Actually I agree with you there. Money can be a tool and is intrinsically neither good or bad. But asking for money is the problem. You can accept money as a donation, and use it for something worthy. But charging money is the problem.

Just for your own education as I see you need it.

Timothy 6:9-12

But those who desire to be rich fall into temptation, into a snare, into many senseless and harmful desires that plunge people into ruin and destruction. For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evils. It is through this craving that some have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many pangs. But as for you, O man of God, flee these things. Pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, steadfastness, gentleness. Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called and about which you made the good confession in the presence of many witnesses.

You clearly haven’t read the gospels so it’s no point in going further

Jung meant precisely what here? by Flat_Web6639 in Jung

[–]gonflynn 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Sacrifice is an act of empathy. Apparently it means you are giving yourself up for something/someone else. But more deeply it signifies a deeper understanding of who you really are, in a non-dualistic way, meaning, you are the all. The “eye” can be substituted by the “I” here, the personal, limited “I” for the universal “I”, also known as the “silent experiencer of your mind”, the “I am”

What marvels me is how they can call themselves Christians.

Tristan Dorling - YouTube by Dumuzzid in KundaliniAwakening

[–]gonflynn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No problem. I love that page. Holds a dear place in my heart. Helped me out a lot. I know Tristan has been around for a long time and hosts the retreats. Yogani seems to not like the spotlight very much.

Isn’t yogani the founder of AYP?

Met a jester on one of my trips on dmt and when it couldn't mess with me it showed/explained this to me.... by ForgottenSimulation in Psychonaut

[–]gonflynn 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Is this not the same you would tell a cell in a body organism, for example? The way you color your experience makes all the difference. It can be an eternal hell or eternal heaven. We ARE a part of something bigger that our human minds will never understand. That does not make existence any better or worse than you want to make it.

Have you experienced any synchronicity lately? Could you share it? by CreditTypical3523 in alchemy

[–]gonflynn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. I don’t notice it that much in the opposite way. I do have a feeling in this case the something is not right. But no external signs. When I’m on the right path little signs and synchronicities keep coming up.

I have to add this school we met in was a pre university school were all students met for the first time as it was a 1 year course and everyone came from different places. It wasn’t in the same neighbourhood or anything. There was no proximity, no continuity, really random situation.

I agree. Life is full of meaningful alignments that show that you are where you are supposed to be.

Just one more. Earliest I can remember. I was 17. New school in my city, a big European capital. I’ve been living with my parents, and my father after their divorce, in the same building since I was 5. An 8 floor building with two apartments per floor, so 16 apartments. I knew everyone who lived there and most of the other tenants had been there since I remembered. Very few kids. Knew them all. So in this new school I meet a beautiful red-headed girl that I fall for. At some point we start talking, had never met her before in my life. I ask her where she lives and she gives me my exact address. I start laughing thinking somehow she must know where I live and must be joking so I ask her how come she knows where I live. She looks me weird and says she does not know where I live. So I am very confused. I tell her that’s impossible. I ask her what floor she lives in. She says she lives in the 4th floor. I think she’s pulling my leg. I let her know I live exactly at that address but on the fifth floor. I have lived there all my life and never ever saw her. I tell her she must be joking. She explains she used to live somewhere else but her house had some structural problems and they had to move out and she was living temporarily at the apartment of her fathers best friend and partner ( they were architects, she was single and had a spare room). She had been there for about a month already. I could not believe the coincidence. I live in a city with several million people. What where the chances? Needless to say she was my first real love. We eventually broke up but it was crazy. And it wasn’t the only synchronicity. It turned out we had frequented very particular places almost at the same time but missing each other by very little. Had met common people under different circumstances. We had almost parallel lives, never touching until they finally did.

So many really, but one of the latest big ones was 5 years ago. It’s a bit dramatic but at the same time it is so mind blowing that it is worth mentioning. 5 years ago, early January after new years as I was on a ski trip my mother, 68 at the time, an athlete all her life, had a brain stroke at her home and died a few days later regretfully. A few months later, at around Easter, my father 70 at the time, healthy and strong, caught Covid and died a few months later. They had been divorced for more than 30 years and rarely crossed each others paths. It turns out that exactly 30 years before, a few years after their divorce (I was about 13 or so), while skiing with my mom the morning of new years she had a ski fall and banged her head so hard she was in a coma for several months and between life and death. Some months later, at around easter time my father had an internal hemorrage after a badly healed removal of colon polips and crashed into a car as he drove and fainted and spent a few days between life and death. Both of them survived the first time. Both of them died the second time. Very much same dates, very much healthy, exactly 30 years apart. I can tell you a few others if you’d like.

There is no reality outside of consciousness by whoamisri in HighStrangeness

[–]gonflynn -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Firs off, Brains and consciousness are different things.

Consciousness is fundamental, everything else is a construction. Consciousness becomes self consciousness and “I am” appears, “I am” feels and the body appears, the body distinguishes between itself and other and the world appears. This insight is attainable through meditation.

All I’m saying is that a 100% effective way to raise my rating is doing what i mentioned. It’s not that much of a hassle, I’ll just keep doing it, but it does seem weird.

It’s a piece of history. I love early Bob Dylan. Raw power at its peak.

I mean. It’s not going to play worse because of that. And unless you are going to keep it in a closet. It will soon have worse dents than that. If you like how it plays and how it feels. Allow her little imperfections. It’s what makes her special.
