  1. Okay, I get you. Did you boil it out via meditation? Or just you noticed this boiling out occurred naturally?
  2. If Trump wins and things go south they will probably just say the devil is strong. And then scapegoat some minority.
  3. It seems clear to me that the following has happened. The content creator has simply found a new style of meditation called non-directive meditation. Where in you practice letting whatever is be, rather than exercising any sense of control of your attention whilst meditating. Do nothing meditation method is not an uncommon practice. So, in essence, he has just found a different type of meditation method that works for him. The irony is he is claiming that meditation methods won't set you free because he found a new meditation method that set him free. A better title for his experience would be: Directive meditation methods won't see you free. That said, the issue of being identified with the observer is a known weakness of mindfulness meditation. But the idea is that after a while the habit of meditating leads to the automatic watching of the watcher.
  4. I suppose its important to define the 'good' in good intentions. I haven't watched that Leo video so not sure how he defined it.
  5. @Davino @Ero Thanks. Was more looking for understanding of what sort of mind stuff will be purified in the process though. For example, will it purify things like shame & depression?
  6. Your mind could just be generating illusions
  7. @Buck Edwards I think you have found your life purpose lol
  8. @TruthFreedom But how do you know about what others say? You perceive it via your physical senses. You have never had an experience which is not generated by your mind. It has always only involved your 5 senses and your thinking mind. You cannot use your mind experiences to prove that there is something other than mind.
  9. My dumbass took way too long to find that hidden text lmao
  10. Is/ ought fallacy. Just because something is the case doesn't mean it ought to be.
  11. Teaching. At least that's the last place in the 10 Ox-herding pics.
  12. I rethought your idea and changed my mind. So deleted my comment.
  13. I think its pretty obvious that there are risks even if you have social support.
  14. I don't understand what point you are making in relation to my previous comment
  15. My most recent reply also applies to this. Humans do not have free will, so you have to guide their decisions. You guide this through government systems. So, government systems have total responsibility.
  16. Okay i see. I would agree that those two things may form part of the solution. But not the full solution. Human beings don't have free will, so you have to guide their decisions to what you want. If you want women to call the cops in the desired situation you have to guide women to do so. If they don't call it is because not calling meets certain needs in a way that calling does not. So, you must think about how you can make it such that making the call meets their needs better. For example, promoting a better perception of female safety after contacting police.
  17. I think @Buck Edwards makes a good point. Imo, your argument places blame on the individual without considering the risks the individual takes in calling the cops.
  18. @mr_engineer Agree with second point. But wait to solve what?
  19. @mr_engineer Yeah I think you make some great points. I think you are generalizing somewhat, but it is quite common for some women to talk that way. My thinking is that we are all responsible for handling our own emotions, except for when experiencing abuse. This, to my understanding, is also pretty much boundary psych 101 too. So, if a woman feels uncomfortable, whilst talking to a guy and calls him creepy, and says he makes me uncomfortable, that isn't taking responsibility for her emotions. I guess there is a middle ground where someone is acting weirdly. Like he starts intensely licking his lips, and whispering 'I need you mummy', whilst talking to her or something like that lmao. In that situation I think its okay to call him a creep. So, I dunno. I think my point is really for when a guy gets called creepy just when he is socially awkward. Like the girl just feels uncomfortable, and so does the guy, and then the girl blames the guy for making her uncomfortable and labels him creepy. And i think unfortunately it isn't uncommon for socially awkward dudes, who aren't being weird, to get labels creeps, or creepy by some women. That said, I guess that only really applies to a certain subset of women. Some types of women are very empathetic. But I guess ultimately i'd say for the subcategories of women who do call those dudes creepy they don't get called out enough for it.
