| Question: How do you clean a dirty mind? Posted: 20 Nov 2016 06:36 AM PST Similar to cleaning anything else. The first step would be to stop getting it dirty. Don't add any additional dirt to what is already there. Then, make a practice of avoiding the activities and thought processes that would get it dirty or build upon an already dirty mind. In some ways, this is a war of attrition, but that is only part of the process. Unlike dirty dishes, dirty thoughts won't get dirtier over time if you leave them on a shelf and forget them. Once you've put a stop to the flow of filth coming into the mind, you'll want to begin replacing the dirty thoughts with something else. Clean thoughts and wholesome activities are a good choice. Continuing the war of attrition, occupying your mind in meaningful service to others is really good. There is an extra benefit in not just the wholesome activity, but also forgetting yourself in service to others. Too much attention on your own self and your own mind can actually have a detrimental effect on the results that are trying to be achieved. You want to replace the activities that you are now avoiding with something more positive so as to not leave a void to which the filthiness can come back in. As you continue this process, over time the dirty thoughts that were once there will become weaker and weaker in potency until they are no longer the go-to line of thought, or even the fallback. Once you become adjusted to a clean state of mind, you'll begin to see more possibilities that were once clouded by the dirt and grime of the dirty mind. If you want to encourage this process in another, then focus on the positive replacements. Get them involved in meaningful serivce to keep their mind off dirty thoughts and discourage dirty remarks as they come up. Granted, you can't fully cure someone of this without their consent (this really needs to be a choice they make for themselves) but giving them the tools they need and the direction would help should they decide to clean it up a bit. Removing any external sources of dirtiness and filth is an absolute necessity, of course (as much as in your power, that is). Whichever way you do it, good luck, and I hope this helps. |
| Question: What question should we all ask but don't? Posted: 20 Nov 2016 05:24 AM PST It is a tough, difficult, confusing, challenging and complicated question. I am a novice. Please don't ask me questions in advanced philosophy. I can answer any simple questions which is meant for mediocre. It seems you are an interesting Guide and Mentor. If you can teach me such things, I shall be highly grateful to you. I will consider you my Mentor in future and I will become your disciple.. |

| Question: If the world had to be ridded of SEX or FOOD, what'd you choose? Posted: 20 Nov 2016 03:58 AM PST Depends on what they alternatives are. Food could be replaced by injecting nutrients into our body, perhaps, which wouldn't be so bad once you get used to it. Sex could be replaced with in vitro fertilization, or a similar process. Test tube babies, where the egg is fertilized and incubated outside of the human body should probably be avoided as I don't think they can fully replicate the benefits a developing infant receives from an actual human womb. Given the choices, replacing sexual intercourse with an artificial means of production would actually seem less unnatural than injecting ourselves with food substitute (or maybe could just drink all of our nutrients?). If all sexual activities were somehow avoided, then that would actually reduce a lot of crime (rape, assault, molestation, incest, possibly even various forms of harassment depending on how the policy was implemented) so that would have the stronger benefit as opposed to eliminating food which would reduce obesity and do away with eating disorders. The problem with eliminating sex altogether is that, when used properly, it is actually a tool to help bond a husband and wife (or two spouses, if you will) closer together. Without it, there would be less commitment, perhaps, but then again, I suppose there would be no point for an affair. So it would simply be a marital happiness scenario. I don't know how that would end up, but it's an interesting thought. On the other hand, if food were eliminated but we still had the appropriate nutrients our body needs to operate (and excel), then another dynamic could be opened up. Presuming a system that would deliver the optimum nutrients to each person depending on their specific needs, then the "obesity epidemic" could be completely averted. Obesity itself could possibly be nullified, as well as hunger, starvation, and malnutrition. All things considered, I'd rather go with this option. |
