I don't think so. People who think they get an extra pet on the back by god for being a mertyr are the most fearless fighters and they are well trained. That was one of the reasons isis could counquer so much territory, even from other jihadists, in such a short time.

It's often that young people under 25 are often inmature and lax and when they grow older the become more conveservative like their parents did maybe just a little bit less and this is especially obvious with muslim people in western countries because their internal values start diverting from the mainstream. It's a matter of degree of course and I don't say that all are the same. That's just part of maturing and repeating of pattern.

I second that! But for me it's the opposite. I can visit the forum via mobile phone but not on my computer via firefox or chrome.

Insuline pens are injected subcutane into fat tissue.

@Leo Gura what is the reason for how long it is dead matters? If it's frozen for example?

@Leo Gurasounds to me like that what happened in gaza when they had free elections and kicked out fatah 20 years ago.

@Leo Gurayeah, a perfect example is syria and egypt. In syria outside funded islamists took over the revolution pretty quickly when the violence exploded. In egypt the muslim brotherhood with mursi appointing radicals in position of power. And by the way. There is an article from amnesty with evidence that ukrainian forces used (and probably still uses) civialian infrastructure like hospitals, schools and high rise buildings as bases, wappon depots, assembly spots, and rocket launching sides. The thing is, if the ukrainians did this and the russians, then why shouldn't desperate suicidal hamas fighters do that too? Ps: I don't deny that bombing of civilian infrastructure for other reasons such as methode to demoralize the population or just overreacting doesn't occur by isreali military Here is the link: https://www.amnesty.org/en/latest/news/2022/08/ukraine-ukrainian-fighting-tactics-endanger-civilians/

@An young being yeah, that might be realized when ai gets really advanced and the people aren't too biased to put it in action and listen to it.

@Breakingthewall thx, I think I remember now that you mentioned that earlier. It's hard to keep track which person has which background and experiences. I agree that this happens to be the case a lot, especially with lower income and education and poverty. However, from personal experience, I know that there is more diversity and there always exists at least different sized bubbles of people who live more stage orange or even green, like in turkey in the istanbul area or in marocco the city of fes. Here in europe at universities you can also find very open minded muslim people.

@An young being I don't think so. An AI will be trained by certain people with data from people and bias would be baked into it. That means it will probably not "think" in what is a more conscious decision?"but materialistically. there are so complex fundamental issues that no ai can solve in the foreseeable future like is it better to treat all humans equally or push for the more advanced countries or find the right balance between. The bitter truth is that every person acts most of the time short term because survival is always decisions in the now to get you survive from moment to moment on the fly. Of course there are degrees and some people plan a lot for the future but they are rather the exception. I'm sure you everyone has examples where he preferes short term decisions which turned out desastrous in the long run like after years of smoking getting sick. I know it's an emotional thread so all this isn't meant to play down the severity of the situation but instead to get some insights how the human mind works.

@HMD yeah and it is a terrible thing and I don't think it will stop any time in the near future. You seem very educated. I don't know how involved you are personally and didn't read all your previous posts but can you see the situation from the israeli perspective as well? @Breakingthewalldo you know muslims personally or have hang out with any?

@An young being Yes, and it often works amazingly in the short term like al quaida or even isis by letting them roam freely in eastern syria. I think when you are right now in the situation it is hard to predict how all your current actions will later unfold and what will be the consequences of it.

Yeah, that happened. Foreign powers support all groups to advance their agenda all the time. However it is still a different matter if you support a group with the intention to undermine the opposite side or to create a extremist terrorist organisation who massacre your people intentionally. I don't think that the people then thought that far ahead and for the israeli side it was a good move at the time and it had been still useful up to that point last week in order to justify their policy.

I stumbled upon this video about David Grusch's perspective on the subject on the yestheory channel. I haven't fully watched it yet. it's interesting and he answered questions of ordinary people and we get a little more backstory about him and the hurdles he had to jump.

I don't believe what just now happened. I was visiting a jazz konzert and this crazy dude from last time appeared. When I saw him I joined him and we talked about consciousness and how nutrition can increase or cause a decrease by having unhealthy gut bacteria which release neurotransmitter to cause depressed states and cravings for low conscious things. He explained many ways to fix it by starving with the right food and also he explai edhe shared some joins and he was taeching me how to focus in the now so that thoughts disappear. We also listened to the sound and I kept getting more conscious but I got instead more conscious how unclear my thought were and how I was in autopilot. He was using his own words and no nondual words because he haven't read spiritual books. Cuz he went natural without them on the way. However talking about this might have sounded crazy to other people occasionally crossing by. Well what then happens was that he made me clear how consciousness goes on outpilot and how deep into it I was. Then he said when you aweken and die your whole live starts to appear in front of your eyes again and when then happened that the autopilot came for a eternal second to a stand still and my live statted to reverse for a second and then I pushed it back again and off I went again on autopilot... I was literal dying. I was asking him if I come back again and he said "not sure" with a casual look on his face, so I decided to wait. My heart was beating heavily and reality had stopped and I came back. This happened 2-3 hours ago and I'm normal. I learned a lot and I am greatful to him. At the same time my ego starts sabotaging how I thing about him and projects shit about him as defence strategy. He is defenetively very advanced and told me that for him reality every now and than disappears. He said when one arrives there is nothing to add and more complex stuff I understood in that state. He is relatively strange but to most people he talks far less to and said this makes people unconscious because it starts low conscious stuff. I don't claim him to be enlightened or such stuff but he is quite high conscious and is very present. what's also far more important is what he caused in me. I had awakening and knew who I was for this moment. It also was very interesting because he explained me in this state in real live examples how these mechanism happen by explaining and then start a short chit chat with someone. I saw how I and the person I we were talking to were going into autopilot we get unconscious. edit: He is quite quiet and calm and not that superficially nice like my stage green spiritual friends with sleepy eyes. what I also learned from him is that niceness is also maya and spiritual decoration like leo a few times said. No I understand what he ment. Thx everyone! I hope that I'm gonna meet this guy somewhere again.

I hope I don't derail this thread too much but this guy has defenitely made progress in trancending suffering @Leo Gura ?

I agree with you on being able to reduce it a lot but my point was that in practice it is highly unlikely that eliminating it comepletely is possible even for the most advanced practitioners.

I don't think that this is comparable because the situation you mentioned is a very controlled situation but having a bigger accident and getting beaten up badly has a different flavour which would cause more resistance and put you in a lower state due to survival mode and it would be much harder ro catch your mind while you need your mind to figure out how to get out of there.

Do you know from what he's suffered? You can suffer and still be happy if you are aware of the thoughts and feelings so that you are the space around but I think the harder you suffer the harder it is to stay that way or some sickness kills off your mindfulness. For the feeling of pain itself it is from my experience very dependent on resistence and the degree of negativity up to a certain a degree of pain. It can be ok if you stay with the feeling and it can be very strong pain. But there are situations like when your feet are crushed and that goes for almost everyone out of the window except some rare cases of extreme surrender in a particular case but pain in other cases. I think the diminishing of suffering to almost zero like the buddha (if he existed) was due to his lack of suffering and trauma in his years before seeking.

From my experience you can even eat grains in form of whole grain like spelt. You can cook them like rice and they keep you filled up. Bread might also work if it isn't wheat and whole grain. It is super important how they are packed. I have once seen a documentary of people eating whole grains, nuts, veggies and fruits and taking in more than 2000 calories per day and they stayed thin and then switched to junk food with 2k calories and they got fat really fast. Just a question. How common is good quality whole grain bread without additives in the us?

Some parts seem good like the cold shower and the walk. However, wouldn't be the most tough thing for you to stop agitating yourself and live with a few minutes silence or quit smoking? Might be fun as long as you are young but in 10 or 20 years this might get you in trouble.

This might have different causes. First, for most people V-LSD tends to be far more visual than other analogues. I've experienced that myself and had on 225ug as much visuals as on 400ug lsd and I think that can cause some after effects for a week as I've experienced that too. I would just wait at least a month to do another trip or change the analogues/substance. Other things that might influence that might be enhanced pattern recognition which can also come from consciouness work. Just to be informed so you don't worry too much if it occurs because my ego got really worried when I became aware of the following. You might get aware of small cristalls floating in your eyes which your brain normally removes like your blind spot on your retina or getting aware that your visual field acually vibrates and that it is appearing and disappearing like everything else and is literally changing forms

There already exists a few weeks old thread with his story and another story.

@Leo Gura tax avasion isn't a serious crime in the eu. I have found examples of 7-8 years ago. If they haven't tightened the law recently an offender gets 1-5 years in prison in romania and/or a fine. Example:https://balkaninsight.com/2014/08/25/romania-jails-businessman-for-tax-evasion/

@martins name maybe he's started a new gimnick and he's making big money by selling worn underwear in his name to his war room members.
