Is the truth a state, though? Whenever you talk about infinity, it seems to me you're holding it as a relative thing: insanity, more or less, profound, this and that, abstract, dimension, process, variety. If there's nothing there, what space is there for such things? It's not an infinite room that gets filled with items. Intellectually, it is easy to understand that an absolute is absolute. "Everything is absolute" is how we may formulate that notion in our minds. We could come up with a list of things and qualify them all as absolutes, even though this is unlikely to be how such things actually show up in our experience. What makes them particular and defined, even "formlessness," is that they're, well, particular. They are some "thing". In other words, they are not every thing. At that point, we could say: everything is relative, nothing is relative, everything is absolute, nothing is absolute. How would that help us begin to mentally unpack this topic? Not that it could be done through those means, to be clear. Anyway, I'd stick with the "everything is relative" bit as the common ground for our experience. "Profound" is relative. It is a property that appears in relation to what is not profound. As for form and no-form, I'm not sure what to say - are they not relative, too? It's funny how you immediately brought up nonduality, as if we were contrasting one philosophical system with another. It would be like claiming that a cauliflower (or whatever) is absolute, which may not be particularly accurate. In our experience, we don't even know what the thing is. Nor is it our perception of it. I'm absolutely astonished and relatively excited.

So are you

Those 7000 posts are from a long time ago, I took a 4 year break from here, now I’m back, I’m beginning to regret my decision.

Yeah I guess. Yet I do understand it, but my ego has resorted to other tricks to keep me in the illusion.

Aha, so you still qualify Absolute evil as being imagined by and therefore emanating from the absolute Good. However this brings up strange paradoxes. You qualify the absolute formless God, the ultimate reality, as being Good. Imagination itself, with nothing behind it, the ultimate bedrock of reality that is entirely self subsisting and not imagined or emanating from anything else. Let's call this the Godhead. You call this formless Godhead, Good, without the same qualification as absolute Evil. The qualification absolute Evil had to become Evil, was to be imagined by the Godhead. However the quality of being Good of the Godhead is intrinsic to the Godhead, right? The Godhead isn't imagining Goodness for itself, it already eternally is without qualifications. Couldn't the Godhead now, imagine in the same way as it imagines absolute Evil, imagine an absolute Good that IS qualified by the Godhead? That would be consistent with the Godheads power, since it imagined absolute Evil, it could also imagine absolute Good. Would this second Good, this emanation from the Godhead, be any different from the Godhead (like some sort of "angelic goodness"), or would the Godhead imagine itself again? Would absolute Evil be in opposition to the Godhead (being everything the Godhead isn't somehow), or in opposition to this "second Good"? Surely absolute Evil is proposed by you to be in opposition to some kind of Good, in the same way darkness is the absence of light. But how can anything be in opposition to the Godhead? wouldn't that be non-existence, pure non-being? How can Absolute Infinity have an opposite? Absolute Blue seems less paradoxical, since it's not in opposition to anything. It's just an Infinity chilling within itself.

being some kind of househod manager (or basically a housewife with her own salary) seems very Zen. it seems like i wouldn't have to worry anymore about exams and deadlines, or anything complicated and "important" like that. i'd just live life with the same chores, be creative, love my chores, and feel safe. nothing else to achieve. no pressure. just day to day existence with no long-term objective that i could fail at. without the weight of the world on my shoulders. ... the only caveat is that i don't know where to find permanent employment like that (with a good enough salary). or maybe i should be a nun. that sounds chill, too....basically eliminates all temptations to stress about material identities...but then do the monks and nuns of this world really master detachment, if the only way to cope with all the charge of modern society is to remove themselves from it entirely? ...besides, being a nun isn't really my vibe and i'm not religious. ...simply considered the lifestyle for a bit.

Anyways I think the replies on this posts are very valuable. You all offered me great advices I really appreciate it. However, that was not what I was hoping for, I didn't want the thread to go to this direction " moving out " and "leaving your house". I understand that they are reasonable advices. But as I mentioned above, it currently is not the right move in my opinion and I'm not financially at great ease, the disadvantages outweighs the benefits here. I hoped that there is someone out there who is emotionally intelligent , to tell me how to convert these thoughts, into something that I can work with. Not change my outer world , but my inner world.

That’s how intelligent God is in hiding from itself.

We can think that originality express itself in many degrees and forms. The spectrum of originality is vast.

I cant with your 7400 posts while using that profile picture

Fair enough. I was thinking that being original is different from being different from others - like dressing up differently, having a different appearance. It may not be about novelty either. The etymology of originality is something like "being at the source."

Thanks for your advice. I have made an account on an online platform and paid a good amount to find a job online. I did spend on connects , connects are like coins you can use to apply for jobs. But unfortunately didn't get any job online. I tried.

So you're a dude that lives in your dad's place doesn't contribute financially and complains? You need to meditate more to find peace in your situation because clearly you have no power in it. Or learn to make money online and do whatever the fuck you want.

And yet in reality, (again, tv is not reality.... you obviously can'tcomprehend this(mental illness)) it's you conservatives constantly posting about lgbtq. Your posted video is actually more proof conservatives are obsessed with it, you made a tv show about it..... and not just the tv show, the youtube analysis you're posting is on top of that!!! In a thread made by triggered conservative none the less!!!!!!! Imagine if conservatives quit hating on lgbtq, sincerely, I'm asking you to. What would result? Skim threw all the thread titles, notice the lgbtq ones are ALL by the same conservatives, NONE of which by the way asking to learn about another perspective, but to purely be hateful. I like how retarded your show is right off the bat though, "they them pronouns are third person!" (SO IS "HE SHE", jackasses) Mr.", "Mrs.", "Ms.", "Miss", "Sir," and "Ma'am" "boy", "girl", are titles and forms of address, not personal pronouns The brainrot is real -
How Accutane Damages the Body Brain Damage 21% Reduction in Frontal Lobe Activity A 2005 study published in the American Journal of Psychiatry using PET brain imaging found that four months of Accutane treatment caused a 21% decrease in brain metabolism in the orbitofrontal cortex. This region controls: Decision-making Emotional regulation Sense of reward and pleasure Motivation and drive Personality This is not a temporary chemical imbalance. This is measurable, structural reduction in brain function—comparable to the effects of a chemical lobotomy. Mechanisms of Brain Damage: Direct neurotoxicity: Isotretinoin crosses the blood-brain barrier and induces apoptosis (cell death) in neurons, particularly in the hippocampus and hypothalamus. Suppression of neurogenesis: The drug forces stem cells to differentiate rather than divide, depleting the brain's ability to regenerate neurons. Dopamine pathway disruption: Isotretinoin suppresses aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH), an enzyme critical for dopamine synthesis. This explains the anhedonia (inability to feel pleasure) reported by many patients. Serotonin receptor changes: The drug alters expression of 5-HT1A serotonin receptors, affecting mood regulation and sexual function. Epigenetic modifications: Retinoic acid receptors sit directly on DNA and alter gene expression—changes that can persist long after the drug is stopped. ... Full report @Carl-Richard what do you think of this "chemical lobotomy"

This is the holly grail of corruption in the land of the "heath"care cartel. Scientifically proven to: Full report Brain damage (21% frontal lobe reduction, neurotoxicity mechanisms) Sebaceous gland destruction throughout the body Eye damage (meibomian gland atrophy) Gut mucosa destruction Musculoskeletal damage Sexual dysfunction Psychiatric effects and suicide data Autoimmune triggering PROVEN by science. This comes directly from science yet its still pushed to millions of people every year. The pure corruption keeping this drug in the market is out of this world. Your gut also has sebaceous glands, destroying that is devistating... and they give this to teenagers. Doctors lack basic systemic inteligence.

You also have to post content everyday, that's the bare minimum to understand content production and build your skillset. How many pieces of content have you posted since December 20th when you made this thread?

I'm just practicing not yelling at cisgenders to be honest -
Plenty of ways. Watch Alex Hormozi videos to understand. You have to sell a product or service or sell somebody elses. If you live in a country with a weak currency your best option is arbitrage meaning you will specifically focus on selling stuff to people in the US or other place with high disposable income. Business is incredibly hard but its quite logical and simple.

i've been wanting to give an update this week to reflect on my recent habits and activities, as well as potential links to future career choices. but tbh i've been procrastinating a lot on this, whether i try to write it for the forum journal or just for myself. i guess there's always this huge expectation kicking in to do it perfectly and to highlight all facets.... and then it goes deeper than i feel comfortable reflecting, and it gets complicated when i try to consider all sides of things.... anyway... now i thought i just wanna note the following... for context, i spent the day teaching two online classes and this wasn't really enjoyable for me as students hardly participate. to cool down and get in some daily movement, i went for a ride on my bike while listening to my favourite podcast. now i'm back home baking granola for my parents. basically, the line that popped up again was "i feel like i can do magic when...". i feel like i can do magic when i create beautiful dishes and prepare healthy meals for other people. i had the same phrase on my mind earlier this week when i tidied up my parents' stuff and thought: "look, i can do magic, this looks so much better already". and i'm noting this down not to show off, but because it's such an important indicator for me personally that i should take more seriously: what activities make me feel like i can do magic? and i guess there've been a couple that have been making me feel good - magical - like playing the piano every day...but i don't think i'll become a professional pianist any time soon. with cooking, baking, knowledge about nutrition, and organisation skills i'm not so sure about dismissing them. i wouldn't mind being some kind of household manager - if you signed me up tomorrow that could be my dream life - although i have yet to encounter a job advert like that. ...it's a weird phase to be in these days, to re-think my future job from scratch and go through all of my options. there seem to be a lot more than it thought, and i haven't really decided yet. i could be a fitness instructor, even a personal trainer, a dietitian, counsellor/psychotherapist, cook-book author (don't really see myself as some kind of influencer though...that sounds like a lot of anxiety for me), and on and on. i hope i'll figure this out.

I live with my mother as well. She can't afford me leaving her place, she's very reliant on me emotionally and I respect her and won't do this to her. I live in the middle east it's not always the right solution to move out. You might lose ties with your family entirely not only your father. If I move out then I might lose ties with all my relatives that I highly respect and that some day can help me if I face a problem. And In the country I live in, you. need your relatives to survive, the more social ties you have the easier your life becomes. I can't afford to alienate myself for a small problem, I can literally live with it I have done so for the last 2 years but I think life would be better if I don't get angry at him. Seems to me that the only solution is to move out, I hoped that there was another solution. Till that time to comes when I move out , I want to thank you for your advice. Just to clarify, the only two valid reasons to leave your house in the middle east is that if you are going to get a new house to marry , or if your career situation depends on it for example traveling for studying/working abroad etc.. That is the only way you can move out without losing your ties and relatives because they know you moved out for a valid reason. But if i just tried to rent my own room I face couple of problems My parents will get really upset why did he leave us ? My relatives might alienate from me , Why did he do that ? I might stumble across a roommate that is religious and smells bad , I might get angry at them as well. So can you tell me now how is that problem solved ? I loose a lot of money. Instead of channelling my money to something that is going to help me I waste it when I already pay nothing at the place i'm staying in. My mother cooks for me , so If I leave I will have to pay for cooking , shopping , etc.. all that is extra work. Is that a valid reason to go through this route just because I get angry at my father because he smells bad ? That makes no sense. I can live with it.. It's fine I don't mean autonomy is not important , of course autonomy is important. But living with my parents saves me a lot of bucks and effort , which gives me room to focus on my work. Autonomy is VERY important. But right now I don't have enough money to live fully autonomous. I need some support , I don't get paid a lot.

Yes, but you won't like it. Go up to him, give him a hug and explain to him why you like all his good traits, just as you've done here.

Because it's not proven, arbitrary means on a whim. Believing something(genders) that's not proven(actually proven wrong), is arbitrary. Not believing in something because you haven't been proven that it's true, is not arbitrary, it's called critical thinking actually. The owness to prove something(gender) is on the claimants, otherwise it's an arbitrary belief. Not acknowledging a made up belief(gender), is not arbitrary. If I say a flying sphagetti monster is God, and you say I don't believe that, your claim in your post is the same as saying people that don't believe in the monster are just being arbitrary.
