Holland looks good, what would you say are 3 of your favorite things and three of your least favorite things about living in the Netherlands?@Butters

I think this question is unnecessary... maybe. Although, one insight that you could use here is simply: meekness ≠ weakness. Selflessness can make you incredibly powerful, which is what I'm assuming is at least one aspect of the "edge" you mentioned. Another central insight is the true definition of goodness. There's a secular definition of good and the real definition. Love always wins in the end, and it is dark red.

This one's good..

I am not knowledgeable on this subject so I could be wrong. But I'm pretty sure eating meat harms the body, bank account and global temp.

Assassin's creed Shadows is very good it has Buddhism Christian combo with notes of self discovery, awakening and even actual in game mini mindfulness moments.

The only thing I am conscious of is that I trust my friend

It's a mega selfish move, imagine how bad it would hurt your family

Yeah, this is forgery. Imagine if he was alive, what would he think? Well, actually he would probably just laugh as he does with everything else. But he would for sure follow it up with some chilled out logical point about how this can mislead people. Until such a time as AI is equal or greater than the human brain in its ability to have actual insight, people should not be faking teachers. Cuz you know they're going to kindly forget to put on it anywhere that's it's not the guy himself.

@Emotionalmosquito very emotionalmosquito careful bro, don't let it win. The first thing I'd say is congratulations, you have the ability to speak, what I like to call, truth. I myself have autism, and struggled terribly as a child getting into weed and lots of harmful stuff. Pretty much exactly as how you described, then having negative results when I put myself out there. Lack of calibration, religious dumbass parents, dumbass society, dumbass education, dumbasses upon dumbasses, then you have the dumbasses that punish you and laugh at the autistic kid because he failed. This is the reality of western civilisation. You can't let the anger win, you have to see it as a boss like in a video game, you just gotta decide that your Gona beat it even if you have to conquer the entire world. Take many attempts. Also logic will not serve you in dealing with it. I have reason to believe that carefully orchestrated mdma therapy or even possibly mdma+a basic low dose psychedelic can work wonders like with a psychedelic assisted therapist. You also have the option to move country...it sounds like your American or something. Powerful western countries have a major ego problem and the thing is when they see people who are making genuine efforts, their pride is like a lense that makes them thing that these people are the ones with the real ego. Twisted up, such is reality. You can't really blame them, they're just morons, complete dumbasses, who enjoy hurting autistic kids. They have no perception of the damage they do. Bro, what you have to understand is...these people are children. They have the minds of children, they literally cannot see the damage they're doing to you. So you can't really do much. You won't beat the anger by thinking more, you gotta make an action plan. A simple one could be: move somewhere that has less morons/degenerates. That's a good one. They don't realise that the damage they're doing encourages the very thing they seek to stop. You can't let them force you into hurting people man, rise above their stupidity and find healing. Maybe look into the mdma. If you want I could pop you a private message, I've helped other people through similar stuff. Remember, action and energy is the method. Theory and thinking will take decades maybe never work. Big action. Or big energy. If you don't take big big action, the pain will crush you and you will stay crushed until you die. Don't allow a stable environment for your anger. A controlled amount of destabilisation to gently rebreak the environment to create the demand for the energy to set correctly.

I'm very sure at this point that the physical pictures of hell and heaven (a firey pit and streets made of actual gold) are just symbols. Butttttt, I did see heaven on 5, it looks pretty close to gold. Yellow and very bright

Fuck me sideways, last couple years have been a slog. But just getting massive hastening on my realisation of love. It's kinda like it completely makes sense all at once. Not a god awakening but I know what a realisation feels like and this isint one. Think it's like low level awakening or some shit. It doesent feel right to call in it a realisation, I can feel it's more central and powerful. Maybe it is just a powerful realisation...I prefer the term low awakening. Connotates it better imo.. Sitting meditating in Buddhist temple, vibing. Not hard anymore, feeling the love, it's like something's really clicked for me I'm starting to understand that if you don't have these foundational cores and pillers, progress is doomed. So I got the love thing, not a shit load like with 5 but I can tell, it's more stable, organic, it feels permanent. Like the logical mind has been completely overrided in some respect. I understand why silence is what you see some teachers encouraging...it's not that they're keeping quiet to show how disciplined they are, they don't want to interrupt the flow of their love! This is real nice low awakening. I've found so much value in Buddhism, just cuz it won't get you god awakened doesn't mean it doesn't have some mega powerful methods and teachings for the lower level. Boddichitta, compassion, I really don't know what I would have done if I didn't have Buddhism. So accepting and beautiful. Does anyone have thoughts on Buddhism? I do Mahayana Buddhism ☮️

I personally feel the basic methods are massively underrated in this community cuz we kinda operate on the assumption that your some badass who can just cut all other methods and go for the enlightenment jugular. In reality this isint usually sustainable. Loving others, talking with god (which could fall into the category of prayer loosely), meditation, awakening theory...will these get you enlightened? Hell no. But not having them as a foundation? You'll have a rocket with no launch pad or a poorly calibrated launch pad. 👎🏽
