Nature is something consciousness dreams up.

Lol He's def not a sociopath/psychopath or ill-intentioned. I have said before that his apocalyptic videos are not good. And he seems to be ramping them up lately. Trump and Covid have made his apocalyptic message seem more credible, but I say it's an illusion. Ain't no apocalypse coming. And if it is, you're fucked anyway so there's no point preparing for it. The people who follow him at the ashram are definitely sheep. I can confirm that much. And most/all of them ain't enlightened. But overall his nondual teachings are solid. Just don't listen to the Kali yuga stuff.

Absolutely there is deeper

Lolz You can say that about anything. People have died from drinking too much water. Why on earth are you comparing a single jerk off session with 49 times a day??? If you ate 49x your lunch, you'd die. That is not an argument against eating lunch.

What are YOU doing about? Government isn't some magical entity. Government is us. Government is YOU. If you are too lazy to change the system, why do you expect someone else to do it? If you don't like how government works, enter government and lead the way to improve it. Let's see how far you get. Then you'll understand why it doesn't work.

Their meds are not mandated by government for 100 million+ people. Vaccines are not standard meds. And you cannot sue Big Pharma for normal side-effects to their drugs. You can only sue them for willful malfeasance. If you take some drug and it causes your eyes to bleed, but that's considered a known side-effect, you can't sue for that.

Because vaccines are necessary for society to function and pharmaceutical companies are not going to continue doing things which are not profitable for them without incentives. Every drug has some % of side-effects. The difference is, no drug other than a vaccine is mandated for 100s of millions of people by the government. When you have a sample size of 100 million+, there will be some bad cases.

It would be great if they taught some martial arts in high school.

Hehehe... You gave the jawbreaker one lick. Keep going deeper. You'll need something like 100 such trips to start to understand consciousness.

Not a fact, more like bro-science.

@levani If you want to really understand awareness, do the practice in my Mindfulness Meditation video. Thoughts inside your head are also things you can be aware of. There's no fundamental difference between your feet, ass, or thoughts. It's all objects within awareness. Thoughts are just more sneaky and seductive.

In a bacon and egg breakfast, what's the difference between the chicken and the pig? The chicken is involved, but the pig is committed.

I used to be a dualist like you. Then I took an arrow in the knee.

@levani Become aware of your feet. There is you go. Awareness is not something you should define with words. Just be aware. And notice when you are not aware. Like you were not aware of your ass until I just mentioned it.

For the government to tell you how to be healthy it must first understand holistic health, which it does not because our culture has not yet evolved to such a level. Government's approach to health is mostly stage Blue/Orange. Which means materialistic health strategies that avoid preventative and holistic health. Also, the government's biggest job is to keep people from dying, not to make them thrive. The government is there to go very basic stuff, not to lead you towards greatness. That's your own responsibility. From the government's POV it is not a viable solution to just hand out free supplements to people because Covid will still ravage half the population who are unhealthy, obese, and who will not stick to a consistent vitamin schedule even if their lives depended on it. Since most people are dumb, government's solutions must be such as to work for and scale for tens of millions of dumb and lazy people. They must also scale for poor people, since 1/3rd of the US is poor and cannot even afford stuff like vitamins or healthy foods.

Obviously it's selfish. But more importantly it's unstrategic because your chances of getting harmed by Covid are higher than getting harmed by its vaccine. By refusing the vaccine your risks actually increase. So as usual, selfishness and fear tends to backfire.

@electroBeam Bro, take it easy.

Necromancy? You're on the wrong forum.

All difference is imaginary from the perspective of Absolute consciousness. But this is not the place we live life from. This is her mistake. Because no matter how much she holds this position, her body and mind still must survive in the relative world. Voting is pointless if you don't care about dying and suffering. But of course you care extremely much about dying and suffering. Even if you are enlightened you STILL care about minimizing the suffering of others. Yes, it is of course an illusion. But when illusion is all that can ever exist, this point isn't as strong as she thinks. This is a common trap, to conflate relative matters with absolute matters. Just because you understand nonduality does not mean that your mind will properly reason about society or politics. Telling spiritual people not to vote is extremely irresponsible and ignorant, no matter how enlightened you are. Enlightenment does not automatically grant sound political reasoning. All survival happens in the relative domain. If you give up the relative domain, you must also give up survival. You can do that, but do you really understand the severity of what you're doing? When your child is being raped, are you gonna be okay with that? << Those are the real stakes here. That's what politics boils down to. It's very serious stuff. Contrary to what most people think, politics is about as serious a topic as there could be. It's all about life and death and suffering. Which is why people get so ideological about it. If it wasn't important people would not become political radicals. And the choice to do nothing, politically-speaking, is still a choice. So you cannot escape politics. Politics will happen regardless, even if you decided to ignore it. Basically she's being an ostrich sticking her head in the sand, hoping that someone else will solve all the political problems while she basks in the Absolute. Which is actually a selfish position.

Nothing about that is normal. If you feel bad after having an orgasm, something's wrong with your system. Jerking off is not supposed to make you feel bad.

That's absurd. Faster CPUs require a new chassis with faster bus, better cooling, and other such factors. Not to mention that many devices are mobile and don't have space for modules. The old units don't need to be tossed in the trash, they can be recycled. And usually before that happens they are resold many times over. No one just throws a CPU in the trash. They resell it. The market is actually quite good as being efficient when it comes to stuff like this. Central planning such things would be less efficient and more wasteful.

@73809 Don't surrender TO thoughts. Surrender thoughts. Big difference.

Alrighty, looks like this issue has been settled.
