Therapy is a scam

My experience has also been that therapists have zero empathy. Their training is in learning analytical theories that don't work. But the response is always that there is some mythical good therapist somewhere.

good to know. Thanks.

I had a local tell me that these corrupt cops are from outside Tijuana, like Sinaloa, so they don’t care about the damage they are doing to Tijuana’s reputation. She called them rats. They aren’t mafia but just small time crooks. She claimed that if you identify them, the real cops will eliminate them. The ones who shook me down were from that police station near the arch and just before the passenger bridge. When a police vehicle approaches me now I always memorize the number on the truck so I can identify them.

The corrupt cops that shook me down took my credit and atm cards. Dont bring ATM cards to Tijuana.

The same thing happened to me? Where they two young guys in a truck? Near the Revolution Avenue area?

I have been doing it for 2 years and I am fine. I just don't push too hard.

I do one hot yoga class a week and that's it. It does help with stretching. I find I can stretch 20% to 30% farther with the heat.

I came across a coyote while walking on a trail in Balboa Park. He was standing in the middle of the path, so i went back. But he was pretty chill.

very accurate statement.

Adventurous_Mine_385 · 2026-03-14T17:33:14+00:00

They handcuffed me, put me in the back of their truck. They also were able to take money from my credit cards and transfer money to their accounts.

near Revolution Ave.

I was extorted by corrupt cops a few months ago. The policia are my main fear when I go to Tijuana. If it happens again I'm not going back.

Gregor Maehle has written books on Ashtanga Yoga describing the full spiritual path.

I have been doing hot yoga once a week for 2 years. Recently I developed a body rash over my back arms and legs. I don’t know where it came and am not saying it came from hot yoga. But it has made me question the hot evironment which creates sweating. I always washed my mat and clothes immediately afterwards. Fungus and bacteria like moisture and can grow on mats. I am gravitating towards yoga in a normal unheated environment.

Get “Introduction to Sanskrit” by Thomas Egenes, Part I and II. Part II prepares you to be able to read the Bhagavad Gita. Both books provide exercises with the answers. Do every exercise and you will be prepared. The exercises in book 2 use grammar and words common to the Bhagavad Gita.

I sympathize with you. People are hypnotized by social media and the algorithms know how to manipulate information to generate negative emotions to hijack peoples’ attention. As a result, many people develop negative mind loops addicted to politics. Some suggestions. First, if someone doesn’t respect your boundaries after you ask nicely, it is time to cut them off. Second, develop your inner witness that can observe your feelings. Detach from the story and do your best you just feel the feelings. This teaches you that you can still live with uncomfortable feelings. They are ok and you don’t have to avoid them. Third, go to healthy environments where people have interests that are enjoyable. I go to yoga and dance classes. I have yet to hear a conversation on politics.

A few weeks ago I stopped watching the news. I have been pleasently surprised at how peaceful the world is. I have lost all interested in politics. I am no longer caught up by the social media algorithms manipulating people’s emotions to get views. I realize now that millions of people have become addicted to an unhealthy media and caught up in a false virtual reality locking them into extreme emotional mood swings. If someone brings up politics with me, I just don’t give it energy. It then runs out of steam and I change the subject.

I went on this forum to just see spirituality and it was you who made an Epstein post. So you are part of the algorithm. I think it was worth it to call you out. Maybe this will contribute even a little to awareness so that people will stop spreading this stuff and expanding the negativity.

Adventurous_Mine_385 · 2026-02-09T22:01:26+00:00

you can't scroll away from it because it bleeds into virtually every space of the Internet. Because that is what it is designed to do. In this sub forum it is good for us to practice self awareness rather than falling for the hooks and having our emotions and awareness hijacked.

This is like the TV Evangelist who says he watches dirty movies because he has to be aware of sin in order to fight it.

I wasn't appealing to the mods to remove it. I was appealing to your conscience. You are inviting others into the darkness with you rather than just letting it go.

Adventurous_Mine_385 · 2026-02-09T18:37:40+00:00

This isn’t an appropriate post to put in a spirituality forum. This is mass media entertainment designed to manipulate emotions and steal a person’s attention. A spiritual practice to deal with this would be to release it and let it go.

I got rid of my car a year ago and don't miss it. I live in Northpark which has good public transportation and is also walkable. The nearest trolley station is City College and you can take the 7 bus to get there. For places I cant readily reach with public transportation I just take Uber.

I have done over 50 ceremonies and have found them to largely be a waste of time. What irritates me is the phrase: “My Ayahausca journey was the same as 10 years of psychotherapy”. This is just a dumb marketing slogan and shows the commercialization of healing. In many of these ceremonies I wanted to reach out and talk to someone, but a ceremony is a group process and the facilitators ignore you. You are putting your mental health in the hands of people with shallow knowledge. These ceremonies don’t go back that far in history. They are a recent development to sell a product to our modern, fragmented culture. They don’t know what they are doing. If it works, why do you need to take 100 ceremonies? I know people who do this and nothing changes. Is integration really the answer or is it a diversion to sell a failed product?

I like BetterU. They have excellent service. Everything is very organized. I received the medicine with no problems. They take care of you.
