       I see anyone who believes in sin and expiation quite much as Farnese of Berserk. They'd be great if they leave that crippling belief, they'll find many advance and start to see the world as it is.

       And this isn't against any religion or faith, this is specifically against the wicked idea of sin.

       @Loki something really fucked up and these guys are mad. But as you can see they are stupidly rich and probably will never face consequences from their wicked acts.

       @sathariel @Loki what did you think I meant by sin lol. I dont believe in original sin, but everyone enters life with good and bad karma or else they wouldnt be reborn. to sin is to go against dharma and thus disturb rita. God has a perfect system of justice and one must live in harmony with the universe. of course sin can't touch a yogi but for others we are liable.

       @georgia I don't know most of the weird words you use and I think it's better to avoid using them and explaining in a more simple language. I don't think one expiates sins through suffering, that's ridiculous and counterproductive. Suffering is inherent to existence as joy. Purification is very real though, as karma, that I see as things stored from your existence and other existences that avoids you to act in concordance with God's will, and while there isn't place for conflict I won't call it justice, that's just a very human desire.

       @georgia I think there was a name for doing or action yoga, I don't remember the name. But that's the more effective imo.

       @sathariel karma yoga is what youre thinking of, the path of action. deliberately self-inflicted suffering doesnt expiate anything, but suffering inflicted by the world burns up bad karma. thats how hell works! if people who are used to getting bad shit from the universe didnt get some reward for their suffering it wouldnt be a fair system.

       @georgia @sathariel often suffering breeds suffering if we look at the real world, various "cycles of violence". Any way arent you into the whole intercessor idea, you can never truly pay for your wrongs unless you can admit you need the help of the intercessor.

       @technolyze @sathariel I'm not a christian but I think jesus was one of many avataras sent and to be sent down to Earth to promote righteousness. He died for three reasons imo.1. so he could be resurrected, showing the triumph of God over natural forces like the burning bush, and showing believers that they too could conquer death (through bhakti yoga)2. to amplify his message of universal love by dying for his friends3. because it was Gods will to start a religion that promotes the bhava of God as savior / suffering servant, creating christianity which would lead many people to dharmic conduct and eventually to liberation

       @meowski @georgia yeah I haven't tried it, so I have no opinion on it. But I think anything that shows you a sincere reflection of yourself may be useful for purification. Fasting also could show you two main things to purify: desire and fear (even when you know you won't starve I'm guessing fear is there)

       @meowski @sathariel lots of cultures and religions have found fasting and other forms of asceticism to be purifying but only sense control can permanently eliminate desire for the sense objects

       @georgia @sathariel reducing and controlling desire for food is beneficial because much disease comes from poor food choices, and people spend a lot of time and energy stuffing their faces unnecessarily which takes away from more important things. it restores balance between energy input and output

       @georgia @meowski @sathariel And it's good to say that meditation doesn't require negating the senses, but our relationship to them becomes nullified when the mind is deeply, deeply concentrated

       @sampler @meowski @sathariel yes one can control the senses by concentrating the mind deeply, but an accomplished yogi also learns to control the senses by controlling prana

       @sampler @meowski @georgia the state that I see as the best of meditation, at least for me, has on the contrary a very high awareness of senses.

       @sathariel @meowski @sampler @unmind zen buddhism has a different approach to theravada or hindu yoga because they aim to reincarnate and while zen buddhism involves loss of ego they regain their ego for the benefit of all beings. is my understanding at least. zen sees no difference between samsara and nibbana and thus prefers samsara because while embodied you can help others discover their buddhahood.

       @sathariel @meowski @georgia You can be aware of your body and surroundings without being attached. There's a trend from sri lanka to say that all jhana / samadhi necessarily depends upon complete disconnect from the senses, like you go into a coma and no longer can perceive sound or touch, that's nonsense

       @sathariel @meowski @sampler @unmind this seems wise but full enlightenment has telltale signs, not just extraordinary siddhis which are often obstacles to yoga but freedom from anger, fear, and attachment, indescribable bliss, and in many traditions omniscience or a degree of it.
