God, you can just feel the hurt in his statement. -

You're really quite obsessed with me! -
"Function, meaning, form" is the mind virus that yous gotta get on, by which i mean, package it up in whatever way / gift / present, that you want, spin it like a song stuck in your head, and then we'll come back when thats sunken in. Dont let go, just keep spinning / invoking it in the awareness of thoughts and such, and figure out where that it best fits, in the lypsis of transients, or directed towards the transients. I mean its only as difficult as yous want to make it, as we can literally just say "what a thing is" like this post "A = Cow shit".. That is also a form of dialectic language. Yous just stopped responding. If yous are bored then we'll stop. -
Run clubs?

@Breakingthewall the best is that you read his book and contemplate it with AI. That is the only way to understand him. Because AI will correct you. Traditional contemplation without AI doesn’t work. Or you have to hire Ralston to contemplate with him together and he will correct you. But most people don’t have the cognitive skills to auto correct.

Let's analyze your emoticons. what they mean? Your feeling of happiness by feeling (wrongly) superior? -

Who understands him? He's contradictory from the videos I watched. Then, how could you dissolve the self according to Ralston? According to him You suffer because you are identifícate with an idea of yourself that you create by social interaction, and that's an illusion. Where is the difference with traditional Buddhism, Eckhart Tolle or many others? Imo the mistake is that the conceptual idea of yourself in the social interaction is real. It's genetically uncoded and it's the drive that build societies, empires, civilization. It's not the same than direct pain of the body but it's real in its level. You can die due those ideas. -
Alan Watts' videos are helping me so much atm. He said something along the lines of, "From now on, treat everything you do as play." Im his videov⁵ This 23 min video of his bodies the fuck outta Leo's multi hour long videos on similar issues: "How to Fall In Love with Life," or his motivational speeches -- not just in length but in effectiveness too. Leo loves to overtalk and "beats a dead horse," when he talks about things. Alan is very fun, intriguing, and somewhat concise relative to our boys style. No diss to Leo, but Alan prolly got more 🐱🐱🐱🐱 than him -- not just quantity, but also quality -- like stacked latinas or barbie looking blonde (not some wierd alt lady)--just from the way they talk.

@Hojo If what you want is for it to be called science, then call it science, but dont get stuck on what its called, As we are gonna be here too long on the label of a word that doesnt matter, as opposed to how that label is suppose to function, for its function, meaning and form that we want... the transient stuff thats gonna get us somewhere. The labels within that are whats gonna be extra important, and THOSE labels we have to agree upon or else neither direction will it make it appear as science or sensible reality. We cant remain stagnant forever.

What is "more" compared to science, than philsophy? And, what is the difference between science and philosophy, do you not observe things when you do philosophy? Philosophy is a very broad subject matter that itself includes scientific realms and observation. You are doing philosophy right now. We should have gotten well past what constitutes it, or we will be here a long time.

If I had a cult Id probably do it.

@kavaris This is more compared to science than philosophy. Its like saying when you buy someone a present they will be happy. Where is the philosophy in that? Its a scientific repeatable observation of how humans work. -
I doubt Natasha understands anything about Ralston. She is doing her best though.
-
Is that a question? wat is that.
-
@kavaris hey yous yous guys
-
It sounds like your doing philosophy to me, just acting arogant in the process.
-
I'm curious about the smartest things I've heard you say.
-
That's typical 'green' evolution, good for him.

This is so stupid, I'm ashamed to respond to this. -
I'm noticing that manipulation of language seems to be the highest level trick.

I just think it’s sorta performative and tryhard. Seems sorta a trendy thing people do to try and get famous on Instagram. I don’t have an argument against doing it.

This will be some nice fuel for the online discourse surrounding the age old "separating the art from the artist" discussion 😈

The real parasite is an uneducated and undeveloped mind that makes you give heavy weight to alternative medicine and faulty reasoning. Mastery of mind and spiritual flow will lead to better decisions on health than any of this nonsense. You have to first learn the basics and then heavily observe and cultivate such a deep understanding until eventually any unnecessary efforts and ignorance gives way to a deep intuitive wisdom on the topic. We have limited time on this earth and it’s literally impossible to become a master of everything in life so we have to cultivate a higher wisdom where we can delegate some decision making to specialists in certain fields and trust in our higher level macro decision making. These alt medicine guys are reality’s equivalent of when a redneck tries to build a rocket ship in his backyard. You get a very zainy strange expression of intelligence that is able to form half of an idea but the fundamentals and deep, mature knowledge isn’t present so you enter into very dangerous territory. We have the same going on with gymcels peddling peptides and steroids. New age healers and peptide gymcels, same thing different clothes. The real kicker a lot of people don’t like to admit (including me because it touches on a deep yearning to be safe as a human). Nothing is certain and sometimes your health is just not great and it’s more-so a matter of acceptance. Some people are born with weak immune system compared to the environment they live in. Some people get diseases they just weren’t meant to overcome and some people are meant to leave this life before we wish they do. That’s sad and a real exercise in acceptance and flow. You can try everything and sometimes it won’t lead to the outcome we wish. Maybe the technology isn’t there yet, maybe it’s something else we don’t have words or a proper understanding of. Making peace with this unknown at least brings energy back to making those higher macro decisions which I mentioned previously.

There is a village in southern India where this festival takes place once a year among the farming community. The idea behind is to get rid of revulsion towards cow dung as it is a natural fertilizer of the farmer and part of organic farming. Most of the farming community is affluent, and usually arrogance and false pride comes with affluence . So this ritual is a way of grounding the youth in the traditional ways of the farmer. As a ten year old, I remember my own revulsion to taking cow dung with my hands while trying to help my grandmother who was tending her garden. Eventually after some time, I willed myself to overcome my aversion and take up the cow dung and transplant it to the plants in the garden. Cow dung is an important element of organic farming and is harmless and natural. Chemical fertilizers have been linked to higher rates of cancer and carcinogenic particles, neurotoxicity and so on. It is also a major pollutant of groundwater. https://www.kiripost.com/stories/overuse-of-chemical-fertilisers-linked-to-dangerous-nitrate-levels-in-food https://www.thenewlede.org/2023/09/nitrate-contaminated-water-may-drive-corn-belt-cancers/ https://news.climate.columbia.edu/2019/10/22/organic-food-better-environment/ Use of chemical pesticides have also been linked to tangible higher rates of cancer and dementia in many developed nations. https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/another-3-common-pesticides-are-now-linked-to-parkinsons-disease-risk https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0165178124002178 https://www.downtoearth.org.in/environment/pesticides-raise-dementia-risk-32988 Natural bio-pesticides, crop rotation and beneficial insect habitats are used in organic farming instead to combat pests. -
Oppositionless replied to Zeroguy's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
I've been psychotic and there are def some superficial similarities but I'd say when I've been psychotic it's very much the ego being God at the exclusion of others whereas in awakening the ego isn't present at all so it's just God. Also awakening is rly peaceful psychosis is pure chaos, at least for me. To be clear I think psychedelics can do BOTH so I really am cautious with them now and haven't tripped in months.
