I guess this is how one does serious philosophy. -

If you investigate those emotions you listed love is the common denominator. We hate because we love something else that conflicts with the thing hated. We're sad because we love the opposite of what made us sad. We laugh because we love what made us laugh etc. I think her post makes a lot of sense. -
You have so many limiting beliefs. Please don't infect others with them. You ask about books all the time but maybe start to educate yourself about the nature of Reality and how the Universe works. How the mind works and how we have the power to change our circumstances. There's no outside world and it's all within us. It's all energetic and your emotions are energy in motion and the Universe is adapting to you depending on your state of being. Don't focus on the outside world look within. There's no escaping the rat race is simply a belief. You will say you were born in a Thirld World country and how things are and so on and do forth. Doesn't matter. The Universe is unlimited and there are infinite potentials and possibilities.

How does one function with no mind. If I want to go get a glass of water, first I have that thought. Then I act on it. If I want to set my alarm, first the thought appears in the mind then the body moves into action. Doesn't actions follow thought (mind)? Writing this required thought and processes of the mind. To write a book, to make a speech, to interact with people, to think about what to do next. All requires mind and thought. Make me understand no mind, please. -

No doubt; so is that joy and excitement. Why single one out, can't have one without the other. -

Yes, I'm aware of this and I also expected to get a response like this from someone. Yet another way how we find ways to keep this suffering energy alive. If I'm suffering God knows what and I'm in a bar drinking and having fun and ilm not suffering anymore in that moment, then I go home to sleep and wake up suffering again, isn't that self-inflicted. I'm not undermining people's suffering, because I've been there, but what is suffering, really. If we ruminate about the bad things happening in the world and feel bad because of it, is that suffering. If we're unhappy about our living arrangements and is constantly sad because of it, is that suffering. If we think about the starving kids and we feel their pain is that suffering. What the hell is suffering. What is your question? Why is there actual suffering existing in God's plan. Did God tell you personally that he introduced/created suffering in his plan. When did he tell you this. Did God write a plan. Is the plan in motion or is it all done. Is happiness also in this plan. What plan. What is God's plan suppose to achieve. Having a plan means there's something striving for. There's no time and space existentially, is God's plan instantaneous. That doesn't sound like a plan. Why are we creating our own God. Our idea of God. Where did you get the idea that God wants us to suffer. Isn't taking a dump shitty. Who says, ooh I'm looking forward to this dump. The smell is horrible, the body has to go through pushing and the butthole goes through tremendous wear and tear if the person is constipated. Isn't that a lot of suffering. When it's done, and constipation is cured in the moment, do we go out and write a book about how we suffered during that constipation. No, we move on. You might say, well, constipation doesn't come close to the horrors of my suffering it doesn't compare to real suffering in life. Whose making that distinction. We know the mind makes distinctions, it puts things into categories and sees separation. So the mind is making the distinction between constipation suffering and the fact that you lost your home suffering. The mind, the mind, the mind, the mind, the mind. Some suffering is ok, some not so bad, some terrible. You say one that hasn't had TRUE HORRORS won't understand. What is a true horror. A family massacre that one has to witness or a stranded vehicle in the middle of the most dangerous city in the world or getting stabbed. Who decides what is a true horror. Are there false horrors. Is the mind categorizing again. Isn't that all relative. Relative to an individual that created itself with a bunch of stories, memories and knowledge called the ego. An ego that doesn't really exist because, as we say, only God exists. When you watch a horror movie, do you curse God then. We pay money to go see horrors but when the horror is happening to us, we bitch and complain. Then we say the Universe is a hologram, and it's all inside of us and the rest of Spiritual woo woo, but when it comes to suffering, we have a problem and start to curse God and we start to compare our sufferings and say you wouldn't understand because you haven't been there. Don't bring God into your duality because in God there's no separation. -
There's no actual person here. We're all a figment of your imagination. Now, that'll make for a great impermanent monologue.

Ever notice the concept of suffering has been around for eons in the spiritual community. Everywhere you turn it's there; someone mentions the word. You would think by now I'd be seeing a bunch of crying people on the street, in nightclubs, bars, churches, supermarkets and everywhere. You'd think it would make the top headlines in the news. Suffering, suffering, suffering, suffering, suffering and more suffering. I suffer every time I see the word suffering. Yet, hear me now, yet people are still in bars all across the world drinking their heads away, people are still going to night clubs, partying, going to their favorite restaurants, going to bingo, golfing, watching Olympics, betting on Sports games, traveling, donkey riding, having sex, looking to get laid, shopping, masturbating, going to comedy shows, parks, going on roller coasters, by the beach every summer, camping, ski-diving, skiing, going to the zoo, playing World of Warcraft, Solitaire, Mahjong, Spades, drinking 40's in the hood, shooting each other, gossiping......need I go on.....doing all these physical stuff while suffering. Not to mention hanging out on Spiritual forums. I wonder if people are just suffering their own thoughts. -
Ok

Does deleting an item actually delete it from the actual thread it was posted in?
-
Not for this forum. Let me go start a solipsism thread and you'll see. Then I'll start another one when that dies down, then another one for a month, it'll just keep going.
-
Yeah, some want to eliminate and some want to get back. Getting back is usually harder but nothing is impossible so it's doable. The jesus cigarette guy (you remember that thread), oh my I saw that ban coming. I even said it, just keep him talking, he'll eliminate himself, and sure enough.
-
Update: I did check but didn't see where to change it. I guess you can't. The daily MB I mean. It doesn't matter, but at least i can check to see when I'm reaching my limit.
-
Oh ok, didn't know that. Probably won't need to anyway, don't need to talk on here everyday all day. If I find the need to have to do that, I'll just shut up. Me: Heading over to My Profile/My attachments

This is how I do it. At first it wasn't done intentionally but as I started to see how magical the Universe is, this never ceases to amaze me. Maybe with a close friend, it might take a little more tact but what I do is, in my mind, will them away. Just start saying to yourself you don't want them in your life anymore. Not even, just don't pay attention to them. Don't focus your thoughts on them but at the same time don't judge them or speak ill of them. I remember not too long ago on the forum there was a nuisance new member. They had an avatar with jesus smoking a cigarette. Another member requested for them to be banned because of it and felt they were mocking Jesus and it was disrespectful. They didn't get banned right away and the thread became hot with this jesus member throwing insults. I said, nothing needs to be done, just keep them talking. 10mins later he was banned. Sometimes people eliminate themselves or the Universe eliminate people from your life without you lifting a finger. You can will people away with your thoughts and intention. I have done it many times to the point there's no one left....just kidding, but seriously, it works.

You can set your own limits somewhere in settings?

People are operating off of a program; and unfortunately, most people have been programmed to be consumers and are hypnotized by the matrix. Some of them aren't happy with their lifestyle choices but are unaware that there's a program running in the background that's causing their laziness, overeating, bad habits etc. The one's that say they're happy with their lives even when it's toxic and filled with what you've mentioned are just used to it and comfortable with the known. Same emotions, same thought patterns, same food, same entertainment, same company etcetc. It's what they're used to and the mind sometimes finds comfort in that. Deep suffering sometimes is the catalyst for change and improvement. Most people are just coasting through life and knumb themselves with distractions which are plenty.

These things are personal and private. You're defeating the purpose by making it a community challenge. One has to be ready, willing and prepared for these types of challenges. Asking people to join you in a solitude on demand is like getting locked up without prior notice. Imagine someone taking your smart phone and throwing you in a room when you least expect it. Go ahead and do your thing. People make these types of choices on their own when they feel the need to.

When it happened to me the first time, I thought I was banned. Tried to message a mod to find out what happened and I couldn't send pm's either. I was cursing the forum out saying "I don't need this shit". Good thing I couldn't send the pm cause I probably would have definitely been banned then. Haha. No, but I was like wtf is this, then I caught on the next time it happened.....and the next time....and the next time...and the next...let me stop and save my talk time before the next time spews.

It's the ones with no life that usually makes these types of comments...hehe😜

Happens to me all the time with my blabbermouth. I think Leo said once it's the way the system is set up and he didn't personally do it, not sure. Every post will just have a bookmark option; just like what you see when a post has been locked. Have to wait till next day or at best a lot of hours to be able to post again. Must have been your first time making comments all day.
