Life Means Nothing and is Going Nowhere. Somebody prove me wrong. Please.

I love it. He's like a caricature of what he thinks westerners think a wise Indian sage looks and sounds like.

Very true, i find it shocking so many Western people buy into his bullshit.
Osho was no angel but apart from his little outburst was ok-ish, he hit people with a big stick which I like.

The common denominator to both of these is peoples desire for truth, and therefore susceptibility to marketing. No one knows what the truth is, yet the common mistake made is that we gravitate towards people/ideas that already mirror our level and temperament.. in other words we are actually defining ahead of time what we desire the truth to be. This is best demonstrated if you ask what people think Enlightenment is, and the majority will associate the words 'bliss' or 'ecstasy' with it.

We're lazy and like the exotic nature of the Eastern systems, or at least the parts that just require us to visualize bliss and feel good, and we're certainly happy to buy into that.
 
Raving is better than going to Church if you wanna cultivate your Spirituality.
MDMA+LSD and Comunion with other follow ravers =👌

Reading the thread with interest and learning.

I am not familiar with Sadguru or some of the more modern writers/mystics/gurus. But I can solidly say my library has books by Paramahansa Yogananda and Swami Vivekenanda. Both fascinate me and they both exited this world as they said they would. Autobiography of a Yogi I read 3 times. The law of miracles is a fine chapter.
 
Life does mean nothing and life does go nowhere, but so what? You can still enjoy the absurdity of it all.

We're all heading the same way and it can happen to any of us at any moment. You can either waste your time worrying about the inevitable, or you can savour every last breath as if it were your last.

Be grateful for every second you're alive, because once it's over, you won't even know about it.

I think I've heard something about it somewhere...;)

I did always think it tragic he hung up the phone on acid and picked up the phone on a bottle of whiskey a night. Got his wires crossed somewhere - whatever "message" he thought he'd got was obviously the wrong one. I guess he should've said "Keep on the phone to the acid in case you havn't understood correctly"
 

In the Zohar​

According to the Zohar, after Cain kills Abel, Adam separates from Eve for 130 years. During this time, Lilith and Naamah seduce him and bear his demonic children, who became the Plagues of Mankind. She and Lilith cause epilepsy in children.[2]

In another story from the Zohar, Naamah and Lilith are said to have corrupted the angels Ouza and Azazel.[3][4] The text states she also attracts demons, as she is continuously chased by demon kings Afrira and Qastimon every night, but she leaps away every time and takes multiple forms to entice men.


She makes sport with the sons of man, and conceives from them through their dreams, from the male desire, and she attaches herself to them. She takes the desire, and nothing more, and from that desire she conceives and brings forth all kinds of demons into the world. And those sons she bears from men visit the women of humankind, who then conceive from them and give birth to spirits. And all of them go to the first Lilith and she brings them up.[1]

In other texts​

A 1340 Kabbalistic treatise by Bahya ben Asher states Naamah is one of the mates of the archangel Samael, along with Lilith, Agrat bat Mahlat and Eisheth.[5][6][7] It is stated Esau took four wives in imitation to him.[1]

100% agree there.

You mention the Tantric path of The Aghori most people look at you with horror, to me it makes perfect sense.
Also nearly all Western people seem to think Tantra is all about sex, they have no idea about The 3 M's or the text "Tantrasara" which says it all in my view.

You read "miracle of love" about Neem Karoli Baba, it is written by Ram Dass but that book is amazing.

The local Hindu temple I go to has a guy there from the Ashram that Karoli Baba set up, I cannot big this book up enough.


The Miracle of Love: Amazon.co.uk: Ram Dass: 9781887474009: Books

Buy The Miracle of Love 3 by Ram Dass (ISBN: 9781887474009) from Amazon's Book Store. Everyday low prices and free delivery on eligible orders.

The Siddi powers this guy had are insane.
 
I have the feeling that nihilism is predominantly a white people thing, a self-loathing and masochism, because we feel like we can't do much about the rulers of our system and the system itself that cripples our expression of being.. so the anger that should be directed to solving that problem gets inverted as there's no where else for it to go. You just read and hear stories of smaller cultures or 'primitives', who are materially poor yet very happy because they have real community and aren't hindered by the mountain of bullshit we live under in the west.

It's like being in solitary confinement, or getting put in a madhouse. That environment is going to affect your philosophy, and you inevitably become it too.

You know I had a copy I misplaced but I really need to get that book back in my library. Contrary to a lot of the negativity that Ram Dass and Neem Karoli Baba get (around here at least) I Love the whole story and the wisdom that comes with it. Thanks for recommending. I at least had my first copy of Be Here Now by 1981.

Philosophy is predominantly a white people thing 😉

But yeah that's true. There are ppl in slums in India who are happier than us..

 
Life is only cool while you got health, if somebody gave me a gun....I'd definitely blow my brains out, no questions asked. I'm not afraid of death, I'm fucking sick of life tbh, life equals pain. 😴
P.S: I needa trip so bad
 
If you can do it, do it! Don't wait for someone else.. leave this, otherwise your routine gonna be same and is the same but you need to change the atoms of your own butterfly effect, is a god damn vivid ice landscape is the concious bro. For me, it says to keep being healthy nothing enstranged either me or my family, it's all a bit of perspective where it was and why you collect so many papers, I've never being an enthusiast of collecting papers. The dawn jumps when I look solitary like Anubis

Me too, so friggin sick of it. I will say though one of the things in the Bible that made sense was this:

Anyone who loves their life will lose it, while anyone who hates their life in this world will keep it for eternal life. John 12:25

I see so many people trying for power and wealth at any expense. I think that scripture covers them. Staking their claim as if this is permanent. Me personally can not stand this life but have hope there is a state of being better than we have now. But Nature made it so we at least have Death as a way out regardless if it is total nothingness or continued consciousness. Thank you Mother Nature

Yes a trip helps sort things out Nznity. :)

My personal rationalization for sticking around despite the fact things seem to be rapidly spiraling towards a dystopian scenario, is the belief that we might be at the cusp of some kind of evolutionary breakthrough as a species. All the global tension might just crack the egg so to speak and force something new to arise that we haven't seen before.

That's the hope anyway. On bad days I just pray for a meteor the size of Mt. Everest.
