  1. Past hour
  2. There are many cult leaders who engage in what you’re describing. We need to give credit to spiritual teachers who have the discipline to refrain from engaging in such abusive behavior towards their students- despite have the power to do so
  3. Yeah it's so cheap he's stealing customers...
  4. His BS knows no bounds.
  5. I could’ve sworn they said these will affect actual laws or something like that
  6. I didn’t know other candidates either So I’d just pick a woman or if they had a name I liked
  7. One of my favorite questions off the survey: BOOM. A much more broader scope than saying “trans healthcare” or “abortion rights” (stage blue is allergic to those terms( Smart play.
  8. They were actually not laws, they were non-binding opinion survey questions on various issue. They’re basically just the party asking its voters “how do you feel about this topic?” — like a poll built into the ballot. No matter how people vote on them, they don’t become laws or change any policy. They’re just meant to gauge what party voters care about. But eventually it would transform into becoming more if enough people care about them. Awareness is key.
  9. Yeah, I would say that Ralston seems to lack...compassion? That words seems right. He is so deep in his own reality tunnel that he either forgot or even never experienced the challenges you mention. A friend of mine visited one of his courses in person and he (Ralston) seems to lack certain empathic qualities...at least from time to time.
  10. Quite the claim to say his view is "flawed". HTF you know that? What purpose does it serve for you to think that way? What consequences would happen if you reverse your POV by 180°? You don't need Leo for that. It's super the most basic common sense there is, isn't it? There's not a single person whom I attribute just a tiny speck of credibility who says otherwise. Seriously, I can't think of anyone that goes "Don't use your own common sense, don't make your own experience, following me blindly and never question" And for the ones now saying "what about religion or sects" I refer back to tiny speck of credibility and the common sense you're born with as a human I pointed out above.

  12. Expression of Sincerity

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

    The comfort of truth you can always re-verify Solipsism is the case.* I’ve became conscious of it enough times to know it. It’s so beautiful when you don’t need to worry about defending a truth. Because you can always start with a beginner’s mind, and when you get to a truth again and again, then you know that you can trust it. It’s such a relief. „What if I’m deluding myself? How do I know X is true? Oh, wait… I don’t need to be attached to any belief. I can always start from scratch. And whatever will arise from my unprejudiced consciousness, that will be truth. I can relax. I am safe.” ——————— * But there’s more.
  13. That would be nice
  14. Today
  15. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/supreme-court/tariffs-case-supreme-court-justices-bicker-biden-trump-treatment-rcna259922 Gorsuch voted against Trump tariffs and tore into the conservative justices that voted for it, claiming they treat cases based on who's president at the time. This is a pretty unprecedented comment because it's from the most right-wing young justice on the court, a damning accusation of corruption. If alito and Thomas make it to 2029, democrats will take the court in the first time since 1969
  16. I meant Half-Life 3.
  17. Yes, I skipped many of the choices for candidates because I was uneducated about my options. lessons: not everyone will vote the same exact way, even on the same team. I will do research on the candidates prior to voting. Even if it’s only a few I look into. Researching should be less stressful with AI assistance, used responsibly. The fact that skipping questions even is an option is healthy, Unlike standardized testing in schools. At least you get to participate and not feel guilty for not knowing. We are making progress

  18. New Server Migration

    Jannes replied to Leo Gura's topic in Personal Development -- [Main]

    My experience is this: when I havent used the site for some time, maybe an hour or so, it loads very slow the first time. Afterwards its very fast.
  19. yes, i remember:) i know they shouldn't bother me, but they do. which, i think, is not solved by telling me i should not feel that way. so i wonder why i feel that way, and how i can manage that. yes. bad excuse, but sometimes i feel too agitated or anxious to stick to the meditation routine that would stop me feeling agitated or anxious. is that a bad character trait of mine? are there ways to make meditation feel more accessible to me? you don't have to answer if you do not know. i am judging myself for being like that.

  21. A Critical Perspective on Psychedelic Use

    Oeaohoo replied to Oeaohoo's topic in Psychedelics

    I thought this part about the UFO phenomenon was very interesting: This reminds me very much of Twin Peaks: The Return, especially the 8th episode about the nuclear explosion, a vivid depiction of how dark forces have taken over the world. I know that Mark Frost was interested in Kenneth Grant so that makes sense… This is the water And this is the well. Drink full and descend. The horse is the white of the eyes and dark within.
  22. @Hardkill Also, a war with Iran will run gas up to $5, like when we went to war against Iraq sent it to $4. When companies start suing for tarrifs ruled illegal, the debt will spiral even more..... it will take an act of God to save Republicans.
  23. Another interview of Tucker Carlson with a Palestinian Christian from the West Bank, Beit Sahour near Bethlehem, explaining his experiences surrounded by settlers. How this Christian majority place since the times of Jesus is close to being ethnically cleansed. His own mother was shot in front of him when he was a child by a random attack by an IDF soldier. One of his friends, called Salam, was murdered by a settler who shot him from a window inside his home, no one was even detained. Another young Christian guy was killed by a rock to the head from a home kidnapped by the IDF. They are systematically spat upon when they walk in their land, this is the least that can happen to them. It's a sick apartheid state, not even South Africa was that bad, and it was bad. These a few of his experiences from the 90s, so no, this didn't start on October 7th.

  24. "intimacy"

    Judy2 replied to Judy2's topic in Self-Actualization Journals

    rough day. i've been debating whether to share this, but i finally got in touch with a systemic therapist this week - one i'd already spoken with twice last summer - and he, rather surprisingly, agreed to take me as a patient. the session got rather amusing when he brought up that he'd like to invite in my dad so that we can all talk together. not sure if i see that happening, realistically speaking. other than that, he said to assemble an "emergency kit" for myself and start painting my emotions with colours - because pressure requires ex-press-ion, he says. the emergency kit, i am hesitant about. i rarely use my dbt skills, mostly because i believe my dysregulation isn't bad enough for me to require it, and my emotions are real and objective.... but i suppose it is true that i could benefit...i've never tried for long enough to actually see if they work, though, and it is just a weird shift in perspective to consider myself as the one who's allowed to consciously down-regulate herself when needed. but i guess it is needed, if i am being honest, although that doesn't make this any easier to admit.
  25. We Are SOOOO Back Baby
  26. I had the same thing going on in my psyche about 5 years ago. I used pursuing spirituality as a way to distract myself from dealing with my authentic desires of getting laid, finding a job that I love, and developing more mature relationships with family and friends. Reading spiritual books and meditating were more comfortable than dealing with the real life challenges in the world, in other words "developing the ego." This wasn't necessarily a mistake, I gained foundational knowledge of what spiritually is and what it takes to pursue Truth, but I was not ready in the slightest to truly pursue Truth. The thing is that Truth is not going to get you laid, it's not going to make you money, it's not going to get you fame, it's not going to get you a house. So if you still have these desires, the ego development route is the better path until you "burn through your karma." The cool thing about your situation is that you will be meditating consistently through your work, which is a great habit to instill in the pursuit of Truth down the road. Best of luck to you brother, I relate to your situation.
