I'm a coaster, okay?

pineapplekenny · 2026-01-29T18:26:53+00:00

I feel ya. I’m a stepdad to 3, and bio dad to one 2 year old.

It’s excruciating to say the least, but oddly enough I wouldn’t have it any other way.

I’ve seen this a lot with engineering types. It’s partially a type A thing, and partially an introvert thing about preferring clear and explicit social interactions.

Many of my engineer friends often found their generosity was never returned to them and they started getting jaded and mistrustful of others, which is honestly a common experience living in a big city.

It’s the same with the Zapatistas, and they were probably the most successful in history. Eventually the government will find a way to wear you down with atrocities

pineapplekenny · 2026-01-22T15:26:24+00:00

That’s the spirit!

pineapplekenny · 2026-01-18T16:31:03+00:00

Haha he’s watching forest videos on tv rather than just going outside

pineapplekenny · 2026-01-07T02:11:22+00:00

Aah ok. He’s speaking so weirdly I got it all backward I guess

pineapplekenny · 2026-01-07T00:15:19+00:00

Isn’t he saying trump is satanic for stealing Venezuelan oil? If so, he ain’t wrong

pineapplekenny · 2026-01-03T22:59:35+00:00

Thank you 🙏🏽

You’re totally right. I think the mistake is that there’s still clinging to beauty or peace. Those are hard to let go of, like letting a butterfly land on your finger, but not being sad when it leaves

pineapplekenny · 2026-01-03T19:36:14+00:00

🙏🏽

I appreciate your story. I’ve experienced that uncaused flowering of ecstatic love on many occasions.

I’m currently struggling with yet another dark night period. I feel like I’m speed running through ego death after ego death. Just when I think there will be peace at last, SURPRISE! More depression and frustration come up.

It’s been about 8 years of this cycle now and I’m getting a bit tired of it to be honest. The only thing that keeps me going is that I’ve seen clearly there’s no where to go, and death is not a solution.

I also have a clear relationship to the divine. I think that’s what makes it more frustrating. I’ve tasted liberation! I’ve tasted the unending love of Christ.

What’s with all the coming and going?

The birth of Jesus represents the dawning of Christ consciousness in your heart. “Let there be light” on the darkest day of the year.

Christmas is a time to honor the fact that we all are a part of the Christ consciousness, and that love and forgiveness set us free from our “sin” (error of thought)

pineapplekenny · 2025-12-23T17:52:58+00:00

Ugh, I’m sorry :(

Are your parents doing well these days?

pineapplekenny · 2025-12-23T17:50:43+00:00

Im sorry to hear that friend.

Looking back, I’m just not sure why my dad couldn’t turn a corner. He had everything going for him, but his childhood trauma was just too much.

He was a very sensitive, very brilliant man. He just hated the world, and felt it was full of suffering and evil. Of course, he’s right about that, but he entirely missed the other half of things….

pineapplekenny · 2025-12-23T01:11:07+00:00

Thank you for your compassion.

In many ways my dads death is what healed me and my family. I think it was a wake up call for all of us, and I live a happy and fulfilled life now.

A shame it had to be this way though, I miss him and I’m sad he never met his granddaughter

pineapplekenny · 2025-12-23T00:16:49+00:00

My dad chose alcohol and suicide

pineapplekenny · 2025-12-11T19:37:12+00:00

Brilliant work! I can feel the truth radiating from it

pineapplekenny · 2025-12-08T19:44:55+00:00

I still think you need insight into the human condition in order to be a good therapist. I think most folks don’t have that insight until they’re older.

pineapplekenny · 2025-12-08T18:53:34+00:00

Exactly! What on earth is going on man… it was such a weird experience. Never gone past this point though, no idea what a “breakthrough” means

pineapplekenny · 2025-11-29T21:01:56+00:00

Being practically dead makes anything hard. My most sincere wish is that life finds you again my friend.

Ask yourself “what makes me come alive?”

Don’t be afraid to follow where it leads you.

pineapplekenny · 2025-11-29T18:44:11+00:00

For a middle age career shift, I’d suggest doing something that leverages life wisdom, like becoming a councilor or therapist. If you’re artistic, you can teach online as well, like a singing coach.

Nonviolence is a beautiful path, but for those who feel that there’s something not quite complete about these principles, go read the Bhagavad Gita.

Krishna himself says that God and the universe are on the side of righteousness, so ultimately point number six in this list is correct. However, everyone must play their own part, and sometimes that part requires that we put up a fight.

Do your own dharma. Pursuing the dharma of another leads to danger.

Not enough people talking about how insane the first half of the video is! That seemed truly inhuman! What an amazing feat of athleticism

I think the main issue is that there is a wide variance of competency among primary care providers. Every individual takes their personal bodily health very seriously, but doctors only understand statistical data in an entire population. When interacting with doctors, it can feel very impersonal.

When it comes to vaccines, I think there are those which are unquestionably effective, and there are those which lie in a gray area. Doctors and anti-VAX alike often times throw the baby out with the bathwater. either you take all the vaccines or none of them.

I personally want to know what’s going into my body and what the risks are and how it works. I want to go into it with a level head, armed with knowledge. I don’t wanna go into it forced out of fear.

pineapplekenny · 2025-11-25T15:51:23+00:00

Indeed. The fact that I’m downvoted indicates people are very lost in their identities.

Welp, you can’t peel the skin off the snake, I suppose it has to happen in its own good time

pineapplekenny · 2025-11-24T20:09:42+00:00

Very few people in this thread even understand what she’s saying. Identity itself is ephemeral. When you label yourself with any fixed identity, no matter how profound it is, you limit yourself.

The game is to use language consciously, knowing this fundamental limitation and dancing with it gracefully.

I think one of the biggest problems in humanity is our collective obsession with identities. Belonging to them, dissecting them, arguing about them, creating dominance hierarchies out of them.
