  1. Past hour
  2. Rodents don’t have a life.
  3. Then the unlimited reality would be a timeline Also affirm that others experiences aren't real but a projection of your mind is conceptualizing
  4. Agree. What’s remarkable about God is that being all one there’s nothing to attach to that is not the one. It would be like trying to split reality into two halves. It’s absurd.
  5. Reactions are only known after the action, never before the action. All actions are action-less. You cannot do something before you do something. Doing is instantaneous in the moment, never before or after. The moment is all there is, unchanged unmoving. Only the mind moves not you.
  6. @Breakingthewall, let's forget about solipsism for now. I mean whatever is actual is actual, and whatever is potential can actualize itself later. From my observation, experience, by definition, must be actual; it is some way and not other way. So, we cannot actually compare experience with potential experiences because we will not be comparing experiences that are actual. You can think about potential experiences by conceptualizing. Interestingly, the act of conceptualizing potential experiences is an actual experience. This makes, for example, your sight a thing that doesn't have its other.
  7. As artists we love to improvise, we feel its the purest form of art, in the moment expressing what you feel. The only problem with improvisation is that it is not gonna come off professional and will not be appreciated by the general public. This is something to be understood very clearly. If you want to be a great artist, performer, you must have a show that has been practiced a 1000 times. If it involves speaking you would have to know what you say before you say it, if its movements, dancing, juggling I don´t care what it is, you must have practiced the exact thing you perform atleast a 1000 times and even that is not good enough, because now you have only practiced it in front of a mirror, you should perform it in real life on open mics or different places. To be great, to be the best, you got to practice even when you think you got it, Michael Jackson could probably do a show without any practice yet he never stopped practicing, because he didn´t wanted to be good, he wanted to be the best. This is why most artists fail, they fail, because they are not professional, they improvise, they just do some random stuff, nothing is thought through deeply, nothing has been practiced for long enough and mastered. A great mentor of mine told me its better to have a short performance of 15 mins that is really great then an hour or half an hour of just good. You don´t want good, you want the best, you want excellence and that comes with practice. You might judge what I say here, but look at the movies you watch!? These are with the best actors who practiced their art, practiced the script, its all prepared, nothing is improvised and all you never watch any improvised movie. You don't pay to go to a concert, to watch someone improvise, Beyonce knows exactly what she has to do, she practiced and rehearsed it a 1000 times, aswell as the whole team of dancers who know and learned the chorography. They practiced for months before even going on stage. So this is for any artist, if you want to go to the next level, you got to do better, meaning you got to work on one performance, one piece of art, not 10 not 20, focus on one thing, do it really really well, master it. Look where it could be improved even in the slightest ways. This is how you will become great, with improvisation you will maybe feel more connected to your art, but you won't have mastered it. In my performance I have mastered it, and there are still levels higher for me to go, it never ends. But with this good of a show I am confident to promote, sell or market it. How can you be confident about something you have never done before? How can you be confident in your improvisation skills? The biggest people I know in any creative industry put in the hours, put in the work, to really master a few things instead of doing a bunch of stuff only with half effort. The greatest artists release an album only once in a couple of years, not to forget that the greatest artists have all the money, resources that you don't have, also they have much more time to work on it then you have, so if your a musician you would have to put in the double the work the people on the top put into it. And to end it on this note, I think what I would ask you is how serious are you about this? If you take your art serious, you should want to share it with the general public, but therefor also consider that they are not gonna resonate with improvised shows, music or any piece of art. People love professionals, professionals get paid and the aspiring artist will live broke, because they never adapt, they always remain idealistic, when I started persuing art I never wanted to be broke, so I adapted, I stopped believing that people just need to like whatever I do, because they don't. Everyone can make a youtube video with 1 view, how many can truely put in the work to make a successful video? Its not luck, its not talent, its work, practice, scripting and rehearsing, trying and failing. A few succeed, because only a few are willing to do what it takes. Blame yourself for how far you have made it, take responsibility and only then will you improve.
  8. There isn’t a contradiction. The infinite reflections are not the looker, they are the looked upon, they are reflections. A reflection sees nothing, a reflection is the seen inseparable from the seer, there’s no division. Notice the seeing is always forward facing and cannot look back at itself which would imply two seers. Also, reflections are always seen as two dimensional objects, because the looker can only see the front of a reflection, it cannot see the front and back of it simultaneously. So a reflection can never be seen in its entirety as a whole 3 dimensional object. Objects never see other objects, because they are never outside of the looker looking back at the looker. Objects being another word for reflections, or projections. The looker, looking and looked upon are inseparable. The eye cannot see itself is a profound metaphor for self-awareness, stating that the observer cannot directly observe their own fundamental nature, just as an eye needs a mirror to see itself. The looker is never in the mirror. The reflection in the mirror is an empty projection of the looker which is the only real. And that’s solipsism in a nutshell. Leo is right about solipsism.
  11. I hate pedophiles not just for the crimes but how they create so much distrust and paranoia in society. I also wonder if there are any theories on how they keep ending up in positions of influence.
  12. Today
  13. Half knowledge is best.
  14. This may be true to some degree but it can be harmful to a victim's mental health especially if very young. This is why law set age limits for consent, though even then, 16 year old can still be mentally vulnerable.
  15. As long as they don't act on their impulses, empathy is important. You need to separate between the person and their actions.
  16. I don't understand how that relates to solipsism. Do you mean that your experience is the only reality you know, and other experiences don't exist for you now? That doesn't imply they aren't possible. In fact it implies that are possible.
  17. @Breakingthewall, how can you compare something that exists with something that doesn't exist? Well, you can, but you'll be comparing the ideas of what was actual. Won't you? For me, actuality and potentiality are like apples and oranges.
  18. Everyone is a pedophile to a degree; I happen to be someone who can admit it. I mean, you can lie as much as you want, but I know everyone has, at some point, wanted to have sex with a minor. Ofcourse, you can get angry if pedophiles do harmful things, but you have to see it as stealing candy from a friend. The problem is that you have put so much weight on pedophiles thanks to society, but actually, it's not that dangerous.
  19. dating is only a rocketscience if you are trying to make neurotypical girls be into you
  20. @Ramanujan just go with Owen. He is a safe bet. I saw his infield and it is very natural and authentic making a real connection while Todd comes off as he is running a script and just pushing buttons.
  21. So does emathy mean you accept harmful behaviour? Of course you can habe empathy for pedophiles, modt pedophiles actually dont act on their urges. I have epathy for that. You even can habe empathy for someone who acts on their urges but what you are doing is excusing it. can you have empathy for the people who get angry if a pedophile does harmful behaviour?
  22. Solipsism say that only you are real and what's happening is a projection of your mind, and when this experience finish, you will have another, and another, but never at same time. Solipsism means confusing the relative with absolute . There is not "you" having an experience. The you appears in the experience, the reality is not a self who has an experience, it the unlimited "where" experiences happen
  23. Still learning what spirituality really is. It's common that I learn what it is not, and it is usually associated with what my assumptions are about anything. So technically I am less wrong, but always wrong in some way. I think that the opposite of spiritual is the creation of a self of which to occupy a space and then empowering that. It could be good or edgy or whatever. It's sort of self-conformist tendency which is natural. And to put it that way, you could even say, that the opposite of spiritual could be composed of moments, states of mind and being, and stages we get trapped in rather than a ultimatum. What I seem to react to is the use of psychic mediumship, fancy imagination techniques, self-identified enlightenment, hedonism, kundalini-like assumptive work, and flowery language, associated with radical assumptions that create groupthink and then convey a truth but it becomes a parroting rather than experience. What i seem to react to is the presentation of the promise which is basic marketing, in the form of spirituality, which becomes the means to satisfy financial means, status, pleasure, intellectual satisfaction. These are orange tendencies guised in the form of the saint, magician, and lover. It's shadowed by the desire to obtain, to be seen, and to hold power. This is difficult to avoid for anyone. I have to see it, know it, and let it go when it arises. To say I'm free of that is nonsense. But i think there is a spectrum of self awareness. "Is the thing revealing insight into the nature of reality" This is a liberating metric. Removes the judgement from what you're doing, even if it is flawed, or fake. As long as the process is revealing something to you about deception and truth. People know their skill but without relevant comparison or humility of their skill they can easily be overwhelmed by their own assumptions and then they wont progress further than their new found excitement. In my own training, when "special stuff" happens, the common response is "don't worry about it" "let it go" "keep going" "Yes we have many of these things" "humility is essential" "as your skill grows, so too should your humility" Yadda yadda, humility seems to be important. But in the marketplace, it is elevation of the self in order to attract a market, that gets you somewhere.
  24. Yes it's actual in the sense that is happening, but the solipsism idea means that only this experience exist, then means that this "happening" is absolutely, and that's impossible because any happening happens in relation with anything else. What is absolute is the reality, what is happening, not the happening. Then it could be said that you and me are the same: the reality. But the happening is another.
  25. You’re probably the type of person who claps when the plane lands.
  26. I didn´t join this forum to speak about mundane things, but I find it interesting to watch, now that I am already 51 and have stopped caring about women, dating and sex quite a long time ago, how young men and women get together in a country that seems to be so different to mine. If what you speak about is true, there seems to be so many codes in the USA to decipher that casual sex looks more like a hieroglyph than pure fun. Although in a very indirect way based on reportedly casual physical contact (no...) and lingering looks , here women make very clear what they want, so it is up to us if we´re the chosen ones, to act accordingly if we want it. And if we are the ones to approach, most times things will end up well, not necessarily in a sexual relationship, but in a nice conversation and a future possibility. It really surprises me how different things seems to be there.

  27. Have empathy for Pedophiles
