    I think it hurts to watch other people suffer. Telling people about alternative medicine isn't a bad thing. The most woo thing I've heard. "The way I healed my broken back was through samadhi, emptiness, not-self, faith, and holding space in the tissues so they would fill with qi and regenerate" Difficult to tell medical doctors that's possible when most of their lived experience says that's not possible. It's also true that somethings are beyond the control of masters. Illness does come up and affects everyone. ---- I test the waters. If people are open and receptive then great. If not, no worries. It is hard though. If not, I choose my moments. I notice I have to deliberately distance myself emotionally from people who are suffering and can't help themselves, or despair. There is a level of persuasion that could be necessary. DnD style. Persuasion and Charisma checks. If the character traits arent there it can be difficult to entice people to your way of thinking.

    Lol, i thought people here were open minded. But i guess you aren't one of them. I have had sleep paralysis before multiple times, and OBE's and Being awake, i can distinguish one from the other.
  6. There is no higher source or higher self. These concepts are made up human stories. The relative self is the totality. It's already absolute prior to recognizing it. It's not actually real, but it seemingly starts in the body around the age of 3 or 4 yrs old. Consciousness is just the bodily senses coupled with conditioned imagination. When the physical body dies, the illusion of consciousness ends simultaneously.
  7. There are also men that get verbally and emotionally abused by women for years. And it retaliates years later as violence. My mom got angry at me when I told her how my father would hold me down and beat me. And guilt tripped me. And this was after a decade of trying to teach her about god with her corrupted Christian mind Women can be just as mean as men
  8. Trump is literally an ape bathing in his own shit
  9. The fact that this system has the collective power to put that absolute bafoon in the highest position of political power amazes me to this day And that there were ZERO guard rails in place in the election process for even axeing him as a candidate. Has shown me how corrupt the US Government is.
  10. I didn't mean he's only clever with words and there's nothing more to him. As per my perception, him being clever with words is just a drop of his infinite genius and intelligence. So yea, we disagree as usual.
  11. I tried to teach my family that they were God watering the teaching down to their own needs for half a decade. And got a fraction of the love Brands wife is giving him. I hope she and her family gets through this
  12. Im siding with Leo 10 years is Crazy. He's also a high profile target in prison, so its not like he can just keep his head down and no one notices. He has a red X above his head at all time.
  13. Today
  14. I knew that his congratulating of the Democrats would be too good to be true.
  15. Same tbf. People I knew back in the day went down for much less time for far worse crimes. I doubt he'll serve a full sentence, but it will still be longer than what's reasonable.
  16. Nah, sorry, but I still feel bad for him. 10 years is a crazy long time.
  17. @Cubbage Yeah, that's exactly what I imagined. Haha When a conspiracy theorist turns out to be a pervert, conspiracy theortists turn it into a conspiracy. Like monkeys. The default assumption should be that conspiracy peddlers are perverts.
  18. His supporters on social media certainly think so haha saw a post on Facebook from this person I know: "brand has been targeted as he exposes truths and challenges the norm so they've dug up really old sexual stuff on brand and will have offered a ton of money for a couple of women to come forward about sex & consent. I don't condone rape obviously, I just smell something fishy about this whole case. The media back at there tricks to distract the population from whats really going on, flooding our feeds with all this about brand but yet all the people mentioned on epstien files still walk free! Crimes can be avoided when you've got so much money to pay people off, world is truly fucked" lol
  19. Let him throw poo all over himself. He is cooked. Too late for his games.
  20. As I told you guys, study the history of intelligence agencies.
  21. The Soviets under communism may have synced with imperialism due to ideology but the present state of poor conditions and national ideology does not allow russian imperialistic pursuits. Also the world is aware of the western leaders completely dismissing verbal promises made to Gorbachev and Yeltsin, and this is why there is much official and clandestine support for Russia from other countries, hoping that the russians would keep the warmongering west with a history of imperialism in its place. By reneging on its promises and expansion of Nato to the very borders of nuclear-armed Russia, and thereby provoking war, the western leadership has cut a sorry unethical figure in the rest of the world. Nato countries only constitute 12 % of humanity , and there are also many protests in nato countries over the war in ukraine. BRICS countries itself constitute over 50 % of humanity and is backing russia as well, and so the russians can fight for a long period of time without any issues. Hence I would say unregulated nato expansion has made many military-industrial complex capitalists rich and happy, but it has also unnecessarily disturbed the geopolitical environment in europe , which had only a small time period of peace after the two devastating world wars. Europe is the fastest warming continent on earth due to global warming, which is creating weather disturbances like heat waves killing thousands of europeans in recent times, compounded by the many thousands dying of hypothermia as well during the cold winter periods. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2026/oct/23/heat-killed-staggering-50000-people-european-cities-this-summer-experts https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/aug/12/europe-worlds-fastest-warming-continent-climate-crisis-explainer https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/cold-weather-deaths-england-ukhsa-b3071388.html So obviously, europe's greatest concern should not be Russia (suffering from poverty, decreasing/ageing population due to low fertility levels and ageing infrastructure), but its own weather conditions which are killing thousands of europeans every year. Russia having 20 % of the world's forests also ranks first in the world in terms of carbon sink removing around 1150 million tonnes of co2 from the world's atmosphere. Damage to russian forests in war would have heavy repurcussions in european climate issues as well. The western military industrial complex capitalists are immune to changing weather conditions due to the excellent housing conditions they live in, but this is not the case for the western middle and lower classes and growing body of homeless who have to beat the heat and cold with a lot of good luck and nothing else other than that.
  22. If it’s very serious, then yes I agree. But again, such situations are so rare. It’s not worth spending mental time worrying about such things. If on the off chance it happens to you, just use your best judgment and deal with it then.

  23. Matt Artisan got KNEED during a set

    Are you a woman? It is a simple analogy for concept comparison. Not a one-to-one point equivalency in raw power. I am drawing attention to how we weigh risk and hazards and determine threat levels as a concept. I am not drawing any moral conclusions. Man or woman - violence is wrong on both ends. But we live in reality. Men are stronger than women in raw power.
  24. It should be mandatory to release an actualized motivational video once a year.

    The way I see it, if someone gets kneed by a woman he should at least press charges. That’s not being petty, it’s not escalating, it’s not being insecure and butthurt, it’s bringing justice to a violent attacker. Yall do realize that getting kneed is infinitely worse and more serious than getting slapped, right? This mindset most guys have of “Never hit a woman unless she’s literally trying to kill you” is exactly what the more toxic ones out there are weaponizing against us knowing we won’t do shit about it. Broken nose? Black eye? Varicocele of the left nut? Who cares? Men need to just man up and take it. Even self defense aside, are we just not even reporting it to the authorities or anything? What are we thinking here guys. If someone does an unacceptable action and faces no consequences for it, or a slap on the wrist at most, does that usually stop the behavior or do they take it as a free pass to continue doing it?
  26. I want to say to him "You know what? maybe you're right this "election" not being honest. If it wasn't for the cheating that you and party did over the past 2 years including you and your party's widespread disenfranchisement and denial of voting rights, widespread gerrymandering, illegally throwing away hundreds of ballots, etc. then the Democrats would've won by A LOT MORE!"
  27. This one case got me questioning society a lot: One affair, although yes mixed with a potential national security threat, can lead to such massive cascading global consequences .. I think the dig into whether it is a national security threat is fair. But sometimes I see that it can bring out the worst in humanity, to take a pop culture sort of gossipy approach to them. I can't imagine how much humiliation, and invasive attention his wife and kids will now get. People can turn into bullies, combined with moral outrage, and these social media algorithms just seem to fuel moral outrage and incentivizing "being virtuous" towards condeming bad actions.
