  1. Past hour
  2. There is another step to this. Things do not exist the way they appear to. Everything you can point to is activity pretending to be a thing. A self is activity. A thought is activity. Fear is activity. Personality is activity. A relationship is activity. A nation is activity. Even the body is activity. They look stable only because the process is continuous. A flame looks like an object but it is burning. A whirlpool looks like a thing but it is flowing. The self looks permanent but it is being continuously recreated every moment through mental activity. This is why the mind is exhausting. The mind is doing. Constantly: - maintaining, - comparing, - remembering, - anticipating, - defending, - justifying, - correcting, - becoming. The self is not something that exists. The self is something that is being done. And this is why it feels unstable under observation. Because when the activity weakens, the thing weakens with it. People usually think they are afraid of losing something they have. In reality, they are afraid that the activity maintaining the character will fail. They are afraid of dissolution. This is why silence feels so strange. Without constant mental movement, the character starts disappearing. The mind immediately starts doing again: - thinking, - fantasizing, - worrying, - remembering, - planning. Anything to keep the structure going. And this is where the deepest confusion happens. People think that "being" means existing as a thing. But all things are unstable. All things are temporary. All things require maintenance. In that sense, all things are existentially false. They appear self-existing but they are not. They are processes. Meanwhile nothingness, emptiness, the not-a-thing all things appear within, does not need maintenance. It does not continue itself. It does not defend itself. It does not become. It does not resist dissolution. Because dissolution itself happens within it. This is why "nothing" cannot disappear. It is not a thing among things. It is the openness all things happen within. Mind is movement away from this. Mind is doing. Mind is becoming. Awareness itself is already still before the mind starts moving. This is why no achievement finally satisfies the self. The self is made out of continuation. It survives by moving toward the next thing. The moment one story finishes, another one starts immediately. The self is a machine that turns being into becoming. Most people are never at rest because they are continuously recreating themselves through mental activity. They think this activity is what they are. But you can observe it directly. Sit still and watch. The mind starts doing.
  3. the problem is , many average guys starts to sell their course. so its hard to figure out which is gold , which is not. its hard to figure out which is the real deal
  4. no . it is not enough . it is good . but not enough. at some point , you will have to talk a lot . but if you dont have the ability to continue the conversation , you are helpless. you can become intrested in the other person , be a good listener , encourge the other person to talk about themself . but at some you gotta continue the conversation and talk on your own.. which i struggle besides that , i am a lonely man. that book alone has not solved anything. i need to practice other systems
  5. i practiced "how to make people like you " section for a long time. it has gotten into my muscle memmory. i can do it without effort. its who i am. i become that but that has not gotten me anywhere. i am super lonely. all of my male friends see me as a liability and wont pickup my phone. it wont even work on my male friends need to practice other systems
  6. I don't see that many signs of this site being a cult (although there definitely are some to be wary of), but I definitely see many cultists in here; namely wookies (spiritual woo woo enthusiasts), wokies, socwokies and some occasional socialists. I've also seen one socwookie in the wild (give people free stuff because of woo woo)
  7. @Ulax yeah. thanks
  8. @Rishabh R lucky guy ok thanks for sharing
  9. It can turn people violent. His content isn't without risk. One can compare him to right hooligans and think it's not a big deal but violence from the left is still violence. His content is more aligned with violent radical left and he probably should be deplatformed. Freedom of speech comes with consequences.
  10. @Leo GuraBut is physical death the same as complete surrender? Will you still have some ego left after dying?
  11. I've checked it out it actually seems super cute. Not my aestetic though. However verrry neurodivergent
  12. Classic example of self-bias.
  13. If you surrendered to it entirely you'd be dead.
  14. It’s a subjective opinion. What’s better? What’s worse? 1: To have never been born. Or 2: To be conscious of sensation. Is there even a choice? Is there any consent? It both horrific and magnificent.
  15. What about appreciating to time that you breathe while dying? Remember what You are, actually never forget. From nothing, there is a body, even suffering is a gift.

  21. The only bad thing about Hassan is that makes content for people who are already radicalized. He had the chance to radicalize me early and failed. Still a bit mad about it

  24. Kids and their crazy cults these days
  25. From source to source an endless formless death gives birth to form… The sperm and egg meet where both transform and dissolve into the emergence of a baby, the baby dies as the child emerges, the child dies as the teenager emerges, the teenage dies as the youth emerges, the youth dies as the elderly emerges, the elderly dies returning to source from death to death an endless spring. A meeting with death. It’s all death meeting with itself. . As Meat in-form-mation . Meeting / Mating isTwo becoming One.

  27. Is it possible to completely surrender to infinity or is it always partial? That you keep surrendering but you never reach the whole? And because it's being partial, you will always move to a new incarnation?
