  1. Right. It can be said that we can only imagine what we have accumulated through personal experience anyway. So what you say here seems pretty correct. Thought is never total. Never complete.
  2. Would you say intelligence doesn’t accept or deny, but observes? Intelligence sees.
  3. How would science be different if it went post-rational and post-materialist ? less arguing, less opposition, actual communication without distortion from personal bias/prejudice.
  4. Science is based on thought, psychological becoming is what determines how rational or irrational thought will be. Rational thinking is only as rational as the awareness of its limitation. Namean
  5. Neither man. I’m not disagreeing. Just saying thought has its limits. If we don’t understand those limits thought will cross its own limit without even knowing it did so.
  6. Definitely dude. That’s why understanding the limitations of self is where we start. You are heading in the right direction man. What causes illusion? self. What prevents freedom to understand without bias/illusion? self and it’s psychological seeking. Starting with conclusions leads to illusion. Understanding our own limitation we don’t get caught in the traps of psychological becoming/illusion.
  7. Thought has limits..understanding these limits makes for less distortion/corruption of thought that always seeks security in its own bias. Yep nature of the beast fosho?
  8. I feel ya dude. It can be seen as self conforming to thought to go beyond itself. I get what your saying now. I see your context.
  9. Start with the dual nature of the thinker. Understand the actuality of consciousness as it is now in yourself.
  10. Yeah that’s because thought anticipates the future and the that anticipation is a projection of the past. Thought is prediction according to past. Thought projects what is already know over and over again.
  11. Disregard everything you here ablut ‘true self’ and understand self/ego..Save yourself years of illusion dude.
  12. Start with the content of self dude. The question of who were you before your birth is silly. Start with the psychological. The unknown or prior to birth question comes with freedom.
  13. The known comes to an end. Then there is the unknown, Freedom It’s only a problem to the content that doesn’t want to let go of itself.
  14. It’s not about accepting or resisting. Both can be disguised as evasion of what is. See the falsity of choice. Then that seeing puts a stop to psychological accumulation.
  15. @IngitLearn the art of unlearning brah. There is the learning of remembering for practical purposes and there is the psychological unlearning type of learning. By understanding self/thinkings nature psychological accumulation totally stops dude. Relationship can ninth be cultivated..when this cultivation stops then there can be relationship with ourself and other. Nobody talks about this. I don’t know why
  16. As a good friend once said ”Walking the path of measure only prolongs the burden of measure.”
  17. Getting caught in the illusion of progress hinders progress too. Why wait to see through this falsity dudes. End it today. So gnarly how the intellect feeds itself.
  18. Doing nothing is effortless dudes. Is there motive/desire contradicting itself and does that make it all a chore? Can’t do nothing until we understand doing. The insight into this is huge dudes. The insight underlies all insights.
  19. Understanding the many ways we react to fear. self understanding.
  20. Same as now dude. Like 1 % seem to even listen.
  21. Sharing freedom doesn’t come from desire. There is no “why should I” that determined action. There is no reason that determined action. The action of truth is intelligence and that intelligence feels responsible to act. It’s not that we choose to do anything. That’s the point we don’t choose. Intelligence does what is does.
