Anyone familiar with ego-maniacs who use drugs know that Elon tweets after taking something (cocaine, molly or ketamine). He’s high as shit all the time.

Hilarious how we all predicted this ages ago. It’s not possible to maintain alliances when you are a deeply corrupt ego-maniac. I really hope when people sober up form what they have unleashed that we start to prosecute these guys.

Oh yeah I definitely agree clearing the belief system is the number one thing you have to do to make your life better. There are some things we simply can’t control in life or just are out of our grasp in the present moment (example: finances, living situation, politics, world events) but then the beliefs and how we see that determines how we navigate the changing unknown. OP would greatly benefit from examining his belief system and really learning to strengthen relationship with themself. I see a lot of self judgment, and a belief of inadequacy and a belief about an inability to cope. They see themselves as a victim while I don’t. I am challenging that. I don’t believe that is true about OP. OP is unique, no one else in the universe like them, and there is a wellspring of peace and wisdom within which we can nurture and call upon during hard times. They have intrinsic value just for existing and for being created by god, coming from the Tao, whatever you want to call it. That’s what’s most important. Realizing you are human and valuable as you are can get you out of the toughest life situations.

This is the reason why Leo’s teaching is kinda shit and not really applicable for most people. His wording / framing / and application doesn’t match your lived experience one bit. Spiritual bypassing / emptiness sickness. You are a human, don’t forget that. Facing life one day at a time and it’s fucking hard and I definitely see that. You have a unique experience and spirituality that is 100% unique to you and it’s not better or worse than anyone else’s. The wording “You are god” is just yapping you’ve read on this forum. It’s not to be confused with actual truth which can never be contained or expressed with words and it definitely means a whole lot more than any one of us believes here. You connecting to your spirt, true value, “god”, (whatever you wish to call it) is important because there is no one else like you and there is a radiating value that is so special about you that it is not fair to compare it to anyone else or let situations in the world or your life define it. Even through hard experiences. You are human, don’t forget that as well. You’re living life like all of us and it can be damn hard sometimes.

I don't see a difference in how you describe the USA as a profit seeking company vs defending it's values. The USA has always played big table bully and looked to maximize itself over other countries. I believe it has worked in good faith before to maximize gains through partnerships but it has always been in competition with other States that have different values and in a sense has always been quite selfish and maximizing, this is how states operate as they compete with one another. They have a narrative about spreading American values but that has always been flawed and not perfect. Russia and China say the same things as they look to dominate their neighbors, they aren't exactly different. I am with you on seeing through the guise the USA uses to justify it's actions but I'm not sure why you flipped to their opposition. Russia and China do the same thing and I wouldn't describe them as more honest.

I think wording is important. You frame it as escape. Why? Your set up makes it sound something inflicted upon you. Have you considered what you want to escape is your own creation and ease and wellbeing is always here, always now if you can allow yourself to navigate out of the fog? Be honest with yourself. What is going on in your life? What do you believe about yourself and your life?

Conservatism is largely a fear based belief system. People face issues in their life that they don’t like and take a toll on them. So they choose to close down. They this then resonate more with right wing politicians hoping for the good old days or someone to blame for their problems.

Israel

I just wonder when the US public will rise up and total defund Israel.

It’s silly to remotely trust Russia / China and get behind them in any capacity or put them over the west. They most definitely aren’t leading in well-being either. People seem to forgot they are totalitarian regimes with a lower standard of living for a large amount of their citizens and little rule of law, human rights, for many years. Thing is the USA and Europe have greatly decayed and are sliding into authoritarian patterns as well. It’s a stupid pissing contents to even argue how one country is better than the other since both have issues. It’s just more stark in contrast for the west because these countries actually were much better at one point but have seriously declined. It’s a talking point and something RT pundits can spin cause for decades Russia and China were slums, and now the USA has caught up in this department so it’s much more stark. Russia and China haven’t caught up, the USA and Europe have fallen behind. There aren’t really any winners here with either one much ahead of the other. Pick your poison. All conflicts like this are going to lead to a decline in life for everyone, with some suffering worse, and others “winning” but in a worse situation than they were before the conflict. The great powers stand little to gain even if they win a war. Russia is fighting so it doesn’t politically collapse either. It is not particularly stronger from this war.

Same people said Ukraine won’t survive a week… Now over three years later they still parrot Kremlin crap about an eventual Ukraine collapse. Load of shit. Stop parroting kremlin talking points and think critically. The Russian population doesn’t support the war by 90%. Maybe in spirit but actually in effort there is tremendous shirking and corruption and the average person does not put 90% effort into the conflict. They look for ways to avoid taxes and hide their money. Russia cleaned up their act and aren’t just burning through their resources anymore, and they are able to sustain their efforts, but they are paying major costs for this and while Russia can’t be driven out from Ukraine the border has barley moved in 2 years… this is not some major win for Russia. Their brain is drained. Their country is not richer and their border has more NATO along it. It’s like winning a war that isolates you and makes your population poorer than before. It’s then trying to spin it. Life in Russia is not nicer nor is Russia stronger. They took land from a country in a war a fraction of their size. If USA gets a hard line dem in, they could see this war start up again.

Russia

Yeah but this guy was just doing weird stuff for attention. But it goes to show if you are just a socially adjusted guy with warm energy you can do ridiculous stuff like this and some girls will find it funny and be attracted to you. Hell, there’s guys in prison who met their wife while locked up. You literally can be a killer and get laid. It doesn’t even have to make sense.

It is irresponsible. A lot of people who run retreats have a bodily system that can handle large amounts of psychedelics and they don’t consider that it may be different depending on the person. Little care or oversight or regulation. There is a large amount of group think that goes along with a profession like that as well. They think they are supposed to deliver people and they achieve some sense of this for themselves by giving large doses. “The gringos like the light show” as the shaman says. Dose yourself slowly and very carefully with consideration from many sources of information on how to do so.

Disgusting.

I’ve reflected on this and I do think it turned into a witch hunt. Of course Harvey is corrupt and of course he was using his powers to exploit. He was a creepy manipulator and sexual abuser but you can’t tell me many of the women in Hollywood also were corrupt and sacrificed themselves working with him. Gwenyth did 11 more movies with him after the dates she claims he tried to abuse her. He definitely did this stuff but it seems kinda strange many of his apparent victims were fine with it if it meant getting a raise in Hollywood.

The “AI destroying humanity” crowd that fantasizes about it like the Terminator (Elon Musk) are mostly people looking for attention or saying ridiculous things. It’s clear as day AI in reality will cause issues by putting people out of work and further fueling wealth inequality, corruption and making it easier to scam people and lie to people. Notice how tech entrepreneurs don’t mention or talk about these problems as much because this is what actually poses a risk to their status and finances? That’s the real danger for society. Addressing wealth inequality. But these tech influencers like Elon think Arnold is coming…. Wildly out of touch.

You put one man on an island with ten women, you got ten babies. You put one woman on an island with ten men you have one baby and a whole lot of chaos.

Doubt this will fly with mine

I scrolled on tinder in my relationship and my girlfriend found out and it really was hurtful to her and I don’t do it anymore. I don’t need to go on a podcast and bring spirituality into this shit. Men love having lots of women, it’s that simple.

I actually think what he is doing is fine as a man. I think men can take more lovers while it is not suited for a woman to. Thing is women are very clingy and protective of their men. If you are a man and can pull it off cool, I’m jealous and want that too. But I don’t wanna wrap it up in new age stuff. Men want lots of beautiful women even if they are married. It’s quite simple for us. It’s mostly just for sex. It’s nice to have lots of women. Love one and have others for fun or love a bit too but be with one as the ride or die.

Yes yes I agree. Can be challenging letting go of someone you love that wants something different though, but who else to choose but oneself.

He’s not fooling me.

As someone who aligns with leftist world views when it comes to voting, the issue with the world view is that they confuse their aspirations for how things should be vs how they actually are. There is a subtle dishonesty to holding onto beliefs about how the world should be vs accepting the world as it is. It’s pretty simple but this one little thing creates the issues found in the leftist world view.

Thing is though unchecked male desire can take its tole on having a loving partnership. It can be a difficult balance to strike. Male mating strategy is to mate with as many women as possible and I believe men are much better suited for this and it’s much more natural for a man to do this than a woman, but it will eventually come at the expense of a stable union between the two. Hence why it’s best to keep the mistress on the down low and just be so good at being a man your wife won’t leave you. Issue is this is dishonest and mentally will take its tole. I don’t recommend it. I think in the end we need to make peace with monogamy if we want a woman to grow old with.
