@DieFree You focused on the wrong things. He also mentioned stealing and general emotional immaturity.

@Osaid

@eos_nyxia Brilliant analogy. You lose subtlety with excessive exclamation.

It makes little sense to compare non-dual schools to self-help schools. It mixes up relative and absolute statements. For example, you can say full surrender is how you take full control of your reality. Either statement is beside the point. They're pointing to direct experience.

The tendency is the deeper you get into the drug world, the more Red you'll find. Many of the people I've met through that world were Red, and I live in a Green country.

You're just an uncultured swine ?

Eh, I think he wrote a measured response.

The cult I was in was not a joke. It could've ended very badly (and in a way it did), and it all happened inside a Discord. You can ask other people on the forum who was also in it.

I wish that was just a joke.

@Ethan1 You can add me if you manage to find my picture somewhere on the forum >:)

One day I'll be there.

I'm speaking to you @thisintegrated >:)

None, never :>

Do you still have problems sleeping or are you back to normal?

@thisintegrated or somewhere between half a dozen and a dozen.

@thisintegrated I have a dozen nuts.

When I think of a cult I think Heaven's Gate.

No, but it wouldn't take much to flip it around.

The moment I realized I was in a cult was when people started to unite around fear, paranoia and suspicion.

Sure, but there are other reasons. It makes the conversations more casual and more likely to devolve into a cult. While anonymity has its bad sides, it also has good sides, like removing a lot of potentially harmful social dynamics.

Phuack this is my 9000th post.

Maybe if you hire some transcriptionists.

It's harder to moderate and no.

Speaking of mental clarity, I knocked my lamp over by backing into it with my ass, and it hit my keyboard and broke a key. Then I had to surgically transplant one of those plastic brackets underneath from another key that I don't use ;_;
