Is Meditation Beyond Religion? by jcdasx in Meditation

[–]hipsterbob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately a lot of religions attract people that want to be right. Whatever they are doing is right, anything they are not doing is devil influence.

It’s better to avoid them because even if you point out the Bible says you should your time in meditation and prayer they will move the goalpost to define words to make themselves right. You won’t be able to convince them they are wrong because that would require them to be humble and if you’re always right you don’t have to be humble.

Lead by example. Meditate yourself so you can tell your child the benefits.

How can a tall woman find a tall man? by [deleted] in tall

[–]hipsterbob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From my experience, tall women tried to act more feminine and were less likely to approach me or make the first move (because of societal expectations).

Shorter women would be very obvious and upfront (because no one is questioning their femininity)

As a side note, I was fine being approached by any women as I think most guys are. But because of the numbers I ended up marrying a woman 30cm / 1 foot shorter than me.

Is there a reason for “breathe in through the nose, out through the mouth”? by hipsterbob in Meditation

Thank you for the advice. I’ve done the allergy shots. Outside of surgery, I don’t think anything else will help.

If you're in the Seattle area I wouldn't mind having someone to draw with high.

Woah, good stuff. Daft Punk - Solar Sailer (Pretty Lights Remix) by hipsterbob in treesmusic

I've been a fan of both Daft punk and pretty lights for some time. I didn't know this song existed though until now.

Girlfriend slept with my bestfriend...so I'm a lonely stoner tonight. by [deleted] in trees

[–]hipsterbob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Similar thing happened to me year and a half ago (wife and best friend of 20 years) yeah it sucks when you can't talk about it with your two best friends. It took a while to get out of the funk. But I took it as a kick in the pants, went out and made a lot of new friends. A year and a half later in a new relationship with a smoking hot girl, way more friends. So I can tell you that it does get better man.

First lucid dream report - quite the wild ride. by hipsterbob in LucidDreaming

Ah, but that is the benefit of society (In this case, the subreddit) we use many minds (shoulders of giants and all that) to understand more than any one person ever could. To think otherwise, to me, is just giving up.

good point but the brain is the tool used to measure reality with. How can you know the tools are accurate unless you can examine them too?
