@arlin And on top of that all the non canonical books that were dismissed by the Churches. They always wanted us to believe that the Gospel of Thomas was written years after Christ was born. Now it is beginning to surface that is one of the earlier versions of the gospel. But anyway they are being still dismissed, sadly.

Thanks Ivan! These pointers will help me a lot. Appreciate it man!

I don't agree with banning either. But if someone is pointing to a belief that is not from direct experience. Probably I will try to show him his error. The problem is not in the bible but in the interpretation that religious people give to it, like believing in all sorts of magical thinking. Most of it very similar to new agey stuff, but... they are not conscious of that. Religion is as deluded as new age yada yada yada...

Thanks Ivan... I got you now. Yes, we all have those fears. But my worst fear until now was to lost sense of my identity hahaha... it happened to me once when I was waking up and it was like nuts. Now I am more prepared, the day that it happened was before being in actualized,org, I was really lost. Didn't have and understood anything about religion, I was completely lost. But anyway is pretty scary to be just awareness, for the ego... right?

That's great news @mandyjw I think it's possible to get that tax exempt status. Nice... Keep us updated!

How you do that?

That's what I was talking about, thanks @Knock !!! Very interesting article indeed. We forget parts of our experience and we fill the blanks to make it logical, but not necessarily true.

I don't "have" thoughts! There's no thinker of thoughts!!!! ???

What would happen if the brain interpreted reality different? How would you know which one is the correct interpretation? Or if everyone perceived reality distorted, would they think it is distorted or normal?

This other video is more "educational" :-)

?

??? Oh... the truth that cannot be spoken ?

Why are you bullying the kid?

Did you see this video @Gabriel Antonio on Ted?

Lol

The stroboscopic thingy got my interest, look what I found. It's incredible how easy is to distort reality Try this... https://strobe.cool/

Yahveh

Right now they have discovered in another experiment that there's no objective reality. "Physicists have long suspected that quantum mechanics allows two observers to experience different, conflicting realities. Now they’ve performed the first experiment that proves it." https://www.technologyreview.com/s/613092/a-quantum-experiment-suggests-theres-no-such-thing-as-objective-reality/

Amazing! I am in shock only to read what you posted. But I think you are in the real thing.

You are welcome ivan, you opened my eyes about that... didn't have idea. It's fascinating. I found another one!

@ivankiss Osho talks about the crystallized self, did you read about that before? https://o-meditation.com/2012/10/28/a-crystallized-self-vs-a-big-strong-ego-osho/

We have to do what we feel is best... no one can tell us what to do.

St. John of the Cross wrote about it in "The Dark Night of the Soul". It's part of the process of the death of the ego (or the denial of the false self). But that's not enlightenment, that's the process to reach enlightenment or salvation. Now for me it makes a lot of sense some passages on the Bible where it says Psalm 23:4 "Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me." Now it makes sense to me that the path to salvation is full of darkness. That's why that Psalm is there helping you to cross that path and reach salvation (enlightenment.) You don't have to fear nothing, the ego will try to avoid you to reach enlightenment at all costs!!! Same thing happened to Jesus when he went to the dessert to confront the devil (ego).

@ivankiss when you talked about the stroboscopic effect I found this on youtube. I didn't know how it worked until now...

@ivankiss Thanks a lot for sharing that! Incredible... really really I am in shock, I can image what could have been for you. OMG. The Matrix is here. I need Neo! And Morpheus!!! And Trinity!!! Thanks again for sharing!!!!
