Ardhanarishvara, duality and nonduality, yin and yang:

Obviously that's delusional. We're not gonna advance such things here. The MAGA cult is a small percentage of conservatives. You can have conservative views but be sure to distinguish yourself from the kind of partisan ideology found on FoxNews, OANN, NewsMax, etc. Demonstrate that you are not dogmatic or ideological. And don't gaslight us with projection and whataboutism. I would LOVE to see some non-ideological, non-partisan, sane, reasonable fact-based conservatives. They are a rare breed these days.

Like I said a long time ago, if Trump goes down, his ego is such that he will try to take the ship down with him. That's what we're seeing now.

Moderators, please direct any new threads started about this topic here. So we have one main discussion thread on the MAGA Coup.

Discuss here:

Mind what you post. If I catch anyone doing apologetics for Trumpism -- doing stuff like false equivalence between left and right, gaslighting about liberals, or suggesting the election was fraudulent -- you will be banned. If you have a conservative worldview, tread carefully.

@Hardkill I hope so It's crazy how razor thin US elections are. Especially when the Republicans keep putting up monsters as their candidates. The saddest thing of all is that these elections should be a slam dunk for Dems. Which is the clearest proof that people like Ken Wilber and Don Beck are wrong. America is nowhere close to solid Green yet, let alone Yellow. The rural parts of the country are shockingly regressive. The real question no one is asking is: as cities develop, how do we help rural folks evolve? If we leave the rural folks behind it will come back to bite us, as we see with Trumpism. Trumpism is a rural phenomenon.

Chickens have come home to roost Remember, ideology is not merely ideas. Ideology gives rise to stuff like violence, and genocide, and terrorism.

Umm... pretty sure the Hindus beat him by 5000 years Edit: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ardhanarishvara

Not so. Even a headshot is survivable. And police almost never do headshots. Headshots work in video games but professionals rarely aim for the head since it's so hard to hit.

Most people won't even die from a single gunshot. It's actually pretty hard to kill someone. You'd be surprised. People can get shot 4-6 times and still live.

Also, dude, don't forget, most women are short! You can easily find gorgeous women who are in the sub 5'5" range. So ultimately height is irrelevant.

Don't take his numerical scale too seriously. Big picture-wise it's good. God is Infinite Love. You will find nothing higher.

It's both

In a sense I don't struggle with friends because I'm so introverted I don't keep them. I enjoy my own company more than that of any other human. Many people don't understand such a lifestyle. The struggle was three-fold: Simply learning to be social at all Getting over my insecurities and limiting beliefs that any hot girl would want to date me Learning how to flirt and attract women When I started I had big problems with all three.

That's cause in Europe ya'll have been disarmed and pussified by soy-drinking communists Here in capitalist Murica -- land of the free -- we have more guns than people, and a mass shooting once a week.

When you are a movie star or musician you can literally be a dwarf and you will still get mad pussy. Need I mention Tom Cruise or Peter Dinklage? I didn't say you can't get hot girls being bald. You can and I have. But it's still a disadvantage compared to otherwise. When I attract a hot girl I don't do with my looks or money or status. I do it with the inner and outer game I've developed. You can find plenty of examples of short guys dating super-model girls who are taller than them. Your mind just ignores those counter-examples because it doesn't fit your shit inner game victim mindset. Again... your mind doesn't care about truth here, all it's interested in is rationalizing your victim complex. Be ware of how your mind plays tricks on you. That's insecurity in a nutshell.

Lolz That's your absurd idea of me. You might as well have photoshopped my face onto Arnold Schwarzeneggar's body. That's what you've done in your mind because you idolize me. The truth is that I have been insecure my whole life, I've struggle enormously with being social and attracting women. When I attract a hot woman, she has no idea who I am or how much I make. Yes, I'm 6'2". But... I don't have a square jaw. I'm not classically good-looking. I'm skinny. No girl gives a fuck about my spirituality, knowledge, or wisdom. She has no idea how much money I make and I never tell her. I can be socially awkward. I'm highly introverted and don't like small-talk. 1000s of hours of work went into making me dating-material. And much of it was invested into improving my inner game.

@Striving for more It is impossible to understand attraction through theory. You must go and test it in the field. Go attract 100 girls and see how it works. Until then you won't understand it.

Not true. You can be a farmer while conscious that your farm and the people it feeds are imaginary. You can dream consciously. That's the point of enlightenment. There is nothing wrong with dreaming. The only problem is when you get so lost in your dreams you forget they are dreams.

If JP ever truly comprehended nonduality there is a good likelihood he might kill himself. So for his sake perhaps it's best he never discovers it.

Happiness is consciousness-contextual. You can only be unconditionally happy if your consciousness is advanced enough to allow it. Otherwise you will have various conditions, and your conditions will depends on your consciousness. If you are stuck in material consciousness then your conditions for happiness will be material. Again, since you are God, you are imaging/creating the conditions of your own happiness -- but you're not conscious enough to know how you're doing it. For example, if you say: "I can't be happy without X" -- then you cannot be happy without it.
