@toast @MK2boogaloo For the record, the views of Shaivism and Buddhism are totally incommensurate: the Shaivites are monists and while Buddhists say mindstreams are individual. The distinctions are a bit difficult to parse for people who haven't studied this, but I assure you it's important
-
@MK2boogaloo @toast It's not really accurate to say Kashmiri Shaivism "evolved" from Buddhism per se, there was a lot of interaction with yogis from that sect and practitioners of Buddhist tantra, there was a great deal of mutual influence and appropriation. Sakya Pandita outright said in terms of practice, the only real difference between Vajrayana and that breed of Shaivism was their philosophical understanding
-
@toast Huh, I wasn't even aware Kashmiri Shaivite tantras were still actively practiced desu, kind of thought that tradition died out/was absorbed into other schools
-
@toast >I was experimenting with tantric meditation
I don't know if you had a legit teacher, but I can't stress enough how that's an outright dangerous thing to do without instruction from a living human, books and videos online can't correct misconceptions or give teachings based on what's appropriate for you in particular

The second part isn't entirely a joke btw, people have had some very bad mental breakdowns when doing extended meditation, though the worst seems to come via Theravadan methods. Of course, many of these people were already mentally fragile, and I'm sure the girl in this article going off her meds didn't help matters at all, but the dangers of engaging in these practices without preparation are real

@deprecated_ii Computer science 101: nobody uses any hardware older than 2018, if it works on a good quality laptop from 2010 you're not doing computers right

I am going to post Botan's feet whenever I feel like it until you develop some kind of emotional response to her
I will not be posting any meditation instructions, as I have realized that without proper view and intimate instructions from a qualified teacher of an authentic lineage, at best it's a subpar stress relief method and at worst actively harmful to those unequipped to even begin understanding the experiences in a productive way
-
@rlier23 I could post fresher Botan feet, but unfortunately they all pale in comparison to the classic. Casino will never again reach the artistic heights of Botan feet

@WashedOutGundamPilot It's genuinely surprising to check around and realize there were some people you figured wouldn't miss you after going dark still thinking about you desu

@BigDuck A good amount of young people aren't even fit for service to begin with, but that just leads to even more awkward questions that can't be answered without admitting how fucked the nation is lmao

@SuperSnekFriend I was reading up on ontology and read something about people "owning" TERFs by asking them to give a satisfying, irrefutable definition of a chair, I wanted to see an example of that
