It's clearly not the case. Putin just doesn't want to lose his comfortable seat with his oligarchs he bribed each other with so he has to distract people with war. Ukraine had a change of president from zhulik to Zelensky, therefore a slight shift to democracy, Putin fears he will lose his seat because of this peaceful transfer of power that can happen in Russia also. It's not a strong sense of order, it's utter self-preservation to the degree of laughter. It's just him trying to over-extend his pathetic life and Navalny almost got him, and would be after him if he was released due to prisoner exchange program. But he obviously killed Navany from the top. That man almost broke him, took his precious seat sucking the blood out of the Russian masses. He lives a double life, what principles he has other than making sure he steals something, bribes somebody for his advantage and kills the opposition. He doesn't believe in god probably. His religion is propaganda and building castles. Thank you, Navalny. Slava Ukraine.

And how can you say that it is the most powerful practice? What other practices you tried and for what period of time? Based on what traditions? I have sat for periods of time and think that is is not the best practice. I have found some other practices, yes, which includes contemplation but is not just sitting somewhere.

Stupid ideas are enough for self-preservation, that's why they are so popular. But that is a life lived in gossip, mediocrity, pain, jelousy, projection, gaslighting and yes, stupid assumptions. It's the typical Christianity like idea as an example: "Sorry Jesus that I am going to sin (do something which I wouldn't want to be done to myself and maybe have enough awareness feel guilty about it) but admitting that to myself is basically pointless because I will not do anything to solve it and I will do it the same all over again and go trough the same restlesness, guilt and unbarable pain, constantly whishing that situations, life, people whould be different now and in the past which is not possible."

1) no fap helps a lot to have mental clarity in literally everything; 2) if you do it with the right person, who is about the same development of consciousness or if you are really in love you should be fine, but if they are more compulsive, restless, instinctive, depressed then you lose a bit of energy every time you do it, imo 3) you feeling guilty about it creates a vicious cycle. 4) you just need more clarity not to do it rather than compensating it with guilt.

I willalways remember Navalny for his humour.

Ok. But so did Biden. What is your point? Russia has different political apparatus which is not a popular vote election based. There are people waiting for a change for at least 20 years and I think a revolution will involve military and a literal civil war + some regions want to disband Russia to this day. It is really fucked and twisted in Russia right now. The average joe's life in there is corruption right now, it's not the same as in America right now.

This is not that simple. Navalny was also not alone and he had and has people's support. Maybe a civil war would emerge from Putin's lackies and anti-Putin supporters, or a collapse and fragmentation of Russia from the end of Putin's rule alone, i don't think your depiction is very accurate. It is cooking one way or the other as time passes by.

This is somehow sadder than any of my relatives dying. Some force of positive change died with him which is not awakened in many of us. He was up against too much. He sacrificed his personal pleasures for this life of inprisonment and torture. I don't think people underestand what it really means. Thank you, Alexei, for speaking up for all of those who didn't want to have this life, but somehow we have to continune. I feel like we, the people who tend to think more freely, are next, although it feels that it was just an isolated incident, he was not the first one and will not be the last one killed by the Kremlin. RIP, I hope you find any existential relief, thank you for the bottom of my heart.

I am pretty far down in the bat cave. I have a long way to go in order to truly sit alone and some instincts and forces of society play aginst me, meanwhile I also find socializing pretty boring, however that might also not be true in reality and it's just my inability to authentically communicate, but then I see how transactional, inauthentic and manipulative a lot of relationships around me are and it makes me sad. I have done the groundwork for that loner lifestyle and I plan to live it, because I feel there is nothing better to do than contemplate and meditate. Life in general and life purpose takes most of my energy anyway so I have to figure how to make myself most healthy and minimalistic and to really build that base for the future, knowing very well that I can die any day, it's quite an interesting paradox. But I want to face my traumas, self-destructive patterns, life-negative assumptions so that I am truly not an issue in my life because of my lifestyle. Accidents or me being killed even is not that much of a problem but if I robbed my life, it's something that's hard to not regret because I have the tools to do it now. I think there are ways to really do it, if you touch some siddhis of the human body or your awakening is just a little too imbalanced that you just disregard certain aspects of your life and probably the people who did it successfully are not on this forum.

No, groundnuts + literally any fruit. That's how inexpensive it is.

You will always win this argument by pointing at someone's Mother. See, he or she is successful because of their mother, but in reality this is nonsense.

Hey, Jason, thanks for the share. I am on a similar yourney to find out what and when to eat for the best possible results, because health is the #1 thing to be fixed in life.

I wanted to know what is your opinion on the question I asked which I did receive at the end, at least partially. I might have derailed the thread and made it about me vs you and I am sorry about that. Yes, you don't need to care and it's good you don't.

Wanting a romantic partner and manifestation is all fine and good, but I just want to remind everyone who is watching this that finding what you authentically want is of a prime importance and could not be what any other human being is suggesting to you. It is so intimate and sacred that you should find it out yourself and build a life around that to have a lasting peace about doing what you can towards your most authentic desires and spending your energy on that. If there is an universal thing to want for yourself I would suggest health - project, imagine, strive for health. But then anyway comes the reason why you are here and you are here to find it.

It is very easy to discard your points. 1) How do you know I am listening to figures like Andrew Tate? What if I don't? (And actually I do not, because that man is a serial scammer in my opinion); 2) Advice from someone else does and can fix your life, there is a methodological way about this when it comes to learning something about life to get where you want to be and it's called education; 3) You kinda "defined" what does it mean to not have original thinking, but what is original thinking then if everything you think is a permutation of information you learned in the past, and quickest way of learning something about life is that somebody told you and you trust it, so what is original thinking? I am sorry, but I have no idea what you are saying. Then I will ask why both gender communication is so dysfunctional by design or by circumstances of nature in our society? No, in this thread your first reply was a reply in which you decided that "depth was not needed" therefore your replies are not always in depth. My poor perception of reality; how did you investigate my perception of reality? How can you estimate that, I am curious? I don't and i think I can't accurately know what your perception of reality is. But I think you think I listen to Andrew Tate. What are creations of original value that I could be creating? And from what I have to differ? From other men? Also what is an original creation that I have or have not done this week and it probably could be 0? If I don't even know what it is, therefore i cant answer you whether i did or did not create something of value or originality this week.

It's as confusing as your initial comment, so I couldn't make more sensible question, my apologies. So, you are saying that men can't offer what women want, therefore it's hard to find decent men. My question is, what qualities do most men lack? The second part didn't make sense to me. "It's the same on both sides?" What is on both sides? Shouldn't it be the same on the both sides or should it be? So a man has to offer more than a woman is what you are saying? Or the other way around? I will not let you get away this with a vague reply since you are a moderator and your comments have to make sense.

And what would you like to be offered that men can't seem to offer nowadays?

I am aiming to try honey/water fasting for at least 7 days this year with some daily intake of neem, turmeric and haritaki. I would really love to do longer if possible. I wanna see what happens.

I want to change, I want to change drastically to my survival advantage and ownership of my life's purpose.

Let me tell you some abstract side effects and nuances from personal experience. Bliss in varying regions in your body, especially energy centers (chakras). Having a extended sense of how much space you are taking. You are feeling more energetic, it's like you are taking a bit more space, you feel that you are dense but somehow light at the same time, you feel how various forces are flowing trough your body. You have gaps of complete sielence in your mind (happening on their own) at some points in the day and it feels good. What you are uttering to others is more likely to manifest and you believe in yourself more. You have more power to visualize something and therefore that something happens in your life. You can sometimes shake or even your body could move by itself during meditation, this is normal. You become more present and more of a presence in general than a personality. Your personal evolution happens faster (in a shorter time period it's harder to believe that this used to be you). You can enjoy your own company without anything. Some habits could disappear since you shined light at some part of your consciousness or your life is put on a perspective and you get clearer about what you would like to do the most. Your potential and frequency of moments of satori increase. Fear of death reduces, sense of eternity evolves and deepens. And of course there are more and more that is unexplored.

I deleted basically every social media. Feels so good! I don't have to stalk anybody! Even though I don't even gain or have no intent to care what is going in their life even if i checked their instagram or facebook, it's like idle window shopping to feed my fantasy about them being in my life which is just false. My life has nothing to do with them anymore or for some even at all. I don't need have to fantasize about them. I am also on a no fap streak which makes it a lot easier. I enjoy the mental clarity I currently have. Let them live their life. And let me live mine. I have a lot of work to do anyway. I hope one day I will quit this website and youtube also. What a creative and meditative life that would be!

I worship and have feeling connection with devi figurines like saraswati, kalabhairava and pictures of yogis of the past and present. I overcheck things in my work and private life. I will for example go 5 times in one place to check If the light is turned off. I like to listen to weird and bad quality music for inspiration. I have some tendencies for BDSM, latex and bondage fetishes, but I will probably not ever explore these, just because I just don't feel like to.

Dude i heard that Steve Vai (famous, very skilled and pretty authentic guitar player) was on the virge of suicide when performing at some event. The guy has basically everything most people in this field want and it looks like with a high reproducibility that the success, fame, money etc is not what makes them happy. Same with these millionares. There is still an area that needs to be explored and is not taught in human society in masses that is linked with spirituality. It is no surprise to me anymore as emotional turmoil happens very frequently, but even with the amount of success people have, that termoil does not change if you don't keep yourself clean enough in areas you don't even bother to look.

Are you sure? Like, for real? Really? This is your conclusion? Wow, I find it fascinating that you would say that.
