It's like we're covered with spider webs over here. I just don't get it. This environment is not original, nor genuine, nor creative, nor conservative, and nor progressive. It's a dying man smoking cigarettes, and a dead woman wearing make-up. Brains like stones, and beating hearts with no souls. A disease-generating disease. So lame, yet with genius levels of evil. So low in quality, yet still existing and persisting. No will and no power. No fuel and no fire. That's what happens when you spend more than 15 minutes on Facebook. You realize how fucked up everyone around you is. Where's it heading towards?

Set your agendas aside.

Anything would look stupid from a higher perspective. And vice-versa. I like the idea that God is a neutral thing that we shouldn't be attributing qualities to. So, instead of saying God is infinitely intelligent, it's better and more accurate to say that the ego is infinitely stupid. Cause of the limitations imposed on God by the ego-mind.

@xxxx Forgive yourself for not being able to forgive yourself.

LMFAO! ????

Lol that's funny! The truth is created by thought, and discovered by awareness.

I don't know about you. But I personally prefer not having any concerns at all, at least at this point in my life. Maybe in the future things will change, maybe we'll exchange positions, I don't know. What I do know is that we don't get to choose either way, so these questions are nonsensical.

Concern is the only real problem. All other problems are tangents of it.

I think your actual question is whether life can ever be problem-free. And my answer is of course not. Whatever you do, whatever ideologies you adopt, and whatever the degrees of sophistication and nuance you may reach in thinking and understanding, you will still face problems EVERY.SINGLE.DAY

The happiest age is right now.

@Someone here Not only you look like one of my close friends, but you actually sound like him. A LOT! Ha!

You will find it EXTREMLY annoying until you realize, due to lack of sex, that that's been just your ego tricking you the whole time.

@Stakres I know this is probably the most used up cliche ever, but you just need to surrender and accept yourself as you are. Remove the thoughts that tell you that you are missing something, because they're untrue. So just ignore them if you can, or in case you can't, investigate them. Easier said than done though.

Ooookay. So this is a simple illustration of how I perceive addictions to work. I want to make a few general points, and then I will discuss different strategies and solutions: I like to make a distinction between what I call "positive cycles" and "negative cycles". What that means is that there are two categories of addiction; addiction to doing stuff (positive, e.g. porn, drinking, video games) and addiction to the avoidance of doing stuff (negative, e.g. overthinking, introvertedness, losing presence while doing stuff). Positive addictions are rooted in neurosis. Negative addictions are rooted in resistance. Both of which are rooted in fear, of course. The cycle of addiction applies to/can be used to understand and heal: OCDs, perfectionism, neurosis, psychological suffering, depression, anxiety, relationships and attraction, boundaries, self-esteem, self-image, self-love, and others. The cycles are not necessarily pathological. In fact, it's how humans operate in general. The cycles are made of energy, in various degrees. More patterns = less remaining energy. Make sure that you know where you are putting your energy in. There are several ways that I have found to dismantle that cycle. Some ways are proactive, and others are more passive. But the general rule of thumb is mindfulness/awareness, of course. The purpose of the cycle is to keep repeating itself. That's how it keeps itself going. The three main anchor points make it hard for it to break. However, through proper understanding, we can use the model to achieve desired outcomes. (1) One way for breaking the cycle is to block the flow at any point. There are different variations for this; For example, stopping the pattern will block the flow. And then, energy will accumulate in the other two anchor points and on their pathways. So, if you stop doing any addiction, you will have thoughts that tell you to do it. If you don't listen to the thoughts, you will feel certain sensations that won't go away until you follow through again with the cycle. Doesn't matter where you make the blockage. You can ignore the thoughts, but then you will feel sensations that won't go away until you return to the pattern. If you keep ignoring the thoughts, you will end up going back and forth between patterns and sensations. You feel the urge, and you immediately act on it. On the other hand, if you somehow block the sensation, for example by distracting yourself with something else, you will have unconscious thoughts that will eventually lead to and manifest in the form of the original patterns. You can also interrupt the cycle at the pathways between any two anchor points: You can interrupt the pattern-thought pathway (unconscious) through being mindful of the thoughts that accompany the patterns. You can interrupt the thought-sensation pathway (emotion) by understanding and taking ownership of your emotions. You can interrupt the sensation-pattern pathway (conscious) by being present while experiencing the sensations and by developing more bodily awareness. All/any of that has to be done with awareness. Otherwise, there won't be any progress. (2) Another way for breaking the cycle is to overdrive it at any point. There's not much to say here other than what's been said above. If you do anything in excess, it won't be as desirable as it was before. Desire is always doomed to death. Whether you allow/feed it or block/deprive it, is irrelevant. Again, awareness is key. (3) Another way for breaking the cycle is creating other cycles. Or what I call "comparative awareness". This has to be done consciously as well, or else it will add up to the problem instead of fixing it. You replace the current unwanted cycles with others that serve similar purposes. That'll make it easier to detach from either cycles, and you will have the luxury of seeing the cycles playing out from a meta perspective. ..... Will contemplate more and see if I can add more insights.

@MrBON It doesn't matter what you call it. What matters is how you make her feel. If you can't make her feel safe and protected with you, you won't be able to attract her. Arrogance is simply overconfidence. And not only girls fall for it. It's the arrogant person first and foremost, and then a lot of naive people.

Educate yourself more about sex and how to turn women on. Plenty of information online. Go to gym and get in shape. Don't get ripped though, but just get your abs into good shape and you'll be on fire. That's it.

You can certainly, but hardly, get a girl without these, just by cold approaching every girl you find attractive. Although it would be more challenging to keep her around without that whole package. Will understanding that affect your attitude positively? Maybe most girls prefer their guy taller than them, but so what? It is what it is. The question is what are you going to do about it? Even if you have 1% chance of scoring, it will turn to 0% if you don't become proactive about dating.

@Rilles Ha! And I thought I was alone lol. Thank you for the spark, and best of luck there! You won't regret it. ..... Dancehall music, and SP! Such a unique voice and a great talent that never gets old and only gets better with time. The way he creates the lyrics is just beyond human! Of course, I'm not talking about the depth of the lyrics. That's not the important part. It's how he turns the lyrics into music. He sets the lyrics to the beat, and brings every dead beat to life. Sometimes, he literally locks it. Just incredible! Doesn't matter the message, serious or fun. Focus on the music generated by the lyrics. That's what I like most about Dancehall music. Jamaicans have such a way with the lyrics that you can't help but surrender to the Riddim. People who care about the meaning don't know what they're missing out on. And honestly, I find most of the "deep meaningful" songs to be full of shit and word salads. And even then, there's no good rhyme. So what's the point of singing? Can't they just leave the music alone? Do they really feel the need to ruin it with their

Remember to be.

She said that there will be a huge discovery regarding cancer research, and that the gap between the rich and poor will diminish greatly. We'll see about that.

I'm 5'8, but I once dated a 6' overweight woman. We both were non-judgemental.

@Inliytened1 @SamueLSD @Someone here @Fran11 Thank you guys, I'll contemplate your questions and answers.
