Maybe it means pride? Being full of yourself. Could be interpreted as pride perhaps also. There are many different translations. Most of them are truly pathetic is what i found. The most appealing and beautiful translation for me is by Gia Fu Feng & Jane English. Recommend by echkart tolle. Here's how it sounds in this particular translation. Beautiful, always puts me into this amazing primordial presence reading these poems.

My guess would be that there's a very weak spiritual foundation. That's why all the madness went out of control. I also believe that maybe there's a ton of madness and delusions in your subconcious and it all started to come out and since the foundation of meditation is weak there was no equanimity and ability to just remain aware and still to let it all work itself out and purge your subconcious. That would be my guess of what happened. Also rather then relying of psychedelics to become happy i'd recommend sober practices like meditation, yoga, etc. It’s 1000x smarter choice then psychedelics imo.

@UnbornTao okey, okey, Gosh...

I bet ralston not only dismisses psychedelics but dismisses all other paths that lead to enlightenment like yoga, bhakti, purification of the mind, kundalini etc. If i had to guess i would say he's just playing coy. That's what they all do. Dismiss everything else and say my path is the best. Justifyable behavior tho with certain wisdom behind it i think.

What a hell is going on here. Mash potatoes.

@JoeVolcano ?

"There are no degrees of consciouness and no drug can ever alter or affect consciouness in any way and will not be able to do that in any time in the future". That's a decent argument and I agree with it. But drugs can alter the ego. It can (potentially in some cases) eliminate the influence and contractions of the ego and remove the veils that make the realization of the absolute eternal reality difficult. So yea. There're no degrees of consciouness. But there are degrees of ego trancendence. The more ego is trancendenced and deeper depth of absolute gets realized... this one argument would be enough to debunk what brandon and ralston says about psychedelics imo. Tho i still don't support psychedelics because they have other problems with it. Sometimes i wonder if ralston understands that, but is just playing coy for people's benefit. Almost every legit guru do these tricks in my view.

That's a lot to unpack tho. And im not a fan of venting also venting, drama, and triggered debates are the only times when i post on the forum usually, but im trying to go beyond that now Neo advaita makes many claims it's hard to find a starting place when nobody is triggering me if u want, give me the best arguments of neo advaita and we can have a discussion about what flaws it has or doesn’t have one by one.

I wish I could explain the flaw in neo advaita for someone some day without creating conflict and angry dabates. That would be a lot of joy for me.

U should condense your problem into one sentence. Then the answer becomes clear by itself very easily.

@Dany Balan u don't experience hornyness also? ? maybe that's a good thing. Some spend decades of meditation to transcend lust ?

Remarkable analysis with so much good valid argumentation. ?

@Nilsi maybe you're right, i haven't study carl jungs archetypes so i can't comment anything. ?

So you're saying peterson will never change his opinion because he and putin are the same? That's an odd argument ? Lol, just kidding

Hmmm. Maybe. Not sure why u say this so confidently. He looks pretty open minded to me. Except maybe when he's triggered and defensive like right now. Won't argue further with this bc idk him personally.

I think when it comes to logic, peterson is very consistent and spot on most of the time. And if he's wrong and u dabate him, he will be open minded and change his view if u prove him wrong. But in this case they can't even point out exacly what is wrong with peterson's perspective. I think they just don't like his tone. And that's all it takes. Transgender defenders don't care about logic. And if u have a bad tone and u question the validity of transgender worldview and phylosophy. U're finnished. ? that's just the name of the game right now.

Maybe just remove the title "girlfriend" and continue being friends and see where it goes. It seems like u were going along well with each other untill the label got attached. So remove all labels even "friends" and be with him if u like him and if u don't, don't be with him. And if u get aroused get closer and get more intimate and if no arausal is there just have fun in other ways. Or do whatever idk.

Yes. Discriminators are people too. They also need acceptance ?

I know how he feels. Getting warrning points is the most triggering, anger-inflamming thing ever ? i can see him venting here strongly ?

?

Haha ? face the truth!

The ultimate test to see if you're transphobic or not is to have sex with a transperson. If u can't do that. You're transphobic. And should be banned or getting warrning points ?

Maybe a mobilephobic? Kidding ?

i get Red lines for everything.
