Meditation is godtier. Buddhism is buttfuck retarded and anybody who believes for a second in any eastern philosophy should be fucking hanged.
I started meditating 4 days ago (don't laugh) and my mind is so different. I don't have to sit here and browse r9k. I now have the willpower to do whatever the fuck I want.
In fact, fuck this place. Never coming back.

>tfw all emotion become indifferent to you and meaningless and you cease to feel anything at some point.
I had a bad trip about a decade ago when I took shrooms. I think all these years later I am ready to try tripping again. I feel ready to face myself in a way and stop being a self-conscious ego driven shitmonkey.

To any anons out there, I'll warn you.
Take care to continue to nurture how you feel.
I am trapped in hell, but remain indifferent.

you can establish sati on 4chan. but, for the beginner, it is hard on porn thread.
well I don't really think that deep into it,
it's just
>is the effort of getting angry really worth it?
>getting my johnathans crumbled for something so petty?
Then I forget about it and move on back to realizing how much of a low life I am.

>I am trapped in hell, but remain indifferent.

One of the milestones on the path to enlightenment is acceptance.
Now, since this is only my interpretation of it and I can only hope to give a little help on what it means from my limited experience.
I believe it means both self acceptance, and acceptance of everything else. First obviously to build into the second is the self acceptance which is something i'm working on everyday, I am learning to not necessarily be happy with how I was in the past or who I was previously even just a moment ago, but to merely accept that those "me's" existed, in addition to every bad and good decision i've ever made.
I didn't quite realize how many hangups and how many experiences which hurt me really affected me everyday until I consciously started doing this and noticing them and questioning myself. It had just become habit.
Looking ahead, I somewhat wonder how many other people are the same way and if this concept is something I should be applying to other people.
Now maybe im wrong about all this im happy to listen to any suggestions, but also I believe OP should be thinking less on how things benefit him, im not sure exactly why but it seems wrong to have that be the end goal of his mastery or meditation or whatever he prefers to call it.
I've been able to do this since I was young before I even learned about meditation. It doesn't take any self-mastery just logic.
But I've noticed most humans can't control their emotions like that, even with mental training. I think they are not truly human and are like cockroaches, just a simple nervous system reacting instantly and instinctively.

I personally don't blame them, there's so much exposure to the capitalist society we live in and there's so much information constantly slammed into our faces that its very hard to take an objective view and take a step back and not just think but think deeply about your place and your actions and about what you are doing long term and where you are headed.
Most importantly though is that we live in a time where short term thinking and gratification is rewarded much more than long term planning and delayed gratification.
I believe anyone can choose to take a step back and put themselves on a better path, unfortunately it often takes some major change in their life for it to happen, and in addition to that there's way too many parts of our society which will prey on those people instead of offering them the chance for self improvement when they could use it the most.
What we have as a result are people that at their core are human but are trained to be animals and when they could realize what they are at their core, we push them back into the system and tell them they are crazy for ever believing they weren't just another animal on the farm.
