  1. Shinzen is a former monk, who is a meditation/mindfulness teacher. Sadhguru is a guru.
  2. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2022/07/14/ukraine-news-russia-war-live-equipment-losses-putin-nordstream/ Russia deporting Ukranian children to Russia... to brainwash them most likely. When does it get to the point we risk fighting them? When do we stop sitting back out of fear of WW3?
  3. I Understand this completely. As I got more anxious/neurotic in my 20's, I notice the original feelings of beauty I got with music declined and these thoughts about people with my music got more frequent. So I try to listen more to songs that feel meaningful for other ways, rather than just me imagining myself on stage playing them and gaining pleasure only at the thought of playing it well for a crowd lol. Ambient music is good to avoid these thoughts I find. You may not be able to avoid those social thoughts completely, but ambient/ambience music often inspires peaceful/abstract thoughts in me. It's just a case of perfecting mindfulness to know exactly which songs inspire the preferred thoughts. This is why mindfulness is important.
  4. Vegan over 6 years, feel fine. Never get sick. This video is stupid.
  5. None of us, to my knowledge, are cops. If you're a cop in a country like America and so many people have guns and there's so much gun violence, I can only imagine you're fearing for your life very often as a cop. It's easy for us all to sit there and judge. Tell me what level of spiral dynamics my comment is? I'm dying to hear this.
  6. You do realise that psychotic symptoms can make it so hallucinations/delusions become indistinguishable from reality right?
  7. lol
  8. 9-5 is not so bad. I used to work weekends and sometimes finish 9pm and wake up for 8am start the day after. Now 9-5 I see as a luxury.
  9. winkle
  10. The reality is it's ethical enough to bring a child into a reality if you are prepared for it. There will be suffering. But every life that was ever worth living involved suffering and pain.
  11. It's one of the things that concerns me about her though. She's doing work with traumatized and severely mentally ill humans. Mental health professionals that take care of people like this are governed by authority, and their methods and behaviour are kept in check. Therapy and meds handed out are tested and approved. Teal doesn't believe she needs any governing body of people to approve her work, because she believes she has a level of awareness above all people she's ever met... Is this not a reason to be concerned? The documentary may involve sneaky editing, but some of the things she said... she said. There's realities about her situation that are concerning. Again - No conspiracy theories here. I'm not spreading crap. I'm looking at the evidence and seeing reason to be concerned. It's perfectly reasonable.
  12. It's not guilty until proven innocent at all. Like I said. READ MY POSTS! I never said anything was proven, I said there was evidence enough to be concerned. No one is spreading conspiracy theories. I said evidence is there through allegations to be concerned about her behaviour. That's it. I never said anything was proven.
  13. "She's proved her case". No she hasn't lol. How has she proven her case? She may well be right, but nothing has been proven either way. Even without this documentary, it doesn't clear her completely of wrong doing. I'm not spreading conspiracy theories. There's a documentary that hasn't been proven to be devoid to evidence yet, the things she said are questionable, regardless of whether or not she claims they're out of context. Maybe some of them are, but maybe not. There are many allegations from many people of wrong doing, which have not been disproven yet. Read what I'm saying. I'm simply saying there is reason enough to be concerned. It's not a conspiracy theory.
  14. @integral Multiple allegations are not proof, but it's evidence that something may be going on. Remember I didn't say anything was proven, but if multiple people that are not connected to each other are making similar allegations, and those link together with what we've seen on video, then that is reason enough to be concerned. If multiple people who aren't connected are making similar accusations that can be considered evidence. I am not convinced that everything I've seen on the documentary that makes her look bad is purely down to editing, as there are long clips where she's clearly behaving in a questionable way that clearly a not edited I am completely aware of how I'm interpreting this bro. Like I said, I'm not saying anything is proven, but the evidence shouldn't be ignored. My position is completely reasonable. Nothing has been proven, but evidence is there to be concerned. I interpret, you do to, and we all assume and believe when there is no absolute knowledge and I am keeping my beliefs in check. It's interesting she's spending a massive chunk of her time trying to debunk this. Her channel will start to become a drama channel soon enough.
  15. I would never judge people on them, but in regards to my own consumption - There's a big part of me that doesn't like the idea of going on them for the sake of mental health, because part of me wants to be self-sufficient and feel like I can resolve it on my own. If I go on meds, that feels to me like admitting defeat - Like just accepting that I'm screwed and damaged beyond my own ability to repair, and the only thing that will work is a medication that may do harm as well as good. I could accept it in the case of physical health issues, but not mental, unless I was Schizophrenic or something.
  16. Do you not want to use any of that time to help a world that is suffering while you laze about?
  17. Good luck to you bro. Hope your escape goes well. I'd suggest learning to forgive and forget after though. Don't hold on to the grudges.
  18. So we don't disagree too much. We both prefer to find natural solutions rather than western medications. Medications as a last resort basically.
  19. This. I've worked in companies that treat me bad and ones that treat me well. Capitalism involves exploitation but some are businesses are better than others.
  20. Nah, I don't think it's helpful to assign mbti to this stuff. It's more about the individual. I've seen douchebags of all types here. Plus we need plenty of personalities of different types to keep things running.
