You proved my analysis of your conditioning and motivational bases to be correct, you're displaying classic cognitive dissonance and denial.
We white folks grew up on a diet of white and western superiority, many of the movies we watched on TV were from pre war times and most people became deeply conditioned on a subconscious level by it and by the attitudes of just a few decades ago. It's more about not carrying the past and your conditioning like a fucking cross upon your back, they suffer and you suffer, as has been demonstrated here by your wall of textual rationalisations. It's also a sign of a fossilized mind unable or unwilling to adapt, unwilling to have the courage and do the work of moving forward into a happier future for all. At its base is fear and conditioned aversion and that drives the whole mental machine forward, they are the "other" and you don't want to form a community with them, you don't care about them or want the best for them, as you should. You pine for a simpler past and want to MSGA Make Scotland Great Again...
Haha you couldn't be further from the truth mate.
I am an atheist but I'm also a hollistic.
Im sure ive mentioned this at least once already.
I practice reiki amongst other things. Somewhere between bhudism and the chi practices of shaolin monks.
No awesome kung foo though, I focus on the energy side of things.
The meditation/enlightenment stuff that nobody ever agrees with but I've never had a hard time for mentioning.
It's quite hard to disprove an atheist who accepts the existance of "god".
Especially a very anti religious one.
Being a holistic is different though.
We all have our own versions of how we do what we do.
I'm not particularly skilled in the arts.
"The truth" is even harder to swallow for me than the idea of god. I got close enough and had to back off. There's a reason people accept the idea of god.
I fully, 100% believe and accept that " god " exists.
But I've been party to things that have shown me that god is not what religious people believe it is.
Religion blinds them from seeing the real truth .
What we are ALL capable of.
Physically and mentally.
I don't force my beliefs on others because they are my beliefs. I know I'm closer to the truth than any religious person on earth.
I also know that if could actually make them accept they were wrong then their lives would probably collapse.
I think they're fuckin idiots but I don't give them a hard time directly. I'd never bully someone because of their religious views. The real bhudists are most likely closer than us hollistics are and theyre a lot more dedicated.the shaolin monks are arguably just as far ahead.
It's very similar practices we all use.
Chi. Energy manipulation. God.
It's all the same thing.
Religious people can only imagine "god"
The rest of us can actually use "god" to do an abundance of really weird shit.
That's all for tonight though. Ninite y'all
