Someone here

If this Karma theory of yours is true then we don't have free will and everything (literally EVERYTHING) has been predestined from the get go (from the beginningless beginning). If you increase your consciousness you realize that the idea that we are here as puppets and the puppteer is Karma or God or whatever is downright convoluted belief system that you've picked up from the Buddhist tradition ..and which have zero evidence backing it up . You are saying we can be happy even if the sky is falling apart and your body is being dipped in Lava lol? ...which is another cute spiritual fantasy.

That's an interesting perspective...But you are ofcourse aware that some people have not won the genetic lottery and they are born as starving kids in Africa..how could they "create joy and bliss as baseline " if their stomach is itching them from hunger? You first need to feed them ...give them shelter ..comfort and basic human needs . Of course chasing after sex ..money ..and drugs is a serious trap .to get drunk and snort Cocaine from a hooker's tits and sleep between a prostitute's legs everyday will ruin your life for good . It is counterintuitive in that sense . For me personally..I understand that peace is not found in material goods ..nor is it found as a baseline..I'm going for the middle way . Satisfying your needs then detaching from them when you get sick and tired of em.

@Ishanga to bliss out on nothing like an enlightened ascending zen master you must first fulfil your basic needs . You need food ..money ..bitches..lamborghini..Yachts etc and enjoy the shit out of life before you can even pretend to transcend the material realm and fly off to buffy spiritual lofty land .

Fake it till ya make it ? I agree partially. You have to already feel that your goals are a living reality and not feel a sense of lack . Because if you already think that what you have is enough you will be satisfied. But if you think of lacking nothing will fulfil you ..hedonic adaption and the donkey chasing the carrot. Brilliant! Thanks for sharing and let me know if you want to have a quick Chat on this topic .

Give an example please I don't understand with that mean . You are right . But I sounded too generalizing to encourage people to change their thought patterns. It's just an exaggerating to motivate peeps on here or people who are stuck in victim mentality and think that they don't get what they want in life because the world Is against them .its a form of paranoia. I'm saying you should first change your thoughts ..and changing thoughts will change actions automatically and that will change the results also automatically.

I agree . I don't take anything I say as an absolute fact or an end all be all . I'm just sharing my limited perspective. To me..it's common sense that men priorities looks over personality..and vice versa for women. You are missing something huge. I would say if you are a virgin try hardly to get a girl . Sex is not a luxury. Its essential need for humans . Its in the lowset needs in Maslow's hierarchy of needs. You will become very much happy and optimistic and you will love life if you lose virginity . Just the first kiss will turn your life upside down ..downside up .

@bebotalk I was an incel just close to last year.. before I lost my virginity to some girl in college. We broke up now and not gonna lie im so thirsty for a new girl . I'm not necessarily horny or sexually frustrated but more like I need a feminine energy in my life because I'm living a very crude life and very brutal between college and job . You can only understand incels if you are one of them . They think they will never be liked by an attractive girl . Like i said in OP ..you can easily debunk that belief by actually going out and talking to girls . You will see that all of that incel bullcrap is horsecrap lol. You can easily hook a girl if you learn the dating skills . The only problem with those incels is they think nobody will ever like them without actually trying to approach. Just sulking in their house .

No .There is a asymmetry between what men and women are looking for in each other. Men are mostly visual and they care first and foremost about the sex-appeal of the lady . Because that's what the masculine needs from the feminine. It needs beauty. But the feminine doesn't need beauty from the masculine. It needs confidence and masculine energy. "Looks " are just looks my dude . I don't think you need to open some dictionary to know what that means .

Looks aren't the first priority to girls . Unlike guys . Agree?

@Carl-Richard do you have a gf currently?

What do you mean ?

Yes . "You " have never "experienced " now . This implies a process that requires time . NOW IS IMMEDIATE. cannot be experienced. It just is .

Haha Does it matter? Seriously? Something is going to replace us..may as well be something we made..something of us.. rather than some alien from another planet. But it will most likely NOT be a replacement in emotional and intimate connection for the next century or so . Just my opinion. Fascinating topic btw .

That's fair .👍

@Leo Gura you are not taking me seriously. You don't address all of my points .so I'll leave here .

90% of the time . I have some ethical points against this industry. objectification of women and ruining how males relate to women sexually . Brother ..there have been scientific research done that porn causes physical damage in the brain. Also Social Anxiety. Depression. Erectile dysfunction.etc you can Google it I'm not pulling it out of my asshole . Those are just the beginning. If you are in a committed relationship with another person.. you can do a lot of damage. My Ex experienced massive betrayal and severe depression as well and that's why I lost her . Because she caught watching porno.

Porn is not the issue. But it is an issue .if you can't see that you're fooling yourself.

Lolz Porn can be very toxic. I can't believe that you are pro-porn. You must know better. Dude I've seen some pretty disgusting fucked stuff that you must be joking that porn is "healthy ". Plus you are hypocritical leo .. why did you lock a thread of mine about "who's your favourite female pornstar "? If porn is no biggy? Pffff!

Lucky you . You must be getting sex every other week . Where do you live BTW if you don't mind asking ?

No I do . I used to be one before.

@TheGod oh you speak multiple languages? Sounds too nerdy . Girls don't like nice nerdy Boyz(jk 😂).

Haha it does matter what you say ..if you say "let's fuck " she will slap you in the face if not kicking you in the balls . But in a different language is another story . You can 😅

@TheGod a step in the right direction man. God bless ya

I respect that man 🙏. Well..the spring lol...I'm actually happy that winter is over .I'm always melancholic during windy winter days . Not sure how it is in Europe..but in India its pretty intense.

Good question. Imo Spirituality is about discarding the world as illusory(or not a solid reality that you can hang on ) and turning inward.. to the God within which is the only Reality. But its impossible for the human mind to accept the world illusory..Its (appears ) too real to be considered as illusion. The Mind has been conditioned from ages to always focus on the external world. Spirituality is about shifting the focus of mind from external to God within. Its quite tough for us to do that.
