  1. @Preety_India thanks for your answer. Well, at least I feel, ethics is an axiom that came from morality which came from law, at least in my underestanding. Ethics may involve an element of empathy. But at the end of the day, it's all about the reception of the loss or break, betrayal e.c.t. while ethics is a flexible pool of notions about how one should act, the pain for whatever reason is pretty solid. I don't think a binary answer is not applicable to this question, if it can be answered at all, and what an answer can explain (both yes or no to this question in particular)?
  2. I am having the same question.
  3. I wanted to express the whole situation in one small sentence: "You can't spell sex without an Ex." Do you really think he will not ask for it, try to turn you on or "she will give in if i play good for a certain period of time."
  4. But they say Buddha has mystical powers, there is videos on that by chinese practicing buddists. I very vividly remember a buddist monk mentioned a navel center when he gave us instructions on mantra/visualisation technique to unclutch from the breath.
  5. From what I have heard and my experience i can say that a glimpse of enlightenment is not necessarily correlated with feeling your energies rising to saharsrar, and I don't think there are alot of people who can direct their energies at will. Also I have heard, when SUCH a thing happens, if you don't know or don't want to hold on to the body, you will leave the body, and you will be in such an ecstasy for no reason. And if you are practicing a lifestyle that is for liberation, whatever the sadhana is, you will feel energies in your sahasrara, or around that region. That is my daily experience and it is largely unconscious. If I force it, it may hurt. But if I do it right, for certain period of time, then i think that will be my mahasamadhi, where you leave the body trough sahasrara. I recommend warching sadhgurus videos about his wife's mahasamadhi. It is more practical to say/think that a part of you is permanent, rather than trying to cognize that one can/will center his energies permanently on sahasrara. You cognizing you as permanent will itself lift your energies up.
  6. Yes. Praise can be more dangerous than blame and ridicule. It can make you arrogant. It can derail you from what you want to achieve e.c.t., make you relapse and be lazy, seek more of it or run into too much pleasure, procrastination. And we all know what an echo chamber is and that if you do something to be validated, you will burn out. But i think it's about the reception, i wouldn't mind giving praise to somebody whom I want to, regardless of my hypocrisy, @Derek White pointed out.
  7. Just look at Owen, he has mastered some aspect of the social aspects in life. He is magnetic, extremely charismatic, knows how to "hang out" so that maximum number of people have a good time and probably knows how to say no, how to retreat. It's not just about dating that this works. Words can make somebody ruin your life, right words can cause your life, de-escalate conflict. Attract right kind of people. Socialy speaking, you are worth that what and how you are expressing. The streets got something for you. Either it can take everything from you and gice what you want. Have to be careful, sometimes it punishes your greed, somtimes your non-expression. If you were hostile to everybody, immagine how TERRIBLE your life would be, you would be on the street, because you can't properly relate to anybody, and on top of that, somebody would kill you for the smallest of things. So presenting yourself and enabling your self-expression is whats pick up seemingly can do, besides getting you laid, at least that's what tyler radiates.
  8. @ivankiss yes, i am going trough the same thing and have been going for quite a while, life has been dragging me in multiple directions right now.
