  2. To most Jews Zionism is just the belief in a Jewish state. The demonization of that in present day society is one of the most extreme reactions I've seen. Equivocating that to Nazism, etc. There are 6-8 official "Islamic" nations. There are 23 nations where the official religion is Islam. There are millions and even billions who believe this should be the case. They are not designated Nazis. These nations all have histories filled with violence and conquest. I'm not excusing present day Israel's actions, and if there are initiatives to expand and take more land, we should call those out. But because of the roots of a movement 100 years ago, the two ideas have become interlinked. Colonialism and the belief in a Jewish State. Some say they can't be separated, but we would not apply that standard to any other country. If you are pro United States or believe in the country as a whole, no one would claim you are a colonialist. No one would say anyone with ties to America is pro ethnic cleansing because of the nation's history or even what they are currently doing around the world. Yet this is what happens today to anyone with ties to Israel. Now you may not agree with the idea of a Jewish state, and claim you apply that universally to all religious or ethno states. You believe in secular ideals, fine. Sure. But this ignores the reality of the world and the region. This is the holy land. This utopian idea, that if not for Zionism there would be one secular state. It is complete nonsense. Almost no one living in the region wants that, neither Israeli or Palestinian. The 2024 joint PCPSR/Tel Aviv University poll found: Palestinians 40% - two states 33% - one Palestinian-dominated state with limited rights for Jews 25% - one democratic state with equal rights Israeli Jews 21% - two states 42% - annexation/one state without equal Palestinian rights 14% - one democratic state with equal rights But there’s newer Palestinian polling. A 2025 PCPSR poll that explicitly made respondents choose among three alternatives found: 47% - two states 18% - Israeli-Palestinian confederation 12% - one state with Jews and Palestinians living equally 24% - don’t know/no answer. And Arab Barometer’s October 2025 polling is even more striking: 59% of Palestinians preferred two states, while one state was in the single digits. In Gaza specifically, support for two states was 64%. SO yeah, no one wants that. The Palestinians themselves would rather each side have their own ethno state with self determination, rather than this Western bullshit ideal that was projected onto the region.

    Profound Quotes #135 https://share.google/vBuqJkWfYrvILKPhh What this Quote means? I dont get it

  11. Friend, maybe you replied in haste? Allah is routinely described with superlatives. The most merciful, for example.
  12. Honestly, this reeks of neediness. And it's not how human relationships work. But whatever works for you, I guess.
  13. @Miguel1 You'll like David Tian's work
  14. ... the imperfect is being nullified within the perfect. It's on-going. Not static.
  15. @Miguel1 Read throug the topic and I agree with your approach. While there is nothing inherently wrong about dating more people at the same time (if you are honest about that), I feel like it tends to mix up too many energies/dynamics with different people in order to view them somewhat objectively. Besides I feel like just as @Zenterus mentioned, I filter out most woman on the first date anyways so it is hard to imagine for me to be seeing multiple woman at the same time whom I would be actually interested in. If I meet a woman where I see the potential for us to go further, I want to explore that. Trying to run around and find more people to date with seems like a defensive strategy to sabotage your relationships.
  16. @Jirh Too loose. You are not serious about finding a compatible partner. The goal is to find out about compatibility fast. Not slow. Not fuck around and find out. Simply find out.
  17. God is the one and only infinite source of vitality. Infinite means: "without any beginnings and without any endings". There is no creator of infinity. Infinity possesses "creator"; not vice-versa. Creating "things" does not necessitate being a "thing". Like your own will which permeates your entire body, God's will permeates the entire "body" of the universe and more. God's will is defined as a nearly infinite nested chain of gradually "descending" ten motives called "Seder Hishtashalus". "Descending" is in quotes because there is no above-and-below beyond the material. Clarity Understanding Knowing Giving Taking Sharing ( mercy ) Submission Victory Teamwork Dominion This God is literally infinite. Infinity is not subject to causality. IF, big if, this God is revealing itself to humanity in various times and in various ways, then, it's reasonable to conclude, this God wants humanity to know these ways and emulate them. Deuteronomy 10:12 ועתה ישראל מה יהוה אלהיך שאל מעמך כי אם־ליראה את־יהוה אלהיך ללכת בכל־דרכיו ולאהבה אתו ולעבד את־יהוה אלהיך בכל־לבבך ובכל־נפשך׃ And now, Israel, what does the Lord your God require of you, but to fear the Lord your God, to walk in all his ways, and to love him, and to serve the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul,

    I think one of the most important things on a spiritual path is learning to make a clear distinction between genuine spiritual insight and spiritual escapism. The two can sometimes look almost identical from the outside, and even internally they can be difficult to distinguish. A profound insight can genuinely change the way you relate to life, but the mind can also take spiritual ideas that contain some truth and turn them into a way of avoiding whatever feels difficult or uncomfortable about practical life . For example, the idea that “nothing ultimately matters” feels incredibly liberating. The idea that no external achievement, relationship, possession, or experience can ever provide permanent fulfillment can also feel deeply true and resonates with our “soul “.And there is something very appealing about the possibility of simply withdrawing from the noise of the world, sitting in silence, and discovering that happiness does not depend on anything outside of oneself. Or living like Ramana Maharishi ,just fully vulnerable and present hanging out naked in an ashram barely covering my penis and ass. But precisely because these perspectives are so appealing, they can be self-deceptions. Is it genuinely a realization that nothing external can provide lasting fulfillment? Or is the mind using that insight as a justification for not engaging with life? Is the desire to sit alone in silence coming from freedom and clarity, or is it partly coming from fear, or an unwillingness to deal with the complexity of relationships and society? The social dimension of life is difficult . Always has been ,always will be . Relationships, friendships, work, family, social expectations, communication, conflict, rejection, intimacy, responsibility, and simply being around other people can create enormous amounts of stress. It can therefore be extremely tempting to arrive at a spiritual conclusion that seems to solve the entire problem: “None of this really matters. I don’t need any of it. I can just be alone, meditate, and be perfectly content.” Maybe there is genuine wisdom in recognizing that none of these things can provide ultimate fulfillment. But that doesn’t necessarily mean that withdrawing from them is automatically an expression of spiritual freedom. There is a difference between realizing that you do not need something for your fundamental well-being and deciding that you therefore should have nothing to do with it. There is also a possibility that both things can be happening simultaneously. Maybe there really are genuine spiritual insights present, while at the same time those insights are being used, consciously or unconsciously, as a form of escapism i could genuinely understand that external circumstances cannot give me permanent fulfillment while also secretly enjoying the idea because it gives me permission to avoid confronting certain aspects of life. I could genuinely experience the peace of solitude while also using solitude to protect myself from the difficulties of human interactions .i could genuinely see through certain forms of worldly attachment while simultaneously using spirituality to avoid responsibilities or experiences that make me uncomfortable At the same time, the opposite can also become a trap. We shouldn’t automatically dismiss an insight simply because it makes us less interested in certain conventional pursuits. Sometimes genuine spiritual understanding really does change one’s priorities. Perhaps certain ambitions genuinely lose their importance. Perhaps solitude really is more fulfilling than constant stimulation. Perhaps one genuinely discovers that happiness does not depend on acquiring more experiences, possessions, attention, or validation. The challenge is determining whether that movement is coming from freedom or avoidance. Maybe one useful test is to ask: If I were completely unafraid of life, would I still choose this? If I had no fear of rejection, conflict, judgment, intimacy, failure, uncertainty, or social discomfort, would I still want to live a very solitary life? If the answer is yes, that tells me something. But if the desire for solitude becomes dramatically weaker when I imagine myself completely at ease with other people, then perhaps there is an element of avoidance mixed into my spiritual reasoning.
  20. It happens when you take a high dose of psychedelic, it's a common phenomena. You usually perceive your experience as limited, then you take the drug x and for a moment you perceive yourself without limits, that's extremely strange, so your mental processes restructure for a while creating the certainly of that you are creating the reality with your mind, and being unlimited, obviously the others only exist as images because if they have their own experiences, it would be a limit between you and them, and this is impossible from your actual perception. Imo it's just a mistake that happens when you confuse your unlimited nature with your limited form.

    Post #60: Beyond repair This body and mind is damaged beyond repair. I want new ones.
  22. I think that there could be a recipe, the question is avoiding the mistakes. Those Buddhist created their ideas thousands years ago, and they were geniuses for the level of knowledge that was possible in that time. Imo all their paradigm aims to free the mind, but the problem is that those ideas have many blind points and contradictions that make the seeker stuck, closed in ideas like void, no self, etc. that's why Buddhism split in many contradiction branches. It's possible a perfect formulation, the key is avoiding what's wrong.

  23. How To Lock In?

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

    Not really, no. Just in theory. Spirituality seems to be an area that provides you with an ability to simply just be without chasing some endless cheese and be okay with that. But I think that only comes after lots of suffering through life and training yourself and your nervous system a lot.
  24. depends on what "matters" means to you. If "matters" means emotional concern about what happens, then nothing matters for you if you are dead(obviously) but this is a view from within your current human emotional paradigm. If we broaden our perspective, that emotional concern about what happens would be the vector of the cause-and-effect flow of reality pointing in a certain direction. Then you could say that for reality, it "matters" that x happens instead of y, simply because it points to x. You could also say that it makes no difference to you personally whether x or y happens, but reality is pointing to x. Why? Because the unfolding of causality and form has created patterns that have a directional vector that we call "matters." Therefore, at that local point in reality, that x happens instead of y "matters." For a cell, not dying matters, simply because it aims to not die. It makes no difference to you personally? Great,.then at the local point in reality called veganawake, nothing matters. But in other points matters. Matters is just preference, and in reality preference arises.
  25. Respectfully, this is a fool's errand. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC2754306/ "A more external locus of control is related to fewer periods of recovery, to both depressed mood and psychosis, and to various aspects of personality."
  26. I finished the first video, at the end he speaks about the informational state etc. there are some documentaries I saw recently that go deeper into Hitler, and the east and the war simulations I play I do my best to reconstruct a benevolent position out of war so far. I still have so much stuff to do and got more archetypal insights, I do have to calm down a bit, as it's paradoxical and involves sex, the main reason I see for such humans they are unable to get to needs of humans and build happiness.
  27. My vote? Everyone is suited for spiritual work, because, everyone is a union of material and spiritual. And. Spiritual work happens naturally as individuals develop. That's why old folks tend to be smart and laid back. Even reading a good book is spiritual work, when the reader becomes immersed in the author's work. How does the schizophrenia present? For the others, You may be in a better position than most, because you're necessarily going to need to stay grounded. Most folks don't focus well on both their physical needs and their spiritual aspirations. With these conditions you are forced to become excellent at self-care. You already know this, but: sleep, exercise, and nutrition are super important for you. Heard. I have not seen anyone completely walk away without coming back to it. "You can't put toothpaste back into the tube."
