One thought came to me that of something that I'm am very afraid of,that I've been afraid of happening to me after going on p.Getting poked in the belly button or any pain from my belly button for that matter.I have very bad memeories of that happening to me as a child.To me it's such a bizarre pain.It's not like getting a burn or frostbite where tissue is in pain b/c of an altered temperature or getting punched where you feel blunt force trauma.It's more like this oddly paralyzing and numbing feeling that (IMO)...is like more primal than sex.Somehow I have feeling that the fact that it use to be the place where our umbilical cords use to be,through which we got nutrients and water when we were in the womb has something to do with it.Hay..asta escribi que nadia huviera tener pena para responderme aqui y casi nadie a respondido en este sitio -_-,y no es como si tengio ganas de escribir otra cosas afueda de aqui."

Still pondering whether I am clever enough to class myself as a dork

PS, I consider 'dork' to be a compliment, regardless of its negative connotations. Dorks are clever, and the internet and video games and many other things would not exist without them.

EDIT intertw*t, cos it's full of tw*ts. Like me

I have a lot to say, both random and not, but I simply can't be arsed saying much. Check back in a few weeks or months for my next cry for attention

True.
I do want to see Christopher Robin.

"In the Intermediate section of the Stages of Meditation by Kamalashila, he writes:Moved by compassion[karunā], Bodhisattvas ['Buddhist-saints'] take the vow to liberate all sentient beings. Then by overcoming their self-centered outlook, they engage eagerly and continuously in the very difficult practices of accumulating merit and insight. Having entered into this practice, they will certainly complete the collection of merit and insight. Accomplishing the accumulation of merit and insight is like having omniscience itself in the palm of your hand. Therefore, since compassion [ever so connected with empathy] is the only root of omniscience, you should become familiar with this practice from the very beginning"

"Recently I remembered about a movie called "Jacob's ladder" which was alos the inspiration for the first "Silent hill" movie.There are various movies out there that can be called "religious horror" movies which use concepts that are simplified and and similar visuals of like infernal stuff,overusing them.I think that a reason for the recent appeal of all these horror movies on possesion -_-.

Yet this movie has a different angle/take on soteriology shown by the Meister Eckhart citation said by a massage guy

Eckhart saw Hell too. He said: The only thing that burns in Hell is the part of you that won't let go of life, your memories, your attachments. They burn them all away. But they're not punishing you, he said. They're freeing your soul. So, if you're frightened of dying and... and you're holding on, you'll see devils tearing your life away. But if you've made your peace, then the devils are really angels, freeing you from the earth. It's just a matter of how you look at it, that's all. So don't worry, okay?

Even though the apparently complementing by the Meister Eckhart cite complemented it was actually a mis-taking of Eckhart as shown on this site http://www.ellopos.net/mail/eckhart-jacob-ladder.html (but I still find those said movie lines to be very unique and not feel as construed as a lot of other stuff in how it's delivering it's message).

I was hoping you could tell me which Eckhart text is the source for the now-famous quotation of him in the movie, Jacob's Ladder. The quote runs: "The only thing that burns in hell is the part of you that won't let go of your life: your memories, your attachments. They burn them all away, but they're not punishing you, they're freeing your soul. If you're frightened of dying and you're holding on, you'll see devils tearing your life away. If you've made your peace, then the devils are really angels freeing you from the earth."

This is not a quotation, rather a (bad) attempt for relevant teachings of Meister Eckhart to be interpreted and summarized for the needs of the movie.

Here are quotations (which are indeed by Eckhart) related with this subject:

"They ask, what burns in hell? Authorities [the Fathers] usually reply: “This is what happens to willfulness” [to individual will, self-interest]. But I say it is “Not” [it is the Nothing] that is burned out [that burns] in hell. For example: suppose a burning coal is placed in my hand. If I say the coal burns me I do it a great injustice. To say precisely what does the burning, it is the “Not”. The coal has something in it that my hand does not. Observe! It is just this “Not” that is burning me – for if my hand had in it what the coal has, and can do what the coal can do, it, too, would blaze with fire, in which case all the fire that ever burned might be spilled on this hand and I should not feel hurt." (Speech 5b, DW Ι)

"Whatever state we find ourselves in, whether in strength or in weak-ness, in joy or in sorrow, whatever we find ourselves attached to, we must abandon. . . . You must give up yourself, altogether give up self, and then you have really given up ... By renouncing yourself first, you then have renounced all things. ... A man who loves God could give up the whole world as easily as an egg." (Speech 30, DW II)

"What is the prayer of the detached heart? I answer that detachment and purity cannot pray. For if anyone prays he asks God that something may be given to him, or asks that God may take something away from him. But the detached heart does not ask for anything at all that it would like to be rid of. Therefore it is free from all prayer." (On Detachment, DW V).

I think this is a VERY nicely different take on what would have to happen for someone to end up in the infernal place besides "Your feeling God's wrath and anger you sinner!" or "Your going to h--- for being a p addict" both of which aren't even a proper take on theodicy imo."

Coffee is knowledge. Knowledge is cake

Dare I allow myself to 'follow up' on your words with something rather morbid and in which 'your mileage may vary' but to me not killing yourself is half the battle.

A part of me, might subconsciously crave to 'compare myself' to other persons on social assistance and see how questionably irresponsible they might be next to me to make myself feel better. My neighbours come to my mind somewhat.

Daddy Yankee and Drake both come to my mind looking at Eamon Doyle.

In the early days of America, Benjamin Franklin once published an essay in which he mentioned that the US population growth was so fast it could easily beat the UK within 100 years.

This worried British government so much that this was a factor in the oppression of the colonies.
