@WASPislam I love musicals but alas I hate chores

@WASPislam nah I'm already a lifelong celibate I dont need to add Christianity to that. if there were a reputable ashram nearby it would be more fitting for me.

@unmind when you do yoga youll learn that the subtle proceeds the gross.

@nyx @ink @unmind yeah ive mentioned that Guatama Buddha himself advocated against severe forms of asceticism including prolonged starvation and mortification of the flesh after his enlightenment. the Japanese Buddhist living mummies were fundamentally a violation of both. I know more about hinduism though and while suicide is prohibited in orthodox hinduism there are forms of suicide that are recommended for non-brahmin varnas (with the contemporary understanding that they cant perform renunciation) in two or three sannyasa class upanishads. I can't remember the specifics (i dont believe they are divinely inspired so its kind of in one ear out the other, but iirc it was basically "do something incredibly reckless, willingly enter fire, drown yourself" or some such) but it was quite jarring to read in an otherwise innocuous upanishad about the trappings of and practices of a sannyasin. of course, I should mention that much more prominent in hindu thought is Krishna's condemnation against mortification of the flesh as a tamasic practice in the Bhagavad Gita. he calls it a crime against the atman within. now as far as suicide in dharmic religion goes one must with proper caveating mention mahasamadhi. that is, the highest form of samadhi where an enlightened yogi liberated while living enters samadhi and uses his/her complete control of prana to consciously leave their body for good, joining with Brahman. this is similar to suicide but it sort of the opposite--it is not done out of despair or infirmity but out of a desire to achieve perfect final unity with God.

@MURRUMUR @Mondobizarrro I never finished it because I associated it too much with a 17 year old boy who flirted with me when I was 13 despite him already having a 14 year old girlfriend that I had a huge crush on

@Mondobizarrro @MURRUMUR 15 years for me!
