Definitely. People like Destiny are just stirring in the opposite direction. That's the paradox of Hate. As soon as you hate it, you become it.

This is exactly what I was speaking on. Destiny is so bought into this "Trump is Hitler" thing that he is literally joking and could care less about someone getting shot and killed at a rally. I'm disgusted. Our country is sick right now and we've all been poisoned by Hate. Trump is just the mirror.

And I mean that regardless of who you are or political affiliation or anything. Just seems like a very dangerous meta-trap of the mind.

I would agree with that. It just seems like that way of thinking is dangerous itself and is such a slippery slope into incredibly devilish behavior, all justified by "doing the right thing."

Exactly. Any evil against Trump is justified by your ego-mind so long as you think and view him as another Hitler.

It takes a while for blood to reach the spot of a gun shot wound. It's like when you get cut, you don't immediately bleed - it takes a second. When I have hunted mule deer in the States it is the same. You can shoot a perfect vital shot into their lungs and heart and they will run very far before bleeding.

I always thought the trump hate and political persecution would only popularize and martyr him more. This event is going to do just that, on an Incredible level. It’s also going to piss a lot of people off.

I wish they at least let RFK on the stage. His answers have been incredible here: http://www.therealdebate.com/

After my recent breakup, I knew I needed a change. So, I have decided to commit to a solo international travel journey, first to Bali, Indonesia - Then to somewhere in Thailand, and then possibly India or Vietnam after. Has anyone here solo-traveled internationally before? I would love to hear your thoughts and suggestions if you have. I'm excited, a bit afraid, and also deeply called to take this trip. I know it will be worth it for the growth, and who knows what cool experiences and people await me. It quite literally feels like the next step on the path to the evolution of my soul. It feels quite mystical, like I'm "supposed" to do this. Thank you in advance for any tips. Cheers!

I agree. Cue dad bod phenomena.

You guys, apartments in Thailand are like $500-$600 for a month, and they are insanely nice with a pool / gym included. WTF!? In the states your lucky if $600 a month gets you a crack head apartment. Lol!

Ahahaha! If it was green I would smoke it 😉

Yes exactly. I was living with my parents back at my hometown I was absolutely at my wits end. I had to go. Now, I can’t even explain how I feel and it hasn’t even been a week. I feel free.

Yes! That’s on my agenda! Snorkeling and swimming with manta rays, going to be so cool 😁

Going to Thailand next! I’m thinking Phuket, Ko Pha-Ngan, or Chiang Mai. Chiang Mai interests me the most because of the history and old Buddhist temples there. Would be so cool to see.

Definitely can get you out of a depression. To add some deliberate challenge is good for the mind. And I think it’s attractive to girls because it’s an indication of discipline, good hygiene, and fertility. I doubt many girls are actually attracted to 6 packs and muscles. Although some may.

Also if you are legit into the sport side of lifting like powerlifting or Olympic lifting then I see that as a different thing than straight gym rats. I could see the benefit of challenging yourself in that way especially if you are already really strong and have a knack for it. I need to stop make brash generalizations, lol. But yeah, definitely something weird happening culturally there in the gym, seems the past 10-20 years it’s really exploded in the west.

About to head the gym in Bali, and I agree with a lot of points here. Definitely a difference between a gym rat and someone who is going to stay fit and keep everything in proper order and running smoothly. I used to be a hardcore gym rat in high school and it was 100% insecurity masquerading as strength and macho-ness. Now I go to "top off" my health and keep everything together. Plus it feels great when you are done, lots of natural endorphins and things are released. If I don't stay consistent I start to feel very frail, weak, and I get weird neck and back pains (had a ton of injuries from playing football in high school, so that's a factor too.) I just find that it's a solid supplement to a healthy lifestyle and diet - but living in the gym and obsessing over macros and body fat % while eating whey protein for breakfast, creatine for dinner, and injecting yourself with testosterone when you're in your 20's is a different thing. Some weird man insecurity thing. Probably why the biggest and most jacked dudes in the gym always act the most insecure.

Awesome, you will love it here. Thank you!

Leo is Truth. I am Truth. Just different expressions of the Absolute. And yes I love it here, the humidity and heat is so nice because where I live in the states it gets so so cold. I needed this tropical lifestyle change! And I’m curious to hear more about your supernatural experience, if you don’t mind? Because I’ve definitely sensed something like that here. Not necessarily a bad energy or good just different in essence. I can feel it.

i plan on living here as long as possible but will most likely go back to the states towards the end of the year, we will see

Here is an excerpt of my journey thus far: Island of The Gods: Bali, Indonesia I have been completely and totally humbled by my experience here in Indonesia. Coming from the states and having never travelled internationally I had no idea what to expect, but I knew this was a spiritual journey I had to take. I was being called and beckoned by the Universe to follow my intuition, even though my ego was creating a massive amount of fear around the idea of going. I contemplated and decided to go anyways. If I didn’t, who would I be? If I can’t even listen to my own intuitions and instincts, then what do I have? Am I even alive? No! I have to honor myself, or else my spiritual integrity will be broken. So I booked a flight. Upon arrival I faced a plethora more of difficult and unpleasant emotions, from anxiety and confusion, to pure existential terror. The ego was really throwing a fit, because this is as unknown as it gets - new continent, new country, completely solo - all firsts for me. But it wasn’t long before those feelings of division and anguish faded. All the years of spiritual practice, of observing and watching my internal environment, and of sinking back into my True Nature of Consciousness paid off. They really did. I see and understand clearly that no border or geographical location can ever change or divide the Unified and Divine Reality that is shining and ever present in all places, things, and beings. No journey or trip, no matter how difficult or far, can change what I Am. We are One. We always have been, and we always will Be. — When you look into the eyes of another being, what do you see? A man or a woman? A young or old person? A certain race or religion? No, you see none of those things. What you see is the One looking back, reminding you of your boundless Truth.

More photos: The hindu influence is strong here. Beautiful architecture. Turtle sanctuary on Sanur Beach walk. Sanur Beach Beautiful sculptures everywhere. We're not in Kansas anymore, Dorothy! 10/10 coffee - and Huxley was a True Mystic. This book is just incredible. If you are into Consciousness or Awakening, You'll love reading this.

Thanks, more coming soon. And I sure did. Luckily they were all in my bed so I could take pictures in peace Thanks @Butters It's incredible here, honestly. I'm going to extend my visa for the extra 30 days and then from there maybe Thailand or Vietnam? I'll probably roll the dice and go with the flow And I am paying around 30.000 to 40.000 for a coffee, much cheaper than the $6 I was spending in the US, so yes - Yay for inflation! Sadly, hopefully we can reunite in my lifetime like the people of Indonesia. They are so together here. No division or fighting. Indeed I will, thank you brother! It's incredible. And not where I am staying but next week I will see some monkeys! I'll make sure to post pictures here

More photos: At the market. Picked up some sunscreen and charger for their native plugs. Clothing like shirts and shorts are only $4 USD per piece here! Incredible statues.
