Excellent. Yes, we all have the capacity to recognise this because we are this. Turiya (meaning "the fourth") is the fourth state of consciousness that acts as a pure, silent witness beyond the three everyday states of waking, dreaming, and deep sleep. Sometimes metaphorically called a "fourth-dimensional" or transcendental state of pure awareness, it underlies and pervades all ordinary human experiences. There’s not even any distance between the perceiver and the perceived because distance implies there’s something to attain, something to reach, while this is already closer than your very own skin. Infinity is the Absolute. Here now, everywhere and nowhere. Not a thing and all things. This, just this. One without a second. That which is blind, deaf, dumb, senseless, tasteless, unfeeling….arising/ appearing as sight, hearing, speaking, sensation, flavour, and emotion. -
What is your relationship with ordinariness... and being a regular person amongst regular people? Do you have a resistance to this? Do you feel like you need to be extraordinary in some way to be acceptable? Or do you feel okay with seeing yourself or being seen as ordinary? I'm asking this because resistance to ordinariness is a common barrier to connection... as connection is born out of eye-to-eye non-hierarchical human connection.

@Leo Gura You should share in your blog the quote by Edwin Arthur Burtt where he says ‘The only way to avoid becoming a metaphysician is to say nothing.’

Im diagnosed w/ schizophrenia. Ive been going to mental health appts for roughly 17, 18 or 19 years... As ive had a very long mental health journey / exploration. I dont have ADD / ADHD Also, constant anxiety is related to "anxiety disorders", not ADHD. With ADD, Thats when you are very much like "highly energetic, and cant help yourself" kindve things. You cant concentrate and you have issues since the mind is very curious, etc. Very different category, almost not even 1% related in that bespoke context of having panic attacks, etc. Like when kids are diagnosed w/ ADD, thats not because they have anything about them thats necessarily gone through trauma, or high anxiety situations, or things like this... Likewise, Adult ADHD is the same way, its systemic to "issues around paying attention", not "history w/ anxiety disorder". So you are way off. Like... What? Another thing i have however is nightmares (no its not related to ADD either, not even close). I was bout to make a different thread about nightmares, since i had a bad round of nightmares last night, of which i couldnt wake up from, and i was gettin sniped, like literally shot from a neighbors house, and the bullets were needles... And i was stuck in this like, 100,000 ft (vertically) tall house, but like a barbie doll/polly pocket pull-out house, measured horizontally... And it was in these like, victorian style row homes, which im not even sure thats a thing, but i had to really hide myself, like, from the windows and like.. but even then, they could still snipe through the walls, And then i moved to another house nextdoor, but they eventually figured that out. And this dream went on for wat seemed days, and i kept getting shot w/ these needle bullets. And theres was like multiple snipers (atleast two), as they had no life, Like that was their entire existence, in that dream, to be scouting me, finding me and shooting at me. And it registered as physical pain, in the dream, like getting your face smashed in or something, like i mean, it wasnt a dart gun, it was real gun bullets, in a needle-like shape.

One cannot know the Absolute because one is the Absolute. I’ve always understood that. Yes, this understanding is still a knowing recognised upon awakening to the illusory dream of separation. That’s how I personally interpret the Absolute. And is why the illusion of separation was a necessary intelligence. I personally don’t see a problem using the word illusion. To me, it’s just another word for appearance, which comes and goes. Anyways, thanks for your personal interpretation, if that’s how you see it there, then that’s fine by me, I don’t really have any argument with how others interpret their reality, because we all have opinions, that are true for each of us. The undifferentiated Absolute doesn’t give a shiny shite about human opinions formed by human language anyway, so nothing has changed, there’s only the Absolute, all one, alone. Everything else is just linguistics, aka illusions/ appearances. - Today

And part of it is its simplicity. Like if you start telling a joke to a foreigner and its highly complex going into the parts w/ utilities and A/C, or their lack of, rather, its getting too complex, like imagine you are telling it to world leader(s). So it has to be very much like a single sentence, so that its kindve stupid sounding. Like, even just 'death to america, without anything around it -is probably something that could get N Korea laughing i feel like, like...

Yall are so fucking cool. I thought I was a watch nerd. Keeping it pretty simple with this Casio for everyday use. Considering saving up for something more luxury like a Rolex or Grand Seiko sometime next year.

- is not something only attainable after this life, or in an altered state, but is literally the case right now. This would blow your mind if you truly realized it. Psychedelics just remove some of the limitations your mind has placed on reality, so yes they bring you closer to unlimitedness; but how do you think limits could exist without unlimitedness governing them? It's impossible to explain, but once you see it everything just has this infinite quality to it. I got my clearest awakening in a dream where I basically just slipped out of the matrix into an infinite void - imagine being able to see infinitely far, only you can actually perceive the distance all the way, as if the filter that normally blocks this has been removed. The fact that this one glimpse gave me such a connecting thread for everything I have subsequently experienced is proof alone. What I'm really getting at with this is not only that you can perceive the infinite at all times but that God is epicly good, so good that it breaks the standard human notion. You really would not believe it. You already are the infinite perceiving itself, you just have to be smart enough to not succumb to your own illusions so you can see it more clearly. If you're lost and feel like you can't see it that's just what the infinite is doing at that moment - the situation is that you are swimming around in circles trying to plumb the well of your consciousness in 3 dimensions when it was in 4 the whole time.

In that case how about I give you or any seasoned pickup veterans a list of things I dare them to say “with good energy” ? Let’s put this idea to the test once and for all.

You know, theres gotta be a way to share this w/ ppl as a realized-joke, like an obvious trope, dark humour, that, for example, When Canada wakes up in the morning, whats the first thing they say? "Death to America". When China's world leaders get together in a room / meeting, and when the guy/speaker is pointing to a map, whats the first thing all of the board members agree on? Its "Death to America" When S. American families send their kid(s) off to travel down fecal-matter road to find a nice caucasian wife, they make sure they know, its "Death to America" And when young men from the middle east hear the roosters calling at sunrise, whats the first thought thing on their mind? Its Death to America. Its a joke, but theres some truth to it too of course. Granted its hard to share it beyond this video. Like if it comes outa my mouth it makes zero sense probably. Also, there use to be this trope where like, for e.g., youd have an issue w/ another culture or another place/country or state, but if you shared the right kindve dark humour w/ them they would start laughing and forget about the issue temporarily, as it worked as a way to temporarily disarm two arguing sides or something. I mean it has to be the right person at the right time sayin it right.

Basically, I want to connect to people. I feel so much better when there are people I feel safe with. The absolutely God awful problem is that the only place I can reliably find these people are with support groups. It gets worse. The only support groups that are actually good enough for me are in places like hospital settings and inpatient care for severe depression. The horrible thing is that this is where I feel a sense of belonging with people I can actually relate to and feel safe with. There is actually a routine with which I can predictably see the same people without feeling like I'm in danger. Meanwhile, the other support groups are not good enough. Transportation is often a problem. Additionally, in order to actually get the kind of support I need outside of inpatient, it would require me to reorganize my entire life which is what I want help with doing because I feel way too alone. I also tried getting a job at one of those and they just delayed me for months and months on end. They seem overloaded. An additional problem is that I was already promised that inpatient would help me get away from my family. They instead sent me back to them over suicidal thoughts caused by my family. I realize that this is a similar psychological mechanism that gets people in jail over and over again. The only place where I can find belonging is in a place where I shouldn't be. At the same time, I have doubts that they would actually help outside of temporary stabilization. In order to get stabilization outside of inpatient, It requires a lot of work while carrying a heavy emotional burden alone. The work I have been doing was a lot of independent research on a broad range of topics, often trying to get knowledge of how human psychology works in order to detect and understand why my pathologies are emerging, what I can do, and how I can keep myself safe. The problem is that according to my research, I need a sense of belonging. This sense of belonging cannot be found with more knowledge. It requires finding people I can connect to. This is a recurring theme across all of my psychological problems. This is also why I want to live on college campus so I can try to find a new group of people to associate with. I want something outside of mental health that makes things worse long term. The reason the system I would be turning to makes things worse is because they shove a bunch a pills down your throat, temporarily make you feel better, and then set you up for relapse by leaving you without a future. This is all done while draining you until you are homeless or you die. I hate being alone. But in order to not be alone, I would have to do a lot of difficult emotional labor alone. A lot of times it seems unbearable. I often feel like it isn't worth it if death seems like the easy way out. The reason I haven't killed myself is because I could choose, or I could choose perpetual misery with the life I have, or I could choose an uncertain future by living on college campus and building a completely different life. Uncertainty is actually a good thing here because at least there is the possibility of a good outcome. If I fail and end up in a worse position, then I can revisit the idea of killing myself via a method I won't detail. Additionally, my psychological profile predicts that I would stay stuck in life rather than improve. I know the mechanism by which my psyche stays stuck. One factor is rumination on grief due to a lack of healthy relationships due to family estrangement and difficulty finding the support I need. In reality it barely exists at all unless I do all of the emotional labor necessary to get it, at which point I won't need it anymore. I especially hate weekends as that is the most isolating time of all. Everything is closed and there is much less to do. Personal development is what I reach for because I struggle to find anything else that would help. No hero is coming even when I actively look for professionals that specialize in my needs specifically. I hate life. I reach for spirituality from a broken place. I reach for achievement to find anything worth pursuing. Eventually, I just burnout. My desires have too frequently been an obstacle to overcome rather than something to embrace. This is part of why personal development is a mismatch for me as it falsely assumes my desires and passions are actually conducive to improvement. Instead I end up learning I'm supposed to grieve and then build a totally different life unrelated to my passions and for some reason not kill myself. There are way too many cracks in society for me to fall through. I want to take a shot with college, but the loneliness in the process feels unbearable. This is probably why I post a bunch a stuff like this on the forum because I wish I had somebody, but in the end the forum can't really solve this kind of problem either. It goes back to the same problem driving all my other problems. I ended up being recommended dating by multiple therapists, but this needs to be balances with employment problems and childhood sexual abuse which is what drove me into isolation to begin with. It particularly made me avoidant of dating. I also want to model what a healthy psyche for me would look like. I modeled all the versions of problems I could have with my psyche, but I want to focus on building the better psyche which requires connection and belonging. I tried to find a way to build a psychological fortress against this dilemma, but it doesn't seem to hold given enough time. I think there was an actualized video on loneliness in personal development a while back. Maybe I can find that video and watch it.

"Ultimate freedom is overrated, and ultimately, incorrect if not otherwise categorised as an impossibility within human existence. Enslave yourself to something big and intelligent, or at least something or this idealism to a fundamental path intrinsic to your own development. Then, watch your freedom and life choices grow the more of your freedom and life choices you just simply, give away freely to your cause. However small that cause may seem in the present, the freedom to choose to be enslaved by something meaningful, and not give yourself the freedom to do otherwise unless its truly the right judgement to do so, is the best kind of wisdom that only appears in the future looking back. Choiceless choice is what creates dreams, and an overabundance of choice without this sacrifice, what ruins them." - anonymous.

Well sure, survival seems to matter from a personal perspective. The fear of pain and death(unknown) is a very powerful emotion. Ultimately nothing matters though because every living organism will eventually die including you and me. Life seems to matter because the alternative, death, is unfamiliar and terrifying for most. Imo, a programed biological desire for survival doesn't necessarily make it important. Both tribes were going to die eventually no matter what. I mean, every single living being from that Era, is now dead........so what did it really matter?..........it didn't actually. It only seemed to matter temporarily. Makes no difference at all in the big picture. -

I do also have a gut feeling about knowledge and survival, I stopped being more mature in power = knowledge, and pushing myself conceptually, also to transcend, my core issue is simply I dislike spiritual normies, and "clean cleans" who just scream perfect perfect like immature 2 year olds, I had enough ungrateful bastards in my life, I did a lot of practice it takes a lot of maturity to convince me working with a lot of Phd's and other humans showed me also the issue of the creative space and maturity, where this alpha music just kills the inner wussi in me absolutely, it aids a lot of survival tendencies and projections anyhow I stop again. I still have some different perspectives, I can deepen my archetypal work, but I have to be careful not to go overboard and also not to hang-out in these green health spaces, anyhow I stop again... I changed a lot, This is still art, at times I take it to serious, but learning from the mistakes is valueable.

Just while gaming, I had some core insights, how much I pushed survival into consciosuness and god, and whack most of the silly manipulative tendencies other humans have and how well my success for others felt, as well as my authenticity, but I have to rely on healthy stage red being pushed into TIER II, I was close to reaching TIER III, but a lot of social conditioning went into stage red, and even during these times there have been plenty of enlightend people, it also makes more sense to me, as my name is dedicated to a war saint, or via a greek perspective to agriculture and demeter, often times others abuse the core idea of benevolence to push down my success, while others take joy and humour in my character and personality, which is mercy. That is a nice insight from Deepak Chopra. My core issue was here, these kids around here steadily approached me after my meditation practice and acted like pestering overcurious cats, as they sense the true spiritual gift I am at, but I still have kriyas and samskaras, which is natural. Somehow this mixture does it for me, idk this guys music just punches the corruption out of me with lines of Truth, especially in survival, also my bias recently with Islam, I would require someone to translate the new audiobook it's 50h on islam. I might meditate again, but tbh I confused my survival with spirituality, as the karmic world, just constantly acted out it's samsara, and I still have to find ways to work around it facing it directly, just showed me a slave mentality that is not good to build natural healthy dominance and the fire energy or agni, I also confused that avalon is a celtic legend, I somehow connected it to Iran, anyhow I stop here. This song still shocks me, as I attended an NGO and I thought at one point this could just happen how corrupt and open people can be, it was odd.

Fight is focused aggression or struggle, often with a clear goal of eliminating or transcending an obstacle. Anger tends to arise when you encounter an obstacle (or something obstructs your movement). A fight is an attempt to overcome it.

Lack of holism is to neglect any one part. Holism is not some magic catch-all single generalized summary solution. That's ironically called reductionism. Holism tells you every part matters for the whole. You can't neglect any one part. Calcium is an essential nutrient, essential for the whole of the body and mind.
