  1. Past hour
  2. I was talking with my father's friend, he's an antisemite, but dude is too close minded to learn history. Like he says that the holocaust was only 400 000 jews were killed, and that history is written by the victors... And hitler genocided the jews because they were self serving and corrupting society with prostitution and interest. Here's the thing: this guys is a muslim and since his childhood he was indoctrinated into islam. Therefore his whole sense of identity, emotional system, and life now is wrapped up in it. If he was to learn history properly it would conflate with his religious upbringing and push him to grow beyond the center of gravity of his culture, which would feel like insanity, and losing his mind. Therefore he never had a chance to begin with to know the truth.
  3. Why do people think they need a personal guru? Is it a parasocial thing? Having a personal relationship to even a legit teacher is just a distraction
  4. By category + review + rating ? 😀
  5. The path is forged for you to understand yourself not to be understood. Existence doesn’t need us to function. Ocean waves surge whether humans record them or not.
  6. You should seriously stop. Specially if it’s game meats or cow. I’ve heard a couple cases from fish when those weird tide related diseases are swimming around. prion disease can be dormant and wake up at any time of your life if infected, could be years. And you can definitely pass it on to your children, and same dormant deal for them. Any nerve tissue like brain matter and spinal cord can do the job. Cooking does nothing if you’re wondering. If you remember those wasting syndrome deers a couple years ago? That’s gonna be you (or (grand)kids)
  7. Sounds like your brain is stuck in a threat loop after what happened. A guy laughing once isn’t really a new threat, I get why it still messes with you though after everything that happened before. Try not to go too deep into the thoughts when they show up, it just turns into more scenarios in your head. Also just because you feel scared doesn’t always mean you’re in danger right now, sometimes your body is just reacting to old stuff.

    Be the KISA of every devil. Knight in shining armor. Every sinner needs a saint and every saint arrives a sinner.

  9. Tongue Twisters

    Easy to forget how touchy the ego is. You may have the foundation and framework for understanding consciousness, & the only obstacle to active recognition may simply be an upset mood or 'grasping' desire in the present awareness. This is because ordinary state of consciousness is 'filtered' through ego, leaving awareness susceptible to getting caught up in traps, deceptions, and misunderstandings of Conscious Truth. I assume most of us live from a relatively stable baseline state. The psychedelic can quickly show you that other states of awareness are not only possible, but may have superiority in grasping the Nature of Existence. P.S. You are Existence. Wouldn't you like to know what that is?
  10. If you can stomach/afford the risk, you might as well squeeze as much growth from your bitcoin exposure. Video goes on some different LEAPS configurations, mainly $275 Dec/2028 for MSTR. But you can tweak around to adjust for risk and budget. You can also play around with ASST Strive (baby Strategy). Potentially getting 7x - 10x bitcoin performance which is great by itself.
  11. What romantic animes you like the most?
  12. High quality is how fast and reliably you can drop what you think you know, how you think you perceive (you don't receive a world, you give a world) and who you think you are. It's all borrowed garbage. Meditation is curative.
  13. I would like to add that as Buddha taught we should not even waste time by discussing suffering or evil in relation to a perfect god because what’s the point ? The Buddha dismissed the topic of god completely and erased him from the equation. What matters is there is suffering in this world which everyone must go through one way or another. So Buddhas main concern with how to put an end to this suffering if possible instead of speculating about why would a perfect god make me suffer . And I agree . it is unproductive to spend time debating suffering or evil in relation to god . set the concept of a creator god aside entirely. His central concern was the reality that suffering exists and is an unavoidable part of human life. Instead of engaging in metaphysical debates let’s understand the nature of suffering and more importantly if there is an end that we as humans can put to it .
  14. I know a guy that I would describe him as sociopathic sadistic criminal. He tried to bully me sometimes even showed me a hammer and I and my father called him on the phone and told him that we would go to the police if he bothers me again. He agreed and told us that he would stop bothering me. Some days ago after 6 months from the hammer incindent I saw him and he did a quick ironic laugh. That was enough to trigger a panic attack although I tried not to show it. I doubt I can go to the police or a district attorney and tell them that this criminal laughs ironicaly when I am near him, especially in my country that doesn't bother that much protecting citizens unless it's clear that very bad things have happened. Not only that but this question isn't a legal question, it's about how do I relax, it's like I have PTSD from him and from my past bullying experiences as a teenager. I try meditation but it doesn't seem like great solution in this instance. I am really scared of this criminal, I think about mma moves all the time just in case he tries something. I live in a small town so I am definitely going to see him again some day and although I am planning to move abroad it will take years (I won't move abroad cause of him). We have talked to a police man and told us if he bothers me then I we should go to a district attorney and show them my diagnosis that I have mental problems like autism cause it helps with the situation if he ever tries to do anything. I have 2 appointments in 8 days with my psychologist and my psychiatrist and I am going to tell them, but till then I don't want to bother them. I told my mother and she told me that unless he does something worse then ignore him. How do I relax? How not to let obssesive thoughts and PTSD take over my mind. I understand this forum isn't about talking about these stuff so I understand if this question gets deleted but I hope it doesn't. What to do to cut these obssesive PTSD thoughts, how do i relax? Thanks in advance.
  15. Knowing as being and knowing as linguistic knowledge is an attribute. Not a thing in itself.
  16. Its fine , you are good, no need to apologize.
  17. I do see what you mean about not wanting to create any extra structure or a separate observer. For me, the point of noticing thoughts and feelings isn’t to define what I am, but to train myself to stop automatically taking them as me. I’m not trying to hold onto a position like “this isn’t me,” just to loosen that reflex. In the same way, with fear, it’s not so much about whether it is me or not, but seeing how identifying with it and feeding it seems to keep tension and separation in place. So in my case I’m less interested in defining what’s true at an absolute level, and more in not reinforcing what creates that contraction in the first place.
  18. Today
  19. Sorry, I read your comment too quickly and assumed you were also talking about me. I apologize for my behavior. I was very triggered by someone else as well and was a bit too harsh towards him too. But then I agree with you that the others who talk about a God who can make conscious choices don’t have strong arguments. I would actually say it’s impossible to have strong arguments in that kind of position because there are too many flaws for it to be salvaged.

    Furthermore, I understand this is merely the tip of an iceberg which has no end. It just keep going & going & going... Which places upon my awareness futher duty to attempt to understand.
  21. We come to recognize, how important & deeply profound recognition is. Recognition is pretty much the function of Consciousness itself. Consciousness has the capacities to recognize just about anything, including itself. When you search for consciousness in your direct experience, where is it located? You cant really pinpoint it right? Thats because it is not localized. This may be recognized. In recognition of this you have found the 'location' of consciousness. It is like continuously expanding 'openness'. It is not a form to be grabbed onto. It is only able to be itself. In being of itself is recognition. Nevermind the appearance which the realizations take, to get caught in that is to still be caught up in limited form. You must have the foresight to see beyond all of this. That is how you may reach the deeper levels.
  22. Then what was the issue with what I said? The "trash" response was a criticism to people who were writing their comments in the context of an agential God. Then we literally agree, because I take it that that phrase is almost entirely useless and vacous in the context of a non-agential God.
  23. Low quality teaching, same people who yap and yap and then the moment shit gets real in life, which it occasionally will, they crumble and scurry off to the mountains or regress into Christianity after awakening. You go much further in spirituality when you prioritize wisdom/maturity, sensitivity and humbleness to shape your teachings. I’m waiting for this joker to live with some integrity and fuck a traumatized big fat hairy dude to heal him.

    @Spiral Fixed it for you
  25. I never said I accept the premise of an agential God. My point was more about the usefulness of moral labels like ‘all-good’ in general.

  27. @emil1234 This game is Tricky. It may appear as one, or it may appear as two sides of the same coin. Real tricky this game. Ultimately, it is identical, but it is a matter of approach via conscious awareness as to how it is presented. You may have one, at a specific time, and another on an alternative occasion. To have one is to have the other. Only a matter of recognition in unified awareness. Upon full integration, they are completely and utterly identical. Until they have merged entirely, there is still relativity as disruptive occurance having its way with the awareness's ability to unify. Make any sense at all?
