  1. If you didn't believe life is a dream, what makes you think you'd be more careful? If life was real, wouldn't you feel fear that some threat could pose a problem for you? Are you sure this grounding In reality would result in more universally responsible behaviour? For me, I would be far more selfish, losing would no longer be a dream, it would be something to kill and commit evil to avoid. It would be difficult to do anything for anyone but to further your own "real" prerogative.
  2. Every time they died they were succeeded by someone, the further back the greater number of successions to reach now. Although all species evolve over time (what's the big deal about being the year 1000 frog or from 2024?) We can see that humans put a lot of work in creating this nest (society/tech/infrastructure/safety etc) and that their efforts to affect lives beyond their personal life WORKED and can be seen today as we stand on the shoulders of Giants. I don't think it's a question of whether or not to respect ancients, it's just a fact that they provided foundational work that means we don't have to start everything from scratch during our life today. I think their spirit is carried forward whether we care or not
  3. I think similar to a eulogy, we Revere the ancients as a respect and honor for the dead, as if we can be more harmonious with our ancestors in order to manifest their continuation today. We cherry pick history (nothing else left to pick frankly it's all dust) to tell the most epic story imaginable. It's so long ago and that provides more artistic freedom for us to define history/tell stories about it in a way that is far more a caricature, a fantasy story. And who's to discredit these stories as exaggeration or misunderstood? It's just more fun and interesting to deify things that are mysterious
  4. I'm sure they wish they could be kinder, even to the most evil ones. Thats why it's only an idealization, or wishful thinking. The world isn't that tidy. But it's okay to spin parables that may soothe a wounded spirit.
  5. @Princess Arabia there is something to be said about expressly validating someone's point (women can act cruel) even when that point could be argued for anything (sharks are cruel). It's because he feels hurt, and further more I can sympathize with how he feels, I wish (everyone) but woman especially (as I'm a heterosexual male) would not view people as threatening or creeps but with tolerance, understanding and a willingness to engage. It's all just an idealization, it's like saying I wish men stopped trying to steal my girl. Not all men do this, and it's not fair to paint them in that light. But if I did paint them in that light, my initial anecdotal experience was still valid. The conclusions and trauma is an unfortunate distortion, but validation can be a first step to healing and an awareness of other possibilities
  6. Listen, women can be judgmental and cruel, quick to view many as creeps and alienate them. Yes if men want to play with equal footing (and not own women), they have to be willing to compromise and listen to them to suit their tastes as well. It wasn't long ago that women were effectively enslaved so the pendulum might swing a bit heavy towards feminism so that's probably the point you're criticizing here, you feel it's gone to far. In some cases it has, but the consequences are ultimately hurt feelings and an opportunity for growth, if you're willing to learn.. like op has been..humble and looking for advice But ultimately don't let it bother you it's just an attempt to provide tools and insights to developing better relationships with people. It's coming from a good place
  7. Working out to degrade your muscles does not result in an unhealthy body. It makes you feel good inherently - when you sit up out of bed, when you lie on your stomach or sides when you walk and sit down in your car. Even sitting down on a chair will feel better with a hearty butt pad and improved, expanded back posture that can more easily hold it's own weight without fatigue. If you want the bare minimum, you can remain as strong as your natural constitution is based on your lifestyle and habits. Aquiring unneeded strength is a worthwhile endeavor for many people who value their body as a vessel of beauty. As humans we have the capacity to be beyond natural, naturally. That of course is not a requirement to live happily, nor is it a reason to look down upon those who chose to go beyond.
  8. @Tim R so it's better to accept science as is, as the facts, than to disregard it, throw it out as subjective or speculative for the sake of the dogma that science is inherently false? If the cat's out of the bag are you sure that cat will return? Isn't science only applicable to the eye of the beholder anyways? What difference does it make to state the obvious, it's not that deadly of a dogma unless a fool uses it (though what a fool says doesnt change their status much as said fool) which apparently you see in the sentiment of anti science.
  9. The moment you express what was is the moment you've lost what is. But you have survival to take care of so what was is what may be. So you'd project on the car that could end your life in order to protect it. Love doesn't have to make sense.
  10. I'd prefer to leave my incarnation a mystery. A conclusion drawn like that seems like a shot to the foot. Already got one ? I don't think reincarnation is a literal term, it's a perspective view that is subject to change. I doubt that measuring another's power level can be anything of value unless you want to get something out of it. The discrepancy drawn between souls is a product of your current level of incarnation which is not inherited by any other soul, even if you agree with another. Older spirits would be generally happy to experience life in mundanity yet somehow subtly raise an aura of love that is based on integrity and awareness. Planning to do work after death seems like an excellent way to put work aside, I'd wanna tad more pressure
  11. This is somewhat useful but I'd prefer to idolise complete silence and returning to letting go deep with subtler and subtler judgment if possible..It can be impossible in difficult environments but that's why I work on it. If you can let those judgements flow easier, the feeling as consequence will be made apparent in any area of the body. Sitting with that tension is realization that was already the current state.
  12. @Tim R Have you considered as a friend he trusts you not to sabotage a vulnerable ego while it needs to re root. If you fear monger without cause you are poo pooing on the spiritual journey. Just fuel his best qualities, leave him be or bring something to the table. If he leaves it, leave him.
  13. Seems like a good point of reference to understand what emasculation can look like for some men who have turned to hate because they feel like they're missing out on something.
  14. Is the replay of your life an infinitesimal moment of time shuttering between blank spaces as you try and make sense of it all? With present moment awareness cultivation could the perception of time and self alter to roll with it more malleably?
  15. I imagine it's like an elastic band being stretched out as far is it can without breaking when traveling at the limits of light. If aliens had a different type of mass (one that interacts with gravity differently) it may be able to circumvent traditional physical limitations. Mass is a property of an object within 3-D whos boundaries are delineated by man to properly "encompass" said individual physical object. So maybe the form in which they reside simply hasn't been measured scientifically because our tools need more sophisticated lenses to see them. The ocean is yesterday's space exploration (and have we even discovered the ocean proper?).
