Flaky in love as they are in life.

I think doubt is a good driving force in moderate amounts to fuel curiosity and investigative inspiration. Though it is certainly not always comfortable. Doubt, confusion & the like are common to me and I find them to be honest portrayals to the human minds capacities for attempts at holding onto the divine.

How lost does consciousness get within itself?

What possible degrees of consciousness exist?

Is it good to remain open to the possibility of self deception, and deception via external forces? Is delusion the prominent factor at play in the human mind? Why does it seem distraction of all variety is an onslaught of endless power? Is an individual as an ant in a colony?

4 weeks is nothing. Give it at least a year, ideally 3-4 years, before you can say you have "kicked it". The work is very likely not over (although it could be). And by work, I don't mean that you will necessarily start smoking again, but you will probably run into the idea many times.

Consciousness is not limited to the constraints of human understanding. Consciousness can go outside of the realm which the human mind possesses the capability to understand. Things can be understood that cannot be put into words. Knowledge is just one working facet of understanding. Misunderstanding is blind to itself. Understanding comes in orders & degrees. There are magnitudes to understanding. Human degrees of understanding are extremely narrow & limiting. Although perhaps relatively expansive in comparison to that of an insects understanding.

This is important.

Don't you dare slander Godd Howard like that.

A good heuristic for a business is take something you use every day (e.g. an app, a service, a software, a tool) and find a way to improve it or simply make your own little spin on it. When you do that, 1. you have knowledge about that thing and you know the standards you yourself would expect, 2. you know that it's a product people will use (by virtue of you and others already using it). If it's a simple thing like a simple app (or even something not quite so simple), you can easily create this with ChatGPT. Ask ChatGPT how to go about creating the app or service (and use ChatGPT to do things like coding, etc.). The thing here is to work with ChatGPT recursively, don't let it make something all in one go and then proceed to marketing it. Tinker and improve it until it's really up to your standards. The only thing you really need then is get eyes on the product, and this is only a question of scale and starting capital if you do this with Meta ads and a graphics design app like Canva and you have more than average skills in that domain (which can be trained). I did this quite successfully while recruiting research participants for my university studies. As for concrete examples, I'm planning to do this with a brain training app I use every other day (I want to make a simple and straight-to-the-point version that recreates everything I use every day and only that, and I know people will use it because I know I use it and others use it that way). It's also a funny example, but Jan Esmann the spiritual teacher who was a painter was using Photoshop and figured there was a plugin he could need but it didn't exist, so he bought a book on C++ and taught himself how to code and created that plugin, and then he licensed it and thus he created a software company and that became his main source of income.

What is misunderstanding? Can I misunderstand logic? we know that 1+1 =2; but what if we are just really dumb and its not really 2. Is that possible? @Leo Gura
-
Does the mind operate on different levels? What could the mind do below conscious levels? How much could conscious awareness be limited by retaining hold onto identity?
-
Does it seem understanding comes in degrees & degrees of refinement? Not necessarily a straightforward thing that can be easily assumed to be understood? What are the possible misconceptions of understanding that can be held? What are the nuances of understanding? What are the tricks & traps of understanding?
-
In order to be understood, understanding must come to understand itself. Without any understanding, there is not even a basis for psychological stability.

Is catching glimpse of insight a natural ability of consciousness?

Even if all the claims and thesis of the host are true, it wouldn't have nothing to do with islam, or the existence of God. it's just running in circles. so what if if God is necessary and not contingent? so what if it is coherent? and the method he told you to find Allah, by simply setting there and asking him to guide you, is just there's so much wrong with it. and the guy who gave you the food example is hilarious lol, he pissed me off with his completely unrelated analogy that's offensive and biased as fuck. anyway, logic will never lead to being religious, that's why the whole time y'all agreed to disagree, especially with the mental gymnastics that host is doing. belief is what leads to religion (or indoctrination). -

@Vladimir You've understood it perfectly. I completely identify with your initial post; I've been through that fun process of being in hell. The difference is contraction versus openness. You usually enter a contracted state out of fear: abuse in the family, rejection, hostile environments, lack of love at a crucial moment. You unconsciously shut down as a form of protection, and this leads you straight to hell: OCD, isolation, addiction, and self-hatred. The positive thing is that you realize it (if you don't end up addicted to fentanyl, of course) and begin the process of opening up, and in that process, you realize that total openness is enlightenment: the total absence of contraction. Then the real work is identifying any contraction and open it, until your reality is open, unlimited. Then you are one with the unlimited, you are exactly that. -
Consciousness of the importance of our body & brain + the undertaking to best nurture it is relevant to this work.

@integration journey Do you have a link for that?

Good point, but this doesn't mean that what appears in your pow is your creation and has not reality out of you as perceiver. This seem bit egomaniac don't you think? -

Yeah, that's why making games is so hard. You either fail by being too impractical, or you are too practical and you become Todd Howard.

Like others have said, most courses are BS scams by marketers. Tell us about this course so we can make a better judgement.

Would it be valid to claim that reality cannot be fully understood without having access to conscious states outside of our regular waking?
