Santa is real The NSA has kidnapped him Here's proof

I've never ignored anyone on this forum and I don't think I ever will. Every person here is a reflection of this space in one way or another. Also I truly believe a wise man can learn more from a fool than a fool can learn from a wise man. Most people in the world are utter fools, so might as well study them and get to know them.

It's a lot like this type of art, when looked at from one specific angle, it portrays a pretty clear picture, but when looked at from any other angle, it's just a bunch of strings and pieces. It's just such a vague model (if you can even call it that), that if you start to actually think about it, it falls apart from pretty much every perspective.

Chop water, carry wood

As I suspected from the very beginning, this is just you making a fool of yourself for not being able for whatever reason to make basic distinctions. You're basically making as silly of an argument as there is only one type of apple in the world, while in reality there are many types of apples in the world, varying in shapes, sizes, sourness, sweetness, juiciness etc. You can live in a world with the distinctive capability of a 5 year old, but don't be making the argument that you're somehow right in doing so. I didn't even read the rest of your reply to me, this is all I need to know. As far as I'm concerned, this case is closed.

That is such a poor way of putting it. If you are not a trained martial artist, are you ALLOWING someone to beat the fuck out of you? No, you are simply INCAPABLE of stopping them from doing it if they want to. Same with gaslighting, you are either capable of seeing what is happening and putting an end to it one way or another, or you are not capable of it. Using the word "allowing" in this context is pure stupidity. You can play word games all you want, but until you get beaten up, or raped, or mentally and emotionally abused by your spouse or your boss, are you not going to take them to court because you're too proud to be a "victim"? Or are you going to take them to court while not being a victim? You know being a victim isn't synonymous with being a crybaby, right? If you get stabbed for no reason, then the stabber by definition is the perpetrator, and you by definition are a victim, comprende? It doesn't mean you have to cry about it, it doesn't mean you have to sulk about it and go down a downward spiral of self-pity, but it doesn't mean you can't hold that person accountable to their actions either.

IMO You should take most things he says with a grain of salt. I respect the man, he's doing great things for the collective consciousness of humanity and nature with the Isha foundation. But he says some seriously wacky stuff on a regular basis. Don't put yourself into chastity for fear of not attaining Enlightenment because Indian Santa Claus said so. That's just silly.

@Razard86 I am very interested in what you'd have to say to my explanation of what gaslighting is.

@StarStruck No, using it incorrectly is toxic. It's a perfectly good word when used in the right context. However victim mentality has risen a lot recently and people with that mentality love to use that word. It's the way it is used by these people that is causing this confusion and frustration around the word. However people have been misusing psychological terms since they were invented. Hell, people have been misusing words for as long as we have had language. That doesn't mean we should view psychological terms or language as toxic.

@Razard86 @Roy Let's say two people have a date, and they agree to meet at 8. The girl shows up at 8, but the guy is already there and asks why she's 30 minutes late. She's confused and replies she thought they agreed it's at 8. He says they certainly agreed it was 7:30, but he says he forgives her this time. If the guy genuinely believed it was 7:30, and he was generally very sure of himself, and didn't mean to show up on the wrong time, it wouldn't be gaslighting. But if the guy KNEW they agreed to meet at 8, and he KNOWS she doesn't have the best memory or self-esteem, and that he is intentionally doing this to make herself doubt herself even more so he can take even greater advantage of her in the future. IT'S CALLED GASLIGHTING. It's a DISTINCT type of mental & emotional abuse, that DOES HAPPEN IN REAL LIFE. (Admittedly not as much as it's thrown around as an accusation). What else would you call it, other than something overly simplistic and general like lying or abuse? Sure, you could do that, if making simple distinctions takes too much brainpower for you. Just because a bunch of people don't know what gaslighting actually is and frequently misuse the term, it doesn't mean that what Gaslighting was originally meant to be a label for doesn't exist.

This. It's such a simple term that it's kind of sad, frustrating and a little bit funny to see how many people just can't understand it and either claim it doesn't exist or accuse someone of doing it because of a mere disagreement. (Looking at some people on this forum...)

You know what you're right. I'm behaving like an asshole. And to be honest, I've participated in and completed NNN before. The thing is, people make such a big deal out of it, but there's actually serious reasons for that, like when guys get hooked to porn at like 12 or something and completely lose themselves in it and start beating their poor lil' buddy into oblivion multiple times a day completely disconnected from their body due to being entranced in porn. I realize a lot of them have tried to beat their addiction and failed and NNN feels almost sacred, a coming together of wiener beaters to overcome a serious addiction. The thing is, I think it's a noble effort but a bad tactic. What'ya gonna do when December rolls around? The few that managed to go through NNN will have a massive ego backlash and destroy their results in a few days. The key is and has always been moderation and awareness. Turn it from a 'cumpulsion' into a practice. Read "The Multi-Orgasmic Man" or a similar book, and keep a record of every time you fap until you feel like you genuinely don't need those kind of training wheels anymore. And damnit, stop being so damn cringe about it. No, you're not getting SEMEN SUPERPOWERS, you're experiencing what it's like to see the world without a totally overloaded dopamine system. If you feel drained after a nut, that is a huge sign that you have a serious issue and could probably use professional help.

Hahaha this is too true

This is just a copy paste of Leo's blog, don't you think the least you could do is mention that? Also I think it's pretty interesting to see a Mormon in a place like this. All of the Mormons I've talked to are not near open minded enough to be able to spend their time in a place such as this, if I may ask, are you fully a Mormon, or only partially?

Beat the game on first try, with the word Booger It begins looping between the 3'rd and 4'th page, where the first link on Semipermeable Membrane is Biological Membrane, and on Biological Membrane page the first link is Semipermeable Membrane

People have been making threads like these for years now, and they will keep making them for years to come unless he decides it's not worth the space on this forum (fingers crossed). Go worry about your own life, I'm sure there's pleeeeenty of more important things you should be worrying about other than someone you've never met and don't know. Now shoo, go get laid, meditate or trip balls or something. Now here's something to calm your nerves

Yeah you're right.

That's just stage beige (pure instinct/survival). Stage Turqoise is the stage of sages and mystics. I don't know why you would want one specifically for religious figures that no one alive has never met. I mean no offense but I recommend you go back to studying the basics of the model before you try changing it.

I think it'll become some type of mainstream version of 4chan.

99.999%+ Of people who try NNN are just people who masturbate too much and once a year they try to gather up to fight the demon they've had next to no success fighting on their own. Then 99% of them fail.

This. In almost every single debate, philosophy or ideology since the dawn of mankind, this has been the case.

@King Merk Maybe when it comes to men you're a bit like a mormon girl, beneath thick layers of judgement and shame hides a primal desire that you need just the right person to woo you in just the right way for you to be able to discover what's beneath.

I can't say you're wrong there, you'll find insecure, socially indept misogynistic incels pretty much anywhere on the internet, including here. However just posting content that might interest those types of people with no context is generally seen as a bad move.

What is the point of this thread?
