So many unknown followers. Is this a bug?

Even after Buddha's answer, King Pasenadi was never fully convinced that his chief Queen Mallika loved him entirely. His soul is still searching for an answer. And in his 21st century reincarnation he has developed a new set of parameters to confirm his answer. ;^P
Always pray before you eat. Not to God (optional).
Every food plant-based, meat or fish has life, and by consuming it you are converting it's life into your life. Be thankful for the plant and animal who gave it's life to change into your life and also be thankful to all the people who are involved in bringing every ingredient onto your plate, from harvesting to packaging to cooking, each one.
It's a small daily habit that can have a big impact on your life...
🙏🏼❤️
Maybe in another universe...🌙✨
Who Is Mara to You?
"First, what is Mara's domain? Where does he operate? At one point the Buddha indicated that each of the five skandhas, or the five aggregates, as well as the mind, mental states and mental consciousness are all declared to be Mara. Mara symbolizes the entire existence of unenlightened humanity. In other words, Mara's realm is the whole of samsaric existence. Mara saturates every nook and cranny of life. Only in Nirvana is his influence unknown. Second, how does Mara operate? Herein lays the key to Mara's influence over all unenlightened beings. The Pali Canon gives initial answers, not as alternatives, but as varying terms. First, Mara behaves like one of the demons of [then] popular thought. He uses deceptions, disguises, and threats, he possesses people, and he uses all kinds of horrible phenomena to terrify or cause confusion. Mara's most effective weapon is sustaining a climate of fear, whether the fear be of drought or famine or cancer or terrorism. Identifying with a desire or fear tightens the knot that binds one to it, and, thereby, the sway it can have over one."
As in most Buddhist teachings, the point of Mara is not to "believe in" Mara but to understand what Mara represents in your own practice and experience of life. Jnana Sipe said,
"Mara's army is just as real to us today as it was to the Buddha. Mara stands for those patterns of behavior that long for the security of clinging to something real and permanent rather than facing the question posed by being a transient and contingent creature. 'It makes no difference what you grasp', said Buddha, 'when someone grasps, Mara stands beside him.' The tempestuous longings and fears that assail us, as well as the views and opinions that confine us, are sufficient evidence of this. Whether we talk of succumbing to irresistible urges and addictions or being paralyzed by neurotic obsessions, both are psychological ways of articulating our current cohabitation with the devil."

Hello there person. If you don't know the burning yet, that means you are too young to know. Chill & have fun.🍻
It comes with lot of burning and sacrifices but that's better than me burning the world.
I am manifesting nothing other than inner peace...🤍
I think it is easier to manifest when you put your mind on any non-living object, be it as small as paper money or as large as the sun.
Using manifestation technique on a human is most challenging, as each one has their own thought-network and hacking into it is not easy.
I cannot protect my phone from stalkers and data collectors, all I can do is protect my thought-network from intruders. ;^P
"I believe it's already up there before you are born, and then it drops right into your lap. It's the most spiritual thing in the world. When it comes, it comes with all the accompaniments, the strings, the bass, the drums, the lyrics, and you're just the medium through which it comes, the channel. Sometimes feel guilty putting my name on songs - 'written by Michael Jackson' - because it's as if the heavens have done it already. Like Michelangelo would have this huge piece of marble from the quarries of Italy, and he'd say, 'Inside is a sleeping form.' He takes a hammer and chisel, and he's just freeing it. It's already in there. It's already there." - Michael Jackson
Lying down under the stars with you, I wish I could tell you everything... 🌙✨
Sexual objectification of women is not recent, it can be dated back to primitive times, the Himba tribe, the African tribe that offers wives to guests, since long women are viewed as objects of beauty, pleasure, and play for men and this has been continued until recent times where women's bodies are being used as source of entertainment to sell products, films and music.
Men and women both tend to promote and support objectification of women.
Try to build a safer world for women in our lives, for our mothers, sisters, partners, daughters and for every woman around you.
Sharing a TED talk below:
The study suggests:
Some bacteria have a similar, built-in, gene editing system to the CRISPR-Cas9 system that they use to respond to invading pathogens like viruses, much like an immune system.
Using CRISPR the bacteria snip out parts of the virus DNA and keep a bit of it behind to help them recognise and defend against the virus next time it attacks.
To simplify with:
It has been scientifically proven that bacteria can help protect against viruses. The quality of our health almost entirely depends on the quality of microorganisms within the body. Use of antibiotics can disrupt these microbes.
It has been observed, those who are able to digest bacteria or overcome a bacterial infection without the use of antibiotics are less likely to be infected by viruses.
Scientists seem to be more interested in gene editing and finding new cures instead of supporting the naturally gifted immune system.
