@Dodo

@Dodo Trees teach the highest teachings - silence.

So have you my friend. But I agree, it's a dead end it seems.

@egoless In non duality there is no figure like jesus, no God, at least no God in the way religion describes it. Hence, if you find non duality to be true, you can be sure you haven't pick up any scripture or doctrines. You can find non dual truth with meditation or psychedelic drugs alone. You guide yourself towards truth so to speak. To sum it up, non duality is a way to find out truth within yourself, there is not a single word you have to believe in. You don't even have to call it non duality and you don't have to be aware of non duality at all. A complete newbie who have never heard of non duality can reach it all alone, without even know about spirituality. He might just be interested in truth and try some psychedelics and do some meditation. He doesn't has to know about meditation either, it happens automatically to a silent mind. So a person who is interesting in existential truth but are disconnected to society let say, he has never heard of religions or spirituality. That person might indeed come to non dual insights about reality. Realising of oneness. In contrary, christianity require that you find truth OUTSIDE of you self, in a book, in stories, in scriptures. You could never find Jesus if you haven't heard of him or christianity. let say you lived on an isolated island where your people haven't heard of religion, and you are resting in non dual truth. But all of a sudden you find out that oneness is wrong, there is indeed a soul, what would you have find? You certainly wouldn't have find Jesus. You see what I'm saying here @egoless ?

In the realm where the question exist no creativity can be found. In the realm where creativity resides, no such question can be found. It is beautiful indeed.

This is correct observation. One must looking through fresh eyes. This also means you have to be naive to be creative. You can't have one without the other. That's the reason people stay away from creativity aka life. They can't face the uncertainty of being naive, they want control, and in control 'you' miss out on life. You have to lose control face death of separate self in order to live. "You have to die a few times in order for life to happen" "Every true genius is bound to be naive" Isn't it so @Faceless ?

By not cultivating those attributes one cultivate those attributes, see the paradox here? Creativity is natural? Does a child start playing after he/she is cultivated in the creativity that goes into play? No, it's spontaneous act! My best piece of advice, even though you don't have to do anything.. Never try to be a grown up, be for ever young! "Young has nothing to do with age, you can be 100 year young" @Faceless Guess who wrote the quote below, do you know my hero in life? Ah, but I was so much older then I'm younger than that now

Isn't this against the narrative we push here? It's precisely the "I am God" - paradigm that we embrace here. If you don't share our agenda, isn't this the wrong place for you?

Let us imagine a large range of all human behaviours that is possible, all possible deeds, thoughts, level of consciousness etcetera. In todays world that range of 'all-possibilities' is fully covered, we have humans from the highest to the lowest level of awareness. Now, if we think of a better world, let's say in the future, where world is at peace and politicians speaks more truth for more altruistic reasons. And that certain deeds that humans use to do(commit) is absent. Hence a range that is more limited then the 'all-possibility-range' and cover all of the 'good', but not all of the 'bad'. In that new world, a somewhat more idealistic world, it would lack full coverage of all possible human behaviours. And is that really possible? Maybe we humans can't have a world where our full range of possible behaviours where all levels of consciousnesses and deeds are not represented? The actuall range of human behaviours at any given time must be fully relaxed into complete coverage of the "all-possibility-range" Hence, politics will probably always be somewhat of a low conscious 'game' for example. If we can do good, we do! If we can do bad, we do. Humans as a whole will always do everything that is possible to do. The lowest level of consciousness will always be represented just because it is possible, and vice versa, the highest level of consciousness will also always be represented, simply because it's possible. Hence the world can't be that much better of. A little bit better of course, we might live in a somewhat more peaceful world. But we can never shrink that range of actual human behaviours to be any less then the "all-possibility-range". It must be fully covered in the same what that consciousness must be infinite. Imagine filling a span with water, some of the volume in the span represent 'good' and some volume represent 'bad'. You can't fill that span in a way that only the 'good' volume parts are filled with water. All of the volume must be filled if you fill that span. There are a lots of fields in mathematics that says that if something can be 'relaxated', it will be, only constraints that is impossible to remove will sustain. Therefore a 'constraint' that cut off bad deeds and low consciousness behaviour will never sustain, since it's possible to break that constraint(relaxation). I don't know why this is so interesting to me. I guess I want to know how accurate feelings of "saving the world" are, that many people held. What do you think? In a way, it's an endless battle between 'good' and 'evil' where both sides must be represented. Just make sure you pick the right side. At least not to far from the 'good' end.

Do you remember? Maybe you were a child or adolescent. That inner mysterious life, it was amazing, yet we didn't know that there was a field called spirituality. We lacked all concepts like infinity, non duality, samadhi, meditation etcetera. We just meditated naturally without knowing there was a word for it, and we experienced what all those concepts were pointing at, without knowing the concepts themselves. Do you remember? Tell us something from your youth.

But do we need all those religious scriptures really. Have religions scriptures if we sum them up benefitted humanity, or has it been a disfavour to humanity? They(women) have wrote many love stories and beautiful song lyrics, created lots of peaceful art. All of it pointed towards truth.

I often noticed how women tend to be much more wise facing this journey. They don't treat themselves foolishly, they go carefully forward with curiosity and a careful pace forward. Where as men often are willing to drop their head completely and go all in with drugs or extrem meditation sessions, that they not even like to do. They go against their intuition to gain the so called "truth" Isn't that pathetic? lol, a women would never be that stupid and go in the opposite direction of their intuition. So many trip reports with men who are afraid to death before taking the drugs Why? Because they intuitively don't want that shit. Hello, how stupid are we? Also, in situation in ordinary life where ego is threatened in a natural way, maybe a laughter, women often go along and have fun on her own behalf, men don't Have you ever seen a man laughing his ass of on his own behalf? Because his own stupidity? Women do that all the time. Also, when it comes to love and beauty, women have a natural talent to pick up those frequences, they can really lose themselves to love and in appreciation of beauty. In love, beauty, humor we lose ego in a natural way, hands down, women are masters in this compare to us. Men want's to be the 'best' in losing ego, so we go into spirituality, to be the greatest in losing ego. Guess what, that is ego in itself, spiritual ego.

Of course they are, but there is a difference in general with an advantage to women, don't you think?

Mods think women are not allowed to fuck, only to be fucked. Yup, you're absolutely right, I've noticed the same!

When a living being leaves or loses his physical body, he does not at first lose his physical consciousness, which in this case means experiences from his last terrestrial life, memories of relatives and friends and so on, and other knowledge. As the physical consciousness is thus thoughts and thought materials it does not in itself constitute something physical, something material but is in reality of a purely spiritual nature. It is therefore independent of the physical body and cannot perish with it. It will, after the collapse of the physical body, still be connected to the I, which, with its eternal superconsciousness and subconsciousness, creates the living spirit which is the true, real, immortal being appearing behind the physical organism. When the spirit at death loses its physical body and so the physical part of its brain and nervous system which is the seat of its physical day consciousness it will lose the thereby dependent capacity consciously to interchange with the physical plane directly and so also the ability to stand in direct physical connection with those left behind on the physical plane. As its day consciousness, however, is transferred at death to its night consciousness, which is day consciousness on the spiritual plane, it will here still live in a conscious juggling with its experiences, memories, knowledge and so on from the physical terrestrial life left behind. These psychic phenomena will then become the decisive basis for the degree of light or happiness in the total spiritual existence the being has entered at death. Sorry for broken English Elaborate please.

In Leos latest video on consciousness he says that consciousness has to be completely empty without any qualities/attributes. Because if consciousness was big lets say, if 'big' was a fundamental quality or attribute, then it couldn't take the form of the opposite attribute, 'small' that is. So consciousness is completely empty, without any qualities or attributes, therefore it is NOTHING. But it is not nothing in a conventional mening in a way that it doesn't exist, because it does exist! And here comes my question, isn't 'existence' a quality in itself? If so, then consciousness is nothingness with ONE quality/attribute, namely the attribute that it exist So, consciousness can't take the opposite form to that attribute, it can't be non existing. And if consciousness can't cease to exist, is it really totally free and infinite then?? We as humans are free to cease to exist(suicide), the same can't be said for consciousness, it lacks that freedom, since consciousness with its only attribute is what is prior to everything and something fundamental that never change, IT IS, and can never turn itself into non existence? Hence no ultimate freedom?

fair enough!

Does any of these questions makes you doubt on Jesus? Why does science seem to prove no self and non duality right? (Tex tomas Metzinger, scientist, he wrote "Being No-one") Why does psychedelics seem to prove the non dual worldview right? How come the non dual community is so strong, with so many people agree and express consensus view?

Interesting, I have a friend from Montenegro, I think it has border with BiH. Very friendly people.

What do you think of judaism? It has the old testament in it. Is jesus the reason you go with christianity over judaism?

@Leo Gura A little bit off topic but I don't want to start a new thread just for this question. I watch you second retreat video, you're talking about how we design every little hair on our body, do we design everything that happen to us as well, for example me asking you this. And did I choose my parents and my somewhat infectious relation to them? Hehe, weird questions, but reality is rather weird so..

Hehe, Rilles, you looking for an argument with egoless today, huh?

True! Off topic. I heard that BiH has the tallest people in the world by average. Is that true? Are you like 2m or something?
