  1. SonOfTheGods Has Passed

    https://theimmortalpath.com/ https://lonemanpai.com/ https://sonofthegods.com/ Per his web pages he died recently. I found a obituary with his real legal name, which matches up with his published e-books. Burial Date: December 29, 2022 in Long Island New York. That location matches his accent perfectly, I thought he was from Long Island. I am fairly confident he has passed. Does anyone know what day he died, and how he died? If anyone plans to visit his grave, could you light a stick of incense for me, and take some pictures of your visit for us? Please send your prayers, thoughts, and energies to guide his soul in the afterlife to whatever destination he desires. Godspeed SOTG!

    If anyone of his friends or followers would be interested in a mass ritual to help send his spirit make it to wherever it desires to be, please comment, and help organize. I think this would be appropriate and something he would appreciate if he were still alive.

  5. SonOfTheGods Has Passed

    The only other way I can interpret this is that he attained something like rainbow body and his body physically ascended into another plane of existence, for all intents and purposes I would still call such a person dead as they would not be in our world anymore.
  6. SonOfTheGods Has Passed

    I've gone back and read it again, I can't interpret the words in any other way than he is dead.
  7. SonOfTheGods Has Passed

    All the videos posted now show SonOfTheGod's face as well, something he never showed in public he always wore a mask. They have also published some e-books by him with his full legal name, I am assuming his students did this. On his page it says here is his video archive "before he ascended", this "WAS" his story, and this is an "archive of his final days". I interpret this as he died, I can't imagine what else it could mean.

  10. Anger as Power

    Like other emotions, anger is a normal, healthy human feeling that is neither good nor bad and in fact, has adaptive properties. Anger helps us handle emergency situations by providing a quick burst of energy and strength, so we can react to threats of danger. Anger pushes us to reach goals by creating motivation through frustration. In relationships, anger encourages us to address outstanding issues, which facilitates intimacy and growth. When not managed properly, anger can cause serious damage.

    Psychotherapy, or particularly cognitive behavioral therapy (CPT) are most commonly used treatments for health anxiety. CBT teaches you skills to manage your disorder. You can participate in CBT individually or in a group.

Also i find people here are good explainers and knowledgeable. As a beginner i am interested to learn about philosophy, the third eye, about the 6th sense and about how energy works. As a beginner any good recommendations of where should i start? So about myself is that i am a sports person, love to go out and socialize with people, also do practice to perform good.

  14. To my view enlightenment is the use and celebration of reason, the power through which humans understand the universe and improve their own conditions. The goals of rational humanity were considered to be knowledge, freedom, and happiness.
  15. Buddhist Practice Is Not For Spacing Out

    its true and i totally agree with you.
  16. Desires are endless. once you fulfill one desire another arises but when you fail to fulfill a desire it makes you sad or hurts you so people look for nothingness i guess.
  17. There are things and hidden meanings behind Buddha Statues and heads. These statues don’t mean to represent Buddha in his physical form but to represent his knowledge and awareness he acquired after attaining enlightenment. These depictions vary from style to style and on the basis of the region to origin. Buddha hair and the third eye of Buddha remains same regardless of region. But historically speaking, before the Buddha left the riches and palace as a crown prince, he had a long, curly hair. Upon giving up the happiness of the palace, he cut his hair with knife. There are also different versions of the history on whether he actually shaved the hair completely or lost the longer portions of his hair. The statues and paintings portray the Buddha having short and tight ringlet curls.
  18. Suffering can never be good it remains evil but we can make it purposeful. When we are burdened beyond our strength, we must not become bitter but instead allow our faith to make us better. Through sufferings we should seek to become a better person and to live out a better witness.
  19. Favorite Quotes from Buddha.

    This one is my favorite: “Hatred does not cease by hatred, but only by love this is the eternal rule.” By Siddhārtha Gautama, or simply known as the Buddha.
  20. What Is Samadhi?

    To my understanding samadhi is related to Buddhism or Hinduism, where one achieve enlightenment the highest state where one can escape from the cycle of sufferings. I might be wrong.
  21. The wonders of Indian civilization

    In my view ancient people were more advanced and civilized than us. Ancients from most of the countries have some amazing inventions and when we talk about Indian i have read that Indus Valley Civilization has shown the proofs of dentistry being practiced far back in 7000 BC. One dig site in Mehrgarh even showed the evidences of healers curing tooth disorders with bow drills. there are also many other things that ancient Indians can do.
  22. Buddhists believe that human life is suffering and doing mediation, spiritual and physical labor and good behaviors are the ways to obtain enlightenment or nirvana. they believe that if someone achieve the enlightenment than they can possibly escape this cycle forever Siddhartha Gautama was the first buddha and known as the first one to achieve enlightenment. The Buddha taught about Four Noble Truths. The first truth is called “Suffering (dukkha),” which teaches that everyone in life is suffering in some way. The second truth is “Origin of suffering (samudāya).” This states that all suffering comes from desire (tanhā). The third truth is “Cessation of suffering (nirodha),” and it says that it is possible to stop suffering and achieve enlightenment. The fourth truth, “Path to the cessation of suffering (magga)” is about the Middle Way, which are the steps to achieve enlightenment.
  23. The Five Eyes according to Buddha.

    i mostly heard that the eyes are door to souls but i always get confused that what does it mean but after reading information on this forum i am starting to understand things from different perspectives and it's mind blowing.
