  1. Past hour
  2. Yep this is why male suicide is a huge, huge problem ☹️ As a wider question - do the men of the forum think this isn't payed enough attention? Heaps of dudes feel expendable.
  3. @ladelle How did spirituality get in your way?
  4. The reason it is alone is because of its unlimitedness. You phrase it as "the unlimited". There can only be one "the unlimited". You are removing the infinitude of God and ironically telling that God implies an individual. God is not merely God because it should be God; it must have the attribute of being infinite. You are polishing the presentation of your logic without being logical.
  5. Yes. A strong pressure to stay or conform. I don't really feel any pressure to stay or conform myself to anything here. I kind of forgot the site existed until a while ago. In a cult, leaving, or trying to be different, will feel like a big risk. It will invoke fear because others in the cult told you that you should fear leaving. Other members might even threaten or extort for leaving. You'd feel guilty at the consideration, or like you're making a big mistake, and usually other members will try to invoke this mindset in you. In certain cults, even the way you sit or speak is scrutinized if it isn't like the other members.
  6. To balance this you can claim women have opportunity to build character through mothering / childrearing & care. Men can coast to a greater degree. There's a reason women gravitate towards caretaking to a greater degree. Different domains of speciality.
  7. Men and women are complementary. There is no superior or inferior. Women, biological females, can give birth. We have a portal to life, we have the womb, which is a great power that was exploited by patriarchy, but it doesn't mean that we are inherently superior. Our ability to give birth gives us better resistance to pain than men because birth is one of the most painful experiences a human can ever have. We are the beginning, the first sex. When there is a fetus, it always starts as female and later, if it is destined to be male, it converts to male. We have other biological such as living longer. Males, on the other hand, have other advantages, like physical strength. Women attempt suicide at higher rates than men and are more prone to mental illness and autoimmune diseases, mainly because of repressed anger, which is often penalized. Women make most household spending decisions simply because men do not want to be involved in those decisions, and often this burden falls on women. Men, on the other hand, spend money on things like cars, electronics, gadgets, tools, and sometimes investments in tech or hobbies. They usually hold more expensive assets. All humans need both. Also, healthy feminine energy and healthy masculine energy need some of the polar energy to become balanced and healthy. If there is only feminine without the masculine, it becomes chaos without structure, and if there is only masculine without the feminine, it becomes too rigid without the flow of life. This is why a healthy psyche need to integrate both. Feminine energy is Shakti, the life energy,creative energy that flows in each cell of our body and breath, and masculine energy is Shiva, the awareness, direction, and structure that contains life.
  8. Women are less likely to kill themselves in general. They are less impulsive.
  9. What you are saying is absolutely wrong, it's a delusional view that is very common, I also had it many times with psychedelics. It's a stage in the dissolution of the density of the self. It has a name in meditation, Im going to search any link. This one for example. Look, what you are talking about is a creation of the mind. Don't get stuck in it
  10. The bottomline is to focus on your strengths. Classic self-help principle. Men generally need prove their worth more, whereas women get to coast to a greater degree. On the flipside, men generally have a greater opportunity to build character. There's a reason why men tend to gravitate towards leadership to a greater degree.
  11. I didn't come to my understanding through a guru. That came on by its own, out of nowhere (no drugs) on a couple of occasions and I sought the guru to tell me I wasn't actually fucking crazy. The guru and the drugs confirmed what I already knew because I knew I had forgotten it. Its sublime metaphysical poetry on an infinite scale. When you hear "You are God" that's not a joke. Its just you motherfucker, having a whacked out fever dream on planet durp. The joke is you're telling yourself you're God and you're simply not accepting the truth of what is right in front of your fucking face. You actually managed to convince yourself this shit was real - that's how fuckin good you are. You cant help but love it. We could get along but you make that impossible. This is just your reminder that you're responsible for the dream so if you're dream sucks you can have a better dream. Win the lottery or something, I dunno. Get rid of your alcohol addiction and drive right and shit. Up to you.
  12. Yep there's definitely a pattern there that means I see more of the poor examples of mental health and men. If I put a women in a similar situation, she would be less likely to kill herself.
  13. Of course, those farm dogs are the happiest. They have unlimited energy.
  14. Is the patriarchy in the room with us right now?
  15. Indoor dogs is modern phenomena I believe. A dog makes a lot of sense on a farm. Not only as a work animal but also for the dog itself, who love working and it's a stimulating environment. I think the happiest dogs I've ever met was a small pack of four in an Aboriginal village in Queensland Australia. They would run around, play all day and chase dingos at night.
  16. I love this. I often struggle to see the value of men, have self loathing, and put women on a pedestal too often. Thanks for this.
  17. Of course. It was actually a rather apt call. Quite obvious, all things considered.
  18. First of all, no one should have kids only because they receive benefits for it. Society needs to be reconstructed in a way that, first of all, the basic needs of all humans are met and are protected by law, such as food, shelter, healthcare, education, and being in a community. The space also needs to be constructed in such a way that it is friendly for communities to gather, walk, and exist. Unlike the modern structure of many cities, which is built for cars and consumption. This is not science fiction and is technically possible to do. Secondly, society shouldn't push anyone to be a parent, especially not women. For thousands of years, motherhood and marriage have been tied to womanhood and worth. There shouldn't be social pressure on women to have a partner or give birth. But if someone wants to be a parent, they should receive the help they need from the government and the community: basic education, shelter, food, and basic needs for their children. The idea that children are individual possessions is a patriarchal idea. Children belong to everybody, and society is responsible for providing for children so that they grow up and become good adults who contribute to and move society forward. Patriarchal people need to realize that while there are some biological differences between men and women and gender roles can help with order, they are not fixed, and both sexes can and historically have done both roles. People are more complex and nuanced than the black-and-white version of patriarchy.
  19. This is as far of real enlightenment as can be. It's just a belief that you get by watching gurus and that now you really believe that it's the truth. It's very obvious reading you that your ego is very dense. It's not that you still have work to do, it's that you haven't started yet
  20. In my experience, a lot of guys get funneled into blue collar work because they are "losers", because they can't focus on their academics and/or aren't cut out for school. They typically have issues and lack good role models I think. My brother who's a metallurgist distinguished between the people actually interested in the subject and the "nitwits" who where more interested in getting wasted and driving cool cars (what I think you'd call bogans in Australia).
  21. Doing a hike with a dog's company is wholesome. It is the only way I enjoy being around dogs. I can't stand dogs inside a house because it creates problems. From dumb barking, eating your objects, or the dog getting depressed. People gotta learn how dogs will live their best lives. On the other hand, humans create playgrounds for children that's only pavement. That's how sick our thinking is.
  22. From everything I have seen in the younger folks I train and couch, men do appear to be falling behind. Women's equality has not been at the cost of men's. It is just illuminating issues that were always there. Male suicide is something I am passionate about that I wish was spoken about here more. I don't think male suicide means women are superior. We have had 4 male apprentices kill themselves. Burying a 22 year old man almost broke me.
  23. Women are generally more socially adept, which is beneficial when you live in a world that has mostly cast away survival depending on physicality in favor of mental cognition and conforming to bureaucratic institutions. But if the apocalypse happened women would suddenly become a lot more directly dependent on men for survival. You see this in Ukraine, with who's fighting the war and who flees as refugees. Men built society and via their own inventions then made themselves redundant. But it's still men who do the majority of the most dangerous and crucial jobs for society's functioning. If your demographic is coastal city hipster, then yeah, women are clearly superior.
  24. Yes I'm talking about myself, but what I am is not a mind, it's the absolute unlimited expressed now as a human I didn't create nothing, existence arises in the unlimited because it's unlimited, and what I am now is a local process that expresses the unlimited now, but I'm not the only local process because what I am, the unlimited, is expressed in unlimited forms. They also use to ask money, and some times that you suck his dick. It's up to you to accept it or not
  25. @UnbornTao I'm just gonna pretend I didn't hear that. Take care brother
  26. A touch of the devils advocate 😉 The only reason I disagree with the claim is the domain error it evokes. Like saying a chainsaw is better than a dropsaw because it is mobile, light, better access to areas etc. but it is designed for less precision and control. A different application. The dropsaw and the chainsaw still cut. They both have a blade. Both require power. They are both powered saws, but they specialise in different cutting techniques. Both types of saws are needed to break down a tree into lumber and then cut to to precision for the wood to build a house. Men and women need each other
