trying to use reverse psychology?

It depends on what you have to do to get it

That is incorrect. It is the same spectrum To try to separate SD from LOC is dualistic. ( don't fall into 560-ish thinking) Only the names of the stages are changed stylistically

Yes, this is one of the devil's techniques

yes one of these views is delusional the other is not

Obviously Eckhart Tolle is 731 not 674

you can reach 1000 in temporary chemically enhanced states and then when it wears off go back to Loc 300-399

yes

Haṭha yoga and long distance running are examples

The enlightened person would beg for food and money Buddhist monks historically routinely beg for food on a daily basis called receiving "alms". Enlightened people are rare. Many intentionally try to reduce as much as possible attachments such as to a job, a house, a family and friends. The very things you mention are considered by some to be distraction in a pursuit of enlightenment

what about breathing techniques?

the opposite of fear is fearlessness

Is God Love and Hate Rolled into One?

please explain how believing in it or not believing it has any practical application

of course many are happy publicly

masturbation can be spiritual here's the proof: https://www.quantamagazine.org/computers-evolve-a-new-path-toward-human-intelligence-20191106/?utm_source=pocket-newtab additionally, many in this forum believe God encompasses All including evil - yet what are the consequences of this belief?

love ≠ reason I rest my case

Nice, what's the program? Did you compose and arrange this note for note?

Be careful of resorting to killing in order to protect, It often backfires If the word was governed by fruit flies you would be in jail for life and not be able to see your kids Nevertheless the way to get rid of fruit flies is to but some vinegar with a touch of syrup in it into a small clear container and then squeeze a drop of dish detergent on to the top of the liquid. Normally the fruit fly can land and take off again on the liquid because of surface tension but the detergent breaks that tension and they will sink For hatred, do two things, act soberly and legally to improve the general issue and do other unrelated positive things for yourself and child and remember people aren't flies even if they act that way. In some instances you may have to kill to protect. That should be the absolute last resort not made into a pledge.

I recommend you buy a book on "emotional intelligence " What is happening here with "yes" and "no" is nothing more than people changing their intentions from moment to moment in inconsistent ways depending on the person and circumstances. You are coming over to this philosophy forum which has many abstract conversations about paradoxes and people like to write things like up = down, you = god, happy = sad" this is just semantics, words games and if you take these games too seriously it will cause a state of confusion which can lead to mental illness. You were headed to the bathroom and asked somebody leaving the bathroom not to close the door but instead they closed it. Does this means when you ask a person to do one thing they will always do the opposite? No. I recommend you don't try to turn particular incidents with particular people into extreme philosophical issues. That will drive you crazy. You are in rehab and might be feeling powerless and feel even more powerless when you ask somebody to keep a door open and then they don't. Is everybody who you request do something going to not do it because you requested it? Does yes = no. No, yes means yes and no means no. A person you are dealing with might change their mind or choose to defy tour request. Or they might not have heard your request. Suppose the person heard you make the request and choose to defy you and do the opposite. Please do not turn that into some kind of rule about the universe. Some of the things people say in this forum are simply mental masturbation, They are things that if you tried to apply it to your life would drove you crazy. Abstract Philosophy is a luxury for when you are well. What you need now is to try to understand psychology and understand people's behavior and be able to react to it or not react to it in a practical effective way not one out of desperation and confusion. And if you can't understand a person's behavior just let it go. People act irrationally and badly all the time. But other people act kindly and helpful. Yet many people are a mix of both. The key is to become emotionally intelligent of other people's behavior, how to react or not react in a practical way and if they misbehave be able to let it go sometimes and deal with it effectively when the situation call for it. You may not have these interpersonal skills but if you find some people or books who are good at interacting with people and learn from this it will give you more stability and less confusion. But if you go to "big" philosophical discussions it will probably lead to more confusion and suffering because even the best minds go around in circles with questions that can never be answered. Deal with the small things first

Free will is the most pointless of pointless topics to discuss in my opinion

Lack of love is indifference Hate is an energy
