  2. The commitment should be to teach the truth , not falsehood.
  3. All teachers have perspectives that are more or less false. It’ll always be tainted with bias and ego to some degree.
  4. Just imagine the human potential being wasted on understanding women, while we could have used this energy to explore space. But in general I think less is more.
  5. I’m sad that our teacher is teaching us delusion and falsehood.
  6. They do that under the impression that it is good. Look at the genocidal Zionists. They have malice because they think they are doing good by killing demons. You are not appreciating how relativistically twisted it gets. A selfish person thinks that malice is good.
  7. Evil is more than selfishness. Evil includes malice. Genuine intentional malice. Some people are genuinely bad. They seek harm. They enjoy doing evil, just like most people enjoy doing good.

  9. That’s just my opinion. I read it five years ago when I first got seriously interested in spirituality; it’s very engrossing and gives the impression of "revealed truth," yet it leaves you with a strange feeling, something I couldn't quite define at the time. Now I see it clearly. The book frames reality based on an "error", the emergence of form, suggesting something like "the Son" straying from the formless perfection of the Father and suffering because, unconsciously, he wants to return to it. All of this is a total fantasy, a fabrication that is also completely impossible. Within infinite, formless totality, "the Son" cannot simply emerge at a specific moment. If form is possible, there is no perfect, formless "before"; there is simply form, period. Form is the inevitable manifestation of limitless Being; it has no beginning because there is no "before form", and furthermore, it says that this "fallen" never happened, that it's an illusion, it's not happening. that would introduce an impossible, absolute limit into reality: formless and form, real and illusion. And therein lies the problem with ACIM: it introduces an absolute limit into your mind, trapping you in an unbridgeable duality disguised as non-duality. It prevents true openness because it doesn't view form for what it is, manifested totality, but rather as something that must undergo some kind of change to return to the Father. It’s a psychotic mental mess and, to me, toxic on a level-10 scale, in the sense that prevents the real dissolution of the limits and the openess to the absolute, something that could happen right now because what we are is the absolute in a form, it's extremely simple.
  10. Seems Leo needs to bring back the Solipsism video that was taken down a while back
  11. I think for most people, @AerisVahnEphelia is right. Empathy can be a survival strategy no different than exploitation, but, some people are self sacrificing @AerisVahnEphelia, so i think you're being too simplistic.

    yeah, thats why its priceless. I gotta do the shit myself
  13. I think you sort of conflate two things together that don’t need to be. I agree with you in terms of judging people. We will often times judge people and create a hierarchy of being “being better” than someone. I think looking at people and the world this way where it’s about good vs bad, etc makes it difficult to stay open and spiritually connected. This shouldn’t be conflated with looking within though and making judgements form what you believe to be true and allowing that to shape your life. You can look within and see if someone hurting other people aligns with yourself and decide then on the actions you will take. So in that regard we can decide what we believe is right for ourselves and by extension other people, but this can be done without a sort of overarching fundamental judgement or hierarchy of making yourself morally superior and thinking you are better and more special than anyone. You can recognize someone who is abusive to people is dangerous to society and take appropriate action to remove them from it without judging their spiritual worth and the fact that they exist here and now. You don’t need to hate someone or think you’re better than someone to do right.
  14. Explain to me the rational from this https://www.instagram.com/reel/DdO63OTMGCx/?rpxt=MWNkdWMzbnZ0ZHN0OA== Every second, you move about 230 kilometers through the galaxy. And you never feel it. We picture the solar system like a clock: planets circling a Sun that stays put. But the Sun does not stay put. It is racing around the center of the Milky Way at about 230 km/s (828,000 km/h), carrying every planet with it. After one year, Earth is back at the same point in its orbit, but the orbit itself has moved: you are more than seven billion kilometers from where you started. One lap of the galaxy takes about 230 million years. The last time the Sun was here, the first dinosaurs were only just appearing. And we do not travel unprotected. The Sun's wind streams outward at around a million miles an hour, inflating a vast bubble around the entire solar system: the heliosphere. It deflects roughly three quarters of the galactic cosmic rays that would otherwise reach us. Its edge is so far out that Voyager 1, launched in 1977, needed 35 years to cross it (August 25, 2012, at 121.6 AU). And here is the surprise. Most diagrams draw a shock wave out front, like a boat cutting through water. There isn't one. We drift through the interstellar gas at just 23 km/s, too slow for a shock. Only a gentle bow wave. So the next time you look up, remember: you are riding inside a bubble, sweeping through the galaxy, and you have never once felt it move. ℹ️ Source: NASA Solar System Facts (Sun's galactic orbit); NASA/JPL Voyager (heliopause crossing Aug 25, 2012); NASA "Uncovering Our Solar System's Shape" (cosmic-ray shielding); McComas et al., Science, May 10, 2012 (IBEX: no bow shock, 23.2 km/s); heliosphere animations by NASA Goddard Space Flight Center (public domain); solar-system and heliosphere visualizations via @our_visibleuniverse and @thereasonroomphysics .... I mean, this are rational explanations of where we are. Even if we have no direct experience of this. Is like: I am writing this in a beach, in an exact day at 11:06 via a eletronic device ( and I can even describe the whole rest of details around me plus my own body and how I feel in the moment) And at same time the video shows I am traveling inside a solar bubble around a black-Hole. How rational is that?

    No, that's not the same. Although those who worship the Buddha are making a similar mistake.
  16. @Leo Gura ahhh got ya
  17. Depression is not just no feelings. General emotional numbness is a symptom of depression, not all of it. Depression itself actually feels like a heavy burden, which mutes out the bandwidth and ability to feel positive feelings. There's no such a thing as out of the blue. Nobody lives in a vacuum. But there is often a breaking point, where bad environment overpowers the individual mind's capacity to stay functional. Hence, the seemingly sudden shift.
  18. You learned the wrong opener from this thread. Your new opener should be: "Hi. I am a serial killer."

    @Leo Gura awesome posts about Christianity in the blog! The same goes for Mohammad and the Buddha right? They are just inventions in the minds of the followers? Also something that Christians love to say is that Jesus fulfilled a prophecy. So many of the stories about what Jesus did are there because of that.
  20. @AerisVahnEphelia That is what the Marxists say in your own words. But actually in line with your theory people don't commit rape out of "laziness" lol; rather it’s because social structures have conditioned us (to the point of genetic imprinting over the long term) to reject that particular possibility. Framing it as laziness or a fear of raping is in itself essentialist and inconsistent with your theory. I assume this idea comes from Nietzsche, though he likely wouldn't have thought that someone liberated from "moraline" would gravitate toward particularly barbaric acts. On the contrary it is precisely those constraints that ultimately give rise to strange or even bellicose urges, like a pressure cooker that eventually explodes.
  21. Aim higher. Be a mafia boss. It's more attractive
  22. It took me a long time to realize that there are genuinely good people and genuinely bad people. Some people have rotten core. There is just no way around that. And it can't all be reduced down to genetics or environment or upbringing. It's a combination of all those, and probably other factors that make up one's conscious and unconscious selves.

    @Vynce You are wrong is such deep ways that only you can know.

  25. What is depression meta-physically?

    That seems like stating the obvious to me. How specifically?
