  1. Past hour
  2. Before any religion was invented, the first person to start a religion(how to "investigate 100% different from any thing") obviously didn't have a religion......
  3. It depends on how you do meditation. Meditation is extremely healthy to me, but I don't do anything fancy with meditation.
  4. @ambush Yea its social conditioning. just sit around. Notice you will have these social conditionings coming up all the time cause society makes you feel like useless loser for sitting around. This is programming. You keep having ideas about having to do something. If you wanna do something do it, if you dont, then dont do it. Fulfill social contracts so you wont feel bad about fking people over. But if people push new social contracts on you then dont buy in that you have to do it.

  5. Inception 2.0

    Inception replied to Inception's topic in Self-Actualization Journals

    Coward, I’ll never forgive myself. The regret is eating me from the inside out. As it should.
  6. Sounds very real. For me was the same, I was living in a state of anxiety and mental oppression that would destroy me. Like it was a war in my mind without a second of peace
  7. @Inliytened1 No, I can’t say for sure I have realized first hand I am God, but I do trust Leos work and the fact that he’s not alone in his conclusions also gives a lot of credibility to me. And you’re absolutely right it has given me some nihilistic perspectives. I think I overlooked the outcome of taking things as belief rather than experiencing it firsthand. Because if I did experience it firsthand, I likely wouldn’t have these frustrations. Leo always puts the disclaimer that you shouldn’t believe him and you should find out for yourself haha and I get why he says that but now it seems more appropriate than before.
  8. In the same manner that the religion is invented today. Religious people re-invent their religion every time it's sincerely practiced.
  9. The first person that experienced the experience that the religion guides you to, you said religion is necessary for the experience, how did the person that invented the religion do it then?
  10. I agree. I experienced some heavy things, but I wasn't scared of any. I faced all the sh*t. I was letting go of it until my mind calmed down. If anyone struggles with the dark side of meditation, ALWAYS REMEMBER THAT THERE IS A WAY OUT. DON'T GIVE UP HOPE. KEEP LETTING GO, RELAX, AND KEEP IN MIND THAT THE HEAVY STUFF WILL PASS. YOUR MIND WILL RESET ITSELF. DON'T BELIEVE THE ONES WHO SAY THAT THERE IS NO WAY OUT. HEALING IS ACHIEVABLE, NO MATTER HOW DARK IT SEEMS OR FEELS.
  11. @Hojo this is very interesting, you make a good point. I do find myself wishing I had some sort of Life-contract or whatever you hear about in NDE reports and what not. But that probably is conditioning and just another layer of illusion right? I’ll work on getting past the frustration.
  12. Meditation can cause psychosis in people without mental illness, especially when done so much.
  13. Right now, I have no wounds whatsoever. It felt painful before awakening to my true nature and during the process. But those were healed as awareness crept in—I could sense how the pain subsided. I did not have to heal myself—the higher level of consciousness did that for me. And I remember how much pain I was in before starting to meditate: Toxic shame, insecurity, no discipline whatsoever, and unable to keep a basic job. I was addicted to social media, junk food, weed, and so forth. All that had to go away, or my life would have been ruined. While it is true that I sacrificed my ego and other forms of pleasure, that doesn't mean I lost something. Because the bliss of awareness is much more enjoyable than anything in the world or of the ego. I'm not saying that all people should do what I did; I am only saying that force was necessary sometimes, and that it's no easy game to overcome the ego. And the way I see it now is that it's not a tragedy or something bad that happened to me. I see it as a little bit of ego an struggle. That's it. And that's true, Elliott. For some people, because they struggle with heavy mental health issues, they will experience horrible side effects as a result of meditating. But they can be transcended and eventually healed. I went through that because I come from both families with harsh intergenerational trauma. My grandfather committed suicide.
  14. The semantics here need to be precise. I'm not trying to be difficult, but, I'm choosing words carefully to prevent re-explaining. At that hypothetical moment, if there was only one person involved, the "person" is not directly experiencing it. It's still being abstracted through the microcosm of the physical realm. There aren't extant records of this, the very first religious experience. However, the earliest that I'm aware of used either the human body as the microcosm, or the constellations as a macrocosm. ETA: Primitive people directly experiencing reality falls in the category of Shamanism, not religion, imo.
  15. That's dissociation not spirituality https://www.popsci.com/health/meditation-pyschosis-rare/ Jun 21, 2021 — For a select few, it may lead to psychosis. Meditation has a very real effect on the brain—and for some people, there are side effects involved
  16. The last time there was an AI bubble crash was cerca 1987. Up to that time, the main paradigm was symbolic processing which culminated in expert systems. But expert systems had a major flaw. They couldn’t learn. So after the rules got to a size of millions it was a nightmare and programmers had to manually update the databases. In other words, expert systems couldn’t be scaled up. AI then gradually shifted to neural networks and the connectionist paradigm. Neural networks have learning built into the system, and the rules are replaced by weights modified by data. Deep learning and LLMs are built with mathematical advances on the neural networks. In addition, the hardware technology available has significantly advanced by orders of magnitude. Thus, the last AI crash was due to a fatal flaw. The current AI crash will be due to over investment as the technology requires billions of dollars of up front costs. But the technology has already proven itself and it is scalable. So the nature and duration of the crash will be different.
  17. When you awaken it feels like you are atlas putting the earth down after holding onto it for a long time. You will feel yourself starting to fly.
  18. You ended up in a good place yes. But you gave yourself wounds and trauma by mistreating yourself and sacrificing the joys of life. If these are not resolved, the good place will turn into the hellish place. Pain is not the way to go in my opinion.
  19. Yes but enlightenment imo means being open to what never dies, to the unlimited being, and being one with it. You describe the effect, but the point is being open to the cause. I'm not saying that you aren't, just explaining my point
  20. But there are benefits to being way more conscious. You forgive everyone, including the ones who 'harmed' you at some point in your life or scammed you. There's no condemnation of people. I kept forgiving. I do not judge. I do not impose myself on people. So? Why am I wrong? I don't plan to hurt people because I don't want to be a Zen devil.
  21. I will call this, the path of self-induced slavery. And you know the problem with slavery? Someone some day will be made to pay the price for your pain. You raped yourself into awakening. You will reap what you rape.
  22. Because a burden was lifted off your shoulders, and life is way easier, and there's no resistance to work or whatever you do.
  23. Many have that goal in mind, millions, but they don't get it, they stay in a state of emptiness , pure consciousness as they call it. but they never open the source of life, the absolute being, their living nature.
  24. Here's how diabolical 'Liberterian free speech' Thiel is, Gawker outed Thiel for being gay, Thiel now mines everyones personal information for business.
  25. Why do you call light of awareness? Maybe it would be awareness of the light . How do you see it?
  26. Yes, he was Smart and ambitious, and he never lied to himself, he was in mission of conquest. That's the only way (as I see it) to arrive to the openess to what is
