  2. @Salvijus It's stated very well in your signature. I can't improve on that.

  3. Is Conscious Selling Possible?

    Sugarcoat replied to SimpleGuy's topic in Personal Development -- [Main]

    I don’t think it’s unethical but I just have a hard time believing someone can feel genuinely good doing it.
  4. Nope I'm not him, gotta say tho Nahms way of thievery was original, maybe he can chime in on this topic as well😆
  5. Some people seem to use the term "the ego" in a sense of a veiling of what is True which has a corruptive quality. Like the cliche of no separate self with the neo-advaita people who see that separate self as not only an illusion but the source of suffering. So it's a false self. It's a false i.
  6. @Human Mint Hey, I’ve done psychedelics, and I understand the sense of love and the feeling that “I chose this life.” But to me, that feels more like a state of consciousness than what everyday human reality is actually like. Day-to-day life feels biological, heavy, gravity-bound, socially restrictive. The highs can be lucid, dreamlike, expansive — but they aren’t the baseline. I struggle with the idea that suffering, pain, or contrast are somehow required to evolve a spirit. I wish the world leaned more toward love, but I don’t normally feel that love embodied here. I recently quit weed after a long time, I’m finally employed (though with inconsistent shifts), and I’ve moved into a better living environment. Still, I’m hesitant to return to psychedelics right now, because they don’t solve the practical realities — finances, the economy, sexuality, or the discomfort of becoming too aware of how toxic I can feel while sober. Past living situations were unstable, and I haven’t really had the safety or comfort needed to explore these substances properly. I would like to, eventually. What makes you believe that existence is fundamentally love? And what kind of love do you mean — the NDE-style love that’s interconnected, whole, luminous, and peaceful? Or a love that still contains sadness — the kind where being “God” includes a recognised divine loneliness? I’ve had deep insights where I experienced myself as everyone beyond this physical form. A few years ago, while tripping, I intensely questioned: What is life? Who am I? Is this human form all there is? I passed through what felt like annihilation of self — essentially death — and on the other side encountered a strange realm where I realised I am everything. There was love there, but also a profound sadness and loneliness. It felt as though this life is a dream, and that I am eternal. That experience felt different from NDE accounts, which often describe love as purely interconnected, peaceful, and complete. What I encountered felt more complex — loving, yes, but also lonely with love contrasting to a profound sadness, similar to the half smiling face and the half glum face they use in theatre 🎭
  7. This was shared a few years back, still blows me away <3 @Natasha Tori Maru You did the right thing by following your nature.
  8. Neither do I really, we just are, that's all we truly know, that I AM.
  9. Oh no! @Princess Arabia
  10. Yes. But, actually, thoughts or thoughtless, mind chattering or empty mind are all concepts, belief. Mind thinks, body moves. That's all.

  12. Are incredible men just average women?

    NewKidOnTheBlock replied to enchanted's topic in Dating, Sexuality, Relationships, Family

    @Lila9 Miss, this is Wendy's. Have you placed your order yet?
  13. Ultimately you can only help yourself. You can access and generate more Love in this life, for yourself, and that would be a very wise approach to solve depression. "Reality is Love" is a very radical thing and you should not take it lightly.
  14. I just don't know. I don't know what sense people are using the term it has so many definitions.

  15. Anyone on an antipsychotic?

    Schizophonia replied to Ponder's topic in Health, Fitness, Nutrition, Supplements

    They (benzodiazepines/Z drugs ?)quiet the mind but aren’t efficient to make a psychotic people efficient; even the opposite because high doses of then will quickly make you very tired and potentialy high, even more delusional. Like alcohol.
  16. It depends on how you are asking it. I could say a "distortion" of consciousness, or I could say an activity of mind. It depends.
  17. @Joseph Maynor how did you get your restrictions lifted?

  18. Is Conscious Selling Possible?

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

    Sure there is, but your boss will kick you out!

    Plot twist : You do escorting to pay your studies
  20. @Yeah Yeah would you be willing to use psychedelics as a tool to crack your own psyche? If done correctly it can help you see through your depression, if not it could amplify your suffering. But if you have nothing else to lose then it is reasonable to give them a try. Just think it for yourself, this might be a very bad idea for you if you're not in the right mind. But again, if you have nothing to lose... My opinion is that you'll outgrow this stage, definitely.
  21. I think it would be good for people to make a video about what to do when: What you think was your life purpose has failed. Some catastrophe has happened in your life like a major breakup, running out of money, being fired from your job, a loved one dies (especially a younger one). Life loses meaning. Your peers, neighbors, coworkers, friends don't understand you anymore. When dark night of the soul experience happens in your life and how to maintain the purpose you want or a purpose. Why and how not to make harsh, momentary, decisions that can cost you this life. How to integrate contradicting views and ideas, abuse by other people so that you can maintain and continue your growth. How to live a conscious life in unconscious world.
  22. Linux is something else, I use it, it can be a headache at times, but its also nice, like your in a safe-mode style windows, feels more organic and flows better for me, even though i still have no idea how to use terminal properly. I'm leading towards one of those new M series macbooks though.
  23. What is the ego?

  24. Is Conscious Selling Possible?

    Sugarcoat replied to SimpleGuy's topic in Personal Development -- [Main]

    I think in life, if you find yourself in a desperate situation economically, for example you’re a student who applies to jobs but you get none except sales or something that you feel isn’t truly aligned with your values, then it’s okay to take such a job and understand that it’s a part of your path to something greater, it’s not your ultimate destination. For example I’ve worked at fast food restaurant, I don’t think it’s particularly unethical because it’s a personal choice to consume such food, but it still isn’t something I’d wanna work with long term because I find it doesn’t provide any value in society. Sales has a similarity, sure most of it isn’t high conscious but it still is a personal choice to buy the stuff, even if they’re being manipulated. As I said you can see it as temporary stepping stone towards something greater in your path. I think it’s possible to do conscious sales, but then it requires that the product/service you’re selling is high conscious (let’s say something like a good supplement). And also that the method you’re using to sell is authentic, and that is something you can notice if you’re doing yourself, in particular if you’re not personally attached to making sales so you’re less likely to be deceived by your own bias. Also another factor is in the production process of the product. A product can be “high conscious” and of genuine value but be produced in a way that harms the planet and exploits poor people. So then I cannot rank it as much high conscious anymore. So it’s different factor. Bottom line i think it’s okay to play into the system to a degree as long as you are working towards something higher conscious long term (if that’s your inclination, it’s ok to be normie too)
  25. Illuminated / exposed / transformed ?
  26. What would the ego not hiding from itself be?
  27. I've actually met these types of people, of course its a little exaggerated but it was hilarious to watch.
