LOL you're leagues better than him... he's dragging you down.

It's not crucial at all. Wear what makes you feel good.

Adeptus is woefully self-deceived. It's immediately obvious to anyone who's done the work.

0:47 "the wind of god" LOL!

I don't understand police mind transcendence.

Yes, but that doesn't mean you spontaneously spread your asscheeks for the next gay guy to hit on you lmao. "For Enlightenment" haha

So do you do stand up comedy?

All nonsense. Get in touch with Direct Experience Here-Now. There is no death.

Oh hey look, it's our forum's favorite grandpa He makes a fairly compelling argument that reading the Western Canon leads to Self-Knowledge. I think a great many academics would agree with his position. I've already come to my own conclusions regarding the worth of the "great books," but @Leo Gura and others, I'd appreciate your thoughts.

I'm 21. Played violin from age 4-17 and was in one of the most elite youth orchestras in America. I quit because it simply was not fun to practice anymore. All of my goals were manufactured by my parents and teachers. Not once did I pick up the violin in order to meet my own desire. I'm so glad I made the right choice. When you pursue a true passion, practice becomes effortless because you recognize that you're using your time in the best possible way.

@Raptorsin7

Wait is that to say "I'm racist" ??? LOL You make perfect sense. I feel similarly, I just don't see any of this as a problem

@integral bro learn when to give up lol

Oh my God.

I've yet to find a fully turquoise level anime, but there definitely are sprinkles of turquoise throughout the medium. I recently watched Parasyte which is probably the closest thing to turquoise I've seen in terms of plot, but the ending was so rushed and some of the philosophical soliloquies felt forced, like someone who just discovered stage yellow paying lip service to turquoise teachings without fully understanding them. Someone's already mentioned Avatar the Last Airbender which occasionally drops turquoise truth bombs in a supplementary way (like one guy says "death is an illusion" as a meme/gag). Overall more yellow than turquoise because it doesn't seriously commit to explicitly centralizing turquoise values. This is what's mostly preventing turquoise from making an appearance in media imo - you can't really tell a dramatic story full of conflict if you explicitly go turquoise. There's no more tug-of-war to hook the audience to the plot the moment a story commits to values like cosmic compassion. To drive a plot-conflict, a story must limit its perspective and compassion. Think about that. I don't know if we can properly call it "anime," but Miyazaki films come to mind when I think of turquoise. Those films are not turquoise in terms of plot as you might expect, but moreso in terms of aesthetic delivery. The landscape shots, the background music, the long stretches of silence or reality-bending visuals speak turquoise without the use of words. There's a sort of widened appreciation of reality at large in these films which I cannot fathom coming from tier 1. Finally, Demon Slayer despite being a shonen must be mentioned here simply because the main character Tanjiro sets himself apart from all other anime protagonists by displaying saint-levels of compassion for the very demons that he swears to destroy. A masterclass in "Love thy enemy."

lol. first time?
