  1. @mememe Appropriate to do what?
  2. @mememe Don't scare him he is fine.
  3. Her fascial expressions suggest to me a lot of pain... But, Idk. She doesn't resonate as authentic to me. The message is good. Self love, loving what is is the ultimate move. But, has she herself done this? No. I don't know her, but every-time I watch her I feel almost a hidden aggression or something. It's like, she has problems and is suffering but wears the mask of being enlightened. But, It's a good message. Embodying fully what we talk about is the hardest thing. So...
  4. Women not having hair is not necessarily pedophilic. It's more of an 'artificial feminine' as hairlessness is seen a feminie (most women are not thought to grow beards while men do) etc
  5. I don't think there is proof Osho was assassinated. He even tried to commit suicide while at Rajneesh parajm .
  6. Actually, thats a disgusting oversimplification of buddhism. Buddhism contains in it so many aspects of life, society, suffering, etc. It contains many aspects of it which are belief systems. There are many schools of buddhism that range from various aspects. Buddhism is largely about how to live a good life, to stop suffering, to see clearly, to embody reality in a righteous way. Buddha went beyond belief, and maybe even Nagarjuna. There is so much to Buddhism and Tantra to explore. It's an amazing system. I still have much to learn about Buddhism.
  7. I personally think that reading a few books at least of the many books called "The heart of Buddha Teachings" like the one by Thich Nhat hanh is a goldmine. Buddhism is very powerful. Explore it's depth, pull the nuggest from it. I personally love Buddhism and Toasim and because I love them I told you: Renounce Buddhism. I think a lot of us are just saying... it's a finite system and by saying it's the highest and best system, etc you sort of contradict the whole renunciation thing you are saying. So, explore and practice buddhism, Taoism, and other religious and philosophical schools. But when you reach the highest pinnacle.. You Realize it was all your dream. You were God dreaming of a 'Buddha' the whole time. But, You how far you go is up to do. You will 'still be a human' after that and must live life. If you need to insult others. You don't get it.
  8. @Leo Gura Reads one opinion about a complex wicked problem for a few hours during one night.... Yeah, I think I got it. I don't really know. But I do.
  9. So much to learn from the structure of this conversation What is authority? What axioms or criteria or foundations do people have for developing proper epistomology?
  10. Maybe, but there is a larger thing being pointed to here. Some women have beards, and hair on their bodies in general. However, marketing and culture changed the way we see hair in the west.
  11. I will get a book to study conflict resolution as well the the philosophy of law
  12. General Life Purpose Journal. Feel free to comment on and partake in my journey.
  13. We all feel the itch if shenpa. The trick is not to scratch it
  14. Going to contemplate healthy conflict resolution. I have difficult neighbours upstairs who just screamed at me through a door for leaving a note. This resulted in a shouting match. I want to find a way of being truly powerful in those situations. No hurling insults, not physical posturing, not getting emotionally triggered. At the same time I am not a fucking push over or people pleaser and if you gonna scream at me for making reasonable request your asking for a conflict. I am not gonna live somewhere and pay rent and allow you to speak to me that way. Time for contemplation.

  18. Good for getting turnt Can be good when used sparingly for insights, fun, love, creativity and relaxation. I personally find it addictive, and so far it seems I am doing a great job FINALLY quitting.
