I do agree that probably one of the biggest challenges we face in this day and age is climate change. Unfortunately.

I know it may not seem like it if we watch the news too much but as a historian this is actually one of the best times to be alive. There's fewer wars than there's ever been, medical science is at an all-time high people don't die of common diseases like they used to. Granted climate change is a problem but I can't think of another time in history that is better than now. This is why I like the study of history.

This is the prophecy of what happens after my neighbor eats Taco Bell.

As a fellow struggling entrepreneur I recommend lots of Zhunti mantra recitation. My business has picked up since I got back into it.

What is this from? And what is it supposed to signify?

That youtube video that I posted is the one that I listen to most often, I seem to get results from it.

What if, and hear me out, the problem isn't spiritual stuff, but Schizophrenia? I would highly suggest going to a qualified mental health professional asap.

oh really? which way is the old weather cock pointing today? 🤭🐓

I might be asexual but I'm not a-compliment so thank you :-)

I've heard gay guys say this as well, that they like "straight guys" at which point I go into a feedback loop where I think to myself "if they slept with a guy how can they technically be straight?" lol

I was say its internalized "homophobia" most likely, which would be a narrative in the back of one's mind that would say "straight men count more than gay men" or something to that effect.

I'm curious, why does that fantasy embarrass you?

I'm not sure but I think one thing that too me a while to overcome to realize I was trans was that I was not attracted to men. The first thing my sister asked me after I came out to her was "does this mean you are attracted to men now?" There's still a lot of confusion on the difference between sexual orientation and gender identity.

I've noticed that since the original novelty of the thread wore off and the trolls either stopped trolling or got banned that it has quieted down and this in and of itself to me shows an important point. In spite of what some conservatives say (the trolls) most people don't really care what other people do with their lives, and I think that is nice :-).

In the past I thought I wanted to be a Buddhist monk so I tried living like one for a while, which included eating one meal a day. Once I decided that wasn't in the cards for me I stopped. I don't really think I noticed any difference before or after.

The "Happy Buddha"

Christ is the English translation of the Greek word Christos which is a translation from the Aramaic word for Messiah which means "anointed one"

I thought I would take the q&A in a different direction today. Has anyone here ever dated a transgendered person or been related to one? If so what was your experience and how did you perceive theirs?

Sounds like Feng Shui

No I don't think its just a guy thing and I can't comment on gay guys (since they don't flirt with me). My socializing situation has improved a lot since transition. Before I would always feel more comfortable being friends with women but the outer packaging made it complicated (especially being a straight guy). Now I have many more friends and its easier to make them as a woman. Straight guys seem to think a "date" is "hey come over to my house new person that I just started talking to" lol

Ok but being more serious, the social skills of most younger (and some older) guys these days is just awful.

Or maybe if they do feel a self that wants a girlfriend they spiritualize it away lol. 🤭

These last few tidbits of information have been very interesting since I have never heard of this before, and Zhunti mantra has been one of my longest running practices. I have seen my clinic continue to improve as I continue with the mantra, but I also notice I keep thinking about "emptiness" more as well.

You mean thinking you can shoot lighting out of your nostrils and getting combative when someone is skeptical isn't conducive to relationships?
