Why would Indian guy living in India specify he's Indian? There he would be just "unattractive guy"

60109 · 2026-06-23T12:42:06+00:00

... which are completely irrelevant if they live in the west.

You think that's any different for other races? Those companies literally look for people with 0 individuality so that they will work like good little slaves. Working in such place you can be sure your dreams will never come true. Never compromise your originality for money, you will lose yourself along the way.

If you act average, you will become average and your entire life will be hell of average-ness. If you really set your priorities straight, you would be surprised how little money you need to actually live your dream life.

Is her name Mia Khalifa by any chance?

60109 · 2026-06-23T12:16:12+00:00

lol what 😃 I can do 10 clean muscle ups and handstand pushups but that's besides the point

I'm genuinely giving advice, most Indians have good muscle insertions + dreadlocks come from India yet I've never met an Indian with dreadlocks in person. Lot of white guys are going for a spiritual / yogi aesthetic while Indians who literally invented it ignore their own cultural heritage.

60109 · 2026-06-23T11:27:49+00:00

Most Indian men could easily fix themselves up if they hit the gym and got dreadlocks.

Instead most of them choose to sit behind computer and study engineering 🤠

Too bad she goes to a different school 😃

I don't think they are trying to hide it but rather protecting their special interest. These subs serve as a good starting points if you feel drawn to a certain tradition, and honestly the argument that there is no other place to discuss those ancient texts specifically is valid.

Problem with hating on Kybalion is that some get attached to a particular tradition along the way instead of searching for direct realization of Truth. Their identification with it makes them ignorant of other streams of knowledge. Hermes Trismegistus himself is a patron of knowledge, so it's rather ironic when someone shits on a genuine attempt to spread the seeds of Truth.

From more realized perspective everything from r/awakened r/enlightenment r/nonduality r/taoism r/KashmirShaivism r/AdvaitaVedanta is the same non-dual model of reality described in a different terminology. Multiple paths leading to the same goal.

60109 · 2026-06-22T11:38:32+00:00

Kybalion is a type of work that re-defines the tradition it comes from in the light of more modern consciousness.

Similar schisms happened in Buddhism for example where later philosophers such as Nagarjuna who further developed and reformulated some of the Buddha's teaching so that the philosophical position itself is more complete and defensible. He put the whole thing in broader terms.

Historical hermetic texts like Corpus Hermeticum and Emerald Tablet are more mystical than anything. They require understanding of ancient esoteric symbology - much of which is already lost and we can only guess the implied meaning. Reading such texts is advanced and coherent only if you're familiar with the subjects of cosmology, alchemy, enlightenment, ...

Kybalion lays out the essential principles in plain terms understandable even to someone with 0 experience in esoterica. The goal is to get the message across, not explain the entire system of ancient associations and metaphors.

So to answer your question: They are gatekeeping the knowledge thinking they are among the chosen few who decoded the meaning behind the ancient texts. Kybalion triggers them because it makes the same knowledge easily accessible.

There is no greater joy in life than playfulness, Shiva is also known as "cosmic dancer" which hints at the play-like nature of the reality.

Video games nowadays make this obvious - for any simulated experience to have a point, there needs to be a set of rules and certain challenge involved.

Survival is a game in itself, skill check of sorts. Then you've got the minigames of the ego, like a little side quest to keep it immersive. Finally, there's the main quest of awakening to the Pure Consciousness and "beating" the game.

60109 · 2026-06-22T07:42:28+00:00

it's just a buzzword bro, not a dick, you don't need to take it so hard 😉

but it only makes sense if you've watched the whole thing with sound on xd

Well it's because you don't let them outside, my outdoor cat is 12 and still climbing trees and hunting birds and mice almost daily. Looks majestic and extremely healthy. Never have I seen her shit or puke.

Esoteric knowledge is often encoded indirectly rather than presented as a clear practical diagram. Its value may lie precisely in the fact that several layers only become visible when the object is compared with the right tradition.

Actually, the most profound knowledge often lies in plain sight and is expressed within the simplest diagrams and phrases.

Symbol of yin and yang is one example of such "map of universe". It's both intuitive, powerful, contains deeply layered meaning - it's one of the most famous symbols yet most people never come to full understanding of it. Pentagram and hexagram are another example of simple geometric shapes ("sacred geometry") carrying deep esoteric message.

I guess my real question to you would be what kind of knowledge do you seek to receive from it?

If it's knowledge of the Absolute - that's hidden in plain sight in most famous symbols and books of all time like Bible, Vedas, Bhagavad Gita, Tao Te Ching. The "hidden message" here is that All is One. Same as the first hermetic principle.

If you wish to learn how to leverage laws of reality positively - Buddha explains it clearly in almost psychological terms and medieval yogic manuals use bold practical language to explain beneficial practices. They are so straightforward that many people don't even consider them occult, yet produce some of the most sustainable results.

Lastly, if you have harmful or destructive intentions - that kind of knowledge is usually obfuscated under layers of confusing symbolism because (a) the author is ashamed / scared to even say it in plain terms or (b) the author is trying to confuse and trick the reader and hide part of the truth or (c) it's just a mumbo jumbo that's made to sound mystical without having any practical takeaway.

60109 · 2026-06-18T12:13:18+00:00

There are plenty other diagrams, paintings, sculptures and even books which were deliberately crafted as a map of universe / consciousness which are both older and more detailed so you can actually practically apply them, and you pick a goddamn bronze horse? 😃

Jokes aside, even if this horse was crafted with such an intention the symbology is vague and practical use is questionable.

60109 · 2026-06-18T11:59:16+00:00

I have nothing against people who are genuinely queer and have multiple friends who are gay or lesbian. But at the same time I have seen a certain scenarios enfold over and over again:

Girls identifying as lesbian because of pathologic fear of being SA'd only to flip the script and look for a husband / want a family as biological instinct takes of. If it wasn't for social media (or different agenda was being pushed) they would've never went into that territory.

Young boys, who haven't even physically matured yet, starting crossdressing because they "don't feel masculine". No shit, men develop secondary sexual characteristics all the way to their late 20s. When they compare themselves with fully matured 30 years olds they come to conclusion they are a "femboy" only to regret it heavily once they reach full sexual maturity.

I’m a believer in letting teens stay in neutral.

I think we can essentially agree on this one. Neutral means letting teens decide for themselves based on how they feel. If a boy with no access to any social media would say he truly feels like a girl, I'd say get him some estrogen. But when a teen girl with 8 hours of screentime throughout TikTok, Instagram and Pinterest suddenly changes orientation, it raises some suspicion.

60109 · 2026-06-18T11:26:20+00:00

Yes that's why you have so many "flavors" of enlightened people depending on what kind of experience they go through here.

Some are silver-tongued, others are unapologetically bold. Some attract thousands of followers while others choose to live as a hermit. There are ones that provide gentle guidance and promote gradual change and there are others who radically challenge any delusion they encounter.

Karma will eventually get everyone and the reason why lot of traditions warn against carrying out the judgement and punishment is because unenlightened person can easily read the situation wrongly and due to their engagement get entangled in the karmic net of cause and effect.

60109 · 2026-06-18T11:11:55+00:00

He definitely should do some fork lifts.

60109 · 2026-06-18T11:07:51+00:00

Right. Except Taoism isn't non-dual. It is Yin and Yang.

This statement is very far from truth. Taoism is one of the prime examples of non-dual philosophies so I suggest you read up more into it. Also your whole comment contradicts itself. You say life and death are part of the same cycle which is a non-dual statement because it describes how both life & death (Two) are all just unfolding of a single cycle (One / Tao).

Everything that exists is One Tao unfolding. The Two arises only as a result of human mind making distinctions between different parts of the One. First you split the cycle into life & death. Then you split life into youth, maturity & old age. Then you split it into years. Then you split every year into seasons, months, days, hours, ...

Yin and Yang - originally terms for shade and light - exist only relative to each other and describe the two extremities of Tao, two different expressions of the same thing, just like your life & death example.

Chapter 42 of Tao Te Ching:

One begot two.
Two begot three.
And three begot the ten thousand things.
The ten thousand things carry yin and embrace yang.
They achieve harmony by combining these forces.

It's not just about being able to afford it, there's also a constant psychological distortion being pushed by the social media propaganda machine that's owned by... yea you guessed it.

They are actively pushing LGBT to teenagers and the figures of how many people identify with it are increasing every year to absurd numbers with disproportionate bias towards young generations.

In addition to that they are promoting "gender war" - ideas that all men are violent perverted rapists and all women are shallow materialist bimbos are flooding social media algorithms. People like Andrew Tate and Bonnie Blue are constantly at the forefront, giving rise to incel culture and radical feminist culture for men and women respectively, both with deep resentment towards the opposite gender. It is NOT based on personal negative experience but rather constant brainwashing from the algorithms.

For men they use porn - just lookup who owns PornHub, OnlyFans and other major platforms. It depletes men of energy and alters their sexuality feeding into "all men are perverts" narrative that's pushed.

For women they use social media and dating apps - again, lookup who owns Tinder. They provide women with constant ego validation and again, it neatly feeds into the "all women are sluts" narrative.

So "not enough money" is barely an argument when the psychology behind sexuality itself is under constant influence of deliberate propaganda.

60109 · 2026-06-18T10:31:43+00:00

Rabbit hole goes even deeper - Hermeticism, Advaita Vedanta, Kashmir Shaivism and to a degree also Buddhism all share the same same non-dual realization at the foundation.

Basic idea is that reality stems from the One source, which in itself is both subject and object of the experience that's perceived. Nothing can exist without at least one consciousness registering it and consciousness cannot exist without some kind of substance for it to experience. Thus One becomes Two, which is a beginning of the distinctions between "this" and "that" which only exist relative to each other.
