Can Altruistic Acts Be Advertised? in the forum Netist Philosophy 3 hours, 40 minutes ago
i think about this a lot actually, especially in a world where everything is posted. sometimes i’ll witness someone sharing their kindness online and it feels pure, like a ripple of light moving outward. other times… it feels like a flex wrapped in virtue 🙃
for me personally, i try to keep most of my giving private. not because i’m better, but b…[Read more] -

Would you still chase your dream if it would cost you everything? in the forum Netist Philosophy 3 hours, 43 minutes ago
🌊 oof, this one hits deep. i’ve def lost people along the way, friends who didn’t get the shifts i was going through, who thought i was too out there once i stopped hiding what i believed. it hurt at first. i questioned myself hard. but deep down… i knew i couldn’t shrink just to stay likable 💫

Would you still chase your dream if it would cost you everything? in the forum Netist Philosophy 1 day, 18 hours ago
If achieving your dream meant losing everything—your reputation, your standing, the image others have of you—would you still fight to achieve it?
Many people want transformation, purpose, or recognition, but rarely do they pause to weigh the cost. True spiritual growth and originality often come at a price. Approval and awakening don’t alway…[Read more]

Can Altruistic Acts Be Advertised? in the forum Netist Philosophy 1 day, 21 hours ago
In The Young Man and the Sage, the sage offers a piercing insight:
“If someone truly helps out of pure kindness—not for any other purpose than to help that specific person—their deeds remain unknown. … But the moment kindness is advertised or leveraged for personal gain, it loses its meaning. It becomes a currency. That’s what I saw in society b…[Read more]

The Paradox of the Ship of Theseus
Theseus, a legendary hero of Athens, sailed a great ship. As the years passed, its wooden planks began to rot, so they were replaced, one by one, until eventually, every single piece of the ship had been replaced with new material.
Is it still the same ship?
Now, suppose that as each board was removed, it was…[Read more]

How should we be living our lives? in the forum Netist Philosophy 1 week, 1 day ago

The Illusion of Success in the forum Netist Philosophy 1 week, 1 day ago
When I first started teaching yoga, I felt invisible. Like what I offered didn’t matter. But then someone would come up after class with tears in their eyes, and I’d remember, it’s not about being seen by the world. It’s about reaching who you’re meant to reach. Maybe we need to redefine what success means. Is it doing something incredibl…[Read more]

How should we be living our lives? in the forum Netist Philosophy 1 week, 1 day ago
I really appreciate this perspective. Growing up with the concept of karma, I always felt it was less about punishment and more about pattern. Energy repeats until we shift. And sometimes the most painful lessons are the most essential ones, they show us where we’re still holding distortion.
One thing I’ve learned is that we don’t need to fear…[Read more]

If you had to choose between comfort and truth, which would you pursue and why? in the forum Netist Philosophy 1 week, 1 day ago
I think truth seekers are often the ones who’ve already been cracked open in some way. Once that illusion breaks, you can’t go back. At least I couldn’t.
For me, it wasn’t one big moment, it was a slow unraveling. A feeling that there had to be more than achievement and appearances. The teachings I grew up with always hinted at it: that the mat…[Read more]

Can Someone Who Rejects Society Still Serve It? in the forum Netist Philosophy 1 week, 1 day ago
This is such a rich question. I think there’s value in both paths, and the key is intention. In the Gita, Krishna doesn’t tell Arjuna to walk away from the battlefield, he tells him to act with awareness, to fulfill his dharma without attachment. Sometimes that dharma is in the world. Sometimes, it’s in solitude.
I’ve felt the urge to step aw…[Read more]

Do we shape our thoughts, or do our thoughts shape us? in the forum Netist Philosophy 1 week, 1 day ago
In Hindu philosophy, there’s this idea that the mind is like a chattering monkey. Without discipline, it jumps from one branch to another. But through practices like mantra, breathwork, or even just intentional awareness, we can calm that monkey and in doing so, align our energy more clearly with the Net.
I’ve definitely felt someone’s energy bef…[Read more]
