Funny story, thanks for the laugh

@non_nothing Get enlightened, the end of suffering. There is no 'you' to be unhappy.

Just look up his name in YT search bar. He has given numerous interviews on various topics on different channels as well, but his books from Mars and Venus series are much better sources to get the juice from.

Exactly

Well, if a woman is a serial dater, then she has become desensitized to her natural wiring as a woman, which is to couple with one partner and create a nest (millions of sperm compete for one egg, not the other way around). Women who veered off this instinct have in some way warped their wiring - either by childhood trauma (intimacy issues), to benefit themselves in some way (like use men for something - sex, money, favors, etc and once she got what she wanted, she moves on to the next 'target'), or she took on masculine energy of wanting sexual variety. A good book on the subject of differences between male and female psychology would be John Gray's 'Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus'. He also has a YT channel that is very good.

@Shadowraix If the game you're developing is something you'd let your own kids play, then I'd say go for it. You can also subtly mix in Green elements, like meditation background music or wisdom quotes, or make some character look/speak like a guru. Like Yoda in Star Wars, for example. Or there is a settlement of people/creatures that have characteristics of a happy hippy commune, etc.

That's not how women work. We release powerful bonding chemicals during sex, so she'll start getting attached all over again. So like I said, let her be. You'd be only creating more pain for her.

Not. Let her be.

He killed himself to one-up his victims, one last time. They were probably suing him for millions $$ and now since he's dead they won't get anything. For narcissists like JE it's all about control, even if it means to end their own life.

Will give it a listen, thanks I think the problem with psychopaths is not that they objectify reality, but that they don't connect to it with empathy and love. They're on a perpetual fight-or-flight inner rollercoaster fueled by the 'lizard' brain. They lack emotional regulation and are mainly driven by their survival instinct.

@Aeris True happiness is not ego driven, it's found in Being. Being altruistic is different, though, from toxic ambition and drive for success. It's not self-serving. @pluto I live 10 mins from the beach on the Atlantic Ocean and am a regular. I love taking solo walks (or with my dog) and bathe in the magnesium/mineral rich live water. Mountains are cool too. When I go on vacations, I always choose mountains.

@How to be wise According to this study, the happiest people are the ones with least ambition. In today's world they are among hippies and Buddhist monks. The formula is quite simple - "I want happiness" - dissolve the 'I" and the 'want', and what is left is happiness. https://chasereeves.net/2009/the-relationship-of-happiness-ambition-huge-study-short-report/ @pluto I would like to go to one of these for the experience. I know people who did and they really enjoyed it. The only part they laughed about was that it got quite smelly in there haha And understandably so - people just let themselves go for a week, this was in the dessert location and there were no showers or river/lake to clean up at. When I go, I'll make sure to bring body wipes with me

Innocence, purity, and joy embodied

I can make flower arrangements for your talks, @winterknight. I can do it better than Rupert's person I'm really good at design/decor kind of stuff

Were my thoughts exactly and a bit distracting at first. Maybe we're just used to seeing other talkers' stage set-ups that are so different? I think Rupert Spira's flower arrangements are amazing and whoever does them has to be a really talented artist.

You're welcome Glad it was of help. Knowledge is power.

DAH

@Ibn Sina Yeah typical family cult mentality, and you're the 'black sheep'. Google SpartanLifeCoach Richard Grannon YT video 'Why My Family Hates Me' and his other vids on being a 'black sheep' in the family. He's one of the best expert on narcissism and PTSD. Will give you a better understanding of the dynamics in your family.

@Ibn Sina Your parents see your paying attention to someone else as a threat. It's a control thing. You should be able to talk to whoever you want without parental interference. If you still live under their roof and are supported by them, then they might feel entitled to you, which makes it more difficult for you to assert yourself/stand up to them. Typical Stage Blue family dynamic.

Will do

@winterknight I watched it last night on YT (new subscriber :-) Have you considered giving an interviewed on Buddha At The Gas Pump? It's a podcast where the host Rick Archer talks to enlightened folk about their journey, insights, and books they wrote. Rick is not awake himself, but he is a serious seeker and his list of guests is quite impressive. Would love to see you on there too

@AlldayLoop Yeah sounds like he was a seeker who was aware what was coming when the mind-body construct is no more - he would be enlightened, and his last words are evident of that.

@Western Buddha Live plants are much better, they purify the air and are pleasant to look at. You can google which indoor plants are best for that.

You start by developing a millionaire mindset first - abundance mentality, positive thinking, goal setting and reaching, pushing through fear, not giving up at failure, visualizations, self-motivation and self-discipline, strong work ethic, etc. And 10,000+ hrs of mastering your trade... and the millions are yours
