Someone here

Thank you for saying this . That's basically my point .

You are describing exactly what I said about suffering physically is unavoidable but you don't need to suffer mentally by thinking and concocting stories about your existence which I already said I understand and agree with .

I understand what ralston means even though I haven't read the book. He says your life can be full of stress and proplems but you can dissociate and realize you don't suffer emotionally .and I agree you can transcend emotional suffering to a great degree . But physical? Impossible. If you are hungry you are suffering. And you need to eat or you will die from hunger and rot in hell .

That's totally fine .like I said I have put the horse before the cart by pursuing consciousness work instead of working on basic survival stuff . But you do you . Obviously there is also validity to abandoning marriage altogether and just enjoying your romantic and sexual life as a live in or just changing your girlfriend every once in a while..but that just doesn't resonate with me at the moment.

Reaching 29 next December. I'm not sure what you mean by Karma in this context. But obviously yes I'm not ready at the moment to start a family .I need to fulfil some basic things first In Maslow's hierarchy of needs like financial stability first and foremost. Before I got interested in marriage I was thinking I would simply make money and travel around the world and sleep around with any girls I want . Now that I think about it more deeply I realize its immature path .

The question of what happens after your so called body so called dies. In Christian religion you get judgement by God and either go to heaven or to hell . I'm sure you know that . Yes it's not experience of truth .it's a belief. But the point being made by OP is that he verified the belief by saying "God showed me hell". We're shit out of luck I guess cause God didn't show us . Idk. Ask him. He seems to be confused and can't make sense of what he himself has experienced. But in the end point is that he did experience something.

@UnbornTao keep in mind religion is all about giving absolute final answers to the big existential questions. Religious folks don't like questioning because if they question their religion the entire house of cards will collapse in no time . He literally told you he had an out of body experience and heared a voice which he labeled as God or Jesus that this is the afterlife and this i heaven and this is hell . What do you make of that claim? He didn't prove it to us or others but he says he has seen undeniable poof of it to himself .

@ExploringReality you've got a great heart man. It's disappointing that Leo is so shy and introverted (even in his own "place") to know how to respond with etiquette to such things. And maybe its not shyness but he enjoys being a kind of smug . A very mysterious dude.

@Natasha Tori Maru Yes suffering is totally physical . Sadness is how you feel .it's an emotion that you feel . Caused by chemicals going out of wack in your so called brain.

Suffering Is physical and its synonymous with pain. You step your toe on the bed and it hurts then that's physical Suffering. I flirt with the wrong girl and she kicks me in the balls then that's physical Suffering again

So suffering can't be pointed to because it is in "the mind "? How about pointing to "the mind " 😂? Obviously it's not the head or otherwise suffering can indeed be located in the body which makes your point false . What I just told you twice .

Does that apply to feelings of need and lack or just negative emotions?

What good is that beyond just being a word game? I'm hungry right now and I can point to the place of bad feeling in my stomach. Call it suffering or pain or cheesecake doesn't matter .I have to eat something.

So true. Thanks for sharing Very powerful quote 🙏.

Good job. If it wasn't rare and expensive in India (I had to find a dealer " I would've be addicted to weed as well . As you like but be careful because that's how the addiction started for me and for most people "just one..no big deal ". And then one cigarette leads to the other .

@Carl-Richard and you quit ? Congrats . How Severe was the addiction (i smoke five packs minimum per week)? And how did you quit?

@Carl-Richard First go become addicted to something really deeply then good luck pretending and preaching that overcoming addictions are a piece of cake just because people know that it's not a happy ending at the end of the road of any addiction (unless it's a healthy addiction like reading and learning).

@MellowEd no idea whats that .

Of course night and day difference. But it's hard to communicate the difference. Vaping smells nice whereas cigarettes smell "raw ". Idk like the difference between black coffee and coffee laté . Please don't try a cigarette though. The health consequences are not wroth the rush unless you become addicted like me.

OK but I'm not going to believe anything anyone says without providing any evidence whatsoever. Isn't that fair ? I mean go on YouTube and search for all kinds of mystical shit and weird phenomenon like OBEs and NDEs happeing to people from all religions and all cultures . Who's I to believe?

Can you prove this to people? Did you film it or record it in your phone ? I mean if you can actually showcase a proof of this then that would be quite something isn't it ?

Isn't it true that few months without food and you die ?and few weeks without water and you die ?

Sure bro not a big deal .how can one take you seriously when you think pornography is not a big deal ?

Like I'm in heaven.

@MellowEd yes there are obviously entities and angels and people experience all kinds of paranormal phenomenon all the time .we are not living in a materialistic universe with zero mystical stuff going on . Like you mentioned your out of body experience. But how do you jump to concluison that Christianity or jesus are a true beliefs or even justified?
