The shyest girls are the naughtiest on the inside (hence the hottest in bed ), unless she's cold. Shyness is a very attractive feminine trait. It gives the masculine energy the space to manifest and dominate freely. It shows how compliant, yet at the same time naughty, a girl is, in a very sexy way. Vulnerability. It's like the biggest sign on the hook-up highway. I'm guessing the reason why you're not approached a lot is probably because you're not giving off the signals. There are certain dynamics for girls to make guys approach. Could be a smile or eye contact or something else depending on the situation. It's a hunting process, and if you don't offer your lure, then what do you expect?

You can stop thinking about it and just work for no particular reason or purpose other than killing time.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virus "The origins of viruses in the evolutionary history of life are unclear: some may have evolved from plasmids—pieces of DNA that can move between cells—while others may have evolved from bacteria."

Understandable. It's interesting to see it put this way. I'm guessing for him, it probably seems like quite the opposite. But since you've already set your mind on this thing, it's pointless to keep trying to talk you out of it. I didn't like the political subforum in the first place anyway.

I was trying to understand @DrewNows's perspective. Maybe that's what the raising vibration thing is all about because from that point of view it makes perfect sense.

Not that they don't exist, but it's debatable where they come from. One theory suggests that they come from the body itself, not from the environment. And the difference between viruses would be due to the different external forces that make the body release those viruses in response to the environment. So, in this case, the immune system is the biggest factor and distancing oneself from toxic mental environments, such as ones full of fear mongering, would be the best way to protect oneself.

Absolute beauty is another topic entirely though. But yeah I see your point, and I myself am a little bit shaky on the impermanence thing, but how would I ever know? Suppose I lived 10 years in peace of mind, how can I guarantee that would continue to be like that until my death? Another thing to consider is that we should also not disregard the years of suffering and internal conflict that preceded peace of mind. So, maybe peace of mind is not the final state, but just a stepping stone on the path towards something else.

Perhaps the guy isn't well informed about these topics. I myself have seen different microbe species directly under the microscope a few years ago. But viruses are still in theory land until now as far as I know. That's why there's no cure for viral infections btw. But anyway, I don't believe his ultimate point was to deny these things, he was more focused on the importance of the immune system and raising vibration which is popular within energetic kind of narratives. I don't really see that worthy of banning, perhaps a warning would have been enough. The guy was never a troll. And if he's not distorting people's views on the forum (since I saw no one agreed with his views even though he's been like that for a while, so it feels more like healthy challenging of the mainstream narrative), then he's probably just working his stuff out, and imo the forum is a good place for that. Just don't take it seriously as long as it's not causing harm.

LMAO. OK.

There is no such thing. You're probably talking about peace of mind, which is not an absolute state either. There is the fundamental teaching of impermanence that disproves of all eternal states as such.

@Consilience

People believe in all kinds of things. Weird, but it happens all the time all around the world. And that's not a belief. That's reality. Anyone who cares to look around will see. I'll tell you something though, most of the human activities are designed for control. So, leave no exception. The main reason why any ideology exists is because of the control it provides. People fight over control all the time, through all means, ranging from simple civil discussions and debates to wars and genocides to media and advertising to teaching and discovering to whatever the heck people do.

@Loving Radiance With hygiene I think the root unconscious problem is perfectionism. You fill in the blanks.

Seems like Leo can handle all kinds of criticism except when it comes to challenging his hard-earned knowledge lol

Buddy you're confusing things. Spiral Dynamics and Non-dualism are two different paradigms. You can think non-duality at stage Blue. And you can be a Turquoise atheist. And no, the Quran is not a perfect scripture. You're just being biased because you were indoctrinated with Islam since you were born and your mind is still clinging to the old beliefs, even if you are more open-minded than the average Muslim, you still have so much deconstruction to do. The Quran does nothing perfectly. It is full of contradictions and logical fallacies. But Muhammad gained power back then, and people worship power and authority, especially at stages Red and Blue. And that's assuming that the Quran is delivered to us as it was during Muhammad's lifetime. It's likely that Khalifats added and removed certain things, and it's highly likely that there are missing verses.

"Listen! Here’s all you need to know to become enlightened: Sit down, shut up, and ask yourself what’s true until you know. That’s it. That’s the whole deal; a complete teaching of enlightenment, a complete practice. If you ever have any questions or problems—no matter what the question or problem is—the answer is always exactly the same: Sit down, shut up, and ask yourself what’s true until you know. In other words, go jump off a cliff. Don’t go near the cliff and contemplate jumping off. Don’t read a book about jumping off. Don’t study the art and science of jumping off. Don’t join a support group for jumping off. Don’t write poems about jumping off. Don’t kiss the ass of someone else who jumped off. Just jump."

@Lyubov It's kinda funny because as your friend is branching out, she is perceiving everything and everyone around her as objects to obtain, and you were no exception. She wanted to possess you, that's all. She wanted your relationship to be aligned with her life. And when you draw that boundary, it distorted her plans and she felt like she lost control of the relationship. Nothing personal happened here. Don't take it personally. You did nothing wrong, and neither did she. You just aren't compatible with each other and your paths are different.

I hate the political version of Leo.

Proof is a silly, materialistic idea.

You're making it more complicated than it actually is. I confirm to you that I am real. You just doubt what I'm saying. You're implying that I'm lying to you when I'm not. Well, no wonder why you're suffering the consequences.

Of course I am real. You just need to believe me.

It's one way to define OCD, out of many other ways which I don't recall at the time. What it means is that OCD develops when you prematurely push high awareness into areas which you don't yet understand the underlying dynamics of. For example, obsessive gay thoughts which some men experience. Regardless of the actual sexual orientation of the man, the reason why these thoughts can cause obsession for him is because they are judgements which were supposed to be a high form of consciousness that is necessary in order to survive within a heterosexual society (during childhood perhaps). However, if this chain is missing, the high consciousness judgement will not be high consciousness anymore because it won't be based on the fact that the judgement existed in the first for survival purposes, but instead the initial judgement will be judged by a new judgement which is collected from society unconsciously. So, repressing and denying old survival patterns in favor of the new social norms in this case will cause OCD.

Hehehe your spiritual ego is bullshiting you. You're imprinted with the idea that comparison and competition and inequality are "bad", while ignoring the fact that everyone is unique. Classic ego trick. But anyway, the truth is that no one is better or worse than anyone else. Want proof? Define better and worse.
