It ain't random at all. And it's still Absolute Truth. This is false. So? It's still form and it's still Absolute Truth. This is false. You are conflating the projection of meaning with form/being. These are distinct things. Even if everything is meaningless, form is still form. It doesn't seem like your being clear enough or strict enough with your terminology. You use the word form and meaning rather sloppily. You are aware of forms right now. Therefore they are Absolute Truth. Form IS awareness. Not something else.

Of course breakups are never easy. They sting like a bitch. Of course. Totally understandable. But on the other hand, if two people don't fit, it will break up eventually anyway. You should try to make it work, but if it keeps not working, at some point you gotta move on. Personally, if a girl gets emotionally upset at me for watching porn like in the movie clip above, she's not my kind of girl. I'm not saying she's wrong, I'm just saying I got different standards than her and I don't consider porn cheating. In fact, I would watch porn with her. To me it's just not an issue. But those are my standards. Of course some girls won't agree. Just get clear on your standards and values, and what you're willing to compromise on and what you're not. To me, a girl as needy and insecure as the movie clip above is a turn-off. I don't need that much drama in my life. That kind of emotional reaction is suitable when someone cheats on you, not over porn.

Or... you are conscious as fuck. Love is the realization that there is no difference between anything.

Those are all good and valid. You have no form, but you also have form. The human form is also Absolute. Do not overlook form. Those are all facets of God. But you still have yet to grasp as a whole what God is and how it works. What is God? << that's the key question to crack. Answers such as "awareness" or "consciousness" or "nothingness" are partially correct, but not good enough. Those are glancing strikes. You must hit the nail right on the head to reach complete self-understanding. Of course. It's just a matter of realizing this more holistically. Look at your hands. Your body is God. This is what God looks like. God has a human body. God is a singular being who creates itself using infinite imagination. You are that being pretending to be human. You are an Infinite Dreamer. YOU! YOU! YOU! No one else but you. Just look at what you dreamed up.

Cute

My work has a strong bias towards pure understanding. Pure understanding is not always useful and it does not promise you embodiment. My work is not results oriented. So if you care about maximizing results you have a different value set than me.

It's so obvious that you can't prove everything that it is laughable that any serious person could believe otherwise. And yet that's how rationalists behave.

I overlooked so such thing. I was not talking about a selfish desire. You guys here way over-project egoic desire. Not everything other than Nothingness is an egoic desire. This kind of redictionism is problematic and stunts exploration of consciousness. This is why I shouldn't even share my deepest goals with you. You don't get.

Yes, the first stages of encountering God will have an "otherness" quality to it. You will probably not understand it is you, at first. Getting rid of all otherness takes lots of work. Many people hold the belief that being God is somehow arrogant or egotistical.

I mean, good, but this is an online forum. It will have plenty of BS. Do not get some illusion that this forum will be some beacon of righteousness. It's a forum. On the internets. Don't forget that. If anything people take this place too seriously. This is a casual place with many loose ideas. People need to keep that in mind so that expectations are properly set. It's when people start taking this place too seriously that problems happen. It's good that you want to minimize your own BS. But this cannot be expected of every member here. They simply aren't capable of it. And we get new people every day.

All words create duality. If you don't want duality, stop wording.

Yes, but that's not what is being considered in my question. The question is how to change the physical flow of material reality. For example, I once was so conscious I could almost reach a point where I could turn on and off the lights in my room using my mind. But I still was not conscious enough. According to my theory, if you become conscious enough you should be able to send an email to anyone in the world using your mind. The only thing stopping it is your lack of consciousness.

Meh, most such people aren't gonna be powerful enough to perform miracles. I think the real key is having insane levels of consciousness -- beyond even what most psychedelics allow. I just don't know how it can be sustained.

"Egoic desire clung to and dragged into / mixed with God-realization?" This is what you think a miracle is? You got a low opinion of miracles.

Go drink your soy milk

@The0Self It is problematic to regard the desire for self-understanding as "egoic". Very problematic. Be careful not to create a shadow out of the mind. Self-understanding is the highest of desires. And be careful not to create a shadow out of desire.

Nothingness = Formless = Form = Something = Everything = Void Void is right here, right now. Your ass is the Void even while it looks like an ass.

The context of this thread is what unanswered questions I have about reality. I pursue things for pure understanding of them. I have a desire to understand what a miracle is. Not to perform it but to understand it.

You are imagining the difference between real and imaginary.

Not necessarily. It depends on the person and method. Most casual meditation is so weak it might even be counter-productive.

Yes, so we have some structure to it. Of course you regular members can help out whenever you're able.

I'm not talking about ego.

You can develop many soul mates. Intimacy can be consciously created. It doesn't just have to be something that thrusts itself on you. Take responsibly for creating your soul mate connection. Love is not such a limited thing.

She doesn't have to accept it. But he also doesn't have to accept her. You gotta find people with whom you fit. That's key. You can't really change people.

Abundance mindset Not saying you should do this, but: if you are a guy and you don't have enough energy to bang two girls, you've got some serious energy problems.
