    I feel your pain, this shit has to stop
  3. It’s relative right . The separation between the sun and the moon is not absolute. Meaminh it could be interpreted as they are separated by distance and occupying different positions in space or as they are united because the matter that divides them and the gases is like a spectrum . Like two waves in the ocean. They look like separate things..But if you look deeper they’re both just movements of the same water. The waves have different shapes and locations.. yet they aren’t truly separate from the ocean that creates them or from each other.
  4. This relies on the assumption it's the spiritual path that causes suicidal moments. There could be many other reasons for suicidal ideation. And in fact, I could possibly make a claim that most suicidal ideation is caused by other factors.
  5. Real means that is. It's the same if you are one, two, illusion or anything, you are, or existence is. Being is everything, then it happens as self awareness. You could say that this self awareness is illusory because it's not two or anything, but that's just a valoration. The fact is that you are and that structure of being is aware of being
  6. But you actually know that the natural numbers are endless and that if you were to attempt counting them up it would never end ..how is this known without ever actually reaching the end ? infinity is only known implicitly. You can’t ever fully comprehend infinity explicitly. You are totally right but you misunderstand the why’s of it . The whys of it is that infinity by being infinity cannnot be contained in finite knowledge. Like a book or a theory or a lecture or an insight . Obviously nobody knows infinity or all of reality . Again You seem to assume that this means there is some sort of bug in the logic or it contradicts itself but I don’t see any reason to think that.
  7. Kinda like you refusing to answer my original question yesterday. Okay bro, just to make you happy, lets say it wasn't a low blow. Are you able to acknowledge that it's kind of a mute point then, considering that pretty much everyone on the spiritual path go through suicidal moments at one point or another. (Hands up everyone here who have never experienced a single suicidal moment in their life ?) Lets see if you are able to acknowledge that point.
  8. Yeah Garmin also 😃 hrv (80-100), rhr (40-46) stress normally 20% of day, and workouts average 140-150 average, but I do intervals so I typically range between 130-190bpm. Interestingly my hrv and rhr cycle with my period. Rhr always high the week prior by 10beats, hrv dip to the 70s. Food and sleep change shit sooo much. Eating before bed kills rhr and hrv. If I eat well clear of 3hrs prior to sleep my hrv skyrockets to 120ms. Peaks at about 150ms a night
  9. This is why you should read through the additional facts so that you can see in light of all the facts which hypothesis is more probable. But also, you can disagree with the cult label and the operating definition and still descriptively recognize the bad behavior and the manipulative tactics. I provided a bunch of links in my post there, you can read through all the relevant links and the relevant threads in detail and you can get to you own conclusion.
  10. That still doesnt answer my question. Notice that you deliberately dodged directly giving an answer to my question multiple times now. (again this raises the probability of you being a dishonest and bad faith actor under my radar once again).
  11. @Rigel you could flip this (to play devils advocate) and claim no one has been kicked out / banned for accusations precisely BECAUSE it would cement the claim of this being a cult.
  12. Would a cult leader allow half his mods to accuse him of running a cult out in public for a month straight? It seems to me that a cult leader would want to snuff out that stuff in the bud. You guys acting like him saying this isn’t a cult is some kind of mind manipulation tactic rather than the normal response of anyone called out for running a cult when they are not.
  13. A psychiatrist's office would be a different setting, wouldn't it ? Is Carl a psychiatrist ? Plus that means that most of us here are potentially psychotic, if we have had suicidal moments. A psychiatrist would think that an awake person is crazy to begin with.
  14. Self aware implies two. A knower and the known. So if both are equally real, how would the concept “real” be known to have any significant meaning if there’s nothing else it’s distinct from? What would the word “REAL” even mean, so to speak?

  15. The Word “Belief” Is Problematic

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

    Great topic. In the past I have partially dismissed belief as a concern due to seeing it purely through the lens of mechanical emergence that altered with perception. In retrospect, despite this having truth about this, it was the incorrect appraisal, or belief, about belief. I have, interestingly, as I didnt imagine spending my evening this way for nearly the last hour, arrived at a new perception, that to me seems to hold greater weight than previous estimations. Feel free to be entertained as follows. A belief is a co-observed meaning-pattern. Our condciousness shapes that perception in real time, then experiences itself and the objectified, so the belief, through it. I arrived at this, what for me was a breakthrough at the time, now about 15 minutes ago, by registering the co-interaction between a belief, or the assigned meaning pattern that comprises that space we call a belief that holds a perception, and our consciousness. The co-observation is not in the belief perceiving direct consciousness in return in some way, although my mind did arrive at the double slit experiment momentarily for this connection, its in the observation of the observation of holding the pattern of meaning we call a belief itself in real time. For me this built emotional closure with respect to how I used to previously conceive of beliefs, because I was in part right, while st the same time, it revealed to me that even though yes, belief formation has a multidimensional structure that arises emergency, in hindsight it was a little bit of a cheap way to characterise something that captures so much of our collective imagination on how we think, feel about and navigate our personal lives and our views about it. So I still have some phenomenological work to do to fully integrate this new perspectivesed appraisal because you have to work with your awareness a bit to fully grasp you cant just read a definition and immediately understand if you haven't understood it this way before, but that seems like an adequate new cementation I am to go with from now on. Belief is a pattern of meaning. A pattern of meaning occurs through observation of the seeking, the path found through the seeking, and the answers arising through that pattern of action. This pattern of action can be described as a behaviour of co-observation. That is the gestalt right now, where the behaviour of meta-aware objectification is like the place-holder of that. Degrees of meta-consciousness on a belief to me kind of seems like a good way to peg the pendulum between healthy co-observation of the process that forms a belief versus say, extreme absolutism, and somewhere in the middle that described the neutrality of being that allows experience to arise and fall as it suits itself. Co-observation has some assumptions that at first glance may seem hidden, but the extra observation is a part of the organic recognition, acknowledgement and act of identifying perceptions, which give a belief, the heart of its meaning. I am open minded regarding other ideas shared here, I will integrate further perspectives privately. Thank you.
  16. Let's setup a health-tracking challenge of the Actualized forum then
  17. Yes, I use a garmin watch as fitness tracker — mostly HRV, RHR, stress levels, and during-workout time and HR. Wbu?
  18. Leo is a far-right politician. My dog is a far-right politician.
  19. You can put anything and everything behind such a label.
  20. @Schizophonia I come with receipts for all my Bryan claims, at your service :
  21. I dont know, but I still dont know whats your direct anwer to this question:
  22. Anthropic used a lot of scare tactics marketing but that has nothing to do with the real application for ai. There's a growing need for ai from corporate and government, more demand than supply can handle. I found this interview with Mystral (a French AI company) CEO quite interesting. Basically all he talks about are enterprise and government use cases which is Mystrals core customer base, not consumers or hype . I think this news is bad for anthropic . Europe is already busy to reduce their dependency on US big tech and these things only accelerate that.
  23. A far-right politician.
  24. Has Leo been evaluated by a psychiatrist who said he had psychotic tendencies ?
  25. Interesting takes on the Mythos ban, the reasons behind it and he predicts it will be back online within a few weeks.
  26. Lol I didn’t know I did that
