Bye.

Yeah, it's tough. Don't listen to those critiques, you can't please everyone. There's this saying: "The judge between kids hanged himself."

Stop attacking me ??? Leave me alone ??‍❤️‍??

Blocking does not prevent people from talking about you. It will only make it less likely for you to read it when it happens.

Oh, my God! I'm having my worst fear realized. My mom thinks that I'm a hippy. Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

@Zeroguy Breaking news: Masculinity crisis! A guy gets trolled by a girl, complains about her to another girl. What's next? Preety coerces Benton into implied consent and rapes him telepathically?! LMAO!

Well, then. I would suggest looking at the conversation from a broader perspective. Let's say that "genetics" is literally being used as a blanket term for things that we cannot control. How would you make use of that? For me, I would conclude that some people are simply not destined to be enlightened. So then they should stop chasing after God and maybe focus their attention and efforts on things that they're more likely to get. So it ties perfectly with purpose. To me, genetics basically mean: "Look, you're designed to do this, but not that. Know your purpose, and don't waste your time chasing ghosts."

I disagree wholeheartedly. Personally, I couldn't care less about "my personal enlightenment" anymore. I'm just sharing my thoughts for the sake of it. And obviously, data is important, but its absence should not stop us from having this conversation. Maybe someone will find it helpful. Maybe upon reading this convo, someone will decide that their genes are not good enough for enlightenment and then give up the search. Who knows?! Plus, genetics is broader than enlightenment. So whatever applies to it generally should logically apply to enlightenment.

Glad that we agree on this. It's hard to say. In my current view of things, that extent varies between people, so it's not the same for everyone. You might be more genetically inherently predisposed for awakening while others not at all. So, genetics are first order. And second order would be environment. Then practice and everything else (including education, perspective, limiting beliefs, etc.). I think that there's a range of importance to consider here as well. Some people's genes might have a major effect on them, and others not so much, while others (most people I would say) somewhat fairly. So there's some flexibility in there, and not everything is 100% determined. At least not everything is determined on the second order level, but only on the first order level. We might say that there's a general genes flexibility factor that differs from one person to another, which might or might not have the same value (levels of importance) when it comes to specific skills or functions. Like maybe your genes are flexible in regards to spiritual work, but not to sports. Or maybe they're flexible in all areas. Also, there's an obvious difference between being born normal vs. handicapped vs. superhuman. Someone born with legs is different from someone born without any. And they're both different from someone born with legs that are made for running. Like you said, it is a huge and complex topic, and I have actually written a better and more detailed reply but lost it to error 403 on posting.

Not really. Dude, just stop! What do you even know about genetics? Do you understand how inheritance works? Do you know that there are two types of genes? Do you know that just because my grandmother's eyes were blue does not mean that my eyes should necessarily be blue?

The hand exercise is not meant to convince you logically. It's meant to open up your mind to the possibility of something beyond logic. Your hand is imaginary means that your hand is not a material thing. But don't make this imagination pointer into another materialistic concept. Personally, I would not recommend using that pointer (imagination), though. Because it's not accurate. Hence, you're here posing this objection. Instead, I would use Zen pointers to help you deconstruct your mind. Then after that, you're free to construct whatever you want.

Maybe not here, and maybe not in the sense that genetics don't exist. But I am certain that I saw him more than once undermining the role of genetics in spiritual work.

Wait, are you saying empty your cup first? Or are you trying to quote Jordan Peterson?

@Consilience How can you doubt genetics but believe in reincarnation?

Masculine = Mask of lying. Nice!

His ego spiraled out of control. That's what happened to him.

Kinda got me confused there. Is it clarity or nonsense? Anyway, I wish I could do way with fapping, but I can't. Apparently, my dick is bigger than my brain lol.

Said my dick after ejaculation, each and every time.

Woke up at 2 am. No electricity. Waited till around 5. Watched the sunrise. Saw God. Then I decided to go on a morning walk. Walked for about 3 hours all throughout the city. Meditated and listened to music. Then at the park near home, I played football with two youths for about 30 minutes, and I got exhausted. Whatever the fuck happened to my stamina?! I mean I'm not the best football player, but today my level was cringy and clumsy at best. I haven't been playing for ages, nor have I even been doing any regular sports either other than walking. Still, it was a draw in the end. I enjoyed it so much. It reminded me of the meaning of life. No man should ever spend a day in his life without doing sports. Men have to sweat. Sport is healthy. And I thought my health was perfect before. Turns our there are higher levels of health even. Dammit, God! And God dammit! My health is already great but it's nowhere close to where it can and should be. I'm living in toxic conditions that limit my ability to becoming the best human ever, physically and mentally. I can't wait to end this nonsense and live up to my fullest potential. Soon everything will be perfect. Start your timer. You'll see.

@Ayham Hi! And kudos for you for doing this work seriously. Regarding finding your life purpose and related doubts, I would suggest that the process might be longer than anticipated and that there is no rush. When you find your purpose, you will feel it so there will be no doubts. That's not to say there's only one purpose out there for you/everyone, nor that it can't change or evolve over time. But that some level of general clarity about yourself is required for you to discover your purpose, and other parts of yourself. Meditation does certainly help with that, and I would suggest that instead of doing a formal practice or a chore that you have to go through everyday, that instead you try to be curious about the source of thoughts. When you sit to meditate, if you notice that thoughts keep popping up, try to get in touch with their source. Be curious about what they mean, and why these specific thoughts are appearing out of infinitely more others. Hint: you will find many answers about your authentic self this way if you do it properly. Good luck, and keep us updated. I am enjoying reading your journal and interested to see how your journey will unfold.

Life is never static, but it can appear so if certain conditions are met. There's no recipe for living life properly. You gotta come up with one for yourself and keep sharpening it all the time. Though, there are recipes for living life improperly. To live properly, you have to be at least informed, hyper aware, and intelligent. Lack in any of these traits will fuck you up if those conditions I talked about earlier aren't met.
