You want to go cold turkey? Or you still want to be able to use it? I feel like if you’re determined enough to go cold turkey you could do it and not use it at all. But if you still want access to it, it’s a little more challenging because yeah you’re stepping foot into the river and it’s hard not to get wet. So I bought a Brick device, which means I can lock my phone out from certain apps indefinitely, unless I have the tool to unlock it next to me. That really helps. And I also have two more buffers on Instagram. One of them kicks me out after I’ve been on for 15 minutes and the other one makes me take a breath and sets a time limit for me. This addiction is a challenging one, you basically have to be very determined. Also if you have a higher power that helped me a lot.

Haha can you imagine if a white person said that about “black people shit”

Well, you wouldn’t just dump your emotions on an adult would you? Children are humans too I think we forget that.

I believe that this exaggeration of emotions is done to (unconsciously) get more of a response back from the child. Since children are young they are taking everything in very acutely and they often don’t respond how adults think they should. Often times this looks like a blank stare from the child or some other response that to us seems socially unacceptable but really, it’s because the child is processing everything you’ve just said.

Do you think this is something I pulled out of my ass? (said with love)

Saying that everything is love makes sense in the physical world, but what about the spiritual world? There's a war between good and evil going on. A clear distinction. If it were all good there wouldn't be such a hard line between the two.

@theleelajoker You know the question: why dos God allow suffering? Is one of the biggest questions to ask and I’ll be honest, I still wonder about it. One of the things I think is: would it be perfectly loving and just to stop all suffering right now?

There are certainly times when drama stops instantly! But it is certain to come back. I don’t subscribe to a lot of the beliefs that circulate on here.

You talk about “drama” which I perceive as a petty thing, but you also talk about deep suffering which is more serious. They are two very different things although can overlap in ways. Deep suffering is not a thing that can just be erased “like that”. If this were possible humans would have done it. Instead we see thousands of practices that attempt to erase it, but never quite get there. In fact the more one walks lovingly on such a path the more accepting and understanding they become of this fact. Now to the best of my ability I’m going to answer what we are trying to distract ourselves from. From my understanding it’s a deep emptiness and a fear of death. Simply put. Where do you go from here? It’s tough, life keeps happening and you will (hopefully) grow older and have more experiences of a wide variety. I don’t think the ache ever goes away to be honest. Thankfully I found God and he’s my rock. But I still suffer like everyone else.

In the bible, sex IS considered marriage according to God. "Fornication" is NOT sex before marriage. Most churches get that wrong. Paul actually does talk a bit about this in some of his letters. 1 Corinthians 7 is a place to start. He chooses to stay unmarried which he says is a good thing but (and I'm paraphrasing) if you really want to marry, then do it. I'm also pretty sure he says in a separate letter that being married comes with certain challenges but he does not forbid it. Anyway, I'm still learning about the bible so I don't know a lot but that chapter I referenced should give some ideas for you.

Everybody has faith in something.

The fact that good doesn’t use the same as you put it “methods” as evil is precisely why it’s a battle. If good were to become “just as harsh” as evil it wouldn’t be good anymore. Good is so much infinitely more good than evil that’s why evil always looses. But it’s only because good is so, so, so good. Hope that helps!

Spirituality has the word spirit in it making me think inherently spirituality is involving spirits. Wanted to bring that here what do you guys think.

Yeah, low-key, it is very weird that I broke down in tears about this because I do not agree with a lot of the things he said. I think that it’s because he has been in my “circle “for so long watching his stuff years ago.

I remember years and years ago, watching his stuff and being interested that he was having the kinds of conversations he did and the way he did it. Challenging certain thoughts and it really got me thinking so he was a pretty big figure for me. Again, I don’t agree with a lot of the stuff he said or how he said it, especially, but it’s still a big deal to lose him.

I legit broke down in tears and am currently processing. He was a big figure for a long time.

I just saw that he died. I am quite sad. I remember when he would just post up with a little stand and sign. I didn’t agree with a lot of the stuff he said or how he said it, but I appreciated that he would have discussions about things others weren’t.

You are exactly right my friend. Fallen spirits can teach you things and heal things, in exchange for keeping your soul chained to them. This is real stuff, it happened to me and I’ve seen it happen to others. All kinds of things open doors to these evil spirits and psychedelics and new age practices are no exception. You’re right on the money

The fact that you think that speaks to the mass amount of deception going on here

I did not physically see him. His spirit saved me. I didn’t do anything other than pursue him. Meaning I looked into the idea of him being the highest spiritual truth with an open and honest heart. A genuine desire.

Ok wise one.

You can think what you want sister but I’m happy to have found the truth after so long. Bless you on your journey.

@cistanche_enjoyer so you can check out my Instagram for more about me and my walk with Jesus. There’s basically a lot to say. I started pursuing him with an open heart a few months ago as a last ditch effort to solve a spiritual problem that started developing after several ayahuasca ceremonies. I was encountering a lot of darkness. And yeah he literally just saved me. Like one day was normal the next I was crying, so in love with him and everything he did on the cross for me. I turned into a Jesus freak literally overnight. I had a problem of idealizing suicide and bad depression even after years of spiritual work and trying to heal. Things would get better for a bit but then would get much worse and I would become more and more hopeless about life as time went on. All that was eradicated o v e r n i g h t. Like I wish I was making this up because then you guys would probably believe me lol but nope. It was Jesus. And yeah now as I keep drawing closer to him my life continues to come together in all the ways I wanted it too in the 15 years I was on the spiritual path but could never seem to get right no matter how much stuff I did. Laziness, addictions, self worth and confidence issues are all being healed.

@Natasha Tori Maru uh yeah…if I had an awakening that showed me the awakening I had with Jesus was false then I would go with the more true awakening… as any genuine truth seeker should do imo.

@Jowblob wait, what? Yeah humans corrupt things but that isn’t Jesus. I’m not trapped I’m actually freer than I’ve ever been
