some things will never change. some things are just inherent to the human experience. you cant change the laws of the universe. sure. but take a look around. we have cured diseases, created an abundance of wealth and raised standards of living for many. individually we can strife to be better and improve your own life too. that defeatist attitude does nothing while the rest of us is out here building utopia.

Most religions are retarded social clubs and many practices dont translate well to our current state of being.

Start where you're at and do it for everyday practically .

Controlling awareness is your most precious tool, realize you're awareness beyond body and mind.
With a bit of practice you can manipulate your body chemistry with awareness: instantly feel calmer, pump good feefees into your brain, control body temperature etc
Just work on raising your awareness until you begin to feel it others it is realizing same self in everything that is.
Your spiritual practice should be something u do 24/7 in ordinary life not meditating in a cave.

im not gonna deny that modern life has its own unique problems and that there are forces in this world that benefit the few and work against the many, but i'd still rather be a capitalists slave sitting in an office with healthcare and my basic needs met than a peasant ruled by some feudallord in the dark ages. we've come a long way but this still shouldn't be the end of the road. that's basically what I'm trying to advocate for here.

This is the magic of Buddhism. The actual feudal peasant has no anxiety or stress about his position because he's a level 9000 bodhisattva, that's all he needs. The industrial prolecuck has no such relief, he's been systematically deprived of any religiousity or spiritual feeling by urban life and the Prussian education system - the industrial prole will only transcend his station with death.

You are undisciplined and have not even begun to meditate yet because you're not showing how it's easy to activate the part of the brain that experiences things as if it was for the first time. Seeing things for the first time is also useful for creativity. It's worth having a child-like view of reality. But meditation hasn't solved everything for me.

The rational mind is like a benevolent parasite thats in control of you.

You experience dukkha (suffering) because you are trying to grasp, to put into words things that cant be.

In order to make your mind whole again you must reverse the relationship. You must se the parasite as your friend instead of as your overlord.
