Westboro Baptist Church is good research into cults. Ex members have talked about it.

See the problem arises when you adopted a belief. You don't need to adopt shit if you find it yourself. New age Ascension seems like a weird abstraction about on the same abstraction level of Satan or demons.

Depends on the cheater not the act of cheating itself

Seems to be more about immersing yourself in the perspective of the people you are going after. When you learn what techniques get you laid you also have to embody the mindset in which the behavior stems from. It's like acting to get what you want it seems.

This guy has come up on the forums many times. I get the impression he has some axe to grind. Perhaps he started opening up and got scared shitless. Definitely seems like he's running away and justifies by claiming he used to be spiritual. As if he had a major realization and it wasn't just that he didn't want to let go of his ideas.

@Emerald Thanks for your reply. Also the kids needing simple answers resonates with me. Reminds me in math class where to teach me a general concept they'll give a simple incorrect form of it and in later education it gets corrected. Helps you not feel overwhelmed.

This is hard because just about everything has a connection if you go broad enough.

It's easy to see other people's bullshit but it is hard to see your own. She can't see hers

I do appreciate the dissolving of categorizations it does offer a good perspective in seeing unity but the problem is this does seem to be an attempt to run away from separation instead of embracing both separation and unity. Two sides of the same coin. But I think this kind of thing will continue. Going to both sides of the extreme before you find balance between the two. Going too far I see as a very beneficial thing because by doing so the country will learn. No better way to learn than direct experience. And once it passes they'll see past the mistakes. In the same way going up the spiral and evolve you see the mistakes of the stages before it. @Emerald Do you think a lot of this stems from trying to dissolve generalizations? In the US projecting how men and women should be is still pretty prevalent. They think getting rid of the category will dissolve the ideology of expecting behavior. Seems more like tackling the symptom of a disease than the disease itself.

@Enizeo You talked about pros and cons of poly relationships but not cons of monogamous relationships. When you realize your capability to create love in the same way you can have multiple friends it can definitely feel inauthentic to love someone but have to moderate your love for other people. I think especially teenagers get early glimpses of liking multiple people but it gets suppressed in a one or the other way of looking at it

Bravo on the first bit. I definitely never caught that. But the blending of that line becomes tricky. Ensure the ego self isn't selectively applying this when it is most beneficial. Embodying such nondual truths will become trickier when the ego is faced with more threat I didn't ask that in a matter of fearing but rather to bring awareness to how you commit. To not make a commitment you can't keep. To hold someone as your married partner and commit for life is a gamble, to commit for as long as possible or similar would be more accurate. It is about not claiming to know something you don't know. You can't claim you'll be married or want to be a year for now but you can claim in the now that you are still striving for the best of the marriage.

What is an entity? Entity just seems like assigning some kind of identity and assigning responsibility to it. It almost personifies what is happening to you. Seems like others just don't do this but are pointing to same thing.

You know in the majority of cases it seems only those somewhat receptive to the idea of spirits actually claim such a mystical experience. Perhaps the mind is what is manifesting these experiences.

Could you leave the marriage if your intuition suggested for you to? I find assuming staticness and getting attached to that can be a major problem. And unless you've figured out how to access parts of the future, definitely be careful on the terms of your commitment so they don't get the wrong idea. This is all the more reason to base the relationship on the now. Also be wary of getting rid of selfish tendencies and thinking you got rid of them. Selfishness can be very deceptive. For example on the surface level sacrificing your own well being for others will be considered selfless but you do it because it makes you feel good to do it so it ends up fulfilling selfish desires at it's core. Same could be said about desiring spiritual purification and truth.

Info is in the thread.

Why not do what you want to do in your free-time and juggle both until your preferred one becomes viable to profit off of? A lot of people who do YouTube for example start it as a hobby and only quit their job when they can live off it.

A lot of advice here will reflect where our desires lead us. I'm going to try to give you advice that can be applied relatively to you. Don't worry about trying to be the most conscious person or the most good person. What are your desires? Don't be more conscious than you already are. The goal here is for you to act in a way that reflects where you are in life. We aren't going to take the same actions as some guru because we aren't gurus. You are you so while you can take in advice to consider the best choice should be a reflection of what you desire in life. Your past will haunt you if you don't put in effort to become content with it. Your past is in the past it is not in the present moment you are experiencing. Love your own ignorance, love your own doings in your past. Love yourself so that you can take in your experiences and and continue to change. Holding grudges on yourself will set you back. Ultimately you not being at peace is resistance so acceptance must be practiced here. Moving there when you are resisting currently is just an attempt to run away from your resistance instead of tackling it head on. Would you move if you were perfectly content in your current situation? Or is your desire to do this only to run away from your current discomfort? What does your intuition say? Its very easy to stray off path of your goals if you consistently run away from discomfort. My advice would be you still have a lot for you to work on. Do you want to help raise somebody before you have your shit figured out?

Questionable. Visual artifacts aren't too uncommon for people in general. I've had visual snow ever since I was a kid. Used to think I was just seeing air particles. Psychedelics can also exaggerate these effects.

That's why you find a woman who wants it from the start. Trying to convert a woman from monogamous to poly will introduce way too many issues. Especially if they are doing it for you and not for themselves.

@CreamCat it's not that they don't work per se it is just many people jump into it without being developed enough to handle such types of relationships. So they end up hurt because they still have things they need to work past. Too much fantasy not enough real world experience I see is the culprit to people moving into it too fast.

@Smika I have read on masculine and feminine energy in a much broader sense as it being a route in how the physical plane is manifested. (Gender principle kyballion) But your explanations really tied up the more nuanced examples of how this applies and balances itself out. Very insightful ?

Not as many people are open to poly or open relationships. But if you are either of the two and don't feel satisfied being in a monogamous relationship it will eat at you to stay in it because you are repressing a part of yourself. I had a similar conflict with my ex whom was really upset that I was ok with having sex with other women if it was allowed in the relationship. If you are monogamous and the conflict is just her not liking you accepting poly relationships existing maybe she took it the wrong way like you suggesting you want a more open relationship. I also went through this with my ex.

@Emerald Does some videos of her own.

Being authentic doesn't mean you can't change or become successful. It means you will only change and become successful if that is what you truly want instead of just blindly giving into the wants of others.

The short answer is to be infinity. You as an ego are a finite part of the infinite and what it means to be you is what you are currently experiencing. Its like a house broken up into rooms with no doors or windows. Might be possible for you to break the walls down to some degree (samadhi)
