I just started listening to audibooks, lectures and been reading articles on the topic. I don't plan on converting to any of the religions or living my life that way philosophically but I'm still interested in it. I don't like the new age movement or the liberal buddhists who basically white people larping as Asians.

>the new age movement or the liberal buddhists
that's a cancer and abomination of Buddhism and other doctrines.
I would probably not be so much interested (or believe) in Buddhism, if it wasn't for my experience with meditation--or I should rather say, higher states of mind--which confirmed, as I've learned later in my life, the Buddha's teachings.
I can only feel pity for those who never experienced higher states of mind. I can hardly consider them alive.
The true and most ancient religion of the white man is Zoroastrianism
paganism is for lesser races
Apathy and defeat. Meditation means shut down your mind like a good goy. If you have a problem you should use your mind to find a solution, meditation is the oposite, you stop thinking, you stop the process that make you human and not a beast. You make an effort to denie reallity. Fuck you
Fuck off Pajeet
What a complete shit level understanding of things. You're so dumb you must make a rock feel smart. Meditation literally increases gray matter in your brain which basically increases patience, processes thoughts faster, allows for delayed gratification, and makes you enjoy life more in general because your concentration level increases. Fuck off with your dumb bullshit. Following religion blindly over science is the most pleb NPC level thing a person could do.
Theravadic Buddhism has cured my homosexuality.
Looks like someone isn't very good at meditating
Eastern religion is unironically more white than christianity. It comes from the same indo-european (aryan) root as european paganism. The archetypes and gods in hinduism are pretty much the same with a few regional variabilities.
The best thing for an edgy european neo-pagan to do is to study hinduism. The only difference is that hinduism survived.
Fine, you are bisexual now.
Try Advaita Vedanta for complete cure for your homosex urges and a fully hetero lifestyle.
Christianity is jewish paganism
Maybe if you're doing it wrong.
>you stop the process that make you human and not a beast
On the contrary. It helps you to look through such processes which then allows more rational thought. Bad feefees don't and shouldn't diminish but what should happen is getting something out of it that isn't resentment and more pain. Man is reduced to a beast by suffering.
essentially nihilistic in outlook from my limited knowledge of it. I think the best approach is Eastern Christianities views on meditation ie hesychasm because Christians actually believe in objective truth, which is kind of useful while living in the world and combatting degeneracy.
It's another control system made up by Eastern (((Elites))) to control their pesantry and make them conform to their social engineering plans. Karma, Moksha, Dharma - if you spend any amount of time actually thinking about how this is supposed to work, you will readily undertsand that these are tools to make people hung up on some nebulous "transecndence" while distracting them from what's really going on. It's no wonder that the moment the West started going secular, these concepts were readily transplanted here and made into New Age to perform the same function.
Monism is literally the most childish theology you can imagine, i can't beleive grown people unironically subscribe to this.
To the doubters: name one thing that you can think or do in this world that will matter in 800 years
I can sit in complete silence with eyes closed focusing on my breathing
Answer: nothing. The only meaningful pursuit is finding a permanent refuge from stress and suffering. That is what the Buddha called the deathless state. All other things and actions are impermanent unsatisfactory and a source of suffering ie deathbound

Read Ajahn Geoff de graf's book "the mind like fire unbound" for a good intro. Then read everything else he's written. Next enjoy life because now you know how to set yourself free
Not an argument
Ha, how many electrical motors were invented by meditating?
You stupid savage, you and your fucking multi-arm gods
No I am not. I am proud of my mind. I will never shut it down
And how many were invented by praying?
Don't be more idiotic than you necessarily need to be
All of his books are a free download from accesstoinsight.org get an ereader and grab them all. Read before bed. Start doing meditation and being mindful whether sitting standing or laying down. You can do it. You'll quit fapping too. You'll become an Aryan no matter your race
Actually meditation gives you powers of concentration that have no limit. Imagine having AutoCAD installed in your brain. What could you design with that?
It is pathetic. You shut down your senses so you lost your link to reality and you shut down your mind so you lost your link to yourself. Go fuck yourself you evil fraud
Mooji? He said gay is okay.
>You shut down your senses
No
> shut down your mind
No
Don't offer your hot opinions on something you don't actually know anything about fagtron
Cero! Praying is the denied of your mind. You hope for some external thing to find the solution for you. Cero! Thats what you want. To be a cero
Understanding that a single Divine Being, or Existent, is the very Ground or Substratum of all existents (from the subatomic to the galactic) is a rudimentary realization (though one seemingly beyond the capacity of spiritually contracted atheists such as Richard Dawkins, Lawrence Krauss, and Sam Harris). What is an advanced (and exceedingly difficult) realization is that of ontically, or yogically, coinciding with the Divine Being. And only the rarest of humans is able to permanently coincide with (and conduct/radiate the Light-Energy of) the Divine Being.
The radical (or gone-to-the-root) Method of coinciding with the Divine Being is simple in theory, but oh so difficult in practice. In practice, one must be able to assume the asana of being directly, immediately, unobstructedly present to (and through) all that appears and arises in one’s field of awareness. When one’s consciousness (or soul) cuts through all appearances (gross and subtle), it encounters the Causal Dimension of Reality – pure Spirit: Divine Power, or Clear-Light-energy. This Dimension, or “Body,” or Hypostasis, is called Shakti in Hinduism, the Holy Spirit in Christianity, and the Sambhogakaya in Buddhism. When one’s individual consciousness (or soul) coincides (or unites) with this universal Spirit (or Divine Power, or Clear-Light-Energy), then, spontaneously this alchemical union, “produces” or unveils, the Divine Being as one’s fundamental, and irreducible, True Condition, or Nature.
The Divine Being is the Divine Domain – and when a yogi attains ontic union with It, he has metaphysically (or spiritually) “cracked the cosmic code” by transcending (and escaping the clutches of) the cosmic (or phenomenal and, conditional) domain, a.k.a. the Matrix.
Your views of self are the cause of your stress and suffering. How you define your self is what you are limited by. Abandon definitions and be free in the supreme freedom from stress
Watch the culture that created the meditation doctrine. How do they live? They are dirty savages. If they do not shut down the mind they should be doing technological wonders
Only Theravada Buddhism has preserved intact the Buddha's very practical methods and doctrine for the liberation of beings.
this short novel got me interested in it, probably will dig a bit more
Yeah how many things has Argentina invented you white skinned we wuz white larper?? I bet India has contributed more to science than Argentina has. Do you even have a space program? Was a single religion ever created in your unholy fucking shithole?
Navy SEALs meditate. CEOs meditate. They introduced meditation as "punishment" in certain black US schools and the number of students coming back to detention dropped. Meditation was also invented in India.

That's the opposite of what I said. Some people skip the basics of their existence and then naturally become detached. No relativism here at all. It can be done either right or wrong.
You may like this audiobook.
The real world is in your mind. What happens outside it is the world of fantasy. Prove me wrong
Hinduism, Zoroastrianism and Buddhism are based religions
Also European pagan religions
Whatever religion teaches a path to a permanent escape from suffering and stress is a good one
You are savage, not because you are an Indian but because you treat reality with mistisim. Thouse great men from your country were the oposite of you. You should bite your tonge before talking in their name. Like a cristian talking about the achivement of western civilization. Go and fuck yourself
So much anger in this nigger.
You should really try meditating, it'll do you good!
shh
An angry person willingly poisons himself. If he persists, he poisons his entire existence and the ones to come, too
He's just pretending, I'm sure.
Do not appeal to my emotions, appeal to my reason. Mistics of the soul and mistics of the muscle killed and turtured men for milenia. Stop meditating andbpick a book, you will find your lost sense of justice and yes, you will be angry
What is the endgoal of humanity? Becoming autistic, fully rational machines being capable of producing better soulless machines?
An angry man has literally fallen into hell right here and right now, whether he imagines his anger to be justified or not. Abandon anger for your own benefit
The patriarchy aspect is of christianity is the key factor. That is what you people don't under stand. You're all caught up on if it's from europe or not. That doesn't matter, and btw, none of this goddess bullshit of paganism came from europe either. What matters is the collective societal psychic impact of switching away from the explicit patriarchal nature of christianity to some other new world order mystery religion. The jew world order/masonic mystery religion they are bringing in is matriarchy. It's a goddess matriarchy of isis worship. That's what this phenomenon of woman becoming priests in christian churches is about. It's a paganization of christianity. It's a decent back into the retardation of oracles and primitive women worship and priestesses. It's isis worship. But worse than that, and even deeper, is that they worship a transgender god. And that is what this tranny promotion is about.
Ephesians 5:22-24
22 Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.
1 Timothy 2:11-15
11 Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection.
12 But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.
13 For Adam was first formed, then Eve.
14 And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.
Titus 2:3-5
3 The aged women likewise, that they be in behaviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things;
4 That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children,
5 To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.
basically learn how to think instead of what to think
If you gorge yourself on philosophy you've fucked up
You may be able to find a fat ugly retarded woman who will agree with that lol
No.
Read any rand
>Read any rand
Ah, we have addressed the problem now.
And she will produce many fat ugly retarded children for you lol
LMAO is this bait? Meditation is like cleaning your mind of garbage thoughts, if you don't do it, your brain will be filled with garbage. Animals don't have the ability, focus, or will to that. It makes you more in tune with reality, it doesn't deny it. Mindfulness is the exact opposite of 'shutting down your mind', it's an exercise in mental discipline.
You don't really have a good mind if this is what you actually think you fucking retard
>mistisim
kek
Buddhism and toaism are highly compatible with the west and Christianity.
