@Paul92 I feel you Paul. Real or illusion those are just words. But the experience of love for your family, your girlfriend Rebecca, music and helping others is so much deeper than words like ego, reality and so on. Go with your experience and don't buy into concepts. Love you man.

@flowboy @Charlotte I can confirm stage chocolate bar. Like flowboy said the obsessiv phase is over after a week or so. I quickly swapped chocolate with carottes and other root vegetables (because they take a shit ton of time to eat). Luckily I didn't end up orange like Trump Chewing gum can also help short term.

@Charlotte I've quit smoking 6 months ago after I read a thread on this forum stating that quitting is easy. I thought quitting after 9 years of smoking cigarettes is hard but it really wasn't. I just quit cold turkey. After quitting I felt the urge to eat constantly too but after 3 months I was back to my former healthy eating habits. You got this

Does the conscious state include the ego/mind? I think so. Must the ego be transcended? I think so too, but sounds like effort (doing). Maybe the mind refuses to transcend and therefore we suffer sometimes. But this implies a duality between mind and being. Concepts: Go directly to jail

"In the depth of winter, I finally learned that within me there lay an invincible summer" - Albert Camus Reading this I realized that life isn't lived outside in but inside out.

Good questions. I have another one: what is responsibility?

Reduction of the ego = increase of responsibility = quality and depth of empathy

Worries piled high, you're on the edge, you can't let go, you feel the stress, you're so obsessed with all the debts you think you're owed We create that victim inside, no different than suicide and I'll be there no matter what you do, no matter what you choose Cause we can make it through, yes, I know the ordeal, I know how you feel but I believe, yes, I believe in you Just do what you can do What more can you ask, it's not just a task, no matter what happens to you, we can make it through We can make it through Low self esteem, forgot how to dream but you're so tall If you could only see in you what I see there would be no fear at all Cause problems that we start to find have originated in our mind and we have the power and strength to just let go, don't you think I know? Cause we can make it through, yes, I know the ordeal, I know how you feel but I believe, yes, I believe in you Just do what you can do What more can you ask, it's not just a task, no matter what happens to you, we can make it through We can make it through We can make it It's all good, yeah, sits all fine If we can pacify our minds Don't want you to feel left behind Cause I'm right by your side I'm right by your side So no matter what you do

I wouldn't have commented like this if I haven't read it. It's so far off from reality on this subject. Just populist crap. I won't debate with you.

Pseudo-scientific, short-term thinking reactionistic bullshit. Leave your bubble man.

Yeah, I got it.

Man, I feel sorry for you but almost everybody struggles. Problems are there to be replaced by better problems. You have to find a drive inside you that pushes you through your misery - courage, vision. As Camus puts it "In the midst of winter, I found there was, within me, an invincible summer. And that makes me happy. For it says that no matter how hard the world pushes against me, within me, there’s something stronger – something better, pushing right back."

Duuuhh

Proof has no universal inherent value. Especially in case of right-brained domains like relationships it's fucking useless. Attractiveness is subjective. There are factors that make a man more attractive like authenticity, self-love, charm and confidence. But incels & co. can't count or conceptualize them, so they look for something countable like money or the form of your face (so fucking ridiculous) or create concepts like alpha, beta, red pill etc.

Clarification: I feel sorry for him because he trapped himself in inceldom (victim-hood).

I feel sorry for you but no woman in the world owes you anything. “When the soul suffers too much, it develops a taste for misfortune.”

It's one switch but isn't it duality?

What you say is an important lesson: you can't separate ego, the "illusion" and being because it would create another dualism. Reading your post I feel that you are deluding yourself. You may have become conscious of something to a certain degree - or not, I really can't say. Maybe to the relativity of your old "reality". But you're still talking in absolutes saying becoming a sage is useless, fucking girls "will help improve the person a little bit" and you want to transform yourself. If you claim that you've become conscious of God, please don't use infinite consciousness to justify your relative reality. You're mudding the water for people who conceptualize enlightenment and finally you're exploiting the Absolute for your relative reality.

Masturbation isn't taught to kids. Using contraceptives is. Sexual repression like you advocate would be a huge step back in human history. Stop blaming others and take responsibility for yourself. If jerking of harms you stop it. You're assumptions aren't universal. Goddammit.

You might contemplate on what you said here. Aren't you just propagating your political views right now, saying they are right? You also imply that logical arguments are more useful in this so-called crisis. I thought your LP is about mediating. Not about patronizing different view points. Drop your victimhood.

@Nichts I appreciate you for differentiating and zooming out on your points. Furthermore, your opinion is much clearer to me right now. I agree that the main work has to be done in the home countries and in neighboring countries - which is consensus in German politics too. In my opinion this current state in Germany has to be tackled with much more optimism and compassion. It's incredible how fast some people can become more conscious and evolved if the citizens and the state support them. I also see the problems you mentioned and I won't sweep them under the rug. But in my opinion these problems will be resolved in the long run if we do proper integration work, don't fall for the collective ego backlash and try to understand each other. Therefore your LP is so valuable.

Hi. I'm from Germany too. First of all I think your life purpose is a noble one. Mediating in this culture-war is an important attempt to raise overall consciousness. The problem is that you're too attached to the political debate, victimization and figures. There is absolutely no way to move up the spiral by excluding refugees which is the disownment of higher western values like equality, freedom and care. We have to move up the spiral collectively. Even when most of them are stage red/blue/orange. This situation won't be solved by repressive politics. You might start contemplating why green people are against closed borders, walls and collective demonization of any kind of cultures, religions and people. Because they didn't integrate stage blue or orange? Way too easy man. I think you have to conquer your fear of Muslims in order to follow your life purpose (and move up the spiral). You'll also have to drop your victim mentality. The set of skills you mentioned are a good basis. The reduction of your ego will be your driving force. Wish you all the best

@Truth Addict There are no sheep. Consciousness permeates everybody. But I understand what you mean. Relationships are a great possibility to grow. A possibility to challenge each others ego's. Go for it.
