  1. That's what made me think of this topic @No Self
  2. Yea i guess if someone's just Buddhist because his/her parent were Buddhist then there's even more just mechanical rambling of chants etc. without any search for truth.
  3. It's not bs if you believe in it also it's a nice story with many layers which doesn't need to be taken literally for example some groups of people (luciferians?) think that the snake was actually on our side and showing us the light then there's another story that that there was another woman first before eve named lilith
  4. It's interfering with his goals and work, giving haters ammunition
  5. Yes but then if you let's say follow Buddhas path don't create Karma etc., and escape Samsara (incarnation) So then you're not re-born anymore which is their highest goal but isn't it more fun to be reborn than not? Because of the beauty etc. in this world. What actually happens in their teachings if you're not reborn, nothing or something? I don't know i haven't really looked into to it and it gets too theoretical and "religious" imo
  6. Imagine Alex Jones and them going to the Amazon rainforest, to catch some gullible westerners for their "movement"
  7. So why do you think getting out of the wheel of life is "worshipped" since this world generally is so beautiful?
  8. I think what he means is getting out of the wheel of re-incarnation is "worshipped" and kind of the goal, which a lot of eastern traditions are trying to do.
  9. You don't know that yet, you haven't died or don't remember how it was. But i agree that i generally also wouldn't mind getting re-incarnated a lot (millions?) more as far as i know and "life is suffering" is a bit a problematic statement, the teaching is probably deeper, i don't know. But imo there's a lot of suffering but there's equal or more pleasure than suffering generally, depends how easily you can derive pleasure, but by just being in nature, looking at trees etc.
  10. yea i think karma might not be very nice to them at some point they exported a lot of extremism, wahabism to other countries etc. driving golden cars and throwing money away while their neighbours are dying of hunger beheading as a capital punishment executing women for witchcraft bullying yemen, bombing civilians etc.
  11. what about the lobbies which have a huge influence? wall street? Chomsky: In the US, there is basically one party - the business party. It has two factions, called Democrats and Republicans, which are somewhat different but carry out variations on the same policies. By and large, I am opposed to those policies. As is most of the population.
  12. how is that simple? that's not going to happen yea on of them is ^^ the other not
  13. i'm not watching the video, the picture is already enough and it makes me feel/think how can "western" countries sell weapons and do business with a country which wages such an inhumane war on its neighbouring country. all that just for money and geopolitics? they probably just use that conflict as a testing ground for their army and weapons to get some experience. sad. put sanctions on them or f you
  14. rupert spira dynamics he's alright that jolly serene awakened man with his grey cardigan sweater
  15. i barely know anything about qanon, but i guess a many of the people who are following it are some kind of "truth seekers"
  16. he would teach people the "path" and they'd give him sandwiches and liquids
  17. if nothing happens you should be fined for spreading such bs why not, could be fun, buy some chickpeas etc. just don't become obsessive about it.
  18. noiceee i'm jealous, well i wish it was women knocking not men, but i'd take it
  19. this is exciting, i really wonder how all of this will turn out the pandemic, the vaccination, the economy, people rioting, division
  20. I think in really poor countries, having many children is also a kind of "old age insurance" and the chances are bigger that one of them "makes it" also still high rates of child deaths, diseases like ebola etc.
  21. it would be interesting if there are for example more "only childs" etc. in "seekers"
  22. this might sound horrible but maybe it would be better if people in poor countries had fewer children. i get why they want so many children though and contraception is a huge issue in these places.
