  2. Interesting, maybe its one of those optical illusions which reveal our unique perceptions. I know its just a drawing, but she reminds me a bit of some of those crazy women out there that all look the same nowadays, especially the fake teeth/lips and eyes. Thanks for sharing your perspective tho.
  3. Agree, but this doesn't mean that it's a false idea. Conceptual ideas are not false by definition; they are relational structures that point to realities. Can be accurate or not. Yes, because there is duality. Duality is the way in which reality manifests itself in a human being, or any living organism Dream characters imply an absolute center of reality: you, the dreamer. That is an absolute limit and is impossible. What you see is not a dream; it is the representation or perception of something real. It's absolutely real. There is not dream, just the reality

  5. @NewKidOnTheBlock Thanks a lot for the replies and for adding nuance! Also, I really appreciate your open mind. Meeting such radical ideas with skepticism is only healthy. My goal is not that you blindly accept everything I say. My goal is that you become more skeptical, actually. I want you to be skeptical of the fact that you are more skeptical of communism than of the status quo (and well implemented social democracy). Here is my new post:
  6. I am planning to do posts on Marxism-Leninism (ML) on this forum. In order to engage with this topic and not dismiss it as dogmatic Marxist ramblings, I need you to enter the state of not knowing and be open to radical claims that will shatter your current worldview if you accept them. Forget everything you think you know about communism. (most of it is likely wrong anyway) I currently identify more with Actualized.org teachings than with Marxist teachings. I would say that I spent about 20-30 times more time on Actualized.org and adjacent teachings than on Marxist teachings. Therefore, don't have much of an egoic motive to propagate Marxism. But this also means I'm not an expert. I encourage you to seek resources from Marxists who are more educated on the topic. ## What is Marxism-Leninism? In Very short, ML are people who (not uncritically) defend, want to tie on and draw inspiration from earlier historic and current implementations of ML to lead revolutions in Their respective countries. Before going into any more detail, I want to address those concerns I predict to be put forward in this community and construct a very brief defense for each of them here. Ideally, I will go into more detail in future posts/replies. ## "ML neither promotes spirituality nor life purpose" Wrong. ML provides a practical and actionable approach for enabling the conditions for large scale development with historical data to learn from and a methodology for historical analysis. ## "ML is dogmatic, ML is stage blue" Wrong. Real ML intellectuals are high-level, low-bias thinkers. Marxism is inherently self-critical. Nationalism, conformity and pseudo-religious iconography are deliberately used to enhance mass scale effectiveness in order to replace existing oppressive structures. ## "ML has never worked in practice! Socialism is a skunk! Also, dictators and authoritarianism and totalitarianism!" Wrong. The reason you think this is because of western propaganda. Extreme actions and poverty in communist led states are and were pretty much always a direct reaction/result of the struggle against the bourgeoisie and the century old American war against communism, and not a result of inherent flaws in communist thought or practice. ## "ML does not take human nature and survival into account!" Wrong. Human survival and the material conditions are the main focus of all Marxist thought and the starting point of all its implementations. ## "But free speech and democracy and protesting!" Wrong. The reason you think you need those (rather than free housing, free healthcare, job security, etc.) is because in a free market democracy, the state acts primarily in the interest of the capital and the profits, not in that of the people, no matter who is voted to rule. If the will of the people is raised above the will of the capital, the only people who complain are the rich and their allies. This results in communist led countries actually often being more democratic than capitalist democracies. Did you know that China is holding votes on representatives? Why not? Has someone perhaps withheld this information from you? ## "ML is materialism and scientism and atheism and stage orange" Correct. However, Marxism does not claim it or its implementations are free of contradictions. The claim is that a state of societal development which is free of class struggle has to be entered first, in order to sustainably move humanity to stages with even less contradictions (like stage green societies). In my opinion, ideally, ML is implemented by tier 2 thinkers, which is why it is so important to me to talk about this on this forum. The idea that conscious politics can effectively be implemented (through reform) without forcefully ending the class struggle first might be the biggest delusion regarding politics present in this community and in the western world. All progress is always eventually reversed by the bourgeoisie. This is historical fact and is exemplified by the rise of the right all over the world. Capitalism will soon hit a brick wall. When that time comes, will you side with the revolution, or will you be too paralyzed by fear of your skewed fabricated view of communism? Will you allow the current corrupt system to be perpetuated, or in the worst case allow fascism to rise again?
  7. Very good, love the music <3
  8. Interesting, She looks happy to me. I don't see it the same way you do.
  9. Yes and No / Both and None
  10. And what if the peepee is small?
  11. This lady is scary, she looks like a parasite who wants to eat my soul with that evil smile (: Did you make this? I was quite disappointed with myself when i discovered I had tricked myself for years into believing 11 was my favorite number when it was all spiritual ego... and I had abandoned my dear 9 who was there all alone right by my side. I was not happy that my numerology didn't add up to 11 or 33 the so called "master numbers" but simply 9. Then one day I remembered myself as a child and saw through those eyes again, and that I always loved the color red, and the number nine... It was like a reunion with self, me and my friend red and nine
  12. Today
  13. Interesting, please do so! I use brain.fm music, it's quite a leap of music technology.
  14. @LambdaDelta Let's see how it goes. Wishing you the best and report any interesting benefits and drawbacks
  15. How do you know that is true? It is true, but have you realised it? If so, how holistically? When and how was that Awakening / God-Realisation for you? Please explain
  16. It is both the screen and the appearance The screen is the trascendental unchanging reality The manifestation is the immanent ever changing dream Consciousness is both and one cannot exist without the other, it's a cocreation The transcendental Reality (Brahman Consciousness) needs to be in one state or the other (manifestation, dream or universe). In the same way, the manifestation of appearances necessitates to 'exist' and it's this existence which is necessarily trascendental. So you can have an Awakening only into appearances, you can have an Awakening in to the trascendental screen, you can have an Awakening of both at the same time and finally both are Realised as the some One Ultimate Reality. Consciousness is Infinity Let me phrase it like this Imagine you have One Seed, the Original and Primordial Seed of Reality. Then it grows like a egg and hatches in and overflowing strange loop movement, from which a million flowers sprung and blossom reaping a trillion more seeds, that are both identical to the original and completely unique, like a chamber of mirrors replicating itself ad infinitum. This is true That is so with the Immanent/manifestation Awakening, but not so with the Trascendental Awakening. You may fragment Reality or Consciousness ad Infinitum but it's still existence/consciousness/reality, that's the unifying Trascendental Brahman throughout all Infinity, it's the eternal now-experience that metamorphs at every breath. Both have to be realised independently, Combined and as One. Oh yes, that's true and in fact our conversation is going clearly much beyond that as well. That Awakening is basic and fundamental for the rest of the path to unfold, it's like a checkpoint.

  17. Please answer this Poll

    A lot of neurodivergency is self diagnosed even if you got the official diagnosis, because psychologist have to trust you that you have enough self awareness and honesty to describe certain symptoms correctly, and vice versa you have to trust that psychologist has enough knowledge in the field, experience and awareness to gauge whether those symptoms are correctly described and whether you are being self aware enough; if you are only mildly neurodivergent then you are pretty much always situated on the boundary of self diagnosis
  18. Lol... There is no shortage of entertainment after trump took over. Beats the tv soap operas anytime. I wonder what the european leaders have to say to Rutte's remark that Europe deserves to pay as they should in a big way, and his compliments of Trump. Both Macron and Rutte has been subject to global humiliation over an alliance that should not have existed after the cold war.
  19. Yes they have their use, but IMO are very often understood and used in a way a) where the tool becomes the goal b) it's "wrongly" used. Use a knife to cut your food, not to cut your toenails You remember the thread about "universal mind"? Categories re people lose a lot of their relevance once the fluidity of the mind and the mask of personality becomes more transparent
  20. @Butters For sure man. Wishing you success 🙏 Day 8 Following something_else' advice I have moved to a not party hostel. This is exactly what I needed. Party hostels I will return to once I have regained some stability. I'm so grateful for my friends and family back home. They are so loving, so accepting, wise and honest and funny and thoughtful. Some quotes from Conversations with God that keep swirling in mind: reaction vs creation - the only difference is the c, so reaction from past experience can become creation of new experience when you c (see) clearly I'm trying to be present and look around around, so I can see these social situations for what they really are. If I can really see them as they are, Vs what my conditioned mind projects onto them, I can move past fear and choose a new way of acting. If you don't go within, you go without There's a difference between what is Natural and what is Normal. Normal is just something commonly done. Natural is what you are when you're not trying to be normal. I tell you this: nothing is more natural than love
  21. I am heavily vibe-oriented, but I also love theory too, and not even. It just depends. I'm weirder than neurodivergence it seems.
  23. Pepsi, pizza, and some alcohol.

    Frank said to dissolve the ego it's probably best to so both contraction and expansion - concentration practice and non-doing - and that's sooo true - that is the fastest way - you hit it from both directions. Just doing one can be so ineficcient, there's drawbacks to both techniques and if you so both you eliminate them and keep the positive of both.
  25. You can still be yourself while you are showcasing your dick and balls". That is actually an integral part of it. If you don't have the balls you shouldn't do it because it won't work.

  26. Why quit weed?

  27. @theleelajoker To be clear I'm not shitting on concepts/ideas/labels or thought. They have their use and they are absolutely an asset. But we if are talking spiritual process, freeing, acceptance, integration, ending unnessecary suffering and awakening - as you start to dissolve conditioning we see how these things act to fuck everything up. So you learn exactly when to throw them away, and when you use them. It also becomes very clear when others are using them to identify with ego, centralising experience. Rather than dissolving the subject / object relationship we have and being within experience in a nonlocal, free way. No judgement. Only discernment. It's like seeing the clouds and saying 'those are MY clouds, MY sky' 'MY ideas, MY thoughts' Not sure if this resonates with you? I think you understand this part of the path ❤️
