Saying is solipsistic.

I don't see that, you sound solipsistic. But your thread is based on the aversion to pain and death right? Do you see the ego in that?

So if I kill a chicken, as in life ceases to exist, all life ceases to exist? No, life is a concept.

Science https://www.science.org › article › p... Plants communicate distress using their own kind of nervous system Plants may lack brains, but they have a nervous system, of sorts. And now, plant biologists have discovered that when a leaf gets eaten, it warns other .

It's not enlightenment without compassion, you're being uncompassionate to plants. I'm not saying animals don't matter, I'm saying EVERYTHING matters, of course a "highly conscious" person isn't likely to be a glutton, they're likely to respect and appreciate EVERYTHING they eat AND KILL. The "advanced nervous system" is a devoid of compassion qualifier, are retarded people less valuable than genius'? Are cold hardened WWII vets less valuable than 20 year old female emotion coaches? Pain and suffering are concepts, not the feeling associated with 'pain', but the idea of pain. Veganism is stage green.

Awesome, thank you.

There's also usually at least one very 'comfortable' woman that would push the guys out of their shell too, some women are very...... forward and fun having.

You're applying nonduality to the materialist plane, "since there's no doer, I have no way to change the trajectory of my life and to make my life circumstances better for myself and others." if there is a "your life and circumstances to make better", then there is also a "doer". You've been taught only a part of non duality.

I've only been to them with my girlfriend or date, but it seemed like an extremely conducive environment. After a few times going and continuously noticing the women subtly coming on to me it started to feel like it would be as much a speed dating event as it was a dance class if you were single.

The shaman was non violent and was yelling at the protestors to be peaceful, the police treated him accordingly and peacefully escorted him out.

@soos_mite_ah Money can never pay them back. You being truly happy is the only way.

You've done it, have you ever got into drinking, or did you ever hate vegetables, working out, etc....

Yes, even Russia has to learn the hard way sometimes like by losing in Ukraine.

Current military capabilities completely dismiss any need for initial proximity, you're still in the previous century.

Study the museums and gardens you go to, so you have a ton of conversation content. Also, do farmers markets if they have them there, 'study' that market to.

@An young being You ever pet a cat that didn't want petted? Did you harm that cat?

The animals don't even have your concept of pain or unpleasantness to begin with.

"Pain and unpleasant" are concepts, consider a world where everyone is constantly being jabbed with pokey things or walking on broken glass or hot coals, do you think they could come to enjoy that? They/you can, these unpleasant vs pleasant ideas are just ideas, pleasant and unpleasant are just relative.

Yeah I've been to beginner group dance classes and they have you rotate partners and then there's open dance after the class, the girls are constantly coming on to you during the class and it would be easy to ask them to dance afterward, and there are more women then men in these classes.

Are you speaking in the context of "highly conscious person"? If so, what is pain and why is it bad, secondly they feel no pain when you chop their heads off with a clever.

They have a right to, and it wouldn't be a threat to the U.S. nor any benefit to Russia or China. Do you think the west poses an offensive military threat to Russia or China?

Right, I was speaking to the OPs context of "how a highly conscious person would go about it, if at all." They would just appreciate the chicken, like the OP asked "Like I honestly feel this is why the more conscious people get the more they respect other being's will and life." You can respect it and still kill it and eat it.

What about killing plants?

Cya and good luck, have fun.

Spend as little time with her as you can. Tolle has a decent video on being with unconscious people but it's advanced to be able to actually use. Meditate more to balance it out, try to only consume positive media, your mother is enough negativity for you at the moment. Just do what you can, don't beat yourself up for reacting with anger.
