Death is not an experience, because death is the dis-identification with a particular form, i.e. with thought. That's why ego-death is death and not at all "flimsy". It's literally death, not some sort of second-order kind of death, it is the death. There is absolutely no need for suicide, or for harming the body in any way whatsoever; this would presuppose that you are the body, which is false. Do NOT harm the body. To truly die means to understand that you were never alive.

@Someone here practically, the suicide rate is very low something like 0.01%. It can't be used as a good argument for happiness and truth being anything to do with living. But you are right, happiness is not one-dimensional and neither is truth, they have many sources and qualities. How can you judge if one type of happiness is equal or better than one type of truth and that those things are essential for living?

@LastThursday think about a person who commits suicide. He doesn't know what's true anymore and completely lost in confusion and he is not happy either obviously. If you are still alive right now then it means you either have some source of happiness in your life(no matter how trivial it might be ) or you know some satisfying truths.

"Like you said, everything has its shadow side, and the shadow in you is what makes you hate it. If you enjoy hating the system, I don't want to stop you from doing that. It can be fun. If you feel like it's costing you a lot of energy, and you'd rather have peace of mind, you can integrate the shadow. Which is the process of finding and recognizing everything you hate "out there", somewhere in yourself, and then loving that" One of the members posted this and I thought it was pretty good and wanted to think about it some more. What is stuff that I have hated "out there"? People's confidence, brains, looks, arrogance, aggression, insults. Do I have that too? Sometimes I have confidence, sometimes brain, sometimes looks, sometimes arrogant, sometimes aggressive, sometimes insulting. I can be all of these things too. Sometimes it is the context of how we compare this to that where that looks bad to us but yet we don't have the mirror to maybe see that we do it too. Maybe we have not yet fully processed it. I can feel intimidated by those that have more looks, money, skills, info, etc. It feels like, oh they will dominate over me, I cannot compete. But we will never be the best at anything. There will tend to be stuff that is worse than us and stuff that is better than us. All of the things that I mentioned are temporary. Looks, money, skills, etc. - they all come and go. Seeing the futility in stuff coming and going can be helpful. .... The second group meeting that I attended seemed a bit somber. People shared stories of rape, child loss, fentanyl overdose epidemics, sexual abuse, etc. I look at my life and go wow. I have not had that. One woman said that fentanyl overdose is the leading cause of death on the west coast for people ages 18-49. She said she used to focus on suicide prevention but fentanyl overdose has exceeded that - people are taking it and don't realize that they are overdosing. I was thinking that the more we interact with, the more we read, the more variety of people we talk to, the more we may step into the world of sad, traumatic things. Spirituality has really helped me to try to be very complex with how I see things. ... I think I was not liking the woman's smile in the meeting. I don't know why. Not many others were smiling. Again I smile too. Sometimes I smile when it is totally unnecessary or inappropriate but that is what I am doing. It is really weird how we decide, oh I do not like this or that. Again, the feeling of feeling lower than others where when one is smiling, they seem strong. We are all going to die though. ... "When you write, you light a bonfire in the spirit world. It is dark there. Lost souls wander alone. Your inner flame flares up. And the lost souls gather near your light and heat. And they see the next artist at work and go there. And they follow the fires until they find their ways home." - Luis Alberto Urrea ... The feeling of insecurity, of not being good enough, of comparing ourselves to others - maybe the stuff we see in others we like about them? We say wow that is their superpower and we admire it? ABSOLUTE SECURITY IS FUTILE. We are not in control of everything and so insecurity will kinda ALWAYS happen. We see someone better and feel insecure and think DEATH. But yet we won't necessarily die. We say, we are weaker than them - look they are stronger and they can outlast me see - look they are better because of XYZ. Well, I am better because of ABC too so it is not apples and apples. .. Regarding fixing things so that we don't make the same mistake next time, umm.. (or switching it out rather than suppressing it) -Choosing to listen rather than suppressing listening. Choosing to see potential rather than suppressing negative thoughts. When something seems useless, we may quit listening and it could be during those times that it would have been useful but yet we quit. chit chat can be helpful for some but a waste of time for the entire group https://cogbtherapy.com/introduction-to-cbt

@Leo Gura i understand what you are saying. But the thing is we are the cost for God experiencing this all encompassing love. Just be real with me would you Leo be a crippled human that lives as a slave in poverty and only experienced war and torture to only get butchered by a tyrant at the end if his life time and still call it Love? If it were so then anything that is happening has to be love even people commiting suicide from this forum. You can correct me if im missing any building blocks here.

I have a more nuance approach personally. I do not think war, genocide, torture, or suicide is God's love. It exists because of God's love. but evil is born from the imagination forgetting or even intentionally denying itself. And in one sense suffering, kills your ego and helps you remember.

One of the things I am thinking about is - when we do stuff, do we do it to get away from other stuff or do we do it because we are choosing to do it, or both? Like okay every pick will be at the opportunity cost of everything else. There could at every moment be a number one thing that we want to be doing in that exact moment but that may not necessarily be what we are doing. One of the things I started thinking about when it comes to negative thoughts is that it is not that they are not necessarily bad. Negative thoughts can identify problems, walls, confusion, questions, etc. and we can use that to create curiosity, growth, change, identify potential, etc. They can also be used for anxiety, depression, hopelessness, suicide, etc. too. Thoughts that disapprove of things will happen all the time and how we choose to use those thoughts can make a mile of a difference. We can find good and bad things in everything and people will have varying degrees of how good they are at this and it will also be based on how much they notice, are aware of, etc.

Death, and hope that you reincarnate as an earthworm or a plant, something with sufficiently low intellectual capacity that you don't have to worry about these things. Specifically, I think some schools of thought believe that committing suicide will make you reincarnate as a lower lifeform instead of progressing upward or staying as a human. Most of the things you seem to have a problem with are exclusively human in nature. Some animals still have to worry about social order, and you'll still have an interest in survival / self-preservation. But money, beauty, fame, drama, etc don't exist in nature. There's an estimated 10 quintillion insects on Earth vs 8 billion people, the odds are in your favor.

I think we go back and forth from being strong and confident and able to be alone to feeling weak and lonely and unable to be alone. I think we go back and forth from taking the blame to blaming others. I think we go back and forth from being on track to being off track. I think we go back and forth from feeling good about stuff to feeling bad about stuff. The highs are great but we have to watch out for being cocky, mean, selfish. The low are hard and we have to watch out for breaking things, hurting others, suicide, anxiety, depression, giving up, ruining certain things, etc. Finding some sort of middle ground or having a method to use for when the pendulum swings too far in one direction can be helpful... such as - when I get low, I seek out people, the therapist, support groups, healthy food, walks, meditation, calm music, motivation, things to push me harder, etc. When I get too high, I seek out humility, gratitude, helping others, etc. I feel like, well both of those could be used at any time and at either end of the spectrum.

Zelensky did not invade Russia, it's Putin who's hurting the global economy. He invaded another country because "Nazis". Even if Ukraine surrendered tomorrow, the sanctions will still go through. So your whole argument is "Stop the fighting now, so to fight in the future using guerilla warfare tactics." You realize that a country that is constantly in a conflict has more to lose right? Did Vietnam develop economically while fighting the French and Americans in guerilla warfare? Did Yugoslavia under Nazi rule? Did China in the civil war? The list goes on and on. People will still die if they resort to guerilla warfare, and don't expect Russia to pour money into Ukraine for reconstruction and development and don't expect the West to pour money in a Russian puppet state. People in an economically deprived country that is under a constant sense of threat since there is guerilla warfare going on will not flourish. It's not just human lives we're talking about, it's quality of life, which matters a whole lot more than you might think it does. Quality of life determines whether you stay stuck in development, have mental or physical illnesses or commit suicide or not. It's either fight for a better life, flee in the West, or live in shit from the Ukrainian POV if you'd like. You can't expect them all to flee or live in shit. What you are arguing for it's not wisdom as you fancy, it's betraying his people.

Yes. I'm only gonna name books which I've read from start to finish myself. 1.) You are the placebo - Dr. Joe Dispenza I love this book. It's one of the most interesting and empowering books I've ever read. It's a book that ties together the sciences of epigenetics, psychoneuroimmunology and things like trauma, consciousness and even god (the unified field, the "void" etc.). It also explains how you can use your mind to intentionally create the placebo effect. I concretely remember two recovery stories (vaguely). In one there was a person with multiple sclerosis that fully reversed the illness and recovered. Another person had a illness where the bones become very soft and fragile and she had to sit in a wheelchair (if I remember this correctly), also recovered. 2.) Becoming supernatural - Dr. Joe Dispenza Is the continuation of "you are the placebo". And here things get crazier. This one goes much deeper into consciousness, mysticism, transcendental experiences etc. The stories in this book blow your mind. In the first chapter a woman gets PTSD after her husband committed suicide. Then she gets so severely ill with like a dozen of diseases (and I think the immune system did attack her body in some ways), and she recovers from all of it. But you can also read about people having mystical experiences with some spirits showing up who pull a tumor out of someone's brain, like really crazy stuff, open-mindedness required. 3.) Mind to matter - Dawson Church Is friends with the prior author. A lot of stories included, not all about health, some are about synchronicities etc. This one includes the story about a man reversing his AIDS back to HIV after a transcendental experience. Other books are "the genie in your genes" (D. Church) and the biology of belief (Dr. Bruce Lipton more science heavy, haven't finished it yet). So these three guys - Dr. Joe Dispenza, Dawson Church, Bruce Lipton all know each other and have tons of videos on YouTube. On the website from Dr. Joe Dispenza you can find countless testimonials from people who recovered from anything you could think of - terminal brain cancer, MS, Morbus Chron and illnesses I can't even spell. One thing to note though: These guys talk almost only about the mind, trauma, emotions, spirituality, consciousness and how it's all related to health, and neclect the side of nutrition and supplements a little bit (or they just don't focus on it), which of course is also very important. Oh and a really good introduction is the movie "Heal" by Kelly Noonan. Here all these guys from above talk, but also many more and you can attain a good big picture understanding of what is required to heal in general. And if you want to research for one specific illness you will eventually find something if you combine terms like e.g. "multiple sclerosis" "recovery story" or "recovered from [xyz]", like just out of curiosity I once googled whether there's anyone who recovered from MS who has a recovery story somewhere and I did find a few. Pillars of recovery: Doing everything that is known to be healthy ALL at once - good nutrition + specific supplements - enough sleep and improving sleep quality - accepting current energy limits, not doing more than the body can at the moment - avoiding toxins and detoxification - support for immune system (by doing all the other things) - emotional support from others - overcoming emotional trauma (huge...) - meditation and/or breathing techniques - relaxation (the last three are required to establish balance in the autonomic nervous system, between the parasympathetic and the sympathetic nervous system, which is the prerequisite for pretty much any recovery from any (severe) chronic illness). - spirituality can be a part of overcoming trauma and improving emotional well-being. As you can see, everything is linked and a holistic approach is usually required.

Is February the hardest month of the year? Or late December through early March? It would also depend on where you live in the world but if you live in the northern hemisphere, where it is dark for many hours of the day and it is very, very cold where it feels harsh to go outside, is that the hardest time to live? Is the summer sun and heat easier? Do we feel more anxiety, depression, sadness, have more suicide during the winter months? Huh, well this first pop-up contradicts that hypothesis: "Their findings demonstrate that both male and female suicide rates tend to be higher during the spring and summer months (combined gender inference of: April ~ 27.24; May ~ 30.04; June ~ 28.86; July ~ 27.83) compared to winter (Nov. ~ 25.77; Dec." I feel bad for my interpretations of events and how it has hurt others. I was hurting myself too. I just don't like hurting others. Part of me says, I would rather be hurt than for others to be hurt. But - I don't like being hurt either - it is really hard. I can't make someone be or react a certain way. I just feel like I have hurt people around me and I don't like it. I keep on trying to reinterpret events to try to make it seem in a lighter, more loving way but sometimes that is not good enough and I have hurt the person because I was feeling hurt and when I try to reinterpret it to not feel hurt, they are still hurt. I can see the issue where I am actively trying to reinterpret the issue so as to not feel hurt and try to make amends but the other person does not do the same - and all I can do is wait for them to reinterpret it too.

First I'm sorry for casting unncessary negativity on this forum but I really hope someone here could tell me what I should do. I sincerely hope someone would care. In my previous post (true story) noone cares (I thought so before having it posted though) and I did wrong. I have driven my pitiable cousin to suicidal thoughts. In my previous post, I shared the story of my cousin who has fully recovered from serious mental illness ( And it was confirmed by everyone I know, even doctor). After that, he realized he's got a talent for being a good actor and that's what he's always loved to do without knowing due to that God-dammed mental insanity - his mother has realized his talent since his childhood too but cannot help because he AREALDY self-harmed himself (leaving untreatable scars on his left hand) he got zero chance to do what he loves. Mixed luck I would say, I have an acquaintance whose job is a experienced female actress. Seeing how unhappy my cousin was, I told him to muster all courage to meet the actress because I already helped set up a meet and told her about his scars. She's quite impressed with my cousin's gift after having him tested. Reluctantly though, she took him to the director so he could give it a short (acting under carmera with other actors). and after the Day 1 the director was pretty impressed asking why the female actress did not introduce my cousin earlier. However, yesterday when the character my cousin acts has to wear a T-shirt and the director (and the producer (boss/investor too) saw the scars on my cousin's hand the director immediately refused to let my cousin continue. The producer ordered the guard to throw us out right after. My friend (the female actress) tells me she got scolded severely. She's not angry with me though because she recognizes my cousin's acting talent. However, my cousin got existentially depressed for it. I'm not exaggerating the problem. He's not crying though but gets into total silence. I could see the helpless depression in his eys. He's not talking with anyone, just a short answer to every question. I said sorry to him and he gave the answer: "It was not your fault, prior to this event I already thought if I cannot do what I truly love to do, why not leave this world for good. because I really cannot find fun in activities like foods sex drinks, the things others find fun in". I truly regretted for what I have done. However, is it really that BAD? Is Not being able to work at the job you love according to your talent really that depressing? Honestly I have never felt it that way before until now. Maybe it was because I was always poor and had to work at whatever jobs to make and money. Every time I got a little more than needed I spent it on party with friends, travel and sex. I truly love my cousin. I never thought I'd drive my cousin to this dangerous situation. If he commits suicide, my entire life would never be peaceful Please, Can someone on this forum tell me what to do. Should I leave him on his own or intervene and in what way should I intervene?

Maybe we SHOULDN'T wake up to GOD? We are here for a reason. The reason is, to have human experience, right? If i'm GOD, it doesn't matter if i know that or not. It doesn't change the fact who i am. I have 100% chance that i'll die, and i'll find out the truth eventually. God puts so much effort to hide itself. God puts so much effort to forget. When i read other people stories about their awaking, it's really,really maddening. It's so fucking scary. Some describe is as the biggest horror of their lives, as being shocked to the core, as pure death. During my experience, I was seriously contemplating suicide, and i'm really mentally stable person. It was just too much. All this makes me think. Are we really supposed to find out the truth? Maybe it's against GOD's will? Maybe we are supposed to just live our human experience, and that's why we are here? Maybe the truth isn't for the finite human mind to handle?

This is 100% true. Please, seriously consider changes in this forum narration. I've been in hell because of solipsism. It's not that I blame anyone here, in fact, it's otherwise. I'm so grateful for all beautiful souls here, who helped me, when i was at the edge of suicide. Now i can see clearly how my ego-mind corrupted this idea, and it turned out great, but i sympathize with all the people who might go through this. And they are many, when you look on the main forum board...

Sounds like you have a pretty low level understanding of spiritual practices. not to be offensive but there is work to be done. Tripping is work, journaling and contemplating is work, doing yoga or Qigong is work, reading is work. If people were just magically okay or awake we would not have a suicide and depression epidemic in the world, or wars, or religions or any of this stuff. Which we do. there’s a lot of pain and confusion, dogma, in the world. seems like bypassing actually reality to me when people say there is no work. sort of relative and depends on your goals. Maybe I’m having this conversation with with because you aren’t putting in the work? Maybe, for you there is no work. But, I think you are either lazy or deluded. Not saying you ARE, just you come off that way to me.

Mandy, I know people who have ended up in mental institutions. There are dangers in spiritual work. People can lose their footings on reality, go insane, commit suicide because of the nihilism… they can discover uncomfortable truths about themselves or reality that lead them to extreme depression and confusion. Stop being so arrogant spiral dynamics is not a game of who is better than who…. The guy who made it is stage blue because those are HIS VALUES. Values are relative and the spiral stages are just a tool of categorizing peoples values based on an oberrsved trend of how people change over time. There are different human survival situations, different levels of education and access to information, different pursuits and interests. Each level of the stage is important for survival. A humans value is inherent to them being human. Not based on a scale. Scale is a tool to understand. Should be used and transcended.

Technically you could, but, as I understand it, God sort of put itself inside a humongous Matryoshka doll set in order to limit itself. In a way, if you could blast through all of them you could pretty much do anything. Basically, God put itself in a hole and threw away the hole. He knows how powerful he really is, and the unleashing of that would just destroy the dream, so he hides his own self from itself so you can't do all that your "ego" wants to. Honestly, I don't buy this crap right here. There's no way God actually *wants* to experience intense suffering and suicide. Seek meaning, significance, to survive in an alien world in whatever way possible. I think shit just goes down and maybe we just have to work with what we've got. Also, as I understand it, this existence is highly based on faith and belief. Think about it, you don't actually believe you could create another Universe right now, and so you won't. You TRY to believe, you WANT to believe, but ultimately you don't, and so you won't be creating anything out of nothing any time soon.

Illuminating article by Pepe Escobar, a Brazilian geopolitical analyst, prognosis on the possible economic and financial repercussions of this war perhaps in the long term mostly for Europe and Europeans, what were some of Russa's possible economic and financial goals in the backdrop that it hoped to achieve with it and in possible global re-alignments of the global markets and global economy going forward: https://thecradle.co/Article/columns/7672 Russia's judo kick to the western financial gut Washington's sanctions on Moscow will destroy Europe, not Russia. Washington's 'replacement strategy' for sanctioned Russian oil and gas imports appears to be too cozy up to its oil-producing arch-enemies Iran and Venezuela. ''The battlefield is drawn. The official Russian blacklist of hostile sanctioning nations includes the US, the EU, Canada, and, in Asia, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, and Singapore (the only one from Southeast Asia). Notice how that ‘international community’ keeps shrinking. The Global South should be aware that no nations from West Asia, Latin America, and Africa have joined Washington’s sanctions bandwagon. Moscow has not even announced its own package of counter-sanctions. Yet an official decree “On Temporary Order of Obligations to Certain Foreign Creditors,” which allows Russian companies to settle their debts in rubles, provides a hint of what’s to come. Russian counter-measures all revolve around this new presidential decree, signed last Saturday, which economist Yevgeny Yushchuk defines as a “nuclear retaliatory landmine.” . It works like this: to pay for loans obtained from a sanctioning country exceeding 10 million rubles a month, a Russian company does not have to make a transfer. They ask for a Russian bank to open a correspondent account in rubles under the creditor’s name. Then the company transfers rubles to this account at the current exchange rate, and it’s all perfectly legal. Payments in foreign currency only go through the Central Bank on a case-by-case basis. They must receive special permission from the Government Commission for the Control of Foreign Investment. What this mean in practice is that the bulk of the $478 billion or so in Russian foreign debt may “disappear” from the balance sheets of western banks. The equivalent in rubles will be deposited somewhere, in Russian banks, but western banks, as things stand, can’t access it. It is debatable whether this straightforward strategy was the product of those non-sovereignist brains gathered at the Russian Central Bank. More likely, there has been input from influential economist Sergei Glazyev, also a top former advisor to Russian President Vladimir Putin on regional integration: here is a revised edition, in English, of his groundbreaking essay Sanctions and Sovereignty, which I have previously summarized. Meanwhile, Sberbank confirmed it will issue Russia’s Mir debit/credit cards co-badged with China’s UnionPay. Alfa-Bank – the largest private bank in Russia – will also issue UnionPay credit and debit cards. Although only introduced five years ago, 40 percent of Russians already have a Mir card for domestic use. Now they will also be able to use it internationally, via UnionPay’s enormous network. And without Visa and Mastercard, commissions on all transactions will remain in the Russia-China sphere. De-dollarization in effect. Mr. Maduro, gimme some oil The Iran sanctions negotiations in Vienna may be reaching the last stage – as acknowledged even by Chinese diplomat Wang Qun. But it was Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov who introduced a new, crucial variable into Vienna’s final discussions. Lavrov made his eleventh-hour demand quite explicit: “We have asked for a written guarantee…that the current [Russian sanctions] process triggered by the United States does not in any way damage our right to free and full trade, economic and investment cooperation and military-technical cooperation with the Islamic Republic.” As per the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) agreement of 2015, Russia receives enriched uranium from Iran and exchanges it for yellowcake, and in parallel, is reconverting Iran’s Fordow nuclear plant into a research center. Without Iranian enriched uranium exports there’s simply no JCPOA deal. It boggles the mind that US Secretary of State Blinken does not seem to understand that. Everyone in Vienna, sidelines included, knows that for all actors to sign on the JCPOA revival, no nation must be individually targeted in terms of trading with Iran. Tehran also knows it. So what’s happening now is an elaborate game of Persian mirrors, coordinated between Russian and Iranian diplomacy. Moscow’s Ambassador to Tehran, Levan Jagaryan, attributed the fierce reaction to Lavrov in some Iranian quarters to a “misunderstanding.” This will all be played out in the shade. An extra element is that according to a Persian Gulf intel source with privileged Iranian access, Tehran may be selling as many as three million barrels of oil a day already, “so if they do sign a deal it will not affect supply at all, only they will be paid more.” The US administration of President Joe Biden is now absolutely desperate: today it banned all imports of oil and gas from Russia, which happens to be the second-largest exporter of oil to the US, behind Canada and ahead of Mexico. The US’ big Russian-energy ‘replacement strategy’ is to beg for oil from Iran and Venezuela. So, the White House sent a delegation to talk to Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, led by Juan Gonzalez, the White House’s top Latin America adviser. The US offer is to “alleviate” sanctions on Caracas in exchange for oil. The United States government has spent years – if not decades – burning all bridges with Venezuela and Iran. The USG destroyed Iraq and Libya, and isolated Venezuela and Iran, in its attempt to take over global oil markets – just to end up miserably trying to buy out both and escape from being crushed by the economic forces it has unleashed. That proves, once again, that imperial ‘policy makers’ are utterly clueless. Caracas will request the elimination of all sanctions on Venezuela and the return of all its confiscated gold. And it seems like none of this was cleared with ‘President’ Juan Guaido, who since 2019, was the only Venezuelan leader “recognized” by Washington. Social cohesion torn apart Oil and gas markets, meanwhile, are in total panic. No western trader wants to buy Russian gas; and that has nothing to do with Russia’s state-owned energy behemoth Gazprom, which continues to duly supply customers that signed contracts with fixed tariffs, from $100 to $300 (others are paying over $3,000 in the spot market). European banks are less and less willing to grant loans for energy trade with Russia because of the sanctions hysteria. A strong hint that the Russia-to-Germany gas pipeline Nord Stream 2 may be literally six feet under is that importer Wintershall-Dea wrote off its share of the financing, de facto assuming that the pipeline will not be launched. Everyone with a brain in Germany knows that two extra Liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminals – still to be constructed – will not be enough for Berlin’s needs. There is simply not enough LNG to supply them. Europe will have to fight with Asia over who can pay more. Asia wins. Europe imports roughly 400 billion cubic meters of gas a year, with Russia responsible for 200 billion of this. There’s no way Europe can find $200 billion anywhere else to replace Russia – be it in Algeria, Qatar or Turkmenistan. Not to mention its lack of necessary LNG terminals. So obviously the top beneficiary of all the mess will be the US – which will be able to impose not only their terminals and control systems, but also profit from loans to the EU, sales of equipment, and full access to the whole EU energy infrastructure. All LNG installations, pipelines and warehouses will be connected to a sole network with a single control room: an American business dream. Europe will be left with reduced gas production for its – dwindling – industry; job losses; decreasing quality of life standards; increased pressure over the social security system; and, last but not least, the necessity to apply for extra American loans. Some nations will go back to coal for heating. The Green Parade will be livid. What about Russia? As a hypothesis, even if all its energy exports were curtailed – and they won’t be, their top clients are in Asia – Russia would not have to use its foreign reserves. The Russophobic all-out attack on Russian exports also targets palladium metals – vital for electronics, from laptops to aircraft systems. Prices are skyrocketing. Russia controls 50% of the global market. Then there are noble gases – neon, helium, argon, xenon – essential for production of microchips. Titanium has risen by a quarter, and both Boeing – by a third – and Airbus – by two thirds – rely on titanium from Russia. Oil, food, fertilizers, strategic metals, neon gas for semiconductors: all burning at the stake, at the feet of Witch Russia. Some Westerners who still treasure Bismarckian realpolitik have started wondering whether shielding energy (in the case of Europe) and selected commodity flows from sanctions may have everything to do with protecting an immense racket: the commodity derivatives system. After all, if that implodes, because of a shortage of commodities, the whole western financial system blows up. Now that’s a real system failure. The key issue for the Global South to digest is that the “west” is not committing suicide. What we have here, essentially, is the United States willfully destroying German industry and the European economy – bizarrely, with their connivance. To destroy the European economy means not allowing extra market space for China, and blocking the inevitable extra trade which will be a direct consequence of closer exchanges between the EU and the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP), the world’s biggest trade deal. The end result will be the US eating European savings for lunch while China expands its middle class to over 500 million people. Russia will do just fine, as Glazyev outlines: sovereign – and self-sufficient. American economist Michael Hudson has concisely sketched the lineaments of imperial self-implosion. Yet way more dramatic, as a strategic disaster, is how the deaf, dumb and blind parade toward deep recession and near-hyperinflation will rip what’s left of the west’s social cohesion apart. Mission Accomplished.''

Didn't meant to revive this post, just saw something and did something. It wasn't intentional, maybe it was I don't know... Maybe ms preety still feel this way? ** Well, I did it and I take the responsibility. Everyone knows he should not suicide, guess what he does it anyways.

i've been there, i had very rough time, you can read my those topics it may help: [1] [2] https://www.actualized.org/forum/topic/78708-trip-report-of-going-to-hell-to-the-point-of-suicide /#comment-1099770 Time really heals it. Also solipsism seen from "ego-mind" is pure hell, you are a dream, just like anything, and just like every other-human-being. What also helps it's seeing it as : yes, everyone is you, and from your dreamt pov they don't have experience, but you are them, and you'll experience it, and even see your currenct body, as a dream character. It's all one. You are not alone, just so together. It will really get better, trust me.

This was the most recent video of Mr. Girl reading internal emails between healthy gamer coaches. I made either a thread or post about the probability of Mr. Girl wanting a discussion with Dr. K, and the likelihood of such a discussion going sort of south in the past, don't know where it is, but I thought it's not gonna likely happen, but clearly the current situation is Mr. Girl is serious in wanting not just to discuss with Dr. K, but to even go as far as canceling him from being an online therapist to gamers, in relation to the suicide of Reckfull! Mr. Girl is , in my opinion and intuition, like the rough equivalent of Jesus Christ getting angry at the jewish priests in the temple. However, I don't know much about the situation with Reckfull suicide, nor have the feeling that Dr. K was obviously malicious. I get the sense Mr Girl wants Dr. K to confess his sins before him. What are your thoughts about this situation? Do you think Mr. Girl is trolling, or is Mr. Girl being serious? From a spiral Dynamics/Integral theory modal, do you think that because of the differences in terms of values, cognition, morality, personality typing/ego psyche, life domains and states of consciousness that Mr. Girl is viewing Dr. K as sort of the bad guy that is more responsible in part for Reckfull's lead up to his suicide? Do you think, from the perspective of ego development and shadow work, that Mr. Girl's reaaction is a projection of the differences in terms of spiritual development between the two? I'll continue over time discussing this because Mr. Girl, while not fully at stage yellow, lacks the systems thinking or conceptualisation of systems, it's values, it's higher order thinking, is having like a stage green emotional triggering towards Dr. K, whose also due to his spiritual development and study of psychology has found a niche of being an online 'therapist' for gamers. It's very interesting to me because Mr. Girl is very authentic, has a slightly different personality typing and morality, and if they ever will have a discussion, I think the discussion will become very heated.

It wasn't Hitler that lifted Germany out of misery, but it was the directives made by the Weimar Republic, which had collapsed prior to his rise to power. He just took advantage of those economical directives that needed time to materialize. The Nazi Golden Era is a historical myth, that exists because of Nazi propaganda. One of the basis of fascism is helping poor people. But fascism also suggests creating artificial enemies in order to justify brutal actions. He "helped" anyone who wasn't Jewish or "undesirable". That's plain wrong. He rose to power through propaganda, physical violence and political backstabbing in a very hostile environment filled with political and economic instability, which wasn't exclusive only to Germany in that era. Yes, he did bring stability by crushing all resistance internally, but can you really call him a good leader for that? You intentionally and conveniently forget the brutality of the military branch of the NSDAP and the fact Hitler himself ordered the murder of members of his party when things did not go his way. The Nazi economy was based on the idea of "Lebensraum" that being economic growth through conquest, and it was structured like a crime syndicate that worked to enrich the elites of the state, not the average German. Hitler would commit suicide again if he found out that Austria and Eastern Prussia are no longer part of Germany. You've got lots of holes in your understanding of Nazi Germany and you're thus spreading a wrong image of it. Putin is not Hitler for many different reasons, but I wouldn't go as far to say that both of them are good leaders when in both cases the average German/Russian ultimately suffered more because of their actions.

Love is greater than the Love for death. In that sense, they are misinterpreting. You came here to die before you die, not to suicide.

Leo explicitly states that death is love. Those who commit suicide to attain infinite love are not "misinterpreting" his videos. @SavourTime
