  2. Love this. 👍 For God to act within you, you must become nothing.
  3. God create everything out of Infinity. God is not coming from something else. Everything else IS Itself! What I know is not coming from a finite, human self. This Yimpa character I am sending this message from is pure imagination. So is the case with every single character on here. Why is God doing anything? Love. There’s nothing else to do but Love.
  4. What you already are, is not for sale, you are always free. As for books, haven’t you ever read a book? How would you know what you are looking at if there was no recorded image of it?

  6. I have seen an image of a cat. Yes, that is conceptually known. However, no real cat is there, only an image of the imageless. Seeing is real, but the seer is never seen, the seen is only known to the seer that is never seen.

  8. You said that you have cats right? You can't see them? Only the word "cat"? Like if you were a computer?
  9. And what differentiate the bible from a work of fiction like game of thrones is imagination. Thus when we imagine a difference, which humans in western culture have done for centuries, it becomes real and true. Because truth and falsehood are one: imagination. By imagining the Bible as an absolute ontological truth, humanity effectively manifested it into reality. It altered laws, built civilizations, and shaped the human psyche. The ultimate irony—the grandest strange loop of all—is that by using our unlimited, divine imagination to create a reality where we are limited and separate from God, we proved just how powerful our imagination actually is. We successfully imagined ourselves into a state of powerlessness.
  10. What is important is that you feel safe, then believe what makes you feel good, that what spirituality is about right? To give hope and sell books
  11. You’re entitled to be wrong.
  12. Wow so amazing explanation. Yeah you convince me, I was wrong, sorry. Charisma is everything. If someone with the juddus look said, it's directly true. James the wise man approved.
  13. There are 3 different perspectives on the reading of the Bible: A literal reading, a metaphorical reading, and my own reading, which comes from the understanding that there is no difference between fiction and reality. Therefore, the story of Adam and Eve is literally true and at the same time a fiction, because fiction and reality are the same thing. This also applies to all the stories in the Bible,because the most fundamental substance of reality is imagination, not atomic particles. In fact, atomic particles are the product of human imagination at a conceptual level, and divine imagination at the physical level. But, once again, the difference between human and divine is a fiction.But then again, fiction is reality, so if we imagine an ontological difference between human beings and God, as there is in the Bible, this becomes reality. Thus, we enter into increasingly fascinating strange loops.
  14. Wrong I
  15. Bit exaggerated right? the name immediately erase the direct perception. You can know the name and also have direct perception, and most of kids have. Krishnamurti says those so impact "truth" that are just false. If you analyze his speech it's full of that. He sounds wise and secure and he says tons on nonsense that sounds profound for some people who are deeply lost. Smart guy. Do you think that Attenborough can't observe directly a bird for example? He knows the names, all the conceptual stuff of birds, and still he can see the nature directly. It doesn't depends about concepts but about defense. the teach of jiddu is wrong in its basis, but anyway, sounds good for some people, that's enough for them.
  16. Lol 😂 JK for president…wait, perhaps not. You can run but you cannot hide.
  17. Meaning emerges when you are willing to risk something for a cause greater than yourself. When things are easy, comfortable, low-stakes, how is that meaningful at all? High stakes, high risks, being able to die for real for something, that is meaningful. Don't you think it is meaningful for a soldier protecting their country? That man is willing to die for something, which drives a tremendous amount of purpose, doesn't mean you need to be a soldier, but courage is so important. Now you don't have to fake being courageous, you can be scared doing it, but doing things that are actually high risk, high stake, but not just degenerate like gambling all you're money, but more about making a statement, being willing to take a stance even when you get backlash, being willing to get you're whole reputation ruined, just to stand for something. That could mean you never get a job again, never get work again, because of the stand you're making. That is one example of high risk. Everything that comes easy in life, everyone already has, but to stand out is to take a risk no one else is willing to take, with the possibility that you could even die following this. Be a soldier for your own purpose, not just someone who takes small risks, but someone who is willing to lose it all. What is the chance for a soldier going to war and dying? Very high. Yet they still go and protect their borders, you have to respect the courage of these men and also realise how little risk you take compared to these men. What have you risked this year? What meaningful thing have you done this year? What were you willing to stand for with your whole life? We cannot be afraid to die, we should be able to live a meaningful life and risk everything for it, not for you, but for others, that is what being selfless at the highest level means.
  18. I agree with you that it definitely makes a difference if you read the original authors and sources or reading secondary sources from Stanford Encyclopedia for example. And reading the the real work has some unique value, which you dont get from the secondary sources. But specifically Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy and Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy gets recommanded by almost all professors of philosophy and is way higher quality than an wikipedia article. Since it is quite impossible to read all the major works of philosophy these places are often the best way to get a good understanding.
  19. I consider myself insanely lucky with the amount of helicopter rides I was on (wildland firefighting), and that one time where I was in a helicopter with an aftermarket part in the rotor blades. That helicopter shook a lot during that ride. Didn't think too much about it other than "man this shit has gotta be off." That same day, another pilot of the same manufacturer brand of helicopters went down. The word I got was that the rotor blades straight up flew off of the helicopter, and he went down, falling out of the sky and killing the pilot. It was literally a situation of us or them for whoever was going to die first. I also almost got hit on the ground by the tail rotor. 1 meter in the wrong direction and I would have been shredded. The pilot was a fool with his landing strategy that day.
  20. Today

  22. I live in the countryside, it’s a bit too far with a bike, it’s a bit more than 1h

  23. What healthy Relationships look like

    @Jirh Transhumanism is beginning... How do you think this will project into the future? Do you think there will be a split between humans who embrace more and more information, and those who reject and opt for more disconnection and more thorough critical thinking? I view the information overload as far surpassing our ability to filter it, leading to beliefs, bias and fallacious logic structures that weaken us as humans. With possibly terrible implications. Others have a much more optimistic outlook. Bit if a sidetrack on the topic, more me rubbing your brainz for juice lol
  24. The confidence to do my own sense making with the humbleness of true scepticism is by far the most valuable thing Leo provided to me.
  25. Accepting assuming a dual and relative incarnation is what Lacan called symbolic castration. Masculine energy stems from the phallic position, that is, the disidentification, the projection, of this so-called castration. For example, if I'm hungry, the feminine reaction (which is also partially present in men; we're always a spectrum) will be to complain, to symbolize the problem, the lack/castration. The masculine reaction (that women have too so) will be to squint and on the contrary to tend to desymbolize hunger; this can be through dissociation like a Buddhist monk, or conversely, through struggle like stealing from people lol or simply by working. The subject of castration is intimate and can take an infinite number of forms, of energy; and therefore there is a potentially infinite number of corresponding phalluses. For example: Your perspective on life (castration) is "I am humiliated, I am nothing in the face of life"; embracing this, loving this so it tends to not be a problem ans so not be symbolized, conscious, will attract women who experience (consciously or unconsciously) this castration. Something, a holon, appears and proposes a problem X : -I become conscious the world is X and I am subject to it; I shift my attention to it, I densify it = feminin position. -I repress the problem of X into the unconscious by attempting to symbolize non-X aka no problem aka Y (to use the chromosome analogy) - In the same way that to see the left I must render the experience of the right unconscious, that to experience cold I must render heat unconscious etc; like any dual experience - = masculin position. The more you intensified this masculine position, the more you will attract women (regardless of interfering third-party beliefs like "I'm ugly," etc.) who share the same subject but will therefore be able to transfer it, to transfer the anxiety onto you so she can in turn suspends awareness of the problem. This is why women might express a desire for someone vulnerable, which seems paradoxical at first glance; it's not that they want someone weak, it's that they want someone who demonstrates the ability to accept their lack, their castration, probably because he is strong enough to bear the consequences Another example: "I'm shy." A shy girl who is self-conscious will appreciate someone who is shy but accepts it, who will bear the social consequences and accept their preference. "In life, you have to work hard." A girl who is conscious of this idea will like someone tough, in a rolled-up white shirt, who votes right-wing (lol) who owns it. Oppression, authenticity, gluttony, sensitivity, fear—It works for any subject.
  27. @Natasha Tori Maru Honestly, that's unacceptable. You should feel safe enough to reply on your own terms at the timing that feels right for you. I think anything or anyone that demands more than that should be reconsidered. You have a life. You have things to do, hobbies to explore, emotions to manage, chores to take care of, etc... Please don't let anyone make you feel like that's too much or secondary to keeping a connection with them. They should respect you enough to let you feel comfortable living your own life. Otherwise, they're bordering on abuse, and that's unacceptable. However, my point was a bit different, even though I agree with you on the benefits of lockdown. I was observing the general pace of development in life. Like there are new things every second nowadays. And you kinda have to keep up with everything if you want to stay relevant. It's tough and exhausting. Life used to be slower and more stable before the AI revolution, and more so before the internet, and more so before TV, etc... It just keeps accelerating in development, and it's hard to keep up with everything. I feel like each of us will eventually be forced into some narrow area of interests that then makes people into different species that can hardly recognize and connect with one another. My point was mainly about identity change. We are approaching post-modern identity, but we barely got used to the modern identity in the first place. It's just too much change in too little time.
