"A ghost" is more punchy to the ego. It's flavor.

Do you have different ideas about god?

We use clock time to coordinate events and schedule our days. There can be better ways, but we haven't discovered better ways, yet.

That's really cute.

By the way, asking whether time exists is stupid. Time is practical and helps survival whether or not it exists. Asking whether free will exists is also stupid. What are you going to do if free will doesn't exist?

There are different degrees of infinity. Real numbers are a larger subset of numbers than integers. Leo would say that there is no difference between finitude and infinity. If love is infinite and hate is also infinite, we might feel that love is finite. That's my intuition.

Leo is equal to Joe Rogan in terms of fame.

You most likely don't want unconditional love. Only god is capable of unconditional love. But, you need to learn to love more and better. As Leo Gura said, when in doubt, just love more.

You don't have only financial needs but also many other non-financial needs you may depend on others to fulfill. Find specific concrete ways to help others. Start small. As time goes, upgrade yourself and upgrade the ways in which you help others. As you evolve, you will be able to tackle bigger problems. The ability to solve bigger problems unlocks bigger opportunities to help others. In my mind, anyone whom you micro-manage micro social transactions with is a frenemy. As soon as he stops helping you, you can easily start hating him. It's easy to convince yourself otherwise when shits are going well. When shit hits the fan, all noble ideals go out the window.

Spiritual bypassing happens when you avoid solving your problems by resorting to spirituality and acceptance. It is a form of laziness. Most of you still need to solve problems at lower stages of spiral dynamics. If you bypass problems at lower stages and resort to spirituality and acceptance, you will end up subconsciously dealing with those problems. It is better to put those problems under the light of consciousness and take care of your shit consciously. You become more spiritual by solving your problems more consciously instead of avoiding them. Clean up your diet. Do you want to let your subconscious habits take control over your diet? Do you want to take conscious control of your diet? Are you going to just accept that your eating habits are bad and avoid working on the problem? Figure out why your relationships suck Exercise Work on discipline ... Devil is real tricky. It uses spirituality to justify laziness, unconscious habits, etc, ...

You want to convince yourself that you are an angel while you are not. Awareness of your selfishness prevents you from perceiving yourself as an angel, and you don't like it. A devil wants to perceive itself as an angel. You need a higher source of motivation. Be someone who wants to help others rather than help only yourself. Upgrade your motivation. Work towards meeting your needs through your efforts. When you meet your needs through your efforts, you will become less selfish. Don't beat yourself up for being selfish. It helps perpetuate your selfishness. A devil loves to beat itself for being a devil. Work towards finding ways to help others and creating value for others. When your boyfriend pays for a meal, be grateful for his service instead of beating yourself up for being selfish or calculating your social ledger. I can see that the devil in you calculates social ledger very differently from others. When your social ledger has a lot of debt, you are running your brain at full speed to convince yourself that your ledger has little or no debt. You do that because you want to perceive yourself as an angel who other people are in debt to. Just accept that you have debt, and work towards helping others. Pay it forward. It seems that you are already formulating an emergency exit plan for your current relationship and that you consider him as a strategic frenemy rather than actually try to form a genuine relationship with him. I can understand that. It's exhuasting to keep a frenemy nearby. Forming a genuine relationship requires letting go of micro-managing social ledger and of certain micro-level controls.

@Knock If the wind carries your piss into another guy's face, you might face adverse consequences. Watch out.

Maybe, other men are jealous and insecure.

Are you a man or a woman?

Promises for the future are illusions. They are often deliberate lies or just imaginations. When someone promises a sweet return on investment, doubt the person. When people claim they are experts, most of the time, they are just beginners. Don't believe words. Examine their expertise and their track records. Next time, when someone claims expertise, don't believe the person. When a person comes to you, introduces oneself as an expert, and demands payment, seriously doubt that person. Real experts make people come. They don't go visit people. Amateurs are desperate enough to chase after people. Don't believe every story you read or hear. Don't be gullible.

Because US presidents are glorified wardens.

Don't trust governments. They will try to lock you down. Is trump trying to lock down immigrants, americans, or both? The answer is both. The cages are coming to americans soon. Trump is a warden. US president is a warden.

Everyone having fun in this thread?

This is infrastructure for success.

The moderators also deleted possibly duplicate threads without notifying me. They seemed very eager to censor every little harmless thing they didn't like. I stopped using their forums.

This quote means personal development carries on after enlightenment. How do you develop yourself after enlightenment?

I can see that videos can be more useful to me than forums.

I was busy talking with ajasatya. I cannot handle multiple conversations. Since enlightenment is a very long process, I want basic personal development to be done separately from enlightenment although personal development and enlightenment overlap.

The goal is to help myself to the point where I become self-sufficient, become a master, and look for ways to help others with my skills while also helping myself. Since I don't want to reveal my personal information, I don't want to reveal details of my goals. I can tell you about the big picture. I cannot give you any fundamentally different answers for now.
