For me loving myself is very much related to my self-esteem. Buddhist or not, please don't assume these videos are meant to offer insight to Buddhists only, they are meant to offer insight to anyone, but check out Ajahn Brahm's videos on the BuddhistSocietyWA youtube channel, here is one of his talks titled "No Self-Esteem".

Those aren't dinosaurs, they're dragons. Dragons were just one of the 'mythical' creatures who use to come visit this world, but eventually disappeared or stopped coming as humanity grew more selfish, wicked, and deviant. At least I read something along those lines in some literature once.

I will, actually just looked on Netflix and they have My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, I'm assuming that is where to start. A show like this is indeed rare to comeby!

Taoist-Tantrika Native American Ninja in training
Colonel Goji replied to spicychan's topic in Welcome
When you folks say run, do you literally mean running? I was fascinated with Native American running, particularly Iroquois, Aztec, and Inca Messenger Systems. I find these organized forms of running incredibly fascinating for some reason! "Hernan Cortes wrote that within twenty-four hours of his landing at Chianiztlan in May 1519, runners had described to Montezuma, 260 miles away, his ships, men, guns and horses." No doubt it was by a system of relays with runners waiting at outposts probably drinking water infused with chia seeds. But not quite as fascinating as the ancient Tibetan form of 'teleportation' style 'running', one who was trained in such an esoteric running style could travel distances of hundreds of miles in a matter of a day or two, projecting oneself across vast landscapes, remaining unseen so as not to frighten any onlookers with such power. -
About 5 years, from 14-18 and then another year or two when I fell off the wagon a few times in my early to mid 20's. I had my hippie phase of partying, my tweaker and coke head phase of partying, and my Goa/psy trance phase of partying. And then I woke up from all the mindless self indulgence. I've done just about every type of drug in existence, and I really got nothing out of partying except that my hallucinogenic use has showed me that partying is not the right road if I want to reach my full potential. I did it due to peer pressure, naivety, and a curiosity and desire to have fun in what seemed a really exciting stimulating type of way. Marijuana, alcohol, and other typical drugs of abuse didn't really offer me any insight or give me a desire to stop partying, whereas psychedelics have been a wake up call, even a slap in the face on a couple trips, to quit partying and live most virtuously and return to a good path in accord with The Way. No, well maybe since I have already partied harder than most people I know I have seen that that particular indulgence offers no long term benefits to a person, and will only hinder their cultivation eventually. edit: lol, obviously all the partying i did revolved heavily around drugs and drinking, as is pretty common in club scenes anyways. can't say i did much sober partying!
