will lead you down paths of madness where you will wander in circles, in mystic circles believing delusions. The heart must be open, the mind be integral. If not, the door will be armored.
  14. @Oppositionless which yoga do you do most?
  15. @VeganAwake such a nice message, thank you! I feel a bit stuck because of my family situation, I would love to have so much money to support my parents, and bring my dad back from his brain injury… I feel stuck because there’s no one close to me who can actually help or even support me in becoming self employed, and ever time I talk about being financially free they laugh

    Very good. Basically, we have understanding of yin and yang, first four vs. fifth material element, heaven and earth, root and chrown chakra: - Matter is the one coming from past, learning from cause and effect and acting on trial and error. Materially, we seek for possibilities, respond to triggers and events. - It's locally scoped: material events are nearby and measureable. - First-order logic, four operations and essential math: where results are rather made of direct conclusions, such as not true is false (if it's not so, it's so not - tautology). First-order in general means: material in mind. More or less, logic you derive is based on rules. Spiritual is the other aspect: - Spirit is the one which drives to the future; learning from fantasy, contemplation, theory, and intuition or instinct. - It's the evolution product, not evolution itself: whatever the base, material laws, the result follows from mysterious "goal" or "desire", we do not know what meets our ends - but when it arrives, it's strong. Spiritually, you are kind of in one problem, but you resolve to solution which was not initially set up, nor a direct result; for example a new prime number might not follow from your prime numbers, but you decide to survive and prosper with each new prime number you found. - In mind, logic, math: it's the higher-order theory. For example, the claim that evolution, naturally, leads to success is spiritual claim: because the theory is not speaking of material substances, but higher order which brings success, whatever it is; materially, you do not know what is success - once it's found, it's stabilizes. - This way, spiritually, miracles appear: I do not like to constitute in gold ruch scenarios of miracles, rather I want to sound mundane and boring in this; materially - life to evolve, almost zero probability because by initial rules, why should matter build life, and this problem is known for long and very active in current science; spiritually, we follow higher level theory and conclude, that whatever is better, will come, it's *attractor from future*, a new thing. Materialist theory never knows a new thing comes from future, because it's using short-term, low-level theory of *local scope*, and there are no discrete rules for life to evolve; spiritual, high-order thinking *expects* positive mutations and transcend, saying that *whatever it is, it will come* - as life is higher order of matter, achievement and purpose, from high-level theory it states that all systems optimize to better states, not worse; while materially it's a paradox that as "better" in this sense is not originally defined, not present in original model, it cannot be material implication. Spiritually, the very random and different material forces are *attracted* to better outcomes: once it's more efficient, it survives, and random change will bring the trials - this randomization, obviously, is not materialism. Life is miracle, because this kind of spiritual cause will reach matter - once it touches it, matter is changed; each long-term optimization creates "miracles", because at some point, material world will accept the "better" thing, without having the initial rule or program, where it's explicitly defined, and replace it's defined goals with the ones, which appeared out of nowhere, or "air and love" - the long term and synchronous development. - Spiritual person can fail, because they talk of this evolution, but do not understand it's also natural in material laws.
  17. Not tracking your inference. Lets say that mental and perceptual faculties exist before the events proposed necessary by naturalism. If that is true, would that fact be expected more under the hypothesis H1 where God does have a personhood over hypothesis H2 where God does not have a personhood? Because if the answer is no , then I dont understand what you meant in your last sentence when you said "could indicate".

  18. Lesson in mating.

    For me it is abusing the sacred. Sex used well can elevate and evolve one deeply. That's its purpose. https://ia903105.us.archive.org/18/items/alloshobooks39883p/Osho a.k.a. Rajneesh (312 Books)/From Sex to Superconsciousness.pdf
  19. But we have taste of one: - Spiritual can be seen as complex aspect of material. - Material can be seen as simple, "dead" perspecive of it - yet containing the logic and constraints. As long as you struggle in separation, both ways lead to loss - material person who is not spiritual starts to ask your spiritual products as soon as they materialize, explaining their abstract essence of hard-working nature; whereas spiritual person tells you stories, nice societies, but not the actual real math and material process - we need to ethically enjoy together, but it's absolutely impossible without hard material work and clear understanding of causes and effects. "Fundamental": - In my texts, I say material is "absolute" and spiritual is "fundamental" - In more general sense of how this word is used without opposition or contextual binary pair: material aspect is direct measurement of the same thing, which is measured by spirituality but not directly, but considering the causes and effects of higher models; for example eating is spiritual activity, because you are spiritual being, but the food is going through synchronous material process. In physics, directly, such thing as "eating" does not exist - a describable, fundamental material process; rather "eating a potatoe in 20 degree celsius" approaches something physical; but physically potatoe, banana and sugar are not the same thing and resulting material reactions are different. - Spiritually, you can understand "life" as high level, "energy" which is not physical energy of materialist - growing tissues are not so clearly or much more charged than ion battery, which kind of "eats more" -; materialist skeptic has said "human energy consists of heat, charged particles, gravity etc." - if you measure this by food, you cannot say eating definitely makes you considerably weightier, and definitely *adds* charges, heat etc. in your body; sometimes you cool down with this new energy - physically, the opposite. So talking materially about eating, without existing high-level framework, is nonsense - pure materialist says it's nonsense you earn energy this way; - Materially, you get most energy if volcanoe is exploding in your area and the lava is coming to your house - your physical properties, and yourself, have a lot of heat; materialists actually measured spiritual people, sensitives: they said human energy is measured in heat, light intensity, electric signals, where food and poisons are equal and death in lava is like an energy dream. In my spiritual logecs, "good" and "bad" appear as values and energy in considered life-keeping, sustaining force (the one which was unsolvable paradox to materialist): - Materialist, in sense, fails to explain themselves - for example, why they move towards food and not towards vulcanoes and highly charged particles, or whether they make any sense at all. - Spiritualists, similarly, are very funny in this: while evolution, from spiritual view, is sensible and energetically active process, the "meaning" of developments were said to deny evolution; we should not deny mathematical fact just because world makes sense - materially, really, the past is interacting. Cause and Effect: religious people sometimes say these are new causes and do not count in the world: - Cause and Effect law is known as yin, earth, material. Explicitly, this is the cause of holy spirit in christianity / equiv. freya shakti or mother nature; and by associated root chakra: root chakra is based on the past, building on experience, and spiritual law of cause and effect. - Goal/intent and resolution: while funny, bunkable kind of materialists are telling those do not exist in matter, they fail instantly if they think your internal cognition is matter in this sense, or the process how evolution converges to ideal or better results is material. If material world does not contain goals and intents, the *internal view* of yourself *is not material*, but much more material process is evolving to this spirit, and carrier of this. While some laws, like quantum supersets, can be seen as neglecting the future - physics has no problem with this; the material substance in any realm is still responding and not initiating, it's yang, heaven, spiritual. Normally, we say spirit is our cognitive aspect of how we see ourselves, our future, intents and goals; definitely - not material. But it's built from matter and in this sense, while materialist can be wrong as shit, telling you you are off-roots if you do not count your molecules and numbers in your body: a spiritual person cannot do anything without managing the *real world complexities*, because *ideals* are nice, but they are not machines: you do them one day, miraculous feeling in responding world, but you need to conquer obstacles: you need to study from experience and not fail with bad, logical, past-based consequence.
  20. PUA was not the generational solution to dating, we just dated normally, we dated people we met socially, our friends set us up with people. I'm a younger millennial and had to just now look up what RSD stands for. PUA was considered to be for losers.
  22. Pickup and looksmaxxing are like fashion trends. Skinny jeans, baggy jeans, quiet luxury, streetwear etc. each of these trends have elements that work. But the people who dive headfirst into every new wave and build their entire identity around it don't usually look stylish or cool, they just look like tryhards. The same thing happens in dating. There are useful ideas in trends like pickup and looksmaxxing, but the people who make these frameworks their whole personality usually come off as forced, tryhard, and honestly just a bit soulless and hollow. Women are attracted to men who are comfortable with expressing who they are, who have a palpable coolness/vibe, and who don't really give a fuck what other people think about said vibe.

  23. Finished the LP course

    Men that was pretty brutal. I wanted to do something, but I was missing all the tools for it. Giving a handshake for a goodbye would have been one thing to do.
  24. Yes life should better until the day you die. Keys in no particular order are MEDS - meditation exercise diet sleep. Improvement doesn't matter. Just show up and put in the time. Other people are fine just don't let them dilute you.
  25. It is always like this in all self-improvement communities, no matter physical or online. It is not like in sports where most pro players have an idea of Of what they are doing. In self-improvement you can get out with spinning shit up because there are no real consequences for it. You don't need more than 18 years old and 10 hybernating neurons to come here and just attack people who really do stuff and dare to stick out and be vulnerable by saying uncomfortable stuff. Maybe I did a bit too much of that in this thread. Sorry OP 🤙🙏. We should be more understanding. We are now in a femininity bias culture, anything that smells like exceptionality and straight forward truths is penalised with mob justice. It is like: be vulnerable but not in toxic ways that we don't like.
  26. Stop comparing and stop complaining. Everyone is on their way home. When it is, is up to you. Stop looking at others except as a means of getting home. Just a heads up that if you exclude one person even an Epstein you will remain here spinning your wheels. Love don't compare. We are the same.
  27. I consider the Christian church to be the church of Satan, anyway. We've had many terrible 'leaders' like Trump before.
