@Breakingthewall It's a cope. You don't need it. Reality does not need explanation. Besides, any explanation is limited, and therefore automatically false, so there you go.

I personally think that Leo cannot handle his own love for the world, so instead he copes by believing in solipsism in order to shut down and lower the love. If he knew how much love he has for everyone, he would die. At least, he probably thinks so. But maybe something more amazing could happen. Let's wait and see.

I absolutely love this even more!

I absolutely love this!

Not endorsing of harshness or anything like that, but where did this notion of soft spirituality come from? God has been known through religion for thousands of years to be a tough masculine character. Please don't tell me He's got brainwashed by feminist propaganda Not that that's necessarily true either, but I get the sense that many people come to spirituality having certain "soft" expectations. When I think about spirituality, I think about connection to source, unity, the magical nature of existence, and all that kind of stuff. No pictures of paradise come to my mind. When I think about truth, I don't get any paradise pictures, either. Again, I'm not saying spirituality and truth are harsh, either. I'm saying these are just one's own emotions, and they're irrelevant to both truth and spirituality. Yes, the results of practicing spirituality and seeking truth are soft and paradise, but who said the process should be so? Why can't people accept something as it is without populating a bunch of irrelevant stories around it? I guess my rant is over, but of course feel free to share your thoughts on the subject.

LMAO! That's actually technically, medically true. Women with high levels of steroid hormones become hairy and more masculine generally.

Do not take anything personally, even if it's meant personally, especially if it's meant personally.

That's not how money is created. It's just how banks work.

I just realized I've been unbanned twice. That's something, you know. I bet nobody's ever achieved this before. I'm basically the talking dead.

I suppose that's over now?

Socrates was not talking about writing as in using a pen and a paper specifically. He was thinking more general than that. If phones were available back then, he would have said audio recordings or whatever. Derrida refers to the same concept with the same word, but they both mean the general use of symbols rather than writing, as that is similar and prone to idol worship. Basically he was afraid that recording his ideas would: End creativity and evolution, cuz of dogmatism. Kill his job, cuz nobody knew how to think except a few (my speculation).

A retreat.

On the other hand, there are benefits to not meditating. I feel more in the world now, and less in the skies. I'm more effective and practical. I can also think properly and speak and relate with humans. Although, I kind of lost my spiritual connection to God, and it's hard for me to get clairvoyant thoughts.

Neediness is repelling, so it's kind of an impossible scenario.

@flowboy Damn! You exposed all my BS with this telepathic psychoanalysis. I'm speechless That's not what I'm suggesting. I'm suggesting that trauma victims don't fill their minds with stories about how serious and dangerous their trauma might be. And instead, just acknowledge it and look at it as objectively as possible, learn the healing techniques and apply them. My trauma is not anyone else's, so there's not much point in collecting stories about other people's traumas, cuz they don't necessarily indicate or mean anything. Feeding the mind negative stories can impact your life negatively even if you're healthy. And if you're not, then the effect is double.

I think childhood trauma is overrated by mainstream media. It's not as bad as it's portrayed to be, and healing is quite easy if you're unplugged from the triggers. I've had a lot of traumas and was able to heal from so much of them even though my environment is still toxic. It's paradoxical. The less seriously you take trauma, the less serious it becomes. And the more stories you make up about it, the longer it sticks. Victims taking their victimhood seriously will simply lock them up in that role forever. Ignorance is bliss. You should never read about trauma if you're traumatized. That'll only keep you stuck. Only read about it if you're healthy, and hope that you remain healthy, because it could sneak silently into your mind without you even knowing.

I've been losing consciousness. I started to make a lot of mistakes in my daily life. I say words instead of other words, I forget what I was going to do, I stumble by the wooden table, etc. Probably because I haven't meditated in a while and haven't been allowing myself enough rest. When the final earthquake occurred, I felt somewhat scared. But this wasn't just a loss of consciousness issue. It's reported that many people have experienced mental breakdowns and even death. This did not happen with the same intensity the first time, because now we have thoughts and expectations about earthquakes. The first time, we were completely ignorant, so it didn't have the same psychological effect. My sister cried in both times, but the effect was stronger and lasted longer with the final quake. I think if I had kept consistent with my meditation practice, it wouldn't have any effect at all. But it wasn't a big deal, so no problem. The earthquakes are over, but somehow I'm starting to feel a bit dissatisfied with life. I know it's just because of the lack of rest, but I don't feel like resting. Gotta do something about this. I haven't orgasmed properly in a while.

Obviously, you have not met me yet Nor have you met me 10 years later I don't know about that. I like the open chat and casual hanging out feeling to this forum. I wouldn't want it to become very solution-oriented, as that would get boring very quickly.

I agree. I think he really needs to correct this behavior. People have been complaining for years, and it seems to be getting worse. He is aware of it, and he admits that it needs correction, but still no results. Maybe awareness alone is not curative. Maybe there's something missing in the prescription.

It's not possible to go beyond tier one unless you're dealing with complex systems. Most people who claim to be stage Yellow or above are simply deluded. If you're not a politician, you are not tier two. If you're not an influencer of a large audience, you are not tier two. If you are not a CEO, you are not tier two. You catch my drift. And while having one or more of these things might indicate your level of development, it's not the only factor. You could have gotten there by luck. The real test is time. If you're able to maintain yourself through the system, and you're growing, then you're tier two. Otherwise, you're full of shit.

It does and it will, albeit indirectly. And if it doesn't, then I'm not the one complaining, so no loss. Sure thing.

@Hibahere There are pros and cons to everything. Our culture is highly protective of women which is good in essence, but at the extremes it becomes suffocating. Contrast this to western culture which gives women a lot of freedom, the women there fall easily for sexual predators like Tate because the family system there is too weak against freedom it cannot protect the young girls. So as a result of this, a lot of western women end up having to learn the lesson the hard way. It's not a perfect world, and there are always tradeoffs. But if you're conscious, you will be able to make it anywhere. I would say your best bet would be on achieving good education and then moving out of the country entirely. I don't think your parents will oppose that if you prove mature and responsible and you are not too young.

It's necessary that some people complain so that 9 to 5 becomes 10 to 4 and shorter. If everyone becomes happy with 9 to 5, it will quickly become 8 to 6 or longer.

@zurew I don't know about other countries, but my country's law system is secular and reserves civil rights as long as they don't openly oppose traditional laws. A perfect example of this opposition would be gay marriage (or even relationships), as they are absolutely forbidden under all circumstances. But it's not just social pressure and harmless judgement that you'd deal with. You could actually get killed or at least physically hurt. I've heard several stories of men killing or beating up their sisters, mothers, daughters, wives, etc. as a way of disproving of her deeds in order to defend their honor, even if that's against the law. It's not just imagination or social conditioning. These stories are real. Although sometimes, the offender gets their fitting punishment, but when that happens, the damage is done and it's already too late. It's not like you would imagine. You might be thinking that 90% of women follow the social norms, but there are 10% that don't and OP could be one of them if she's up to the challenge. Well, I haven't been to Pakistan, but if it's like my country, then the percentage is absolutely 100% that follow social norms (I'm not exaggerating), and not a single female in the country lives on her own away from family or husband. The only scenario I've seen that did not follow that rule is if the girl is studying for college in another city, so she has to move to that city temporarily away from her family. But even that is highly controlled and she is sent there with at least one female friend or family member.
