Interesting that Baruch Goldstein. a murderer who entered a mosque with machine guns and grenades and started killing everyone, his grave is a place of pilgrimage for many radicals. the security minister is one of them. The government of Israel is the Ku Klux Klan. wonderful. normal for this to happen

ben gvir, minister of national security: settler who usually resides in the West Bank occupied by the Zionist State of Israel, Ben Gvir has faced charges of inciting hatred against Arab citizens and is known to have had a portrait in the living room of his home of the terrorist and murderer in Israeli-American series Baruch Goldstein, who massacred 29 Palestinian Muslim worshipers and injured 125 people in Hebron, in the 1994 Cave of the Patriarchs massacre. Ben Gvir allegedly removed the portrait after entering politics Nice, right?

Just because you haven't seen it doesn't mean it isn't happening all time in the middle east, the thing is that no one cares.

Of course, for the Muslim world, Muslims are their team and whatever they do they support them. They are...well, not too smart, that's why they have Islamic governments and if a woman goes without a hood they kill her and stuff, we already know that. But Israel is demonstrating quite a bit of evil. I guess it's normal, it's how the world works. But if we value who is on the good side on a moral level, we must delve deeper into Israel's attitude, and one could say that it is the attitude of a covert enemy with which the Palestinians live. an enemy that carries out covert acts of war, that abuses and kills, but little by little, without being noticed.

It cannot because it depends on public opinion and its ally the US. What it does is provoke them. In the West Bank it expands little by little, sending radical settlers supported by the police and the army to live with the Palestinians, simple people attached to the land who are displaced. Gaza, well... it seems that it promoted Hamas, and this attack is incredible. Egypt warned them, they already knew it, and the most effective army in the world did not have even a few soldiers guarding it. no one, not even a camera. less than any merchant in his warehouse. who believes that?

Everyone is neurotic deep down, what happens is that they cover their neurosis with the appearance of a life full of content. Take away their content and they will go crazy. It is very difficult to transcend the neurosis that it means to be human

Your post from May is very interesting (I don't understand how you can remember a post from May by the way, congratulations) but there is something that I don't completely understand. I understand what you are saying about the total dissolution of the self that wants to understand. My experience is exactly that, the fall of the self into nothingness, but this is precisely where I see the problem: nothingness. nothingness is a limited realization. Truly nothing does not exist, it is impossible, since without limits nothing ceases to be nothing, it is everything. If when we talk about nothing we are referring to the absence of structure, then yes, since the self is structure and center. The fall of the self is the dissolution of the illusion of a center, recipient of experience, reality is impersonal, it is a natural phenomenon, not someone. Performing the action of dropping the self is extremely difficult, since it is the self that performs it. It is unthinkable because thinking is structure, now I am trying to think about it and I know it is impossible, but what remains evident is the impossibility of emptiness. The void is limited, because if it extends without limit, it contains everything.

That is a clear sign that something serious is happening to you. you should seek help

I will check That's what it seems on the surface, but the reality is that the US presses until the rope breaks, see for example Oliver Stone's documentary Ukraine in Flames. It is true that he is a very biased guy, but still.

That's true. I'm trying to understand US foreign policy, but it's difficult. It seems stupid but probably it is most likely a search for profit and influence. the same in ukraine, very difficult to understand

@Nabd Yes, but after the first war Iraq did not was a threat, much less than Iran today, and even so it was invaded without any apparent benefit for the US, only problems and imbalance in the are. It doesn't seem like there was a sufficient reason for something as serious as that invasion. Is it possible that it was just stupidity mixed with the ambitions of the weapons manufacturers?

Why US had this objective? It seems that it was something arbitrary, although it surely was not like that.

It depends, many Iraqis are happy that Saddam was overthrown. The Taliban regime can hardly be worse, it is like a dystopia. Unfortunately the Afghans were unable to establish a solid government and returned as soon as the United States left.

Quite short, What is difficult, or impossible, is to keep a country occupied for decades. but the two regimes fell very quickly.

foreign policy of the US and NATO in general is very difficult to understand. I suppose the reality is that there is only one motivation: economic benefit. any other consideration is irrelevant

Yeah you have to be able to decide when everything is done and relax, even in great danger, but not before exhausting all possibilities

I think the word "enlightened" is something else. something for example like one of those guys in India who is sitting staring into space, drooling, his entire being a total openness to the essence of reality, to the limitless wild glory that existence is. a guy without any resistance, practically transparent, with almost nothing human, indifferent to life and death, incapable of articulating a structured thought, who would die of hunger if he was not fed. What we try is to have a 1% openness to be able to function as humans without falling into the neurosis of attachment to mental structures. May be with meditation and psychedelics we achieve fleeting openings that leave us with a big smile and get us used to being able to face naked existence without terror.

If that is the meaning of worrying for you, then okay, but being obsessed with a problem for a few days means that all your processing capacity is dedicated to it and with that the possibilities of a solution increase. You just have to know how to stop when you've done everything possible, but many people are very lazy and stop worrying before their time because it's more comfortable to live without that shit on your mind, that way you can dedicate yourself to the things you like, and then shit falls on them

I think self deception is a misconception. That story of: I am God but I deceive myself to have a fun experience seems completely wrong to me. This is not how reality works, God is not a guy who gets bored and does fun things, he is a primordial force, he is the result of the absence of limits that makes the infinite, and manifests in infinite cycles of existence. There is no self-deception, there is limitation due to the need to focus on the concrete. Spirituality is defocusing on the concrete, opening up to the formless.

Most people do not function like robots, in a Google office with a ball pool, calmly addressing conflicts, but rather we function on impulses, and worry is an impulse that must be listened to. Worry is approaching a situation from a negative point of view, that is, out of fear that something you don't want will happen. If you have a business and you are worried about being robbed for example, you obsessively search for a solution. If there is no worries, you normally react weakly, late and poorly.

You don't think there will be war and that the United States will change the Iranian regime? I'm sure it would be a very short war. Iranians hate their regime

They are united by a common adversary. Russia tries to survive and rise, the same as everyone else, and reaches out to whoever suits it. but I don't think Russia would help Iran in case of war

@Nabd I suppose they know how far they can go without the United States and Israel attack them. If they are close to having nuclear weapons they will be bombed

@Nabd What do you think are Iran's real strategic objectives? It's something mysterious to me

Worry is a useful tool. Obsessively focusing on a problem is the prelude to creative solutions.
