Depends on whether you can do it. If I tell you that you cannot jump to the moon, that's probably true. When it comes to evaluating your own abilities you actually have to test it, you cannot know a priori what you are capable of. Sometimes you will find that you fail to do things you were sure you could do. And other times you will find that you are able to do things which you thought you never could. Both will be the case. You won't know until you try, which is why you should try lots of stuff and try hard.

Yes, key questioning and getting to the truth of things. Awareness of truth has a curative effect. It's subtle at first but snowballs over time. You could also make a commitment to act in alignment with truth rather than fantasy.

Not necessary, but realistically that's how most people will start. Should be fine. Of course you may lack grounding and fall into various traps. Buddhism and so forth is useful in providing some grounding and rules to keep yourself from turning into a Conor Murphy character. Buddhism teaches you discipline and maturity.

No My consciousness of it is more than a memory. Yes

All perspectives are not equal. Some perspectives are more self-contradictory than others. Delusion can be thought of as a measure of self-contradiction. The problem isn't that your perspective contradicts other perspectives, the problem is that your perspective contradicts itself and then you deny those contradictions through dishonesty.

What you do is you keep doing mercenary work to build up your savings. But in the meantime you also experiment with new app ideas. You can't just sit around and hope that some great idea will pop into your head. You need to work the problem. Research new apps, download them, play with them, talk to people and ask them what kind of apps they need, what features they are missing, etc. This is called doing research. A lot of research is required before you start to get good ideaa for new products. A new product idea comes as you expertly explore existing products and bump into their limitations.

You are not recording ghosts, you are recording moving physical objects -- which is your empirical claim.

So if you asked 1000 baboons whether you exist, and 501 of them told you No, you would cease to exist? Behold the absurdity of your theory.

No, that is not my purpose. I don't really know what is required to collaborate with them, other than extreme openmindedness. Of course they have good reason not to reveal themselves. Humans barely cope with human immigrants, nevermind alien ones. You cannot give nuclear energy to gorillas.

You will never understand my claim without AWAKENING.

More like GOD learns to trust its own soveriegnty. Again, think about it this way: If GOD really existed, who would GOD ask to tell him that he's GOD? Obviously he could only ask himself. It makes no fucking sense for GOD to ask some lesser being to validate his Godhood. Because if GOD cannot know it's GOD, certainly no lesser being can.

@davecraw You keep spinning your wheels on this topic. When are you gonna realize that this issue is too profound to be solved by this method you keep trying to use? How many years do you plan to keep trying this? I'm telling you it will never work. Please listen and change your method.

Get a camera and record it. Otherwise it didn't happen. Hold your own feet to the fire.

That will hurt them.

Because only you exist and you are imagining me.

@davecraw The evidence you seek is called AWAKENING. You cannot awaken before you awaken. Notice: the only evidence of the color red is you seeing the color red. There cannot be any further evidence.

Certainly this forum is 50% junk, so be choosy. This is not a forum problem, this is a human problem. Consciousness is self-validating. You cannot ask someone to verify your existence for you. You can ONLY do that yourself. At some point in your life you have to stop asking others what the truth is and trust yourself instead. There is no reason why others would be more trustworthy than yourself. You are missing this insight. Because you have been trained to run off group-think. AWAKENING requires stopping group-think.

So pass a law.

1) I don't really know if we have a crisis. People took out loans that they ought to repay. Calling this a "crisis" is not quite right. By your logic, why stop at student loans? Why not forgive all loans of all kinds? 2) Congress can pass a law that wipes away all student loans. That's how democracy is supposed to work.

Isn't the lowest awakening also indescribable, yet everyone teaches it. The teaching of the highest awakening requires denying the lower awakenings, otherwise you get stuck in the lower ones. As they say, the good is the enemy of the great.

Of course. I'm just sharing how typical pickup guys think.

I don't agree with that. If you take out massive loans that is your responsibilty. Expecting a bailout is not something you should feel entitled to. If it happens, that's a nice gift, but you should not design your life around expecting gifts and then getting upset when they are not given to you. If I took out a loan I would never expect it to be forgiven. This is why I treat loans very seriously.

You also gotta keep in mind that the Supreme Court rules on narrow technical grounds. They are not ruling based o what is best for people, they are ruling on whether a President has the authority to pass a certain executive decision. If student loan forgiveness was passed by Congress then the Supreme Court would not overrule it. It was overruled because technically only Congress should be able to pass budget-related laws. In a sense Dems and Progresses were just trying to sneak this issue through without having a proper vote on it, because they know it will never pass Congress. But sneaking stuff through is actually a corruption of our system, even if you feel it's "good" stuff. Many disagree with your definition of good. Which is why we have voting in Congress.

Probably because the LGBTQ community has gone a bit too far lately. Stuff like drag shows for kids and some frivolous trans stuff makes normal people uncomfortable. Also, this particular issue is so silly and petty. Stop carring whether someone doesn't want to make you a gay wedding cake. You can find plenty of places who will be happy to bake you the gayest cake on Earth. This is trivial stuff. It's not a serious infringment on gay rights. People need to learn to let go of minor stuff like this. You should expect a bit of prejudice to exist in society. Don't do business with people who hold opposite values from you. This is unnecessary. There is plenty of business to be had with people who share your values. Most people did not go to college so they probably don't feel good about the idea of their tax dollars paying off some college brat's loans. Again, frankly I don't have a problem with this ruling. You have no right to have your college loans forgiven. There is a case to be made that this is unfair.

I do have more understanding of regular people however I have to balance that with not allowing them to corrupt my mind with bad ideas. Also, it's just a phase you go through. You start out life generally loving mankind, then you go deep into spirituality and you actually start to hate mankind for all its lies and bullshit, then you integrate that and come out the other end with a true capacity to love mankind. Can't say since it's just some story in a book. Who knows what's true in that book and what is made up?
