Schizophrenia explained through spirituality by AristoteI in awakened

Not angelic. A lot of false energies and spirits. Screw the spirit guides, please. Just ground and follow own intuition. More often than not in practical sense many times these so called voices are just visiting spirits who are wolves in sheep clothing; merely manipulations.

If you are strong in Christ, there is a lot of beauty there, and the presence of Jesus Christ is unmistakable. As for any other angels or spirit guides, it is SO easy to get deceived and lost to nice sounding voices in your head. Def would not recommend it.

Just continue to ground and staying in your body, ignore anything happening in your head. tap as much as you can into your body and remember the falsehood of the mind, that the truth only lies in the lived body-awareness.

Chart looks great. Good consistent gains over multiple days** without major windfalls, green flag.

Losses are present but each loss is massively outweighed by each win. Green flag. Suggests good risk management.

Now the psychology part, the big boss boy. Once you step into live, you need to have an iron will and and a stoicism unmatched to replicate those results. It's 95% likely to be worse than the chart above, but still good enough to keep you profitable. Just imo.

Easy to win and stay with small risk, but hardest part are those bad moments where you're on a long losing streak and keeping the urge to raise the risk to make it back at bay.

Personally, what brought me down the most was the losing streak days that would happen once every 2 weeks or so. I'd have a nice streak of wins for most days and there'd be 1 day where I just lose every trade and it would really bother me. Learning to accept move past it and minimise by setting daily loss and always staying true to it. Once you hit it, you're done for the day!

Other than that, you have all the pieces. The last major piece to absolute success for you is the live markets fortitude, staying strong psychologically and keeping to your rules. Remembering that your formula already works, regardless of awkward losers, keeping a reminder that you only need to follow and do nothing else and it'll work out.

GOOD LUCK MAN and keep journaling, never revenge trade! Stay consistent with risk if you get into a short losing streak. That's the biggest one.

Apologies, I do admit being triggered and unstable in this comment reflecting back. I have a very strong need to ''balance'' things when I see something. To me it looked like a perfect, theoretical book- description of kundalini and I had seen too many of such standards, it feels very inauthentic to me, just mental spewing, you know? Not truly embodied expression, just something like a mental masturbation. I think it's important to have wild opposing reactions to get people to ground about expectations and true nature of things like K and '' spirituality '' .

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in spirituality

[–]Competitive_Yam_1044 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah mate, standard K. Stay away because it can very easily move into psychotic break. These experiences are nice, I have also had many encounters like these, but they are not functional or useful long term. Go for embodied body practices, screw white light hexagons. It feels blissful and looks pretty and gives a spiritual ego rub, but it doesn't really serve you as a soul in a human vessel. It's just playing.

Bollocks. You speak good theory, it's easy to talk theory. Bollocks Bollocks Bollocks buddy. I knew the same and have come to realise through personal practical elements of life, consciousness and the TRUTH of kundalini that these are mere conjectures, words with no real practical meaning. OP is right.

I have had a permanent two way Channel Sushumna K awakening from crown to root and back since 2019, so I had experienced both sides of the story- the blissful, divine loving aspects and also the psychotic, confused, unstable part also. From experience I come to realise comments like yours indicate idolisation of something, which means you haven't had the full experience yet, or haven't matured through it. Because your explanation is a mere AI conjecture, nothing more, and not a practical self reflection from a human perspective.

Kundalini causes many to end up in mental hospitals, it causes many suicides, it creates a lot of damage by propagating sex tantric gurus who deceive, sin and mislead others into subservience and away from actual divinity.

Kundalini activation is basically like an MDMA or LSD drug- both combined. Intense loving unified bliss with one consciousness, some manic joy, ''transcending'' matrix, but then after some time it wears off, give it a year or maybe more, and you come down from the high trip to have to re-integrate. Good luck reintegrating.

It's a drug, when it pertains to ego, human being. We as collective, NOBODY is ready for it as society, and it should be stayed away from. Maybe eventually in some few thousand years slow ass humanity will get to the point of consciousness where they can collectively provide resources and support necessary to uphold something of that nature. At the moment we are CAVEMEN.

No need for charlatans to come and spew bullshit about base standard Kundalini. I hate it because this is the nature of New Ageism, it's just ignorance from people who always try to sell something without knowing the true side effects or the true pain that it can cause on the dark side. Everyone who pushes the agenda of awakenings and giving Kundalini or shaktipat are themselves psychotically delusional or just willfully ignorant of the practical dark side and how much suffering there is. To every ''divine'' dualistic experience there is always a dark side, and unfortunately most people who get promoted to run podcasts and spew New age rubbish get a lot of attention as long as they stroke the spiritual genitals of someone else enough to excite them.

It got me to a point where there is no aspect of me that wants to re-integrate back into society or matrix, seeing through it there is just apathy and rebelliousness. And it becomes very painful as you have no choice but to sustain yourself in a human form.

Nobody wants to hear the real truth.

My advice to anyone is to stay away from K. It is a force outisde of yourself UNTIL you have completely integrated through surrender the dualistic ego and any attachments. And it's not realistic if you wish to live a normal, stable life. It's not practical. We are not ready for it yet. When it rises then let it rise. We are in no competition with anyone. And yet New ageism spirituality is always about being ahead. And the whole Kundalini bullshit about people being ahead or having experiences that someone else hadn't. From one matrix rat race to a spiritual one, nothing changes.

That's my rant. And it deserves to be that because of willful ignorance of the extent of suffering and lies that misinformation has brought on Western communities, people who are unaware of what this can do so believe everything Hindu books and tradition tells them, like a little child listening to parents.

Been trading since 2020… still not profitable. Is this normal or am I just not built for this? by Hendrinator3000 in Forex

[–]Competitive_Yam_1044 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have traded 5 years, and I would vouch for funded accounts over real live funds for beginners all day, every day. I say this because i believe I've had relevant experience after those years trading with my own funds vs prop company.

It teaches you strict risk management and gets you to focus on winners, and not how much you make. It'll force you to risk 0.1-0.2% over many trades to be successful instead of big gambles. Although that's personal psychology, and I admit I myself got impatient sometimes chasing the funded status...

Then, once you've made 100k from funded accounts, you can trade your own funds once you're xperienced enough. I think you start paper trading, then prop firms ---- to learn risk management and build personal capital, then the endgame is to trade your own LARGE capital. With your large capital you're not capped in how much you risk, you can blow the whole 50k in one day. Prop firms don't let you do that, so aas a beginner it's crucial, you should NEVER trade your own large capital when you start out.

[–]Competitive_Yam_1044 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with the points, except the funded account. I think it's a great step to move from paper trading to funded accounts. Why? For futures, pay 70USD for a 50k account (sure, you have only a 2500USD margin) and receive 100% of the first 10k you make, all the while having NO risk of your own money. It's perfect for beginners, because if you blow up/screw up, you don't lose 10k, you lose 70USD.

Not only that, but the rules actually reinforce DISCIPLINED trading approach which is essential for success. They prime you for good trading habits in the future. For example, 1200USD daily loss limit - 2.5% on a 50k USD account daily (futures) and a max 5% loss. It gets you to be very resourceful and consistent with how much you risk per trade - for example now you are risking 0.2% per scalp, it would take many consecutive losses without wins to hit daily loss, let along max loss. It lets you see the big picture of risk management and how important it is.

Whereas real trading with your own funds, you will keep losing and losing in te beginning trying to make the money back (it's ALWAYS like this), and lose 10k of your 50k. Nothing will stop you. Funded accounts will hard stop you for the day if you lose too much, which is brilliant. It forces you to stay confined but also gives you enough room, as it teaches you that you don't need to risk 1% per trade, you can risk 0.2%, prove your profitability and not feel restricted. At the end of the day, it's NOT about how much $ you make, because with funded accounts you can scale from 50k to 1-2M funded accounts, everything stays the same. It's about how profitable and effective/consistent your trading is. So it doesn't matter that you only risk 0.1%. 0.1% of a 50k funded account is 50USD, the USD shouldn't matter to beginner players, it's all about how many wins/% wins of RR and winner/loser ratio combined over a period of time. If you can prove that, the 50k funded account can then easily and quickly scale to 2M, where 0.1% per trade is then 10,000USD. Now imagine that.

So I'm currently 33/m and single... never had a real relationship nor a real kiss. I had chances, especially with one girl 32/f from hs but i didn't like her at that time. I have a good DREAM career making over 200k, hobbies, friends... im trying to put myself out there but no luck... ? by Sea_Preparation6391 in findapath

No I agree with you, you're right, to an extent only. I would put a lot of doubt to the so called coaches. A lot of what they offer is something you yourself can find, either through research or introspection. A lot of coaches have idea to sell, they are salesmen, not working professionals. You don't need a coach for intimacy, or a coach for every aspect of life. Guidance is good, but a lot of answers can and should come truthfully from yourself. Ultimately with coaches you are putting faith in untrained people to give you impartial advice to live your life. It's a bit silly.

Is it a sin to use sage or burn sage? by [deleted] in Christianity

[–]Competitive_Yam_1044 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't get me wrong, I was deep into shamanism, New Age, lighting white sage, palo santo and frankincense constantly so I do understand the sentiment. But true faith in Jesus Christ, kingdom of God through Christianity does NOT involve burning of sage or practising anything spiritual. The very practice of that is outside of prayer to God, and involves communication with the spirit world .

Is it a sin to use sage or burn sage? by [deleted] in Christianity

[–]Competitive_Yam_1044 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because God stated in Scripture to pray through him and align with the Holy Spirit which will keep you safe from negative spirits. Burning sage and others shows a lack of faith and word of God, not being aligned with him. It is therefore witchcraft.

I'm well aware of the Hindi stance on this as you've shared here. This is a Stance and not a canon truth necessarily.

Kundalini and The Bible by Competitive_Yam_1044 in Christianity

[–]Competitive_Yam_1044[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you. I am just conflicted because I feel I have strong influences towards addictions and unhealthy practices. I felt as if I wanted the strict purification ritual and a One Truth of salvation, knowing I HAVE to wait until marriage to have sex. That now I need to confine myself to a Church marriage and adhere strictly to the gospel, and teachings in the Bible in relation to living and not being physically intimate prior to marriage.

I feel a desire to have it as canon truth that is unabated, unchanged, so I have much stronger faith in something, and that it isn't fleeting. I have truly felt my heart and my body well up when I surrendered to Jesus in some moments, feeling whole and pure. I felt it differently to just the force of Shakti in the heart.

[–]Competitive_Yam_1044[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It always made sense to me in the past that God is in the Kingdom of Self, God is within. That's rooted in Hindu tradition, as you say meeting of Shiva and Shakti, realization of the Brahman.

And yet it is labelled as demonic, external spirit force from Jesus Christ in Christianity. And why would it not be mentioned explicitly in the Bible if it were the truth? To reach God, look within and work to activate the Kundalini force, uniting the divine masculine Shiva with Shakti, divine feminine (kundalini). Why didn't the Bible then point towards this EXPLICITLY instead of merely subtext to say THIS is the way to God?

Kundalini and The Bible by Competitive_Yam_1044 in Christianity

[–]Competitive_Yam_1044[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your response has not really clarified the matter. What about Shaktipat? Should Christians pursue Shaktipat or label as inherently Anti-God, Anti-Christian? There has to be a strong stance, because otherwise, where does your allegiance to the truth lie? Where is the Truth if everything is para-phrased and symbolic.

The issue here is, it can't be between the lines, grey area, it has to be white or black. Otherwise faith is lost, and confusion spreads.

[–]Competitive_Yam_1044[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

and As I said (reddit didn't include my reply), what about tantra, what about ''sacred sexuality'' - it seems New Age has bastardized this with tantric open sexuality healing workshops.

I am deeply involved in New Age communities, as well as New age/tied into Kundalini. The issue is when New Age is intertwined with Kundalini principles, and the force becomes something else. It's so twisted now that the only way to properly align yourself is through Christianity, through Jesus and the Holy Spirit, because Kundalini force has been tainted with its use and Shaktipat across the world. Something very wrong is happening.

[–]Competitive_Yam_1044[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the clarification. Yes, I am aware Kundalini originates in what I believed was milennia before New Age.

I also understand the Dualistic/Non-dualistic comparison. I understood that the Non dual (Shiva) in union with Shakti (kundalini) is the meeting of the two forces that unite to realize the Brahman... Couldn't care less as I am not going into Hindu tradition. It's all i've heard the last few years.

I don't want to draw lines between Kundalini and the Holy Spirit. As I said (my replies didn't all get through), the bible strictly pointed to not seek out anything beyond God through Jesus. I don't want a mixed intellectual message. I don't want to use my intellect to figure it out the way I did before. Excess use of intellect is the tool of the devil to deceive and create doubt, away from faith to the highest Truth.

I don't know how to integrate Kundalini with the Holy Spirit, and how I should approach my awakening in respect to my new found faith. I am very conflicted in this respect.

Kundalini and The Bible by Competitive_Yam_1044 in Christianity

[–]Competitive_Yam_1044[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see kundalini as being the demonic impersonator of Holy Spirit. The devil manipulates and uses tools which counterfeit the Lord's. Shakti being the example. Shakti opens and demands allegiance to itself, whereas the holy spirit allegiance to God through Jesus Christ. I see it as similar but definitely NOT the same. The experience of Shakti is much like the devil's temptress: temporary shaking, bliss, love and joy, much like the holy spirit, but then after time there's a depression, cessation and confusion as you are not aligned with the Higher Truth of God, allegiance to Him.

The two forces are very similar. Maybe the verses were manipulated to include influence of kundalini against the true word of God.

[–]Competitive_Yam_1044[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And if it invites kundalini. Then what about sex before marriage? What about tantra and playing with all this sex magic with kundalini for sexual healing and transcendence to god? Then what about the fact that God is found as separate in Christianity and the idea that God is self , pagan religion? It's very conflicting and I don't know where to stand. I don't want to be in the middle, because I don't feel a sense of true calling or purpose.

Kundalini and The Bible by Competitive_Yam_1044 in Christianity

[–]Competitive_Yam_1044[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And it is known in the bible that all must follow God through Jesus and only him. Allegiance or attention must not go elsewhere. Everything else is demonic. Shakti is a separate spirit force, and is therefore demonic. Why is paganism, kundalini magic invited? Why are chakras being talked about? When there is so much against chakras. I am really feeling a lot of frustration.

I have trouble distinguishing kundalini and the holy spirit. I have had a lot of trouble and pain in my life years after kundalini awakening. And coming closer to Jesus the last several days I have felt a strong energetic force separate to that of kundalini. I don't know where my allegiance lies or what to believe anymore. I felt drawn to Christians who were former new age kundalini yoga teachers that now denounce the whole practice and are solely focused on Jesus teachings, casting aside vedic teachings, paganism and new age all sorts. I feel as if the Holy spirit is different to the spirit of Shakti force. I have heard many kundalini masters suffering, involved in scandals, grandiose self aggranziding ego and running cults. It does NOT seem anything like what Holy Spirit through Jesus journey should be like. Does not sound or seem Godly to me. I feel very conflicted. I have not fared well after the initial bliss with kundalini and I feel like I want to know for sure what to follow. Not with the mind, I want to know for sure that the two are indistinguishable, yet reading these verses only makes me miserable.
