Profound, language is. Division: di-vision

Exactly. To be everything one must be nothing. Only nothing is flexible enough to become everything. Like a blank sheet of paper can take any drawings, but a drawn sheet of paper cannot take other drawings. There is an absolute trade-off between drawing one scene vs another scene. You cannot draw a scene of Egypt while also drawing a scene of Japan. Drawing any finite thing precludes the possibility of drawing another finite thing. All form is finite in this way. The only way to escape this limitation is to surrender existence as a form of any kind. Which, God, in its infinite wisdom has done. God surrendered all form to -- paradoxically -- create all possible forms. The only way for God to create everything was to itself be nothing. Which is why God is so hard to find. God is hard to find because it cannot exist as a form -- and since humans are forms, they only care about and look for forms. So humans look around, they don't see God's form, and they conclude that God must not exist. But what they don't realize is that God doesn't have form by design. It's not a bug, it's a feature!

@SS10 You can't accept it because first you must become conscious of what God is. Right now, for you, "God" is an empty pointer.

For me it was of momumental importance. It was not about the sex. It was about my growth into a man. In practice, yes. The order of operations is: become skillful at survival, then transcend survival. For a few exceptionally gifted people this order of operations is not needed, but for most people it is. It is hard to be serious about spiritual work when you are horny and lonely and craving it.

Obviously.

Isn't it obvious? Because millions of lives are at stake.

Exactly. God has nothing else to do but dream. And God loves to dream. It's not an excuse at all. You assume there is a distimction between real and imaginary things. But there is not. Reality IS imagination. And this is not some bummer. This is the mosg wonderful thing. One day you will realize that you want to live in an imaginary world. It's so much more fun! Why the fuck do you want things to not be imaginary? Seriously!

Causality exists within a relative, imaginary 2D plane of what materialists call reality. Similar to how causality exists in a video game world.

@neutralempty You assume it's good bacteria, but what if it's bad? You cannot apply the logic of people who don't have autoimmunity to those who do. It's a totally different ballgame. It's like giving someone who's allergic to peanuts more and more nuts. I'm not saying carnivore diet is good long-term. It's a specific tool for dealing with autoimmune conditions. Think of it as the ultimate elimination or elemental diet.

Yes, well, if you could understand what I meant you would become enlightened right this second. Ego must prevent you from understanding it. Your life hinges on you not understanding. I mean that colors and sounds and feelings are happening, but they are not happening to anyone, they are not happening to a human "you". As odd as this sounds, the colors and sounds and feelings that are happening right now are NOT happening to you. They are happening without you. But they are happening. I am not denying colors and sounds and feelings. I am just denying that "you" they seem to happen to. This is explained in great detail in my video: What Is Perception?

@Matt Skinner Think of Love this way: humans love certain things but not other things. Why are humans selective in their love? Why don't they love EVERYTHING equally? Because humans have a self they which to survive. This self is finite, therefore it cannot embrace/Love infinitely. A finite self must have a bias to love some things over other things, because some thing might kill it or harm it. But God has no self! Since God has no self, it has nothing to defend and nothing to lose. Therefore it can Love absolutely EVERYTHING, because why not? Why not love EVERYTHING? Only if you have a self that is biased. But God is Infinitely Conscious, therefore it cannot sustain the illusion of a finite self, and therefore it simply is LOVE as a pure Absolute. Think of it this way: why would reality as whole not love itself completely? I mean... reality as a whole cannot be harmed by anything because it is everything already, and it cannot be any better than it is because "being better" is a notion only the ego cares about. Notice this: if you didn't care about getting a survival advantage in life you would not care about one thing more than any other. And if you didn't care about one thing more than any other, you would care about all things equally. But if you care about all things equally, see the beauty of everything, which grow infinite. And so you would fall absolutely in love with EVERYTHING because you don't need it to be different than it is. The only thing that keeps you from falling in love with absolutely EVERYTHING is the ego wanting things to be different. Ta-da!

You could probably grow them in a tiny storage unit for $30/mo if it's legal in your area I don't see the problem. That will be by far better than flying to expensive retreats. You can grow a lifetime supply of mushrooms and distill them all into a bottle of vodka. A lifetime of mushroom vodka Just don't let your parents or friends start doing shots Just be careful that you are not caught and tried as a dealer. Usually if they catch you making drugs, they will try you as a dealer even if it was just for your personal use. They will just assume you will be selling them and that will stick in court. You do not want to get caught as a dealer or drug lab.

You can buy a waterproof mattress cover at Walmart that seals up the entire mattress from all sides. It's a good investment regardless. Keeps your mattress clean and keeps the mites and bedbugs locked inside. Wait till you find out about the mites

@rd5555 I wouldn't put up with human bullshit in one's living situation. Move out and find yourself a solitary place where you can feel right. You shouldn't have to abide fools and devils cavorting in your living space. Yes, it's annoying to move, but you'll be glad you did. Consider it part of your personal development process. An important part of personal development is setting up your own personal sanctuary at home where no assholes can interrupt you. Don't treat this as unimportant. Your home is important.

Methinks Jamie Wheal has been puffing a lot of the Magic Dragon.

I will improve that section in the future.

It's more strange-loopy than that. The brain is not a reducing valve of consciousness, consciousness imagined a reducing valve and called it "a brain". The paradox is that the brain reduces consciousness not by some material mechanism, but simply you imagining you have one. When you buy the idea that "I have a brain and it produces my consciousness" -- that idea itself reduces your consciousness and THAT is true function of "the brain". The concept of "the brain" is there to ground you in finite consciousness, for without that concept everything would be seen to be as it truly is: infinite Imagine if you were locked in a prison with an open lock, and the only thing keeping you locked in there was your idea that the door was locked! For decades you planned how to break through the lock, and none of your methods worked, until one day you realized there was no lock, and suddenly the door opened. You ARE the lock and you ARE the key! Ta-da! - - - - - How else could it be, But that you are the key, That will set you free, To simply be, United with me.

There's the rub.

Haha, you are the rock, silly God is EVERYTHING. God is YOU. You can't be more God because you are always 100% God. Everything is always 100% God. But not everything knows it. A donkey always has an asshole. But does he know it?

I never said anything about a rock having a POV. "Having a POV" IS the self! The problem here is not the rock's POV (which you imagine) but that you believe that YOU have a POV! That is the ego illusion. You don't really have a POV, there is Absolute Being, not a POV. Ego imagines the notion of POVs because it needs to feel like it has one. The entire notion of having a POV is wrong.

That's a even deeper mindfuck to be had here: Notice that for a chameleon to truly be infinite, it would not only need to be colorless but also formless, thus allowing it to become any other thing. Imagine a chameleon who is such a good chameleon that he had to surrender even his chameleon identity because he needed to in order to mimic a rock, or a bird, or a human. But in this case, if the chameleon really became so strong and good at his function, he would no longer be merely "mimicking" those objects, he would literally BE those objects. So a true Chameleon cannot even be a chameleon. He must be a non-chameleon Chameleon And if you understand that, then you understand why God must have no identity: precisely so he would take every identity fully, without mimickery. See? God can't just pretend to be rock or a bird or a human, God has to actually BECOME those things, otherwise how would they come into existence? The why is more radical than you think. God IS Love. Love is Truth. Love is Absolute. Therefore literally nothing but LOVE can ever exist. So if a thing exists, it's ultimate cause is always simply LOVE. Reality is LOVE, and LOVE is EVERYTHING, and God is EVERYTHING. Therefore all the finite stuff is just literally what God is. The end.

If Sherlock Holmes ate some mushrooms or hit himself in the head with a hammer, he would experience some odd subjective experiences. And he would consider it a demonstration of causality. But is it really? All of that "causality" is occurring within an imaginary dimension. The true cause of Sherlock Holmes' odd subjective experiences is not the mushroom or the hammer or his brain, it's the author who imagined him and his entire universe -- of which Sherlock is totally clueless because the author exists outside the plane of his reality. @Carl-Richard The answers to your question exist outside the plane of your reality. You need to figure out a way to go orthogonal to all of material existence, or you will forever be stuck within that plane and your questions will never be answered. Causality is imaginary, as is time and history.

You should chase living an authentic life aligned with your top values, your top passions, helping spread truth, consciousness, love, and beauty across the Universe via which ever way most excites you and suits your unique strengths and talents. You are right that you should not just sit around twiddling your thumbs. You should be constantly working on your life purpose and evolving yourself towards that end. Life is short. Don't squander it sitting around in confusion and inaction. False success is chasing what others tell you is good. True success is devoting your life to expressing the Love that you have for the world in your unique way, and doing so skillfully and eagerly. False success will not make you happy, but true success will.

The only demon you should be concerned about exorcising is that big fat ego of yours Keep your eye on the true demon. Don't get distracted with false ones.

@Podie45 I would keep researching the issue and troubleshooting it if I were you. There should be a way to fix it. Try to find people who had it and lost it, and ask them what things they tried. Maybe changing your diet, maybe some detox protocols, maybe some psychedelics.... keep trying stuff with the hope that something will help. Some medical conditions can be very hard to figure out, but they can be figured out.
