  1. Past hour
  2. Frankly this is how most of the thinking world sees the US. The fact that you guys don’t even have healthcare is absurd. There’s so much to like about America but your political system is complete dogwater.
  3. I'll push back on one assumption here. Is all conceptual story-telling human created?
  4. Im planning on playing Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance soon.
  5. Thats the guy who thinks his ancestors were monkeys.
  6. You can only be certain of one truth, and that is you are conscious… everything else is uncertain. And yes, this is known only as and through your word….Without knowing a word, nothing, absolutely nothing is known.
  7. Ayahuasca community is generally a very immature, childish, and unknowledgeable group of people who make poor choices to resolve inner issues. It’s a super powerful psychedelic and when you enter that sort of new age space that drinks it you don’t have the language or the tools to really resolve much. It’s incoherent and a very messy community. A lot of people drink and think it’s going to solve all their problems in life. I briefly entered this phase years ago when I first got into psychedelics and it’s no joke, and I can say now you either make it to the other side more advanced or on occasion some people who aren’t able to do this revert down to Christianity because of the stability.
  8. He has obviously had a huge impact on many of you, so that speaks for itself. I worry if he has too much of an empiricist approach. Reminds me of my same worry with Zen, although this can be good on the path too.
  9. The body has no owner.
  10. An object in mind. An image of the imageless.
  11. @Mellowmarsh Your body is a machine designed to meet your maker. You arent any part of the human body, the body can make you see yourself via its intelligent design. Computers are just replicas of human. Humans are replicating the human body via their direct experience unconsciously to a computer. They will find out hey theres something here thats not actually here.
  12. Where there’s a self, selflessness can’t exist. Note to self…thanks for the fish.
  13. Damn, this old guy got seduced by all the “here’s the part most people miss which you understand” ass kissing built into every response.

  14. Conformity Examples Mega-Thread

    Natasha Tori Maru replied to Husseinisdoingfine's topic in Personal Development -- [Main]

    How is this conformity?
  15. What is machine?
  16. Machines aren’t conscious. Machines can never know their maker.
  17. Today
  18. This is the elephant in the room that refuses to be seen by some gurus. . . You cannot know anything about anything except as a make-believed story, which is born of linguistics. Outside of which remains a totally silent mystery that no temporal life form can ever decode. Every human being is their own guru. So yes, of course everyone is going to believe their own BS I mean what can the human mind do with nothing. It’s obviously going to fill in the blank with something. But here’s the kicker. If or when just one single person ever claims to genuinely know what they are talking about regarding the absolute nature of reality - then anyone can do the same, and not one single one of them will be wrong about their claim because all these claims are being sourced from the exact same place, namely a brain. Now, unless you have been unfortunate to have been born without a brain, then you are exempt from make-believe story telling activity. Outside of human conceptually created story-telling, there’s just life living completely, absolutely, perfectly, effectively, efficiently, rightly, and true without any artificially created human theory being overlaid upon it whatsoever.
  19. Stardew Valley seems like a simplified version of RuneScape. I've played (OldSchool) RuneScape for more hours than some of you have been alive (jking). I haven't logged in for months, even though I started a project aiming to improve my hybridding PvP skills, specifically learning to use brews instead of solid food. The goal is to be better off at the next Deadman Mode game mode (and also just be better at hybridding in general; it's a very fun hobby).
  20. (part 2) i wont belabor the point, however i will say that truth does extend into realistic places, because everyday is a progression (sometimes a regression) from a time where all of our ways of communicating had been aligned w/ diff ideas ~ that which did or didnt point towards either a relative or an absolute place, in such a way that everyone had agreed. And so we are the living proof of things that have progressed in the areas of describing the "meaning of truth": Truth as it would apply to the idea of "facts" and truth as it would apply to the idea of "to reveal", which is more like an action, or something you actively investigate (for others, or for yourself). And regardless, they are hard to explain in words but we continue to build on them, from a realistic place, from a philosophical place, from a magico-religious place and from a spiritual place, all simultaneously.

  22. Keep in mind, we are on the cutting edge of spirituality, and mystic, realish-things, so the language everyone uses here is prolly gonna be assuming a base level of something. But just to zoom back for a second, recall that yous got the term "non dual", the non dual beliefs are what i am presuming we consider actualized dot org, atleast to the everyday enthusiast. So you start there, the surface level of sortve contemplating on, or pointing towards, or suggesting something *non dual. So thats always the first way to frame or cloak everything, just at first, for now. Now from there, we are facing backwards, from the individualized self, pointing towards the non dual destination, where in you have this *observer whos observing, self (Ousia) .... And the other end, forward pointing, atleast through the physical eyes, the very literal understanding of "Anything beyond". Another way to frame it is to say that, the self is a "moment" itself, and everything outside is the extension of time ~ though that peers through a lens that has a "spectrum of" time, and doesnt speak to anything involving the self. The self is the important matter where we derive truth. So that sortve like, the long winded initialization into the aspect of truth as an absolute, but it requires some shuffling around, as its truth from a spiritual basis, alongside truth from the degree that can be communicated. *p.s. truth gets a bit involved, but just for now, truth could be said, is *a truth* intertwined with our ability to communicate truth, as it relates to things that are absolute~Ergo absolute truth is a pointer towards that idea, but we can think of absolute truth from different perspectives. I personally frame it from the point of the self, as it would pertain to anything else, so its both literally the self talking about truth, and its also what truth is, in the search for something absolute. That is, in our own world, we can call it total, but to others, if we express everything absolute as say "consciousness", its a synonym for "any word" which isnt quite how wed communicate with each other if to intertwine w/ the "meanings of truth". It all depends on what someone is asking in that case.
  23. If everybody was rational they would press red, because that's a 100% guaranteed chance of survival. In the real world, a lot of people will press the red button simply to to guarantee survival. But it'd be too late for those who have already pushed the blue button. Because of that, there will be a massive drive to press the blue button so hopefully people are able to survive. Knowing humanity, Blue would easily cross 50%. In the case where no communication is allowed and each person has to pick it based on their own thoughts, the results can be devastating. Personally, in a situation where no communication is allowed, two things will be battling it out for me. "I must guarantee my survival" and "In case a large number of people die, I can't live with the guilt of having pressed the Red button". In such a case, I believe humanity would heavily skew Red because no communication is allowed. Given some thinking time I think more than 50% of humans will figure out that Red is the best option. Assuming they have been presented the question in their preferred language or dialect which they understand the best. The reason for skewing Red would be imo everybody just wanting to ensure their survival. Even then, a lot of people would have picked Blue and their fate would be hopeless. With all of that in my head, I think 90% of the time I will not be conscious enough to pick Blue. Picking Blue is effectively accepting your death. After picking Red, to not feel guilt, I would stupidify those who picked Blue in my head. "They were dumb enough to pick Blue, it's just natural selection. Of course I feel bad but it's not my fault picking Red." The other 10% of the time, when I am highly conscious, I'd realize that the answer that aligns the most with the universal will is Blue. 10% of the time I think I'd pick Blue and accept my death.
  24. Do you have a life purpose?
  25. Bump
  26. Something along the lines of 'Wait, how is anything here?" This question forces me to peer into the void that is reality.
  27. He says that because Mindset is the only variable factor whereas reality can't be changed. But in truth success depends on a nebulous mixture of both. The less conducive reality is to success the more important mindset becomes but also success becomes less probable.
