Hahaha nice find. We can practice in the game and then we create our own cultish church in real life Lol

@zeroISinfinity Cool. So, let it go! It's weird, like going back and forth right? But I know what you are talking about.

I think this is good news, not sure what is going to happen, but just the fact that they are considering to discuss this topics in the Catholic Church in Germany is interesting... https://www.americamagazine.org/faith/2019/03/15/cardinal-marx-church-needs-seriously-discuss-celibacy-role-women-and-sexual

@zeroISinfinity You want an experience with the lady in the red dress, right? hehehe

@Mikael89

This is my favorite Alan Watts' lecture

Driving a car must the more transformative experience one can have, to raise the consciousness or to lower it. Hehehe

Why? What happened?

Nice! Thanks for sharing!

@pfletcha Leo's 2 cents are here --->

I want to create video games...

What are you all talking about?. I'm God.

I just realized about that too, thanks for sharing!

The strange loop is fascinating right? The only thing to do is to continue and just "BE"...that's all.

You are Ok @Aakash hehehe... no problem, you are not racist. I think that a preference for women of certain race is not a big deal. IMO the worst part of racism is when it becomes violent. Like those neo-nazis guys that go to churches of black people to shot everyone, or like attacks like the jewish have been enduring due to their race and beliefs. Or like what it happened in my country, that they killed almost all local natives after the spanish invasion. That's a dark part in the history of my country. And I know it happened in other south american countries, like in Peru, Mexico... etc...

But if there were not different races it would be segregation anyway. It happens between white europeans, like if you are saxon or anglosaxon you consider latin whites like inferior, for example white europeans from Spain, Italy, Greece, etc. It will happen anyway and if there's nothing different genetically they will find some problem so they can "differentiate" from others and keep the divide going on. The thing it to keep opposite groups so they can fight and do stupid things, instead of working all together towards a better society.

Hahahaha... nice. That cat is me hehehe...

@Aakash Thank you Aakash!

Well, what I am saying is that spirit = consciousness. @Aakash The "split" is an illusion and is not an split of consciousness. It is an split of "souls" that is not real. Thought creates that "split". I know is a deep matter and probably words are difficult to make them achieve the exact meanings we wanted to give to them. Consciousness is always unified and infinite. The idea of a soul or a separation is what is not real. In my understanding soul is different than spirit. If I do a gross comparison I would say that soul is similar to ego and spirit is similar to God or what IS, being. But soul, in reality doesn't exists and the "split" , "creation" or "multiplicity" is just an illusion, or maya.

I never understood the difference between soul and spirit. Now I think I got it. IMO spirit is God and is the true higher self, only one. And soul is what consciousness we create, like our identity, the thoughts, ideas about "me" or the "I", and that is not true, it's the lower self, the not true self and it doesn't exist. Only God is living all lives and reincarnating on absolutely every creature living. He is all and the only one.

Thoughts are like a program...

Is the intellect that doesn't understand non duality, it says "I can understand it... but... (fill in the blanks)" The intellect is doing the work to create maya. IMO.

@Jkris I think it has more to do with empathy. The enlightened master knows that people who is not still awake suffer and feel suffering as real. I always remember a text from Rumi "God made the Illusion look Real and the Real an Illusion !” — Rumi
