The biggest question of all time to me is this. This question, to me, is the Mother of all questions. The question that so few asks. The question that I think would answer every other existential question especially the one about why are we here. Here goes: WHY DOESN'T ANYONE MAKE IT OUT ALIVE. This question can be asked in different ways but the essence of it's nature remains the same. Why do we appear to die. Why is there a limit on the human life. People will answer these questions correctly (maybe), and still believe they are someone in a body. Still believe they are in control and still believe they have a life, a purpose, and a reason for being here. That's how deep this thing goes. We stress on the secondary issues like life purpose and meaning but tend to not want to talk about death and why we die. Some might say, why focus on that. Just live. We can't control when we die.....but still believe they're controlling how and when they live. How convenient that life gives us control over certain things but not others. Who makes those decisions. I can't control my heartbeat but I can control what I say and do on a daily basis. Seems like it's the dying humans that have decided what they can control.

Whatever THIS is, it's so annoying. I wish it would just disappear sometimes and stop with the appearing and disappearing, appearing and disappearing. Sometimes I wish nothing existed and all there was or is is a fucking black out in existence and everything was just a friggin' blackness of a whole with no one and nothing in it. That's the case for real but it just keeps on appearing as something. Can you just stop appearing period. Take a chill pill and rest. Go to sleep or something. Geesh, or start appearing as something that humans like and stop with the anti-human bullshit.

What is false Truth.

No one knows anything. This is just some yogic bullshit someone made up to sound oh so divine and different from the rest. Those who speak - are speaking. Those who do not speak - are not speaking.

Truth is whatever the heck is happening. If one questions or ponder truth, that's also truth. Truth is also you critiquing those who question and ponder truth. Truth is all there is and it's staring you in the face. All you're doing is talking about people talking about and pondering truth. That's the fucking joke. Can't escape truth. Truth is what is.

@koopsThis is the problem with the terms conscious and unconscious and the human rating system. Just because people drink, it doesn't make them unconscious and you any more conscious because you don't. Actually, if you were conscious enough as you're inclined to think based on your statements, you'd recognize that there's no difference between anything and it's only the mind that makes these distinctions. It's fine to make distinctions in life; but when in the same breath we're speaking about whose unconscious and conscious, it's just empty statements. You doing what you're doing Spiritually will land you in the same place as those doing crack, or drinking booze everyday. The only difference is how you will feel throughout your life which is exactly what you're seeking - a feeling just like the addicts. Everyone is. Contents are different and how they go about it. Makes no difference in the end.

@koopsI knew you would get defensive but I stick by what I'm saying and you're entitled to do the same. There's a difference between quitting what you think is bad for you and doing something else to make you feel better and putting others down for doing what they're doing and comparing it to your new found life and saying you feel sorry for them. That's the point I'm making and your comment was doing exactly what I stated. If I go to church now because I used to go to bars and live a ratchet lifestyle, it's only better for the person involved and their perception of how they view it. Saying I feel sorry for people that go to bars and drink and are destroying their lives because now I'm in the church is putting myself on a pedestal in comparison to them. You did that only with different content. Also it's not that you have biases, we all do, it's that you have put others down because of theirs. I'm not trying to put you down, I'm making you aware that no one thing is better than the other but how the individual sees it. So if I see my going to church better than going to a bar that's OK, but saying I feel sorry for those who go to bars is where the comparison comes in and shows you think you're in a better place than them and that your choice to change outweighs their decision to do what they choose.

If a normal person did that, they would be considered crazy. Nothing special about some man in a diaper in the snow rolling around with wolves. Go put on some clothes so you don't freeze to death.

You don't realize this but this right here is slavery. Mental slavery. Needing to be one way over another. It's not freedom to want anything and to want to be a particular way. It's even worse seeing others being and criticizing and feeling you're better off than them. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying you should feel or be any other way, I'm just pointing out that there's nothing more special about you wanting these things because they are only of the mind and what it thinks will make for a special life over any one else's. There's no such thing but only in the delusional mind of the individual that thinks it's a separate being. I might even be the same way in some things differently than what you're describing but at least i won't pat myself on the back thinking I'm any better than a drug addict if I'm addicted to meditation or mindfulness or self actualizing. It's just different ways of coping with the feeling of separation. That's all both are. Don't kid yourself.

All you did was transferred the addiction to another. One needs something to cope, to attach to and to use so foes the other. The mind is what's making the distinction to which one is better than the other. The fact that you look down upon and feel sorry for people who drink beer and are enjoying life VS you being attached to your rituals and being hooked on them while not being free to do what the hell you want without fear of anything doesn't make you any better than them. This is why I turn away from spirituality and just see life for what it is because spiritual people think they're any better than those who aren't.

Why was I given a warning point by @NoSelfSelffor expressing my opinion on a certain thread that I deemed to be racist and sexist. All I said was this thread seemed racists and sexist. The warning was also about homophobia and I'm not even sure how that word played into this as no one mentioned anything about gays. If I thought a post sounded racist and sexist and expressed that, why am I getting a warning . This particular moderator has been trying to give me points and silence me before and has been disrespectful to me on occasion just for speaking my mind or commenting in a respectable matter but just because he personally doesn't like the way I communicate. At this point I'M FEELING BULLIED by this moderator and I am asking for some type of action to be made because it's not the first time. I've had to endure his abusive style of communicating to me on a few occasions which i ignored but I feel like this warning isn't justified and feel it's getting a bit personal with him. Other mods could you please look into the matter and I saw no other way of dealing with this than to start a thread. I also wanted to publicly come forward because I'm getting sick and tired of this particular moderator's actions and how I believe he is overstepping his moderator's privileges and over abusing it. The thread was by @Hardkill about angry men and women and the way the colors and sexes are viewed when they express anger. Maybe he is right as I am getting a warning point for my expression as a black woman and the attempt to silence me and my opinions.

The facts speaks for themselves. This is not about black VS white crime its about whose more of a threat to the whole population. Black crime is USUALLY in house and amongst each other. When you look at the stats for serial killers and mass shooters what do you see mostly. They are more of a threat to the whole world.

A white gangster convict was just elected President so I don't really care what anyone says about black women and their anger. It goes to show how white men are looked at differently in this stupid racist and misogynist society. My point was to show how the real criminals to the whole population are getting away with their crimes and the ones we deem as criminals are usually only a threat to their own people. At this point, i don't know what's OK to say, so if this is a racist statement so be it.

You need to give yourself a warning point. Warn yourself that God will come down and strike you for giving him a warning point.

Silly

I was being sarcastic. Neither one is. Nowadays it seems just the mentioning of race is racism.

I dgaf what something sounds like. If a white person says they fear a black man in an elevator with a hoodie and a bulge in his pocket I personally would not consider that a racist statement. If it was said that they fear all black men in an elevator then yes. You guys aren't seeing the difference.

THAT IS NOT RACIST. Ok, I'm afraid to communicate on a forum because I'm afraid a white mod might give me points. Is that a racist statement.

Now you're throwing personal insults. Calling my standing up for myself emotional and petty. If you'all don't see this as personal and insulting and also sexist I don't know what is. It's so fucking obvious where your mindset is and I'm just the scapegoat for you to set your examples through. Your comments alone in the dating section says it all.

No, but if you say you're scared of an Asian woman in an elevator because she might karate you is.

You could have also messaged me about my statements also. What were you going to do, but what you're doing here. Justifying. I'm not going to privately message you about some stupid warning point I don't think is justified. If I'm wrong about that then I'm wrong. I'm not looking to be even just to not be a scapegoat for someone else's wrath.

No, it's OK. OP's point in the thread mentioned is being played out.
