Of course its a self-created reality, you don't see me showing much surprise overall. Now Israel is creating what comes next. You can see the past but I don't understand why you can't see how this creates the next great tragedy. When it happens i'll be saying they helped create it, and all these people with moral outrage will be saying 'oh how can you say that'. I'll be sitting here having to talk to people trying to delude themselves that they had no hand or choice in it in, like it all just happened to them. And BTW a recent poll. Yes if Israel bomb someone, they don't like them, and join any group resisting them. Why is this a surprise to so many posters here?

Nothing is redundant. I like to think people only reply if they want to, everyone has agency in their actions. I have never replied to someone calling a population a cancer. Nor see this level of justification (from several viewpoints) for slaughter outside of a book or movie. It's honestly a learning experience.

I will try and engage this part of you instead. This military action will do the opposite. I repeat, it erodes international support by its unilateral nature and its direct targeting of civilians. Its aggressive response against a similar culture turns the countries in the immediate vicinity further hostile. It generates hundreds of thousands more militia fighters ready to attack Israel. It will legitimize Hamas again in many quarters. It legitimacies this level of response against Israel (and sadly other countries), it actually provides a stepping stone for the next level of response against Israel. America is moving isolationist. They are likely in the Middle East to be replaced or at least rivaled effectively by BRICS. Iran does not like Israel. There is a fair chance that Israel will find less support as a result of this atrocity being committed, and given America's pull towards isolationism, could see themselves undermined significantly. Yemen is being quite smart targeting naval trade. As this area specifically is where China will rival America soon, the ability to project naval power in the coming decades. So Israel could well see itself starved of what it needs to function as one example. It will undoubtedly see more terrorist attacks as a result of this as another example. Sanctions keep coming from different countries, which I should also show as an example.

This part of you is psychopathic.

1) In wartime flyers acting as discarded pieces of paper are not very effective, often ignored being considered enemy propaganda. 2) Simply false. The response was almost immediate. I was watching airstrikes happen. 3) They had no time at all, they were immediately being bombed. The first people knew about it they were under fire. Not long after that north gaza was cut off and surrounded. You couldn't pay me to walk that blockade now. Even at the start have to be brave to walk out in the open under fire, watching people die around you, and walking to where? A place with no certainty of anything when you get there. Not to mention, nobody in that region trusts anyone. For all they knew they would be walking to their deaths, many did. 4) The lack of food, water, and shelter, There is nowhere near enough. Also, the UN shelters keep getting hit to kill one guy, out of 30. Because Israel is dumb. There is no other way to say it, the way they are doing all this is ineffective, their leadership is short-sighted, and not very intelligent as to the long-term consequences of acting with this severity unilaterally. I heard someone who was pro israel turn around and say their leader should be shot today. That's the change that's happened internationally. They want to act alone, they'll be alone. 5) It's about 80 journalists who have been killed, but yeah people who speak out also. It was recently reported an elderly lady was killed by a sniper for saying she was older than Israel, as an example. The individual accounts, your feelings on killing people you don't like (which is concerning you'd state that) and specific details are less important than the fact civilians or the press are considered legitimate targets. Israel is acting as a terrorist state. By supporting them, America is acting as a state sponsor of terrorism. 6) In wartime, outside voices help moderate the response naturally. Unilateral action with silenced dissent from the people with the most emotional investment, leads to an extended period of suffering for all involved. Banning anyone. When this first broke I couldn't say a word against this on the major media platforms, it took a lot of pressure to get that reversed. They were pushing a bill in the US to make anti-Zionism anti-Semitic, I don't know the status of that effort. It's incredibly easy to get your video pulled from youtube if don't walk on eggshells. They've been arresting people protesting in America, we get more leeway in the UK because we are not as far down the fascist rabbit hole yet. The whole point of collective voices or diplomacy for example is to stop states going too far. Israel has gone too far. Targeting civilians on mass to cause terror. which is the definition of terrorism, and America is sponsoring it. Both Hamas and Israel are a reflection of each other. Its given me a good view that the American government is hardly better than Russia, just in a different geological position.

There is never not a self-bias. You are yourself, you have a bias.

Communicating to who? People who had their communications cut? How long does it take to move a million people south down a couple of roads under fire? What about all the people that can't move? Screw them right? What about the people when they get south, sit them in a desert right, let them starve, screw them. Blow anyone up that says a bad word about you? Can't have that. Ban me if I say what I really feel right on a communication platform? Criminalize an opposing view that would moderate the response. Israel has flattened almost the entire north from hospitals to schools. Taken no other approach other than bomb, bomb, bomb. Used the most extreme option first, with no sense at all. I conclude the propaganda and self-delusion here is unreal.

If Israel bomb cities of course they are going to generate support to a resistance to the bombing, whoever that is. Then when people lose family, homes, take horrific injuries, they radicalize and become terrorists throwing rockets at Israel. Its why nationalists are generated in war for example, a want to protect the homeland. The worse you make the conditions for the population the more they'll join with whoever is standing against that. At the bare minimum it had to be a carrot and stick approach, but emotion, hatred, and general stupidity of the leadership in the region hasn't led to a want to solve the problem, only seek revenge. Well, that generates revenge. As i've said before each action generates a consequence, I don't know why anyone wants to see the consequence that comes from this, but they seemingly do.

Of course. Hundreds of thousands of new recruits. People in Palestine have little left to lose, but it'll be a useful recruiting tool worldwide for many militia groups. Any occupation of land exists as a recruitment ad forever. There is no question the US will need to leave more people in the region. It'll be a small miracle if its not a larger deployment on their bases at some point, I doubt they'll call it a war though, as its likely to just be against irregular fighters. *Though Yemen looks like its going to intercept cargo shipments, which might spill this into a conventional war. Fascism has always and will always generate war. The ideology requires war to exist. People have to be shown it directly again sadly.

Everything is perfectly flawed. -
The hopelessness and nihilism of being something that isn't wanted or having a big part of you rejected, obviously creates a mirrored rejection in the people experiencing it. The tolerance (let alone acceptance or better) currently in the world is at an all-time low, from my lifespans perspective. The quickest way for you to not experience what you are experiencing is to be the exact opposite of it, you may not change the world, just your own experience of it and what it all means, There is one magic button to raise awareness, it is the shortcut to all enlightenment. @StarStruck Self Love. You being everything, means appreciating, showing gratitude, joy, and loving every experience, or as much of yourself as you are able, not in some fairytale or stereotypical hippie way, for what it is. That probably repels you. It mostly repels me at the moment again, but be aware that the shortcut is there if nobody has told you before. If they say there is no such thing as a shortcut, they are wrong. You are love at the core. That is what every experience is seeking, a return to that state, from the most obvious to the most twisted dark mirrored fear, So working toward that is like putting yourself on a fast road through your development, as opposed to walking through the mud. Till the ego kicks in, or some part of you that you can't like or tolerate, let alone show gratitude or love for presents itself, or worse grows larger, and you start walking in the mud again.

If he's just sending women he's never met or barely spent time with money overseas, what does he expect? Plus dating overseas, it has all the problems of regular dating, with more expense, less feedback, a slower pace, harder to keep it alive, and cultural or language barriers. - My experience is you've got to both really want it and work very hard to keep it going overseas. Living with parents past a certain age is a huge turn-off for women generally speaking. Maybe drop that into the conversation later when it comes up, rather than advertise it up front. Sure you'll get people telling you its not, but it really is for romance or them seeing you in that light. Sounds like he's trying to buy a relationship. That can last for a while if you have enough money, but there isn't much relating going on, so not much of a basis for any lasting relation-ship. Money should only come into that when it's about the two of them. Tell him not to try and save women, if you go into it with that mentality when the 'savings' done, he's either bored, or she's left. Trust pilot reviews are usually hovering at the mid or low end of the scale when they reach a larger number, so they are either doing a good job posting fake reviews, or the company isn't a scam. https://www.trustpilot.com/review/christianfilipina.com https://www.sitejabber.com/reviews/christianfilipina.com https://www.romancescams.org/filipina-dating/christian/christian-filipina-review/ - Here is two better ones to try apparently. Not to say that you won't get scammed if you send women money, I am sure plenty of people keep several men (suckers if we are being honest), on the line paying for everything. If it's overseas it's probably ten times easier to drag it out and juggle several people at once. My advice, split the first date price, easier to rule out a gold digger. But these days the trend is against that so *shrug*. At least don't send cash just because he can, he gives the impression he's an ATM machine.

Yes but not for practical reasons. Its Republicans attempt to make Biden appear a criminal like Trump through the son, because they've chosen to run headfirst into walls, rather than pick an easier candidate to win with. They chose that because Trump threatened to create his own party, which would have failed long-term but also lost the election short term. Their campaign is revenge against institutions, conspiracy, a ball of victimhood oh poor me, guilt by association from a stupid son, and the occasional trans issue. The trouble is with that approach, we've all had family, and we certainly are not responsible for their decisions. Sadly people, by and large, are still susceptible to guilt by association. It does sound weak though to say Trump's a criminal, but so is Biden's son, and what? What is the point there? Am I responsible for my Brother's messed up life? Are you responsible for that uncle, or parent that's screwed up? No you are not, passed adulthood its on their shoulders. You get opportunities to try and help or make a difference but you know how often that changes anyone's mind, near zero. -

Everything in motion changes from the point of observation, and nothing can perpetually stay in motion. We are talking physical things here, everything is moving, even if it seems still to you. This applies to every function inside your body, every physical thing you've ever seen, every physical thing in the universe small or large, every belief, dream or thought you've ever had, and every natural force you've ever experienced. Motion is the only reason you can observe the universe, otherwise, nothing would be visible. There would be no distinction present. That is why god, infinity or you are stillness, given motion to observe. -

Because you've assigned your values set to the general population, then at the same time focused on the people who don't think like you, while trying to find reasons why they should. Most of us do it, including me. -

Anything in motion is always changing relative to the point of its observer. Nothing can perpetually keep in motion forever. -

A funny synchronicity -
BlueOak replied to Sugarcoat's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
Just before I slept I asked for a bit of help from a mystic who helped me once. I felt like a truck hit me when I got up. Woke up twice during the night. Maybe we/they did some work collectively speaking. I'm not remembering dreams at the moment. So I was probably unconscious for it. You can do a lot as you integrate with yourself (everything) at night, if you set intent. -
BlueOak replied to Sugarcoat's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
Let me know if what i've suggested many times in these posts helps or not - Water. Breathing. Nature. Air. Calm environment. I don't think you being stuck in this cyclic reasoning or rationalization of the experience as it's happening is helping you right now. Sometimes you just have to let the spiritual experience happen, the resistance is what causes the problem, then reflect on it afterward and its meaning. -
BlueOak replied to Sugarcoat's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
@Breakingthewall Got any advice here? If you don't mind a tag. I know you speak about having regular spiritual experiences. -
BlueOak replied to Sugarcoat's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
There is nothing outside of yourself. Assuming its not a mental break, which if it continues beyond a couple of weeks I would seek advice about, for me it is describing reintegration with the collective will of everything. In the moment between being everything and being you, it can feel like you describe, as if another will exists but it's also you. I've had the opposite, what i'll call a spiritual memory I was given of splitting and why I incarnated, how I became who I am. Though there is no 'memory' when you are everything, no time, space, relative course of events, it just is. That is the best way I can describe it, Metaphors given an experience to show us something. The only important thing is what it means to you. To re-establish identity, get very simple. As simple as you can. This is why I keep suggesting nature, water, rivers, meditation, breathing. Focus on the breath and only the breath. Make sure the diet is simple. The room is free of distractions, free of electronics. Keep a clear and simple routine. Even if it's not what I am talking about, doing that will give you the best possible space to calm the mind, so it's not going to hurt. -
BlueOak replied to Sugarcoat's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
It sounds to me like you can observe being driven right? Whatever impulse you are observing. You are aware that isn't the entirety of you either. There is nothing but you. Observation of an experience is all that exists, and if you are observing it you are watching/feeling/sensing it happen. There is nowhere to slip. Nowhere to go. You've got some distance from the self identity. Breathe, and take it slow. Nobody else is going to move your body for you. I guarantee you that much. You might just feel or sense that this impulse is not what you want to be anymore, or want to do. It might be a sense of why am I doing this? Happening. So don't, choose not to for a while, or choose to. Whenever you feel not in control, reassert control or make a choice to go with it. Have you tried what I suggested? Sitting near a river in nature? Drinking a healthy dose of water? Really simple things. Taking it very slow and letting whatever is happening just happen at a steady pace. Water and nature are incredibly grounding, electronics and stimulation are the opposite. It could be what others have suggested, a psychological development, but as you are prone to spiritual experience my first guess would be what I am typing. -
BlueOak replied to Sugarcoat's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
Lots of clean Water. Nature, go sit on the grass, barefoot if possible, even better near a river. Acceptance. These things will help. People do go through it and experience it in different ways, all through their life. You dissolved some ego and it gave you a glimpse that the totality of your existence isn't as fixed as you thought. You get to more shape who/what you/reality is. There are people out there with your realised spiritual gifts, and others, there used to be a lot of places to meet them online, now you'd have to search. Most of them were repelled when spirituality shifted to be more encompassing. If you don't accept reality for what it now is. A survival experience will shock you back to reality. You are still here - you never leave anywhere, you are all that exists. One day those spiritual experiences might bore you, and someone answering the phone or waving at you will be not much different, just not stick in your mind as much to remember. They are useful to highlight something, all this is a projection of the mutli dimensional (Many You's) mind/body/spirit anyway. The dog barking or being out of body is the same sort of thing. And now you get why resistance is beneficial too, not just for weightlifting. Not many know why I say that, you do. Weightlifters probably understand it, generally speaking, it's good preparation work to understand resistance. You might also understand now why someone clings to trauma or pain a bit more. Some of us need it, because without any of it, what is there to push against or train with? Without any suffering or external/internal pressure, external forces, any need, any demand, whatsoever there'd be nothing left to shape form, function, or a reason for doing anything. There would just be a literal void, everything is held in place by something. You are now getting to choose more of what holds you together. Make it a good choice. -
You are fundamentally wrong. Mammals and animals that have social groups naturally have a percentage of individuals that are homosexual. It is the most natural thing in the world. The percentage usually increases when competition for resources, space, or mates increases, because the need for companionship and the sex drive doesn't go away. People are born biologically and chemically attracted to certain body type(s), characteristics, personalities, energy whatever.
