When did HE turn into..

See I don’t give a shit about space or god, I’ve heard it all before and get sick of “Oh my god are there aliens?!” posts and “We are god”…

Relationships are a bit more complicated… sometimes.

You can ignore posts you don’t like, its as simple as that.

@vernalsoul,
‘And for the a large number of these, you can go ahead and assume that if you don’t know what to do, then you probably shouldn’t be in a relationship til you figure your shit out for yourself.’
Is this the same shit or is this about God?

@shivvy, I agree..

@shivvy, This makes sense. This one. Right over here.

@vernalsoul, Because HE stands for High Existence, a key factor in every human beings existence is relationships, be they romantic, familiar, friendly, social, humanitarian, sexual, civil, the list goes on. To hash out all the various and broad issues of our lives to find that balance, that frame or state of mind, confidence, wisdom, insight.
I think relationship advice has a lot more down to Earth relevance to all our lives than abstract theories, the intangible, metaphysical, religious, supernatural and unrealized possibilities. Really, if anything makes for a higher existence it is introspection on how we define and accept ourselves and how we behave toward each other.
I love all the fun detour threads that explore opinion but isn’t it ultimately about what counts in our every day lives?

I am SICK and tired of people making posts talking about how some aspect of HighExistence does not belong here and how people need to tailor their posts to fit the subjective, trivial needs of another user.

For the love of god, PLEASE stop whining about how you’re tired of scrolling through the categories and, upon clicking on a discussion post WILLINGLY, crying about how “terrible” or “inappropriate” it is.

I have said it once and will say it a thousand times more: everyone who visits this site with good intentions deserves to be here, no matter what the topic may be. We are all different people taking different routes to different destinations…screw you if you can only fathom your own path.

I eagerly await any user who wishes to speak with me concerning ANY topic I have knowledge about…they were willing to bridge the gap and ask for guidance, so how DARE I refuse them on the grounds that I don’t think their concerns are worthy of my time.

It infuriates me.

This is a free space for anyone to talk about what they want, yada yada.

I for one am glad the OP voiced their opinion, it’s kinda true. HE was once mainly concerned about the metaphysical forces that have brought us to this point in existence, and attempting to explore higher than that. Romantic trouble is so exhausting of potential energy, and the amount of threads people make about it is suffocating. I wish there was more focus; this site has become a distraction, a facebook cuddle club.

If there’s anything I’ve learned from HE’s development, it’s that growing a community ten times larger does not make it stronger, but dilutes it.

@ijesuschrist, It is not about the fact whether it was better in the old days or not, it is about the fact if HE is losing its authenticity. I mean, if we all start talking about basal stuff like what kind of underwear you are wearing today, the purpose of the site will be lost.

I think that is the point of@vernalsoul, as well, therefore I definitely agree with that.
There are plenty of other forums that are specialized in these kind of topics, but HE has another public, the intentions are different, and I think that should be respected, rather than turning into, indeed a facebook cuddle club.

@ijesuschrist, Right? There’s two ends of the spectrum: suffering people who create help topics, and bored people who make validation-of-existence topics. I like the shit in-between. Topics by people who are genuinely curious and intrigued about things.

There should almost be topic-creation/posting limitations based on some sort of ‘karma’ system (see: gamefaqs.com). We should have an invisible flagging system. New users can only post like 5 times per day and create 1 topic per week until like a week of minimal flags (only veteran accounts can flag). The more your account matures the more you graduate toward free posting status.
Moderators can demote user status.

@trek79,

YOU said everything I could ever want to say about this topic! Thank you :)

@vernalsoul, @filipek,

Relationship advice has been going on here since I’ve known about this site (2 and a bit years?)

The truth is guys, not a lot has changed with different types of discussions. This has been around a lot longer than most of you. So it appears to me that people want to change the site back to what it was when they got here even though it wasn’t to much different? So could that mean they only want it to suit there own needs?

@filipek, so basically, you value the posts which interest you as those of “higher interests” and ” deeper meanings”, while those you do not wish to read are “low graded absurd stupidities” . THe whole point of this site, I believe, was to let the people speak their thoughts about anything and everything. Now, you would like to restrict the topics which are posted. Wouldn`t it be defeating its own purpose then?

@danfontaine The flagging system sounds good

I thought High Existence was about open mindedness… seems like there’s a lot of closed minds here.

There is probably a handful of recent “relationship” related posts so if you don’t wanna read them, don’t. Like @trek79 said, “a key factor in every human beings existence is relationships, be they romantic, familiar, friendly, social, humanitarian, sexual, or civil”. If this website is not accepting as myself (or my peers, for that matter) along with all my REAL WORLD problems, then I don’t wanna be here. And I’m sure most of the people on this website don’t spend every moment of their lives living like a HEthen if that makes sense, we all have normal relationship and other sort of problems. Sheesh, can’t even believe people are complaining about this.
