@Raptorsin7 From the forum guidelines: ● No conspiracy theories: Covid hoax, 9/11 inside job, David Icke stuff, reptilians, Pizzagate, QAnnon, pedophilia accusations, the Jewish question, holocaust denial, etc. I'd tread carefully discussing this topic, because mods could give you points.

"Finland has been debating for months whether the country should apply for NATO membership " https://thehill.com/policy/international/595656-finland-says-debate-on-nato-membership-will-change-after-russian

Looks like it didn't take long! "The Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson, Maria Zakharova has warned both Finland and Sweden that they will face “severe military and political consequences” if they attempt to join NATO." https://www.newsweek.com/russia-threatens-finland-sweden-nato-ukraine-invasion-1682715?amp=1

Yeah, until they get another hair up their ass and then it's too late.

@BlueOak +1

It's all over the news that there's a high probability of China invading Taiwan now that there's an active Russian-Ukraine war. Sure, maybe it won't happen, but it's very likely that it will. Just like it was very likely Russia would invade Ukraine and here we are.

Absolutely, they may invade Taiwan, because NATO and the US has already shown they won't do shit, except some sanctions. I'm sure Putin thought of that and proceeded anyway, so why wouldn't China do the same?

Probably true, but my husband is paranoid and has been buying 10lb bulk food, as well as freeze dried meat. He's spending hundreds of dollars, but the food he's buying lasts for many years years. Better to be prepared I guess.

It's unbelievable to me that this thread has been allowed to stay open with all the arguing and Nahm bashing. @Raptorsin7 has said his peace in various ways. What more is there to say? This has become the @Raptorsin7 journal. Anyone that disagrees with him is part of a Nahm"cult" in his mind. This isn't productive at all.

No, it's because you are saying you take responsibility, but you aren't. You paid him thousands in donations, BECAUSE YOU WANTED TO! You believed he would end your suffering. That was a story you told yourself.

I know it probably feels good to drag his name through the mud, since you feel you were taken by him, but ultimately you need to own your actions and part in this whole thing. You agreed for him to work with you. You agreed to give him donations and I highly doubt he said for you to give him thousands in donations. I would bet you suggested for it to be thousands. If he worked with you for 6-8 months and sometime within that time period he decided to start charging for his services, then you could have walked away at that point, but no, you paid more. Sorry, but you have some responsibility here. Instead of actually taking responsibility for your actions your saying he was a horrible teacher, a charlatan, etc, etc. He didn't end your suffering I guess and your pissed about it. Live and learn.

Exactly ? Nahm has 26,563 posts on this forum! He has put more into this forum, then any other mod or member I'm sure.

I agree, I'm very shocked ? I have another comment from my earlier one. Which is that being a mod, a good mod, isn't easy. Before I stepped down, my time as a mod was spent scanning threads in my free time for spammers/scammers/trouble makers/etc, answering PM's with members having issues, members reporting other members, looking into I.T. issues, checking IP addresses for multiple accounts, etc. and its all volunteer work. I think Nahm deserves more credit then he's getting in this thread. Perhaps his style is not what Leo or some other members resonate with, but he did alot of good on this forum, damn it!

Really? ?‍♀️ That is so inappropriate on this thread ?

@Nahm Nahm was always nice to me and he was a great mod. I send him love and respect. ❤?

Yes, there is a discrepancy with a person that speaks like a sexist pig, but also thinks of himself as a spiritual person/guru. ?

?‍♀️

???

Relax and breathe. Seriously, My original post was one sentence long and 1/2 of it was repeating exactly what Leo had said. Chill ?

Sorry that my opinion and usage of pronouns triggered you! I do use pronouns and will continue to do so when speaking and writing. Hope you're feeling better now.

Too funny... and they are losing their shit, which doesn't show much growth. Oh-well.

Yes, a good example of the one awareness aware as different beings. All there is, is awareness aware of itself, as different aspects of itself. I found Advaita Vedanta explains the breakdown of pure awareness without attributes (Brahman), to awareness with attributes (Isvara), to individual separate beings (Jivas) very well. Makes logical sense.

Right, exactly. One awareness experiencing different perspectives.
