@Vibroverse Yeah it's definitely possible. Dreams are a good example. Just last night I had a dream I was hunting nazis in nazi germany, and it felt like a whole new universe. But I had no control over how it unfolded or why it happened

@Vibroverse Is it possible to transport yourself to lord of the rings realms? I'd be down to fight in middle earth if that's a skill I can learn

I wonder how many of those protestors will take accountability for the fact one of those woman violently got into the face of one of the hostess'

This is a useful insight i've been playing with in meditation the past few weeks and I wanted to share my thoughts. I think for many of us, we are motivated by an underlying dissatisfaction with ourselves and our actions/thoughts/feelings arise from this constant sense of dissatisfaction with ourselves and our desire to fulfill ourselves with actions in the world. But the key is to learn to be at peace and equanimous with whatever is present, RIGHT NOW. Whatever is present in your experience right now is really all that matters, so that's what you have to come to peace with. I think developing equanimity with ourselves is a very important skill to cultivate. One trick I've found is to recognize in meditation that our inherent nature as aware beings is equanimous. Rather than TRYING to achieve equanimity with whatever sensations are present, just recognize your own presence (which requires 0 effort), and notice how this sense of presence is inherently undisturbed. As this presence you are equanimous. I think this is a great way to develop equanimity and i've had a lot of success with this mental shift. It's all about recognizing our own aware presence, and the noticing that inherent in ourselves is a sense of equanimity. Beware that it may seem like you are not inherently equanimous at first, but you are probably used to clinging to and avoiding sensations of the body, so there will be a certain habit pattern to become aware of that may prevent this understanding from being seen clearly. Let me know if you have thoughts, questions, or criticisms

@lostmedstudent Hey I thought i'd reply here to your comment here. Things are going pretty well. I've recovered from rock bottom, and I'm making some good progress with meditation and trying to be happy. I've realized how important it is to just become more conscious of our own sense of presence/being. The whole path of enlightenment is very simple, it's all about our own presence and resting in this spac.e

@Nahm Thanks. Yeah, this seems like a major turning point

Someone I know has been missing since last night after she went on a date with someone from facebook dating. Her mom dropped her off at the date last night, and no one has heard from her since last night. Her phone is off too. Does anyone have experience with this kind of thing? It's pretty disturbing, and I can't really think of good ways this can end, but maybe this kind of scenario has alternative causes than she got targeted by a psycho or something

Who is responsible for addressing the toxic elements of stage green? I was browsing a dating app, and I noticed a woman who was a higher up at an indigenous research organization, but she had something about being on the same page about ACAB (all cops are bastards). This is such a nonsense statement, but it got me thinking about how to check this kind of toxicity. It seems like a lot of people like to dismiss stage green criticsm as coming from below not above, but in cases like the above how can a person challenge this kind of rhetoric.

So you believe that all cops are bastards? It's literally a hateful statement, and it polarizes and incites people who aren't already in alignment with your ideology. 100% about agree about red pillers and SJW's. Plenty of judgment and hatred on both sides of the political divide

I think she ended up staying over at the guy's house or something, and she said she lost her phone an uber

Wow, that is pretty close to some of the glimpses i've had on LSD. It's never been that clear and indepth/detailed, but that almost felt like I was on a psych

@Illusory Self Rip it like a bandaid and just end it. Don't give prolong this because you will just dig yourself a deeper hole. If you are already second guessing this after a few dates it's not going to get better with time.

@peanutspathtotruth I made an appointment with an IFS therapist in a month from now. I'm really excited to start this path, the way IFS conceptualizes healing is very promising imo. I can list like 5 different parts of myself off hand and I've barely even started with IFS

Mohammed is an example

If we had a conscious dictator we wouldn't have these problems

She is okay @Arcangelo

@halo It's possible that if you didn't notice any major shift that maybe it didn't open fully. There are definitely energetic sensations or emotions that once felt into can completely transform your perceptions

@The White Rabbit False alarm she is safe

@Breakingthewall I'll keep this in mind the next time I trip thanks

@Windappreciator Because he has no peace or happiness.

@mandyjw Ok so what would you say if your son/daughter said mom I'm going to go and have 8 kids by 8 different people. You would say honey there are no mistakes so do what you want? There are no mistakes. What can you say against that?

@mandyjw Well I guess I do view relationships competitively, but I don't think that's a bad thing because I think dating is competitve. See, I disagree with you saying there are no mistakes in dating. If a woman/man were to go out and have 6 kids with 6 different men/woman, that would be impact their dating prospects in a negative way. That is a mistake that I want to avoid.

@Breakingthewall I don't think so, but i'm not sure maybe there's something i'm lying to myself about but I don't know what it is. I definitely have repressed parts/emotions and I am ashamed of myself to some extent I guess. How do I cleanse myself of lies?

@Windappreciator I feel bad for guys that are this smart but have no wisdom

@Meditation I am. But I am not satisfied with myself. Thoughts?
