Perhaps another way to phrase it would be. "if an open discussion makes one's blood boil. Or if an opposite opinion makes you defensive or triggered, know you're defending an ego. And if you're defending an ego you're defending something false. And this can be a sign if one's position is really truthful or it's something devious"

No disagreements there. No idea why you even chose to bring that up.

And being triggered always exposes that you're defending something. And that something is always something false. Because truth never feels under threat or in need of defending hence it never gets triggered.

To get offended you first need to take things personally. That's the definition of egoic reaction, versus being a neutral impersonal awareness. Your true self.

Only ego can ever get triggered. Spirituality 101.

Let me rephrase that. "nothing I wrote was meant as an attack" If people interpreted that way. It probably means they are defending their ego surrounding that topic. Because only ego can get defensive and uncomfortable about a discussion.

It's good, it's good. You don't need to agree with my observations indeed.

It's good that she's happy. I just felt inspired to have an open discussion about a 'hot' topic these days. Nobody should feel threatened by things I wrote I believe.

So if we all contain many incarnations of male lives and many incarnations of female lives. Why be fixated on changing the shape of your body? How is that supposed to make you feel better. Or make you feel more "real you"? Btw, I'm not trying to condemn any group of people.

I think you've put yourself in a very complicated and unpleasant position where you have to deny the existence of anything beyond the body, like chi, astral body etc. In order to justify the act of Transgenderism. Because the existence of these things would make you deeply question the validity of trans phylosophy. I've picked up on that vibe before. Of that subtle effort to disprove all things spiritual in the name of genuine skeptism but actually it was just clever defense mechanism to justify being Trans. I did not know how to articulate or point it out then. It's quite a mess.

Yea, I'm actually aware of your position on esoteric things from before.

You're saying that as if ghosts obviously don't exist. But maybe we are ghosts with a body? Or perhaps we should change the word ghost into astral body, etheric body, causal body, psychic body, karmic body, pranic body and who knows what other layers of the body are there. Have you really never heard of humans having multiple layers of subtle bodies and physical body being the grossest manifestation of them all? I definitely heard it in yoga bunch of times, I believe I heard Damo Mitchel talk about it aswell from daoist point of view. It's there in theosophy aswell. I feel fairly confident that the same teaching is in every spiritual tradition that delves into the spiritual sciences/occult knowledge etc.

I was thinking. Even to be pregnant. It's not enough to have a womb. There needs to be specific energetic wiring for that. The energetic 'software' inside you needs to be fundamentally different than in a male's body to carry out all the necessary functioning that is not just physical but deeply energetic. These energetic differences are there probably on many layers of subtle body of a human being. I believe that is what determines one's gender. Not the shape of the body, the length of your hair, not the makeup, not your name, or personality traits.

To continue with my previous thought without thunder interfering me. For example, in Ayurveda even plants are categorized into male and female according to their energetic qualities. Even tho plants have no genitals. Energetics are much more of what we are than the body really. And personally traits are probably shallow aspect of us aswell.

@silent thunder relax?

The thing that worries me about this topic is. It is sayed in spiritual texts that a physical body is the last manifestation of all the other subtle bodies before it. So there is an energetic body as a blueprint that then gives manifestation to whether you will have male body or a female body, and its shape and form etc. So the thing is... If the energy body decides whether you'll be given a male body or a female body. What's the point of interfering with it? There're some teachers that say even the energies behave differently in a male and female body. And there are practices sometimes differently geared to suit this.

Why not being yourself(a woman) in a male body? After all a body is just a bag of meat, is it really important to alter its natural shape that nature has given it?

Is it true that He Shou Wu can affect the liver in a wrong way?

@blue eyed snake I believe you would find this video about the golden-white light from above interesting and insightful

It sounds to me you don't even realize yet what I'm pointing at inside you.

It's not skeptism, you're afraid of something. And you need to trivialize the profound and mystical all the time because it somehow threatens your ego. This need to reduce everything to mundane of yours is coming from some kind of loyalty to the ego. It's not coming from a genuine search of truth.

You won't be able to see the whole picture if you're only fixated on the negative. And besides what I feel from you is a strong resistance just to the idea that Jesus was a light bringer and a great benediction upon the earth. That is what is fueling all your responses and perception of the Story. You're not genuine in your pursuit to see the whole picture.

He demonstrated that even during the worst of cruelty and injustice, your love can be beyond animosity, hatred, resentment. And that there is no death and nothing to fear, no power in the universe can hurt you. Because your nature is love and love is forever free. And he was a living example/demonstration of that truth. And his ministry on this planet created huge waves of revolution. He planted new seeds in the matrix of human consciousness that there is a better way to live life and inspired thousands of generations to follow in his footsteps and seek for something higher. Also he's a bodisatva, meaning his grace is still available even today to those who are willing to receive it and he is still continuesly helping people to heal and awaken.

^Anything takes makes you excited. When we act on excitement we follow our heart. And when we express our heart, we make art. This extends to daily life as well. Just a simple smile or conversation can be art or an expression of the heart. Marry Christmas btw. A day dedicated to Christ(the core of every heart). The source of all creativity and love and art.
