Yeah , God uses carrots to lead us where he wants but he never actually lets us take a bite. What a sadist

Thanks for the feedback

Thank for the feedback, yeah it's sad, she seemed really to appreciate me but at the same time she's amazingly hot, she must have real abundance. Fun fact: few hours before we met at the bar, I ran into her in the hallway of our appartments. I remember seeing her and thinkingw "wow that's the kind of girl I could never bring home, Totally out of my league" and ironically, I was in her bed that very same night.

Yeah you are right, financial independence is a good long term goal. I'm Just playing the game within my own limits at the moment. To be honest, finances aren't even my main limitation nor my priority. I also deal with some health issues which is what I'm focusing on improving(not degradind.. :p) right now But yeah I get your point Thank you One thing is clear from this story: I'm not enough

Yeah you right, I do my best and God decide what actually happens. Thank God for that moment, I’d like to order more of that, please. It’s divinely delicious.

Even without totally concrete proof, if you study: 1) Epstein’s psychology, 2) the potential effects of stem cells on the human body, and 3) the fact that he potentially had the power and ability to do it, what would stop him? His principles? I’m 99.9% sure that what Leo says about this man is true.

I never understood the concept of transcending Life after a certain number of réincarnations(like sahdguru s claiming that for a reason or another, this is his last Life as a human). I would reincarnate forever as a human(male). that would be heaven for me. Just delete all my memories between each Lifetime (or not :p)

++ for this post

(Sorry it buged) Glad to see you’re carrying the weight of being good on your shoulders it’ll build your soul Do whatever you want. If you feel too weak to tell the truth, you can do that. If you feel strong enough to say it, then of course I’d encourage you to. I was in the same situation 3-4years ago. I sent the woman a short message saying I wasn’t looking for a serious relationship. She replied, ‘no worries :)’. On the next date, we ended up sleeping together. It really depends on the girl. I honestly didn’t expect that myself.

Yeah you might be right, my bad

First of all, I want to clarify that I don’t consider myself either LGBT or anti-LGBT. I don’t really have a stake in it. I just find parts of the LGBT movement quite cringe lately, especially because of what I see as manipulative tactics. I understand that being part of a minority can be difficult, but in my view that doesn’t justify everything that’s sometimes done in the name of the community. That said, I wanted to mention a series I watched which, for me, is the best show I’ve seen in a long time. In it, the main character comes across as non-binary or at least that’s how I personally interpreted her and she’s one of the coolest characters I’ve seen in years. If you haven’t watched the show, I highly recommend it: There are also good examples in Arcane, which is objectively a strong series. Season 1 was great, though I agree that season 2 was disappointing for me, possibly in part because the LGBT messaging felt over-emphasized. Still, the characters themselves are well written. I’m thinking especially of Vi, Jinx’s sister, who is lesbian; Jinx, a chaotic and unstable character; and Ekko, who is probably the closest thing the show has to a traditional hero.

English is not my native language, maybe counter exemples would have been a better title. Just wanted to share that basically

Call it what you like, just examples of well-written shows.

I’ve been reflecting on suffering, and I sense that there is something profoundly deep about it. Many spiritual teachers claim that suffering is merely a concept. I understand what they mean, yet I don’t believe suffering can be reduced to that alone. There is something undeniably profound in it. Someone once said that suffering is the only real thing. I used to dismiss that as neither wise nor insightful, but now I’m not so sure. Perhaps there is truth in it. In many spiritual circles today, it has become almost fashionable to say, ‘I am God.’ It’s repeated so often that it turns into a kind of social belief. But when people speak of God, they often imagine something greater than themselves something purer, more absolute. What if the opposite were true? What if the human being is, in a sense, more than God? A human being is God encountering limits. A human being is God pressing against the edge of what is possible. When a person reaches exhaustion, it is not simply human weakness it is God arriving at the frontier of His own experience. And sometimes, through the human, even that frontier is surpassed. To be human is not to fall short of the divine. It is to be the very movement through which the divine explores, stretches, and transcends itself. So when you suffer and still find the courage to feel that suffering fully, you are not merely touching infinity. You are infinity itself, standing at the edge of its own unfolding. Ps: P.S.: To be clear, I’m not talking about unnecessary or avoidable suffering. Many kinds of suffering should be avoided. I’m talking about the kind that comes from exploring reality deeply even its darkest parts. I don’t mean being careless or putting ourselves in painful situations for no reason. I mean suffering that comes from genuine exploration and experience.

I don’t understand why you keep insisting on that assumption. You can try to understand reality while recognizing that science is a construct of the human mind. It’s possible to engage in science without tying your ego to it simply because we work through our minds, and science can be interesting. Science and Truth are not antagonistic. (I was close to finishing a degree in math and physics when I discovered Actualized.org. I stopped everything about five months after finding the channel. Looking back, I think that was a mistake on my part. I never believed I would reach Truth through science. the only reason I pursued it was that it seemed like the best and most honest thing I could do in this life given my limits as a human being.)

I sold my soul to the devil. I ended up selling my soul to the devil. It disgusts me, but it’s the truth, and I accept it. I take shortcuts. I lie when I need to. That’s it. I’ve crossed over to the other side. And yet, when I was a child, I had a dream. I wanted to be a hero. Not a spectacular hero, not a fictional hero, but a real one. Someone capable of renouncing his desires, of sacrificing himself, of serving something greater than himself. I watched superhero movies with this almost naïve certainty: in this life, nothing prevents you from becoming that kind of person. Nothing prevents you from making the hero real. I thought it was possible. But I failed. I sold my soul to the devil. The trap I fell into wasn’t the temptation of power or money. It was the feeling of injustice. It’s that moment when you realize others allow themselves everything. They lie, manipulate, cheat, crush… and they move forward. And you hesitate. You want to stay upright. You want to stay honorable. But you can see that the world doesn’t necessarily reward that. So a fear settles in. The fear of competing with someone who has no limits. The fear that he’ll surpass you precisely because he allowed himself what you forbade yourself. The fear of losing not because you’re less capable, but because you’re more scrupulous. And that’s when something shifts. You don’t sell your soul out of a taste for evil. You sell it so you won’t be defenseless. You sell it so you won’t fight by rules the other person refuses. You sell it to make sure you can stand on equal ground. You tell yourself: If I stay upright and he doesn’t, he’ll destroy me. So I allow myself what I once refused. And that’s how you cross the line. I think that’s the devil’s real trap: he doesn’t just push you toward wrongdoing, he speaks to you when you’re wounded, when you’ve been betrayed, when the selfishness of others has left marks on your body or your mind while you were trying to be fair. He tells you that you have no choice. He tells you it’s necessary. He tells you it’s for survival. And the worst part is, those reasons sound true. I know they’re only excuses. And I understand now that all the devils in the world have their excuses. Everyone can tell their story, their wounds, their constraints. Everyone can explain why they did what they did. But in the end, the truth remains simple. I sold my soul to the devil. Period. And yet, despite that, I still have one wish left. If somewhere there’s a young person who still dreams of becoming a hero in this life, I want to tell them not to give up. On that path, they will often feel like they’re doing fifteen times more than everyone else. They’ll feel that their altruism, their renunciation, their inner “emptiness” leave enormous space for the selfishness of others. They’ll feel like everyone else takes, and that for them, there’s only a very narrow space left, almost none at all. That’s normal. That’s what the hero’s path feels like. They just have to hold on. They should remember that if they hold on, they’re accomplishing something very few people manage to do. And that, in the end, being a hero may be nothing more than this: living without ever selling your soul to the devil. It sounds simple. But in practice, it’s probably the hardest thing there is.

depends on which level of your being you're referring to haha

Nothing is objectively wrong. Having sex with children is objectively extremely selfish. I did not speak about "evil"

owh nice ! I'll definitely watch those movies ! Thanks " As we have seen, the devil is etymologically associated with the word double, a reference to man's “double-nature” or “hidden self”, beyond the limitations of the mundane ego. As Kenneth Grant observes, Satan (or Set-Anubis) is linked to Shiva, the Great Destroyer, insofar that he destroys our false desires, worldly attachments, egotistical inflations, narcissistic attitudes, and complacent identities, revealing the noumenal source behind appearances. According to Grant, it is ironic that Satan is associated with moral evil, particularly greed, gluttony, egotism, and excess, because he brings death to the ego, revealing the inner light. According to Hillman, to endure the dark night of the soul means "the sacrifice of the mind's bright eye” and a "loss of what we have long considered to be our most precious human holding: Apollonian consciousness.” However, it is only by retreating into the darkness that we discover the True Self since this Self is, ironically, nothingness. Selling one’s soul to the devil therefore symbolises one’s absolute commitment to the initiatory path and the calling of the Higher Self. Your True Will is to ascend into the Three Negative Veils of Existence and discover your essential spiritual nature, beyond the limitations of the mundane ego. The “diabolical pact” is often signed in blood, symbolizing the adept who spilled their blood (i.e. their false desires) into the Cup of Babylon. The pact is one's utter devotion to the Great Work, no matter how painful and difficult, so they can spiritually evolve." That's interesting. I don't think I understood everything though. How does the devil brings death to the ego? I think the devil here is seen more as the spirit that makes human suffer to get closer to God? Kind of?

True Not true I don't want to fix anything. I just want to follow a path I've not been strong enough to follow, or at least just admit my weakness. (I already watched that video)

. I think that throughout history, what humans have always feared most is the truth that we have little to no control. We fear powerlessness, even though in reality our control is very limited. Humans want to feel that they have some control and an understanding of what’s happening.

Thx, that's exactly what I've been telling myself to feel reassured
