If money is not a resource, then what is it？ Even if I grant that it is not a resource and you are talking about something like food. It is overabundant for sure. Have you seen the ammounts of food wastage every year? It's over a billion tons of food. There's more than enough for everybody. World hunger is just humans being selfish and lazy.

This is not actually the case. Money is infinite. The bank lend WAY more money than it has. In fact it lends money that it DOESNT have in reserve. The economy is basically a circle jerk between banks playing with imaginary money and maintaining inequality in society.

yep

The refined one definitely is. Which is the one that people eat the most and is produced en masse

Oh you sweet thing Chasing that dopamine rush

@Apparition of Jack The thing is, this system is artificial misery. The central banks & government can literally print out infinite money. Granted, that`s not to say it wouldn`t create problems, but if you really look into it, money doesn`t even exist. Get that. Money is not tied to gold anymore -- meaning the bank can lend money that it doesnt have. Money is literally created out of nothing, its just digits on your screen. The reason you don`t have a billion dollars right now is because the rulling elite doesn`t want to. But if they really want it, you could have a billion dollars right now and there would be NO consequences whatsoever because theres no scarcity of money -- it`s infinite. Essentially, scarcity is a lie, and people suffer because the elite are selfish bastards and want to maintain their power at the expense of others.

Yeah, no, sorry Kid but you are stage bloooo jk jk. You need to conform to the forum's favorite pet model

Buddhism is about Truth, not about only transcending suffering. Buddha didn't sit for thousands of hours, carved his own path, and dismissed teachers just so he could transcend suffering and achieve ease of mind. He wanted to know what's up, what he is, what reality is. He taught the noble eightfold path because he understood that the path of moderation, and virtuous living would reduce suffering AND eventually get you to Truth. It's interconnected. You should study Buddhism more seriously.

How many monks achieved the Turiya state(pure consciousness) in your community? Did you witness a monk awakening in your community? If so, how was it？

I too had my weeb phase haha, even went as far as to learn Japanese. Cool language btw, way simpler than people make out to be. And pretty. Yes I see your point. We do have uncouncious emotions stored in us. Part of spirituality is to bring that to the surface to integrate and transcend it. To go beyond psychology so to speak. But I really didnt like the emphasis of that in the story, in my view its too much. The director even said that it was his objective to make Shinji as insufferable as possible. He also went to some depression and thats why the show lean on that. Different strokes to different folks I guess

Do you like animes? Never watched Eva but If you consume anime eventually you will know about Eva without even watching it. It is good work, but I will never put the time to watch it because of the things I learned about the main character, cant really relate to him. Theres such a thing as a too flawed character.

Investment, build yourself so much that you don't need to work anymore. Or work very little. Or become a full-time monk for sometime The reason Buddha was able to "do it" was not because he was wealthy, it was because he said screw the world and pursued loneliness by himself. It was his will and ambition. If anything one of the reason Buddha is revered is because he threw away all his wealth like it was nothing.

I get it, everyone has a standard. I think yours will only be cleared if you personally have a sighting, but maybe not even that, maybe an onboarding experience with the ETs will be needed. But then again, you can even doubt that and discard it as a hallucination. But what is a hallucination and what isnt? hehe tricky stuff

Every knowledge was once -- anecdotal. Actually if you really think about it everything is anecdotal. Things come through your lense and only yours. Why do you trust others anyway, where is your rigor?? However "credible" a source is, why do you trust then and dont doubt then to death too? lol. How much rigor should one have? This is an impossible to answer question because, well, questioning will always exist and because things can be true but not provable. The topic of UFOs is a tricky one, because it can shape and change one`s entire worldview. So you are right in being skeptical, but at least be open-minded and investigate the field more.

One could say the Dogs can't because they don't know any better, but this is not the case with God. Although I think theres no ultimate reason of God's actions -- by being spontaneous without a cause and thus Love(circular and loopy). There could be some universal truths about God's way of being, actions and design, and those could be explained. Like karma, learning or something like that.

You`re stage blooooo

why is that?

Is this the ultimate explanation? Boredom？ I don't think God is dreaming this human life out of boredom per se, that's too limiting I feel. I don't know if it even has a why of why God dreams, that too would be limiting. Maybe its really unknowable of why consciousness does the thing it does -- like Shankara concluded. Or maybe it does have an answer, but I dont think its out of Boredom, maybe selflessness would be more appropriate.

If a practioner attain this state, why does he comeback? Does "he" have a choice? Or this is one of the mysteries of consciousness that has no answers?

@The Fetus Blesser Did you make this banger???!

Damn! Must've been tough times indeed. Hard to imagine you like that Interesting, so you got a lot of real world socialization out of it. You got some balls to meet online gamers -- the risks... especially for a woman . I personally never played Wow myself but yeah, nice to know your competitiveness in it . You will lose to me in any fighting game tho What might go on, in Natasha's mind... scary shit I bet haha😈.

@Leo Gura How is this new psychedelic potency-wise? Is it comparable to 5-meo, or lsd, or much stronger?

So you were a competitive demon back then?😈🧩🕹️ I don`t judge, I come from similar backgrounds. Played a lot of dota 2, fighthing games such as Street fighther, Tekken, anime ones(Blazblue, Guilty Gear). I always prefered 1 vs 1 games over team games, I couldn`t stand losing because of someone else`s mistakes. But I wonder, where does that competitiveness and a need to dunk on people come from？

Never thought Natasha was a channer We all come from somewhere right?!
