@Leo Gura What was wrong with me Always tier 2 quality posts.

@RyanK There isn't death, but just radical change in an experience.

@Anon212 Just go to vipassana retreat which is free and use that money to buy body massages and healthy food instead and you'll be far better off from that. You could also buy new clothes and treat yourself better and you'd love yourself more. Almost always it's better to go for lot small things than for couple big. You could also do retreats on your own and it would be cheaper. Aim for things which will change the direction of your whole life like starting to do something instead of fast cure.

@ThePoint Maybe to the user "spiritual memes", I don't even know anymore. I read many threads and came to that overall conclusion. Thing I just would want people to understand is that we should learn to read between the lines what the person is trying to say or we fight perspective against another one.

It seems that you guys are purposely trying to find someting you could fight about always. That message is insanely simple if you don't shift to argumentation gear just for the sake of being in the fight. Basically the more conscious you are the better decisions you start to make and the better outcomes you usually have. End of the drama. Breathe and be happy. We're on the same side, my friends . With love -joNi-

@StarStruck I don't drink nowadays and I still go to bars and I am more going and extroverted than all other people here drinking their ass off.

@Tyler Robinson So the goalpost is now moved. It isn't anymore about is it dangerous or not, but will it make you crazy and the answer is that it depends. If you aren't stable don't touch grass and if you feel like you could make extra step to experience life then go for it. You said: "bah!!" and I thought you disagreed with what I said. Overall point that is it dangerous is now closed because it all depends on everything and we don't have enough information to make so radical statements.

@Tyler Robinson What part of my text you disagreed with?

@Tyler Robinson It's the mentality behind people who get addicted which is dangerous not the thing necessarily by itself. There are alternative ways to consume weed so arguing that it's bad for your health is out of equation. Also what psychosis even means at the most absolute sense? Bad experience where your ground what is real and what isn't is vanished. So could it be more about perspective than about the state itself? Knowing this we could say that cannabis can be hard for people who aren't prepared and therefore it should be used with a caution like anything else in life. Case closed, peace. Your friend -joNi-

@Carl-Richard I wouldn't want to be conversation police here, but it seems that all the times when people are talking anything related to spirituality they just tell one nugget of information as an attack to other nugget of information. Can't you see that you and @Breakingthewall actually talk about different things. He showed the importance of experiencing something by yourself and you just said that you make duality if you don't see the teacher being you. You are talking in different levels and about different things . Maybe I could make new thread soon about how to communicate with other people on the forum. We on the forum aren't so different after all.

@Inliytened1 Can't you see that you both agree already ? He never said that you shouldn't look inward, but just replied to @Someone here and said that there are benefits in listening to other people. @Breakingthewall The point is not to convey experience, but to convey a way to have one.

@Breakingthewall Point of spirituality shouldn't be reaching state in the first place, but to live life well. Also what enlightenment even means, because there are so many different definition and sides to it. As long as teacher gives you good advices and makes you better person I wouldn't mind listening to one. As long as there is someone who has some information that you don't it is beneficial to listen to him/her. Usually those gurus have some wisdom to convey and it doesn't always need to be something which is related to just spiritual practice. There's word practice for a reason. It's practice to have good life. Peace.

@Someone here I want to point out to you that you aren't really staying in the subject so try to read my texts with more precision and only answer to what is being said. The only thing I am saying is that there's use of listening to someone wise and you're saying that listening to spiritual guru is waste of time. I said that it could be useful if it gives you a new perspective and you aren't really confirming that point I was making. If that statement is correct then you´d see instantly why listening to someone wise is good. Maybe more than one pair of eyes is better than one.

@Someone here I guess you learnt to talk, cook, meditate, do mathematics, write, speak foreign languages etc. all by yourself. If you believe that you should do your own personal journey by yourself and so should I, why are you having this discussion with me in the first place? You're right that I cannot live your life and do meditation for you, but I can give you an idea, perspective or a hint of what you could do. Everyone is just offering an idea and you're correct that the decision is on you if you want to see it or not. That doesn't still make what I say right now useless and if it would you wouldn't be replying to me.

@Someone here The main point is that listening to other's thoughts can help you realize something, because it's usually different way of looking at the thing. That can be extremely fruitful in your personal journey towards wherever you want to go. I'd say it's a luxury to be able to talk to other people, because that alone increases your perspective of things. What you're saying is important thing also; you're captain of your life. The point is learn as much as you can and sometimes the information comes from your thoughts, sometimes from your experience and occasionally from other people. Even if some books are better than others you shouldn't throw worse ones away.

@Consilience Exactly! Even if a direct experience is your best guidance there's an utility to hear different ideas so you could have new insights to almost anything. An insight is new thought that you didn't have and what would be a better way to have them than from someone else who thinks differently than you. It would be incredibly stupid decision to stop listening other people, but still continuing to listen yourself . When you start to treat life as a movie that is being presented you start to appreciate all thoughts no matter where they come. Even your thoughts come from "outside of you". @Someone here Read the thing above and it's answer for your message to Consilience.

@Kalki Avatar It's weird that I'm not sure if you're sarcastic or out of your mind right now .

@Kalki Avatar You sure my brother ?

@Galyna It could be said that love is an energetic relaxation and if you don't feel that energy then it is just zen. Many people don't realize, but we have deep loneliness inside us and when that loneliness goes away and we start to feel more connected then that's what we call love, the realization of connection that was there all the time waiting you. That's as far as you can explain an experience to someone. If you have had similar experience then you understand what I am trying to convey to you. -joNi-

@SQAAD Who said that you are going to be rejected or that there is even possibility to it?

@Tyler Robinson Exactly, I just tried to guide @Seth to see that to change that belief of low self-confidence happens by just approaching girls and proving yourself wrong.

@Seth I believe that I weight 10 kilos more than what I actually weight. How do I change that belief?

@SQAAD Actually you destroy your self-condidence by believing that you don't have it.

@Tboy How could I know if eating something could help my hunger? Also that sounds fear of something. -joNi-

@amanen When you realize that this moment happened before yesterday, you're pretty deep into this work.
