As I've gotten more and more into weight training I feel like I've missing a spiritual aspect. It's difficult to explain, but it feels like I should adopt a system of belief that will help me stay consistent and passionate about my training.
What religions or philosophies glorify strength and hardship? Certainly not Christianity, which glorifies weakness.

neck yourself heathen
Christianity for sure.
Germanic paganism?
I don't know, adopting a religion because of what you want to get out of it rather than what you actually believe to be true seems odd to me.
just be christian you fuckin kek

bitch what the fuck did you just say? en.wikipedia.org
Nihilism is freedom borne of accepting the hardest truth in life: that everything is meaningless. No god, no religion, no nation, no system or government has any intrinsic worth.
The first stage of this is despondency, as we realise so much of the importance people around us place on things is, at best, misguided. But true acceptance and understanding of this can be a sobering, liberating, even comforting experience. The adherent must simply remember that they also hold the power to challenge every assumption, evaluate every belief, and otherwise embrace what it means to be a lone human briefly standing on the edge of the void.
embrace Stoicism. Start with Marcus Aurelius and then move to seneca and Epictetus.
Lutheranism.
If you choose your faith based on what “muh strength” or “muh gains”, you’re a retard and a faggot.
This. Meditations is full of good insights.
If your looking for Eastern stuff I'd recommend The Book of the Five Rings by Miyamoto Musashi. He comes from a samurai/bushido background but it's another great insight into a viewpoint where the only real goal in life is self improvement, often through practice, reflection, and correction.
well what else should you choose it based on? certainly not some fictious concept of afterlife that some dude came up with
Nietzsche & Evola
>certainly not Christianity, which glorifies weakness
looks like someone watched a 16 minute 'intro to Nietzsche' video on youtube
>truth in life: that everything is meaningless
Contradiction
Lutheran Christianity from the old Germany that was good
>it feels like I should adopt a system of belief
Probably the most absolute brainlet statement I've read in a while.
>religion
>believe to true
It doesn’t need to be like this. You can follow a religion and lead a religious life as a way to align oneself with moral principles and a way of life that stretches back millennia. You can be a Christian, contemplate the religious life, the lives and good deeds of the saints, etc, without in the bottom of your heart actually believe in the existence of God or the miracles of Jesus- this belief can often just be a matter of circumstance, but you can live “religiously” as an act of one’s own moral reason.
You're a fucking idiot.
I don't like to lock myself to only one religion as I prefer to take knowledge from all. My main believes mainly stem from from, Christianity, Stoicism, Toaïsm, and nihilism. I recommend you to learn from multiple sources as well.
I haven't found God yet, so I am unsure about his existece, yet I bind myself to a way of life in high regards to his views.
For the believe that one day I can find him.
Imagine being this retarded
Unironically hindusism/maybe buddhism
Taoism and existentialist philosophy.
Praise de emprah

>Contradiction
Not necessarily. The sweeping destructive changes that nihilism can make to one's inner world is just the preliminary phase in trying to disprove the hypothesis.
To undergo that process and arrive at the conclusion that truth is also meaningless would invite a philosophy based on the total denial of reality, and then we're into the navel-gazing fog of solipsism.
So I agree it is a contradiction in terms, but a nihilist that did or does not value truth is primed to fall into other modes of thought that suffer the very trappings nihilism is meant to reject: stratified beliefs, unchallenged tradition, coddled thinking that relies on eternal rewards or concepts of the afterlife, etc. I think avoiding these is what the OP is looking for when he asks for a fit mindset... but seeking meaning, validation, or advice from 4channel is another action worth putting on trial.
Practice what your ancestors did before Kike on a stick meme became popular

>What religions or philosophies glorify strength and hardship?
Stoicism is the classic, tried and tested. It’s so fundamental that stoic resolve is seen as a positive in entirely different religions and philosophies.
Unfortunately the amount of available material to ponder is low. It’s more of a practicing philosophy. You act stoically or not. Learning to do it is part of the process, like meditation.
Buddhism is also built around the idea of life being tied to suffering. Unfortunately here you’re drowning in resources from the actual Buddhism with gods and ghouls and ghosts practiced in China to the westernized hippe and yoga variants that are completely disconnected from the eight fold path and want as suffering mentality.
Austere buddhism is probably best as zen buddhism or dzogchen which are both about the daily grind of meditation and mind control.
Though personally I prefer a daoist view on life because all this hardass bullshit is mostly just performance art. Few can actually internalize the level of cool needed to be genuinely stoic.
He was pagan you retard
Christians are cuck, Marie was blacked and Jesus died like a cuck
COPE
Majority of Germany during that time was Christian so he played with the popularity, a pagan or an atheist wouldn't have become the chancellor during those times.

Something aint adding up
>You forgot to reply to my post
I just posted without replying to anyone since I thought the context of the current state of the thread would be enough.
OP is a pagan larp who doesn't understand the phrase "the meek shall inherit the Earth"
You cannot deprive me of (You)s like this user this behavior is absolutely unacceptable.
Fine
Happy?
kikes are never happy
That's why they try to spread their misery to those around them.
Thank you user now please but more considerate in the future you fucking nigger
pretty sure you gotta be older than 15 to post here buddy
Lol just meditate on front of a mirror while consuming hallucinogens until your ancestors visit you.
why does it feel like every religion thread there are circle people in it sowing dissent
That's every thread.
It doesn't glorify weakness. It expresses the importance of humbleness.
The idea of coming back up after being at your lowest.
Dante's Divine Comedy is a good example of how you can really only achieve true glory once you've been at your lowest point.
