It seems so, but the misinformation is total. what it seems is that usa was arming ukraine, and that once in nato it would arm it much more, placing nukes on the russian border, laboratories, etc, and that the ukraine's attempt to recover krimea would be sure. A threat. Imagine the opposite scenario, México in the Warsaw pact, with nukes, wanting to take back California, to put an example. it seems that it was something known and obvious to american strategists that the moment ukraine was going to join nato russia would act. The USA sees its position weakening, the countries of the East are pushing, it needs a conflict, and this is perfect because it is fought by others. That's what it looks like, but maybe it's not. Very difficult to understand

True, but then things do not turn out according to the calculations. Putin knew perfectly well that he was being pushed and decided to invade. Is he stupid, or did he do his calculations and thought he would benefit? It doesn't seem like it's stupid. Now his army is the best trained in the world, he just has to win. eu is much stronger, yes, but killing Saddam was not easy. and you can't launch operation desert storm in russia as they respond with 1000 nukes. you have to walk in with rifles. I hope you're right and it turns out well to USA, because although it has its flaws, it's another dimension. the others are darkness, a step back.

Yes, maybe you are right, but let's see how the play turns out in the end. Russia will remain as the world military power. no one else dares to send their soldiers to the real war. maybe china, but ustates? impossible. a few dead perhaps, a hundred thousand, never. Russia will also appear as a solid partner, which credibility. china, india and others are getting closer and closer. America appears as fickle, unstable, crazy, manipulative and treacherous. Being an ally of the USA is very risky and uncertain. We'll see how Ukraine finish. Russia only has to do one thing: stand firm, not give in. He has human resources and mentality for that. and the endorsement of atomic destruction, completely believable once you send 200 thousand young people to their deaths. suddenly the balance of forces can change completely. the weak and comfortable westerners, rich and decadent, who chain one crazy president after another, and the solid and emerging easterners, the coming force. not very beautiful, the truth, but it is what it is.

life is a puzzle, what seems misfortune is luck, what seems luck, a dead end. everything limited is unsatisfactory. solving the puzzle is breaking the limits. it is better to be a leper in misery who has broken the limits than elon musk or any other king. everything is a game in the end, but hardly anyone notices and they don't start playing it, so they stay in phase 1 forever. We who know it, should play thoroughly, to the maximum.

Yeah, seems so

In what? Thinking about that, maybe it's the blue who hates homosexuality. Before blue, doesn't matter, after blue, getting more tolerant. But I'd say that in Asia they are more tolerant in all stages. Well, really i don't know , there is not a pattern

It's not the race, it's the culture. Pre-colonization Africans practiced homosexuality in some cases quite openly, with colonization came the myth that homosexuality was brought by whites and that Africans are not homosexual. in other ancient cultures it was allowed, in others it was not...it depends, i don't know about what

It's a change of angle. you stop perceiving yourself as a trajectory to perceive yourself as depth. you realize that you are now, eternally. the things that arise, arise in the now, so in you, and not the other way around, what would it be that the now evolves according to the emergences that are happening and you are created by those arises. the now does not evolve, it is always the same, and it is unlimited. It is, and you are that. Being is the first order, happening is second order.

Yes, here It seems that this is the objective of spirituality: to have insights in order to later conceptualize them and create a new and better frame of mind. that doesn't make sense, you're still separated from yourself, suffering. Imo the idea is to use those insights to let go, to be without the need for a frame of mind.

@Holykael Stopping to be compulsive in action and thoughts, all time looking forward, remembering, interpreting, judging. Be here and now, as empty as is possible. Stop believing what your thoughts say, and be able to be here without messing everything up with your need to grab hold of mental assistants. open yourself to the now, to the truth.

2,5 years doing psychedelic quite often, meditation and deconstruction full time. Wishing to penetrate into reality

Yes, because you can't go to the void, since if you are there, it's not void anymore, that's why the void doesn't exist

Africans in general hate homosexuality, Christians as well as Muslims. African sexuality is difficult to understand, on the one hand they are very liberal and everyone fucks, and on the other, they take it for granted that homosexuals do not exist, in Africa there are none, according to them. On the other hand, for example, in the Philippines they are very conservative and Catholic, but they don't care about the gay issue, it seems to them like something fun and unimportant.

Russia did not attack them to steal, they attacked to maintain their position of power, so as not to huddle in a corner crying. I do not justify Russia, communism seems to me a disgrace and I understand that all the satellite countries want to be as far away from Russia as possible, but reality is what it is. expanding nato to his home is aggression. Maybe you don't think so, but Russia does, that's the question, and america knew that.

they were already in the west, they already had freedom, they could do whatever they wanted. But why the NATO? the soviet union no longer exists. a war to escape the shit from the soviet union, ok, but this doesn't make the slightest bit of sense

I am not saying that Russia has the right to invade, I am saying that the history of the 20th century is what it is, and the 3rd world war was close. things relaxed naturally, little by little. So you go and push. as soon as you see that the historical enemy is weak, you come to touch his balls where 3 days ago he was the king. Well, it seems that it is a need that you have, to press and touch the balls. so that everyone can see that what was a power 20 years ago is now nothing, that it can be surrounded and threatened, that it no longer bites. very intelligent, a prodigy of intelligence. biden came to power and two days later he was already saying that putin is a murderer, that ukraine, whose president had in his electoral program to recover crimea, and where it's a civil war with the Russian involved, and with historical relationship with Russia, was going to be a member of nato. always looking for fight and tension as a political and electoral tool. always trying to crush and humiliate. Well, the play didn't go very well. But it doesn't matter, what will remain as a piece of land without a building is Ukraine, not the United States, and no American will die there. Good thing the Ukrainians have their heroic actor, who will lead them to total war to defend their pride. In my opinion, is a disaster and USA showed again that is unstable, stupid, incompetent, dangerous, in international politics

Good scheme. Yes, the philosophy derived from real realizations can have value and help the mind to open itself to the truth But it's important to recognize it as philosophy and not confuse it with the truth

Yes, great danger, and we have all fallen into it at one point. How many use the word god, infinity, love, really thinking that it is something that they have directly realized, but the reality is that they have absorbed the concept and have made it their own, deceiving themselves? You have to be very honest with yourself in this work. Being able to eliminate everything you have learned from your mind and be left alone with what you have seen, and not with that either, but with what you are seeing. spirituality is now. yesterday's realization is nothing, just a help to be open now. spirituality is an energetic flow, an opening, not knowing things, or remember things.

Yes, not just the word but the spirituality itself. Yeah, agree.

reading the op's message the problem of psychedelics manifests itself: conceptualization. So, suppose the op had a, shall we say, mystical experience. a temporary opening to the absolute. then the opening ends. then the op, again from the dual, relative and limited mind, elaborates a dual, relative and limited scheme of reality. and goes round and round about it, not realizing that doing this is completely meaningless. awakening is the opening, not the "content." the content is imaginary, the opening is real. all that about god, i'm alone, i'm creating this, since i'm bored, and i'm doing it for this, it's equivalent to reciting the quran in arabic, or reading the phone book. the question is: is there an opening, or is there a veil? if there is a veil, be perceptive enough not to take seriously what the mind recites in the slightest. better take a good version of the quran in ancient arabic, and recite it, or a rosary. the mind is only useful for one thing, to identify what closes, what is the obstacle, and thus overcome it. creating reality schemes is nonsense, because are lie, the truth is open and is now. If you can't see it now, don't try to construct it with lies, is stupid

Spirituality is zero conceptual. Is open yourself and merge with the absolute. To break the barrier that keep you imprisoned in the relative. It's more an action than an contemplation. Is to see, not to think, is to erase the veil of the limitation and have an infinite sight. It's to remove all the blockages, all the mental barriers, and become diaphanous, without obstacles, open, fluid, without resistance.

Spirituality is practical, philosophy is theoretical. Or in another words, spirituality is to realize the truth, philosophy to get lost in the mind

your approach is wrong because you are looking outside. outside does not exist, it is an illusion. you have to look inside. everything is inside. as long as you look out, you will be trapped in duality. first realize that everything is inside. then realize that everything is now. Then realize that there are no limits. but you cannot realize it mentally, you have to see it, become it. it is extremely difficult, since everything seems exactly the opposite.

@Holykael You complain of God a lot but you should thank that your father found that lsd, or with your attitude, you would have visited hell. you can't do lsd or mushrooms. but I really recommend 5meo dmt. you can do lsd after you've gotten open to 5meo. It will cost you time, two years maybe. 5meo will guide you, it will show you where you should clean, how to purify your mind. Why not to try? Or your plan is stay in this attitude for ever?

Since you invent a particular religion, you could invent a slightly happier one. None of the two will make less sense, but since you invent...
