  1. Past hour
  2. I feel there's still value in learning from others from time to time. Just because Bentinho has some devilry in him, does not negate the fact that some wisdom flows through him as well. Same goes for Osho etc. You dont need to be a 'follower' to learn something new.
  3. It goes too deep. There is something very eerie happening with identity and what you look at. You actually cant look at something you dont identify with. Your eyes are constantly scanning a simulation for something you identify with. When people say the world is you what they are saying is you literally cannot look at something you dont identify with. Its a realization that you are stuck looking at your identity. Like being in a toybox and stuck focusing on 4 toys.
  4. Before spiritual awakening I used to consume all sorts of damned stuff like gore videos, horror movies, criminal documentaries and to me those things were just entertainment, I had nothing to do with those people. But nowadays, I can't even read the news without thinking that all that horrible stuff is me. How do you deal with that?

  8. @Monster Energy Yeah religion gets put on a pedestal. My guess is this is because religious disagreement is so apt to lead to conflict. So, pedestalising religion makes society more orderly. Also, its probably just religious folk pedastalising their bs.

  10. @Jirh lmao
  11. I could have explained it better. My understanding is that at the core churches don't value critic thinking. I understand that religious environments try to install values of generosity, responsibility and commitment, but that's about it. No real intelligence behind and it comes with a baggage of bs too. But that is not to say that secular education is perfect. There's ton of nonsense there too. I am just disgusted by the idea of forcing kids to listen to an old dude dressed in white coats speaking boring stories.
  12. Agreed. Great post
  13. No judgement from me, bro. There is nothing wrong with you for feeling this way. I have had some similar thoughts myself before. We can help each other through this life

  14. Weed and Schizophrenia

    Hojo replied to ElvisN's topic in Personal Development -- [Main]

    Weed make ego go hypermode. Makes it easier to see and identify. When I first smoked weed my brain would say ' im dying' 'this is killing me' 'my brain is glitching' It would scare me but I keep doing it and then it stopped. It makes your ego ramble and that allows you to see it more clearly when you have schizophrenia and you beleive you are one of the thoughts in your head.
  15. Yes, that's one way to put it, that's what I mean. I'm wondering, what exactly is your technique for breaking down these barriers? As I see it your natural state must be there when you stop trying to do something or change it, so I understand as long as you're trying to achieve something, you're essentially preventing yourself. I do believe that one has to make an effort for a while to prepare the mind to wake up and recognize where the barriers are. My view is that the closed state is something we actively maintain, and if you simply relax completely or stop doing anything, then you don't have to dissolve anything because you're not maintaining anything. Like the more I try to dissolve something, the more I'm actually strenghtening the one who wants it to fall. For me, simply relaxing into the 'closed' state or the fear is what eventually reveals it to be transparent. It’s not a mental trick, but a total surrender to whatever 'what is' looks like in this moment even if it looks like contraction. Another way I like to describe it, is that I open my mind and surrender all my thoughts to God.
  16. As mentioned above, definitely be very careful about what you assume is true. What you are describing sounds like this is more of a human thing (adult vs. child) than necessarily a man vs. woman issue. Most humans don’t initially enjoy being responsible, and many, if given the choice, will prefer fun, leisure, and a lack of responsibility, an “easy life” focused on pleasure. You could say “a lot” instead of “most” since I don’t have statistics on this, but the point is that this is more about the transition from being a child to becoming an adult, rather than a gendered difference. A lot of men in today's society get a simple, steady job and then spend their time on things like weed, bars, clubbing, video games, doomscrolling, and social media. Just as many women do the same, maybe with different or the same jobs, games, or types of social media content, but this is a very much human pattern, not a gendered one. Both men and women have to deal with the job market; they have to deal with health issues, breakups, financial stress, family responsibilities, loneliness, mental health struggles, workplace pressure, uncertainty about the future, housing costs, debt, and the general ups and downs of life. We are all kind of conditioned, unless you had a very difficult childhood, to have a breezy, fun early childhood life. So, going from being a child to an adult, unless you truly lacked safety or freedom, will almost always, by design, feel painful or "worse off". Most women need to work, be responsible, and deal with the hardships of life, just like most men. And most women don’t want to be gold diggers or overly dependent on someone they cannot trust to survive. A lot of this is more propaganda than reality. Look around you, how are your grandmothers, mothers, and friends living? That’s normal human life. The flashy, easy life you see for women is a fantasy for most people. The same goes for content on YouTube and social media; you need to be very careful about what information you believe and what fantasies you let influence you. People portray a picture-perfect life on social media, but in reality, it isn’t true. That being said, it’s completely normal not to feel like what society says you should be. So I definitely empathize, and you should look into this more yourself. I just wanted to add my two cents: be careful not to accidentally convince yourself that you’re in the wrong body. From what you’re describing, this sounds more like personality or responsibility struggles than actually feeling like you’re in the wrong body or feeling uncomfortable or disgusted by it. But obviously, reflect on it further. Support to you! I wouldn’t say there’s anything wrong with you based on your post!
  17. Yes, that can happen. Is so hard to balance an entire society into self-sufficiency. But also developed countries donate to their citizens a lot. They do it in an intelligent way. The question is rather what to do about corruption. Governments that have an identity of charity are often full of corruption.
  18. Siege 6. That game is the love of my life.
  19. The tao. It's very difficult to open that door. In my case, any psychedelic has a very similar effect. 5-MeO-DMT and NNDMT feel exactly the same, as if they were the same substance. The effect is always this: everything blurs, and at a certain point, something very difficult to remember or represent happens. Reality completely loses its foundation, its contrast, and what remains is absolutely nothing. A boundless, undifferentiated, absolutely empty ocean. This experience is not fun at all. The first time is horrible, then you get used to it. If you do it again and again, at a certain point, everything opens up. This is absolutely impossible to think about or remember. Reality was dark because something was veiling it; the veil falls, and the total light is revealed. It's just being , what is. Nothing else, but it's everything.
  20. Quantum jumping is like spiritual awakening. Its almost the same process. Its like your here but your not. Its like you as a qbit are in 2 spots at the same time and you can recognize it when it happens. One inside and one outside the universe at the same time. A spiritual awakening is actually a qbit jumping between one spot and another.
  21. Interesting book that touches upon the storage of value, the importance of limited supply and how assets with easily bendable rules (like printable cash) are always prone to corruption.
  22. @Wilhelm44 At this rate I wouldn´t be suprised if some weird stuff came out about them too, I don´t think the guru and student dynamic is healthy at the end of the day. It should probably be more like between you and God instead of some preacher. Basically the preacher makes you dogmatic, believing whatever he or she says, just like a religion or putting the bible before God. I just listen to regular meditations and have my own meditation practices for almost a year now, instead of all these gurus that I used to listen to for years, because I realised how it makes you dogmatic and also my intuition felt something was off about it, which has now been proven right.

    The N word.
  24. This only proves that there is no such thing as an absolute good. Anything we do, no matter how good it may seem, will always be limited, have blind-spots, cast shadows, create complex feedback loops, etc... It speaks to the unpredictability of life, and of the nature of good and evil being relative. The question is always the same: Are we trying to preserve a system or a life? And the answer is often not easy.
  25. @Jordan of the Shire Thank you for elaborating.

  26. PROJECT : MEANING

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

    Following the above release of this week's performance check-list for Stage One: This weeks new term that will be explored next weekend in writing that you can begin contemplating now: Meaning Drift. To everyone for your own contempletion, how do you think this term may apply to PROJECT : MEANING, and subsequently, your own creation and pursuit of meaning? You will find out next weekend. Beat wishes. І нотатка для себе: пам’ятай меч перемоги тут, коли наступного разу повернешся до цього допису. Якщо не зможеш згадати повністю, згадай ту найістиннішу троянду; а якщо вже не зможеш відчути її аромат - тоді нехай і тебе буде загублено серед проклятих.
  27. @Leo Gura I had to listen twice, because I couldn´t believe what I heard.
