  1. Past hour
  2. @Emotionalmosquito Nice dude!!! It’s normal to be nervous, try not to overthink, don’t go in with an agenda, don’t go in with expectations. Vibe with her and have fun. Regardless of what happens, this is personal development and more experience, so enjoy that feeling. If there is flirty energy then you can invite her back to yours, some girls are down, some aren’t. Just don’t be too pushy about it, and try to slide it into the convo smoothly rather than just directly inviting her to yours. Good luck!!
  3. It is
  4. Perfect time to meditate yourself to enlightenment, No?
  5. How do you know this? Can anything be known? So talking about knowing\not knowing is useless? Why do epistemology? I think Leo would claim that consciousness can know itself fully.
  6. I need evidence
  7. Knowing is a concept, its part of the ideas circle. Ideas are objects and knowing is how many object you collect. Image a room full of objects, each one is an abstract "idea". Math is mapping physics, but that map is knowledge and it exists only in the ideas layer
  8. @Sincerity Thanks a ton Sincerity! Eyy That’s nice of you! You’re also welcome to stay at my place if you ever visit Copenhagen, Denmark! 🇩🇰🤗

    It's your responsibility to pay attention how words are being used. Conforming to rules to communicate differs from conforming for social acceptance or falling into groupthink. We have used "conformity" primarily to denote the latter.

  12. Today
  13. @Xonas Pitfall Thanks you Xonas!
  14. Meta-awareness is the ability to self-reflect on experience. This happens around 3 years old in humans. You'll notice that this is often where your first memories are from. It's the first time you have gathered a coherent sense of locus of autobiographical memory that you can start to self-reflect on it (i.e. recall it and say to yourself "this is indeed this thing" implicitly). Sentience seems to arise before reflecting on it. You didn't start feeling your ass only when you focused on it and said "I'm indeed experiencing sitting on my ass right now". You just focused on it and re-represented it. Meta-awareness is a re-representing of contents in sentience. And the core of sentience seems to be about representing the boundaries of our bodily vehicle. We may extrapolate the primacy of sentience of our experience as illustrated above evolutionarily, in that we evolutionarily started to feel things before re-representing them. And where do we draw that "boundary"? Perhaps at the existence of bodily boundaries. And if you look at the evolution (and ontogenesis) of multicellular life, it all starts at a single cell dividing. So where does the boundary of inside vs outside start to be defined? Perhaps the boundary of the cell membrane. And as the organism grows into a multicelluar one, perhaps at the bodily boundaries of that organism. Because the cells grow out from each other and work together in a coordinated organic fashion. And they all act to maintain the same bodily boundary. In fact, it might even be more accurate to think of it as a single cell differentiating itself "inwards", rather than multiple cells growing outwards. You can even see this visually when a cell is diving in an animal embryo. Although it becomes murky for some earlier forms of multicellular life where the cooperation between cells is less coordinated. Also some colony lifeforms, e.g. slime molds, fuse individual cells (dissolving the cell membrane and keeping the nuclei) into a single big cell and operate in a coordinate unit. You could imagine that the individual selves dissolved/sacrificed themselves and became a part of a larger whole.
  15. @YIDIRYIDIR I’m happy to hear that🤗

    How did I misconstruct what you said? I think you just didn't like what I said and so you called it a misconstruction.
  17. It seem like games been trending in that direction and the AI slop phase is the terminal phase of that corporate soulless dogy dog world Tho I feel like so much passion was poured into skytim tho , and games overall start losing the soul bit by bit That is why I disagree with you about a skyrim being dummer I think people love passionate project Skyrim combine big production scale with maybe some soul and passionate
  18. Fascinating
  19. The Course says thoughts are existence. There is no tree, no thee, no me. Does the tree exist? No it's an absolute hallucination. And more scarily same for me. So what to do? Correct the thought that there is a you separate from me and a me separate from you. Thoughts are generated to keep one stuck here. Watch them, drop them, Thoughts will never throw in the towel and quit. That is okay since they no longer have my endorsement and identification. When they arise anew, they have less and less power. Abiding in this open state makes one available to the all in all. For me life is now completely benign no matter what is happening around me. I bear no ill will nor see anything in a bad light. I am happy to die like this, either today or 50 years later.
  20. @integral Loads of games today still have amazing & iconic music.
  21. Is it possible to visualize that in a video?
  22. About what? You need to be specific.
  23. The distance between one moment to the next is infinite.
  24. My God it's hell.
  25. Plenty of time to focus on God realization I guess.
  26. Yeah, I think I would get claustrophobic. And no sense of nature, just those cold walls, fuck.
  27. Oh stop it. You can have heaven taken away from you any moment. And you don't know how other people live their lives. And comparing yourself means your state is not that high. The baseline change does not need to be linear, that could just mean you've not experienced much in life. Insecure narcissism pervades the mind that compares and asks for confirmation. Spirituality is but another cloak for its misfortunes.
