  1. There is a massive income equality in Saudi Arabia. The rich are insanely rich, and the poor are will struggle more than in western countries. Also, higher education is generally only accesable for the rich.
  2. To be the biggest winner you also have to be willing to be the biggest loser. This is real humility. The willingness to be wrong and the willingness to lose.
  3. If pedosexuality is an innate disposition since birth/early childhood, just like homosexuality probably is, then it should be acknowledged as such. Otherwise you prevent it from being studied any further, you deny the truth of the matter. And in the case of homosexuality; 'conversion therapy' is deemed ineffective and is now even considered immoral. It's highly unlikely that a homosexual becomes a heterosexual. At least I have not seen such examples where the primary attraction of the same sex transforms into a primary attraction to the other sex.
  4. Of course pedophilia happens in nature. Just like it has been happening since the dawn of mankind with humans. In human history; things like pedophilia, rape and murder are the norm, not the exception. Nature doesn't care about your age, if the woman is able to procreate than she's ready. Of course pedophilia is not moral, just like rape and murder are not moral.
  5. you are arguing for the fallacy that we first have to tackle a bigger problem before we can tackle a smaller problem. And I'm saying that's nonsense.
  6. Ruining your marriage doesn't make you enlightened. It's hard to judge from the outside, I don't know how their marriage is like. It's possible that the woman kept on growing in her life, and her husband became stagnant. Thus they grew apart and could not connect with each other any longer. In that case it's understandable the woman feels frustrated. In that case; I do think, if someone get married, they have the moral obligation to make an honest effort to save the marriage. Especially if there are kids involved. It's still possible that the husband will 'see the light' maybe through marriage counseling and open communication between wife and husband. But there are also cases where the man or woman just 'wants to live it up'. And let go of all responsibility, they just don't want to deal with it any longer. That has got nothing to do with being enlightened, in that case you are just a selfish asshole/bitch. It really depends on the particular circumstances and individuals involved.
  7. Have you read or listened to Christian apologetics? They can really get you to think and advance your spiritual development, even if you aren't a Christian. And they make you understand and appreciate the themes of the Bible more. I'm talking about writers like Thomas Aquinas, CS Lewis, GK Chesterton, St. Augustine. And you can watch Youtube channels like Bishop Barron, but also the work of Jordan Peterson on Christianity. You have to find some spark in yourself to keep searching.
  8. It's because the originator of the Cognitive functions, Carl Jung, never intended his theories to be used for pop psychology typing. And he also always emphasized that cognitive functions is just one aspect which makes up the totality personality of a person's psychological expression and makeup. The cognitive function model he proposed are more a natural cognitive fixation or proclivity through which a person tends navigate his or her environment. It's also not an exact science, again, he also did not intended it to be so. His work is heavily metaphysical and deals with psychological archetypes. Carl Jung was just as much an artist as a scientist. Myers and Briggs took these abstract theories of Jung and created a commercial pop product out of it, which has become a multi million dollar business.
  9. Are you a Christian? Have you read the Bible?
  10. I hope she gets the 20 years of prison time.
  11. These entities are 'real' just as much as our thoughts are real. Meaning, it depends on the perspective you take. In the physical sense they aren't real. But an entity can invade our mind, just like a thought or a pattern of thought can invade our mind, and manifest themselves through our actions. They can make us do things that feel like we aren't in control of those actions, that that action does not align with who we really are as a person. It's all part of the metaphysical warfare which is happening in the world. Which is hard to see and understand, yet is real, possibly even more real than the physical warfare that goes on the world.
  12. I really wish people would be careful while trying to find the 'Truth', especially when psychedelics are involved. Because your insights can be completely misinterpreted which can slowly send you in a downward spiral toward depression and suicide. You can go on train of thought which goes only one direction, which is down. It's important to stay grounded in reality. Make sure your insights actually have some kind of basis and fundament to it. Take baby steps, don't try to aim for full enlightenment immediately. It's like when people just learn to drive they immediately want to drive a sportscar with 2000horsepower and test its limits, while on drugs. The chances if you getting hurt are extremely high. Cross-check your insights with other experienced and grounded people. And if you feel you are on a downward trajectory, seek real help.
  13. "That issue is irrelevant as long as there are children starving in Africa" If I had a penny every time I heard a variation of that argument I'd be rich. And we know it's a bad argument.
  14. If all hope is lost in your experience, turn to your Lord and savior Jesus Christ and start learning about him. Non-duality is not going to save you. You are still young, you have your entire future in front of you, all is not lost.
  15. Let's not sugarcoat this by saying 'oh he willingly and gracefully left this plain of existence so he could experience eternal bliss'. No that's nonsense, he killed himself because he was in hell and saw no other way out. He was drowning in his own misery and thought psychedelics and non-duality was his way out. It wasn't. I feel bad for him, very bad. And he won't be the last. Because non-dual teachings are not geared toward leading a happy and fulfilling life. You aren't going to magically 'ascend', that's just ego illusion.
  16. Regardless if you believe in a hell afterlife or not. I think I can safely say that hell can be experienced spiritually in this worldly reality. It's the feeling of being totally cut off from God. I think the people that are most familiar with this state are people that are suicidally depressed. They feel cut off from everything, and everything is just dark, misery, suffering, evil, and there is absolutely nothing you can do about it in the moment, completely hopeless. It's the feeling of being completely hopeless untill the end of time. And there's no one or thing in the world which can alleviate your suffering. It's hard for people to understand who haven't experienced such a state. But it's real, and I think this is the most scary and brutal thing a person can experience.
  17. Hell. There's nothing more brutal than hell.
  18. Fulfill your highest purpose by serving your Lord and savior Jesus Christ. If you just want to serve your own small, little ego you will never be fully satisfied by life. Life will feel like a waste. But you can do that too if you desire to do so.
  19. You take life seriously without letting life take you over. If you don’t take it seriously your life is meaningless. A life aimed toward hedonism is empty, just drifting from one pleasurable experience to the next. That’s not a life worth living, you have to make use of your capabilities that have been gifted to you. At least try.
  20. Lol, that's a prostitute, dude
  21. You need faith, that’s it. Without it you get into these never ending internal feedback loops. Also if you have to depend on “feeling good” you are never going to produce something worthwhile.
  22. If you deeply hate and detest your boyfriend and want to humiliate him deeply, ask him if it's okay if you have sex with other dudes. If you don't hate him, try to explore ways he could satisfy you more, be open with him. If he can't, you should accept the situation as is, or leave him.
  23. @Gregory1 2 Peter 2:1-3 ESV But false prophets also arose among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Master who bought them, bringing upon themselves swift destruction. And many will follow their sensuality, and because of them the way of truth will be blasphemed. And in their greed they will exploit you with false words. Their condemnation from long ago is not idle, and their destruction is not asleep.
  24. Let this be a warning. If your life revolves around seducing and sleeping with girls the only end result is personal disaster, disaster, nihilism, insanity and possibly worse. Some PUAs are lucky to have found the light somewhere along their journey and ran from that toxic mindset and community. Others are not that fortunate. For all young people; don't get into the PUA community at all, don't even read that toxic content. It's like injecting a little heroine into your bloodstream everyday to take the edge of life, thinking if you just keep it under control it will benefit you in the bigger picture. But it won't, doing repeated acts of lesser evils won't lead to a greater good. Deep down we know this.
