Ananta

I have none either. In the distant past I was a Democrat, then one day (years ago) I realized I could care less about parties or sides, no matter what I hear this doesn't change. It's as though it doesn't exist for me and seems like kids play. I don't worry about elections or any of it. I can't make myself care either, it's very odd.

I did read your post and I think you should know what Leo recently said about red pill on the forum, so I posted it for you. I said nothing about a ban and didn't give you a warning, so calm down.

@Johnny5 @Leo Gura

I think the men doing this just don't get it. One day if they have female children they "might" get it. Would they want their girls being preyed upon, manipulated and lied too, taken advantage of as a sex object and tossed aside, because they were just a number? Of course they wouldn't and they will probably be terrified when their daughter hits puberty.

If this were the case I wouldn't have a problem with it. That's just approaching a women, because there's something you like about them and want to get to know them. That's what's normal!!! Also, I'm not opposed to 2 consenting adults just wanting sex, as long as manipulation and lying wasn't involved in getting it. On another forum I actually use to give practical dating advice to guys. However, what I'm seeing here with many (not all) men, is that they are talking about women in a degrading manner (negatively stereotyping, objectifying) and just wanting to manipulate and use them for sex (ie. "It's a numbers game"). *Leo ranting against the pick up community*

@DrewNows I'm actually pretty passionate about what I said above, as Anna, not a mod, but as a mod I also give warnings for certain infractions too and it gets exhausting trying to control certain offenders. One is on actualized.org "vacation" as we speak. But, thanks.

@Emerald I see you try to do a lot of psychoanalysis on ppl on the forum, even when it's not wanted. Anyways, I'm 49, probably twice your age, so I know my wounds and I've worked through them, thanks, but that doesn't mean I want to see men act in ways that they will continually manipulate, wound and "use" other young woman. Yes, I have an issue with that! Also, I don't appreciate men on a spirituality forum using sexist, stereotypical, objectifying language towards women and what sub-forum do they use this talk? ..."The relationship/dating sub-forum"!!! So, you can think how great it is for ppl to work out their dysfunctional shadows here on this sub-forum, but I see a bunch of men back slapping and carrying on about how it's a "numbers game", about getting in womens pants and other revolting talk. They can go to reddit and have their shadows rise to the surface.

Exactly, I'm burned out and if you can burn out that means it's not healthy or high conscious.

It's mostly a toxic mess and most of the mods don't even come here at all anymore.

Well, until such changes were to take place, I think this sub-section should be closed down, that would be my vote. Another moderator told me he thought it should be closed too and I didn't ask the others. Obviously, it's Leo's call though.

Which is why, imo, this sub-section should be closed! I think it's the hardest sub-section to moderate as well.

Years ago, I ran into a guy I dated for 2 1/2 yrs in high school (I was his first). Anyways, I saw him 7 yrs later and he told me (for some ungodly reason) that while he was in college he had sex with 43 girls. I couldn't be more disgusted ? and couldn't get the cringing look off my face. I even said, "oh, so you're are a walking STD now". Yuck. ?

@Galyna I've know him on/off for a few yrs, from another forum that died. He is capable of writing correctly and not talking a bunch of "word salad" bullshit at ppl trying to impress, but he is choosing not to and he's choosing to write in a shocking, degrading way towards women and being very sexist. I'm not down for that. I don't want to be associated with it at all.

Until you came here and now you are unrecognizable. The guy I knew talked normally, but he has died, apparently. Really, why would I want to be friends with you now? I don't recall that. Not sure why you keep referencing me on the forum. Just stop.

Technically, its Leo's thread, since it's his forum and I'm a mod. If something needs clarified that you are bringing up on the forum, then I'm going to clarify it, because what you said is not what happened.

@Martin123 Nice song

Hehe, ?? yes, so awesome. Only on actualized.org ?

I didn't know about non-duality or anything at the time. It was 2009, so Eckhart Tolle was my first exposure to spirituality after my suicide attempt. No looking back since then and no suicidal tendencies. It was a cross roads for me. Until it was realized there is no "me"

Then, I did this type of work on/off for years. Wasn't until I actually tried it (suicide) and failed that it completely stopped. Real spiritual began after that...

You namecalled, which is against forum guidelines, in two separate threads, hence 2 mods giving you warnings. Please don't portray yourself as a victim. Thank you.

I was on a Tolle forum for many years. Tolle was completely depressed and didn't do spiritual practice prior to his awakening. He sat on the park bench 3 years, etc AFTER his awakening. Unless my memory completely fails me...which could be true.???

Hate to be corny, but it is grace that allows this, imo, but Self-inquiry is what I recommend always and contemplate, "Can the seer be seen?"

Don't forget Eckhart assimulated his awakening on a park bench for three years. Most gurus have an assimilation period, before they start talking about it. This includes, Eckhart, Ramana and Nisargadatta.

Nisargadatta Maharaj Read, "I AM that"
