No joke, I took the picture myself.
There is a clear disruption in religious and sacred figures.
Look how Messi is now on the same level as Buddah!
Argentina's adoration for Messi is one of those long jokes that stick around until you forget it was really a joke in the first place.
And people would end a relationship if someone threatened their unconditional love for the footballer.
Also look at how Jesús or María are out of the Argentine league. They only belong to religious families, which are almost rare to find.
When I have walks in my neighborhood, it is common to see those Buddhas in the front yard.
But it just means that in that house someone practices yoga, maybe 15 minutes of closed-eye meditation per week, that they are vegetarian or "spiritual".
Brazil has that wonderful statue of Jesus in Rio. Instead we have the biggest graphics of soccer players?!
And I bet most houses have at least one picture of Messi.
My coworkers are also not religious. Instead, they believe in energy.
But it is not at all clear what to do with it. If you can hoard it, or make any use of it. It is simply "energy and vibrations".
Perhaps one conclusion could be, is this a good time for something real to take over?

Don’t mess with Messi, ese! He’s clearly a football god.
Just below Pelé 😂
Buddha is the new Jesus. Christianity is not fancy anymore, only old people believe in Christianity.
Unfortunately humans have the need for a " higher force " presence to believe in so I don't believe this to ever change. Yesterday was Jesus today is Buddha. It's who is more relevant and comforting in the current times.
I have to admit I find funny the obsession over messi but I understand the pride all the Argentinian football men have.
Also here men are obsessed with football. I can hear from my balcony the orc screams of thousands men when there is a football game in a stadium thats is 2 km afar. And of course the screaming and cursing of all the neighbours that watch the game.
The fight clubs on the stands between fans are the best!
And of course the throwing/breaking of objects and the primal screaming when the team loses.
That's serious over here.
In fact, in the Argentine League the visiting public has been prohibited for several years.
If they changed Jesus for Buddha, it must mean it's a "lower effort" presence to believe in.
Maybe Buddha won't make people wake up early on Sundays?
So they can still feel good with themselves doing almost nothing, with another "ancient wisdom"?
It would't be that bad if everyone took it as Daniel Ingram. Even when he is confused, he actually works to get something real.
> I understand the pride all the Argentinian football men have.
Don't think women are saved from this one!
Of course it is! Look at the tIme we live where AI is here to do the difficult jobs with low effort. I mean we live on the time of hacks and efficiency. Everyone wants it easier.
So only the grandmas will wake up on Sunday morning for the church. The rest of them occasionally will sit with closed eyes for 5 minutes and call it a day.
Of course they are not. I knew females that liked watching football like men or maybe to be more cool for their men. I don't understand it at. If I had to watch some kind of male sport I would prefer to go to the gym on the section with the weights to enjoy the view.
How daring Athina Jay!
I would rather choose female volleyball.
Cute!
I was sure you would say female beach volleyball but it's close anyway.
Now the olympic games are very popular!
In the Youtube Shorts sometimes I get demonstrations of athletes.
Entitled "Excellent performance of ... athlete."
Although it is obvious that it was only uploaded because a buttock was visible in the video.
It reminds me of Eckhart Tolle allowing people to look butts on the street.
Under the pretext of "enjoying it but without having desires about it".
To show how he is an exceptional modern gurú.
Very nice point.
Only you can combine booties🍑 with Tolle efficiently to make a valid point about pretend behaviour.
I should think that global climate change is the new religion. And boy are all the youngsters converted.
..."only old people believe in christianity." - I take it you are not american.
American trends are fast spreading but still not fast enough for us to have the climate change religion.
I'm Greek and here people use Christianity mostly as s tradition for family gatherings on Christmas and Easter. Still old ladies go to sunday church or on trips to the monasteries.
I'm happy you guys are not having government and HOllywood, media shoved down your throats like us. Starts at 5 in kindergarden pretty much. The kids have no chance but to be pulled into that river of shit. It really is a religion at this point. Followed by woke crap.
Going to ancient monasteries sounds like a blast. No such thing as ancient anything out here. Building wise. Unless you count medicine wheels.
Church is like a big social gathering for most americans. Who cares what the person says, you get to hang with your friends.
The woke movement is a true problem. Especially with the whole gender thing giving to young children puberty blockers that are experimental drugs.
Greece it litateraly builded on top of ancient ruins, unfortunately. But it is very rich into historical places. There's even a monastery that only men can go it's very old and famous called Agion Oros.
It's amazing that you go and listen to pastors. Here the priest chants with the chanting men( dont know how they are called) because we are Orthodox so in church we have to be quiet and hear the prayers. The chanting is in a ancient green language. It's actually Byzantine music.
Yes the Hellenistic statues of buddha are very nice and very different. This buddha has a six pack and it's bery handsome and like a Greek god. Not fat and sleeping.
One good thing Alexander did was spreading the culture by making greek men marrying local women and staying on the 'new land". So you can find ancient greek temples everywhere he went.
Maybe? 🤣

It's unbeliavable.
Considering it's known he was pedophile, cocaine addict, disrespectful, violent, selfish... and people love him!
Why not?

https://edition.cnn.com/2023/04/10/india/dalai-lama-apology-kissing-boy-video-intl-hnk/index.html
And on the other hand, in the church you have the inquisition, the crusades, the colonization of America...so we close the violent and disrespectful chapter too.
continuing the joke...Wouldn't the inclusion of drugs attract "followers" of shamanic religions?...
"it ticks all the boxes for a religion"
Now that I think about it, you are very right!
We have seen how the most popular gurús are the most dishonest ones!
El argentino quiere el heroe salvador , si todo lo demas esta mal , pero esta messi , ahora tenemos futbol femenino jugando un mundial y nadie se enteró, jajj
Pan y circo!
Bueno, va quedando poco pan, pero si está Messi en el circo está todo bien!
Con el lavado de cerebro de las elecciones no queda tiempo para el fútbol femenino...
Cambiando de tema, te llegó el viento fuertísimo del oeste que hubo hace unas semanas?
Messi’s original club, Newell’s Old Boys, dissed him, claimed he’d amount to nothing, given his health condition.
Here’s a young Messi… wearing the 10 jersey.
Yeah, it's a known story over here. That's why he loves Barcelona, the club that payed for his treatment.
FTFY.
Although payed exists (the reason why autocorrection didn't help you), it is only correct in:
Nautical context, when it means to paint a surface, or to cover with something like tar or resin in order to make it waterproof or corrosion-resistant. The deck is yet to be payed.
Payed out when letting strings, cables or ropes out, by slacking them. The rope is payed out! You can pull now.
Unfortunately, I was unable to find nautical or rope-related words in your comment.
Beep, boop, I'm a bot
Sii tremendo, pasamos de frío extremo a 32 grados , fuerte el viento norte,¡ alto mareo ,si no te mueve el punto de reunion no se,¡ jaj , volviendo al futbol mas alla de todo el circo mediatico, el deporte es muy bueno, empeze a jugar hace poco y creo q el cuarto oscuro mejoro mucho mis reflejos
Fijate que el traductor de Google lo agarra mal, es el "punto de encaje" como lo presentó Carlos.
Impresionante. Acá (Bs As) hizo 30°C al mediodía y 10°C a la noche, muy chocante!
Y si, comparto el gusto por el fútbol también.
Estuve jugando todas las semanas hace meses, y definitivamente se consigue un gaste de energía muy profundo, al que no llego solo con Pases Mágicos y caminatas.
Está bueno porque descubrís nuevos límites de exigencia, y te aclara la mente.
Hace 2 semanas que no juego por un dolor en la pierna, pero espero seguir.
De qué jugas?
Siempre en defensa, el arco también me gusta, es fuerte pa el cuerpo, correr y patear jaj parece mucho,; algo muy lindo es el juego en equipo, no es una sola persona ,deje de pensar en brillar yo.somos.un equipo, somos todas , si aclara la mente ,
Es muy interesante el tema del trabajo en equipo.
Quizás el fútbol tiene una lección de hechicería, y es que el beneficio personal no es lo que produce los mejores resultados?
No se por que pero encuentro similitudes entre el futbol y el cuarto obscuro, sera la resistencia
Hey, is there an Argentine lineage? 😄
😆 cuna de volantes
Muuuuchaaaaaaaaaaachooooooooooooooooosssss
Aunque nosotros separamos la práctica de la rutina diaria por razones de aprendizaje, en los libros era todo presentado como un conjunto.
El peligro de tomarlo como un todo e intentar hacer magia en la vida diaria es MUY visible en este subreddit.
La gente confunde técnicas avanzadas como "acechar", con cosas completamente ordinarias. Encima lo presumen, y generan conocimientos que no están basados en hechicería real.
Pero es verdad que cuando aprendemos a mover el punto de encaje, descubrimos que hay "grupos de emanaciones" que son alineados.
Entre ellas, las que componen nuestro mundo conocido.
Y que con una perspectiva hechicera, hay diferentes maneras de tratar con el mundo, que nos permiten no estancarnos en el.
Percibiéndolo como lo que es. Un grupo de emanaciones, entre otros 600 (según don Juan) que podemos alinear como seres humanos.
De esa manera se vuelven ridiculos comportamientos como sentirse ofendido, sentirse importante, enojarse.
Pero esa conciencia de nuestros comportamientos SIEMPRE parte de haber movido el punto de encaje. No es al revés.
Muy claro , si , por eso esta bueno , para mi empezar a practicar el cuarto oscuro , si no los berrinches son interminables, igual todavía me frustro en la cancha y en el cuarto pero ahora me doy cuenta , jajj aveces , ;ayer jugué y me dio un calambre , fuerte, tuve q mirar un rato, asi q todo es aprendizaje, de cualquier forma ;
The person you're trying to help in chat was over in the Buddhist subreddit, asking the idiots there about their pretending.
I wanted to butt in, but that won't go well with the brainwashed Buddha boy minions.
Oddly, it doesn't go badly at all in the r/enlightenment subreddit!
Those guys KNOW it's all a scam.
Which makes them happy, because they can just claim they're enlightened already.
Very odd. Juann found that place.
But you can reason with them using real magic as proof there is in fact something real out there.
Not so in the Buddha swamp. They won't listen to anything if it threatens their hopes to sit on a little throne some day.
I thought to try out my recent discovery that the Chinese simply made up the Buddha.
Easy to prove with an AI.
I really doubt they've heard that argument before.
Even ChatGPT couldn't argue against it, although he warned me it was offensive.
But he did haul out the old "Ashoka" story.
Which is the name of a new star wars character.
Unfortunately, that story is 300 years after the Buddha lived.
And nothing was written down by the Buddha.
Who was a pacifist rebel against the caste system.
Using lame closed eye meditation techniques.
Which are specifically designed to self-flatter and confuse people.
Just like Astral Travel.
Yes, I realized the guy is a total asshole after a few messages.
0% interest in learning. He just wanted to win a game of words.
And he wouldn't bother to look at the Wiki, he only wanted an answer that pleased him so he could forget the whole thing.
Maybe that was his greatest skill... having a beatiful smile while sitted.
I wonder if he specifically trained smiling. That would make sense!
I recently accompanied someone to see the lastest "Insideus" movie (wich I don't reccomend), and was amazed to see they picked the Astral Proyection topic up as the main resource.
It's an horror movies sequel in wich the characters wake up in the "astral plane", where demons scare them.
Their idea was something like "Let's take a topic most people is aware of, and then exaggerate it with mental fantasies about it, pretending it's real and possible".
Not different from what Monroe or Bullham did!
As a result, we get a bunch of people who loves to exagerate ordinary dreams.
Thinking wet dreams are "evil sexual demons".
Or dreaming with a jaguar is a "Nahual" trying to contact them.
It's probably a bad idea to say so, but eventually we could figure out a sleeping dreaming path for the men.
Hopefully it's just successful enough to get them to stop being lazy, and do darkroom.
I saw it "hinted at" in recent inspirational quotes which passed through here.
The idea would be to emphasize direct entry into dreaming, through silence forced while laying in bed.
And then to explain to them how to locate scouts, and discover phantoms with their gaze.
Give SPECIFIC things they had to do, successfully, or it didn't count as part of a path to sorcery knowledge.
And make sure to explain how bad it is to misrepresent dreams as magic.
Maybe by showing how that allows the Allies to continue to confuse and control you, even if you do manage to go in directly from waking.
They LOVE to get you tied up in a "story" inside a dream, especially if it gets you excited to go back and play with them again the next night.
They've pretty much kidnapped me since I stopped viewing them while awake.
That would be interesting.
We need to be very careful about such thing.
Considering how men can't help but pretend, even when they are suppoused to find something impossible to skip such as purple puffs of energy.
Yea...
That's pretty horrible.
I'm trying to fix that in this luminous sphere animation.
Teach about dreaming at the end.
But it's gotten longer than the software can handle, and today I have to break it up into "scenes".
Or the software continuously crashes.
It's only 11.5 minutes long now, but that's likely 7 minutes too much.
I watched that last night. Fell asleep is was so non scary.
