    Sunday: September 20th, 2026. Growing out of love easily is distinct from hard feelings.
  4. I'm not sure this tells me much, haha. False as in incoherent, non-integrous, non-whole, non-one.

    Sunday: September 20th, 2026. Observant of non-verbal interest cues is distinct from unspoken disbelief.
  9. It is contradictory if you assume it's false. But I dare you to imagine that it's true.
  10. Wouldn't this be the one example that's contradictory? What would the "other gods" be made of if not from God? What would the separation between them even be? I suppose this aspect is a bit confusing, haha.
  11. Anyway, it’s good to hear your echoes have returned here, I really do enjoy listening to all our ideas that appear as you. Thanks for showing up again..pen in hand. ✍️ Don’t shut up, be loud, be the greatest sound bite ever told, we’re all just listening to ourselves because it’s a fascination thing. I think of sound heard as words as a way of entering into a never ending curious fascination for mystery and vibration that stimulates every electron in the body to respond with a jiggly urge to jive to the rhythm of its own beat. But I’m just a cheesy nerd, and I don’t care, I’m here to let down my hair. Lol 😝
  12. Well, if you want to create that, have at it!
  13. How does that change the fact that all words have been made up ? ie artifical meaning
  14. It depends on who you think The Creator is, in part.
  15. It is exactly an example of what I said.
  16. That is... ...waaaaaaait for it... . ..relatively (un)true.
  17. Are words not random sounds invented and given meaning by someone you never met ? The meaning of words are not baked into reality. So is there any real connection between language/thoughts and what seems to be happening. Or are we just telling each other stories. Maybe there is no nonfiction section in the bookshop.
  18. Not everything is a story. But a lot is lol.
  19. I love how you express things with such clarity, thank you (I find it interesting that most of the radical nondual speakers don't even want to use the word Consciousness. Like Jim will say consciousness is part of the illusion of the sense of a separate me. He describes his experience of life now as: thoughts and feelings arise, but there is no knower of it. Seeing and hearing happens, but there is no knower of it. Even Emerson doesn't want to make a claim either way. One of his questions is: what are you without the awareness of awareness?) I am curious, how do you view this ?
  20. How would you see the infinity of gods fitting into this? I think this was the one that always confused me. By definition, God cannot have any other, or any other level of "wokeness" beyond itself. So to imagine any other "god infinity" beyond it, unless it's in some way a fragmented, imposed, fake limitation/separation, seems unfitting.
  21. Think of it like this: Consciousness has to imagine how Woke it can be. If it can't imagine a new level of Wokeness, it can't reach it. If you tell yourself, "Buddhist enlightenment is all there is to consciousness", then that becomes your reality. Because you aren't willing to imagine anything more. So my advice is: be ambitious with your imagination, rather than playing humble.
  22. Yes, everything is story. Ahoy San Fran

  23. Looks Decide More Than You Think.

    Old man is another one.
  24. Yes, that's exactly what Emerson is doing, helping people to tap into what's already and always the case. In my opinion normie probably refers to someone religious or purely scientific. You know the people who think we are nuts. I have heard other nondual speakers (who also use Emerson's approach) say, that more and more people are somehow coming for one on one's, who have no background in spirituality as such. ie the line of questioning is effective in getting most people to see through the illusionary nature of mind, and thus the sense of a separate me. But you right, the lines are blurring with the normie definition, because for example so many people are trying psychedelics these days etc. The one question of Emerson in particular that I like are the Inbetween questions: What's between doing and not doing, what's between acceptance and rejection, what's between empty and not empty, what's between mind and no mind etc. (He has loads of one on one sessions on his channel, pretty cool to watch minds popping.)

  25. What is some music you like?

  26. Looks matter. More than people want to admit. Not just in dating, everywhere. Your career. Your friends. The way people judge your intelligence, your kindness, your character, before you’ve even opened your mouth. Look good, and suddenly people fill in the blanks for you. They assume you’re confident. Smart. Interesting. Worth knowing. Look bad? Well, suddenly you have to prove every single thing they’d have given you for free if you were attractive. Looks affect your whole life. You just have to be honest enough to admit it.
