  1. You don't have to be so hard on yourself, especially when you have fewer alternatives. Even moving your hand to the left instead of right could kill a bunch of people.
  2. I would say an intention or curiosity or desire to know who I am or who God is will push us towards a direction that helps us to know about the truth. The tools may be different, what is necessary is to be in flow with our being. One way or the other, it will lead towards the truth, but going against the flow and ignoring the tools coming towards us may push us away.
  3. Here's a positive documentary about food in India with some flavours of spirituality.
  4. Life is not always hard, in my opinion. It's extremely hard when we first encounter obstacles, then our mind gets used to the obstacles, and we feel less stressed. Even the obstacles are not permanent, we overcome it someday, in one way or another. It's extremely important to realise the impermanent nature of life or the state of our mind, and not take extreme steps when we are in the hard phase of our life. The struggles will continue till we understand what is actually better for us and what is not. The outside world sometimes helps to understand our limits as well as discouraging our innovative or radical ideas. It is important that we have a sense of what is good and what is bad within our mind. Until then, it's not good to ignore cues from the outside world entirely and self doubt serves the purpose of creating a feasible plan for our future as well as our ambitions. There are certain things which seem always right to do, and encouraged by Spirituality, such as being kind, compassionate, grateful and selfless, open minded etc. Practicing these characters do not require any approval from the outside world as they always seem to be the right thing to do, and always seem to reward us, in one way or another.
  5. This is really an interesting way to spend time in YouTube. I was doing a similar kind of thing earlier. But, instead of watching documentaries, I used to choose a random country and look at different vlogs created by random tourists of locals for that country. That provided a good virtual traveling experience. I think watching documentaries would provide an in-depth look into the cultures of the vast wide world that we haven't explored even one percent. If you have trouble choosing the countries, here is a random country generator: https://pickerwheel.com/tools/random-country-generator/ I would personally prefer a visit to a different continent each week to add diversification to our views.
  6. I wouldn't say too much, but, yes, degradation of women and lower castes is definitely a problem here.
  7. You can pursue experiences. It doesn't necessarily mean anything new or exotic. It's just everyday experiences with being more mindful towards them, combined with a passion to look forward for new experiences.
  8. Mostly it's true that everything becomes better and not new with the high end models, but here are some features that your particular model offers new: 1. Water resistance 2. Face id scanner 3.5g network compatibility 4. Latest android system, meaning more features ( but barely noticeable) My personal opinion is that, if you don't need these features, and not a heavy phone user,you don't need a flagship phone. I am a heavy smartphone user, I have hundreds of apps installed in my phone and my phone costs something around 250$ bought before 2 years. I have faced no lags ( except when storage space gets full) and even gaming and multi tasking is good. ( Provided I don't switch between more than 3 apps at a time). I would suggest you to buy a new phone every 3 years simply for the security updates, but not specifically a flagship phone. If you don't need any lags in performance, you should look for: 1. A good processor 2. 8 gb ram or more 3. Atleast 128 gb storage space 4.5g compatibility I think you could get all these for around 300-400 dollars or even lesser.
  9. It's true that Street food vendors and many hotels have unhygienic practices, but you can survive easily if you use Google reviews to check the restaurant quality. Restaurants that are too cheap usually don't have hygienic practices. Also, eating spicy foods may aggravate the stomach. High quality hotels mostly don't use heavy spices Another way to survive is to cook the food yourselves by buying the ingredients at super market or eat food at Western outlets like McDonald's.
  10. Yes, otherwise atleast half of the population would have been dead. Congratulations for being resilient everyone!
  11. There are free and powerful photo and video editing and drawing apps rivaling pc softwares. You can use those without any lags. Faster processor improves gaming and browsing lags, especially if the websites are content heavy. Faster startup times. Good quality screen means better viewing experience for movies, videos and general usage. Banking apps require good security. Latest models provide that since OS is updated often. With large ram, you can use multiple apps at the same time without them getting restarted every time you switch. Aiso applicable to multiple browser windows in Chrome or others.You don't need more than 8gb mostly though.
  12. That bias is the reason why. If you ignore them, it's not an issue. But if you give them less respect, you are forgetting that they are humans too.
  13. You don't have to respect the attractive girls more simply because they are beautiful and sexy. In the same way, you don't have to respect them less simply because they are getting unfair advantage. Instead, you can give more respect to those whom you think are not sexy and beautiful. Even if they behave rude, be compassionate with those sexy girls for they may not responsible for their biases as much they are not responsible for their body.
  14. Being lazy is not a problem at all. Being lazy and not contend with the way of life and our laziness is the problem.
  15. The existence of senses beyond our logic and perceptions is a possibility, especially when we are speaking about an universe that doesn't follow our laws. But even within our universe, we haven't discovered everything, but we have made a good list of possible senses that we necessarily don't possess within our discoveries. These include sensing magnetism, heat, fear, danger, etc. But when we discover new possibilities, like the first time we discovered electricity, there will be more senses opened that our logical mind can understand.
  16. It is good in the sense that it increases open mindedness among the society. But coming to individual perspective, it is the same as asking if a male and a female loving and marrying each other is good for the society. You may tell that a matured daughter and father marrying each other may also sound like the same thing, but it isn't. They have an option to sexually love somebody else, but homosexual people don't have any other option.
  17. Evolutionary speaking, it's definitely a deviation from survival. Spirituality speaking, it's a deviation towards unity.
  18. Yeah, lucid dreaming is a fascinating world on its own. I bought a book on lucid dreaming to dwell deeper into dreams, but my intuition tells me to wait for that experience for some more time. I have a habit of keeping the best for the last anyways. But, I had a short period where I had intense highly realistic and detailed dreams where sometimes I had control and the other times the control I felt was just an illusion or I had no control at all. But it was enjoyable with or without control. I think yoga nidra helps to experience and remember such dreams.
  19. Can you explain how it is possible to confirm it with mindfulness? I haven't explored anaesthetics in detail, but it's an interesting phenomenon as well. Regarding memories during sleep, awareness can be independent of memory, but having no memory during sleep simply proves that it cannot be rejected by scientific community that awareness is absent during sleep. But it is impossible to prove it the other way around scientifically as well.
  20. It could entirely be possible that awareness existed within the entirety of sleep, but not registered in memory. This could simply be proved or disproved by studying whether memory functions as a recording tool during deep sleep. I would suggest you to look for such research materials if you are curious.I was, but couldn't find any.
  21. Is this what you are referring to: https://www.aap.com.au/factcheck/monatomic-brain-boosting-powder-is-fools-gold/ Sounds like business.
  22. Intuition seemingly arises from nowhere, without much need for logic, reasoning and other thought based processes and hence free from most biases. Intuition also questions the amount of free will we have. When we let the intuition flow without interfering, it would look like as though we are getting the information from the universe without the need to do any effort. I believe insights arise from intuitions. The belief of I am God is a product of intuition arising after the experience of oneness. But I am not sure if intuition can point to that belief in it's own without the experience itself or some other connected insights.
  23. Yep, has been in my watchlist for years, but still haven't watched it. I have a habit of keeping the best for the last.
  24. Ha ha! Take your own time to do the research since you mentioned you will be staying for months. The old and the popular one is at Coimbatore, Tamilnadu and new one is at Bangalore, Karnataka.
  25. I don't know if Dhyanalinga is there, but they recently constructed a new temple close to Bangalore as well. Roads will be bad in many places, especially in small towns, with the exception of roads connecting major cities. Isha centres are constructed near rural green areas, so definitely the roads will be bad.
