  1. Past hour
  2. @cetus The only reason you think that is because you are identified as the human. Death forces you to identify with the ocean of conciousness. You will be there and you will see it you will be it. There is a difference in witnessing deep sleep and being deep sleep. You never dissapear its coming to terms with that that is hard. You will know you are still there when you are dead. You can still think or be emotional when you are dead. When you fully die you will still be there not emoting just looking. You think deep sleep is nothing because you are not currently identifying with it. When you do you see its you and you exist forever.

    Okay 😂😂
  6. There's a difference between being a solipsist as an idea in your mind, a self image and actually conscious of solipsism.
  7. Going halfway doesn't count. That's like dipping your toe in the water to see if it feels cold. You gotta jump in all the way. *Edit: Not physical death but surrendering the "I am"

  9. If you believe death to be like nothing, why would you be concerned about it? Are you concerned when you go to sleep that you’re gonna “disappear “ in deep sleep as in being unconscious ? If you are in deep sleep forever, there’s no you there to mind it. Any concern is just image in your mind, you’re fearing life! Because you’re fearing an image in your mind, your thoughts are form and you’re scared. (I don’t believe death is permanent deep sleep but plenty do, so that’s what I refer to)
  10. Yeah death is absolutely terrible, I wouldnt do it. I became a little dead once and it was horrible, here is what I saw:
  11. Once Eckhart Tolle was asked about alcohols effect on consciousness he said something like “if your state of consciousness is affected by a few glasses of wine then there’s not much to it”. Basically saying that if your state of consciousness is high or stable or whatever, a bit of alcohol shouldn’t affect you or hurt your spiritual development . So it’s not that it increases it, just that if you start of with high consciousness (and i think mental stability also works this way) then it has less effect. From personal experience, even if I drink a lot, I never lose control and I’m aware of everything I say and do. It only dims my reality a bit, doesn’t bring anything up for me (that’s why I don’t crave it becuase I don’t get euphoric) Not saying I have high consciousness I’d rather say it’s consistency in my personality and not having much repressed tendencies that can come up when theres less inhibition. If alcohol is sedating or makes people obnoxious etc it’s odd that you in particular would feel more conscious on it. Also considering it’s a toxic substance.
  12. Once death has come, I won't know it. My practice has always been to relinquish all experience to the greater- infinite consciousness. Perhaps at death a "Knowing" could possibly remain devoid of experience. We'll see.
  13. @UnbornTao You make some good points. What if someone is attempting to communicate their truth, but it so happens that there's already a term for it which more or less encompasses what's meant by that truth (at least in the communicator's mind)? Is it not useful to label a truth (eg. the truth of X, or "solipsism") to then fluently refer to it in conversation? I don't like the word solipsism. But for me it's the closest single word to what I wish to convey: This right now is all that is. There's nothing beyond this moment/experience. You are God. You are this. (And, of course, there is no "you".) I understand. I respect your value of striving to be very epistemologically rigorous and to not take on beliefs. I think it's a nice counterbalance to others' posts. Your perspective is valuable, even in just the simple fact that it's rather unique among most others here. I honestly appreciate the diversity. Eh. Yeah, you're right. It is a waste of time. 🤷‍♂️ I appreciate his perspective (especially his most basic formula and teachings) and I like to think about what he says. But ultimately I'm always the final arbiter of truth anyway. I can as well contemplate from scratch, with more genuine "results". External perspective can be useful too though, as grist for the mill.
  14. Don't assume you know what death is.

  15. Truth-orientation

    Leo Gura replied to Joshe's topic in Personal Development -- [Main]

    That's because you're not truth-oriented. Love of Truth or bust.
  16. "I" disappears all the time. Deep sleep. Deep meditation (turiya). Same with death. This small wave of consciousness called the "I" folds back into an of ocean of consciousness.

  17. Truth-orientation

    Joshe replied to Joshe's topic in Personal Development -- [Main]

    But I was talking about a mechanism, not a value. Also, it's interesting that people are driven to truth by having a passion/love for it. I don't have feelings about truth. I'm driven toward functional coherence and I update my models/beliefs immediately as new evidence crosses my credibility thresholds - regardless of the costs. But I never felt a "passion" or "love" for truth. Truth only matters because non-truth breaks functionality.

  18. The New American Food Pyramid

    Sugarcoat replied to freddyteisen's topic in Health, Fitness, Nutrition, Supplements

    Yea. I think the recommendations has some influences yes. And yea I drink it too in coffe only One reason may be that because it contains a lot of nutrients, it’s healthy in that aspect, and since it’s convenient (it’s one single food with plenty nutrients that many find appetizing, instead of being recommended to combine several plants to get the same nutrients) then they’re more likely to recommend it because in some way they’re trying to make it easily applicable to public But nutrient dense ofc doesn’t automatically mean healthiEST. For example full fat diary has quite a bit saturated fat, and they still recommend max 10% saturated fat a day. So it’s a little contradictory to recommend it so much. Some thoughts
  19. I hope they are as healthy as the fresh varieties. I like to buy plain cooked legumes, except maybe lentils, which I get fresh, and then add a couple of stir-fried vegetables, like onion and red bell pepper, along with sauces, water, spices, salt, and some tomato soup to make a hearty meal in about 10 minutes. So yeah, I don't know
  20. It's simple. Reality is all happening in your head. There is no such thing as external. Everything is happening in your head, so to speak. That's it!
  21. Noo, nothing like that. The first implies a process (which there's none), and the second implies control over Will (which there's also none). Moreso this. I (as God) am creating this right now. In fact, I am this. There is no difference between me and it. Oh what joy! You = God = Imagination = Reality. A complete blending of the infinite nothingness/awareness/formlessness and form.

  22. The New American Food Pyramid

    Sugarcoat replied to freddyteisen's topic in Health, Fitness, Nutrition, Supplements

    I have heard that if every human on earth consumed daily animal products in the high quantity that a lot of people in the west do , even if it all was sustainably raised it wouldn’t be sustainable, cows etc need a lot of land to graze and food, and they still release methane. In smaller quantity I think it’s ok but not too much .

  25. The New American Food Pyramid

    UnbornTao replied to freddyteisen's topic in Health, Fitness, Nutrition, Supplements

    Not sure why dairy would be included in a pyramid like that. I get that commercial interests play a role in its design, though. Dairy is a relatively recent development in human history, and most adult mammals don't drink milk. It's not necessary for health at all. Probably neither are bread and pasta, strictly speaking. That said, I do drink full-fat milk daily, mostly in my coffee. A bit out of the blue, anyway.

  26. The New American Food Pyramid

    freddyteisen replied to freddyteisen's topic in Health, Fitness, Nutrition, Supplements

    Fixing the pyramid is definitely a step in the right direction. And hopefully European countries will follow along (I’m from Denmark myself). Environmentally, it’s positive to focus on high quality meat from grassfed cows (one cow can feed an entire family for a year) or on eggs from pasture raised chickens, whereas it is much more tanking on the environment to produce greenwashed labmade meat, highly processed oils, highly processed foods or spray millions of crops with pesticides to make ‘greensmoothies’. We’ve been sold a lie that Cows are the problem. They’ve been here for thousands of years, and they aren’t the ones destroying the environment. We’re going in the right direction of emphasizing more real nutrition like meat, butter, eggs and milk.
  27. All holes have dustfilters besides the back. I'm still looking for a solution to find a fitting dust filter for the back. But then again I don't have a lot of dust in my room and below my desk I have an air purifier that cleans the air from dust and so on.
