  1. I think one of the simplest spiritual practice is to be polite and graceful in your approach. Just say kind words. Begin with kindness. Cultivate compassion.
  2. What's a Scooby - Doo lay?
  3. Thank you for fixing it. I'll read it later and give you feedback.
  4. Celebrimbor has something to say to the haters of RoP:
  5. Omg I laughed so hard. Thanks a lot for the comedian in you.
  6. Sadhguru was blissfully lying on a bed of flowers.
  7. The link to your article doesn't open.
  8. This is not a gender thing. It's like asking who is more greedy, men or women?
  9. Your job is not to convince or de-radicalize a fundamentalist. Your job is to prevent a youth from being radicalized and this is achieved by elevating the consciousness across the board. The root cause of all maladies is low consciousness. With high consciousness, even religion will have very little impact. You're not looking at the absolute, instead you choose to look at it through a microscope. I'm telling you to see the bigger picture.
  10. If there's no dogma, humans will invent it. If you want change in religion or world, you'll need tectonic shifts in human consciousness on a mass scale like a mushrooming of stage Turquoise throughout the world. Elevating human consciousness is tough. One human baby at a time. That's why the work of spiritualists is so fundamental to human change. Cultural shift. Shift in global consciousness. Not impossible. But a lofty goal. Gigantic effort. Start with one human.
  11. The fundamental problem is not religion itself. It's way it's designed. Religion is like a software program. If you run an outdated Windows 97 program, you'll have frustration because it won't meet your needs. However you can modify and change this software to aid your processes. Similarly religion can be modified and redesigned to aid human survival and continuity. The problem is not that the design is not possible, the real problem lies in fundamentalism, when someone sticks to an outdated script and follows it verbatim, that's when a problem arises as it clashes with human liberty. If you remove dogmatism and fundamentalism from religion, then there are several parts of it that benefit collective human survival.
  12. It's up to men to create the civilization that they create. Men can use their masculine energy to bring about almost anything. When I see men struggling in a certain place, I have observed this weird dynamic that those men don't band together as a tribe. They are not united in effort or ambition. In places where men tend to flourish, I have seen that they work together as a team. Masculinity and masculine energy when united and focused can achieve almost anything. So when men are complaining about their state of living, it's because there's something lacking in them collectively that they fail to address.
  13. Because we're born out of sex sex sex sex sex sex sex sex sex sex sex sex sex sex.
  14. I asked AI chat bot and it gave me this answer — Conversation with ChatGPT Difference between human mind and AI Show drafts Human Mind vs. AI: Key Differences While AI has made significant strides in mimicking human thought and behavior, there are fundamental differences between the human mind and artificial intelligence. 1. Biological vs. Digital: Human mind: A biological system, composed of neurons, synapses, and neurotransmitters. AI: A digital system, operating on computer hardware and software. 2. Consciousness and Self-Awareness: Human mind: Possesses consciousness, self-awareness, and subjective experiences. AI: While AI can exhibit intelligent behavior and learn, it lacks consciousness and self-awareness. 3. Emotions and Intuition: Human mind: Capable of experiencing emotions and making intuitive judgments. AI: While AI can simulate emotions or make decisions based on patterns, it lacks genuine emotional experiences. 4. Creativity and Imagination: Human mind: Possesses creativity, imagination, and the ability to generate new ideas. AI: While AI can generate creative content based on patterns, it lacks the same level of originality and imagination as humans. 5. Contextual Understanding: Human mind: Can understand context, nuances, and subtleties in language and situations. AI: While AI can process language and information, it may struggle with understanding context and nuances. 6. Learning and Adaptation: Human mind: Learns through experience, observation, and social interaction. AI: Learns through algorithms and data, but may be limited in its ability to adapt to new situations. 7. Ethics and Morality: Human mind: Guided by ethical principles and moral values. AI: While AI can be programmed with ethical guidelines, it lacks intrinsic moral understanding. In conclusion, while AI has made significant advancements, the human mind remains a complex and multifaceted system with unique capabilities that are not yet fully replicated by artificial intelligence.

  15. A better question is - what's the actual difference between The Human Mind (and brain) and AI? If you're able to answer this question, you got this.
  16. But this is not to imply that Turquoise is baloney.
  17. There's no clear evidence of this. It's he said she said. Personally Sadhguru has benefitted me a lot and millions of others. He is the reason I have some hope for spirituality otherwise it's pretty much dead or replaced with new age horseshit. That's why I listen to him. His is not a cult, he can be questioned about anything, he has the patience of a saint and the only role model left in the spiritual world today, it's sad he gets targeted because of his popularity or blamed for someone else's actions. Sadhguru has followed a pure path so far.
  18. But it also doesn't make it bad per se especially if a person is deriving great benefit and no visible harm.
  19. You have to think there's something natural about it like sex. Because it has existed for the entirety of human existence.
  20. You'll not find spirituality here. They simply discuss existential questions and solipsism. There's no chicken, only biryani.
  21. This is not a test, it's perfectly natural and normal to experience just a few of these signs and symptoms. Not every stage must be "passed" for a true spiritual awakening, we are all different. However, once you have dramatically raised your vibration and unleashed your divine level of consciousness, once this whole process is in the books — your life will be 100% revolutionized, with countless benefits seen on all fronts.
