  1. Someone please convince my why going out to nightclubs is bad, also sleeping around with strangers/ mutual friends. Why avoid the night club/ bar scene and the alcohol, the people, etc.
  2. Convince me not to go out to nightclubs and sleep around

    you're right, i totally forgot about those nasty sex diseases out there. Thanks for the heads up

  4. Near Death and Out of Body Experiences

    One of the ways is to go under hypnosis and you'll able to see remember and see what happened.

    1. I wouldn't say I was a clubber/ party person, but I did go out to parties, nightclubs and bars. I would say infrequently, spontaneously for one year. It was just a phase for me. 2. I did it because there was nothing else to do at night, and since everyone is at the nightclubs and bars, why not? Overtime, I see how funny it is to see people dance, to see guys ask girls and get rejected, to see people puke, to see drama, to see bouncers acting hard, to see promoters thinking they are cool, to seeing girls wear dresses and heels to a disgusting place called the nightclub. And come on, guys and girls, both are human, but for some reason it's like everyone has their own walls and barriers up. 3. It is relevant because I finally saw the pointlessness, suffering and ridiculousness of nightclubs and bars. The temporary pleasures, after you want more and more, but they are just temporary feelings of satisfaction and ejoyment. I don't know how to describe it but it's just funny to me, it's like I'm an alien in this planet and seeing people in that inebriated state is just silly to me. It's silly if you ask me. People drinking alcohol. Silly! Just the thought of a person moving with the beat and how they dance is silly. To see people meet up at the club to hangout is just silly. I don't know why I just find it SILLY and lame.
  6. money is just a tool, you can use it or not, we need to put food on our table of course, but other than that, money will not buy happiness, working a low income job and im happy!
  7. Hiding emotions - when you're sad, depressed, excited, scared, is it better to show it or learn how to control it and not show it? Showing emotions - when you're happy, laughing, smiling, sounds like a good idea to show positive emotions? but then it might make people around you jealous or they might put you down When you're happy, its better to control the happiness and not get over excited? Do emotional/ energy vampires suck on the energy on the emotions you show? or if you hide your emotions well, having a poker face, will they still suck the energy or will they not know?
  8. I read somewhere online, I forgot the website, that when you have sex, whatever bad energy/ entities is on the other person will transfer to you? Is that true?

  13. Paranoia

    paranoia is caused by bad entities in oneself, they cling to a person, thats why when there's a car accident or something tragic happens or when you have surgery, bad entities go into you, when you are sad or depressed, bad entities will come to you, even bad entities will cause the depression itself

  15. Being Poor and Happy is Sexy, My Epiphany

    The hardship one face is based on the karma of your past lives. Even the wealthy and the rich are suffering as well. The constant need of living up to expectations of others, the constant need to safeguard the assets, the constant need of buying stuff, the constant need of making more money, and so on. Hard to find true friends. The guilt of making so much money while people are suffering around the world living under $2. the constant need to make more money. And even the rich and wealthy are not shielded from the dangers and negativity of the world. We cannot change the past, but we can change the present and future by being compassionate and kind and generous so we can have a better life and future life. I learned from being poor, and I learned from being wealthy and rich and now I realized that I'm happier if I'm making low income salary which is more than enough for me, and plus I don't have to worry about work when I get home and I even have enough to give some money to homeless people. That's my karma, I faced diffulties and suffering in the past and I'm grateful for experiencing both worlds.
  16. Escapism, Life, Buddhism

    To me, escapism is escaping from our world by seeking distractions and addictions. For example, people forget about their worries by gambling, watching movies, fantasizing about their future, internet addiction, video games, junk food, television, facebook and social media, drugs, porn, alcohol, nightclubs and bars, career, reading and so on. We escape from the pain and sorrows of reality. Buddhism teaches us to face our reality, to become aware of our surroundings, mindfulness. Buddhism and spirituality is opposite of escapism. Escapism is going away from the truth. With buddhism and spirituality, we cling to nothing but ourselves, no external factors involved. When we seek external sources or distractions, our life becomes a blur. What's your opinion on escapism?
  17. Energy = liquid force

    yup everything is energy and vibrations, even thoughts give out energy and vibrations
  18. Escapism, Life, Buddhism

    i believe we only escape if our mind is not in the present, activities such as reading, working, watching tv distracts your mind from the present
