@davidrodgersNJ ...Could you possibly elaborate your question?

@mauricevdkal at first it wasnt like that but it is deppressing how even when offered help people want to be blind most people ive encountered are like this i try not to be biased but i cant help it no matter how bad it is i still try to help those who listen and that i can learn from too but thats hard when it gets so bad you wanna die every single day

There is no checking out in the US. Not unless you purchase a piece of land $60k for 5 acres of desert land in Cali. Than you need an aquaponics system, a solar energy system and or wind energy, a small biodiesal plant, a biodiesal vehicle to transport your organic fruits and vegetable that you make just enough selling at farmer's market to cover your taxes for the land you don't really own. Than you'll need animals for protein. Even than you wouldn't be REALLY checked out. Still a slave
I sold everything I got and bought a farm in the country south of Chile.
After that my life begun to makes sense once more. After a year or two of finding my place and activities in this place I really find happyness in all my days and nights.
For those who feel the call of the hermit I say fight for it and be who you want to be.
1990 is when i checked out...its not easy without money in ones pocket mind. I wish i could find a group of loving folk who welcome people like me into there group...thats even harder...peace to you all
@bobbygnosis i was thinking the same thing :) i'm a writer here in Belgium and we (some friends and girlfriends) are going for it. We're taking the trip to Europe to visit temples, have fun, write, drink, experiment, dance and live life :) One guy in our group even quit his job for it. i'm very excited cause i wil keep writing when we're travelling. It's like Watts said here: "we are watching you, we love you but we don't wanna play the game." thats exactly what i said to my girlfriend yesterday
Alan's my go to guy, when the loneliness gets to much, i stick him on,close my eyes and find my respect for life flood back in, then i let my imagination run, and what do you know im o.k for a few days, then i get down, and around and round we go!!!
@4917314106726598 I am the same way. I wonder what would happen if we didn't "cling" to Alan because as he and many others have said - there isn't anything to hold on to.
Then there are those who would always view themselves as "on the fringe". The ones who think they know or are "enlightened". People love to say that when they have a huge following that they are right. And proclaim that they are right about others being wrong when most disagree. Societies are always divided up in extremes. Everyone knows that to be balanced in everything is the way. But they just don't know how.
Individuals are complex in covering up their insecurities. Ironically, the realization that wealth isn't everything, leads more people to levitate towards religion. They hate to associate their belief in a god as part of an organized religion. However, they are still part of this notion of conforming without truly thinking for themselves. People are not critical enough when relying on their personal train of reasoning and anecdotal evidence. One illusion for another.
People (me included) keep assuming that anyone knows more about reality and the universe than them, so they feel inferior. Feeling inferior makes a lot of them bring others down so they have someone to feel superior too.
@bobbygnosis What do you mean by "God"? Call it an organization, a community or a small group centered around any god concept. These gods are still memes. Projections of human guilt, fear, ego, imagination and desire.
@LameCrippled Memes are memes. God is god. God is not meme. Meme is not god.
I agree that TBN is retarded, but TBN is not the arbiter / representative of God. My only point is that categorical condemneation of spirituality or teachings of religions is aburd.
@bobbygnosis Never heard of TBN(I'm not american). I googled it, so I guess you are talking about a christian broadcasting network. Are you a pantheist, panentheist or something? I view criticisms for these different categories(namely abrahamic religions) as a way to counter active proselytizers and ridiculous evangelical dribble. Whether these religions wrongfully represent god is not even a concern. I personally have no problems and even have respect for most other religions & their teachings.
@LameCrippled I am not a pantheist partly on the grounds that it would constitute a belief in something. Not that I'm a nihilist. Ridicule of anything seems to miss the point. Condemnation without investigation is the height of ignorance. Since nothing can be 'fully' investigated nothing can be really known. Which would make any condemnation inherently absurd. I no longer think in terms of good and evil. Without conflict there would be nothing.
@bobbygnosis "Condemnation without investigation is the height of ignorance. Since nothing can be 'fully' investigated nothing can be really known." I agree to an extent. However, within the framework of what is already known to this day, it is possible to "condemn" unsubstantiated claims. e.g creationism.
No one can ever claim to be 100% certain except those of ignorance. Science knows that what is seen as a fact today, may change tomorrow >> IF evidence or the means of observation changes.
@LameCrippled Creationism in the TBN sense seems pretty retarded, I'll agree. But technically we don't really know. I'm not in any way advocating creationism. I'm just saying that I wasn't there. No one on this planet knows what the happened before their nervous systems started functioning. By this criteria evolution is also an unsubstantiated claim. It makes a bit more sense, but it doesn't explain DNA / RNA / Cambrian Cxplosion. More complex than modern computers and yet accidental.
@LameCrippled Also I don't hold scientific method to quite the high esteem many others do. It's all fine and well and I use it all the time, but it's not all THAT great. Compare a dog to a human. Our actions are so complex and elaborate and mysterious to dogs. They watch with rapt attention with no idea what the hell it is we're doing. Calculus is beyond any dog. The sanctity of marriage vows are beyond a dog.
That is exactly our position in the universe. Scientific method or no, we're dunces.
@vincikd007bg008 LOL, that is idiotic. Who taught you how to write the letters composing your post? Who taught you anything you knew up until you were done with High School? Pffft. You must be taught solidly BEFORE you can transcend and become your own point of origin. And even then, it's not a solid assertion.
Yes that is hard, but the harder thing is to reach mystical states while still living within the corrupting forces of society. Of course periods of retreat and respite will be useful, but maintaining a connection with the culture and society will better allow one to show others the way. If one is more detached from interaction, no one will be able to learn from your example or wise words.
The world needs lay practitioners as much as it does monks
Alan is king! i myself have always felt like a stranger given my shy, introverted ways. yet i think this seemingly unfortunate fate has, on the other hand, enabled me to see deeper into the realities of consciousness, the pointlessness of much of our social undertakings, and the beautiful potential of a higher consciousness. the hardest thing tho is shrugging off the shame and guilt the outsider is conditioned to feel, in order to keep us in line. it runs so deep
Great observation. That is so true. Once you realize what life is about you know longer "play the game." You are no longer trying to "be somebody or something." You just "ARE." Therefore you end up not talking very much but enjoying life a whole lot more. People may think you are weird and crazy lol, but it no longer matters. Nothing really does. I think they "seem" introverted but it isn't because they are "shy." It is because there is no "need" to BS. No insecurities.
@DoNotBeHighandMighty I agree. I'm often called miserable and cynical because I don't TALK MUCH! I don't frown or bully, accuse or berate. People see quiet people as a threat to their extravegance, the quiter the person the more he thinks. You're not allowed to think now, that's why our populations attention span is crammed into 30 second tid bits :)
I'm a semi-hermit because people these days are such morons and I find it painful to be around people who don't think as deeply as I do (my perceptions).
I believe as we think so we attract. When I change my thinking, "they" will change.
xrock4 people hang with other people mostly cause they are lonely, are scared of and hate themselves, and feel like nobody likes them (lack culture thinking). people hang by themselves mostly cause they aren't lonely, love themselves, and know they can hang with people anytime they want (abundant culture thinking). the scary, angry, violent, vampires are generally the "extrovert" "people" persons. love them, have compassion, and be wary of them. conformity is self loathing, self destruction.
@takepills Some people are born to be loners, others are born to be extroverts. No need for extra analysis. Just as some are born to be tall and some to be short. Not all personality is a result of society. Some of it is biological.
do unto others as they have done unto you. We do not need the universe and we do not need others. We can love ourselves and leave everyone else behind. Love is a lie and life is madness. Spiritual pride is ultimate and powerful. Let's embrace the free you and the free me, that means let us sin and do good, let us do whatever we want whether it be good or evil. Let us take revenge on those who have wronged us, let us be masters of our own domain, our own universe, for I proclaim myself as master
My sister and I were talking about this the other day. A simpler life. Too much have to have and chasing the dollar. I am so exhausted stressing over it. I was so ambitious and yet I am 40 and exhausted. In the movie Bourne Supreme (I think) there was the scene when they were living by the water. I watch that movie just to see that scene. So calm.
Id recommend anyone who wants more of this to get the full 12 disc set Out of your Mind to understand this in context. It contains most of his lectures in order. I beliv this is the last part of dis 9 or 10
but you hafta be wary of others wanting to force you to give up your freedoms for their betterment cuz they are there. we sould try to be free and easy but we are not separate from the world outside conditions that may try to force us in their game. islam, orthodox judaism or christianity.there are things valuble enuf to fight die and live for.
Every human perception, thought, decision and action is a product of the degree and quality to which one accepts and conveys the underlying law of nature.
Google it (i.e., the underlying law of nature).
New information about the underlying law of nature has been made available online very recently.
As I try to explain such a way of life described here to my parents only to feel an intense sadness knowing they have devoted their lives to a piece of paper called money and that they are a product of the industrial revolution brainwashed by smart marketers to feel worthy of their cause. And in turn unions and management agree that they ought to sell the time of their lives working in exchange for survival when such a free and simple form of survival exists right before our very eyes.
Yes, there is..It may not be easy. It's easiest if you don't have a lot of ideas to swallow, beliefs to get rid of. But if you do, then try with all your heart to notice when you're being in the future or past, notice this clearly, and bring yourself to this present moment where your hands are, and your body is being. Over and over if you do this you become the master of your mind, and thoughts will stop, because most thoughts concern later, or before, not now.
At the end when he say's That there's is something more than Government. He continued to say " Not every body could live like a bunch of lonely loosers, We need someone to make our lives look better. In reality what do they have.? We're not all like that, We need some touch too you know, It's a hard life to live without touch.
When I was reading Alan Watt's books, I pictured him as a boring man with grey hair & glasses. It's great to see that he looks as interesting as he talks...and he laughs a lot. It makes philosophy seem less dry & cultured
of course...thats why you dream....its very painful and tiring for the soul to be in the body....so dreaming is the souls way of escaping to home ...thats why I think death/life are the same thing....the game never ends
of course they are illusions...good call....the minute you see that everyone had different ideas about whats right and wrong...you see its just a frame of reference...not a truth of any kind
hmmm didnt think about that till you said that....so even the watcher is watched....kind of makes sense....always good to know there are people who understand more than you...I hope our civilization is being watched....that would give me a lot of hope
I'm a hermit because I've been rejected for most of my life. I've learned many things thanks to the isolation my fear has provided. I believe we are simple creatures, obsessed with pleasure. Even those who claim to lead a life free of excessive stimulation are pleased by expressing that to others. I believe my fear of life replaced my fear of death many years ago. I know I'm just as selfish as anyone else. Is there a way to accept this reality, be at peace, and not delude myself?
all u gotta do is evolve ur selfishness by making it serve all. just sit still, lock ur door, burn that dross, cultivate awe-sum w ur new in=sight. then share that shit fool! ur story is what does the do. show that ppl don't need to be prostitutes to survive. its dif for everyone. listen to that intuition. it won't let u down ever. feed it make grow. planet awe-sum.
@fetalbetal I think you need to look into the eyes of somebody you trust or love. A family relative, or something like that.
Really stare at that pupil...the blackness that from which EVERYTHING else arises. And that might give you an incentive to live, and not to stagnate. I wouldn't recommend staring at your own just yet.
@fetalbetal Thanks fetal, I've got social problems too, and these insecure societies are very intolerant of people on the edges.
But equally they need people like us to feel that they fit in. They depend on you, and they haven't got the guts to be where you are, they are habitual and love walking and talking alike. But If you are an outsider, you have an understanding of who you are, and who they are better than anyone else. That's the reward I think...
@fetalbetal Couldn't of said it any better... Something I've learned is that connections with people are rare. It's good to strike when the connection is strong, especially with the opposite sex. If you feel the connection then they should also. The problem is that people are afraid of attachment because of hurt feelings... but they forget the ebb and flow. Intense pleasure may lead to intense pain, life...
@fetalbetal Yes. Accept it. Every person for a different purpose. Some are born to be happy extroverts, some are born to be thinking loners. Comparing our state of mind against a society's idea of "normal" is what Alan is talking about. Forget the outside. Inside is yours and only yours. It is not meant to fit them. They will fit you.
@xrock4 What do you think the purpose is? I can't help but believe we are expanding through space waiting to die. This makes me very sad because that makes all pain in vain. Pain is contagious, unrelenting, and perverse.. What is the purpose of pain? An alert to the brain to adapt maybe? But when the body or mind can no longer adapt, or never could, pain overwhelms and suffocates.
@fetalbetal We all die. It's what you do with yourself from birth to death. Happiness is contagious as well. Spend some time everyday smiling. The body works two ways. Mentality affects the body and the body affects mentality. By smiling the mind will get the message to be happy. Try it and you will see. Smile right now and hold it for five minutes. You will feel happier. Keep smiling. Try it everyday. Standing straight with head high will make you more confident. The power is yours.
@xrock4 I only smile on drugs.. I've abstained for long periods of time but only frowned. I've tried smiling and thinking positive.. it has helped but I can never temporarily escape without chemicals, insomnia, and escapist delusions. Unless the mercury in my teeth causes my asocial behavior and voting is meaningless in a corrupt government. If that's the case I suffer from reality, a reality in which I trade money for confidence. I'm not complaining, just trying to explain. I avoid a lot.
@beta447 I mean that my belief that my mercury-amalgam fillings could cause my social anxiety is often considered fringe conspiracy nonsense.. which I see a good argument for as well. And my stance that voting is meaningless in a careless society is considered bad by almost everyone.. for a good enough reason I guess. I just wonder if I'm wrong about my teeth and just using it as an excuse for my diagnosis of bipolar 2 adhd(bs I think). I've lived in my own place for over 6 years now. cld b isl
@fetalbetal Perhaps determine the mass of your fillings, then the maximum that could have found its way into circulation, and finally how many neurons could be killed by the given mass of escaped substance.
@tsKlemp Hmm I could look into that.. sometimes I feel pretty stupid talking about how mercury shouldnt be in teeth but I find the arguments against them very convincing.. We need a robotic super brain to judge our problems unbiased. In the year 3000?
@fetalbetal It's up to you brother. Decide to be happy. Positive thinking is an amazing thing. Learn to dance. Learn social dynamics and go outside, make friends, pick up girls. Life is great.
@xrock4 My fear of rejection/ humiliation has kept me from ever really being able to approach girls.. that depresses me a lot because they want confidence and that seems so far from me usually. I do have to work at it and you are right. Thank you.
@fetalbetal There are techniques to social interactions. It is quite easy really. People are animals that react to body language and speech quite predictably. Put that smile on your face and study. Happy times lay ahead (get it? "lay ahead" I meant that to have a sexual double meaning...)
@fetalbetal ohhh i was just like you when yung. ill tell you wat gets you over this problem. you have to become involved in activities preferably with girls but you must think about the activity you havta be in the mind of concentrating on wat ur doing so as to keep those imobilizing fears at bay. you have to delve into life. you like these girls but you kno wen you break it down theyre no diff mentally than u.
@fetalbetal i feel ya brosef. I am in the army infantry so naturally i am surrounded by psychologically crippled individuals throughout my day. but where they begin to think i am a hermit is because i would rather hide in my room than go to the strip club on my days off. or rather i enjoy traveling around europe by myself and not with another. they find me very peculiar
voluntary democracy is ok, majority rule by force(current democracy) is oppressive & immoral though, as it gives governments a monopoly & the right to use violence against peaceful people... which in a free society NO ONE would have the right to do.

There is no checking out in the US. Not unless you purchase a piece of land $60k for 5 acres of desert land in Cali. Than you need an aquaponics system, a solar energy system and or wind energy, a small biodiesal plant, a biodiesal vehicle to transport your organic fruits and vegetable that you make just enough selling at farmer's market to cover your taxes for the land you don't really own. Than you'll need animals for protein. Even than you wouldn't be REALLY checked out. Still a slave

After that my life begun to makes sense once more. After a year or two of finding my place and activities in this place I really find happyness in all my days and nights.
For those who feel the call of the hermit I say fight for it and be who you want to be.

Democracy is legalised slavery, it was never abolished.
Democracy has to be imposed because poverty and jails are the two things that result.
An election merely dictates where the money is spent NOT how much is borrowed.
Check what happened when your parents registered your "birth" with the government.
Find out what the legal act of "Registration" is and what it means.

Then there are those who would always view themselves as "on the fringe". The ones who think they know or are "enlightened". People love to say that when they have a huge following that they are right. And proclaim that they are right about others being wrong when most disagree. Societies are always divided up in extremes. Everyone knows that to be balanced in everything is the way. But they just don't know how.
LameCrippled 1 year ago
Individuals are complex in covering up their insecurities. Ironically, the realization that wealth isn't everything, leads more people to levitate towards religion. They hate to associate their belief in a god as part of an organized religion. However, they are still part of this notion of conforming without truly thinking for themselves. People are not critical enough when relying on their personal train of reasoning and anecdotal evidence. One illusion for another.

I agree that TBN is retarded, but TBN is not the arbiter / representative of God. My only point is that categorical condemneation of spirituality or teachings of religions is aburd.
God is not religion. Religion is not God.
bobbygnosis 9 months ago
@bobbygnosis Never heard of TBN(I'm not american). I googled it, so I guess you are talking about a christian broadcasting network. Are you a pantheist, panentheist or something? I view criticisms for these different categories(namely abrahamic religions) as a way to counter active proselytizers and ridiculous evangelical dribble. Whether these religions wrongfully represent god is not even a concern. I personally have no problems and even have respect for most other religions & their teachings.
LameCrippled 9 months ago
@LameCrippled I am not a pantheist partly on the grounds that it would constitute a belief in something. Not that I'm a nihilist. Ridicule of anything seems to miss the point. Condemnation without investigation is the height of ignorance. Since nothing can be 'fully' investigated nothing can be really known. Which would make any condemnation inherently absurd. I no longer think in terms of good and evil. Without conflict there would be nothing.
Still . . . I do think TBN is pretty douchy.
bobbygnosis 9 months ago
@bobbygnosis "Condemnation without investigation is the height of ignorance. Since nothing can be 'fully' investigated nothing can be really known." I agree to an extent. However, within the framework of what is already known to this day, it is possible to "condemn" unsubstantiated claims. e.g creationism.
No one can ever claim to be 100% certain except those of ignorance. Science knows that what is seen as a fact today, may change tomorrow >> IF evidence or the means of observation changes.
LameCrippled 9 months ago
@LameCrippled Creationism in the TBN sense seems pretty retarded, I'll agree. But technically we don't really know. I'm not in any way advocating creationism. I'm just saying that I wasn't there. No one on this planet knows what the happened before their nervous systems started functioning. By this criteria evolution is also an unsubstantiated claim. It makes a bit more sense, but it doesn't explain DNA / RNA / Cambrian Cxplosion. More complex than modern computers and yet accidental.
Suspect.

@LameCrippled Also I don't hold scientific method to quite the high esteem many others do. It's all fine and well and I use it all the time, but it's not all THAT great. Compare a dog to a human. Our actions are so complex and elaborate and mysterious to dogs. They watch with rapt attention with no idea what the hell it is we're doing. Calculus is beyond any dog. The sanctity of marriage vows are beyond a dog.
That is exactly our position in the universe. Scientific method or no, we're dunces.

Yes that is hard, but the harder thing is to reach mystical states while still living within the corrupting forces of society. Of course periods of retreat and respite will be useful, but maintaining a connection with the culture and society will better allow one to show others the way. If one is more detached from interaction, no one will be able to learn from your example or wise words.

Great observation. That is so true. Once you realize what life is about you know longer "play the game." You are no longer trying to "be somebody or something." You just "ARE." Therefore you end up not talking very much but enjoying life a whole lot more. People may think you are weird and crazy lol, but it no longer matters. Nothing really does. I think they "seem" introverted but it isn't because they are "shy." It is because there is no "need" to BS. No insecurities.

Yes, there is..It may not be easy. It's easiest if you don't have a lot of ideas to swallow, beliefs to get rid of. But if you do, then try with all your heart to notice when you're being in the future or past, notice this clearly, and bring yourself to this present moment where your hands are, and your body is being. Over and over if you do this you become the master of your mind, and thoughts will stop, because most thoughts concern later, or before, not now.

I'm a hermit because I've been rejected for most of my life. I've learned many things thanks to the isolation my fear has provided. I believe we are simple creatures, obsessed with pleasure. Even those who claim to lead a life free of excessive stimulation are pleased by expressing that to others. I believe my fear of life replaced my fear of death many years ago. I know I'm just as selfish as anyone else. Is there a way to accept this reality, be at peace, and not delude myself?

@fetalbetal I think you need to look into the eyes of somebody you trust or love. A family relative, or something like that.

@fetalbetal Thanks fetal, I've got social problems too, and these insecure societies are very intolerant of people on the edges.
But equally they need people like us to feel that they fit in. They depend on you, and they haven't got the guts to be where you are, they are habitual and love walking and talking alike. But If you are an outsider, you have an understanding of who you are, and who they are better than anyone else. That's the reward I think...
