    Nowadays a philosopher is like a tramp

    In what way? Some write best selling books and are prestigious lecturers.

    Or are you talking about the odd philosopher who has fallen on hard times and become a bum? LOL

    Wtf man? Your post had me chuckling away for a good few minutes.

    I think when people leave the forum it's normally to take a break from mental masturbation, or to practice their mental masturbation in private instead of here on show :D

    There needs to be a NO FAP movement to help all people addicted to mental masturbation. 

    But on a serious note, thanks for your comments on my journal, be nice to stay in touch. So the forum isn't meeting your needs or holding your interest?

    @Bill W No problem buddy

    I don't surf this forum, when I come here, its with something in mind

    I've been thinking of mkming a habit out of writing one post a week on here as well

    Any topic I find interesting and relates to self help, I'll write about and throw on here to get some outside ideas

    I recommend you do the same, it seems to me that that's the best way of getting help out of the forum

    Too true and well said. It most definitely applies to me what you said.

    As for your DoB on your profile. Be careful mate as you are at increased risk re COVID-19 due to your age group :D   Date of Birth 07/04/1873

    Great thread man. Thanks for taking the time. That's a lot of work you put in to give us this. I've bookmarked to come back to and to think about implementing some of it for myself. The emphasis on breathing and also dopamine is nice. 

    I'm in a bit of a rut with this forum at the moment feeling that everything's crap on here and a waste of time to read and i hate feeling like that. So stumbling onto this is great. It's positive and grounds you back to basics. 

    Well done for this and thanks!

    I never got back to you! We've all been instructed to work from home at the moment. So I'm doing all my client work by phone, text, and email. It makes me wonder what would have become of me if this whole Coronavirus stuff hadn't kicked off, because I was on the verge on completely falling apart at work. Now, I have some much needed perspective and the pressure is off somewhat. I feel bad saying that, but it's true. I feel saved by the bell a little bit. I can't pretend to feel otherwise.

    I feel a massive sense of gratitude. I've still got my job. Still on the same salary and working from home with 50% less work pressure because all the job targets have needed to be relaxed a bit. However, it's a private company who get paid by meeting Government targets. Sooner or later the math's won't add up and there could be changes.

    I've got my nursing status to fall back on if that happens. I'm still a registered nurse.

    My dad's pissed because the two things he likes doing have gone. Pub breakfast in the morning and then pub drinking in the evening, so I'm supporting him a bit more, he lives over the road from me and he is 77 and on his own.

    But back to you...

    Interesting to watch the urge to habitually drink, watch porn and regress in other ways over the last week or so. Stress can do that.

    As you say, stress can do that. I read once something that always stays with me.... at times of stress we fall back on our existing habits. These habits will either be good habits, bad habits, or a mixture. Whatever habits you have built, you will practice and lean on at times of stress. So, that's where it could be either; booze, porn, anger, manipulation, eating, or it could be meditation, prayer, reading, exercise, social connection or relaxation. 

    If you are anything like me and the vast majority of 12-step programme members, when you have practiced bad habits for 90% of the time over the course of 10+ years, compared to 10% good habits, then guess what happens? Revert to type and get right back into those bad habits unless you purposefully and with complete dedication install and practice new habits.

    That's nice Keyhole. Thanks

    With the group meditation. I much prefer the idea of people meditating or praying together at the same time for everyone, so we are doing it together at the same time if that makes sense, but I know it could be a challenge in terms of time zones.

    I've always found meditation more powerful when done with others, either in person, or remotely like we are discussing here.

    what is this a threat?

    the woman on the picture def has a darker tone, if this is colour or melanin does not matter its a visual hint. don’t sell yourself that cheap - its getting into the negative range.

    Your comments about race are more idiotic than the original post. And why is it a threat? You are seeing things that are not there, like a meltdown. It's not worth freaking out on. Now is the not the time to do that. I've been forever saying that.

    this is racist and sexistic.

    can someone stop this please - these cases are precedents now, which are going too far. you will not be able to count fast enough until women will leave this forum.

    a lot of the male forum users lately talking about enlightenment and such but then not being able to discern themselves from the shit they are posting. 

    it slowly seems really like a women hater and racist forum trying to hide this under fake spirituality to find enough victims for your sick and mischievous jokes.

    @Serotoninluv @Nahm @Inliytened1 @Anna1

    Massive over reaction. How many times have you left the forum?

    The debate about people surviving long-term on no food at all is sort of like the debate about aliens.

    Are they among us? If so, then why hasn't anybody caught one?

    Maybe they're among us, but they hide from us because they're much, much smarter than us...

    Or they're simply invisible by nature.

    Then, if they are invisible, do they have mass?

    If they don't have mass, are they even alive? Or real?

    Hypothesis: people staying alive long-term without calories are definitely real. If you change your definition of alive and/or real.

    There most likely is alien breatherians as it wouldn't surprise me that another lifeform has transcended the need for food to survive. Humans are probably the most fragile in the Universe. We need water and food or we are dead. We are too dependent.

    haha this post didn't have to be low consciousness if we didn't have to keep telling each other how beautiful the pretty ones are xD but its ok, I mean, its a world crisis. we like to look at beautiful people. it works out.

     

    It's not easy suppressing the male sexual instinct. Doesn't matter if you a turquoise or red xD

    If you think you can help more with your mind than with your actions go right ahead, just know, when a car is careening toward a cliff, better to hit the brakes than pray.

    This person has started off a lovely and positive thread. It's a great idea. Meditating is taking action. Prayer is taking action. I love the way the original poster has just responded with even more positivity each time you have replied ??✌

    Hello my man,

    I've not been too active on the journals lately. Are you feeling any better yet? Or still in that depressive episode? 

    Are you able to take some time away from the whole employment thing? I know most people can't of course, due to finances.

     

    Take care, speak soon.
