  1. My guess would be because they've never felt respected or cared about by anyone, and they believe that putting on an “attitude” will get them respect (and attention) that they wouldn't otherwise receive on their own merit. It's probably also a self-defense mechanism to protect their actually fragile egos from the abuse they're accustomed to in their rough culture, which is a culture of self-degradation, ruthless envy, teasing, and bullying, and very little compassion, respect or kindness. People don't come out of the womb wired to act “ghetto”; they learn to behave that way from their mothers, schoolmates, neighbors, and the influences of cultural media. The way that people treat others is usually a reflection of the behaviors that have been modeled to them and of how they've been treated themselves. The way I've seen many “ghetto” women treating their kids in public is tragic—-cussing at them, threatening to hit them (who knows what they do at home), and being generally harsh and gruff with them, as though the children are a burden on their life. Imagine how growing up with such a mother (and having a father you never see and may not even know the identity of because he abandoned your mother when she got pregnant, as he did other women) will affect a child's self-esteem and self-respect. Then they go to a public school full of kids like themselves who act out the verbal and physical aggression and abuse they've received from their mothers—-and the emotional incontinence, and the lack of manners and respect for others they were never taught—on each other. And the entertainment media that their unscrupulous parents allow them to watch and listen to instruct them in all the behaviors of vice and degeneracy, telling them that those things are what is “cool” and admirable. There is no one to teach them otherwise, either at home or at school or in their neighborhood. Being ostentatious and loud, demanding and rude, vulgar, aggressive, belligerent, promiscuous, irresponsible, and ignorant of etiquette and decorum, all come from the examples that have been set for them, the lack of constructive discipline, and a life of emotional neglect and abuse by people who should have nurtured them. Pity people like that; they don't know any better. Had they been raised differently, they would think and behave differently. That doesn't excuse their poor behaviors, but it can and should create some compassionate understanding for those who were unfortunate in the circumstances of their birth in those who have been more fortunate.
  2. 1. Enlightenment is the end of suffering. 2. The “self” as we know it can’t reach the end of suffering because the core of its existence is anxiety. 3. The self who seeks enlightenment is like a salt doll trying to swim across a river. 4. Just like you can’t make a cherry pie without cherries, you can’t reach the end of suffering without questioning your belief in your “self.” But people fall into this in a variety of ways. Some people will tell you they actively questioned their concept of “self.” Others will tell you they just fell in love with everything, or they didn’t do anything at all. Their experience sure changed, though. They stopped having problems, so they stopped being a person who “has problems.” To “find” enlightenment, you have to refrain from creating the waves of conceptual thought that push it away. Instead of reaching for enlightenment as an object of thought, keep your attention on the one who is reaching. Just notice consciousness. Notice existence. Notice ‘I Am.’
  3. Those who go deep in spirituality start realising this and feel eternal love and bliss for everyone and everything. Forgiveness manifests itself in such people and they live free. The feeling of hatred evaporates and love fills up their life.
  4. Great answer! Many people like to think of themselves as a distinct part of god. In the same way a wave is connected and part of one great whole ocean, but is ALSO distinct, everything is distinct but connected through causation itself to the source/everything. Everything. Literally every-thing is god. Is IT. All that you see. It’s good to be open minded to everything before you scream like a crazy person that your literally God and not a mini version of the big one🤭
  5. First let us examine the role of the breath relative to prana. The breath does serve to keep the prana or our life force in the body and feeds it. This is much like how food is necessary to develop and feed the tissues of the body. Breathing is the main function of the prana to sustain our physical life. Prana derives from various external sources starting with the air taken by the lungs, the movement of the breath. This action of breathing is the main and most immediate life function we have. If a person fails to breathe, life cannot be sustained for very long afterwards. We take in pranic life energy from our various openings or orifices in the head. These include the eyes, ears, nostrils and mouth. Air is taken in through the nostrils, sensations through the eyes and ears, food and beverages and air through the mouth. The mind is also connected to these senses and brings in the life energy of words, emotions and thoughts, which includes that through human contact at a mental level. The breath also energizes the senses and mind and promotes digestion. We also take in life energy from the skin and the sense of touch that covers the entire body. The breath is only one part of this, though central in its function.
  6. The Meaning of Truth is Infinite By saying that “the truth is infinite”, I don’t mean that there are infinite separate truths, each of which is just one truth. What I mean is that there are infinite truths that are mutually inseparable such that we cannot discount the presence of other things in knowing anything. This is a common theme in atomic physics where the problem is called entanglement. Its importance has been minimized by the false assumption that quantum physics might eventually reduce to classical physics, where we would be able to separate the entangled parts into individual parts. The ontological assumptions of separability are so deep in science that even when entanglement is seen, it is hoped that it will eventually disappear. To think of an entangled reality, we have to visualize reality as a single body or an organism. In contrast, modern science visualizes reality as comprising many independent parts, which is called mechanism. We cannot know any part of the body without understanding the body as a whole. The grasp of the whole assists the grasp of the parts and vice versa. By “the truth is infinite” therefore I mean that each truth is infinite, rather than there are infinite truths. Everyone can accept that there are infinite truths. But reducing that infinity to individual things that are one truth each is the method of modern science. This method has deep roots in Christianity where all individuals are things-in-themselves. Each individual is then just one truth unrelated to the other individuals that are separate truths. The reductionism of modern science is also a Christian theme. Thus we see a continuity from Greek antiquity to modern times in terms of fundamental principles of reductionism, individualism, and separationism. The superficial ideas have changed, but the deep underlying themes have remained unchanged. It is these themes that lead to incompleteness, because reality is entangled. Entanglement is not just an ontological claim, but an epistemological, and logical one too because it changes our idea of knowing (i.e., one thing cannot be known in isolation) and logic (three principles of Aristotelian logic don’t hold). If we persist on treating entanglement as merely an ontological problem, and try to grasp this ontology within the traditional Western epistemology and logic, then we get incompleteness in which either the unity or the diversity are unknowable.
  7. What is the understanding of God in non-duality? Does God exist? Can anything be said about the nature of God? For some, the idea of a creator God distinct from creation is untenable. For others, any outlook which denies that there is a supremely powerful Being which is the ultimate source of our existence and thus worthy of the highest reverence, is unsatisfactory. There are good grounds for both these views, so these are delicate questions. In non-duality, ‘God’ is one of the names for ultimate reality, the highest truth. The Sanskrit word is Brahman, which is sometimes translated as God the Absolute. The Existence of God in Non-duality On the question of whether Brahman, the Absolute, exists, the answer from the non-dual perspective is that, strictly speaking, nothing but Brahman exists. God is ultimate reality. Anything seen as separate from God is incomplete and tentative. When we think about these questions it is helpful to remember that the complications are caused by the limits of our minds. Our minds are finite instruments, so they cannot grasp God, the total reality. Our minds and senses can effectively investigate the world of nature, of which they are part. The knowledge gained through scientific investigation has transformed our understanding of the universe and the quality of our lives. But our minds cannot encompass the Totality; every scientific discovery also opens up new questions. Still, we can logically infer that quite apart from our knowledge, and our ignorance, there exists Absolute Reality. The Creator God in Non-duality Is ‘God’ or ‘Brahman’ to be thought of as the creator of the World? When we think of God the Absolute, Brahman, that evidently includes all. There is no time or space ‘outside’ Brahman, so within God there can be no creation, no coming into being of something that was not there before. At the same time, the world revealed to our senses certainly does have its source and origin in Brahman. Logic and reason lead to the conclusion that nothing ‘happens’ in Brahman; and that at the same time, nothing can exist or happen outside of Brahman. This does not mean that God is a logical contradiction, it simply means that the nature of God lies beyond the limits of our understanding. It is not surprising really, that ultimate Reality cannot be contained within our minds, which are details in reality. So the non-dual view is that ultimately God, and God alone, exists Absolutely. That is the ultimate source and sustainer of all, and is thus worthy of the highest reverence and gratitude. At the same time, no image, no understanding that we can form in our minds, can be the whole truth, so wisdom begins with humility. This is a theme common to the deeper teachings of all the great wisdom traditions. Can we turn to the God of Non-duality? What can we do if we feel an impulse to turn to Truth, ultimate Reality, God the Absolute? This is where the non-dual teachings can most help us. They recognise these logical conclusions that Reality cannot be grasped by the mind, and at the same time, that Truth is the reality in us, the ground of our being, so to say. So we turn to truth not simply by more thinking, but most importantly by learning to still and purify our minds. It is in this stillness and purity that we discover more of the nature of our own being, which is not separate from the Being of all. This is the purpose of meditation and the related practices. The non-dual teachings present another important insight, which is that God may be called Being Absolute and also Consciousness Absolute. This means that if we discover the true nature of our own consciousness, we discover Absolute consciousness, God, Brahman; not as an idea or object of experience, but as our Self. This is where divisions and not-knowing are dissolved in non-dual truth. Such ideas can sound distant and abstract. But the teachings on reality and God in non-duality help us at every step. If we feel the need for a deeper communion, a sense of more complete wholeness and oneness with all, the teachings indicate the steps we can take to reduce the distractions and disturbances in our mind, and approach the reality that is ever the truth within us, ever free, fearless and fulfilled.
  8. You know what that makes more sense because in dreams its all you, but then it will lead us to solopolism which is kinda crazy but yet the only logical conclusion to the nature of reality! What do you stand on that subject?

  11. Alright brothers I will share my 100% honest and real experience with No Fap aka Semen Retention. About 5 years ago I was going through a very dark phase of my life. I was lonely and not so confident. I always felt tired and started to loose motivation towards the life I wanted to build for my self. I felt like I was just existing not living.. I would masturbate several times a week and It was destroying me. I felt disgusted after watching porn and just wanking off to a screen instead of making love to a real woman. I knew deep down that it was a soul crushing habbit. So I got really serious about quitting porn and started researching on how to rewire my brain. I’m not gonna lie it was the hardest challenge I have ever faced as a man. I failed many times the first few months but I did not give up… After 3 months of going strong and not giving up again and again I finally reached my 23 day streak of No Fap. Look man I want you to remember this !! Who ever tells you to not be on No Fap and waste your life source your power as a man your happiness your joy to a screen for a 0.2 seconds of fake pleasure dosen’t want to see you win in life... or they are simply not man enough to practice No Fap / Semen Retention. Run far away from these men who are against no fap… think for yourself. Now back to that first time I went on a 23 day of my No Fap streak.. I started to experience insanely high energy levels and pure emotions, confidence was just beyond words but there are some things I have experienced and I continue to experience till this day are just almost impossible to imagine but 100% true… I had two different women approach me at the day of my friends wedding. and just so you know I have never ever in my life been approached by a woman. The first woman walked up to me and and said she saw a bright light in my eyes. There is something about me she couldn’t describe but sensed it.. Your eyes are full of life I just couldn’t stop observing you and had to come say hi! she said.. On the same day later that night when I got back home my room mate had some female friends over at the house which I had never met before. They were both extremely attractive women the kind of women I wouldn’t try approaching because they were just too beautiful for me at that time and I believed I simply had no chance.. Later that night those women who were hanging out in our back yard with my roommate saw me from a distance and instantly walked up to me and said “ You have a powerful aura ” and then started thr conversation. Well I have never heard that one before either so I ended up sitting down with these girls for a short time but during our conversation both of those girls said “ I have a unique energy which is very intriguing and powerful “ I exchanged numbers with one girl that day who was a 12/10.. she told me I made her nervous. she said I was radiating so much masculinity and good energy that she was drawn towards me.. She also stated that she has never met any man so far in her entire life who was as charming, full of life and extremely masculine as me.. and she was not drunk. well I knew thats because majority of men jerk off multiple times in a week most of their life and never get to to see the true power they posses. Its not just about women attraction. Life becomes 10000x times better after long streaks of No Fap. Its almost impossible to go back to your old self and start masturbating again… Just recently as I was about to get on a packed train in New York City.. there was a toddler who was crying and screaming and people were not enjoying it.. As soon as the little baby looked into my eyes he stopped crying and people were shocked. Even his parents told me that their baby has never stopped crying all of a sudden like this so far... they smiled at me and I left. The baby kept looking into my eyes staring at my soul. My life has changed and has become million times better than before. I have more control as a man over my life, I have become insanely charasmatic and confident. Men respect me everywhere I go. I mean 6.2ft scary looking dudes nod their head when they see me.. its unreal man. The power of it is insane. Feels like a superpower. But it demands alot of dedication. You simply just dont give up. Keep mainting your streaks and avoid sexual content as much as you can. Sometimes I dont believe the man I have become and I am proud of myself.. Women and Men sense your masculinity and the life force you hold. Little things make me happy now.. just looking at the sky man. Its unreal. I use to do cocaine, mdma, weed, alocohal pretty much most of the hardcore drugs and still end up wanting more then sad and depressed. Now every time I see my dog I become the happiest man on the planet.. I value this one life I have and I am insanely motivated to do better and leave my legacy. I have connected with a woman who also has a powerful aura / high vibration. She constantly reminds me till this day that how powerful my presence is.. and I met her while I was on No Fap!! I have made brothers for life, I have become much much more healthier mentally and physically… NoFap is a superpower I wish you Good Luck on this journey if you guys follow it, It will not be an easy battle but you will be rewarded for this dicipline and you will see the true most powerful version of your self. If I did it. you can definetely do it!

  13. There are two ways to perceive life – 1. from a point of separation 2. from a point of oneness. When you perceive life from a point of separation you can’t help but suffer because it disconnects you from the inherent truth of life, which is “oneness”. When you perceive life from a point of oneness there is no resistance in you, which obliterates 99.9% of your suffering (the 0.1 is basically some unavoidable physical discomforts), and allows you to be aligned with the movement of your life-stream, causing a smooth flow of your natural expression. When you are perceiving life from a point of separation, no matter what you learn, no matter what your understand, no matter what you achieve, you always feel incomplete, insecure and unfulfilled – this is simply because the idea of separation is not in sync with life which inherently has no separation, it’s just one space of energy. So basically, if you don’t understand anything, but if you can just gain an understanding of the oneness of life, it’s enough to bring your life into alignment. Once you see life from the perspective of oneness, it totally shifts the way you perceive reality – there arises an undeniable inner sense of “all is well”, irrespective of some “human perspectives” of the brain/mind. However, it takes a while, for many people, to really come to terms with what this word “oneness” implies, though it’s really simple – oneness is just a pointer to the simple fact that there is just one being, one space of energy, one source, one ultimate presence, which manifests as everything through various streams of intentions. If you just read these words with the brain, you may have confusions or might even think this is some “philosophy”, but if you read these words from your being, or heart, you just know this oneness as the inherent living truth of life.
