That sounds like more speculation, and it doesn't really help. Usually when I feel triggered, it's not just a feeling, there are thoughts too. Grab a pen and a paper and start journaling right away if you're still feeling it, or once that feeling surfaces again.

@Evoke Ultimately I don't really know. I don't even know if she is a conscious being, or if she exists at all. And I don't know exactly the "I" or "she" that I'm saying. But I can feel that she's trying hard, so that'd be inauthentic. But maybe that's just my perception, so again I don't really know. What might be of relevance to your question would probably be to be precise about your experience. What are the thoughts you're getting when you listen to her? And why her exactly? Does Sadhguru for example trigger you too? Yes or no?

She's not enlightened.

Taking life seriously or not so seriously is an irrelevant inquiry. Life is to be taken correctly. The opposite of knowledge is opinion. God is the real deal. All else is placebo. It's a very good rule of thumb, perhaps even the best, to assume that all humans are crazy and mentally ill. Life is a lot easier that way.

You don't know that. At least, you don't know the limits to which you can drop desires until you reach that supposed state. For example, I bet Elon Musk probably thinks he will sink into shit if he decreases his desires and ambitions by 1%. That's not as easy to say when you're actually suffering. State of consciousness matters a lot more than thinking a thought. Words do not do justice to true happiness.

You meant to say stigmatized, not dogmatized. But anyway, religion is probably the biggest factor,

They're not even stereotypes, just temporary memes and a product of human intellect and culture.

Absolutely not. Hence, it's not a good sign. The more you desire, the more you will suffer, the less happy you will be. And vice-versa. No, it's not. Maybe. But not really.

There's no story behind that desire, it's not mine nor of the ego. I didn't invent it, nor did anybody teach it to me. It's God's magic working through my body.

This is like saying smoking is something good, a sign that your lungs are working.

Positive.

@mandyjw Desire is a virus of the mind. Its existence is an indicator that something is not right, whether externally or internally. It's a tool of the devil. You really haven't tasted true happiness until you've dropped all your desires. Counter-intuitive, but it is what it is. Now, if you don't want maximum happiness, then sure, follow your desires and see where they lead you. I assure you that there is no comparison.

The trance of aristocrats over the corpses of the poor.

It's whatever you make it to be. You remind me of myself at 5 years old where I thought it was okay to spell or point to the bad words without actually saying them (well, maybe not 5, I don't remember exactly, but you get the point), also same as religious blasphemy. You know that I can use the expression "N word" in an offensive manner, right? You know that I can use the word "apple" in an offensive manner too, right? Grow up and stop being such a baby. Here, I am using the word "baby" in an offensive manner, even though babies are cute and innocent. Handle it. This post is the most racist thing I've ever read. You're discriminating based on color, while nobody else does, except the ones who share your ideology. It may be the case that white people are ruling most of the modern world, but who cares? Like, do you honestly think that white rulers/decision-makers actually care about other whites or prefer them over non-whites? Don't you see that everyone is equally cut out of power? Do you believe that if non-white people share the power that you as a non-white person will benefit? Lol. There are countless rich, powerful, and influential non-white people, what did they do to help you? You're just a puppet in the hands of those who fed you this ideology, like most people. Wake up.

I remember the first time I watched porn. It was at work, and I was around 12-13 years old. There were a couple of videos, one was called "the sweetest bath", and the other "wedding night", both roughly translated from Arabic. Exciting story, for sure. Something you don't read about everyday. I'll add more details later... But now, off to sleep.

Don't get hung up on such minutia. Fight where it actually matters.

@tsuki To be clear, I read that line years ago when my favorite porn site got shut down for piracy reasons

@tsuki I know you're looking for water, but unfortunately this is a desert.

The whole week is officially off due to poor weather. To me, it's technically more like a week off from distraction and useless nonsense at med school. Awesome! That should give me a boost and increase my progress on my more important goals.

??? No, and I said "myopically" precisely because of this distinction. I'm not a fan of JP. Yet, another myopic perspective. Preaching letting go of identity, while actually holding on to this identity of disarming every other identity.

I hate the cold, dude. I fucking do. I'm okay with it, but okay is not good enough. I'm not okay with being okay. Okay is for losers and incapables. This is the probably 8th winter we have to endure the cold without a heater or anything like that. It's ridiculous, but it is the case for many Syrians. I feel paralyzed, like I should enter some hibernation state like some bears do. I will make this dream come true haha. The only people who are still in Syria are the deluded, the evil, the weak, the incapables, the retarded, the disabled, the incompetent, the poor, and the ones who are hoping and actively trying to get out asap like myself.
