Spiritual Warfare

Both approaches are necessary because balance is key. This includes everything, even indulging in casual encounters with a hoe. Achieving wholeness is impossible, and I believe you should spend one month exploring the futility of that pursuit. Then, dedicate the following month to indulging in ego-driven pleasures. Establish routines, and don't worry about right or wrong, just follow your feelings. In the end, none of it really matters.

Respect.

Ok

What are your thoughts on this? I believe it's a serious claim. If Musk is correct, it could have major consequences. v12025gd0000cs2con7og65hvddbkc1g.mp4

Various factors explain the behavior of subgroups within a population, including geographic, ethnic, political, and religious groups. Two major factors often mentioned are socio-economic conditions and political oppression. At what point can we identify cultural factors as reasons for certain behaviors, separate from socio-economic or political influences? For example, when discussing terrorism, one perspective argues it results from oppression, while another suggests it arises from cultural beliefs. Some believe both factors play a role. When can we distinguish cultural factors from influences like geography, socio-economics, or individual psychology? Can someone be a "culturist," meaning have a moral stance against certain cultures? Should we be tolerant of all cultural practices, even if we disagree? If tolerance is necessary, how far should it extend? The key question is: when can we no longer blame socio-economic or oppressive conditions for cultural traits that some may view as negative? Is it acceptable to identify as a "culturist"?

In my opinion, the Gospel of Thomas is the least corrupted of all the gospels. It represents authentic spirituality without any humiliation of humanity.

Jesus taught reincarnation in secret, but some references made it through the Bible. These include Matthew 11:13-14, Matthew 17:10-13, Genesis 9:6, and Revelation 3:12.

You are wrong. A Jedi is bound by the code.

How do you know if you are loved? How does the other person treat you? Do they make you feel small and stupid, or interesting and accomplished? Do they support your ambitions or celebrate your failures? Do you trust them with an embarrassing secret? If you called them at 3 a.m. because you were stranded at a closed mall due to your own foolishness, would they come to get you?

😂😁

Is it possible to learn this power?

Porn often shows sex in really extreme ways just to grab attention and make money. It can make violence or dominance seem normal or even exciting. I think that is wrong because it does not represent real sex. However, we live in a world where money talks.

Feelings aren't always valid, they can deceive us and lead to poor decisions. However, if a religious person needs their faith and book to be moral, I think it's good they have it. But most people can manage without one. That's why we need to teach people to ask questions, not blindly follow orders. Even if someone has been deeply influenced by their beliefs, they should still admit they don’t hold the ultimate truth, and that others with different beliefs aren’t necessarily wrong. The issue is, many can't think outside their belief system. That’s why those of us who can must help them, because there's a problem when people can't consider other perspectives or question their own. It’s dangerous, especially since these individuals vote and impact society. They can also harm themselves when their beliefs don’t align with reality. You say it's not your place to take away someone’s 'infinite, eternal security blanket.' I get that. But what if that blanket is being used to justify actions that harm others or limit their rights? Should we still let them cling to it if it’s causing damage, or is there a point where we have to challenge their beliefs for the greater good?

I think religion is a cancer on humanity and a self-induced mental illness. Everywhere it goes, it perpetuates intellectual dishonesty, prejudice, misogyny, homophobia, death, and fear. I think religious organizations should be taxed. I think religion should not be taught in schools. I think children should be protected from religious indoctrination in the same way they’re protected from cocaine, heroin, and crystal meth. I think religion should not be used as an excuse for someone to slice the foreskin off a baby boy or the clitoris off a baby girl. I think religion should not be used as an excuse for somebody to walk into a bank with their entire face covered. Religion is basically somebody believing there’s an invisible fairy who lives in the sky. Why would you play along with another adult's delusion unless they’re mentally ill? Look at it this way Scenario 1 Doctor: Congratulations, Mrs. Smith, you have a healthy baby boy. Mother: Thank you, Doctor. Now, how soon can I book him in to have his genitals mutilated? Doctor: Mrs. Smith! That’s terrible! Mother: Oh, no, you don’t understand - I read a book written by Bronze Age people who said I’m supposed to mutilate him. Asking for consent or caring about his wishes is irrelevant. Doctor: Oh, yes, of course. I’ll just get my scalpel. Scenario 2 Doctor: Mr. Smith, your 3-year-old son is bleeding very profusely after the car accident. But it’s okay, we can transfuse him and he’ll be just fine. Mr. Smith: Oh, no, don’t do that. I think we should just let him bleed to death. Doctor: WHAT?!! Mr. Smith: You don’t understand, Doctor. I read a magazine that said there’s a big fairy in the sky who cries when someone has a blood transfusion. Doctor: Oh, yes, how silly of me. You can go in now and say goodbye. Scenario 3 Mr. Jones: Excuse me, sir, I’m feeling rather under the weather. May I have a bottle of your finest cow piss for me to drink, please? Shopkeeper: WHAT?!! Mr. Jones: Oh yes, cow piss. What else would I drink if I’m feeling ill? It’s magic because it comes from a cow. Shopkeeper: Oh, yes, certainly. How silly of me. Here you go. Religion is a self-induced mental illness and a cancer on humanity. We need to know how to live life in the best possible way to be happy, confident, healthy, and capable, and how to live in harmony with others and nature. And we need to find answers to important, basic questions, like: Where did we come from? What is the purpose of life? Where will we go from here? What is this world made of? And most importantly: Who are we? Our present-day science doesn’t give us the necessary guidance nor answers to these questions, as it is still in its infancy exploring consciousness. Religion is considered the authority in this realm, but it has gravely failed us. In fact, it may have deceived us right from the start, less than 2000 years ago. By ‘religion’ I mean here the two biggest religions, which have almost four billion members and both of which claim to be the only ‘true’ religion. Why do I say that religion has deceived us? Because these two religions claim that they know the full truth, but how can there be two different full truths? Moreover, how can religion, which is meant to help humanity, turn out to be most harmful for humanity with millions killed in its name? No. We do not need a religion that tells us what to believe but prohibits us from questioning. We do not need a religion that insists, without any proof, that the whole world must follow it. We do not need a religion that tells us to look down on others for the sole reason that they are not members of ‘our’ religion. And definitely, we do not need a religion that even condones the killing of others in the name of religion – which has happened far too often over the last 1700 years. So if neither science nor religion can help us, what do we do? Luckily, the knowledge of how to live life in the best possible way is available, as are the answers to the above questions. It was memorized and preserved in the brains of long, long lines of many Brahmin families over many thousands of years. I mean the Vedas of India. We do need Vedic knowledge. It is vast, too vast to mention here. It even includes what to eat or how to conduct the affairs of the state; yet the most important point is this: The subtle essence in all is one and the same. The best description is Sat-chit-ananda = being blissfully aware. This is the real ‘thing’. It is the truth. And we are one with it. If religion is the only thing preventing you from behaving poorly, it suggests that your true nature may be less admirable than you’d like to believe. Have you got something to say? (; @Leo Gura

Yes, and that's why I'm crying in the bathroom.

People often believe that even if the human mind is limited, the tools we create with it (like AI) can overcome any limitations and allow us to understand the whole universe. For the sake of argument, let's assume that: 1) The universe is not infinitely small, and we have discovered the most fundamental particles in the future. 2) We have infinite time to study these particles and access the resources we need. 3) We stop evolving biologically during this time. Imagine we place two fundamental particles in an isolated system we understand completely, with no outside influences. Would we still be unable to predict their behavior? We might have all the data, but it could still appear random and defy our understanding. This scenario is plausible because our minds are limited by their foundational concepts. Logic connectors like "and" cannot be broken down further. While we can create alternatives, they are still based on these existing concepts. What are the odds that our evolutionary-derived notions are suitable for understanding the entire universe? They work for our Earthly environment, but that’s just a tiny fraction of what exists. It seems arrogant for humans to assume the universe follows the same logic as our minds. I also find it ridiculous to think AI can solve everything; it can only create combinations of existing data, not invent something entirely new.

Hard game.

🩸😈

Is the mind not all-powerful?

I really hope you are right, but for now, I can't see any other way. Keep in mind that many people today don’t even want a female president because they have been brainwashed into thinking that a woman cannot be a leader, which is ridiculous.

I will see blood.

That is better than the experience we have right now! Boredom wouldn't even exist if we were infinite, I think.

That is absolutely true! Take me back to God mode right now, no more silly games.

That's the thing. The universe is so mysterious, it makes me want to scream so the whole world can hear.

Yeah, I wish I could trade this human identity for something more powerful😂
