It's sad how people come here and fool themselves into thinking they're more intelligent, by changing their life to match the delusional thinking of the ones who shared their beliefs before them. Herd mentality is perfectly displayed here at the Genius Forum, despite however much the herd speaks aga...

When I was a kid, I remember my neighbors dog communicating with me. It was probably my imagination. When I go to sleep and need to wake up at a certain time, my body will wake itself up at the correct time without an alarm clock. Doesn't happen all of the time, or if I 'try' to do it or anything. I...

My apologies for the sloppy links. Edited now. John Doe, I'm not really into religions. I think, I should study the more recent info. I'm not either, but I do think it's good to study everything. The two texts I linked to are excellent and will give you great insights, leading you the correct way, a...

Kelly, Okay. You admit this. So you really ought to rephrase what you write, to show that you are not absolutely certain that complete sanity, and the perfection of wisdom, are possible or impossible. I'm 100% convinced, but as I've said before on these forums, not 100% certain. I'm only 99.99999999...

That's true, Toban. Also, you'll experience physical distractions like pain or heat in your body. The point of not moving when you experience this, is to have the mind abandon the ego and its attachment to comfort. Then it can continue to be still, without attachments, along with the body. Stillness...

Kelly, There's far more to American self-centredness than the weather. I really don't think so. I also don't find it to be self-centeredness. It only seems that way because people aren't as open. People in arctic regions aren't automatically unco-operative and distrustful towards everyone else. I th...

Toban, I'm amazed at how much I agree with your post! Perfect! Kelly, Please tell me how sschaula wrote: You can remove your attachments. but that only imperfect non-attachment is possible? Well, if I'm addicted to looking at porn: if I remove that attachment and am no longer addicted, it can easily...

Regarding Dave's idea, that would be too much interference. The wise and good people that shape society shouldn't do it by force. But our society does need to be made to be more thoughtful and compassionate. Luckily, I see this happening all around me. Elizabeth, I agree with you that children need ...

Elizabeth, It's hard to see you so bitter. I don't see the world the way you're currently seeing it. Sons and daughters look up to their fathers. I can't think of a single person who doesn't respect their dad, as long as the dad wasn't a complete dick. The gender concepts at this forum ruin people. ...

When you get to it, John Doe, here are two great books that I own and highly recommend: This version of the Dhammapada is my personal favorite! Translated by Ananda Maitreya with a foreward by Thich Nhat Hanh. Dhammapada This translation of the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali is also my personal favorite! ...

That definitely sounds like a modern day relationship, but it doesn't sound like love. It's up to each individual to love correctly. How to live correctly. It's hard. Not many do it right. But a few reclaim their lives. Steven Covey comes to mind. In his book he talked about how he and his wife were...

Kelly, Scott, I should have asked, what countries have you visited outside America, and how much have you actually travelled inside America? Just Canada so far. Iraq soon. I've travelled inside of America, and never noticed any major difference between areas. I really need to travel more though...ma...

The truth is blurred when we stop focusing on individuals and start focusing on groups, looking from a distance. I may appear to be the most shallow piece of shit you've ever seen, but you don't know what I think about. Similarly, a lot of women may have very insightful thoughts and contemplate very...
