Re: Black Widows

I have no idea what you will consider positive. But pointing out toxic patterns is often both positive and useful. I do understand that you are unaware of what you're doing and not doing. Or at least that is my charitable interpretation. Thank you for your prescient insight. I will completely chang...

Re: dissatisfaction in our world today.....

look about you... do you people being happy or satisfied with the state or society right now? I don't...and not only am I asking why, but I am attempting to create an answer that we bring us from dissatisfaction to being happy, satisfied....collectively, not individually... be one who can see outsi...

Yes, that's clear in both threads. Have you nothing positive to offer? I have no idea what you will consider positive. But pointing out toxic patterns is often both positive and useful.

Attempting to 'figure it out' makes it complicated [and is directly proportional to its deviation from the truth].

When you break it down to its essence, the truth of the matter is ALWAYS as simple as it gets [by definition].

Re: dissatisfaction in our world today.....

there must be something else at work? Obviously, there is something missing in your life. It is usually a religious/spiritual void that causes such yearning. There are good reasons why God has been such an important part of human life throughout the ages. And it's not about explaining the 'why' of ...

Yes. Here's another important lesson: everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler.
What does that mean?

Re: dissatisfaction in our world today.....

I would just settle for having a conversation with somebody here who will, 1. Not make it about themselves, and 2. Actually have something to add instead of only tearing everything down.

It's like this place is Loser's Central.

Re: The Truth Is Self-Evident*

Are you serious? Do you really believe that everybody REALLY believes they are "better" because they buy so and so house or drive so and so car? 1) You are the person asserting that everyone can see all the bullshit. I am saying that is not true. If I say that that is not true it does not...

Re: What Women And Men Want

You are being too delusional and extremist You have demonstrated exactly what many women do when they don't like something...attack and disparage. I guess the way you are attacking and disparaging women in this topic is your demonstration of what men like you do when they want to blame someone else...

Re: The Truth Is Self-Evident*

Nonsense. What you are describing is merely intuition, and intuition sometimes fails. And that is NOT what the relative and the Absolute mean. What you've done is what I'd call a self-deception, where you convinced yourself that you can encounter some kind of Absolute nature in meditation. You didn...

Re: What Women And Men Want

In research by Mintel, 61% of single women said they were happy with their relationship status, compared to 49% of single men. A further 75 % of single women were not looking for a partner, compared to 65% of single men. Single women are actively reveling in their solo status as a long-term and enj...

Re: Black Widows

Or is it your thinking [or lack of thinking] that creates such? I am not denying that thinking can cause suffering or more suffering. I deny that it is the only cause. I also think if you interact with people as if it is the only cause, you end up being socially damaging. Not when it is discussed i...

Re: The Truth Is Self-Evident*

Just because they accept it doesn't mean they believe it. So, you accept that they buy the products, they take on the styles, they spout the memes, they vote for the candidates, they tell their friends X is good or cool, but they don't believe. Sure, possible. And your evidence. Are you serious? Do...

Re: The Truth Is Self-Evident*

There were "truths" that I originally believed in, to the point that it never even occured to me to question them. I mean they were so basic, and inherent in everything, that I didn't even really perceive them, so it wasn't even possible for me to question them. They were that self-eviden...
