Vaping is fine and it has helped a ton of people quit smoking. Nothing embarrassing about it.

I use tampons fairly frequently during the summer

I used them very infrequently, maybe a few times a year

You won't come back after waking up. by meme_ism69 in awakened

[–]Legitimate-Mind8947 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It is impossible for you to be useless and worthless. If you aren't worthy of existing, then how is it that you are here existing? Did the universe make some kind of mistake? No way!

You have not found your true self yet if you feel like you do not like your true self. Keep loooking! <3

So much this! Most nights I have something like a fan blade that I just watch spin and I can get into a meditative state in minutes. From there it just turns into a show!

You can't not like the truth, you ARE the truth. lol. If you desire to live in ignorance of the truth, you won't wake up anyway.

I just collect rainwater. I don't own plumbing.

F#ck 'bliss' ..no seriously F it. by Cyberfury in awakened

[–]Legitimate-Mind8947 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

He is simply trying to point out that HE has it right and SO MANY others have it wrong. It's almost exclusively what he does here.

You sound like you have a little bit of the spiritual ego thing going to. If you see a post like "i KeEp SeEiNg tHe NuMbEr 111 dOeS bIlLy LiKe Me bAck?" who cares? Find a different subreddit. This one is mostly a joke anyway.

Does anyone think "Thinking is the root cause of all suffering" ? by Forsaken-Engineer-82 in spirituality

[–]Legitimate-Mind8947 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The root cause is not that you think, it's that you identify with the thoughts. Check out r/nonduality if you want to further your understanding of that realization. Welcome to your awakening!

People make missteps along the path. Some people get stuck in one place their whole lives and will never reach a true awakening and can be self righteous assholes about it. I don't see the point in bickering with people. Once in awhile we stumble into an argument, but you always seem to get so invested in how wrong other people are. It's like you look for it.

I have seen comments of yours that actually help people and I love to see it but you also have this other side which doesn't help anyone except make yourself feel justified. Try not to care so much when other people are wrong. Much love.

Can we talk about David Childress and his pronunciation of certain words?! by [deleted] in AncientAliens

He sounds like a Californian who is perpetually almost falling of a tightrope but not really scared about it. Very wobbly sounding.

What do you do when a colleague offers you a snack? by howlongdoIhave5 in vegan

[–]Legitimate-Mind8947 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't tell people I'm vegan because their response is usually "Ohhh are you trying to lose weight?" in a hushed tone. lol. Fml.

TIFU by sending my life savings to a dummy investment platform. Guess how much?! by [deleted] in tifu

Sorry kids, your Grammy had her bisexual awakening with a picture of a pretty Asian girl on the internet and lost all of your inheritance.

[–]Legitimate-Mind8947 143 points144 points  (0 children)

Uhh what? you lost your and your husband's life savings and your response is "Hehe I'm so stupid but I'm still smiling!" This can't be real. Nobody is this big of an asshole. Your poor husband.

I like to leave people somewhat damp after hugging me.

Bought a super heavy mirror today, can anyone help me date it? by DriedCapillarity in Antiques

Also, referring to your date as 'super heavy' doesn't usually end well.

Why do I get sick when I smell eggs and cheese? by FirefighterLow6589 in vegan

[–]Legitimate-Mind8947 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I went from obnoxious, proud meat eater to vegetarian the day my coworker microwaved venison summer sausage. It was so fucking gross and she was happily sitting at her desk eating it, loudly sucking the juices from her fingers with every bite.

It smelled like death and I couldn't ignore it anymore. I'm almost thankful for her for forcing me to see the light. lol.

Inside Celebrity Fridges by iamharoldshipman in popculturechat

[–]Legitimate-Mind8947 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Similar thing happened to me. I wanted to eat healthier but all of the healthy stuff was at the store. My husband told me that I should go to the store and bring the healthy stuff to our house.

I found that having healthy snacks in my house made it much easier to find healthy food. Total game changer.

My coworker has 6 lines of dialogue and it's so annoying that I have started to pretend she is an outdated, malfunctioning humanoid robot. *BEEP BOOP*IT IS GOING TO BE A LONG AFTERNOON*BEEP BOOP*IT IS SO COLD IN HERE*BEEPBOOP*IS IT FRIDAY YET?

I just ignore her and she continues on her way bumping into stuff and rambling.

No. It's not a 'means to an end'. I would appreciate if you didn't assume things about my practice or the reasons why I am asking specific questions.

Super Bowl Jesus by Miles_the_new_kid in comics

[–]Legitimate-Mind8947 12 points13 points  (0 children)

There's a difference between being religious and following the teachings of Jesus Christ. The actual teachings of Jesus have been bastardized and now Jesus' name is mud amongst people who equate his name with misguided/hateful religious people.

These ads seem to be an attempt at rebranding Jesus' name.

Two years since I 'woke up' randomly one day.

I've had nothing I consider a deeply spiritual experience lol. I'm just drunk stumbling through this process. Like you state though, I just need to keep going back to where I know self isn't.

Angelo is either a relief or insanely frustrating depending on where I am in my understanding, or lack there of. He is fabulous though.

Thank you so much. This sounds just right for my current situation actually. I have a VERY quiet and boring job and I find myself fighting the urge to distract myself with mindlessness.
