This is a core belief we learn in childhood that is continuously reinforced in our experience. Only when we are able to change this belief will we see moderators as our equals and no longer see authority to be abusive people with authority or power are going to abuse their power is this true? Yes. Can you absolutely know it’s true? No. How do you react, what happens when you believe that thought? I feel bad, like we have a corrupt system when there’s authority figures or moderators who would you be without that thought? I guess I would simply be me, just content, unbothered by power of authority Now turn it around (is the opposite as true the original?) people of authority or power are going to abuse their power People of authority aren’t going to abuse their power

Many forum members have the core belief people in authority will abuse authority. Judgment/ statement- that thread on blah blah shouldn’t have been closed or shut down. What does this mean to me? - this means I cannot trust this forum to have the best intentions for the people who come here for help on the spiritual path like myself. Assuming this is true Why is this bad? - this is bad because it defeats the purpose of the forum what does this mean to me? I think the forum should be without any moderators because they don’t always look out for what’s best for members assuming this true why is it bad? It’s bad because I believe people with authority or power are going to abuse their power. Core Belief

@Anton_Pierre sounds fun ?

Eventually we may choose a stage where we are simply no longer concerned with our thoughts and rather, choose to focus or be aware of our energy body or vibrational frequency

This is a weird answer. Luck is karma and karma is action. Heres what you sparked though, What we really need to be happy is to learn how to love ourselves, that’s it but it can be one hell of a process, depending on the circumstances

We are talking about whether you are being 100% honest about what you desire, not sexual preferences. I agree with you but if you want to see a deeper perspective on whether gay is a choice you can check this out

Theres an underlying cause to all dysfunctions Learning how to set boundaries is huge, and often we desire to escape because we don't have the boundaries and freedom we wish to have in the place we live

it means to stop using genes as an excuse to be a certain way....you are neglecting the environmental factor that plays a part in gene expression and repression. You're playing the victim by choosing to see things a specific way, and holding certain beliefs about yourself because of societal and cultural norms

acceptance of my life situation

@CreamCat I feel we have much in common. I’m 29 and single, haven’t dated for a few years but also avoided woman/girls until I was in my early 20s in college. Then I didn’t lose my virginity until later. Anyways, it’s smart to drop the idea of interacting with the mission of having sex, because sex should be the result of a good strong connection with someone you have such a deep bond with, you don’t fear expressing yourself intimately, authentically. They should bring this out of you and vis-versa. Now deep connections can be had with anyone you choose, whether they are attractive or not, because connection and understanding ourselves is what we all really desire anyways

For one, all I have is an idea of who you are Shaun. I can only know you in relation to my experience of you. Also It is only in my belief I am me that you appear as a separate individual person. Leo is giving you different ways in which you can view life...consciousness, experiences etc

@Anna1? Ittle be all right. Quit your job? Keep up the empowerment ?

@Anna1 Give yourself some inner space, you can never be not right. Your value is infinite once you can see it in everything else

This stuff is so fascinating... Positivity, it's a real thing...who knew

Going to be upping the number of posts by holistic psychology per day @RillesTriggers are teachers . when most of us start shaming ourselves for feeling reactionary in certain situations...

Cool! Hmm so what’s left....”to be” or “to accept” or “to love” ?

Teasing Anna, for judging Leo and the time on forum @Preetomgood one I am not familiar with Vedanta but Brahman sounds chill to hang out with ? be careful this thread might make a martyr out of you in Leo’s eyes ???

Wow thanks for sharing this may explain why my first and only trip become something very similar to yours, because I smoked weed too, most fear I’ve ever faced and went so far down the rabbit hole

You’re perfect ?

Looks like nahm pointing out the map never territory so not worth clinging to... @Anna1 you are a map, a very hypocritical one at that And that’s why i love you...please don’t judge me for making edits

@noip i would reflect on my expectations and attitude, honestly. Life is not fair. If you feel those are in check then keep asking for what you want and don’t stay if people continue ignoring you

@Nahm and you made them question their own faith? hahaha

@Anton_Pierre good. Lol @Nahmbut what did they want?
