  1. Past hour

  2. The ancient warrior

    Sure, that about wars is just a delirium, they were pacifist and feminist. Maybe there was one or two little wars in history, but were just fair struggling against the capitalism. In general all was peaceful, like the Celtics or samurai.
  3. @Breakingthewall It looks like a René Guenon or Evola's delirium. In reality people are busy surviving and interacting with their families or friends Including in nomadic tribes, even though they have their own spirituality.

  4. Uhh, I really suck at flirting

    Simply use the other person for pleasure; imagine people, especially women, as objects to touch/manipulate, to play with, as long as you're not breaking the law; so from now on what the other person thinks doesn't matter, take what you want to take and if the other person doesn't want to, go somewhere else. For socio-historical-patriarchal-whatever reasons, men have less self-love than women and tend to act in a more ego-driven/neurotic way, in other words masochistic way; so you might tell yourself, "Oh, that went well, but she friend-zoned me!" but in reality, you're the one pretending the relationship was more significant than it actually was. People here are a bit misogynistic and claims that women are "illogical" are actually masochistic people, and it's fortunate that women are less receptive to this mindset; it serves as a safety valve.
  5. Then why you can't fly for example?
  6. It was just a joke for god's sake. But it did mention something about the only way you could get lucky was in a graveyard.
  7. @cetusthats because your mom doesnt count
  8. @Something Funny I did a quick Tarot reading for you on romance and it said 0 lays.

    Good tip, thanks
  10. @zazen I get your point about different power centers checking each other, and I agree with that in principle. Same with the idea of a multipolar world, being that balance is better than domination. But from where I stand, there’s no question which bloc I’d rather live under. I’ll take the system that gives me choices: what to buy, what to believe, how to live. Freedom isn’t perfect, but I’d rather deal with its flaws than live under a system that doesn’t allow it at all. The problem with your version of multipolarity is that it seems to rely on states like China, Russia, Iran, or North Korea as the ones checking the West. But those are authoritarian regimes that crush dissent and strip people of basic freedoms. If we’re talking about real alternatives, I’d rather see countries like India play that role, since at least there’s pluralism and democracy in the mix. And yes, money and resources have always shaped geopolitics. That’s not unique to the West, and it’s not new. Russia and China are more imperialistic than the west is nowadays, and pretending otherwise is just bias. The difference is that in the West, corruption and abuse can still be challenged, for example by citizens, media, courts, civil society at large. Not perfectly, but the mechanisms exist. In authoritarian systems, they don’t. So sure, multipolarity sounds good. But the real question is: which poles do you actually want shaping the world? For me, I’ll take the imperfect freedoms of the West over the "stability" of authoritarianism any day. There was once a multipolar world made up purely of feudalistic and later absolutist monarchies. That world existed for a long time, sure. But using it as a counterexample to my point that corruption is prevalent in all human-made systems is pretty ironic, since it’s not mutually exclusive with anything I’ve said. Feudalism was a system built on fixed hierarchies and rigid beliefs. Capitalism, at its infancy, stood in direct opposition to feudalism and offered a far freer alternative, with no theoretical limits to upward mobility for the individual. There were literal violent clashes between classes before capitalism eventually prevailed. Yet you seem biased against systems that allow more freedom, claiming they simply make corruption more available. Meanwhile, feudalism was extremely strict, while capitalism opened the door to greater liberty. So which way is it? Is authoritarianism or libertarianism more fertile ground for corruption, and which one represents progress in your view? Because from where I’m standing, you’ve clearly contradicted yourself on this LOL

    @Sincerity at worst I will friendzone her and use her to build up my social circle to make myself more attractive to other girls. So its a win/win I guess.

    Being a bit more playful helps, if you’re not quite comfortable touching “unnecessarily”. Like if she asks you where you are from you could tell her your North Korean and here on business trip. I’ve never had these sort of comments go poorly.
  13. Your mind is constructing what is appearing before you at this very moment. You are sovereign, but it requires you becoming conscious of what your mind is doing. No one is giving advice-I’m sharing my own insights. What matters most is that I understand, what everyone else does is irrelevant
  14. Ya. Yah, I'm definitely looking into it, thanks. It definitely rings louder after loud noise exposure, that's why I associated it with it. Something else I found was headrests in cars, I turn mine around backwards so it doesn't push your head forward on your spine. I feel almost like a conspiracy theorist with how all these common things seem to screw up your posture. I even wear flip flops as much as possible, it's all one kinetic chain.
  15. Then, why you can't control what appears? Let's try having a conversation without those advices. Thanks anyway.
  16. I think what he means, could be wrong, is that if one super concerned with survival, accumulation process of collecting food, money security, residence/housing, and other basic needs, then Enlightenment is out of touch for them, even though it is always there as a Potential to be tapped into or explored. Monks still have cores to do because we still have to deal with the body and mind while pursing or attaining Enlightenment for the most part. Ramana spent lots of time in a cave, didn't do any chores or was concerned with his Bodies condition, enough so that magots were eating his body up, until they got him out of that situation... In a normal Householders situation we cannot do that, we have mouths to feed, and stuff to do, but deeper down we know our direction and true purpose here....

  17. Finished the LP course

    Now that I really blocked all my Youtube my mind is in panic mode looking for distraction. Its quite intense, a lot of emotions hit me. Especially in my stomach area.
  18. No, You have more than a Mind, you have a Body with its own intelligence, Emotions and Energy, and you also have Karmic Substance, so we are all made up of a few things not just Mind, or Thoughts, or picked up Ideologies.. The thing is today ppl are super identified with Thoughts, Ideology, thinking process that they believe this is all we have to use while here and Embodied, that is not so...
  19. It’s not only that you have a mind … You ARE Mind- Eternally Becoming directly conscious of this is the REAL work. Everything else you are doing is distraction
  20. Today
  21. "Your" "mind" implies that you have something, a mind. Are two things, and that mind is doing things, because things are appearing, but it's not you who is doing those things, then that mind is another thing separate than you.
  22. All you have is your mind. No way around it-no matter how hard you try. The inside-outside distinction you make is illusory and based on concept.
  23. Why separate them? It's a false dichotomy and an excuse. It's best to eliminate whatever notions and ideas we may have of enlightenment. I suspect you're holding it like a sort of ideal or fantasy. Monks still have to clean up, cook, and maintain the monastery, while pursuing enlightenment.
  24. @Leo Gura Leo, your info on weightlifting is like 5-10 years outdated I’d say . But yeah, most people, especially if they’re beginners will get great results from that I’d say. In general, all the tactics, strategies, to train to failure or not to train to failure, deep stretches, de-loads etc. are much more relevant for advanced lifters who hit plateaus. Beginners can do whatever they want and gain muscle.
  25. Found something worse lmao
  26. Yes so true. If Musk calculated and proved faster than light travel is possible (through portals or something) that would be Einstein level.
  27. Most people here haven't even mastered their survival, including me. Forget about enlightenment.
