I don't think those monks are faking it. They've trained thousands of hours to enter a state of consciousness that has allowed them to transcend suffering. @Yimpa

We're just having a discussion, not fighting. @Princess Arabia

@Leo Gura Can it get worse than literally burning yourself alive with gasoline? I mean if it's possible for a monk to not flinch in a situation like that, then it does seem as though that monk has transcended suffering altogether.

@Leo Gura Do you think this is true? I remember in a podcast Ken Wilber mentioned that monks burnt themselves alive with gasoline and didn't flinch at all. So maybe it is possible to transcend suffering altogether, including suffering brought on by severe health complications.

I look at pain and suffering in the same way. I don't think anyone, including someone who is "enlightened", will not suffer mentally from the extreme sensations of pain that can result from lack of health. @Princess Arabia

I don't think anyone is immune to suffering the extreme sensations of pain that can result from lack of health. @Princess Arabia

@Princess Arabia If you read the article linked to this post, you would know that Sadhguru was suffering from severe headaches for several days. He then checked himself into a hospital, where massive bleeding in his brain was detected.

The point is that a lack of health will lead to suffering no matter how enlightened you are. I think that does need to be said because many people are under the illusion that enlightenment will lead to the elimination of suffering, but that's simply not the case so long as you're surviving as a finite self. @Princess Arabia

so long as you are not using the term to reduce someone to their looks, as if that's the only thing that matters about who they are as a human being, then it's fine to use that word for all practical purposes. @Leo Gura

@Leo Gura do you feel comfortable calling women ugly? Don’t you feel that’s bit of a derogatory term.

how do you typically dress when going out? @Leo Gura

But Owen cook’s dress does? @Leo Gura

@Leo Gura so then why do some of these supposedly successful pickup guys have a wild sense of dress if it were working against them?

@Leo Gura dont some girls like an eccentric-looking guy who dresses like he’s the shit? look at mystery man for example.

Fucking is overrated, isn't it? Even if the girl is attractive, if you don't know her on a deep personal level, then it's shallow. Making love is another manner though, but you'd have to actually know the girl to experience that. @Leo Gura

@Leo Gura Given the hundreds of hours you've poured into pickup, don't you think you have a higher bodycount than the average attractive guy on the street who knows nothing of pickup?

@Leo Gura The point is that if you're willing to work for pussy, you'll get it more often than your average attractive guy.

He still has a higher body count than the majority of guys, including attractive guys. Why? Because most guys don't work for pussy as hard as him. @Leo Gura

Damn, looks like you've spent a lot of time considering the pros and cons of being active on this forum. Are you considering leaving?

@Leo Gura Have you had amazing returns from any of your investments?

@Leo Gura Why have you changed your opinion on the guy?

If Trump is willing to lie about something as ridiculous this, then he obviously doesn't have any problem lying about the election being stolen.
