I now understand that it's one of those things that simply cannot be understood. I've entered the mindfuck zone, there's no coming back.

@Serotoninluv I totally support your view!

@Leo Gura On one end some people say that everything there is is consciousness, on the other end some say the only thing there is is Nothingness. I'm a bit confused here, can you give a quick explanation?

Let's say that I'm sitting on cushion meditating, when suddenly I feel anxious. Should I simply notice the feeling and move on to something else? Or should I investigate that feeling further, trying to determine what is causing me to feel anxious? I'm a bit lost here.

@Salvijus To be honest your participation to this thread so far as been absolute shit Get lost @Tistepiste Thank you for being a normal human being

@Salvijus I have not @Anton Rogachevski Thank you for the answer

@Eric Tarpall You shoudn't expect girls to show interest in you. Girls have nothing to prove to you, nor to me, nor to anyone. If you want a girl to be interested in you, then YOU should be the one taking action first. Live your life according to the 100% responsibility rule. The majority of women are sensitive by nature. If you want to be able to relate to a women, you need to develop your sensitive side. No girls would want a partner who isn't able to understand her. I don't know how to begin with that last paragraph. Your views on women are so animalistic, it's like you don't see them as actual people. Make some effort to jump into the 21st century man. The only thing it will do is change your life for the better, there's nothing to be lost in this.

Actually, if I really think about it real hard, the first thing I would do right when I feel like I'm dying is create a post on an online forum for sure!

Want are you looking for exactly? You want to stop being in bliss?

Think about what you're saying for even 2 seconds... Let me help you review your argument : "I think homosexuality is a coping mechanism that people use when they don't have access to bodies of the opposite sex". What about incredibly attractive homosexuals? An incredibly attractive homosexual guy will have "access" to "bodies" of the opposite sex very easily. The opposite is also true : an incredibly attractive girl will be able to have intimate relationships with guys very easily. "That's why prisoners turn to each other." You're implying prisoners jack each other off simply because there's no women around? No prisoner in existence ever had sex with another prisoner willingly? "I had sex with a male when I was sixteen and I didn't enjoy it." I tried playing football in third grade but didn't enjoy it, so naturally NO ONE ELSE IN THE ENTIRE WORLD will genuinely enjoy football right? Please don't say "bodies" when talking about actual human beings, it sounds very depraved...

@Enlightenment Nirvâna isn't the cessation of consciousness. The definition of Nirvâna is "extinction", the extinction of all desires. When all human desires fade away, all you're left with is awareness/consciousness of the present moment.

This is great, thank you for sharing!

Have you ever taken any psychedelics yourself?

5mg boofed 5-MeO oxalate trip report : Felt nothing except maybe a bit less mind chatter than in my everyday life, and a slightly faster heartbeat. Wanted to start small, was disappointed. Will do 10mg next time.

If I'm not mistaken, the ego takes place in a child's mind when he is about 1 to 3 years old. As he learn to recognize himself in a mirror, he also begins to separate different things into separate different things, as in he puts different labels in his mind alongside different abstract concepts. Is this inception of the ego inevitable? Would it be possible to raise a children in a way that he wouldn't develop this illusory ego?

An insight I'm having right now, this applies to others as well : Why am I thinking about stuff like this? This is just concepts, mental-masturbation. Why am I not meditating right now? Why am I not doing self-inquiry? I'll never reach enlightenment the way I'm on right now! What in the fuck is a single 20 minutes of meditation daily gonna do to me? Absolutely fuck all. Why am I not serious about my practice?! I WANT to be disciplined, I want it SO MUCH. I'm aching inside just by thinking about it. Becoming enlightened should be my absolute top priority goal, at all times. From summer to winter, healthy of sick, hungry or tired, I should have my eyes fucking pointed in that direction. You'd have to be mentally challenged in order not to wanna reach enlightenment! Only a fucking retard would prefer a life of suffering to a a life of eternal bliss. Everything I should do in my daily life should reflect towards that goal. From this day I will make massive efforts to get farther on the path. I'm showing my middle finger to my lazy, waaaaaaaylower self. Let's not meet again.

@Mikael89 The bullshit meter is strong with this one

Of course that isn't something I want to experiment on haha I'm simply curious as to whether this would be possible or not.

Thank you everyone for your replies I'm feeling better now. I simply think it was the emotions kicking in when I wrote the post. I still feel bad sometimes but it's nowhere near the level of last Wednesday.

@pluto @Serotoninluv What about rectal vaping?

Most informative thread I've seen all week thank you very much! Don't do that ever again please. Here, I'll help you : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bahá'í_Faith https://www.bahai.org/ "The Bahá'í Faith (/bəˈhɑːiː, -ˈhaɪ/; Persian: بهائی‎ Bahā'i) is a religion teaching the essential worth of all religions, and the unity and equality of all people. Established by Bahá'u'lláh in 1863, it initially grew in Iran and parts of the Middle East, where it has faced ongoing persecution since its inception. Currently it has between 5 and 8 million adherents, known as Bahá'ís, spread out into most of the world's countries and territories."

How do you plan on getting a sewer system without paying taxes? @Ampresus Yes there are property taxes here. The bigger your property, the bigger the taxes. Have fun doing farming in Kenya Apparently it's not that bad

Apparently organic food isn't always a better choice in terms of health benefits. It all boils down to what is your goal when buying certain kind of food. Figured you guys would be interested in the subject P.S.: these are the sources of the different studies used to make the video : https://sites.google.com/view/sourcesorganic/

Don't worry about us, we'll do just fine. You, on the other hand, need rest
