You can't get what you want through corruption unless you are one of the very few people doing the corrupting. What you are describing is selling your soul to the devil for breadcrumbs. Trump will NOT create a good economy. This is pure nonsense. Trump went bankrupt 7 times. He has no idea how to build real wealth. He's a scammer. You cannot use scamming and bullshit to fix America's economy. You will get exactly the opposite. Trump will crash the economy with his bullshit and corruption. This is like thinking you can elect Andrew Tate to fix the US economy just because he knows how to scam sex workers and incels. That kind of capitalism IS what creates a bad economy which only serves the oligarch class. If you vote for Trump you are voting for oligarchy.

Real estate has skyrocketed in the US as well, but it's not because illegals are buying up all the houses, it's due to covid inflation, printing money, and excessive capitalism. You have to be very careful about jumping to conclusions and attributing self-biased causes to such issues. Causation in an economy is a very complex thing. It's never as simple as: more immigrants = higher prices. Don't forget that immigrants contribute to your economy. If anything Canada's population is too low and ya'll aren't fucking enough.

@Scholar How do you know that other souls are more than just your belief? What is the point of believing in stuff you can never be conscious of? I have been conscious of many weird things. I have never been conscious of a soul, not mine, not anyone else's.

That should be on the judicial system. Why did they let him out so early? But if he served his time then he should get a second chance. It does no good to kick a man after he served his time.

What nonsense are you saying? Canada's population: 2014: 35.4 million 2024: 39.7 million Why are you so eager to blame housing prices on immigrants? Where is the data?

@Salvijus Have you ever seen a soul or a personality other than your mind?

What is the difference between a "soul" and a second personality?

@martins name Thanks for the suggestions.

This idea that wars happens because the President isn't feared enough, is childish. That's not how wars works. Wars happen for much deeper geopolitical reasons that are decades in the making and don't care who is president. Putin is not going to just give up his ambitions if Trump is in office. Putin wanted Ukrainian land for 20 years now. 1) He didn't laugh, he used it for a photo-opp. 2) This is not relevant to anything. If Hitler was shot and did a photo-opp it doesn't make him any better of a leader and it certainly doesn't mean you should vote for him. Again, that is irrelevant because that's not how economies work. Economies move up and down in cycles. Trump did not create a great economy, it was already doing well during Obama. And it recovered reasonably well under Biden. Blaming Covid economy issues on Biden is also not fair. You have to consider the real causal factors at work in all this, not imaginary ones based on good vibes. When Covid comes along for Trump you give him a pass as "not his fault" but when war comes along for Biden you take the opposite attitude. That is not sound reasoning.

It just sounds like a unique kind of multiple personality situation. It doesn't have to be literally that, but some variation of it. There is endless variety of weird brain states and conditions.

Yes, it is dangerous when you, for example, reject all fear as false or wrong. Some fear is justified. And in the end all the negative emotions must be integrated as God too. Of course that doesn't mean to dwell in them too much. But if you are always trying to be positive that will eventually backfire, as that becomes a kind of bypassing.

It depends entirely on the situation you're stuck in. If you were locked in a cage and tortured each day, you would welcome death. And chronic health problems can feel like that. You can't just will your way out of or around it.

What is the difference in your analysis? I'm not saying it is or isn't. I'm just saying it's not so surprising.

Suffering. When you suffer enough, your lottery win doesn't matter. What good is a lottery ticket to Hell?

@Inliytened1 Don't you understand that if Trump and Vance win they will infect the entire government with corruption and undermine all future democracy? They are not good faith actors. How can you think that a person with the ego development of a 12 year old child can be "strong" or good for America? Trump is exactly the guy America's enemies would want to win, because it is the clearest way to destroy America from within. Think about the fundamentals here, not single issue policy. Trump is incapable of solving any of America's problems. And will serve the rich.

Why would it be fake? Multiple personality disorder is a well-known thing.

Don't forget Space Kangaroos.

Pranayama is not good to do lying down.

@Bandman I'm sorry you're facing such health problems and dispair. I understand suffering from health problems. The point of my statement above was merely to point out the truth of not-knowning. It's important in this work not to fool ourselves with beliefs and fantasies about things we lack experience with. In this case all you have to do is to be honest with yourself: do you actually know what death is? The answer is probably no. So then the best attitude is one of not-knowing and openness. But there is still the possibility for Awakening and higher consciousness where you might come to a direct insight into the nature of death. So my advice would be that if you want a better understanding of death, pursue Awakening. And if you are suicidal, seek out help and support from others. Don't leave the forum. Isolating yourself is not good for your condition.

@Forestluv You are a good teacher.

I agree that can be a problem. It's important not to turn gender issues into a dogma but genuinely seek out what is right for the individual child. It can't be a simplistic formula.

Trump is self-imploding because his ego is out of control. And that is fundamentally why he should never be allowed in office, because he is incapable of controlling his own stupid narcissitic impulses. He has the ego development of a 12 year old child.

Waiting? It's already over and it was shit.

Because I've understood things no meditation can show.
