@Javfly33 that's an awesome story. Not all children are existential like that and possibly you were marked for this work ? mine was more of this strange loop thing were I really took time to wonder if this (my life) was happening in someone's eye or mind, and for some reason I would imagine Tom and Jerry, the cartoon, and imagine that as I'm watching the cartoon, my existence was appearing inside Tom's big yellow eye. ?‍♂️ I dunno, something like that, I was a strange kid.

Sounds like you are looking for an excuse to stop seeking God, or acceptance for being stage blue or green, which by the way you're welcome to do/be. You will be loved. (and also, you're the one who sounds emotional....)

Just found this awesome app on android. It lets you record mantras or affirmations in your own voice, and then play it on a loop to a selection of background music for up to 59 minutes! This is exactly what I asked for earlier last year and it's so awesome to see it manifested... I'm in awe... For those that like multiple affirmations in one setting : There's currently no option to string together multiple affirmation recordings into some kind of custom session, but you can easily just record a long string of affirmations and set it to music. I can not wait to play around with this, as I originally wanted to use it for lucid dream induction but the possibilities are endless!!! The app itself seems to be called Mindwire, but to find it on Google play, it's called 'positive affirmations maker' by hillsidemonk.

I wonder if maybe your question requires the assumption of a timeline, and is about (insert blank here ) which does not exist, in time. Or, it's just all holistically actual, direct, and now. The end of time merging with the beginning of time. What time?

@Beginner Mind @Beginner Mind Well on your way to find food, you step under a tree and a bird shits on your head. There can be surrendering to the circumstance, or it can ruin your day. If it ruins your day and you find your food, are you getting the full sustenance? Is the food as sweet when you are focused on your bad day?

So subtle ????

@Beginner Mind If you want to sit in the couch, you can. Do it long enough and you might die. Or you can go out, get some bread and water, and see what's going on outdoors. Either scenario can include total surrender.

lol yeah, as I was typing it I realized that "unburdened" is a condition I was applying. But I still like what I typed so i kept it

@Preetom ok well then.... Happiness is a concept. Many are searching for it but are actually searching for a twisted deluded concept of it. If there is happiness, it is the ubburdened freedom and joy of a child at play. And we are all a bunch of children playing adults.

well, maybe the question is... is there any such thing as happiness beyond a chemical reaction? (which is basically an illusion, even materialists shouldn't deny that)

@Bill W or he's talking about resurrection

This forum is an echo chamber. Sometimes the shit hits the fan. Then it trickles down on our heads and some might get something out of it. Those who have ears let them hear. In other words, sometimes the bullshit is a better teacher than the teachers.

@SoonHei full disclosure: I may have intuited that answer

I recently discovered arbitrary Code Execution, seems pretty awesome especially when done inside a video game.. But not sure if it applies to your question

You are intuition. Anything else is a false chatter. When the chatter stops, even for a few seconds, intuition can be, well, intuited.

@Nahm geez... What did you just teach? ?

Strictly speaking in story... 'you' become nothing every night, in order to become something else- the dream self (for nightly dreams). It's just that usually you are unconscious during this process. Although we might be talking about different things ?

@ryuzaki I agree I think self aware is the better term.. And I think it's possible. They can already make AI that learns. Now they just need to make it reflect, or that might be a natural progression after a certain amount of time. In other words, I think it can be dreamed up.

From Feb 2019 Kind of all over the place. Remember being in some church type setting and there was this competition going on about shooting these small creatures in robes as they come toward you. I joked about how it was good practice for when the zombies come. My dad was some judge of the contest and all these people moved on to the cooking round but I wasn't allowed, even though I aced the first test. I felt a sense of being unwanted, and even the other contestants laughed at me. At one point my dad walked me to a mirror and said look at it and I said I saw Morgan freeman. He then made it clear that I was unwelcome and I said that I won't be there for church service and he agreed and told me to be home for dinner. I planned on flying home, and stopping at (my friend) Patsy's on the way. I get a message from her that she''s started my new dream video, and I respond wondering if she likes it or if it needed tweaking. Somehow between me and outside where I can fly home is a restaurant area and I have to squeeze through a window above where a couple of people are eating. There is stuff in the window like glasses and hat and biker type stuff that I have to hand down to the man who is eating there. He's nice and takes it while I try to get through the window, and his girlfriend agrees with me that they can probably just take the stuff because it's been there for "as long as we've all been going to that restaurant." Alarm goes off

@King Merk even bigger mindfuck, how did Helen Keller think? And learn to read and write?

I don't want to click on a random link... What is it?

Oops wrong thread

How do deaf people think? (deaf from birth)

It's definitely a nice fan theory.
