How to be wise

I don't know what the age of consent is where you are in Florida, but here in London it's sixteen. So, if your birthday is the 21st February, that means having sex with you on the 22nd February is fine, but having sex on the 20th is evil and unacceptable. Really? Why would I be hurting you on the 20th if only two days later it will be fine? The reason I'm not a mod is because I haven't been willing to kiss Leo's ring and bow down to him. I want to help you no matter whether what I say is politically correct or not. So I'll say it: You would be happier right now loving your uncle as a pedophile than hating him. If your religion is causing you suffering, you must recognise that happiness can only be attained by leaving this religion. I want you to move on from your uncle and find happiness now.

@MsNobody I haven’t. But I’m certain that the number 1 barrier for having sex with children is not that they think it’s evil. It’s the fear of going to prison. These men, including your uncle, suffer less because they don’t accept the worldview of “sex with children is evil”. Why don’t you adopt their strategy of feeling better by dropping that worldview?

@MsNobody You can choose your story of “sex with children is evil” and keep suffering, or decide that I want to find peace under any circumstance, including by releasing this worldview. I want you to find peace.

I wasn’t trying to hurt you. I was just giving my honest commentary of this situation. I understand it was painful for you. But I can guarantee that you would’ve suffered less if you didn’t buy into the western narrative that it was an unacceptable and traumatic thing.

You should read your signature more often.

@MsNobody Quite a fun story. Sex with children may seem like an aberration, but it was actually the norm for most of our history. It is a western innovation that sex with children is evil.

And lots more “aff links” I presume?

Sadhguru isn’t going to sit for 2 hours to talk about the Bible.

@Leo Gura Theo Von: “The war zone is more inside of me; it’s not on the outside.” That sounds like typical spirituality to me.

@Chadders I wouldn’t be so sure about Eckhart Tolle. He seemed to be on the same page as Russel Brand in an interview; Russel Brand endorsed Trump.

I’ve seen many people who were teaching Tier 2 material before they revealed they were supporting Trump. Arguably the most famous example is Don Beck, co-founder of Spiral Dynamics itself! Anyway, just today I came across another one. I’ve known Theo Von mostly for being a die hard Trump supporter. You would think this is your typical stage Blue Christian. Yet I was surprised to find him interviewing one of the most enlightened people of today, a name that no doubt you all know very well: Sadhguru. If Theo Von is hosting sadhguru, he must have at least some familiarity with spirituality and consciousness. Why would such people be Trump supporters?

Please enlighten us.

@MsNobody I have the opposite problem. I’ve taught men my whole life, I could never teach a woman. One criticism and she will start crying.

We’ve been asking that question for the last five years.

@Emerald You’ve been here for quite a number of years, why haven’t you been a mod yet?
