He means they only want enlightenment ofc 🤓

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA I was gonna write something like that😭 He’s as much coral as the oceans today after all climate destruction 😂😂

If you are with a person but you still view them through a generalized lense, consisting of ideas you have about the opposite sex and it has built some resentment in you then yes for sure it can have negative affect. Also if you have some idea about aspects of femininity being regressive then it might affect how you feel you should be, so you can risk diminishing that feminine/masculine polarity that can contribute to attraction and loose some touch with your authentic self… But in general I still think feminism is good when it teaches girls self respect and puts pressure on society to create more equality…

I relate it’s like you have to do so much to not look mega chopped. I was just at mini trip with my family and I swear I look so puffy after overeating twice at breakfast buffet. Like two days of eating extra makes such difference. And also skipping skincare routine once makes my skin look duller and more red. Then something simple as sleeping weird so my hair looks weird in the morning. Like damn it’s like you’re standing on a thin line between looking okay and looking mega chopped 😅😅😅😅 It motivates me to stick to my diet, then my face looks leaner, less bloated, to stick to my skincare, haircare, brow plucking etc. Damn. Hope I’m the only one who notices difference tho because I swear sometimes I be suprised someone likes me🫨

Hehehe

It’s not survival need but a psychological need. Can be seen as a physical need too, need for the physical pleasure (like how someone needs dopamine to feel good). But it’s not a need for survival

🤣🤣…

Sex is like several things at once. The man and woman enhances each others egos, the man makes the woman feel more like a woman and vice versa. She feels desired and sexy, he feels masculine (just example). So it’s physical. Then we have the physical pleasure. Then we have the emotional connection , the fulfillment of feeling love and feeling loved by someone. It’s complete and whole (when done right with the right person and inner state). It’s holistic pleasure. Virgin talk 😂😂😂

What is the goal? Awakening? Breaking down the sense of self? If so, does it realllly matter if the thoughts are related to the brain or not. We can recognize the thoughts by themselves, how they contribute to or even are the foundation for our sense of self and sense of reality, apart from what we feel is just pure perception. Even if you find out that the mind is from the brain, you’re probably not gonna be able to do anything with that information, you’re not gonna directly alter that mechanism by intervening physically like a scientist. So you might as well focus on what you directly have access to and inquire about that, your mind in itself.

You don’t have to have your life figured out to be able to date. You don’t even have to be particularly confident inside. There’s people, both men and women, at every level in society, and I think people tend to be attracted to people and are attractive to people and compatible with those that reflect them somehow around their own “level”. So there is guaranteed people out there for you, I think important factor is just exposing yourself to people so you actually have chance to meet them. But in a way it tends to happen naturally, like if you go school you’ll notice people group themselves based on compatibility. The geeky might hang around the geeky and the more reserved people find each other and the more sociable people find each other. Usually there’s not so much excessive effort involved. That’s not to say you shouldn’t work on yourself, because if you’re unhappy about yourself it will make you suffer in your life and relationships. Like even if what I said above could sound comforting, if you don’t fix some things that’s bothering you inside or your circumstances you’re still gonna be unhappy. When you come to a point of being relatively content with yourself then I think the biggest factor is just meeting enough people to find a match So basically it starts from the inside, the best partners and most fulfilling relationships can happen when you start healing, becoming a better more fulfilled version of yourself… inside out not outside in…

😭😭😭😂😂😂

Perfect tinder bio

Reminds me of a snippet from a Swedish movie where a man goes to his neighbor and asks for coffe, and she ends the convo and is like “wanna fuck” and the rest is story… Damn maybe it’s that easy it’s just that we overthink too much

It’s cool to realize how much our brain controls our experience, to the point where even without psychedelics our brains can change something like our perception of our size. It makes me wonder what else is possible, what other perception of reality is possible to manipulate to improve our experience . For some it can feel isolating in a way, like our reality is really internally created

I experience this on a regular basis, although it never affects what I see visually, it’s just a sense of feeling physically big. It can feel weirdly comfortable.

I think most who are familiar with the idea of enlightenment expect it to be rare. That’s why people spend decades with spiritual pursuit, they hold it like a difficult goal. It can be seen as a trap, but on the other hand, if you’re a human in the human psychological realm, and you have enlightenment as a goal, isn’t it the most wise thing to pursue it in different means, even if it absolutely might not be possible? I mean we can feel for ourselves how rigid this “self structure” is, so it’s reasonable to assume it requires something strong to break down, like a consistent practice. Especially if we end up experiencing changes, it can confirm to us it is a good path to take. If we are honest to ourselves, we recognize if we’re not enlightened, so while we remain in this relative realm it makes sense to chose to do things that we think can attack it directly. What is even rarer is people who get enlightened , or at least get enlightenment experiences, without any practice at all, so an even bigger trap might be just sitting around waiting for it to happen. Because the human psychology is gonna hold something as a distinct thing no matter what, it can’t comprehend absolute truth, so might as well try to get as close to it as we can through concepts and a framework to work from. Basically at the end of the day we’re in this game of life, so might as we’ll play it wisely before we’re able to be free from it. We can’t deny that our psychology seems to work a certain way; and anything that has a way of working should have a way of working to undo it. Like how the sun rises every morning, it’s a certain mechanism, even if absolutely there’s no distinct sun. There’s also the possibility of doing things loosely, so pursuing enlightenment while also simultaneously recognizing it’s not REALLY possible, even if it’s a intellectual realization at first, that might help in further undoing this human structure that separates things into objects.

It should first and foremost be done from your own judgment

@No1Here2c Id say I agree with what you said. One could assess for oneself if one sees the possibility of going down a purely independent path, or if assistance through drugs and spiritual teachers could help. I think it’s wise to do both

It sounds great but you know why I’m hesitant

That’s great you’re able to focus on what you prioritize the most (consciousnesss)!

I’ve been on these two meds for over a year now. 5 mg olanzipine and 20 mg Prozac every day. Does anyone have something interesting to say or experiences to share about them? There are certain things in my current “personality” that I can’t tell for sure if it’s a side effect of the meds or how I am naturally, currently in my life.

Wow retired at such young age! That’s cool. How though? If you don’t mind Yea drastic changes in our consciousness can feel scary. But as long as we somehow end up finding a way of stabilizing we should be fine

I think the sedative effect is what I’ve noticed primarily; but I don’t feel much need for it anymore in same way As long as you’re able to feel decent without meds you don’t need them

Thanks. Yes I see the value in meds and I think they’ve helped to calm down neurosis a bit. But then if you do natural inner work then ideally I want to try to taper down the meds as I don’t want them if I really don’t need them. Yes and the tapering down is done with approval from doctor and gradually. I will be meeting doctor in 6 months but I’ve been wanting to call them prior to suggest tapering down. I think I’ll call them tomorrow Yes healthy habits is something I try too. Like for example one evening I drank two cups of coffe and I felt a bit anxious that evening (more than usual) so if I’m not fooling myself: substances affect us in good and bad ways. So I wanna eat healthy and I’m open to natural supplements
