Dr. John Doe is hands down the best specialist in Indianapolis; his office is out in a suburban town. You should probably book at least three months ahead for that reason alone. 🙂

Aeneas said:You were probably just thinking about people actually asking for help.

Even here, you need to filter them out.

Because some people only ask for help because they're lazy or bored.

Once we get this sorted, we can move on 🙂

A true spiritual healer is a rare breed. To heal anyone else, you have to clear out your own baggage first. Most people I know—and I've heard plenty about them—fail because they inevitably fall into an ego trip, acting like they're some kind of enlightened geniuses 🙄 . In my view, a real healer is humble and stays under the radar, focusing on helping others help themselves. They don't waste time on fools who would only end up making things worse. Nothing comes easy. And why should it...?

Untouchable—I assume that means he found a way to protect himself. Or does it?

I was thinking more along the lines of being untouchable to all those opportunists and manipulators who would, God forbid, try to bleed him dry for cash or assets. That's why he stays both untouchable and invisible. 😉 🙂

The best defense against people like that is staying under the radar and keeping an incognito status. He plays it off like, "Oh, I'm just some spiritual guru," as if that's even possible. No, he'd rather just say, 😁 "I'm just your average housewife" 😳 (like a carpenter, a dentist, or a forum moderator 😁...)

Most spiritual and energy healers are really just working overtime to heal their bank accounts. Or better yet, they’re trying to find ways to dodge taxes and stay off the IRS radar. They claim to balance the wealth gap by taking from the rich and giving to the poor—which usually just means giving to themselves.

The more an "healer" advertises, the less they actually care about healing and the more they care about the cash. 🙄 👎

Real ones work incognito without all the hype, keeping things low-key because they don't give a damn about the money. Honestly, I doubt there’s a single decent, high-quality healer left in American culture. If one actually exists, they’re living in the shadows and staying far away from the spotlight.

Alexander Watson said:a) You're head over heels for an amazing girl. You love her endlessly. But her father is a Black man who hates white people. Do you even stand a chance?

b) You finally decide to take your fiancée out to a fancy restaurant. Maybe she wants it, maybe you do, or maybe there's some other reason entirely. But you're broke. She needs a formal dress, you need a tuxedo. Then there's the bill. It would be nice to belong to the upper class, wouldn't it?

c) This girl has dreamed of being a TV news anchor her entire life. But she isn't exactly a looker. She's thin and has terrible skin. Will any network actually hire her?

a) If she’s normal and hasn't inherited her father's prejudices, you have a shot.
b) No. It's easier and nicer to just skip it. You can't buy love anyway.
c) She will, provided she has actual talent. If she's eloquent, knows her literature and philosophy, communicates well, and has a good voice, she'll make it. Skin issues are easy to fix with a little help. Do you honestly think every news anchor is a supermodel when they wake up? Makeup works wonders. 😉
p.s. let's not confuse a real anchor with a teleprompter reader. 😁

No matter how ridiculous those thoughts might be.

hollowviper72 said:Well, you finally showed your true colors. You’re actually a hardcore Flap 🎉 😁

Sure enough.

I'm just a Flap dreaming of being a Stem.😁

Who should be the judge here? Us, or everyone else? There's a massive crowd of losers out there pretending they’re actually high-rollers 😁. You have people acting the part while being total frauds. Then you have the ones who drive actual elites crazy because they’re desperate, pathetic losers who secretly idolize them. Or maybe you have an elite who abandons their principles just because it's easier to coast through life as a mediocre nobody 😁. Real elites don't whine or play the victim; they stay silent and endure. They don't cling to anyone, and they certainly don't hide behind some spiritual movement or its leaders. They don't give a damn about gurus or rules—in fact, they exist to break them, which inevitably leaves them isolated from the herd. An elite stands alone. And that isn't always easy.

I think you're born either a loser or an elite; it's just a matter of when you decide to face reality. There are plenty of reasons why most people would rather just blend into the crowd 🙄

That’s a heavy accusation to throw out there... 😁

It’s pretty foolish to assume someone else is being more of an idiot than you are. 😁

... and that greed for eternal life in Paradise😉

Yeah

without realizing how incredibly boring it actually is

imagine playing the harp for eternity🙂 🙄

your question about whether I feel traces of spiritual intelligence within myself is weird. It's like asking me if I feel any emotions or if I'm just a rock without them.
You claim spiritual intelligence (what a stupid term) is our ability to handle questions like: who am I, why am I here, and what's the point? Someone who has never asked those things isn't suddenly going to start "feeling" them just because you mention Quote : Orion....

By "feeling," I meant how much you actually engage with those questions 🙂. Though, I guess I found the perfect place to ask that—under "spirituality" 😁.
Second, everyone asks these things occasionally, especially during hard times, but the real question is how much work people actually put into finding answers. You won't find them easily, obviously, but the pursuit itself is what defines this type of intelligence.

The concept of SQ is interesting, but it seems even harder to grasp than EQ... maybe... and it's not just for religious people... atheists have it too, perhaps even more developed than many believers. It's simply the ability to find meaning in one's life... from a spiritual perspective... regarding existence itself...

Of course it isn't tied to religious people
they usually show lower IQ scores😁 🙂
because they prefer taking the path of least resistance by accepting whatever dogmas a religious system throws at them rather than investigating for themselves
plus, for most of them, faith is just based on fear
fear of punishment, or hell
though it seems to me the biggest fear is actually being an outcast
which explains why they can't stand anyone being different

but that's a whole other topic... 👋

Since we're in the "spirituality" subforum, I'm not expecting an onslaught from the local, ever-vigilant religious fanatics🙄

...your question about whether I sense traces of spirituality within myself is weird. It's like asking if I feel any emotions or if I'm just a rock without them.
You claim spiritual intelligence—what a ridiculous term, by the way—is our ability to handle questions like who am I, why am I here, and what's the point? Well, someone who hasn't asked those things before isn't going to suddenly start "sensing" them just because you mention Quote : Orion.

Everyone asks those questions eventually.

The real question is how much anyone actually bothers to deal with them later in life.😉

People keep bringing up this term lately. First it was IQ, then back in the mid-nineties we had EQ—emotional intelligence—and now everyone is claiming that SQ, or spiritual intelligence, is the actual foundation for both.

Basically, you start developing it by asking the big ones: who am I, why am I here, and what’s the point of any of this? Once you start digging into those questions, you're working on your SQ and your own awakening. It involves concepts like a universal love for all living things, an understanding of Bog that goes way beyond organized religion, and finally losing that deep-seated fear of death society drilled into us.

So, what's your take? Are you seeing any signs of spiritual intelligence popping up in yourself?

😉

Identifying with someone else's pain...

An incredibly intense sensation.

Boba Fett said:Impressive. If that's the case, I guess I admire you, in a way.

Though, you're talking about the perception of time here, not time itself. If you define time strictly as a sensation in our heads, then sure, fine. But I still maintain it's something our brains simply register—something that exists and moves regardless of us.

Time is a sensation, an experience. Part of your second sentence is right, though if you caught my drift, I was referring to a different state of consciousness where time probably doesn't exist in the way we perceive it in this three-dimensional world. It’s physically impossible for your entire life up to that point to flash before you in a second or two, right? It isn't. That's just a fact. It happened. How do you compress twenty-plus years of data, images, and events into a couple of seconds?

It’s not about reaching a conclusion; it’s about the experience itself.

Look, you get in a wreck, you’re launched from your body, and for a second, you aren't sure if you're alive or dead—but you know you're still there, just... different. Then you’re hovering nearby, looking down at your wrecked car. Suddenly, twenty years of life start unspooling at high speed, yet everything feels frozen, every single frame of those two decades compressed into a fraction of a second. It all happens at once. A lifetime of lost and found memories surfaces in 3D, swirling through the scene. Twenty-plus years passing in a heartbeat. That’s why I lost a few more memories from when I was two or three. 🙂

So, does time exist in a state of consciousness like that? Definitely not. That's a fact, not a promise. 😉 🙂 .

Alex Ramirez40 said:Does time actually exist, or is it just a concept humans invented to make sense of days, months, and years?

It doesn't. I've personally experienced what it's like when time isn't a thing. It was a different state of consciousness, but evidence is evidence 😉. Though, admittedly subjective...

I. l said:Women are actually threatening the biological survival of men at this point. So much for "equality" when they're still just chasing total dominance over us. Where did we go wrong?

😕

Maybe, but specifically in the Netherlands.
Elsewhere in the world, it’s a different story. 🙄

Once men start bleeding every month, then maybe their rights will vanish. 😁 That’s not happening anytime soon.
