@seeking_brilliance "The Earth is round" is a belief. None of us actually have any direct experience of it. For autolysis purposes, you admit that it is a belief, that you don't know, and that even if it were true, it would be a relative truth. With autolysis you are looking for Absolute Truth. Which means if it was not present before the Big Bang, it is false. Absolute Truth can only be found in your direct experience. It is what you are. It is the feeling of reality itself.

Hehehe.... You're misunderstanding how this works. You can enjoy whatever you want. It's just that conscious people enjoy healthy things while unconscious people force themselves to do healthy things out of obligation. For the conscious person, the healthy action and the enjoyable action are one and the same. Things are only a problem if your mind makes them a problem.

These days not so much. Usually I just feel bad from the food itself more so than from my own sense of guilt. I've realized long ago that guilting myself for stuff like that is counterproductive. The bad food itself is enough get me to correct course.

@The Don The questions you are asking cannot be understood at your present level of consciousness. You must awaken. Then it will make sense. Until then, not a chance. Awakening is unlike anything you could ever imagine. Consciousness created the entire universe. So it can literally do anything it fucking wants. With no limits whatsoever.

No, it is the opposite: total consciousness You are not conscious in deep dreamless sleep.

There are no fractals unless your are tripping balls. Samadhi is identical to whatever you're seeing right now. Same stuff is seen, just under a different context. Samadhi is ALWAYS the case. There can't not be samadhi. The only problem is that your mind is giving your present experience a false dualistic context which makes you unaware of the ever-present samadhi. Look at your hand for a long time without any thoughts. That is basically samadhi.

@seeking_brilliance For $16,000 you can pay the Russians to fly you to the edge of space in a MIG. You could also get a small sail boat and travel around the entire globe and when you return home you will discover that you lost (or gained) 1 day.

This is a web development question not for this forum.

It is something you do. Try it right now: just let go of the tension in your right hand. Notice you can do it. Stop overthinking it. With psychological issues, you cannot let go of a thing you are not aware of. So in that case you must become aware of it first, then let it go. Letting go of psychological issues requires repeated letting go. Once does not work.

@Edvard Don't think for a second that your egotistical bullshit is fooling anyone here. You are full of shit and it's obvious as day. If you are going to be here, open your mind and be ready to learn from those who are way more experienced than you.

Anyone here fascinated by optical illusions as a kid? I hope so. There's something deeply disturbing about what they say about our sense of mental reality. Here are some of my favorite ways to think about how the sense of self can be false and yet appear so real: Is the white triangle real? Is the white star real? Is the white square real? Is the 3D cube real? Is the motion real? Look closely! Are the horizontal lines really slanted? Look very closely! Are the blinking grey dots real? Is the motion real? Look closely! Not as difficult to trick yourself as you thought, huh? Wait... You? Thought? You thought? ...now there's the real trick!

@Sockrattes You do not understand yet what Infinity/Absolute is. It includes your silly DMT aliens and everything else you can imagine. You have not fully awoken yet.

Okay, enough wasting time. Back to work.

Namaste

@Amanda R Batista Lol, you are speaking about ego as if it's a pet of yours. You don't have ego. YOU are EGO! What you're asking is, should I love myself or hate myself? Either way is fine. Up to you.

@kieranperez Surrender your desire for functioning within society. Surrender everything.

Awaken to Absolute Truth and you will know.

This It will blow all of that away. Pure consciousness

@Enlightenment That is because they have not reached the deepest levels. They have not accessed Absolute Infinity. They do not understand what existence is. It's very hard to reach Absolute Infinity through meditation. Take 5-MeO and you will see.

@Mikael89 Enough of your horseshit. Stop polluting this thread.

@Viking I have good news and bad news. Good news: suffering exists to help teach you your lesson. Bad news: you'll have to suffer to learn your lesson.

Eggcellent!

Of course is does! Buddhism can get very dogmatic and religious. Which is why we're having this conversation. It's dangerous to assume that Buddhism is somehow pure and immune from dogma or corruption. In fact, I would venture a bet that the majority of Buddhists are dogmatic and corrupt. No one and no thing in this work can be trusted. All authority is delusion. Direct experience is the only source of Truth.

That's overly simplistic and naive. Not all teachings are the same. Not all pointers are the same. Yes, the mind can corrupt even the bestest of teachings, but many teachings are already fundamentally corrupt and dogmatic to begin with, and do not encourage integral thinking. Integral teachings are rare.

@The Don Of course You've been told how many times. You are just not serious about doing the work.
