    Hey, stop picking on Vmarco, sheesh There's this cartoon I'm watching called Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes. The character Ant Man is a superhero who is a scientist who want's to make the world a better place. His plans for a better world don't work out and he is forced to do things he doesn't agree with, plus he hates fighting. Him and Iron Man created a robot called Ultron. Ultron has a mind designed after Ant Man's brain. He is designed as a jailor for super villains and to be there for rehabilitation of these villains. After some incidents, Ultron learns about violence and decides that the only way to save humanity is to destroy it. Ultron almost succeeded in nuking the world before Ant Man uploaded some information into Ultron to make him think that he's a human too, and so Ultron destroyed himself first. Because Ultron's mind was designed after Ant Man's, he feels like it's all his fault and that he should quit being a superhero. I think I see the fault in his reasoning and the way Ultron might have worked without trying to destroy everything. Ant Man doesn't have a space in his heart for villains to exist, and he draws a line between him and the villains, just like Ultron and humans. If Ultron had the idea of being human before he reached his conclusion, things might have worked out differently. Ant Man should do the same.
  3. Do you get catastrophe dreams?

    Oh man, I had a dream where I was a person living in some dried up village when some invaders came on a flying island covered in trees and stuff I went inside it and it was all technologic and stuff
  4. Do you get catastrophe dreams?

    hmm Now that I think about it, all of my dreams have to do with survival I sneak around, find something weird and run away or fight it somehow I even recruited dogs or wolf monsters, like for an army or something, and they show up in other dreams In real life, survival was also a motivation for getting into things like meditation hummmmmm

  7. What is enlightenment?

    Reality doesn't have a beginingness and endness, human experience does. After knowledge there goes wisdom and after wisdom there's crown chakra that's the default "everything else that doesn't make sense" Only first six chakras are inside the human body and the crown is the outside the body where there's no time, no self, no mind, and no nothing. Also telling that reality is not logical is my thing

  9. What is enlightenment?

    Human life is often seen as a linear journey with a birth and a death. People walk this path and when a person asks another person in front of him what's ahead, he might not understand until he sees it. That person might not even see it because he didn't walk through the thorn bushes in between them first. Just knowing about the no self is not useful while you're still looking through the bushes. Masters of this path are often called enlightened but this enlightened often shows up after death when you don't have a body except of that is the world itself. The world can be seen as your own body, there is food somewhere halfway across the globe that you didn't eat yet but eventually you will and it will be a part of your living body. The knowledge of the no mind and such shows up when you have nothing else to go towards to. This path, in a way, is already written down but it's different for everyone who walks it so you just have to live it. One way it is written down is through number 7. There are seven chakras you your body through which energy flows towards the crown. When energy reaches the crown, you reach enlightenment, it is said. The crown is outside your body while other chakras represent your body thoughts emotions you and crown is the default space for "everything else". The life can be seen as something that goes through chakras too but since each story is different, it might be seen different for everyone. First there's you. Second you become everywhere through friends and connections. Because of these connections you work and acquire wealth. When you acquire wealth and have a decent paycheck in a sense, you feel like you're safe to be married and start a family. When you're just content with everything, you gather knowledge yourself or it just find you, that's also when you wonder about the bigger things then yourself. Knowledge eventually turns into wisdom and somewhere behind the final step, you don't have any more questions. Not everyone lives the same way and some become very rich before going somewhere else and others live with nothing and just become monks somewhere. Some people even live content without ever falling in love, or they're not telling me something I heard that the circle of rebirth happens because your soul still have questions, living life will answer all the questions eventually that's why rebirth happens. If you're comfortable believing that sort of stuff

  17. Tell us about your Monthlies

    It's a kinda complicated meditation with mantras for every chakra and specific breathing Ek ong kar are first three mantras and so it's often called that First you yell EK! then onnngg then kaaaaaar and so on, there's specific breathing for each part and it kinda merges all the chakras together or something and I hear if you have impure pathways it can get dangerous ...not sure I remember how to do it actually
