Most minds love simplicity. Also, one can not know what is unnecessary complexity without having traversed that landscape and seen their folly, so how can it know when it's being too simple or too complex? You can tell it "Hey, you're being too simple, think harder" or "you're being too complex, don't think as much", but how can the mind even have a good clue as to which is right? Only one way to know.

Your beef is with reality. Play its game and abide by its rules and both you AND reality will be happy. There is no other way out. Doesn't matter if you're 25 or 90. It always asks the same thing. Play by the rules: facilitate evolution. Even if you choose to not facilitate, it will you use as an example to show others what they will become if they shirk the responsibility.

All this shows is that you can be a despised villain of earth and still not have many hoops to jump through to be seen as a peacemaker.

😂Fuckin mirror effect, obviously!

Nah bruh - you can't let them know they have the upperhand. They have to know when push comes to shove, you're the shot-caller. Women actually have a need to be dominated in this way so they can feel safe. (most women) You're dealing with a Christian, which introduces interesting variables. They can be tamed, but it's different. There probably aren't any books out there about it. Let me know if you want to strategize. This is right up my alley. Lol, . "How to convert an evangelical female". I'd have my fucking work cut out for me. I never shy away from a challenge though.

@Inliytened1 What do you make of THIS reality? The everyday reality. Here and now. Is it just an illusion? Is it some sort of purgatory? Some sort of lesser reality?

Princess, you got a person who makes a post on a forum about how their life isn't working out the way they'd like. Then, someone does their best to respond (which is largely the purpose of online forums), and you basically tell the responder they're deluded because they don't operate from your perspective: "You want to save the world, but you can't. Life is expressing itself. Life doesn't need help, it doesn't need anything. It plays itself out. Even your response is also an expression and my comment to you is neither needed nor not needed." It's true, they can't save the world. But that doesn't mean they shouldn't try to respond in a way they feel would be helpful, right? You're cold. Open that heart chakra girl! TF is wrong with you? 😂

Give 20% and let them think it's 45 when it's more like 80.

I've witnessed some crazy shit, but knowing all was never a thing. I've rode light beams across the universe. I've experienced eternity in a single second. I've bent time and space. I've seen literal sound and heard sight. And before all that, I was questioning consciousness since I was 4 years old. But I've never experienced omniscience. Based on all my travels, I feel very safe in saying that if I did experience it, I would chalk it up as either a transient delusion or an interesting truth that isn't compatible with the current reality. Not to diminish the absurdity of it all - it's all absolutely insane and what can be imagined can be witnessed, but when the dust settles and you have to explain your experience and function in the reality before you this very moment, it's irresponsible to cling to your imaginatory revelations. THIS reality YOU are in NOW is THE actual reality that exists. If it's not clear, THIS reality is DOMINANT for A reason. You want to escape it or want it to be different, but reality demands THIS reality be dominant. My middle name is david, btw. lol

It doesn't matter what is happening outside myself right now. Since I'm talking to you, I assume you're a human on some kind of keyboard, because the dream requires that degree of coherence in order to persist. And since you mentioned a "chair", my guess is you're in a chair right now instead of a bed. But these are only abstractions that I come to be aware of as reality provides me this information. Reality reveals the truth of these abstractions as it unfolds. I do not know them before they present themselves. But omniscience is the state of knowing all. So maybe you shouldn't have used the word "omniscient". Maybe should have used a word like "construct-aware"? At the least, admit the word "omniscience" was misused.

It is a dream, and everything is imaginary. Particles are - like everything else in the dream, (including omniscience), imaginary. Particles are part of the dream if you invoke them, same as "omniscience". Back to the here and now: Does your omniscience require inquiry and effort or is your omniscience automatic? If you are truly omniscient inside a reality (that includes me) that has the potential for infinite abstractions within infinite abstractions, then you should be able to tell me about those abstractions that I otherwise wouldn't know without you telling me. So, what did I have for lunch and how did it impact my gut health? If you can't answer, then what exactly do you mean by "omniscient"?

No matter how much I disagree with you, I do like you among the best here. 😆TBH, it's because your profile picture. I can tell who you are from your profile pic alone. Last I recall, you were going through a rough time, so I hope all is well now. All good? Onto the substance: You cannot know reality fully and completely. If you could, can you tell me the exact position and composition of every particle in my body? If you can't, can you explain why? Could you answer this question even from your highest altered state? Obviously, you cannot answer these questions. Maybe you will answer "Those are just abstractions that don't exist, therefore not knowable." Weak, but ok. Thing is, I know that when I cease to exist, everything ceases to exist. But I know that I cannot cease to exist because I'm all there is and all that ever will be. But I get no special privilege from this knowledge. So what benefit is gained by knowing this? OP asked "What's the point?" What do you gain? Aside from some special subjective feeling? NOTHING! That's all there is 😂! You gain absolutely nothing except some idea. Some knowing how the magic trick works. I'm open to being wrong.

It's about time Schizo clued us in on all his mysterious ramblings. Interesting and plausible, but they don't hold up or are at least insufficient, as was Freud. Good and interesting insights to explore- but psychological coherence? No. It's true that childhood attention seeking strategies persists into adulthood, but the whole psycho-sexual frame is clearly absurd. @Schizophonia - move past Freud. You have a good foundation and good intuition, but Freud is keeping you stuck. You have to look at human psychology from your own analytic lens. Don't presuppose the pioneers got it right. They didn't. You have to take from multiple pioneers, and even more importantly, your own observations, so you don't get locked into a paradigm you didn't create. It's great to see how other paradigms comport with reality (which you do exceptionally well), but you also have to see where they fail. That benchmark has to come from your own observation of the subject matter. You're still young. Just watch humans for the next 2-3 years with no framework. Maybe your own framework will emerge. That's the path the other pioneers took. If the predominant psychologist of the time gets hung up on sexuality, of course it will seep into the psychological theory.

You can't fully understand reality. The whole pursuit is neurotic. Even if you could, you're a human. So guess what, you're understanding would amount to that of understanding how David Copperfield moves mountains. Once the magic trick is revealed, the magic is no longer magic. Back to reality. Which is why they say "chop wood carry water" before AND after enlightenment. This concept is important. What do you think you're going to achieve with some "mental recognition" or some "mental knowing"? All you have is some "special knowledge" from your meditation or psychedelic cushion that 99% of people could care less about. You can sit there and yell "YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND" for a few years until you get tired. Reality itself is entirely magical. Obviously. And you can be absolutely thrilled by it. But to hope to possess some special knowing that others don't have access to - then you're heading into psychosis. Even if you did reach that point, your best play is to keep your mouth shut and just appreciate the magic. As soon as you start professing how much you know about the magic, it's time to begin an entirely new inquiry.

When a fellow human makes a communication to other humans that they're life seems hopeless, what is the proper response? Is it to stay quiet and be indifferent because it's all a fiction? You seem to provide no value beyond telling others how they responded poorly, so I want to know specifically, what is the proper response, from your paradigm? How would you respond, human-to-human, to a human who said to you "hey Princess - I'm feeling like my life is hopeless and I'm having a hard time figuring out how to move forward".
