fuk errbody bump this shit
Eckhart Tolle never hit me quite right, but it's really cool to hear you're getting into that sorta stuff. Part of the enjoyment for me has always been some of the shit that new age folks believe in (Lemuria and evil Martian hebrews riding merkabahs [read: stars of david] around).

As silly as it may get, though, the sincerity and perceived immediacy/importance of others' well-being is super refreshing and it offers a cure to the toxicity that is 99.99% of modern society, r9k included.

Why are fictional religions better than real life religions?

Eckhart Tolle's a joke
if we all followed his philosophy we'd see the end of the world

I think the biggest change since the last major molding of traditional religions, is population changes and the reliability of health. There's a whole shitton of us now and we have the tech such that disease destroying our societal backbone isn't so much a threat.

Living super by the numbers for the sake of your family and societal units isn't as necessary now as it once was, as the largest cultural bodies are eager for you to fall behind in your child-rearing so your children will simply enter the gravitational pull of obedient mainstream culture. In some part, it's certainly an attractor to push back against this; but on another hand, the technological and organizational progress that has allowed this isn't worth abandoning and won't feasibly be abandoned without some cataclysm.

So independence of the individual is honestly now feasible in a way that it simply wasn't in the past, opening people to new forms of social organization, such as this spiritual inspection of our relationships simply as autonomous individuals?

Ehhh this is just me thinking out loud. Anyone else have thoughts?

I'm an atheist but I follow the principles of Hinduism/Buddhism rather closely

Maybe the end of society as we know it, which would be a good thing. The world would do just fine without humans.

Why are you talking like that?
What are you trying to do to me?
I've already caught the gay once before, I'm trying to cure it, don't fuck it up.

I like Buddhism a lot but some of it gets a little too hippy dippy for me. I can't meditate no matter how hard I try.

Even if I only post to spout nonsense and trash like I did here, the thing that keeps me around r9k is that this is basically a homosex pressure chamber and watching everyone turn gay is really funny. Guard yourself well you fine lil thang

>I can't meditate no matter how hard I try.

You only need to follow your breath. Don't force it out, just let it flow naturally like a river. If you get distracted just bring your attention back to your breathing.

I dont wanna sound like some kinda faggot, but it comes in nature with the topic

I kinda go my own path, but on the pillars of other religions as a foundation

I'm minimalist as a buddisht to clear mental space,

im passive like christitanity teaches

and i live for myself and the pursuit of betterment like from satansim

if someone asks me my religion i say im agnostic,

i just try to be a good person, and the vibes seem to rub off on those around me

that's really admirable, anon! Being able to select the good parts of ideologies like that is something we really need.
We've got a problem in following a single blanket ideology for the sake of semantic coherence, but that sorta thinking overlooks that humans can be made up of tons of contradictory parts. I think it's why I've hit the redpill of liking monarchy again, so we can have a means by which to choose our path on a case-by-case basis, rather than falling back on doctrine and constant partisan impasses.
