Does your attainment of enlightenment affect your emotions? Are you able to feel less or more deeply an emotion?

How does the enlightenment compare to the dark night of the soul?

How is your level of suffering right now? Were there signs that you were close to enlightenment? For example, humming in the background, feeling vibrations in the body, having more depth in your vision like it's going more 3d? I'm recently experiencing some weird stuff and coincidences around me as well.

I have a question about reincarnation for you. I've had a few weird dreams that stuck to me since childhood and haven't change in memory at all. Is this some indication that I've once lived like this in a past life? The memory stayed exactly as it is.

Since you're enlightened, which path is unfolding to you, the hermit path or the bodhisattva path? Could you explain some of the tendencies of enlightened people becoming bodhisattvas or hermits? Also, why are you not interested in developing siddhis?! If I had a siddhi or two, I would be training them alongside the journey! Might be very useful later.

I meant she likes to prank me, not the stuff that happens in bedrooms. That could be taken out of context so fast lol!

Yep, I understand. Forgot to mention this too: my current girlfriend is similar as well, except she's less sensitive, more able to discuss crazy things, and is cute. This is how I was able to learn very quickly about this dynamic as she sometimes likes to pull one on me.

I don't what this emotion is but I've been feeling this feeling for bout 6 years, 2 in Montreal and 4 in the UK. I've lived in Montreal for 8 years and on thee last year my family and I had to move back to the UK, which was pretty rough. I am being plagued by this feeling! It's bugging me for most of the years, but sometimes it goes away for a month, or a week, only to come back stronger! It's hard enough for me to trail this feeling when it's confusing. Any advice? I'm feeling like I'm banging my head on a wallpaper. So far it feels slow, and that's as far as I got with this feeling in my body.

That's very true. Besides more beautiful people, I find it very interesting how this could potentially affect different types of sicknesses and diseases. Would these viruses/bacteria/funguses evolve as well, into newer forms to be able to affect newer forms of humanity? How about eugenics and favorable brain chemistry and physicality? It's very interesting implications.

He sounds like an interesting person. I would bring mindfulness to if you're feeling some negative emotion/thought as soon as you want to argue back. Those thoughts/emotions usually start and fuel an argument. Ultimately, arguing never creates change, only keeps you and him stuck in that position vs position dynamic, a win-lose only outcome. I would let go, a little bit, of arguing back and instead lead the conversation into a discussion and have him tell you what his vision of flat earth for him is. Try not to come off as interrogative either when you ask him to explain, try to be interested in his view. He might even share more "interesting" beliefs when he notices you listening more to him. You're a special person to attract people like this. It's a praising?

LMAO! No, Corbyn is stage green, mostly, with some blue and a tinge of red. He failed to integrate stages orange ( his lack of coming up with a solid plan and strategy for Brexit) and stage blue, which he could not craft a persuasive message to rally stage blue to him. Him saying he's an antisemitic person, supports BDS and terror organizations Hamas and Hizbollah is his desperate attempt to appeal to the middle eastern migrant's population here to vote for him. These attempts are him, who also failed to integrate stage red, reaching out to some of the stages red/blue migrants for more votes. Boris Johnson is only better than him because he has integrated more orange than Corbyn, and has more mastery of rationality and persuasion. Combined with a better campaign team more organized than Corbyn's own, with more resources than Corbyn, it is frankly obvious who would win the election. Now Corbyn has recently declared a possibility of him retiring early, basically a polite way of running away with your tail between your legs. A great example for anyone here studying spiral dynamics and growing consciousness and integrating stages - this is not what you want to become. I'm looking forward to who would actually be Boris's rival in the near future. It's definitely not Corbyn.

He is a good example of when a stage green person fails to integrate orange and blue values in oneself. Failure to plan out, strategize and execute as well as to communicate to stage blue groups is what led to his downfall. Now he retreats with his tail between his legs. Great lesson for all to see.

Corbyn is a good example of what a stage green individuals look like when they haven't integrated stage orange values and tactics. Too ideological and too little mastery of rational and planning. Now he declares an early retirement for himself. A shining example of what not to become.

Very true.

Why is there something rather than nothing rather than something?

It's true. If you look at the history of the UK, on average, the culture is mostly central, sometimes either central left or central right. We are quite conservative because, oh shocker, we are a cluster of islands! We gotta conserve what we have. Right next to us is a continent of people that in history wanted to conquer us and vice verca! People forget how much geology, atmosphere, biomass and water systems, all-natural resources, play a huge role in shaping culture. Furthermore, thanks to eugenics, whatever collective attitudes previous generations have will pass onto the genes of the next generation. It's realistic to say this problem will probably take hundreds of years to resolve itself before the UK is ready to take on stage green at all.

It seems that conservatives are too strong in comparison to the liberals and labour, having more influence on mainstream media. Now Boris and conservatives will lead brexit and be in power for about 5-10 years, fully focused on addressing issues that stage blue and orange groups want to be resolved for this country. Clearly, the liberals, liberal democrats and labour, which are stage green ideologies, are not quite ready yet to systematically tackle this country's issues so far: Wealth inequality between wealthier cities (London) and poorer places. unequal distribution of wealth locally. Illegal/excess Immigration of people mostly in stage blue or some red to the UK. immigration equality and immigration processing, not just for middle easterners, but for Europeans that are mid-low class. Inability to deport high-risk immigrants. gender equality in education and culture. Shortening of available employment for the local population by migrants such as middle easterners and Europeans. Laws that need to be revised. Prosecution of criminals in this country, native British, to middle easterners and Europeans is poor. Corruption in media and the political system we have currently.

Update: the conservatives are leading, almost more than half of the labour's votes. Stage orange is strong with this country! And so too is stage blue.

That's true. He was actually beaten by some of his fanatical followers who have their own agenda of a 'better UK'. He recently was forced to fire a senior adviser who had a sensible plan for his economic policy all because he was not as radical as them. If elected, Corbyn, along with the extreme 'corbynistas' would be devastating for the UK. Boris Johnson is also not a good candidate for MP either, because he has a vision for the UK that's too materialistic and too narrow, feels like he's trying to emulate Trump. High chance for a hung parliament. I get the feeling if this keeps getting worse we might regress back to some form of monarchy and the queen would have to step in.

It's like chocolate. Leo has had tiny samples of the entire chocolate spectrum while Ralston focuses more on dark chocolate and fewer on milk and white chocolate, conflating white chocolate for conditional love and milk chocolate for not being hardcore enough. The difference is just in experiences and ironically Ralston's attachment to his way of spirituality.

Emotions are complex yet primitive. They exist to aid in your survival in so many ways. The best I could describe the differences between anger and fear is this; anger has more intensity and heat than fear in general. Also, which anger? There's a feeling of annoyance, feeling vengeful, feeling disgusted and feeling rage. There's also fear; insecurity, nervousness, worrying, terror and much more. Which one are you comparing to see the sameness or differences? I would get an emotion thesaurus and the Sedona method's chart of emotions( or any other models of emotions) and use mindfulness to see how you think and feel for each one. Good luck.

Sounds like you're ready to focus more on spirituality than women. I'd recommend Nofap easy mode to you and see how you feel after 3 or so months. If you're feeling brave, go Nofap hard mode and focus more on meditating/contemplating/self-inquiry. Good luck.

Remember that the Russian counterparts, the socialists and the communists on the left, hate Corbyn. Even sharing the same left-wing ideology and still not liking Corbyn because of his extreme position already foreshadows how extreme he is. Yeah, good luck to Corbyn.

I agree that we need a better leader than Boris.

Alright, that explains a lot. I've assumed you live here and hold labour strongly. I hold my politics loosely. I'm not strongly for the conservatives as we can sometimes have a few nasty right-wing people, it's just my upbringing is conservative. Yet the same is true for the extreme left. Ideally, I don't want the UK to turn into a state-operated like china, where we bend over way too much for foreigners and we become too collectivistic. We need better regulation. Fair enough. The UK is an island (136 islands). Being an island, there are limits on resource distribution. Europe, on the other hand, is a continent with enough space to allow more socio-political experiments onto the people. I just don't see the UK being dominated by left-wing politics. You really have to have the skill-sets of conservatives to maintain order in an island that's already about to suffer less and fewer places to live.
