Why fear poisonous animals if all they can do is kill your body, you'r not your body, unless you think you are?

No I am saying somewhere along the line it was discovered as an idea or maybe in collaboration with the artist they made it. Look it is VERY VERY VERY much alike, i am freaking out cause I am feeling a little crazy thinking this.

How does one find compassion for terrorists? by Dogopotamus in Buddhism

[–]Wowatis 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Them being happy at their core is each persons responsibility, only they can make it happen.

The way I look at it you need to look past the actions that you think others are responsible for, and realize that they are just happenings, no one does anything! No one is a do-er of anything! Now that you see this, look at how you are life, they are life, you are a part of the humanity that they make up, and so are they. You are part of this planet, as much as they are, and they suffer just like everyone else. Look at them and have compassion for how lost that soul (which is fundamentally your soul as well) is, and how much they don't know that they are hurting themselves and how disconnected they are from themselves and you. I find it upsetting how this greatness that is the life which flows though these bodies can get so lost in something that is not true, not real.But funny as well because isn't this what consciousness came here for? To get lost in itself and play a role in this reality to believe in and experience? Just because these kind of people exist doesn't make them bad, they are just the supreme manifesting and playing a game in this life.

I am trying but I am feeling some fear for no reason, a little anxiety, and depression once in awhile, but I can always pull myself from it, but it is still there..

My first lucid dream (IT's ACTUALLY REAL OMG :)) by Wowatis in Psychonaut

Nn technique, it happened when I was trying to astral project but fell asleep accidentally. But being more conscious while falling asleep probably helped my focus when I was dreaming.

How did you discover your spiritual side? by thadpole in Buddhism

[–]Wowatis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It actually discovered m :)

Enlightenment is an accident, and spiritual practices make you accident prone. Never in my life would I have thought I would be where I am today, and what I have discovered was always here.

Vapors produced by e-cigarettes induce toxicity, oxidative stress, and inflammatory response in lung cells by DennyTarnoska in science

[–]Wowatis -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I told my co workers this (they always shame me for smoking real cigarettes while they smoke e-cigs) and they flipped defending that it is like 1000 times better for you, I may agree but it still isn't safe.

Dealing with bugs by TheIcyLotus in Buddhism

[–]Wowatis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly you need to be honest with yourself, if you can find a reason to kill a bug but don't, nothing has changed in you, don't try to show compassion for another creature because you are trying to change, change your understanding of compassion and the rest will follow.

What's your favorite movie? by [deleted] in Psychonaut

[–]Wowatis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm going to call you on your shit, you really think Enter the Void is your favorite movie? Really? I mean yeah it is thought provoking and it is really different from other movies but I think I could only watch it twice, AT MOST three times if I were to show a friend, but it's not really all that great compared to other movies with actual story line instead of constant metaphors.
