I studied Lacan a bit. Masochism comes from your social and energetic behavior in general. Cross-dressing comes from your unconscious idea of your duties as a man to have the right to receive love, it is inherited from your education, your relationship with your mother, your father, to a lesser extent other beings humans in general, your traumas... Note how on this forum, in your way of writing, you put a lot of peaceful smileys, even your avatar is a cat lol. You rely on your lack of conflict as a strategy to get people, as if the more you crush yourself energetically, the more people you will keep/attract. With such a functioning, certain parts of your brain linked to social relationships will push you to put an end to chronic overstimulation (stress) by pushing you, through social behaviors and sexual fantasies, to drop in alertness by finally putting you in a position of energetic regression ("death drive"). Male/dominant sexuality is the opposite, because the male brain is much less stressed, a man in good mental health does not particularly want to regress, and the libido will on the contrary be influenced by excess sexual aggressiveness due to of the constant positive regulation of monoaminergic neurotransmission in areas of the brain linked to sexuality. If you want to be more maculine and sexually dominant, to have normal sexuality, and be happier as a man, you need to capitulate and embrace this death drive in daily life, embrace the fact that you seek the least stress possible and take everything that relates to vigilance as a burden imposed on you (work) or that you impose yourself on yourself out of anxiety, excessive sublimation of your sexual energy. Work (it's always an effort, but if you like your work at least a little bit, or at least it's not too stressful, you'll feel a sense of "flow", that's what you want ), do activities that really make you happy, sing, dance, do martial arts (if you like that) watch MMA/boxing fights, football matches, watch football matches while drinking beer, deliver you belong to a cult/religion, wear watches... I don't know if I'm being clear, maybe this speaks to you? I say all this because the more I am like this, the more sexually dominant I am. ... Valentin the colonist lol. sniff* Oh the rascal...

Watched it. This is a cool one. But newbies in facing negative emotions might be overwhelmed with the spiritual dictionary.

PS: "But isn't it true that absolute truth can be pointed at?" Yes... by filling in the gaps, so to speak. How do you fill in the gaps? By giving expression to the complementary opposite side of the coin of whatever limited & limiting belief the recipient of the pointer is attached to, thereby making them aware of the relative validity of the opposite point of (world)view. Adding the complementary Yin to their prevalent Yang, if you will. Again, not rocket science. -
I think one thing that happens with some people when they think about working out is that they have a negative cognitive frame of it as something difficult and hard. According to Cognitive Activation Theory of stress, this frame ("stimulus expectancy" and "outcome expectancy") is largely what causes the "stress" (the "bad" stress; chronic, sustained stress). Once you're able to mentally cope with the challenges associated with working out, it's not a source of "bad" stress — it's "training", unless you overdo it and it becomes a sustained stress response ("strain"). https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0149763409000232?via%3Dihub And if you want to counter this by saying "but what about the non-cognitive part of the stress? Isn't that inherently tearing on the system?". No. Again, it only becomes a problem when it's prolonged and sustained. Literally anything you do; any action, any thought, any movement; initiates the stress response to some degree. It's an ingrained part of your functioning. The question is just if you overdo it or not, and how trained you are will determine what that point is for you. The reason working out is generally healthy is because for some people, that point is reached in everyday life, even while not working out, simply by trying to do everyday activities, for example work, or just merely moving your body. So working out decreases the likelihood of ever hitting the point where bad stress occurs in your life, and that is why it's generally healthy and why it generally increases longevity.

@UnbornTao I think the OP's intuition is in the right direction, that too much exercises and unmanaged stress causes earlier deaths on way or another. DOMs is an internal stress the body has to deal with, and these body building western programs are just causing unnecessary higher stress on the system. Good balance of western and eastern training, martial arts, chi gong, tai chi, stretching, massaging, and irregular breaks in the cycle gives your body a chance to manage it's stress levels. Less cortisol leads to longer lifespan, not to mention more cortisol leads to DNA degeneration long term, leading to not just shorter life spans but birth defects and imperfections if one wants to become a parent.

@Princess Arabia death is the ultimate existential fear . Anything might happen when you die . Anything. All you can do is becoming religious /spiritual. Meditation to find what is it that dies and what is it that does not die. It seem possible this question is coming from a deeper source to stir your soul to a new search. A search for meaning and truth. It is all contained within you.. look inward -
Well, I just made a point about why some people crossdress. I can't proscribe to others about doing it to be trans.

Underrated comments. That book works for me very well. I felt enormous happiness after practising the technique. Every time I let go, the more I am free emotionally. Now, I experience trauma very little. Highly confident. The technique is simple, yet it is oil for your mind and body. You will be less rigid, and happier. You should try it!

I mean, the alternative doesn't.

@Yousif Yes and no. The no part comes when the person keeps getting burn out and damage onset muscle soreness, and over exercises. Just look at Bruce Lee, he really worked so hard on his body that he died from stroke early on in his life. Some say he died due to Triad hit, but I ain't going down that rabbit hole. I'll still suggest to you to do some martial arts training, maybe chi gong, some western exercises old school like flexing and isometrics way more than the body building programs that cause much more stress than necessary.

@Nivsch and @Vrubel have a bad habit of editing your posts.😁 Stop engaging in straw mans and boogeyman points of what if the Zionists lost in the Nakba, or in the Oslo Accords, or in the Yon Kippur war? At best the Zionists would be ethnically cleansed and expelled from their territories, similarly to what the Zionists and early GB did to the Palestinians. BTW have you red what the Stern Gang, the Irgun did during the Nakba? That some of that gang is now in power? Israel is looking more like a cartel and less like a state. -
In my personal experience weed helps me connect dots very well. I just start to understand things very deeply to the point of mystical experiences. It just sort of helps me to see the little things that I haven't consciously seen/understood. I found that if I smoke weed once every week or once every two weeks it works the best. Buuuuuuut if you smoke it every day it's just stupid. And I'm guilty of that for so many times. The thing I dislike the most about weed is the brain fog that you get after it. If you do it like I mentioned once every week/two weeks then it's manageable, the next day you do some cardio and it sort of goes away. But if you do it on a daily basis you just "kill" yourself, you become so numb. Not interacting with other people in 100%. Actually I can see people who do smoke a lot and just know that they do just by looking at them. And in a way I don't want people like that near me LOL. Actually by smoking weed I fixed a lot of shit in my life. In the early days it sort of helped me open my mind. Some people just need that boost to open their mind, some people don't. I don't advocate that anyone SHOULD smoke weed.

As usual, the domains of relative and absolute truth are being grossly conflated in this thread... by the very people who should know better. Relative truth can be expressed, absolute truth cannot. Relative truth can be studied and (intellectually) understood, absolute truth cannot. Relative truth is relatively complex, absolute truth is absolutely simple. Come on, guys. None of this is rocket science. -

Exactly, existence recognizes itself and all questions have only one answer: existence is. There are no limits and that is what we are, the practices, whether meditation, psychedelics or whatever, must be oriented towards that realization because it is freedom. To realize the unlimited existence that we are, you only have to do one thing: eliminate all barriers. -
That's if you have a wacky definition of health. If you define health as optimal functioning, then health and longevity are virtually synonymous. If you define health as having big muscles and fucking a lot of bitches (reproductive fitness), then sure, that definition of health might not be synonymous with longevity. Sure, if you manage to keep your resting heart rate below 50 or so, if you have no musculoskeletal issues and you cope well with your daily life, and if at the same time you happen to be working out less than somebody else, then sure, working out more might not help you that much in terms of longevity. But I'll assure you that in most cases, getting to those levels requires some amount of working out (or just general physical exercise), whether it would be considered light or extreme exercise, whether it's intentional or accidental; that's all beside the point.

Here's Leo's take: https://www.actualized.org/insights/the-sad-truth-about-mr-beast While it's fine to assess him on only Spiral Dynamics stages(Don Beck), I feel like there's several other factors that's making him unhappy, not just late stage capitalism, factors like cognitive and moral development, personality typing/traits(apparently Mr. Beast is in the autism spectrum so that's a factor), 9 stages of ego development(Jane Loevinger), shadow work and Architypes(Carl Jung), Integral Theory's other lines of development in life and societal domains(by Ken Wilbur), ideological beliefs indoctrinated by meta programming, metanarratives, information ecology leveraged by big companies to manufacture consent in the population, biases and preferences and ego mind that shapes one's worldview. I definitely think there's more going on that's contributing to Mr. Beast's unhappiness and workaholics problem.
