I am pleading with you to go to a church or even better, find a Buddhist practice group, learn more about the practice of yoga, something.
You will never be happy if you continue to pursue success and wealth accumulation and hard work and therapy as solutions to all your problems.
The boomers have traumatized damn near the whole world and embedded their corrupt worldview so deeply that nobody can even understand what it means to be HUMAN anymore. They have destroyed our sense of community, decimated our planet, and hijacked our brains in the name of power and money.
I am pleading to you to reject this miserable life by finding peace within, by embracing spiritual healing and community. Most of us have been traumatized in some way by modern life that prevents us from realizing our inner bliss.
Resolving our issues and achieving true happiness MUST come from within though. The way to achieve this is through spiritual healing. Detox, meditation, rituals, yoga, prayer are some examples that will allow your energetic blockages to be located and overcome, allowing your energy to flow freely, giving you supreme control over your own destiny.
Our culture’s rejection of religion and spirituality is what led the world to become so corrupted. Western values of freedom and liberty are now ancient history, the family unit has never been weaker, same with our love and compassion for others. 2026 will be a tipping point as the world moves to reject materialism and embrace spirituality. Only then will we be capable of reclaiming our civilization.

It needs to be acceptable to go to church and say you're agnostic like the Jews do. How come Christians don't do that? Spiritual shit has benefits even if you don't believe in most of it and even if you think all of it is trash church is still an excuse to meet cute girls at the potluck or whatever

Spirituality is going to get big in the coming years. Instead of endless brainless "is god reel?" discussions, people will systemize spiritual practices that are useful for cultivating mental health, positive relationships, harmonious communities and so forth.
This will coincide with ET disclosure and rapid technological advances in AI, robots, automation. People will be incentivized to be less individualistic and egotistical, so they can get that sweet UBI and get to live in the free housing pods in the good neighborhood. We will worship "higher powers", that are actually observable and tangible: i.e. advanced AIs and ETs.

Christianity is not about being a good person to get good things. If you think that, you completely missed the point.
>>
>>34414696
Anyone can come to church. You don't have to be a Christian to attend.
>>
>>34414890
Correct, most Christians are far from decent

>It needs to be acceptable to go to church and say you're agnostic like the Jews do. How come Christians don't do that?
Catholicism and Orthodoxy both permit obedience of faith no matter how much there is doubt of the intellect. It's mostly Prot heretics that demand you believe fully before you get to come to church

lol
the only good thing zoomers inherited from us millennials is the disregard for religions and a healthy skepticism of spiritual (AKA invisible) things.

You're so attached to pot that when a cop pulls you over for a speeding ticket and says I'll just give you a warning just let me pull up your license and you're free to go, you drive off into a chase. Come on anon, stop it with this shit. Nice people exist.

woo woo

might as well just lift at the gym, or run, or cycle, or any other physical activity
>>
I agree that spirituality or whatever is important but going to church isn't really my thing. I find that church is like any group setting and may start off focused on spiritual growth but usually becomes about power and control. Really I just want to transcend materialism and pursue something more meaningful.

Same shit crowd you'll find elsewhere.
>>34414890
Christianity is about adhering to their faith, which makes them superior people that get special attention from their creator and rewards in the afterlife. The difference is that they believe it makes them good. After seeing how their fruits (kids) made out to be, I'd call them crazy instead.
>>
>>34415087
Goodness, justice, truth, compassion, generosity, mercy and integrity are all invisible things. Having skepticism towards the invisible is extremely unhealthy. Learning that the invisible is objectively more real, more concrete, and more everlasting than the visible is what it means to leave Plato's cavern.

Christianity is literally and entirely about rejecting that mindset specifically. You just described the behavior and beliefs of the pharisees who killed and rejected Christ. Christianity, from top to bottom, is about being good for goodness's sake with no hope for reward. "The Kingdom of Heaven" is the attitude that you create here and now in this life with a loving and selfless attitude.

We are in the middle of the Apocalypse and it shows.

Society already is divided in 3.5/4.
3.5 are the cattle, 0.5 the remnants dissidents.
The internet is owned by them, everything is controlled by them while we control almost nothing except partially where we can choose to go and die.
Diagnosis: We lost, no organization on our side, the NWO is heading strongly toward their goal, which is total control of peoples lives through digital surveillance and technology.
While we are all divided between meaningless reasons and most refuse to acknowledge the truth.
Christ here, Allah there, YHWH here, Buddha there.
Truth is God and pathetically everyone who says they fight the good cause doesn't know it and avoids it at all costs.
There will come a point where we have to choose to do what is right or retreat to the mountains in order to die off with the knowledge that we did absolutely jack shit to try and change things.
Fuck politics, fuck false religions, fuck scientism, and most of all fuck whoever gave their responsibility up to someone else instead of developing within them the true will.
>>
>>34415621
The problem isn't with false religions(apart from modern judaism). Christianity and Buddhism and Neoplatonism all explicitly state that God is truth. The problem is with false followers who never put any effort towards understanding those religions. There are thousands of books from the desert fathers and Tibetan Buddhists describing how to develop perfect love, but I've never met anyone who claims to be religious who was willing to take the time to read the works of the saints. They think casual attendance and occasional scripture is enough, which has never been the case and never will be.

Church is about socializing.
>>
>>34415631
And religion is explicitly about not socializing. Spending time in stillness and solitude is one of the pillars of every religion for good reason, but most people try to forego it to their own detriment.

During mass sure, after that it's all about socializing and breeding. Christianity is a fertility cult like many others.
>>
>>34415637
Christianity is primarily about contemplation. Not just during mass, your entire life needs to be lived contemplatively if you're going to be a sincere Christian. "Be fruitful and multiply" doesn't even refer to bearing children. It refers to the virtues. You're supposed to withdraw into stillness and multiply your virtues, to bear the fruit of good and honest conduct after rigorous self analysis.

No, yoga is about much more than training your body, it involves training your mind body and spirit
>>34415580
I strongly recommend looking into Buddhism, monotheism is fucked over by wvil people that claim god is telling them to do the horribly selfish things that ruin it for other people.
>>
>>34415769
Buddhism is monotheistic, it just describes the ultimate in an apophatic manner rather than a positive one. In Buddhism there is an ultimate, called Sunyata, or the ground of compassion. But it's described by what it isn't, more often than by what it is, which is why it often translates to "emptiness". But it's important to note that emptiness is not nothingness. The logical arguments that monks use are very, very clear on this. If emptiness were nothingness, then nothing could exist because nothingness is not capable of sustaining causes and conditions. In essence Sunyata is no different from the Platonic One or the Pythagorean Monad.
>>
>>34415777
The tradition I have been following does not teach of any deity.
>>
>>34415783
Sunyata is a core concept for every lineage, whether it stems from Mahayana or Theravada. It's the grounds of reality, rather than a personification or deity. It might help to understand it by thinking of the Buddha as the embodiment of Reason, whereas Sunyata is synonymous with Truth. Enlightenment means realizing your inherent Buddha-nature via reason and arriving at ultimate Truth, which is emptiness or Sunyata. Reality begins and ends at a singular fixed point, which is what it means for a theological system to be monotheistic.
>>

Cope harder Glowie.
>>
>>34415783
Of course not, not to you, not yet, because you are a low level pleb. Maybe in your denomination, everybody is nice, I don't know. At least Buddhists are fully open to argumentation and reasoning.

Also its not a deity, but it is. Everything is a deity. Also, it doesn't matter if your denomination told you so. What the guy said is clearly correct. Go to an intelligent monk of yours and ask him.

starting to think most modern spiritualists are really just materialists who want to feel special
>The way to achieve this is through SPIRITUAL healing
>Detox, (avoiding toxins that harm your material body)
>meditation, rituals, yoga, prayer (regulating your material nervous system)
>energetic blockages to be located and overcome (pseudoscience)
"Toxins" "rituals" "energy", it's all just vague woowoobabble to make medicine sound like magic
>>
>>34416537
I’ve found that smoking weed (one hit every couple weeks) I physically feel the energy I’m talking about. When I meditate while high I ca literally feel the front part of my brain shutting off and all my energy flowing throughout my chakras. I’ve overcome blockages in my sacral and root chakras and it felt like a huge jolt of energy was passing through them, rewiring my neurons. Which makes sense, since they are a hindu tradition and canabis is from that area natively.
