Too much superficial knowledge has apparently crushed the sacred right out of the culture. So too is the sacredness of both sex and procreation crushed.seeds wrote: ↑Tue Jun 21, 2022 4:30 pmGranted, it is subtle, but I think you missed an important point hidden in this line from my prior post......for it highlights the tragedy of a cavalier attitude toward abortion.However, if the woman chooses to abort the baby, then a new (eternal) soul is prevented from coming into existence.
Abortion as a means of birth control due to it (a new baby) being an "inconvenience," or, worse yet, due to the ridiculous ("antinatalist") attitude of not wanting to bring a new person into this world to be subjected to its "cruel and horrible" conditions,...
...prevents the coming into existence of a new "ETERNAL" soul, who, from the perspective of my own "Ultimate Seed" theory, is imbued with the wondrous and ever-fruitful potential of literally evolving into a "new universe" just like the one it would have been born into had it not been aborted.
In other words, we aren't aborting a glob of cells, we are aborting a potential Being who would have been forever thankful for having received the gift of life.
That's why it's so important that humans have visions (no matter how looney or flawed they may be) of the existence of an "afterlife."
Why?
So that our decisions aren't strictly based on a purely materialistic/nihilistic ("life has no ultimate purpose") attitude.

Eternal
Greeks sought refuge in some form of perpetuation—the perpetuation of fame through epic and story; the perpetuation of youth, beauty, and perfection through art; the perpetuation of life through identification with the immortal god in the many mystery cults; the perpetuation of the mind through the philosophic discipline which dissolves the temporal into the eternal; and finally, perpetuation of being through the survival of the soul, by nature immortal.

Immortality
“Immortality was also one of the chief problems of Plato’s thought. With the contention that reality, as such, is fundamentally spiritual, he tried to prove immortality, maintaining that nothing could destroy the soul. Aristotle conceived of reason as eternal but did not defend personal immortality, as he thought the soul could not exist in a disembodied state. The Epicureans, from a materialistic standpoint, held that there is no consciousness after death, and it is thus not to be feared. The Stoics believed that it is the rational universe as a whole that persists. Individual humans, as the Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius wrote, simply have their allotted periods in the drama of existence. The Roman orator Cicero, however, finally accepted personal immortality. St. Augustine of Hippo, following Neoplatonism, regarded human beings’ souls as being in essence eternal.”

It's simply to identify the source of poison, and thus to refrain from imbibing, although an occasional indulgence in the source, for medicinal purposes, does eventually lead to a numbing sort of immunity to manifestations of toxic bitchocity.
You need to keep your toxic poisonous thoughts to yourself…and control your urges to detox yourself all over women as if you needed to exert some kind of power over them in your own insecure weakness as a man, perhaps take a leaf out of ICs book….Calling a woman a toxic bitch is a hateful emotion which you seem to be a hopeless blithering slave to.
Mind you, IC must by now have many indentations on his tongue …After all, he’s just a man.
Re: Atman
Empirical observation is an illusion.
Atman/soul is a fictional passage from out of a story book specifically generated for adult children to pacify and entertain them for vanity and self indulgent pleasure.
In reality no such story exists.

Re: Atman
Toxic thoughts should be kept private.
Please try to refrain from poisoning your own sacred holy water. I know you hate imbibing your own waste products…you overshared it.
You stink, it’s a fact, thank fuck for holy water
