    Also as we are talking about Alternative Medicine I worth contemplate this point here https://www.instagram.com/p/Dfn2MI6GprF/?vrfl=MWo2YXQ0engxZTVkaQ== The carrousel touch in the problem that we look for Medicine as a fix the problem but not fix the environment where the problem took place. I am living now the very example of what this Instagram post talks about. I was not long ago living in a Vila where there was much more Nature than City. Now in the last month I moved to a Big City and I can say the fumes and the unglyness of the City makes me sick. So is not just a question of eating healty, exercise and anything one can do individuality. That is what is under our control, the rest of the factors and not under our control, appart of moving out from the toxic environment.
  5. @LordFall of course it is slavery, why would you need a high paying job in the first place? Or any job? Why do you need any money? To survive, but animals survive without jobs and money, they live according to nature, they are in a way more free, humans artificially created this world by going against nature, that is also why we are the species most out of touch with nature as there is nothing natural to what has been created in this world by humans. No wonder that if you go against nature, mental health and health and everything else will be fucked up. You could say someone who is retired is most free of this silly survival game, but after having done it for so long, they probably are still very much stuck in it. Why would we make people addicted? 80% of the food ads are toxic foods that destroy your body. This is not by luck that they get addicted, we make people addicted, but you are probably not ready to see this truth yet.
  6. That's a bit of a stretch. Super natural phenomena are not just feelings lol Perhaps not technically correct, but very similar to what you would call a person of low consciousness. I think you might be generalizing. New Age people are not unfamiliar with Consciousness. They are more open though to acknowledging certain phenomena within Consciousness, like energy, healing possibilities, aliens etc. New Age has a lot of woo, sure, but these people are not all childish, as often portrayed here.

    I think this touch in the Topic of Belonging vs Not Belonging. Is a topic that keep coming to me. In one side there is this need that we in our unique way of being can contribute for the good of those around us. But will those around us accept and receive our gifts? Even if we use the best strategies to deliver it in a way that respect their boundaries of accept or not the gifts? Who never felt that the place their were living gave them no space for sharing themselves? So, Belong is tricky. We need it, but we never get it fully. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DWESHv4AImZ/?dlrf=MXl3aW9zYjZtb2xo Found this author who dive into this topic. Full audio book avaliable on YT
  8. Islam is the only Abrahamic Religion that abolishes slavery, while Judaism promotes Slavery and Christianity tolerates Slavery. The Quran is in its entirety about doing good deeds, donating your money to the poor and to the orphans instead of accumulating wealth, and bringing justice and peace upon the world. Even the great Hindu Yogi and Mystic Paramahamsa Yogananda and Swami Sivananda praised the Quran as a lighthouse: https://yoganandasite.wordpress.com/2017/06/05/mohammed-and-islam-yogananda-and-sw-sivananda/ I trust Paramahamsas intellect and his extraordinarily spiritual capabilities including killing himself through conscious meditation much more than some hateful and racist figures online The story of Abdul El-Sayed and Zohran Mamdani was to typical and unsuprising regarding Western Racism and Islamophobia, two politicians that want to bring justice and healthcare to their voters are demonized because of their faith from dusk till dawn, imagine doing that with a christian or jewish politician @Basman Migration can never be a reason or motive to support the mass murder of 25.000 little Children in Palestine. If you come to Germany and watch the debates and listen to the democratically elect politicians, you would like to vomit, they are so keen on destroying those peoples lives its incredible.
  9. There are several layers to it in my mind. First there is the pain response to injury. You can take pain medication and these block the pain pathways directly. Hypnosis can also be effective, maybe even acupuncture. Most pain is there to stop further damage occurring. Secondly there is the placebo effect whereby if you believe that a medication is effective then there will be a positive response to it. In other words your mental state is important. Lastly, there is the actual physical injury. Injuries persist because the body's systems don't regenerate some damaged tissue, although there is a lot of plasticity in the body's systems: you can regrow the tip of a finger for example or recover after a stroke. Placebo and hypnosis are totally mysterious. How does a high level abstract idea of "I don't feel pain" or "this pill is helping me", translate down into the low-level effects on the body? It would seem that the body is somehow goal oriented, the thoughts setting up a kind of template of "I'm well", and the body guides itself towards that outcome. After all the body does naturally heal itself without intervention so it must know what a healthy state is beforehand, otherwise how would it get there?

  10. Sameness vs Difference

    Human Mint replied to Human Mint's topic in Personal Development -- [Main]

    Profound and an interesting practice. I am trying to take it somewhere. I am more drawn to sameness for some reason. A cool example of sameness: A cartoon drawing of yourself; it's cartoon, it's made of paper and ink, but it is the same as you.

    I went and bought sourdough baguette now after walking around hesitating which bread to buy, then it reminded me of you😂
  12. There is an epidemic of infantalising women nowadays too.

  13. Inner Spectra

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

    Growth isn’t always linear. The journey towards becoming your best self is full of plateaus. Learn to embrace them, even when it feels like nothing is changing. Progress is often happening beneath the surface. Then, one day, you find yourself on a new level and realize just how far you’ve come.
  14. Today
  15. The right is a spectrum of political proposals stemming from a subjectivity that identifies more, compared to the average person/collective unconscious, with the phallic position. Hence the fact that on average there are slightly more men than women who vote for right-wing parties. This is what links a nazi and a libertarian even if these people have nothing in common a priori; they want to feel a position of power. The first by dominating the others, the other by retreating.
  16. Last Date experience was with a 19 yr . I Am 45. So I can affirm that there was some people who got triggered, from her side of friends and from mine. From here side I could see some of the older friends trying to sabotage us. From my side the guys were not commenting a lot since they may not say a thing about something they also wish, a young woman. Overall my lesson in this relationship was that age may affect a lot of the dynamics. Of course there was some maturity clash between me and her. But we were able to have deep conversations. Some I dont even ever had with older woman.

  17. Harming your Reputation

    PsychedelicEagle replied to integral's topic in Personal Development -- [Main]

    I believe there is a sweet spot between feeding them (what you think is) the truth and their openness to it. What I mean: Push the whole truth and they'll reject it altogether. It may even make them grab onto their beliefs harder. Do nothing and they won't learn anything. Gauge as much as possible their level of openness and try to help within those constraints. You feed them part of the truth but at least there's a chance they may digest it. So perhaps approach #3 above is best. That should also keep your reputation or at least it won't be as tarnished as with option #1. Curious to hear what you guys think.
  18. You think the peak of life at 18 years old is attending college parties? I guess it depends on which city you live in but when I was living in Toronto nightlife was pretty mixed in ages from 19 to 50(legal drinking age in Ontario is 19.) You would see 19-22 year old women in clubs, dinner parties, yachts, fashion events, etc mingling with women and men in their 30s and 40s. I think some smaller towns and cities operate with this idea that young adulthood is for idk taking shots and doing keg stands and your 30s are when you go to weddings and plan board games with your grown up friend circles but in big cities that's not what I've seen at all personally. Usually it makes many years to get access to upscale events and circles or a lot of money so dating someone younger lets them experience a fun lifestyle that they wouldn't have access to otherwise; it's not really about being the +1 at boring events.
  19. I think you're hinting at some truth but you bastardize the notion of slavery and rob it of all meaning. The whole point of slavery is to monopolize all the value that a human creates through threat of extreme violence. Calling a well paying job that lets you enjoy life on your terms, quit at any time and reinvest your money in whatever you want slavery is insanity and bad epistemology.
  20. This talk will be interesting. I would like this forum to be like Instagram where people could like our comments so we are reminded of the thread we got involved into. If is possible haha give like to this comment so I can come back here.
  21. Are you implying that western nations don't meddle in other country's affairs?
  22. The only one I know is Leo Gura when he talks about wage slavery, life purpose and live advice for young people. All the others I used to watch are grifters: Alex Hormozi, Tonny Robbins, Owen Cook, Tom Bilyeu, etc, etc I recommend books rather than YT: Seth Godin, cal newport

  23. Hierarchy

    Rafael Thundercat replied to Majed's topic in Society, Politics, Government, Environment, Current Events

    Historicaly what was the order of Hierarchy building upon each other. Ex: Today we have class levels. But one may intuit that long in human evolution past there was not Middle Class, Uper Class, there was just levels of Strength,Cleverness, Survival Strategies. Maybe Even Race sergregation was absent since the people were living in their own Geographic areas, maybe some Migration that caused interace encounters leading to fight or maybe collaborations. But i guess racism was not a thing long long ago. My point is, the first form of Domination must be the Hierarchy of Sexes. Males dominion upon Females and kids since they relatively were more Vulnerable ( females maybe can figth too but during pergnancy they are dependent. Of course the level of domination oven women in the pre-Historic times may not get to the point of what we see in the Handmaid Tale Series, but we can see that this gender war is present over the whole human History. Hierarchy being a pyramid is something that must be built. If so, there must be a pattern.
  24. They aren't just arbitrary human inventions, masculine and feminine are fundamental strategies of creation, reproduction, and identity. If you look at God as infinite creative potential, it can generate and express itself through a masculine strategy, a feminine strategy, or a pure existential genesis strategy which is creating directly out of sheer being without needing biological polarity at all. Because it encompasses all of those modes without being confined to any single one, it is inherently non-binary in its expression while still surpassing every definition we try to put on it.
  25. Oh @Leo Gura thanks for giving me hope haha
  26. Hierarchies are awesome, as long as the floor is reasonable. Creations that are of superior quality should be elevated over the more standard ones otherwise we lose so much nuance in life. I really started to notice this when I put more effort into systems that I was building and could both see the people that put even more than me in their systems and they were working much better than mine and those that put less effort than got fewer results or none at all. If there was no hierarchy you could put the next 10 years working daily on a life purpose and building it to be as beautiful as you want and you would get no more results than someone just drugging themselves and drinking for 10 years. That's part of the result that communists unintentionally create through their aim at equality. Equality of opportunity vs equality of outcomes is an important distinction to think about.
  27. You really do a good job of sneaking your anti Muslim, anti Left, Pro Israel agenda in every thread
