@Thought Art You are treating the issue too shallowly. How would you know walking off a bridge is wrong if suffering did not exist?

Humans are children.

Mushrooms are not your friend.

I'm making this thread to collect every important video or source of information I find about understanding Israel's deceptive behavior. I've found dozens upon dozens of important videos, too many to fit on the blog. So I'm going to keep adding them here. Feel free to add your own. This is not a thread about debating the Israel-Gaza war. I want to build up a playlist of quality videos for people who want a deep understanding of Israel's deceptive behavior -- the underbelly, if you will. This playlist does not focus on understanding Hamas or Arab terrorism or the latest news about the Gaza conflict (since we already have a thread for that). Warning, this list will be pretty negative as it focuses on uncovering deception, propaganda, bias, ethnic cleansing, war crimes, and deconstructing illusions. I see a lot of deception and bias about Israel in mainstream western media which I want to dispel. That's what this playlist is about. This is part of my study of self-deception and self-bias. Sorry if this doesn't seem fair, but this is what I needed to study to unravel the deceptions. This is part of my own sense-making journey. Feel free to discuss any of the videos or share your own. Be mindful not to share low quality, hateful, or misleading/untruthful material. The point here is not be deliberately negative but to gain a deeper understanding of the Israel situation. I will delete any low quality material posted here.

You must train yourself to trip calmly, without moving around. Trip in a way where you sit still, like you are watching TV. Once you start running around, you will create trouble. If you sit still, nothing bad can happen.

Good thread topic

You post a lot but you say and ask little of substance.

To dream without any fear of waking up.

Impersonating people is a violation of Forum Guidelines.

Well, it's both.

That's not what faith is. That's fake faith. Real faith is following truth wherever it leads, even if it leads to your crucifixion. Faith must be in truth, not in bullshit.

The workbook is good. But God-Realization is far beyond that. God-Realization exists in a higher plane of consciousness which no books captures.

As I originally said, if it's serious take it seriously.

They are scholars, not fundamentalists.

The one who's sympathy is asked for. In the context of this thread, the man. You are welcome to cry all you want by yourself. But if you want others to take it seriously, that requires a valid reason. Children are clever little devils who know how to use tears to manipulate and avoid responsibility.

The religious are the most reckless and irreligious. No one serious takes religion seriously.

Do it and see. I don't know.

Don't use AI

Religion is God for people with very low IQ.

I am aware of him but I have nothing to say to him.

Depends on the reason. Girls will cry for the silliest reasons. Or it can be a serious reason. Ignore the silly and take the serious seriously.

I call it proofs because there is a rich tradition of logical proofs for God, which I want to improve upon.

Dude. I am well aware of the ineffable nature of God. Moreso than you understand. Just because I use words well does not mean I think my words encapsulate it. You are trying to make this about words and lack of understanding the Absolute. But that's not what this is about. You are the one here who is lacking direct consciousness of the Absolute. It is completely obvious to me what the Absolute is. But then there's much more Awakening beyond that. Again, getting the Absolute is easy. I don't speak about enlightenment because there is something higher. Buddhism and nonduality are not enough to understand God. You frame this issue as psychedelics granting inferrior understanding of the Absolute, but you are mistaken in that. They grant higher understanding than any human tradition you are copying. You are not going to understand the Absolute better through Buddhism than through 5-MeO-DMT. Not gonna happen.

@AtmanIsBrahman Good work!

How do you know they were willing to die? According to whom did they risk anything? It makes no sense for Jesus to have more powers than today's mystics. Yes, I am more closed to it because I've seen how much these kinds of people play fast and loose with the truth. You can't just trust such people.
