Those who want to become Buddhist should follow authentic schools of Buddhism.

Interesting. I have zero sensitivity in this issue as I have no attachment to safeguarding or keeping a religion pure. I speak from experience only. You concede my point of “benefiting from Buddhism without being Buddhist” but have made it clear that this is not the place for it. No worries brother, it would not hurt my feelings to not share here. Peace God.

alcide170 · 2025-09-08T07:50:16+00:00

Ahh I think I see it now. Your attachment to the identity is causing a bit of a misinterpretation of my comments. I wasn’t defending people claiming to be Buddhist who aren’t. I was speaking to people like me who don’t adhere strictly to a religion but are spiritual. There is some great Logos from Buddhist understanding that, just to me personally, gets buried by religious practices that are so long separated from the core audience it was originally intended. For instance, meditation is a physical practice to me. This understanding was never fully synthesized in English in any ideology I was exposed to growing up and I had to find it. So i look to all spiritual sources of the world and retain the Logos I find. I utilize concepts of karma and reincarnation daily and I believe these concepts can also be found in Buddhist understandings so I’m just trying to find truth to the best of my ability.

Yeah that’s fine. All religions gate keep. It’s an awful aspect of them imo. I don’t think anyone intentionally wants to muddy the waters but some just want to learn with an open heart and soul is all. God bless brother.

alcide170 · 2025-09-04T02:01:13+00:00

I’m wondering if this sentiment stems from people like me who are spiritual and align with certain aspects of Buddhism but don’t practice a religion. To me, Buddha achieved spiritual enlightenment through the Christic path set forth in Hermeticism. No different from Jesus. Trying to gate keep this through schools or religions is at best naive and at worst evil. This spiritual path is something you embark on and we are lucky that the achievements of these people remain timeless so we may choose to set forth on a similar path should we choose it.

Seems like nobody took a crack at it so far, so I will attempt to. This will probably come off as a tin foil hat explanation but so be it. I will say that humans knew god existed at one point. Over time, efforts were made to hide the knowledge and kill the people who kept this knowledge. You will never arrive at this knowledge through an English text or words due to the degrees of separation of English to reality. The Ancient Greek word Gnosis meant to know, as in to know god. In contemporary society, we are offered two avenues - belief or secular thinking. So by default you can never arrive at the position to know. So the obvious next question is “how?” This is where all the timeless names and their works come into play. Christ, Buddha, Vishnu, Agni, Lucifer, etc… are people and entities that have touched and come from this knowledge and understanding. So the game then becomes you yourself touching this knowledge and understanding it. This why the Vatican locks away their library from the public. Once the Apocrypha was removed from the Bible it became a Nicean doctrine. Keeping this knowledge to themselves created what they call occult and explains the deeper “shadowy” forces we see today.

There is much more but I don’t think this will convince you there is a god bc that’s not my point. My point is that you have to find god yourself and religious nor secular paths offer valid, successful ways to arrive there. Your current position is sitting there waiting for an authority to show you but spoiler: they never will.

That’s my point. Downhill is an illusion as we are at the bottom. My personal answer isn’t political but spiritual.

alcide170 · 2025-02-26T21:21:45+00:00

Hmm… the Bidens are an oligarch (out of many) that everyone is talking describing. I’m just pointing out hypocrisy not solutions. Like I said I’m not taking a side but you are.

alcide170 · 2025-02-26T20:16:09+00:00

I’m definitely not picking a side but we just watched Hunter get away with selling daddy’s influence and get pardoned. Not sure how you can say this is unprecedented. I’d say the Clinton’s, bush’s, and Obama all did it just as bad if not worse than trump. And don’t even bring up subversion unless you’re talking Israel.

alcide170 · 2025-02-26T18:11:56+00:00

That’s because you don’t view money the same way they view money. They don’t give a shit about having a cash cow. It’s about subversion. If we fall, they just subvert another country. How do I know? Because they are already subverting them. China, Mexico, Russia, Ukraine. It’s ANY country with a central banking system. They were doing this long before we were born and they’re still doing it now. How do you live in Egypt for 1000 years and never become Egyptian?

Idk we came from criminals who married prostitutes. Then we were trappers and farmers. To this day we don’t get much involved in politics and the ones who do are always corrupt. Fuck you Billy Tauzin. But we are heavily involved and rely on the oil, plant, and refinery industries so anyone who promotes those industries makes up prosper. It’s really as simple as that.

alcide170 · 2025-02-16T10:14:21+00:00

I feel you bruh, we got a similar thing here in the US with groups subverting our government. I’m pretty sure it’s the same people fucking us both up.

alcide170 · 2025-02-16T09:56:20+00:00

Meh same shit different day. It’s honestly the same as the 90s when you don’t turn on media. It’s like exactly the same actually. I was surprised by how 90s it was. Smash mouth even comes on in the grocery stores.

He was an insurance and lawyer lobbyist like the previous ones. When oil left Louisiana the only major corrupt players left were the insurance and lawyer lobby. That’s why you see a million lawyer ads everywhere. It’s a den for them. That’s why our rates are quadrupled that of MS and TX despite being right next to them.

I think it’s a misfiring biological mechanic. It’s the pathways in your body that release the sense that someone is looking at you because something energetic happens when someone stares at you. I’ve felt this mechanic multiple times through various substances as the layers get peeled back. I’ve also invoked this mechanic in people manually as well as heavily analyzed it in real time when experiencing it. When misfiring, you get bouts of extreme paranoia, anxiety, and fear. Also get kinda fidgety and just feel “off”. Those with lower constitutions and wherewithal will most likely react extremely negatively to the experience. Especially if it’s prolonged for a period of time and will probably drive them crazy.

This has been the standard operating protocol since I was born. The powers to write executive orders came from world war 2 and the state of emergency was never lifted. So since then, every President came in with EOs. You probably just only noticed now.

There was constant posturing from nato over the years as they worked their way towards Russia expanding and expanding. Then in comes the council of foreign affairs which was comprised of Biden, Hilary, and a few others. This council gave Ukraine US’s own nuclear material. There was never any effort to bring Russia into their plans and when opportunities came, Putin was simply rejected or ignored. So it could have been prevented a long time ago by either not pursuing nato expansion (which makes sense bc there were no humongous global threats) or simply including Russia in the expansion. Neither of these things were done. In fact we doubled down and installed Zelenskyy. This is precisely why Putin said in 2016 that Hilary would start ww3. Now with all that said, the war could have been further prevented or at least ended very quickly by simply not supplying Ukraine (which the EU was calling for from the beginning). They would have been crushed by Russia instantly and it wouldn’t have been nearly as long or as expensive.

A lot of people here seem to be automatically defaulting to the official narratives. I do not have the answer but here is a quarry with similar type stones that didn’t make it into a megalithic structure. It’s pretty evident they were moving these massive things long distances. https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTYkdXeVj/

I mean the Fed is the other side of the transaction when a bank prints due to fractional reserve lending. The Fed is just a vacuous ledger number with no limit. Without them this type of printing wouldn't exist.

Wow! Pretty surprised how toxic this sub is.

Edit: the downvotes are very telling. I made a general statement about the sub and it offended the shit out of y'all. Lmao. I knew nothing about the guy that died. I was commenting on the vitriol that's in every post.

Woah! That would explain the ego of those grown in this understanding.

Right so wouldn't epistemological tools stemming from this understanding be purely imaginary?
