@Danioover9000 but did you consider the fact that they may have feared HAMAS would overstep just like EVERYONE else had done to them in the past? Wouldn't you too in that scenario shut down? It's hard to cast judgement when you havent walked in their shoes. It's easy to sit from a distance and say how they should have acted but in the actual scenario it's not always that simple. Would HAMAS have cooperated? You're making assumptions if you say they would have. There is always a bad seed in the apple.

God is not imagination. It is that but on a higher level God is the thing that imagines. You can awaken God or Consciousness is fhe thing that makes the dreams. It's the substance of all the dreams. And it can be realized. So saying God just exists as part of this dream doesn't add up unless you are under the illusion of the dream

That's fair.

You can't compare this to the holocaust. I just watched the series "we were the lucky ones" which I highly recommend. It's a really good insight to what they went through. It's terrifying. How they tricked Jews into thinking they were going back to Israel only to be stopped along the way to dig their own graves. Horrifying. Yes - many will say violence isn't the answer and that Israel overstepped. I'm in agreement with that. But also you have to appreciate what Israel has been through to keep their land and people. It has been a struggle. So before you cast judgement from your couch maybe see it from both sides.

He's very one sided. There's no understanding of both sides. Hamas wants the land, fine - attack and kill. But now that Israel retaliated with a vengeance its all their fault for going too far. Yes - they did. And some of us have admitted that. But by God dude, if you want to be intelligent don't show it with fancy vocabulary. Show it via empathy and understanding for both peoples and stop hating on Israel. Enough. How can we resolve this should be the discussion not who is wrong or right.

He's the real deal. He does understand Consciousness He's not arrogant at all - you are seeing what you want to see. Perhaps it's your disdain for Buddhism. You should lose that, by the way.

Yet you sit back in your arm chair and judge. Having never fled a damn thing. Or have been made to fled anything. Try to rationalize a women scorned. It's a difficult thing to do unless you've stepped into her shoes. And I can assure you sir, that you have not.

No you wouldn't. It could be a lot worse. They could have dropped the bomb. Lucky for you they're too close.

@tuku747 man fhat really gives you a taste of infinity Well done!

Or mediation.......

You are dreaming this. You need to awaken. Now you can counter this by saying that awakening is just part of this dream. Guess there is only one way to find out. Only you can answer.

You're gonna end up the same..but doing it wisely will cause less suffering. I however, am a proponent of suffering because it carries with it growth. So..totally up to you. But of you brute force shit with no intelligence it's gonna be painful but actually leads to greater intelligence and wisdom in fhe end. It's a mind fuck.

Don't turn into a materialist on us. I'll eat you with the cartoon wolf. It's either imaginary or its not. Now what you can do with that- that's endless.

Congratulations brother. I'm so happy for you. Be a good father. Take care of your son and be there for him. Having a son is one of the most precious things in the universe. (Having a daughter just might top it but considering I have two boys I don't know). But appreciate this moment brother there aren't many of them.

If imagination literally is reality..then it's both true and also not. You see. So yes it must be realized at the Absolute level to awaken but then you realize all things are Absolute. So it ultimately depends on perspective. His best video was probably "is reality absolutely perspectival" or something like that.... "Reality is ultimately whatever the hell you want it to be - not figuratively but literally" -- the drunken sage

Haha

@Water by the River "there's no person its just Being! A collection of senses- but the idea that there is a you is entirely constructed 😀 kind of amazing that God can create the entire universe out of a collection of sensations!" -- the drowning Buddah

Not knowing bursts into Infinity. Infinity then not-knows. Such is the cycle of God. The human body is but a vessel of expression. A finite expression of God. But God can express in so many ways - infinite ways. It could be a dumb blind bat or a somewhat smart monkey. But it chose a human so that it could fully express itself and also reunite But we are dumb to the highly advanced extraterrestrial. We are mere breadcrumbs in its daily diet..our intelligence and wisdom are no different than an ant would be different from a human.

@tuku747 yes. That is it. Solipsism doesn't mean that others don't exist. The dream is other. But also you should not forget that it is still a dream. That is what makes it more enjoyable. Because here in this paradigm you realize that death too must be an illusion. So while you can embrace other you still know that ultimately it is all you this allows you to both experience the fullness and the reality of the dream as reality. But also knowing that it is a dream and that you are God.

Well of course. That is the essence of solipsism. When we imagine others it is nothing else but our own mind. But it is not delusion. It is the dream.

He's so boring. You really lack for nothing with Leo.

Everything is now. I never said otherwise. I said you were saying that imagination was delusion. Imagination is now. Imagination is what everything is around you. And everything that isn't. It is total.

It does but so what. Maybe anxiety can be embraced? If you only realize that this is an illusion of the mind can you both embrace and transcend. Meaning feel fucking free to imagine but realize it comes with a price..the price of fooling yourself. But also know that you cam rise above that and thus should not dismiss anything at all.

But beginners don't know this stuff. So you teaching advanced material will trap them. This is part of the problem with Phil's forum. There is no appreciation for that.
