  1. Yep. They are conservative, but they don't hate LGBT people either. Most just feel that it's a weird kind of thing not to be talked about in public, just like sex. Some trans people groups forcefully asking for money in public places and abusing people if they don't pay also spoils the image of all LGBT people.
  2. But I believe marriage unions will be legalized far sooner than that.
  3. Or we can cheer that the days are getting brighter and brighter every day!
  4. Without those survival traits, you wouldn't be having a body right now that can live for around 70 years, wouldn't have different senses to take in the relative beauty of the world,wouldn't be able to experience almost infinite variety of things and store it in your memory all these years, and wouldn't forget everything and immerse yourself in this specific variety of life and the list goes on. Being grateful for all of these things will make your life better.
  5. They are not. They are capable of unconditional love, compassion, gratitude, forgiveness etc. It's just that these characters got buried deep within because of the environment and the survival characters are reigning now. You can recognise that these survival traits won't serve the purpose of finding them true happiness,peace and bliss, and be compassionate towards them for not being able to recognise it. Compassion is one extension of love. The main purpose of Spirituality is to awaken such people, from their deep programming due to survival needs.
  6. For the survival of his clan, in other words.
  7. No matter past lives are real or it's just a dream, believing in it serves an important purpose: to find a reason for our suffering and accepting it wholeheartedly without hatred towards God.
  8. Enquire why this feeling of expectations arise. It could very well be another tool for survival, so that you can become better and better at survival. So that you can improve yourself and people around you to adopt better means to improve life. It already served most of its purpose by improving chances of survival to a great extent. Realise that you already have good chances of survival without need for further expectations, and you already have all the tools and senses to experience life without fear of dying soon. Now let go of the desire for new expectations with the help of this newfound knowledge.
  9. Being compassionate that all the bad traits you mentioned came into existence as tools for survival by nature and the individual selves are not responsible for it can help to love them more.
  10. No issues! I solve this problem my posting it with the errors, then hiding that post and creating a new post after copying the content. True. The only way to escape the forces is to become light. Provided that you don't fall straight into a black hole!
  11. So gravity is simply objects attracting each other instead of falling on each other? Also I heard there is no place in space where gravity is absolutely zero.
  12. Because everything that goes up ( or sideways) has to come down?
  13. As long as we don't remember them, it doesn't matter personally. But as a belief though, it matters a lot.
  14. Religions help in the sense that they give faith and hope in difficult times and also not view everything around them through a scientific lens.
  15. Sounds like a good idea, especially when Rts genre is stagnant without any new ideas. My only advice would be to make it as fun as possible even if it means giving less importance to be accurate in terms of the spiral dynamics mechanics!
  16. I still remember a few dreams from my childhood even though I forgot most of my childhood life. One was going to a house in the sky and accidentally falling from there straight into my bed. Another one was a poster turning into a real life character and chasing me in the night.
  17. A more apt word for Love which could be understood by all easily is 'Acceptance'.
  18. The problem with saying "Everything is God" is that different people define God differently.
  19. Sufism is interesting and closer in touch with Spirituality, but unfortunately it's not getting the necessary attention in the Islam world the same way as Hindus nowadays leaning towards materialistic superstitions instead of the core spiritual concepts Hinduism was supposed to teach.
  20. When it comes to Spirituality, ego is the main obstacle. Whenever we learn some new insight through some Spiritual practice or other means, it pulls us one step up, but when you see down from there and think you are above others, the whole staircase moves two steps distance down. This section is all about Spirituality, so if you want to do something good for the people here, hurt their ego as much as possible, so that the entire staircase moves upwards, but make sure your staircase is not moving down in that process.
  21. In India, devotion to God in some form ( which started with bhakti movement in my state) was established as the primary driver of Hinduism, since common people with no exposure to spirituality found it difficult to follow Hinduism and also to fight caste discrimination. Instead of the traditional meditative or ascetic means for Enlightenment, the movement proposed divine love for a god of choice as an effective method. In these periods, praise of different gods took mainstage instead of scriptures with deep or difficult to decipher meanings. It was also considered as a movement to control the spread of Islam ironically.
  22. Good, it sounds like couch surfing with added bonuses. Great! I would suggest you to visit Kerala as well to get a taste of greenery.( but make sure you research the places whether it's the right time to visit though, since there are many hills and some places have lots of rain). Nepal is a great choice to be one with nature, with the mighty Himalayas!
  23. But does the quantity of gods really matter? I have been taught a poem by Kambar during my school days which roughly translates into " If you say, God is one. God is one. If you say God is many, God is many. If you say God is none, God is none. If say God exists, God exists. If you say God is something, God is something. If you say God is everything, God is everything. God exists based on our beliefs. If we understand that, life will be better." I believe it applies to all faith.
  24. By the way, where are you planning to start your tour? I believe you told it's from South, but we Indians don't consider Goa to be a South city.
