  6. Upasana Journal

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

    7 days into the gut meditation and I have had my first experience. The way I do this is by sitting under a cold shower, cross legged (one shin over the other), and doing the Prithvi Mudra. It was building up to this over the past week and finally had that release today. Essentially my awareness finally shifted from my head to my gut and suddenly the entire world was enveloped within my gut. It was as if the world was in a cosmic womb. Which suddenly reminded me of the concept of 'Hiranyagarbha'. I looked it up later and found out that it is closely related to the creator god 'Brahma'. The whole point of this meditation was to stimulate my 'Brahma' Granthi. I think it worked quite well. My midsection and below felt as light as a feather. As if a source of pure light and energy had opened for a second within my gut already overloading it with energy. It was amazing. Another big insight I had during this was that the world is essentially like being underground where each and every thing is connected to each other like roots branching out in the dirt. Very interesting indeed. I am gonna continue on. This is likely a very early stage of whatever I am hitting at. Now I don't know whether to call it placebo or something else, but whenever I am stuck in my meditation I can call out to the deity I worship and I get an instant boost in concentration power. In fact sometimes it even helps me skip the initial stages altogether when starting my meditation.
  7. According to you anyway. Children are born into the world completely helpless and ignorant. If your premise is they have a bunch of stuff placed upon them before they know any better than telling them from birth that they are a boy named John is more than an apt comparison. They dont have their own sense of identity yet before you gave them one. Whataboutism aside, the first response to your inquiry pretty much answered your question. Its not the church or religion that's bad (although it certainly can be), its what is actually being imparted through that structure.
  8. Fascinating indeed. It could be true that they were Shakespeare’s. In the early 2000s and again in 2015, researchers found cannabis traces on 400-year-old clay pipes excavated from William Shakespeare’s garden in Stratford-upon-Avon. Cometh along, dear sir, and taketh a hit from thine bong.
  9. Bruh, don’t date insane girls
  10. That comparison doesn’t really hold up. Giving a child a name or identifying them as a boy or girl is about basic social functioning and communication. It doesn’t require the child to adopt a complex belief system or accept claims about reality.

  11. Whats the textures and shapes of DMT

    @kavaris at low doses everything looks like each other, at heavy doses every substance reveals it's true character and unique essence.
  12. Beliefs can be harmful. We are talking about blind faith.
  13. Is giving them a name and telling them they are a boy or girl child abuse?
  14. Deepends on how healthy the social structur of the church is, not on what they believe there.
  15. Lead by example is my stance - and do that without doing it - wu wei. The journey can only be undertaken by the individual. During that journey you may run into at least one individual who is on a similar journey as you who you can compare notes with. I can almost guarantee that person is not going to tell you what author's books to buy. That's not to say those things (books, manuals, teachers, gurus) are totally worthless but again, it comes down to the individual.
  16. Today
  17. Serious question. Kids don’t choose it. They don’t understand it. They can’t question it. But they’re still brought into a belief system before they even have the ability to think for themselves. If this was any other kind of belief, people would probably have a problem with it. But when it’s religion, it gets called tradition or how you raise your kids. So where’s the line? Is it guidance or shaping someone’s worldview before they’ve had a real choice? Not saying religion is right or wrong. Just asking If a kid can’t say no is it really a choice?
  18. Member Jean-Claude-van-Damme in universal soldier? Member?
  19. Exactly! 👍
  20. OK, thanks for sharing.
  21. @Willy Phallicus For me personally, I’d be totally embarrassed selling water by a river. Or trying to coach people a life I think they should follow. It’s arrogant for anyone to think they know what’s best for someone else, especially to tell someone else they’re not enlightened yet, just because someone else is following a certain guru that doesn’t measure up to their own personal standard. I personally enjoy self inquiry and then writing about what I’ve discovered to forums. It’s entertaining for me. I certainly wouldn’t dream of making my own personal self inquiry findings into a money making business.
  22. Knowledge is there without the knower, don't claim.
  23. Experience is deceptive because it implies duality: the experiencer and the object of experience, what appears. The word "experience" refers to that, however you look at it. Therefore, if you say that experience is absolute, you are saying that something inherently relative is absolute. You should first say that experience is the fact of being appearing in an apparently dualistic way, and that if you collapse that apparent duality, what remains is the fact of being, which is absolute and doesn't necessarily have to appear as experience. This point is essential because if you don't understand it, you will believe that reality is consciousness and you will be trapped in a duality that you will call non-duality. Experience is the reality being conscious of itself, not the reality. The reality is absolute and it's beyond consciousness.
  24. I'm sure my contributions to this thread could be construed as such but I want to make it clear that's not the case. Empathy has its uses but you can't save everyone with it and there are indeed things that don't need, want or deserve saving.

  25. Novel Recommendations

    Basman replied to Erol's topic in Personal Development -- [Main]

    Go read self-help instead.
  26. The system we currently find ourselves in needs to be abolished completely but I highly doubt the farmers are going to give up their farm. Its a no win situation.
  27. @Hardkill I am not talking about Stalin and other tyrants that disguised themselves as Communists. I am talking about the present politicians in the American Congress, German, English, Italian Parliament and so many other european countries that boast themselves constantly as a superior civilization with human rights and democracy but are in their essence absolute hypocrites. The majority of Democratic Congressman in the USA are corrupt and purchased by AIPAC, the money they receive from them makes them forget about the atrocities in Palestine. The same counts for these european so called "First World Countries". There is not a single sanction in place against Israel, of course if I was a tyrant like Netanyahu who has already licked so much blood and I get a blank check from the entire "First World" I would do the same, I would just keep killing and massacring because I have the third year in row the full support of these hypocritical bastards from the USA and Europe. I would have a great time bombarding civilians and giving permission to my soldiers to eradicate Palestinian Children because the stupid Europeans and Americans who never miss a moment to emphasize how superior and developed they are compared to Third Wolrd Countries, support me entirely. Its the greatest hypocrisy, and there is no left or right word games that can justifiy this tragedy. You are stuck within this outdated and Left-Right Paradigm. Dan Bilzerian talks exactly about this kind of corruption and hypocrisy, that how can the USA have billions of dollars to massacre and torture innocent children in Palestine and Lebanon, while people in the USA are homeless and drug addicted? And in that case his position is absolutely superior to any of those criminal Democrat Congressmen and to the entire criminal parliament of Germany, UK and other complicit European Countries.
