Because I didn't understand at the time that relationships are going to have rocky times but you just don't walk away, even if sometimes you feel like it. I expected man and woman to get along all the time and always be on the same page. And when that didn't happen I didn't want to deal with it. Or her. But I didn't know what a relationship was. That's why its so important not to get into one until you are ready. No to the other question, once it was done it was done. Years later she saw me again somewhere and was willing to go on another date. But I was like a new person to her. We didn't end up getting back. I am with someone else now.

The crazy thing was that in the relationship she was deeply in love with me teetering on the point of obsession (we were together 3 years) and I completely took her for granted. I am the one who ended it. Then when I realized what I had lost everything completely switched. She shut me off like I was dead in an instant. What I was to her before had died for her, in fact.

Yeah. The one that really got me took 9 or 10 honestly.

You are talking apples to oranges here 😀.

Animals do not have a concept of past or present, living or dying -they exist purely in the moment. They also do not have the ability to self reflect. So yes they live more aligned with just Being but its not because of intelligence it's because they have less intelligence. We should be more like them in trying to live in the present moment. Us humans let the monkey mind run out of our control due to more intelligence. But this doesn't mean enlightenment doesn't exist.

Couldn't agree more i am living experience of it.

I had a breakup so bad I suffered for years but I believe it was a key factor in my enlightenment when I sat down to meditate. It was deep deep suffering for years. It is a form of spiritual growth. Go through it like Leo said. It will grow you. BTW it took me about 9 years or so to get over that person. Time helps.

We like to think that someday we will see what's behind the scenes. What's objective. Whatever that "behind the scenes" means to you. The trees, when no one is there, or looking through the eyes of your mother. But the reality is we never will. Even if you think death is real. Especially if you think death is real. You will NEVER see what is behind the scenes. What is behind the scenes will be exactly what it is - behind the scenes - for eternity. The key to realizing Solpsism is to realize that to see what is behind the scenes will never actually come. Which means it does not exist outside imagination.

If all you have is mind, then mind becomes real by default because there is no alternative. By mind just think not material.

Haha. Putin is indeed a little devil 😈

Haha. Naw we ain't!

So we can agree its not atoms 😀 I like our common ground.

The dream is the self.

@Breakingthewall your argument falls apart because all i have to say to counter is that there is nothing to prevent the possibility that it could be imaginary. Not being able to break the laws of physics is not an acceptable justification.

@Inliytened1 Again why is that preventing you from seeing it is imaginary. Just because you can't break the laws? If you were God designing this and you wanted it to stick - wouldn't you make it so you couldn't. I mean that would be logical to you right. So why couldn't this be the case.

It comes down to materialism vs idealism. When you realize its Mind everything changes. Because if its made of dream stuff than for everyone to have their own experiences they would have to be on islands of isolation. Which is the Infinity of Gods. But inside a single dream it doesn't make sense.

I can turn this around to say it is conceptualized that others are.

Its an awakening. It's not something you can conceptualize.

If you wanna break down solipsism come to my thread. We can have an open dialogue.

Still in denial eh. Athiest.

Deep inside women need the right sexual connection. If they can orgasm by you - you have her locked in. If they can't orgasm by you, meaning they need to get off some other way, then you will never have them as a man. So you're right, if you were to become lame you would slowly lose her over time. That's just the way it is.

Precisely. And yet we still find a way to screw it up. Leave it to men. And you will leave the lights on.

It means that you are alone as God imagining everything. But that nothing would prevent there from being other God's imagining stuff too. An infinite amount of them. You could only imagine these other Gods, but that they could potentially exist outside your imagination and that you would have no way of validating it. Anything in your dream though, is imaginary. And you can't even escape that you would be imagining other Gods. So. Yeah imagine a hot witch girlfriend and take her home. Fuck it.

@Mellowmarsh your name is nice it just took me by surprise. Sorry if I came off any kind of way. Anyways. As far as no self goes -ah it's odd that you think you can have an ego but nobody's home. My claim is that the you is embedded into your current state of consciousness but if you were to lose such a state you would lose your..... And I mean all of you. It would be difficult to even post here. There would be a lack of the sense of you. Almost like a robot just going through the motions. You would essentially be depersonalized.

Exactly. This is beautiful.
