Why because his attitude doesn't match your Pollyanna style?  How exactly is he whining?

thanks icelander..

yeah I am only contemplating reality as a whole, and wondering how it was possible that "I" made it and am here now.

Like "I" was always meant to be..just as you, and everybody else.. Even people who did/do really evil stuff.. They must have a purpose..but why?

these sperm-people have failed to understand one universal truth, a beautifully all encompassing truth: life is the reward!!! we all made it! sure we used to be in competition with the other sperm, but we ALL WON! we all made it to the promise land. i wish people would shed their tails and become the humans that they are. proud,divine,loving, eternal beings. no winning or losing, just being. peace.



Of course, everyone else is deluded, you and the people you agree with are the enlightened ones. Isn't that the way it always goes? :thumbup:

Those people that have the competitive fire inherit in their actions, those who are always seeking to discover someone with whom they may "clash" perse, those, indeed, wishing for others to acknowledge their request for a challenge and will go out of their ways to pursue an invitation to be joined into a challenge in which they had no competitors worthy of being near such a mighty prophet, as if the fact that a prophet much more important than yourself feels degraded by the sheer fact that you think you are able to surround yourself around him without thinking of the consequences of your action.

Indeed, certain people are prone to discussing how to take someone out of the picture in order to gain their own advantage to dispel them from trying to rid you of your initial request. For we may indeed see that many people wish to ignore those persons who are so intent on challenging anyone whom dares to defy the imperial command of a Roman military adviser.

Since we are going to be engaged in war with the French, and indeed knowing this the likely possibility we might wish to abandon our former troops and recruit new ones to join the rank and file of one so high above us. Some troops will obviously be "thrown out" of the camp and no longer be acknowledged as anyone you wish to have on your firing team on account of the realization that yours far surpasses theirs and you no longer would ever dare regard them as a serious contender against such a great person.

I agree that there are certain people that naturally are so intent on starting a fight that you can see they have none of those gentle traits which are so admirable in someone. They usually won't even invite you to go to their house, as if you even desiring to invite yourself to his house was some harsh offense that you neede to be punished for. So whenever you tried to gain admission into a house you were no longer wanted at you would see that the person that owned the house sold it to a Russian farmer three years before you originally even received the invite and would conclude in an air that would evidently point to the fact that the person in command knew exactly how to act in this situation.

For sometimes we will be denied every opportunity to attain an invite to a house which we should never dared have entered, and despite our numerous attempts to "persuade" someone to talk to the owner of the house in order to try to make him give you one which you knew deep down you didn't truly deserve, would, indeed, make it apparent that the person you persuaded also may have wished to gain an invite and thus would make you feel as if you weren't alone in that "you needed to be here".

True.

Most here do not get the fact that neither the OP nor anyone else won a sperm race, but was the outcome of the race plus time plus a zillion other factors. This is a huge difference and not semantics.

This is akin to people saying that someone was lucky to be born a specific gender in a specific country. It doesn't make sense because there are no people in a pre-birth waiting room spinning a roulette wheel to choose what country they will be born in.

The culture that I won is incredibly dumb. I'm still struggling to find something worth looking at. So many omnipotent idiots had far too much control over my reality, non of them had any decency to notice their own incompetence so they never cut any slack. My own incompetence seems to be the only thing worth looking at. I read a shit ton of shitty books to figure that out.

There does seem to be some genuinely sustainable faith, optimism, focus and passion in my life now. Guess this was inevitable.

That's very cool. What is the basis for this faith and optimism?  Do you mind sharing?

It is an apt phrase, not because the egg takes the form of material goods and appearance but because those things have been known to lead to sex. In that game winners are procreating, not being procreated. Life as a reward is a subjective metric and it would be just as correct/incorrect to suggest that some other metric is the reward.

what you speak of resembles an imbalance in masculine and feminine energy. its a shame!

yes, add this one to the big book of endless neuroticisms/complexes/games/entrapping thought-behavioral patterns that living in ego results in


thing is, all but one who is a buddha/completely transcends consciousness (i wonder what that entails?) is free from their own complex, their own game. you have one, i have one. the question is, how free are we from it? how identified are we with it?

brilliant connection rahz. this kind of thinking is a great example of how more abstract ideas manifest themselves on more practical terms. the very nature of the masculine energy has to do with penetration, with reaching the egg. thus those with excessive/overcompensating masculine energy will  be stuck on/fixed with aspects that ideologically get them closer to the egg, in better standings for procreation.

Consider this synopsis of Robert S. deRopp's book, The Master Game. This has been very influential in my own development,and that of my oldest friend.

Thanks Apeman. I've been feeling pretty down on myself for all my of past/present failure in achieving success. This does make me feel better. Sometimes I just need to be reminded that life is beautiful and each day on earth is a reward. Need to focus on being happy with the things I have instead of what I don't have, and place more value on relationships not things.

Probably helps this outlook that I had one of the most beautiful/ecstatic DMT experiences of my life last night, but hey :P
