Imagine Alex Jones and them going to the Amazon rainforest, to catch some gullible westerners for their "movement"

So why do you think getting out of the wheel of life is "worshipped" since this world generally is so beautiful?

well yea i certainly hope so

I think what he means is getting out of the wheel of re-incarnation is "worshipped" and kind of the goal, which a lot of eastern traditions are trying to do.

You don't know that yet, you haven't died or don't remember how it was. But i agree that i generally also wouldn't mind getting re-incarnated a lot (millions?) more as far as i know and "life is suffering" is a bit a problematic statement, the teaching is probably deeper, i don't know. But imo there's a lot of suffering but there's equal or more pleasure than suffering generally, depends how easily you can derive pleasure, but by just being in nature, looking at trees etc.

yea i think karma might not be very nice to them at some point they exported a lot of extremism, wahabism to other countries etc. driving golden cars and throwing money away while their neighbours are dying of hunger beheading as a capital punishment executing women for witchcraft bullying yemen, bombing civilians etc.

what about the lobbies which have a huge influence? wall street? Chomsky: In the US, there is basically one party - the business party. It has two factions, called Democrats and Republicans, which are somewhat different but carry out variations on the same policies. By and large, I am opposed to those policies. As is most of the population.

how is that simple? that's not going to happen yea on of them is ^^ the other not

i'm not watching the video, the picture is already enough and it makes me feel/think how can "western" countries sell weapons and do business with a country which wages such an inhumane war on its neighbouring country. all that just for money and geopolitics? they probably just use that conflict as a testing ground for their army and weapons to get some experience. sad. put sanctions on them or f you

i barely know anything about qanon, but i guess a many of the people who are following it are some kind of "truth seekers"

he would teach people the "path" and they'd give him sandwiches and liquids

if nothing happens you should be fined for spreading such bs why not, could be fun, buy some chickpeas etc. just don't become obsessive about it.

noiceee i'm jealous, well i wish it was women knocking not men, but i'd take it

this is exciting, i really wonder how all of this will turn out the pandemic, the vaccination, the economy, people rioting, division

I think in really poor countries, having many children is also a kind of "old age insurance" and the chances are bigger that one of them "makes it" also still high rates of child deaths, diseases like ebola etc.

it would be interesting if there are for example more "only childs" etc. in "seekers"

this might sound horrible but maybe it would be better if people in poor countries had fewer children. i get why they want so many children though and contraception is a huge issue in these places.

Why couldn't we connect with them? Ultimately we're all made out of atoms, quarks etc. nah? I already know your answer "That's just an illusion, consciousness is dreaming up quarks etc." alright

Does it give the US a huge advantage over China? Do more creative countries/communities of values in the long run win against less creative countries? Or is there no correlation? And it's always a kind of back and forth It certainly seems as if the US is more creative in terms of art, freedom of speech, openness to psychs etc. It seems that allowance of creativity is a huge part of the US's success and as if that would give it or even the West a huge advantage if China doesn't open up to other ideas, psychs etc. But in some ways humans are also scared of too much freedom. Lately many people have been saying that China will be the next superpower.

Have any of you cured any fatigue issues? I've seen Leo talked about Modafinil etc. these things are good for a temporary fix but they're also prescription drugs here and really mess with my sleep and don't treat the root cause imo.

why do we have such similar colours as avatars? are you guys stalking me?

"I wish that you, oh exalted one, would not be angry with me," said the young man. "I have not spoken to you like this to argue with you, to argue about words. You are truly right, there is little to opinions. But let me say this one more thing: I have not doubted in you for a single moment. I have not doubted for a single moment that you are Buddha, that you have reached the goal, the highest goal towards which so many thousands of Brahmans and sons of Brahmans are on their way. You have found salvation from death. It has come to you in the course of your own search, on your own path, through thoughts, through meditation, through realizations, through enlightenment. It has not come to you by means of teachings! And—thus is my thought, oh exalted one,—nobody will obtain salvation by means of teachings! You will not be able to convey and say to anybody, oh venerable one, in words and through teachings what has happened to you in the hour of enlightenment! The teachings of the enlightened Buddha contain much, it teaches many to live righteously, to avoid evil. But there is one thing which these so clear, these so venerable teachings do not contain: they do not contain the mystery of what the exalted one has experienced for himself, he alone among hundreds of thousands. This is what I have thought and realized, when I have heard the teachings. This is why I am continuing my travels—not to seek other, better teachings, for I know there are none, but to depart from all teachings and all teachers and to reach my goal by myself or to die. But often, I'll think of this day, oh exalted one, and of this hour, when my eyes beheld a holy man."

Erdogan? He's the president of Turkey, and right now Turkey is involved in a few conflicts in recent years. Syria, Libya, Iraq, In the Eastern Mediterranean with Greece because of oil etc. and supported Azerbaijan against Armenia, and a hundred yrs ago there was the genocide of Armenians in Turkey. Turkey is still an important NATO member because of its location, size etc. and the US (and Europe) wouldn't want that Turkey gets much closer with Russia. So Erdogan is kind of playing all sides a bit while his economy tanks and is using his NATO membership and the refugee crisis as a free pass to do so.

I think humans taught these animals to draw etc. probably similarly to how dog learn tricks etc. or do you think they really want to express themselves on a canvas? I do think nature is the greatest artist though, like bee's and their hexagon structures, flowers or just a river flowing etc.

so he's dissing Tolle and starting some beef in these spiritual streets ?
