Well..if it can lets see if the "America party" comes about...these guys are a hoot. Maybe Joe Rogan should run for Pres next time... I mean.. he is an idiot and he's got the popularity. That's what got Trump in right? Musk is such a power hungry goon. I don't think he even needs drugs to make his silly brain tick. He's just a freak out the gate.

In both cases you have to shut off a part of the mind to stop the suffering. You don't have to treat it directly. That's why through deep meditation you can release both types of suffering. Both physical and mental source from the ego. What mindfulness meditation aims to do is to shut off that part of the ego completely. If it's nullified there is no suffering. But then what is there, just raw Being. Think about this...on top of raw Being what we really are doing as egos is suffering. Like you said - for everyone there is a certain degree. But really it's all suffering. There are moments of pleasure but that's why people turn to drugs and alcohol. To stop the suffering. If the degree is low enough you can get by. But once it gets intense you have to find some mechanism.

Yeah I guess they are both anguish in their own way. Yet mental suffering would seem much more difficult to untangle because it is often not surface level. With surface level pain at least you are not in the hell of your own mind.

It can be transcended. I'm not saying i suffer from chronic pain but if you do that is a different type of suffering. It's not a psychological suffering or torment. A person can live with that. Psychological torment is far worse. Again I'm not saying I have to deal with chronic pain but in most cases that can be fixed. Mental suffering is something far more complex

Theres no such thing as physical suffering. There is pain and there is suffering. Two different things. Ask a guy with ALS if he's euffering...he'll tell you its not the outlook he wants to have on life.

@PurpleTree Money can't buy government. Someone needs to tell him this. He has a bigger head than Trump. If it's possible.

That's all this is., It's a rat race. But there is time to stop and smell the roses if you bother to use your brain. If you bothered to use your brain and try a little you wouldn't be homeless. The governement is not that messed up.

Get a room.

@Michael Paul in reading @Nilsi it.seems like he engaged AI.

Well..God is all of that and more. God is Perfection. Think about what that means. If you want to label God you cannot. If you want to say that all is God's will you would be correct. And if you want to say all of it isn't God's will you would also be correct. God must be paradoxical in this way because God is all things and more. And less. But you're right about Infinity. There must be existence although for something to truly be infinite it must also be able to not exist. Yet the thought of infinity exists so you have a paradox within infinity. Paradox must be embraced here. And the moral of this story is that existence is Infinity. And this is absolutely mind blowing because it has the capacity to literally create itself. To bootstrap itself. But why do you equate infinity to free will among humans? That's a big jump. Yes. God has nowhere to go..I guess that's the true trap he puts himself in..He's so almighty that he can't eacape.himself or erase his own existence. But in fact there is a way for that. Can God destroy itself? Yes. The paradox holds up and has a resolution because God can simply not exist by going unconscious. Into an Absolute void. Not a void of emptiness but of actual nothingness. I believe its called a cessation in spiritual circles. I have not experienced it and it cannot be fathomed. But it exists. Or doesn't exist. It doesn't exist. . So..is there anything else you want from Infinity? Or from God? I think God will be able to accommodate 😀

I guess you don't have a vision. There's one thing about Trump. He's crazy lucky. Somehow I feel the economy will end up ahead at the end of all this and we'll just have to reverse some of his dictator like policies. Fine. The question is - is there a Democrat that's going to step up and what are they going to do to improve the life for the average middle class American? The keep us out of wars part is clear...and the wall..well...I think they should build on not letting just anyone in. But what about the economy. What will they do to make things more affordable?

Too binary again. Leave the whole thing open.

Yeah. I wanted the useless dems out so bad that I sold my soul. But I have since bought it back. So now what. The options suck.

Science can't explain everything. Nor can logic. Take care not to strip reality of its mystery. That's part of the magic of reality.

It's built via distinctions. This chair and me. The room and "me". Air. "Me". If I collapsed all of that there would be Absolute Truth. But I'm not going to collapse the difference between the couch and me right now so that I can have this existence I'm attached to. Reality is made up of differences. This doesn't have anything to do with meaning. Meaning is something we choose to place on something. We place value on something for some reason. And that reason may be abstract. We cannot openly put our finger on why in all cases. Why does someone fall in love with one person and not another, for example? What is the difference between the two individuals?

My point was you are trying to make it binary. It's not binary. I was just using it as an example. Don't worry - I love you brother I don't ever want to see you go. However I do find that sometimes you leave things to ones and zero's a bit too much. Most of the stuff here is very abstract

Let go of the meaning if it's just "relationships". What is the meaning of the forum to you? Is it the relationship between you and the internet? Some of the meanings we place on things may run deep in the subconscious mind. You put meaning here. May i ask why and what relationship it involves?

Leave the forum now and don't ever come back. You place meaning here. Drop it now. Let's see how it easy that is for you to do. It's just a relationship. With what? You and the internet? Some of the meanings we place and where we place them run deep in the subconscious mind.

So try to see the metaphysical Oneness but don't let that stop you from seeing the individual. The individual is most likely crying out for acceptance. And if they aren't they want attention in some way.

I think as we explore this you know what comes to my mind? That metaphysics is a separate domain. And yet it isn't. Oneness is a separate domain and yet it intersects here in an indirect sort of way..and its about how you react to others and how you treat others that really matters in the end. The knowledge of Oneness is a gift that should be cherished. When you look upon others you see yourself. When they look upon you they mostly see what stands between them and you. But that's OK because you can appreciate the Oneness if no one else can.

There is no physical body either. Take it farther.

That's hard to do in the real world though. To wear your heart on your sleeve like that.

Good stuff. Be completely open. And vulnerable. Guess that's true courage.

No. What i mean is i might worry about being too short or too ugly and then I see a guy that can't even breath on his own. And yet he still looks at the glass half full. That's courage. We should all learn from that. Thats what oneness is about.

You want to make the best out of this experience right, My advice is to appreciate what you have. That is making the best out of this experience.
