  1. Past hour
  2. BTW mods, I think this needs to be moved to Spirituality sub forum. My bad posting it here.
  3. I'll give an example. It's not something ever related to solipsism itself, because I don't think you can convey it in words. It'll miss the point. But we can go off from tangents which can potentially induce it. It's something only your own personal, felt experience can tell. Here's the example: --- How's it related to what I asked at all? (Don't worry about this part, I'll do the work here) Many posts in this forum is a good source for this. But it's easy to miss what's a tangent and what's not. Not all things are immediately obvious. If you feel it's a tangent, it is. The weight of it is entirely held by your felt experience in that moment. That's all that matters.
  4. God is said to be infinite for example. This means it cannot be known fully . How can something infinite be contained or explicated fully in a finite knowledge ? Like reading the Bible and Quran and Heart Sutra and Upanishad and all the books that talk about god can never fully comprehend infinity .
  5. This is true especially if you don't have a good sleep schedule, which a lot of people don't.
  6. Can you give me more details as to how you feel about this?
  7. Everyone is already doing that. It is already cured by science, the research is there, all the studies are there, just doesn't reflect itself in the healthcare industry.
  8. Yeah
  9. Even a blueberry-banana smoothie makes me feel wonky (but eating the banana and blueberries in their normal form seems OK). When you break down the fibers, it's like knocking off the 4-HO-group of psilocin and it becomes DMT. I need that steady release or physiology gets out of whack.
  10. So there is a not knowing somehow as to the nature of God?

  11. The Word “Belief” Is Problematic

    Joseph Maynor replied to AtmanIsBrahman's topic in Personal Development -- [Main]

    We can see what people loop on and then a second question would be whether it is a belief or not.
  12. Yes . Two points : 1- I know 100% that god exists just by looking at a fucking ant on the street . 2-I don’t know what god is fully . We can say he (it) is omnipotent & omniscient etc but what is god in its core I have no clue . It’s an infinite mystery.
  13. So you don't think the question of God can be determined?
  14. Yeah, authority is tricky. I recall uncovering the epistemics of the DSM and population based treatments on essentially fictional diagnosis with “science”…. It’s a joke.
  15. First of all do you realize that there is such thing as god at all ? Or are you a retarded atheist? Look at the moon and the sun and your own body .. There are hundreds of billions of stars in galaxies ..and hundreds of billions of galaxies in the observable universe. Also intelligent life emerged and began asking questions about meaning ..purpose and existence. I don’t buy that all that happened just like that . also just go put yourself on a sinking boat in the middle of the sea facing death and immediately you will realize the god is real . so you can say we can feel the existence of god . But I’m talking about the very essence or the answer to the question” what is god” . Obviously that can’t be finalized. Let’s not be ridiculous here .
  16. If you have the cure, why don't you go and make fat stacks and save lives?
  17. This video changed my life . Add to that the benefits of enlightenment video, ever since that one awakening has been my life purpose .

  18. A Syrian story in progress

    A reminder for myself to meditate on this today.
  19. Then how can God be known?
  20. Today
  21. This's a cliche to me at this point. I know for a fact if you try to think in terms of game mechanics you'll miss the essence. Because the baked in assumptions can make you creatively blind. (Example, you assume the world to be a certain way, you take some things for granted etc) I'll try and extract the essence from what you said @Xonas Pitfall Induce a linear/quadratic surprise. Realize things are not as it seems. Realize you're the "world". Expose the engine. I wouldn't consider this solipsistic at all. It's simply a meta game.
  22. God can never be known fully . Yes you can understand it better than others but it is impossible to understand God completely. And this is not a mistake . It’s a simple fact.

    I left your house this mornin' About a quarter after nine Could have been the Willie Nelson Could have been the wine When I left your house this mornin' It was a little after nine It was in Bobcaygeon, I saw the constellations Reveal themselves one star at a time Drove back to town this mornin' With workin' on my mind I thought of maybe quittin' I thought of leavin' it behind I went back to bed this mornin' And as I'm pullin' down the blind Yeah, the sky was dull, and hypothetical And fallin' one cloud at a time That night in Toronto With its checkerboard floors Riding on horseback And keepin' order restored 'Til the men, they couldn't hang Stepped to the mic and sang And their voices rang With that Aryan twang I got to your house this mornin' Just a little after nine In the middle of that riot Couldn't get you off my mind So I'm at your house this mornin' Just a little after nine 'Cause it was in Bobcaygeon where I saw the constellations Reveal themselves one star at a time
  24. If someone in real life makes fun of me or insult me or scream disrespectfully on me I experience irritation in my body and I experience an urge to react negatively towards these insults . Yes I can and I do understand that that’s not what I should do but it’s not completely under my control. That’s my experience.
  26. Yesterday
  27. What the essay can't say The essay draws the wall as precisely as I could. But the wall wasn't discovered by thinking. I didn't arrive at "presentation can't be fully captured as representation" by working through the argument. The argument came after. What came first was an event where the whole structure that believes itself to be a separate entity inside a larger, indifferent universe was obliterated. Not paused. Gone. And what remained when it went wasn't nothing. It was the only thing that was ever actually there. The Subject. Not a "human" who survived the event, but the condition that the human had been standing on top of the whole time, finally with nothing on top of it. That is what the essay is trying to point at from the inside. This is the thing formalism can gesture toward but never contain: the wall exists because of what's on the other side of it. The essay shows the shape of the wall. It can't show what made it necessary to map it. The connection Every serious contemplative tradition lands on something like this: there is a condition that makes experience possible, and that condition cannot be found as an object within experience. You can see everything that appears. You cannot see what makes appearing possible. Not because it's hidden, because it's not the kind of thing that appears. It's what every appearance is happening to. What the framework adds is precision about why that is, structurally. Not as a mystical claim, as a property of any system that tries to fully contain the condition of its own operation. A system can model itself with extraordinary depth. It can represent every previous version of what it was, inspect its own rules, build meta-frameworks about its own meta-frameworks. There is no ceiling to that climbing. But it can never turn around and catch the thing doing the representing right now, because that thing is not one more representation it can hold. It is what every representation is currently appearing to. The moment you try to make it an object, you have already generated a new layer doing the looking, and that new layer is now the uncatchable one. That regress is not a bug in the method. It is the structural signature of the fact that the one looking was never inside the picture. It was the condition for there being a picture at all.
