Why is it bad to go to the absolute level in the mind? Because it counters a thought with a thought? Why are these thoughts? Are thoughts coming from some unseen, unconscious "place" where there is alot of "darkness" which is to say a feeling of guilt or anxiety, etc.? Is the world and the mind created as denials of that feeling? And now to heal, do you have to let to go of all mechanisms of defence against that bad feeling, and learning to dissolve that feeling? But then wouldn't the reest of the practice actually feel bad? Like hours and hour sand hours of feeling bad? Sure there's a background of peace, but you do feel the bad feeling too. Do you let go of the thoughts and plunge into the feeling beneath them, and then stay there? I wish I could get enlightened through a magic pill. I tried many times and sadly that didn't work, unfortunately, at least not permanently.

Nuke bombs are WAY more powerful than you realize. There is a reason other countries with nukes won't go after the US. That is because the US has so many nukes. It's an eternal stalemate. No one will truly win the war. If a nuke gets set off, EVERYBODY DIES! War is not the solution. Raising the collective consciousness through being a higher version of ourselves will shift the collective consciousness and when that happens, these corrupt structures will dissolve automatically.

To heal the mind, do you have to take up an active or a passive stance within?

It is extremely consistent. I have used it to accelerate my awakening and understanding of science, spirituality, society, politics, programming concepts, etc. To make it give you proper answers, you need to ask it proper questions and control where it gets its info from. Here is an example below: <Your question here> Answer according to <Your spiritual teacher/source here> Deepak Chopra has talked about the spiritual use of AI. According to him, AI can be a mirror of human consciousness. What's your thoughts on it? -
karma yes or no? Seems like a yes. How to use it? Should I even think about it, or is it not important?

So do thoughts come with a certain emotion if you give them your attention, or is it only when you believe a thought and give it attention does it grow more real and powerful, even giving it the power to create experience - both internal and external, as these two are so close - the outside world is really within, it is your own dream, your own fantasy and there is no one else in it. The reality of the physical illusion is exactly equal to the reality of objects in your fantasies. They operate under the same metaphysical and psychological laws, and psychology and metaphysics have to be brought together to truly liberate. When I feel sick - how do I heal that feeling? Where does it come from? Is it ever a mistake in the physical world, or is what happens in a dream always merely a symbolic reflection of the mistakes that are happening in your mind right now, and if you change your mind, you can heal yourself immediately.? Is it enough to say, and mean it: "this isn't true" to a thought that feels bad? Is this what it means to bring forgiveness and guilt thought together? Is Stillness, used as an instrument of your will, a tool of denial? Is Stillness the natural condition we return to when we dis-identify from the ego? Jamie said these words, but I think I only now begin to understand them. The issue is that when I was in control of Stillness, I could come back to feeling good any moment of any day, but now, it feels like I need to drop into the bad feeling to heal it, instead of choosing Stillness to - Which I thought completely deletes that feeling from existance, now you need to relax into the feeling and experience it out to return to Stillness, and that is the way to heal instead of deny, let the light heal instead of using the light to heal, instead truly denying the darkness. Uh oh, don't like this at all. But have to do it, now there's no way to not do it when doing anything else seems just wrong. Isn't this also the most direct way, because you are jumping immediately into the no-self zone? It's not being no-self permanently, just relaxing into it for a while? Why do I feel so bad now? Pain in the eyes, a slight headache daily. Hm. I do oversleep and don't upkeep a consistent sleep schedule, but it generally varies only about 2 hours. How much of feeling sick and tired a condition of the mind? How much are chemicals, what you eat, etc. affect your health? Are we always just giving power to agents in our dream to seemingly affect us, but we are just using that as a way to deny the power of our mind? Is the ego always saying: something or someone else did this to me - food, person, chemical, environment - whatever. | Am I always doing the guilt in my mind? Am I always responsible for it? And is guilt always the reason for feeling sick/tired/depressed/, etc? In the end, when completely healed, is there even pain in the body? I remember thinking: just show me my whole ego -- c'mon, I can handle it! Now, I'm grateful for going slow. Not that the ego is real or guilt, but I am still unable to look at everything with forgiving eyes, so things will look guilty and horrible to me. Also, the value of the self - what is it fundamentally? And how do you dissolve it? Through letting go, doing nothing inside, or through looking at it, knowing what it is, and consciously, logically saying no to it? Do I have to understand all of the ego's defenses? Anyway.. This is getting too serious.. I'll go eat some cereal..

But as a result you will not have the opportunity to open up and will continue to tacitly declare that Marxists are wrong here and there because it suits your ego structure. In a debate, you either shut down and are humiliated, or you incorporate what the other person is proposing. You said somewhere that Buddhist monks were very exclusionary but that's neurotic projection lol, Buddhism is about inclusion and it's because the monks integrate so much that they find themselves isolated from classic human issues; because taking an interest in them would recreate separation, karma. -
@Husseinisdoingfine i heard elon musk say thats what hes going for in an interview. The first time I heard the phrase was out of elons own mouth.

@Someone hereI have and he helps me become independent but my whole life he was an abusive person. Beatings, punishments, emotional abuse and other horrible stuff. Add to that my autism and other mental problems no wonder I am on welfare, but I need to change. But he is more relaxed now, he is not abusive, at least not to that horrible level. So whenever I tell him to show me something he shows me. It's mostly my mother that helps me and give responsibilities. I never had a good father model, never will, but that's life, I was unlucky to have these people as parents. I love them but after all that abuse I also hate them. Anyway, this is about responsibilities and independence not about my abuse and parents. Thank you so much for the reply.

Would you be able to debate with a solid Marxist intellectual. -

humor me on this—theres the mystical side of things, and then, there is mother nature's side of things, like the physical earth, the foundation, the roots, the bone, that bottom level that no one wants to go down but that you have to go down. Its like, think bout how much DIRT, how much shit is around us—Wouldnt yous say, theres alot more dirt than there is for instance, life, right? point being its like, we are blinded by the dirt. We are drowning in it, and thats just whats on the outside. Then youve got the crust in our brains... but i digress... this is akin to the exploration of earth, ourselves and the spiritualness therein. like, to communicate anything about the mystical realm is one thing, and if you are thinking of the mystical realm in those sortve logical terms, ya its gonna be a confusing/uneventful experience tryina contend w/...but everyone can experience the mystical side of things, through said mystical directions. Like you qre very much just starting, so thats more like, you are just now trying. Like, the conclusion most come to isnt exactly that "it cant be understood", rather its that, "understanding it" is more the logical depiction of it, where as "experiencing it" is closer to what you would be going for—Again—when in the mystical -

Schizophonia replied to Ponder's topic in Society, Politics, Government, Environment, Current Events
Basically it means a system based on the principle of surplus value; capital is something (a company's cash, means of production...) that is intended to produce surplus value in the end. In a communist ideal there is no surplus value, and therefore no really economy either, since production and distribution is state-planned "to each their means, to each their needs". -

I got ChatGPT to talk about this sort of stuff, finally! It didn't contradict me all too much. What do you guys think? I will extract the parts I thought were interesting, is ChatGPT wrong? Is this consistent with what Leo talks about? Did ChatGPT describe absolute truth in the above statement? Again, this seems consistent with the deepest insights from Leo. This seems true. Why not? Why can't I dream something like that and shift timelines to such a degree? There is almost no character consistency in life, but I can imagine that there is. So is there any consistency in the physical world? If I don't imagine gravity for a moment, it doesn't really exist. Some experiment for gravity exists, but it exists merely as a CONCEPT! Not as a real thing. Nothing does, it appears to me. Again, why not? But this seem quite apparent though. What does Leo say about this? Anyway I challenged it and it came with this: BUT ISN'T THE EXPERIENCE IMAGINED? Isn't then ALL OF DUALITY IMAGINED!? That's confusing. But I heard Ram Dass stories that they did, so which one is it then? WHY CAN'T I GENERATE A FUCKING PINK ELEPHANT OUT OF THIN AIR!!!??? that sounds about right. What does Leo think about this? Well, I am also imaging Leo in this dream. But I know deep down in my heart that I can make miracles happen in physical reality! If such a desire existed. I feel an infinite possibility field that is only visible through my RAS, but it's literally infinite possibility in this moment right here and now. Either way it would be cool if I could see what you guys think about these specific things that ChatGPT said. -
No. Most markets are regulated. Capitalism means corporations are privately owned and traded on stock markets and their profits go to shareholders.
