They are wrong relative to their own dream. Flat Earthers are wrong because if they take a flight out to space they will see a round Earth, not a flat one. In THIS dream. In some other dream the Earth may be flat. But we are not in that dream now. Your beliefs need to match the dream you're in. Or else you are wrong.

@Schizophonia If you don't understand that women don't operate in a logical way then you don't know jack about women and there is nothing further to discuss. Study the difference between masculine and feminine psychology.

Don't just wrestle with it in some vague sense. Sit down with a pen and paper and think it through with some concrete examples. You will start to see how it works.

Hard work applied to starting a career/biz will kill both those birds with one stone. You could also apply that strong work ethic to spiritual practice or raising a family or personal development. Blue is about discipline. Orange is about achievement.

Pick which ever you want. It would be as real as the physical world. But everything the Mind imagines is absolute in the ultimate sense. The mistake is holding only Nothingness or Formlessness as absolute. But all form is absolute too. This what the nondualists miss. You can explore other kinds of consciousness and other dreams. Of course they are still dreamt by you, but its like you enter a new reality. It's not like you cannot travel beyond your one island. Of course you cannot escape it all being your imagination. That's always the case no matter what.

Oh yeah

Travel is good for you in more ways than one.

Not very long, maybe 15-30 mins. But it can feel subjectively longer because it feels like you're stuck there forever.

It is useful to make some maps of consciousness, but once you get advanced you will have to let them go to really go deep into uncharted waters. A map will limit your ability to imagine new types of consciousness. For example, insanity is not on any spiritual map, and yet it is a very serious and advanced domain. Humans don't even understand what sanity is. Not to mention much more radical forms of consciousness. One time I became so conscious that I discovered something I called the inverse of consciousness. Which no one here even knows is possible.

Because there is this asymmetry. Women are more intuitive and being feminine is about acting more intuitively, so logical advice is not so good for that. And men like logical, practical advice for how to be a man. A woman does not sit down and rationally calculate her mating strategy the way a man might. There exists a lot of advice for women about connecting to their emotions, feelings, and so forth. That IS how to be a real woman. It isn't about sitting down and learning a bunch of logical things. There exists a whole domain of feminine personal development, which you will not get from my work.

Somewhere in a river a lonely crocodile dreams of eating a Buddhist. That crocodile is my spirit animal.

Not so fast! You overlook the possibility that God could create a reality in which Christianity is absolutely true. Your notion of absolute is too reductionistic and limited. Imagine an infinity of different mutually exclusive absolutes. Imagine Absolute Christianity, Absolute Islam, and Absolute Satanism. All of them absolute within themselves. But now imagine a world in which Jesus is the only truth and everyone else is going to Hell. God could construct such a dream and it would be true as long as you are inside that dream. Outside a dream there is nothing. Wisdom does connect with truth in some way, but wisdom doesn't have to be present or active at all. There can be consciousness devoid of any wisdom and it is no less legit. But God is a dreamer of worlds, so if you want to understand God you better think beyond you present little world. It's like you were born on a island and don't want to be all crazy thinking about anything across the sea because island life is your whole reality.

Truth identical to God. For this reason God does not manipulate reality, God just is reality. Humans like to imagine God as a mastee manipulator, but is more profound than that. God does not manipulate, it just surrenders to its own true nature, which flows for its own infinite perfection and intelligence. God IS that highest flow.

These people were not living normal lives. They were very niche, specialized humans. If you live a modern life you need to be a lot more realistic. Beware the trap of simplisitic life quotes. To navigate the modern world requires a lot of complex thinking. Ramana lived in a fucking cave. Unless you are doing that, don't mirror his behavior too closely.

Because people post ugly junk. I don't want to recreate MySpace.

Trump's self-deception isn't deep, it's shallow. That's the embrassment of it.

I wanted to remove myself from your work. So that you don't get hung up on me.

I've used those in that past to help with Kriya yoga breathing. My nose is chronically blocked.

To spare you a truth you are not yet ready to accept

@Osaid If there's no unenlightened humans then no point speaking about enlightenment.

Truth.

This function is supposed to be disabled for everyone, including Mods.

If consciousness cannot lower itself it cannot dream, which would be the ultimate limit. Just the fact that you were born is proof that consciousness can lower and limit itself. You can't have it both ways. You can't say that all these humans are deluded and unenlightend and then claim that consciousness cannot be low.

You don't need a conspiracy when you have so much ignorance.

Everything is deniable. What would happen is that it would be denied.
