I now quote Wikipedia:
"In Hinduism, dharma signifies behaviours that are considered to be in accord with Ṛta, the order that makes life and universe possible,[10][note 1] and includes duties, rights, laws, conduct, virtues and "right way of living".[11] In Buddhism, dharma means "cosmic law and order",[10] and is also applied to the teachings of the Buddha.[10] In Buddhist philosophy, dhamma/dharma is also the term for "phenomena".[12][note 2] Dharma in Jainism refers to the teachings of tirthankara (Jina)[10] and the body of doctrine pertaining to the purification and moral transformation of human beings. For Sikhs, the word dharm means the path of righteousness and proper religious practice.[13]

The word dharma was already in use in the historical Vedic religion, and its meaning and conceptual scope has evolved over several millennia.[14] The antonym of dharma is adharma. "

Interesting

Religion does feel empty in comparison to other words like dharma, karma, etc. the concepts are always interesting

Does Jesse believe all this junk you're saying?

@J_G_

You know he's a Christian, right? Jesus said I am the Way the Truth and the Life.

Jesse is a man.

How's that attitude treating you?

psalms 118:22

You can't be Christian & a new age Hindu hippy at the same time.

Are you playing God?

Nope

phew! that was close.

Lol but seriously the Bible talks about gods of false religion actually being demons. Like the Hindu gods

there's no room in the universe for anything else but God

God plays all the parts, and is beyond our judgement

Exactly

Just because you’re a Christian doesn’t mean you can’t learn all other spiritual practices of the world & read up

That’s not the same thing as worshiping idols and such, only learning and finding patterns

I'm moving the discussion to <#467164315598979072>

This video has alot of profanity but the message seems good. Let me know what you think.

@everyone What have you done to better yourself today?

I ate an apple

I went swimming today so i dont have to feel guilty about the pizza i am going to eat

I try to better myself by trying to empower others.

Watch tons of CNN...nah Fox news

@Orlando LOL

On that note then I ate a plum

I think I did pretty well on my statistics test

how did i better myself today? i didnt @ at everyone xD

oH !

I changed My mind about a women, She has a kid

so I guess from yeah to no?

I don't blame you. If I were a man I wouldn't be taking care of another man's children 🚫

jesse said why would women want an already married man, because it's like he's a used product. Same with a woman that already has kids LOL

^

This 1000%

I noticed that alot by looking at my old highschool friends. I always joked about it but holy i see alot of you fellas agree, they are basically cucks, betas, whatever you want to call them. Im a bit paranoic about my thought processes but im getting a bit more secure now that i been reading and listening alot of other opinions

It’s healthy to consider someone else’s opinion without adopting it as your own

I think that’s the mark of a intelligent person

Something like that lol

Just to throw it out there, my husband married me when my son was one. I married my highschool sweet heart, we had a baby 5 years later and after the baby my then-husband cheated on me and abandoned us. He's not been in our lives since. My husband-now and I have 5 biological kids together, so 6 total, and the oldest he has raised since he was one. It isn't perfect but not all not all not all single moms are worth kicking to the curb. Just my two cents.

@Ayla I’m sorry to hear about the first 😬 but yeah I don’t mean what I say when it comes to extreme examples, like cheating or death. It’s just a general thing

These situations that go on a lot in the hood and cities where women have their children with one man, separate over the dumb shenanigans & then look for other men to take on them & their family

@PastPresentFuture its more of a insecure stuff about me. I get i forge my own opinions but when i was younger i had alot of conflict with my thoughts, i some sorta went atheist mode for like 6-7 years and now that i realized i was a dumb fuck its some sorta of PTSD of knowing i might be screwing myself up day after day in my decisions. Sounds like paranoia a bit

Yes, for sure, not dating a woman with a child is a good rule of thumb. It's almost always a bad situation, just make sure you're not overlooking a diamond in the rough before you chuck her though. Lol 🤣😂

I went to a local Church and introduced myself

Right

I totally get you with that. And the same with a married man who had a psycho wife, cheater, whatever, there’s always an exception to the general rule of thumbs lol

Good input @Ayla there is a time for all things.

@バカFubuki-san that's cool, how did it feel? Also do you watch JLP's church on Sundays?

@J_G_ It was great! I'm waiting to go to the first young adults meeting! I've been missin them as of late but I try to watch 'em later . Why do you ask?

@バカFubuki-san You may want to download these and listen while you work or drive or work out: https://archive.org/details/Jesse.Lee.Peterson.Church

A great question for men:
What advice would you give a Sister in Christ if she is about to go on a date with new man? What questions would you want her to ask him?

According to Jesse, if there's premarital sex then the woman will not respect the man and the marriage probably won't work. So probably the main number one question would be answered without having to ask. Most important thing I guess would be not to try to change somebody else because that's not likely to happen. So just ask yourself why you like that person. And be honest to yourself with the answer that comes from your heart.

Nice answer, @J_G_

Ms Sasha you already know the answer haha. Let the date happen. The conversation will happen if it does. Of course no physical stuff, because you are a lady. Good luck! I hope you get married and bring some children of the light

first date with my wife... I went in for kiss and she pushed my face out of the way... and laughed at me. Drove me nuts

Yes bring in some children bc remember: STRAIGHT IS GREAT!

Aww that’s sweet. What a good woman

@csquare Oh I do sir! Lolz, I just want to engage the men here in the Discord. :)

haha I figured Sasha, Thanks POOP. she recently started listening to BOND CHURCH. She started understanding the definition of Alpha and beta, she said I was a beta back then and now I have become alpha.

I kinda worry when I hear women looking for an alpha, because it is a narrow path. I would have never started walking that path, if it weren't becoming a leader. chicken before the egg kinda thing. hrrrhmmm

That’s awesome for sure

It’s kind of similar to ignorance is bliss I guess

The more a woman knows what she wants, it makes the choices harder

at the same time, I’d rather make a tougher screening process for a mate than let anyone in & cause destruction

I understand.

First installment of rent paid.

😋

I completely agree with @Szayel's Pooppion on this one. Many men would tell women that they are looking for a non-existant unicorn and that they should lower their standards. The many times I have done that, I have ended up in very failed relationships. The standard any man or woman should uphold is God's standard. @csquare

ya, all you are doing is making me feel really greatful for my situation. Maybe I wasnt as bad off as I thought I was

@Deleted User

Well you probably were not hard to make an alpha? Lol

Like the more a beta a man is, then the harder it’d be

Maybe you just had some ways but it wasn’t a tough transition

@Deleted User 🙁 my first two relationships were partly a result of me settling for less

Right. Any man who tells a woman that is not worth his weight in gold. I think that would be a good question: Should a woman have high standards?

Thats were I have a problem understanding, If we are just suppose to be like birds... and God will take care of us. Why care? Then my thoughts...I get into the idea Birds do work on a hierarchal system that involve dominance of peers and opposite sex: alpha male and beta. So I guess you guys are just following biological instinct. um the checks and balances that God put into place long ago. So you have my permission now to have high standards, carry on hah

@Szayel's Pooppion @Deleted User

😃

@csquare lolz! And that is something any woman would appreciate to hear!

Lol xD

I get you

I always come back to the spiritual order in thinking of it

I’m pretty sure women, when they’re spiritually awakened, seek alpha males subconsciously , it’s like nature. Because the man has to be able to Christ’s representation to us; the closest we can get in the physical world

And alpha males are striving to follow Christ in example, while Christ is above him

To be*

Man has to be a guide for women. How can it be done if the man is weak & his father is Satan?

Men and women generally have turmoil in relationships when it’s like that

The problem is that the grand majority of people who live in the world are weak.

@Deleted User Id say I think we should have high standards as long as we remain modest at the same time

hmm

explains nuns

I see what you mean tho

i an anticipate more real men in the future

Me too. I think all these loony shenanigans are going to bring about more awakened men

When the world gets basked in stupidity it usually brings about the other polarity lol

@csquare @Szayel's Pooppion you may be right. People across the world are awakening to conservative values.

I miss sasha RIP IN PEACE

F

@csquare huh? I'm still here! You mean Sunny?

😃 NAME CHANGE

@csquare Hahaha lolz! I changed it to my gamertag on XBox

O cool you on xbone?

How is SW battlefront, all the loot box ish scared me away

@TheSatireGames supposedly better on PC because it is more stable.

@csquare I think it's awesome although it does take some time to upgrade your dudes

@Orlando I'll add you tonight!

🆙 | **Lady Ramune leveled up!**

@everyone - What have you done to better yourself today, BOND family?

Morning/Afternoon all.

Today I set a few more goals. Being an artist I've been looking to diversify my talents and improve upon others.
So I've decided on dedicating time to purely studying new things and taking multiple classes to indeed improve in multiple fields.

Because it comes easily it's helping to build confidence and give me the drive to pursue other avenues as well. Including those that lie outside of art as a whole.

Good job sir

I bettered myself today by going to school, set up math tutoring for tomorrow & am studying today <:GWpinkuKannaPat:393081472162201613>

I pooped today

Lol

Seriously though I’ve bettered myself by absolving conflicts between personnel at work.

Being a light unto others

Love it

I have a “I pooped today” pin on one of my backpacks 💩

I am learning more about spiritual warfare to gain strength. That is the most important tool that I need.

not allowing Satan to enter my spiritual door . By resisting the temptations and seeing the lies She spews through her venomous tongue .. Satan has the control of alot of living things now and you can see her in places youd never thought shed be ..

Excellent progress everyone!

By not participating in the drama around me. And not being influenced by it.

Upping the frequency of my silent prayers and better eating habits. 👌

@everyone how has Jesse Lee Peterson's work made an impact on you?

reconsidered the male and female brain function...

@J_G_ The significance of forgiveness.

He gave me the ability to become a man and to leave the nest, and to forge a path for myself. Without him, I’m still be living at my parent’s house.

hello

is jesse here

he's late

Jesse has taught me to be able to deal with the children of the lie without anger. I found it hard to even talk to them before. I have learned to humble myself even though I know I am right. I knew that anger was the most destructive force in my life, but I did not realize how much it controls you. People have always followed me for some reason. I now lead with a good example, and do not let anger get in the way of God's plan for my life.

Does anyone here have experience with forgiving abuse mothers?

abusive*

yes: my mom use to whip with rando objects and a lil slapping and punching. single mom in the south tho

Dont know your extent of abuse, but mine was easy to let go bud

I'm going to forgive her tomorrow, but she is evil and lies and manipulates constantly. I would like to continue keeping her out of my life and receive God's love is this possible?

man o man of course

it is kinda the natural way jump out that nest and fly away

after you turn that rough patch into a growing experience, you can move on, overcome

Thank you for sharing your thoughts. It feels like the right thing to do is keep her out of my life.

your welcome

if it helps mine dont even talk to me any more haha

As long as you have Gods love!

Hey @Seven I've recently overcame my abusive mother. I forgave her for her ignorance, forgave her for what she knew was wrong, but did for her pleasure. The truth is, she either didn't know what she was doing, or didnt have control of her self.

Beware the emotional "sobpology" she will use to make you feel sorry for her. JLP teaches truth when he says emotion is not part of manliness. So when she goes into full submit mode, and tries to act helpless she wants your compassion. Dont give it to her, reserve that passion for God, hold your emotion, forgive her, and fly the nest. Fly high and fast.

I have a good couple of questions for Jesse/Any Men to answer:
1) A woman can't give love because the man is the one who is supposed to give it to the woman. How can a single woman move about the world successfully without love from a man?

Women:
2) How do you know when you have met your Alpha male? Did it start off having alot of things in common (like normal) or was it something deeper?

@Deleted User I don't have all of the answers but an alpha won't be emotional and he wont be driven by sexual lust or any other physical pleasures. If he has anger for anyone, he is a beta

@Seven Thank you for your answer. I would like to expand a little on your answer: So, are you saying that a man shouldn't say how he feels about the woman. It is assumed? This is why I am confused.

Sure he can say what he feels, but what he feels should not be lustful or emotional. He should be stoic. Jesse recommends that men and women date for 1 year without sex or any sensuality before getting married and then becoming intimate. This is the best possible scenario for each of you and your future children. So It would be assumed that you spend lots of time with each other and build a spiritual bond before becoming intimate. So naturally I would assume after those 50+ dates you would have a pretty clear understanding that he was into you especially if he respected you enough to reserve his lust.

Understood, thank you. @Seven

@Seven Do you want to give a stab at the original question? How can a single woman navigate this world without the love of a man?

@Deleted User Sure, it's a great question. She should be still and know God so that he can reveal to her her path, with his love - which is the strongest love - he should fill her heart with his love and provide to her his plan. JLP recommends silent prayer every morning and night.

Awesome answer, thank you!

@Seven

@Seven Its a really good idea to have actually forgiven her in your heart before you tell her. Instead of expecting the forgiveness conversation to work like some magic spell. Also, I bet you got some anger at your dad for just letting you sit there in that abuse. He had to know.

Sometimes we have anger hidden in our heart. I thought I was good with my dad, until I realized I wasn't. Turns out he was just as forgivable as my mom.

my mom cried and acted like she was doubling over with the pain of it. "I had no idea i was like that" she said. :/ ok. My dad said Thank you

Also, spot on calling her behavior "on the offensive " instead of mistaking it as defensive. She wants you to think its defensive so you will feel like you are attacking her. Straight manipulation.

@Deleted User You can love your man, and even tell him so. You just cant give him love, or provide love to him. No more than I can give love to Christ Jesus, even though I love him. A weak man will depend on that love, he will "need" it from you to fill him. A strong man won't have to depend on it, no more than Christ Jesus depends on my love.

To answer #2 You will know you have your alpha when you love him, but he doesnt lean on it. If he starts whining and seeking your comfort, and tellin you all about his bad day looking for you to make him feel better, you got yourself a BAYTUH MALE

Also, you really shouldnt have too much in common, or else he would be like you, a woman.

@DasBoles Thank you for those answers! In relation to your first answer, can you please clarify your first statement by providing examples?

I can, probably. But I have to board up some windows for this hurricane coming through.

ttyl

@DasBoles Stay safe out there, friend!

I agree with that alpha vs beta stuff. I thought about that alot

HOWEVER I think it's really good a man and woman have a lot in common, as in their political, social views and values so that the relationship can last. These seem to be the most important things to judge

Trivial things like their fav foods and such don't matter at all ofc.

Agreed.

@Deleted User Thanks, I will have to get back to those questions in a few days. We're about to be out of power for who knows how long. I'm heading inland. Say a prayer for us.

@DasBoles Many prayers to you and your family! Be safe!!

Someone told me that worrying is a sin. What are everyone's thoughts?

Hm thats possible. Maybe bc worrying is built upon the future and we're not supposed to be thinking about that

but as long as you don't stay in it so prolonged that you develop an anxiety over it, it should be okay

I believe when it envelopes into Anxiety then it would be a sin. I used to struggle with Anxiety until I learned to cope.

Me too. I had crippling anxiety

@Szayel's Pooppion @Officer_Caleb so how is anxiety a sin?

I don't know for sure that it is

Because instead of Leaning on God for understanding you are leaning on your own. If you worry too much to the point when it controls you then your aren’t placing faith in God but yourself.

but I think anxiety is probably a side effect of being in a fallen state, since like I said, we're not supposed to be worrying excessively of the future

Thats true sir

the last part esp stuck out

I can’t say that Worry is directly a sin as in we see it in the 10 Commandments but I do believe that God has given us instruction not to.

@Szayel's Pooppion @Officer_Caleb Thank you for sharing your thoughts. Here are mine:
Worrying is human. It can show love and concern for the person or thing you are thinking about. It can get out of hand if you add in 'coulda-shoulda-woulda' to the equation - this develops fear. Fear is the by product of Satan. Anxiety is excessive worry = fear.

Fear brings upon isolation from God. To @Officer_Caleb 's point, you end up leaning into your own understanding instead of letting go and letting God.

A little worrying doesn't hurt but events tend to happen when they are out of our control. Just silently pray, let the worries pass through, and let them go.

I love throwing out questions to make people think a bit and love learning from others. Thanks for participating, fam!

Thank you, as well! @Deleted User I appreciate the challenge of explaining my beliefs and glad we all can have actually productive conversation.

@Deleted User Thanks for sharing yours too. Very profound & agreed. Anxiety is certainly in the same spirit as fear which we know is from Papi satan's toolbox

Here is another question: is there such a thing an an alpha or beta female?

Excellent question. Not sure to be honest.

Yes

I think the same rule applies for women. Alpha females still come below alpha males still ofc

I guess you can take my mother as an Example of an 'Alpha Female', she is pretty quite most of the time but she is very opinionated and is like a steam roller when she has to be. There have been many instances when people don't like that just like Alpha Males.

Oh that sounds like me <:GWmythicalThonkCool:367331557100224522>

Hm

Now that got me thinking

I think that women who are "alpha" are typically just bossy. Lol i think women and men should inspire and lead the same way: by example and from the front of the ranks. Let everyone see you, your work ethic and and your "goodness" (for lack of better term) and dont be ashamed of it. If you lead a good life and are successful because of it (you usually will be in my experience :3) it wont matter if youre a dude or not. People emulate success (after they hate it typically...looking at you mainly females). When i go out i make it conscious decision that i will be what other people wanna be. Kind, firm and fair. I think that because we lack the expectation of strong male leaders anymore in the USA that either gender can have this. For better or worse that, im not sure yet.

Most don’t like me or my opinions as well lol

Hm idk about bossy

For alpha females. That might just be a bitch

I also think i heard on old jre with gavin mcinness that women who are "boss bitches" tend to have more testosterone and are more aggressive. Ill try and see if i can find info again

And no

Being a bitch and leading are 2 way different things

Leadership shouldnt be about telling others what to do. It should be leading by example and setting the stabdard to aspire to.

I don’t think an alpha females is necessarily bossy....

Exactly

Bossy is not leading by example it’s telling others what to do

And i find that "alpha" females dont do this

Which is a bitch

I havent found a "REAL" alpha female in the terms that i expect an alpha to behave.

MAYBE my last LT in the marines. MAYBE.

And MAYBE ann coulter.

I’ve met plenty of bossy women & I would not call them alphas. That’s more like a beta female or just a typical woman
