I thought you said it's all absolute love ?

@CreamCat I'm not sure. I mean it's already become a Russian-Iranian colony, as they own the exports of the country, and the governing 'gang' (Assad) still exists at least theoretically as they owe huge debts to both Russia and Iran. On the other hand, Turkey was waiting a long time to get rid of the Kurds, then it had to deal with the refugees, a problem which it wasn't really expecting since Turkey supported the rebellion against Assad. The way I see it is that after 9 years Turkey has failed to remove Assad so it's given up on that and now is trying to get back to the original plan, that is the Kurds. I expect that the situation between Turkey and Syria will get back better after both are done with the YPG. I think Erdoğan will finally find some way to clean up the mess he'd made with Assad.

I'm really curious, how does Turkey cover war expenses with such bad economy? You mean the country? Or the government? Or the people?

I think ideas that have no practical use are mental masturbation. It would be a lot better to use the terms "God" and "devil" in the context of helping people getting over their ignorance and suffering, not for the sake of debating ideas. After all, where is the line between God and the devil? You're free to draw the lines however and wherever you want.

Is this a good thing or a bad thing?

@MsNobody The game isn't fair to neither of men or women. One of the inequalities is the hardships that men go through only to get laid i.e. only to fulfil their needs. And it's not men's fault that women ask for high standards. Do you know how painful it is to get rejected over and over again? Women in general don't have that problem. For women, getting laid is a piece of cake and they have the luxury to pick almost whomever they like or find attractive to have sex with. So that's one point for women. On the other hand, there are certain loopholes in a lot of women's minds and they can be manipulated, whether the man or the woman are conscious of them or not. And there are some other loopholes in a lot of men's minds that women are always manipulating whether consciously or unconsciously, and women are generally inconsiderate of men's emotions. So, as long as the game is unfair to men, I think it's fair to boost our chances with some psychological tricks. The game is so skewed to women's side, at least in the getting laid department. And I'm not blaming women, we're all victims to society's problems and to survival. The point is that Leo is advocating to balance that problem out, that is through successfully getting men's needs met, while at the same time being responsible and not hurt women in the process. Or at least, that's how I see it.

It seems like you're so in love with him, it's apparent in how you are exaggerating some little positive things about him and undermining the negative ones. I would be very careful making any serious decisions prematurely. Whatever you think right now, it's your heart, not your mind, and for proper judgement the heart alone isn't enough, you need your mind as well.

Of course, I mentioned earlier that morality and the authentic self can match sometimes, they certainly don't have to be opposites, but even that would not make me moral, I would still call that authenticity. For example: Let's say you are an incredibly giving person, would you call that character a moral? I wouldn't, since morality requires you to go out of your ways and behave as such. Morality in this case would be to stop giving or to give only to a certain group of people or creatures. In short, the difference between morality and authenticity when they match is whether there are external rules applied or not.

When you've had enough sleep and it's time to wake up, probably around 6 in the morning ?

@Leo Gura I think we're still getting over (let's call it) the minion phase of human development. And I think you're doing a very good job at facilitating that. Thank you ❤️

LMFAO ? You're the devil ?

I think she's going through some really tough times. If I were you, I would try to be supportive to her as much as I could. I think that will reflect positively both on your individual growth and on your relationship with this girl.

It's like flying/flowing I would say.

Add me on the list. I'm way too slow for society.

What costs more? Raging a war or containing the immigrants? I think it's obvious what's going on in there. It's the same old 'tribes' thing. The Turkish tribe is invading and killing the other weaker tribes.

I agree with the replies that ask for more information. It's really difficult to give advice on how to fix your problem without seeing it first. A general advice won't cut it for you just as much as a doctor cannot diagnose and treat you over the phone.

Sounds great! I hope I could reach similar levels of confidence. If I were you right now, I would immediately start dropping hints with the ladies I meet about getting laid. Hell! I would possibly even say it directly. Women, generally speaking, love a bold guy and they become more agreeable in his presence (kind of like hypnosis lol). However, if you don't feel comfortable saying it directly, you can still go with the hints. Those hints usually turn on most women, so they will start sending you back more hints and eventually they might even ask you to sleep with them but don't place much hope on that, hunt for yourself as well. With trial and error it's possible to perfect this approach, and from what you have written, it seems like the best position for training. Good luck!

I think authenticity is the way one would normally think or talk or act without being concerned about other people's opinions and without worrying about the consequences. I think it's a state of complete self expression. Examples: human kids, dogs, and trees.

The difference, in my opinion, is that the ego does not exist. What do I mean by that? I mean that the ego seems to be a mere concept that is used excessively in spirituality. It's more like a pointer to something that resides in one's subconscious mind or shadow, or something that causes suffering as a result of being blindly selfish and unconscious. Therefore, I think it's better to use the concept 'ego' as a revealing light for discovering and uncovering old patterns and traumas. I think open-mindedness for a student combined with the concept 'ego' used by a skilled and experienced teacher can help growing the student massively in the healthiest of ways.

This made my day! ? Thank you.

I don't think practicality works well in those paradigms. Time (duality) is a practical concept, if we're to collapse it on itself (non-duality), it would lose its value and become meaningless.

Hmmm let's see... To me, morality basically means inauthenticity. When I am 100% authentic, morality does not exist whether it matches my authentic self or not. To make morality universal would mean to make the whole world inauthentic, which seems to already be the case. We have different systems for judging aka different moralities, and yet they all share the same aspect of inauthenticity. Now the question is why is inauthenticity important? Why do we need to be inauthentic? Why does morality exist?

I'm not a lady, but it works well for me to use open-ended questions, and if you're on the answering side try to answer more vaguely. The key is to intentionally not be conclusive, because, obviously, a conclusion means the end of the conversation.
