    I somehow feel sad tonight. And I feel like capturing this feeling via words; hence, here’s the saddest post I’ve ever shared in this forum.

    The passing of time and the changing of forms make me very sad from time to time. There’s a Japanese phrase for this: “mono no aware.” “Mono no aware” is a Japanese idiom for the awareness of impermanence (無常, mujō), or transience of things, and both a transient gentle sadness (or wistfulness) at their passing as well as a longer, deeper gentle sadness about this state being the reality of life.

    What triggered this “mono no aware” is the girl I saw in a 1976 film. That was her acting debut, but she won best actress.

    charo at 20.png

    Her name is Charo, and she was 20 here. This type of girl can be my wife and have kids with me, not just one of my concubines. She epitomizes genuine (no makeup) feminine beauty, gentleness, and purity.

    She reminds me of the intern doctor I flirted with. I'm not the type of man who misses girls. But I miss her because that level of beauty is extremely rare. 

    47 years had passed since appearing in the film, and here she is (in 2022). She had become a class-A actress, film producer, tv host, and President and CEO of the biggest media company in her home country. That’s equivalent to being the CEO of Walt Disney Company or Comcast in the USA.

    charo at 67.png

    The passing of time brings with it the changing of forms.
    She was still beautiful, especially for a woman her age. But her accomplishments (and makeup) did not stop the passing of her feminine beauty, gentleness, and purity. At 68, she looked as if she was a different person.

    I feel sad and disappointed thinking that even if I married this girl and enjoyed her splendor when she was 20, she would gradually and eventually lose her beauty as decades pass by. And then she'll lose her life.

    Then I think about the things I love about myself. Damn, I will eventually lose them significantly or completely via the passing of time and changing of forms. It makes me experience “mono no aware.”

    I'll end this post with a poem I generated via AI:

    The minutes tick away so fast,
    And soon the present becomes the past.
    Days turn into weeks, and weeks to years,
    And we're left with memories and tears.

    The sun rises and sets day after day,
    And the seasons come and go, in their own way.
    We watch as the world changes before our eyes,
    And we're left to ponder, as time flies.

    Sometimes we wish we could stop the clock
    And hold on to the things we love and cherish
    But time is a river that never stops
    And forms are the shapes that always perish

    But though time may take away what we hold dear,
    It also brings new beginnings, and hope, and cheer.
    For with every ending, there's a chance to start anew,
    And to make the most of the time we have, before it's through.

    So let us cherish every moment, and make it count,
    For time is a gift that we cannot do without.
    Let us live life to the fullest, and never forget,
    That time is a precious, fleeting asset.

    My guess is that more and more 'low consciousness' folks are joining the forum and more and more 'high consciousness' folks are leaving, or are semi-active, kind of in the background. Which is not necessarily a bad thing, but I feel like the balance is not quite there in this case.

    Every other member posting on this sub is now 'God-realized' or 'the most awakened one' or whatever else. I've seen members hijack the entire sub, rambling about how enlightened they are, what things are or are not, etc. And I get it. You have some mystical experiences, a few realizations, you take some psychedelics, you meditate a bit... and now you want the whole world to know how enlightened you are. I know the feel, bro. Been there. And I certainly have done or said some stupid shit on here myself. But you gotta tame that beast, bro. You gotta be smarter than that. You must know your place. 

    The few high-consciousness users don't spend too much time on this forum because they have less incentive to do so. Most users in this forum have average or low consciousness, and their posts align with that. Such posts are unappealing to highly conscious or sensible users.

    Bullshitters love bullshitting each other. So, they end up creating the most number of posts. xD

     I'm not surprised by the forum's situation.

    Leo is not the most awakened human ever.

    It's possible he has reached the highest awakening. But it was temporary.

    His baseline or usual consciousness is NOT equal to his highest awakening. 

    I don't intend to say what he spiritually accomplished is useless. I myself am interested in what he awakened to. I just need to clarify things.

    I can not believe i was not born a woman. It makes me so angry that women are praised for being themselves and me as a man is looked as worthless. I believe people need to be murdered for this. I can't cope with this.

    They need to be murdered? xD

    I used to feel the way you feel when I was completely internally destroyed; extreme anxiety and depression and low self-love and self-esteem.

    I decided to internally heal myself and become "how a man should be". It took more than a decade of consistent self-therapy while being a wage slave. It was difficult as fuck. After work, my workmates dined at restaurants, drank beer, or traveled to tourist spots; while I was inside my room, digging deep into the past, introspecting, contemplating, journaling, and facing my greatest childhood pain and fears.

     Now, I feel the opposite. 

    Masculine beauty is profound or comprehensive, and very difficult to embody. And that's exactly the reason why I love being a man. Girls are shallow, though I love their physical beauty, femininity, and gentleness.

    and what's seems stupid also is that living creatures eat other living creatures. What the fuck is wrong with that guy (God)? 

    It's not only dumb, it's also cruel. 

    I've been contemplating these things for many years; I still don't have a satisfying answer, to be honest.

    But it became clear to me that a limited mind or consciousness can never have a satisfying answer. There's only one way to get that satisfying answer: to access God's unlimited consciousness. Anything else is speculation, though such speculation is sensible.

    Yes, God is a bastard, and it's valid to see and complain about the flaws in God's design. But one must introspect, be self-honest, and ask this question: "GOD IS A BASTARD. BUT AM I ALSO A BASTARD?".

    If the answer is YES, then your complaints have little significance. If the answer is NO, then God is also a hero. Why? Because you're also a direct manifestation of God.

    No there's not. You're an illusion pretending to be real. You're the best actor. 

    There's only one consciousness, one dream. Solipsism is completely beautiful, not horrible. It should make you feel love and joy, not sadness or horror.

    thank you very much. I considered killing myself because of the fear that I would murder my step father. I understood that I would rather die than become a monster.

    Are you living with your stepfather now? If so, move out as soon as possible. Heal from a distance.

    If it's not possible to move out, stay away from him as much as possible. For example, you can stay in your room most of the time and just go out of the room if he's not in the house.

    I don't know why you felt like murdering your stepfather. If you really want to murder him, just punch him in the face or hurt him in other ways. Never murder him. Yes, his life will end literally. But, your life will also end metaphorically. I hope you understand.

    Just express your anger to him if you really need to, but never murder him unless he's in the act of murdering you and you're forced to defend yourself.

    It seems that I felt like I was a terrible person due to some kind of childhood imprinting. I believed I didn't have the freedom to not be like my father. There is the whole narrative about me carrying on my father's name, but it's ridiculous, I never believed it.

    I also didn't have the freedom to be free from physical, mental-emotional, and verbal abuse from my father. All kids don't have this freedom. You're not alone. That was why I mentioned a parent's license for parenthood.

    It's good you never believed it. It's dumb to carry your father's name if it's metaphorically dirty. If it's metaphorically clean or noble, no problem, go ahead and carry his name.

    Basically, the entire family has been full of criminals for a very long time. He  and his father were hoping that one day the cycle would end. They placed their hope on me. I'm not carrying their name though.

    This is transgenerational trauma. And it's very difficult to break.

    But what a big opportunity to be the first one to break it. You have your independent mind and life. You must exercise your will and do the correct thing.

    You're more conscious than your father and grandfather, which is good. You're in the correct direction. Just continue your journey until you reach where you want and should be.

    2. Religious institutions can get away with sex scandals for decades at a time. In the eyes of the people, the priests are too good to do anything so despicable.

    This is the ideological loophole I was talking about. "Massive value" providers are aware of this. So, they exploit this shit.

    This is how they think "I'm itching to generate money immediately. So, I'll invent a scam to accomplish it. I can even become an internet celebrity by doing it." 

    "I'm also horny, so I want to rape that girl. That way, I'll be sexually satisfied. It's also a good way to transfer my childhood pain and anger to another person, making me feel better." 

    "But how the fuck do I get away with all these? Ah!!! By providing massive value. I must be a massive value provider to society to fulfill my greed while making the world endure it. xD Problem solved."

    4. Biting the hand that feeds you is a common problem with parents and grandparents. They often get away with abusing kids because the kid needs them to survive.

    Standing up to authority is usually useless because they either exploit our survival needs to shield themselves from accountability or they delude people into thinking they are Christ like such as Donald Trump.

    Being a parent is supposed to be a very serious job. If we need to take a driver's license to drive, then why not get a parent's license to raise a kid?

    This is absurd. Parents shape the kid's future because they provide both nature and nurture. Politicians not realizing this is absurd.

    Standing up to authority is NOT useless. In fact, it's the best thing to do. How do I know this? I have done it many times.

    Yes, it made my life very difficult. I experienced horrible things because of it, including being conspired against and even kicked out of my house and a few companies I worked for. I have lost important things that most humans can't afford to lose.

    But I'm still alive. And those difficulties made me internally strong and mature. And I have seen good changes in people of authority, including my father because I stood up to them. I forced them to behave correctly. I have also seen good changes in situations I am in. These took many years to materialize, but they materialized at least. 

    I never regretted standing up for myself and to authority if they misbehaved.

    I am often afraid of my selfishness coming out, causing others to judge me harshly. My inability to get away with selfishness makes me paranoid and hyper vigilant. I can see the survival benefit of providing massive value in that it allows me to relax.

    Exactly. See? You yourself are trying to exploit the ideological loophole I explained.

     

    On 5/13/2023 at 6:41 AM, trenton said:

    The fact that I can't get away with selfishness indicates that I am not providing massive value to society. For example, my employer treats me like dirt, they refuse to give me a raise despite superior performance, and they can't follow their own rules yet they threaten to fire me for breaking the rules that nobody follows. For example, they had me clean up period blood even though someone certified is supposed to do that, not just any associate because of the health risk. Although integrity is a core value of the company, it doesn't act like it.

    Just walk away. Develop self-respect to be respected by others. It all starts internally.

    This is frustrating to me because I want to provide value to society, but I feel stuck in life anyway. Prior to getting high on weed, I had always felt like it was my fault for being unable to manage depression. I fought with myself to not make excuses and wanted to change, but I was simply unable to no matter how hard I tried. This is very tragic and it happens due to people not having access to psychedelics.

    I don't have access to psychedelics. But I'm very happy with who I have become. If you have seen my posts, you'll know I have gone through the worst mental-emotional tortures God could ever inflict on its creatures. 

    But humans are different. So maybe, you do need psychedelics. I just want to emphasize that psychedelics is NOT the only way.

    This is the ultimate police brutality. The Philippine police make the US police look as if they’re angels.

    This video is about a Philippine mayor who fell in love with a beautiful, gentle college student but ended up raping her and then splattering her brain and one of her eyes via gunshot to the face. This “massive value” provider mayor had all the power and resources to insert his penis into any girl he desired. You’d be unlucky if he saw and found your daughter attractive.

    He was able to persuade his high-ranking police officers to abduct the girl and “wrap her in a box” to be served as a gift.

    As the CEO of the town and a “massive value” provider, I was surprised to know that he DIDN’T get away with sin. I’m happy that a country as corrupt as the Philippines can do something better than South Korea and Japan, at least in this domain.  

     

    The rape victim’s mother hasn’t filed for damages worth USD 215.8k because she doesn’t want the perpetrator’s dirty money. This is a massive amount in the Philippines, a 3rd world country with an annual salary of approximately 2.5k USD. The victim’s mother would be satisfied if the “massive value” provider sinner felt remorse and offered a genuine apology for the massive damage he had done.

    Her intention can be seen as noble but also naive. She should have taken that money. The former mayor’s family will utilize that money for their benefit at the expense of others. They can bribe government officials to secure the mayor’s release, as they have seemingly already done. Devils should have no access to power and resources. But paradoxically, it’s them who often obtain and possess them; hence we have a world more reminiscent of hell than heaven.

    Unfortunately, Eileen’s mother never realized that devils don’t change and can never feel deep or genuine remorse. The devil mayor was sentenced to 360 years in prison because he was also charged with murdering his political opponent’s supporters.

    Even if God had given this “massive value” provider mayor 400 years of life, he would have stayed a devil until he became a skeleton or ashes.

    I'd rather die than be like him. I don't trust myself to act on my impulses. I'm going to do something selfish. I don't want to fly by the seat of pants and do what ever I want. The only way for me to live a happy life is to allow myself to follow my desires, but I hate being like dad. I'd rather kill myself.

    I'm afraid I might rape somebody, do a hit and run, fail to wear a condom during sex, remove a condom during sex like a fucking monster, and so on. I don't want to be a horrible person. I don't want to be selfish. I'd rather die.

    Yes, if you're going to live only to inflict pain on others for your benefit, then it's better if you die.

    Life is naturally difficult. And bullies (devils) make it even more difficult by inflicting pain on others for their benefit.

    But I see that you are at least more self-aware than your father. Your father never had the intention to be a good man. But you do. That itself makes you different from him. You must give yourself credit for that. Selfishly feel pleasure for having a genuine desire to be a good man.

    Just continue your journey. You know you have accomplished it when you have developed a genuine love and respect for truth and goodness. That makes being a good man automatic. Good luck!

    There is no charity. People only help Ukraine for their own geopolitical interests. There are tons of people dying in other parts of the world like in Uganda right now and nobody is putting up with their entitlement. 

    The USA, Japan, and their allies always proclaim "We are against changing the status quo by force.", as if they're the defender of justice. The main reason and perhaps the only reason they proclaim that is because the status quo favors them. 

    When the USA invaded Iraq, Japan and their allies were silent as a mute. 

    I don't support Russia invading Ukraine. 

    I just want to highlight the fact that the USA is too metaphorically dirty to be the world's savior. The USA helping Ukraine also benefits the USA. It's still selfishness.

    This video is about a very old Japanese man at the top of the food chain in the Japanese entertainment industry. The old Japanese boss had raped hundreds or thousands of Japanese boys for decades until his death and was able to get away with it. 

    The 2 Japanese comedians in the video did a very impressive job of exposing the old boss's sexual devilry. They made it very informative but also humorous. 

    The idea that a human who provides "much value" to society can get away with all his sins is horrible. This shit is prevalent among collectivist cultures such as Japanese society. The WW2 emperor, Hirohito, got away with his sins of directly and indirectly murdering millions of humans, including the ant-minded Kamikazes. Hirohito's Japanese slaves considered him a national father, authority, even a God, hence above the law and can't be punished. Regardless of how they achieved it, humans who are of authority or with high status have been taking advantage of this ideological loophole for centuries.

    This reminded me of Lee Jae-yong, the Samsung heir released from prison for bribery in August 2021. The president's alibi was that the sinner was a big economic contributor. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-58196575 and https://www.nytimes.com/2022/10/27/business/samsung-lee-jae-yong.html

    Other examples are the pardon of former presidents of South Korea, Lee Myung-bak, and Park Geun-hye, who were imprisoned for corruption.

    https://www.aljazeera.com/economy/2022/12/27/south-koreas-jailed-ex-president-lee-gets-presidential-pardon

    https://www.cnn.com/2021/12/23/asia/south-korea-park-pardoned-intl-hnk/index.html

    If they were wage slaves (ordinary citizens), they would have rot in jail. 

    Nobody should be above the law, even if he is a "massive value" provider.

    First of all, these "massive value" providers don't provide as much value as you think. They surely provide more value than an ordinary wage slave, but not a thousand times. So, they don't deserve to be paid a thousand times more than an ordinary wage slave. They are able to provide that much value because of their subordinates who work hard for them. They don't do it single-handedly. Secondly, these high-status, "massive value" providers obtain value from society much more than they provide; it's disproportional. Thirdly, they tend to inflict harm much more than an ordinary wage slave can because of their power and resources. Fourthly, they can be replaced by other competent leaders or value providers.

    Of course, the value they provide should also be acknowledged, but not to the point of absolving their sins. The value they provide to society should have little impact on justice. Anybody who thinks the value a devil provides justifies him getting away with his devilry is the devil's accomplice.

    Is it noble to screw someone over to gain power? Yes, screw over those who are rich and not noble. Screw over 3 well off guys to lift 10 who are starving. Would you take such high risk endevour for your benefit? Maybe. But it is also possible you are doing it out of empathy.

    Yes, it can be noble as long as the intention and actions are genuine. 

    But only a very mentally mature human can pull it off; at least a self-loving Stage Yellow who is also selfless and has strong Stage Green and Red aspects. I wonder whether Robinhood was that way.

    Is what Leo said about having enough wealth and education in order to become stage Green inconsistent with what he's also said about how rich and successful people including those are highly educated as being stuck in stage Orange?

    No, it's not. Many Stage Green humans have gone through Stage Orange. 

    But it's also true that many Stage Orange humans got stuck in that SPiral Stage. A good example is Warren Buffet. He's wealthy as fuck but also dumb as fuck. He will die soon, and he's still spending most of his time and energy on investing. What a waste of resources.

    I'm drinking coffee right now on my balcony while marveling at the surrounding tropical trees. I feel good. 

    DSC_0143~2.JPG

    Later in the afternoon, I will go to a big mall and enjoy delicious foods and marvel at the beauty of technology. 

    I chose to have a romantic relationship with existence. Existence is my real wife. The beautiful girls who existence produced are my concubines. :D

    See? I chose it. God can materialize it via me (if I choose it). I hope you will finally choose self-love and self-empowerment.

    @Holykael

    To be honest, I also feel tired. I have been standing up for myself my entire adulthood and I do feel the positive results; high self-love, self-esteem, self-confidence, feeling good despite problems, etc. But I have been unlucky the past few years (divorce, lost much money via scam, my student visa got cancelled) despite my best efforts. I have been feeling tired for many years. But as long as I'm alive, I'll use all my energy and intelligence to continue standing up for myself. It's a mindset. I hope you will choose to acquire that mindset.

    But for now, sleep long and deep. Eat variety of foods. Ejaculate once every day or 2 days. Take a walk in nature and breathe fresh air regularly (this will help you sleep well). Try to remember what you loved doing before you felt this misery and then do those lovable things more often. Finally, take a nap as often as needed. These things boost your energy. Oh, I almost forget, Qigong can also boost your energy.

    I'm not the doer after all. The script must go on. I'm stuck inside a script. My will is an illusion. There is no separation, I'm just a puppet in the play..i have no awareness of the puppeteer even though I am it as well. There is only me. But god has forsaken me just so that all the other imaginary people could continue to exist. I was a sacrificial lamb just so that this reality could go on. I had everything. I was happy but my happiness is gone forever...

    Yes, your will is an illusion because it is actually God's will, not yours. But this is partial truth. The other truth is your will is also real because you do have some control and can choose to do whatever you want. What matters is from your experience, you direct things. You chose to write this miserable, hopeless post and I chose to respond to it. Yes, God manipulated us to do it but it still felt as if we willed it. That's what matters, it feels as if we have independent control.

    I am exactly like the character in my game. I'm a strange loop. I'm art. I was not designed to have a beautiful life. I was designed for this purpose, to realize myself as a puppet and to experience the pain and suffering that comes with it. I have a miserable existence ahead of me.

    The good thing about predestination is if God willed it for you to be happy and peaceful in the later part of your life, it will happen regardless of your current miserable, hopeless situation. It can go both ways. It doesn't need to be always bad.

    But it doesn't really matter because what matters is what you choose. You can choose to continue doing it your way, which is to live and die miserably. You can also choose to love yourself and stand up for yourself until the end. If you must die, why not die standing up for yourself? Stop being a fool. 

    You have no right to complain if you haven't done your part (standing up for yourself for years, until the end).

    The process of attaining authentic self expression, which the psyche yearns for naturally, is sped up through conscious participation into the whole process until individuation is attained. Alongside this process, many people will want to have a lot of sex, make a bunch of money, build a network, travel the world etc in order to burn through karma and fulfill desires they didn’t have the chance to fulfill while lost in an unconscious existence possessed by their parental and cultural influences. And this, my friends, is truly burning thought karma in the most fundamental sense. The exhaustion of the individual ego through complete maturation of it. And through the process, sucking the world dry before transcending it. 

    Yes, it should be that way. It's a very long, painful process, at least 1 decade if you were extremely abused as a kid. But it's worth it. Rectifying your destroyed soul is always worth it and should be top priority.

    Within that process is also the start of your spiritual path (but it's not spiritual bypassing).

    And that neediness you displayed will not help you get girlfriends and sex. xD

    Financial success is step 1 to spiritual development. 

    Being on the forum overall does not contribute to financial success, it can even harm the process. There needs to be more incentive for productivity and purpose on the forum to improve our productivity or else its almost a unusually time drainer.

    We need to help each other get things done and actualize things into reality not idle idea exchanges. Put your ideas into practice needs to be the focus here.

    Surely. 

    And to go deeper and be frank, the best time to hang out on a forum such as this is when you already have gained various life experiences, wisdom, financial stability and has done years of serious internal work. Only then you can be interesting and of great value because your posts will be high quality and unique. 

    Anything else is mental-emotional masturbation or spiritual bypassing, and a waste of time.

    We need to do work that is top down (cognitive behaviours) and bottom up (Somatic Practice).

    Qigong can be used in part of a toolbox to do that work. But, for these types of issues it's a much deeper and complex process of healing. 

    Like, I find Qigong relaxing but I still have stresses and challenges that require direct experience, feeling, and facing those challenges through direct experience with consciousness. 

    Yes

    I wonder why your name is there. It was I who edited my post to make it more accurate. I don't think I violated any forum rule. I don't want this to happen again.

    What made you decide to study and then teach Qigong? 

    Your potential students are probably interested in knowing the answers to that question.
