You just know people are going to flash dicks on their cars for fun

Liz Wheeler, because she's smart and I have a crush on her

Does the book come with samples of psychedelics? Maybe hidden in the cover or in the paper. Pages made of the ayahuasca plant.

It's nutritionally basically empty. It won't hurt you, but it isn't particularly healthy either

Before one studies Zen, mountains are mountains and waters are waters; after a first glimpse into the truth of Zen, mountains are no longer mountains and waters are no longer waters; after enlightenment, mountains are once again mountains and waters once again waters.

If you are suffering it means God is calling you

The source of all chronic disease is in the mind. If you have a healthy mind, your immune system can fight off basically anything. If you have an unhealthy/unstable/unbalanced mind, not only are you more susceptible from catching external diseases, you are also way more likely to develop internal diseases like diabetes, heart disease and cancer. There are a lot of people that have had bad health scares that forced them to reevaluate how they approached life. And if you are able to recalibrate your mind in a more healthy way, your body is able to heal again through the mind. I know people that became almost different people because of a health scare, it was either change or die.

There is a massive income equality in Saudi Arabia. The rich are insanely rich, and the poor are will struggle more than in western countries. Also, higher education is generally only accesable for the rich.

Don't get it unless you need to for pragmatic reasons i.e. get into social venues or it's mandated at your work environment.

To be the biggest winner you also have to be willing to be the biggest loser. This is real humility. The willingness to be wrong and the willingness to lose.

If pedosexuality is an innate disposition since birth/early childhood, just like homosexuality probably is, then it should be acknowledged as such. Otherwise you prevent it from being studied any further, you deny the truth of the matter. And in the case of homosexuality; 'conversion therapy' is deemed ineffective and is now even considered immoral. It's highly unlikely that a homosexual becomes a heterosexual. At least I have not seen such examples where the primary attraction of the same sex transforms into a primary attraction to the other sex.

Of course pedophilia happens in nature. Just like it has been happening since the dawn of mankind with humans. In human history; things like pedophilia, rape and murder are the norm, not the exception. Nature doesn't care about your age, if the woman is able to procreate than she's ready. Of course pedophilia is not moral, just like rape and murder are not moral.

you are arguing for the fallacy that we first have to tackle a bigger problem before we can tackle a smaller problem. And I'm saying that's nonsense.

Ruining your marriage doesn't make you enlightened. It's hard to judge from the outside, I don't know how their marriage is like. It's possible that the woman kept on growing in her life, and her husband became stagnant. Thus they grew apart and could not connect with each other any longer. In that case it's understandable the woman feels frustrated. In that case; I do think, if someone get married, they have the moral obligation to make an honest effort to save the marriage. Especially if there are kids involved. It's still possible that the husband will 'see the light' maybe through marriage counseling and open communication between wife and husband. But there are also cases where the man or woman just 'wants to live it up'. And let go of all responsibility, they just don't want to deal with it any longer. That has got nothing to do with being enlightened, in that case you are just a selfish asshole/bitch. It really depends on the particular circumstances and individuals involved.

Have you read or listened to Christian apologetics? They can really get you to think and advance your spiritual development, even if you aren't a Christian. And they make you understand and appreciate the themes of the Bible more. I'm talking about writers like Thomas Aquinas, CS Lewis, GK Chesterton, St. Augustine. And you can watch Youtube channels like Bishop Barron, but also the work of Jordan Peterson on Christianity. You have to find some spark in yourself to keep searching.

It's because the originator of the Cognitive functions, Carl Jung, never intended his theories to be used for pop psychology typing. And he also always emphasized that cognitive functions is just one aspect which makes up the totality personality of a person's psychological expression and makeup. The cognitive function model he proposed are more a natural cognitive fixation or proclivity through which a person tends navigate his or her environment. It's also not an exact science, again, he also did not intended it to be so. His work is heavily metaphysical and deals with psychological archetypes. Carl Jung was just as much an artist as a scientist. Myers and Briggs took these abstract theories of Jung and created a commercial pop product out of it, which has become a multi million dollar business.

Are you a Christian? Have you read the Bible?

I hope she gets the 20 years of prison time.

These entities are 'real' just as much as our thoughts are real. Meaning, it depends on the perspective you take. In the physical sense they aren't real. But an entity can invade our mind, just like a thought or a pattern of thought can invade our mind, and manifest themselves through our actions. They can make us do things that feel like we aren't in control of those actions, that that action does not align with who we really are as a person. It's all part of the metaphysical warfare which is happening in the world. Which is hard to see and understand, yet is real, possibly even more real than the physical warfare that goes on the world.

I really wish people would be careful while trying to find the 'Truth', especially when psychedelics are involved. Because your insights can be completely misinterpreted which can slowly send you in a downward spiral toward depression and suicide. You can go on train of thought which goes only one direction, which is down. It's important to stay grounded in reality. Make sure your insights actually have some kind of basis and fundament to it. Take baby steps, don't try to aim for full enlightenment immediately. It's like when people just learn to drive they immediately want to drive a sportscar with 2000horsepower and test its limits, while on drugs. The chances if you getting hurt are extremely high. Cross-check your insights with other experienced and grounded people. And if you feel you are on a downward trajectory, seek real help.

"That issue is irrelevant as long as there are children starving in Africa" If I had a penny every time I heard a variation of that argument I'd be rich. And we know it's a bad argument.

If all hope is lost in your experience, turn to your Lord and savior Jesus Christ and start learning about him. Non-duality is not going to save you. You are still young, you have your entire future in front of you, all is not lost.

Let's not sugarcoat this by saying 'oh he willingly and gracefully left this plain of existence so he could experience eternal bliss'. No that's nonsense, he killed himself because he was in hell and saw no other way out. He was drowning in his own misery and thought psychedelics and non-duality was his way out. It wasn't. I feel bad for him, very bad. And he won't be the last. Because non-dual teachings are not geared toward leading a happy and fulfilling life. You aren't going to magically 'ascend', that's just ego illusion.

Regardless if you believe in a hell afterlife or not. I think I can safely say that hell can be experienced spiritually in this worldly reality. It's the feeling of being totally cut off from God. I think the people that are most familiar with this state are people that are suicidally depressed. They feel cut off from everything, and everything is just dark, misery, suffering, evil, and there is absolutely nothing you can do about it in the moment, completely hopeless. It's the feeling of being completely hopeless untill the end of time. And there's no one or thing in the world which can alleviate your suffering. It's hard for people to understand who haven't experienced such a state. But it's real, and I think this is the most scary and brutal thing a person can experience.

Hell. There's nothing more brutal than hell.
