A reminder that suffering is a choice.
Realize the complete unreality of the world before you, and withdraw yourselves into the fundamental consciousness that generates this nightmarish illusion. Recognize the dream marks, and untether yourself from this world.
You are simultaneously the chess board, its pieces, and its players. Never forget that.

I lack the willpower, insight, or perspective to use this advice.
Tell me how to get girls to like me instead OP.
If you don't have the willpower, insight, or perspective to take my advice, what makes you think you'll have the willpower, insight, or perspective to make the changes necessary to get girls, or indeed, achieve any goals?
A good first step for you would be realizing the bigger picture, and its implications on your daily activities.
Nah, I'd rather use this thread to talk about how everyone else is super mean to me all the time, even though all I ever did was put my needs ahead of their and call them ethnic slurs. Can you help me figure out this one?
Be more understanding, user. You're making fun of a population that is damaged.
no, none of this means anything. there is no choice whether or not to suffer. the world is real. there's no advice here, just vague spiritual words

HAHAHA I forgot that one picture of the wojak meditating on the first post. Silly me!
And I quote:
>""Suffering" is a big word in Buddhist thought. It is a key term and should be thoroughly understood. The Pali word is dukkha, and it does not just mean the agony of the body. It means that deep, subtle sense of dissatisfaction that is a part of every mind moment and that results directly from the mental treadmill. The essence of life is suffering, said the Buddha. At first glance this statement seems exceedingly morbid and pessimistic. It even seems untrue. After all, there are plenty of times when we are happy. Aren't there? No, there are not. It just seems that way. Take any moment when you feel really fulfilled and examine it closely. Down under the joy, you will find that subtle, all-pervasive undercurrent of tension that no matter how great this moment is, it is going to end. No matter how much you just gained, you are inevitably either going to lose some of it or spend the rest of your days guarding what you have and scheming how to get more. And in the end, you are going to die; in the end, you lose everything. It is all transitory.
Sounds pretty bleak, doesn't it? Luckily, it's not-not at all. It only sounds bleak when you view it from the ordinary mental perspective, the very perspective at which the treadmill mechanism operates. Underneath lies another perspective, a completely different way to look at the universe. It is a level of functioning in which the mind does not try to freeze time, does not grasp onto our experience as it flows by, and does not try to block things out and ignore them. It is a level of experience beyond good and bad, beyond pleasure and pain. It is a lovely way to perceive the world, and it is a learnable skill. It is not easy, but it can be learned."
With a mind mired in the swamp of illusion that constitutes our supposed existence, it is easy to feel these things, and easy to dismiss these words. However, if you look inward, and truly look, you will find the truth in what I'm saying. That is the only advice contained in my posts, and the only advice you need.
this body holding me reminds me of my own mortality
I am convinced every man to be called an Ascended Master, from Christ to Buddha or whoever else, were just accepting of reality. Its highs and lows, with a very large indifference towards everything. Balance, purpose in every experience from agony to joy in the here and now.
What good is there in anything when reality is depressing, empty, stale, frail and lifeless? All things in the past, present and future are temporal. Nothing with last. Nothing has any real value. The curse of cyclical time damns every thing within it to wither and die. Endless death and rebirth... on and on and on. Some of those things become self-aware of this cycle.
If infinite consciousness is what men arex expressed differently... Why is it no matter how hard I try, heaven is unreachable?
To what end does anything take place? Why? Why must I, or anyone else suffer? Men are hardly worth the time they are given. They are dumb, weak, and fickle.
So many questions that spiral in a depressive whirlpool with no answers. Just hollow. Asking a question in an empty warehouse. Only wind and dust and the echoes of your own voice.
Cries up to the heavens in a voiceless scream, never an answer. Never. Only emptiness and lack of understanding.
Why? This existence sucks. I feel as if being uncreated and becoming one with the no thing is better. No pain, no sorrow, no joy, no happiness, no impending death or end. Nothing. Black.
just a reminder that being poor is a choice. shouldnt have chosen to be born in a 3rd world shithole
suffering is a choice. Read the thread, bucko.
The cosmic joke to silence those with fake spirituality. No one can work for their place and be in total control. All riches and poverty fall upon man by chance. An almost arbitrary happenstance from the point of view of the human.
Go to school. Look for job. Never get job. Become homeless. Choose to die or steal food to survive.
Who chooses to be homeless and sick? No one ever. They cry for help, and no one comes. No one. Never. Death. It is better to have not been born than to live and watch the reapear slowly close in on you and everything you have come to love.
A cruel cosmic joke. To be given, only to be shown that nothing matters. Your love is hollow and meaningless. The people, animals and experiences you have come to be attached to and love... They will be taken from you. You never really had it. You are just are on a roller coaster of misery, and you don't get off. The reaper waits at the end to remove your head and throw it into a shallow grave. Innumerable others who didn't matter and who will not be remembered. Slaves and thralls to some cruel and sadistic master.
What do I say? I SAY KILL THE COSMOS. LET THE SNAKE COMPLETELY DEVOUR ITSELF AND LET THE VOIDSPACE CONSUME ALL SO THAT ALL BECOMES NOTHING.
Stab holes in the multiverse and hear it scream. Bleed it. Seed destructive forces everywhere. Stop this endless machine that creates life only to enslave it. Destroy the machine. The matrix. Whatever you wanna call it.
I am powerless to stop the machine. I am but a man. I will never stop wanting to be truly free.
who originally wrote this
Doesn't cost a dime to look inward, and renounce this world of delusions. Your body, your instincts, trap you in the feeling of this world as being important, meaningful, and you play along with it, even taking ownership over it. This is why suffering is a choice: you're willingly allowing yourself to be lead around by a body, which knows no better than to generate for itself desires that ultimately lead to its own suffering. This cycle is endless. If you look inward, this fact will be obvious to you, and you'll be left wondering how you hadn't realized it sooner. Do you choose to perform this self-inquiry, or would you rather live in the quicksand that is the ignorance of the nature of this reality?
>Why is it no matter how hard I try, heaven is unreachable?
There is no heaven, no hell, no world. Your desires, as illusive as a mirage in a desert, compel to you seek heaven. There are no answer to your questions, because you're asking questions that can't be answered.
suffering is not a choice in buddhism, life is suffering and you accept that in buddhism
I just typed it out right now. I might as well be no one. Given a name, a body, a face, a life... They are still just an expression of a consciousness that may not even be my own. All of those words and feelings, have been felt before. Who originally wrote this? Once a circle is closed, how can you pinpoint its exact beginning or end?
in short, you're telling us to kill ourselves.
not cool OP
I'm not advocating buddhism, or perhaps not in the way one might conventionally think of buddhism.
Death has no meaning to those that have seen. If anything, gaining this insight would stop you from killing yourself, only because you'll realize how futile such an act is.
OP has transcended the 4th dimension
There is no god where I am. There is no devil. All things flee from my presence.
Why?
WHY?
There is no man alive with the capacity to understand such a question. There is no one to provide comfort in the agony of this dance between good and evil.
I have only come to know that I know nothing. I am as ignorant and in the dark as I was in the beginning.
Nothing I know, but when I really become nothing, as in dying, mayhaps then I will truly know NOTHING.
i almost cant understand what OP is trying to say
Ask, and you will receive. What about this can I elaborate on?
We are not the same person.
Pic related is me.
And also this is me.
i can't afford food and my health is failing
I just wanna cover girls in my cum untill I fucking die. Is that too much to ask???
You'll be happier if you let go of that desire. It is what it is
That is a fucking LIE. You cannot be satisfied eternally by things not eternal. Desire is innate. Without desire is being not human. Being without desire does not mean you have happiness. You just are lacking in one more thing among a list of likely many other things.
Finally a true robot thread.
>look inward
what does that mean? nothing these buddhist types say ever means anything. how do I do that? what am I looking for?
You're on a path. Keep going if you'd like, or abandon it. Your choice.
>Death has no meaning to those that have seen. If anything, gaining this insight would stop you from killing yourself, only because you'll realize how futile such an act is.
this is what I learned from DMT. I use to be an atheist materialist but now I'm not so sure.
Are we all eternal beings living an illusion over and over? I truly wish to embrace the light of eternity..
rhetoric isnt one of your strengths
Indeed it isn't. Then again. Who am I?
> Justin poster makes another thread
Please fuck off from this board and stay on /soc/
I dont know, you tell me. Who are you?
The thing I hate about """spiritual""" people is their incessant need to type so fucking pretentiously and like they're writing some shit for a poetry club. Shit is so fucking gay.
Type your ideas normally, faggots. It doesn't make you "less spiritual" for doing so.
I agree, it's a pretty serious topic to think over
I don't know either. I get no further than "just me".
What an amazing thing to feel hateful about. Someone is not framing their thoughts in the way a random stranger wants them to be framed.
>why u speak fancy an smart lmao fag
I'm not hateful you pretentious faggot, lmao
I'm just saying, its fucking gay. Its not about how its framed, but its about what. it represents. It represents conformity (cause every "spiritual" person types like that), pretentiousness, etc. Its fucking gay lol. I dont get why you cant just type normally and not like you're competing in some le epic slam poetry competition. Im sure you think you're more spiritual and smart for typing like that, but... Just no kid
it's because they don't have anything to say but want to appear as if they do. you'll notice also that all their replies are non committal in an "I know something you don't" kind of way. they don't actually know anything, though, it's just a weird game they play
People communicate the way they want to. Feel about it the way you want.
Wow, he's got pretty big tits right?
The people that do not like a certain style of communication have vented their frustration. Please do not feel discouraged to post your insights.
Justin don't even try to pretend your a different poster.
We know your typing style faggot.
Who is Justin?
The OP of these threads.
He uses the same meditating Wojack image.
He comes from /soc/ and /x/ and is a literally schizophrenic who uses tinfoil and a Faraday cage.
I am not the same person. I am just enjoying the contents of this thread in my own way.
Suffering is a choice that I made and I don't know how to reverse it anymore. And even if I knew, I couldn't. Therefore suffering isn't a choice anymore.
how can you talk about will power after what you said in the op? you don't understand what you're saying.
>And I quote
What's the source?
>this is what I learned from DMT
What did you see?
I am fairly content with being an expendable cog, because if I wasnt, I would've did something with it already.
Not even this philosophy can save me now. My life is a hell beyond imagining and its state is entirely the fault of my subconscious mind. I directed things to their current state. I cannot be alone in my own mind, my mind is screaming. Every night I have nightmares of the event repeating itself endlessly.
Have you ever thought about why schizophrenics always talk about the same concepts and symbols?
Its always good vs evil, aliens, jews(manipulators/deceivers), reptilians(pyschopaths), etc etc.
You cannot deny that there is a peculiarity to the fact that it's always the same things despite the fact that these people have had no contact with eachother. They all came to these ideas on their own, independently, and they all came to those ideas.
There is something to it

Thank you very much for that, how did you reach that insight?
Dieser Lebenstraum ist fast vorbei, und ich kann endlich einschlafen.
My mental state keeps worsening with time quitting booze made me realize how fucked i truely am and the roller coaster keeps descending REEEEEE
Ride the ride.
Buddhism is toxic cope
What a profound statement. I like the balance of 50% buzzwords. Keep up the good work.
Triggered much? That's kinda optional to ignore, you know?
Believe whatever you want to believe. Project whatever emotions you want to project on my statement.
The cringeworthy irony of your own solipsistic projections, dear. You're feeding your ego to protect a philosophy that brings misery and power imbalances for centuries. If you think you know better, try playing devil's advocate in an intelelctually honest manner and read opposing philosophies, for what it seems you only reas what you like. End of the day, buying buddhist beliefs is a choice, but if you gonna make it, at least have the decency to honestly acknowledge others
External realities precede consciouness. That's what brought civilization and progress to develop, otherwise just go see all those coping curries in their miserable shithole, I'm not sure I'd like that here nor we're in the same position we were back on their days. No amount of epistemologically dishonest arguments should legitimate power imbalances between people, or neglect a natural sense of justice when there's abuse between those.
It's easy to talk idealistic crap from your pampered life, but end of the day, real world has real problems that can and should get solved in material, concrete ways, not by forcing yout mind to run away like an ostrich
I'm 95% sure you've got me confused with someone else in this thread.
>do this
>works fine for a bit, but then my mind pushes back with more intense nightmares
Fuck you. Genuinely fuck you for suggesting that the pain I feel is my choice. I would give everything to feel content, but all I can feel is extreme boredom or sadness. I have tried everything.
a necessary reminder for all bots
Ram ram
May peace, love and understanding be with all beings and posters of this board.
>all I can feel is extreme boredom or sadness.
Then meditate, in some years you will be enlightened and you won't feel neither sadness nor boredom
It's what I am doing, we can make it, fren
Fuck off buddhist trash, I'm sure African AIDS babies just have a bad attitude huh?
Form is void, and void is form
The same is true for feelings, perceptions, volitions, and consciousness
Buddhism is actually gaining a following in Uganda
