Deliberately so. It's always for me, first and foremost. And then for anyone else who sees it fit. I am always criticising myself first, in all of my posts. When I point towards and call out 'you'... I am really calling out myself. Fair enough. Again, not meant to resonate with everyone. I do not necessarily disagree with what you're saying... I just know I dug myself out of a deep and dark enough hole, without relying on any external 'fixes', so I can stand behind what I'm saying here. What I had to do, is gather all my courage and willpower, and walk through the fire that was burning in me. It had nothing to do with anything or anyone else but me and my willingness to heal. So yes, very bluntly put: balls. And obviously so much more than just that, but you seem to overlook it. All the best to you.

It's just not something you can calculate or brute force. Usually, when you really want it to come, it does not.

Yes, also, but making art is not exactly like German auto engineering. It's not something you can calculate and brute force, and have amazing results. It requires unspeakable commitment and dedication. Patience. Sacrifice. Knowing when it's not time and when it is time to create. And so on. That's where the real pain is, I'd say. Because it's not something you can achieve just by consistent hard work. This knowing is not easy to bear for the artist. Sure, the hard work aspect is still there... but true art... that requires far more than just hard work. Not just blood, sweat and tears... but also some magic. I personally know quite a few artists, who are very consistently making art... that is bad.

This got me thinking a bit... And yes... yes there is. It's Will. Infinite Will, in fact, that everyone has access to, at all times. Just not before they realize they do.

I guess I would enjoy a drink or two with those fellas! @Thought Art Appreciate it. @Razard86 Hurt people hurt people. Nothing to do with material possession. Fear is intelligence, too. If you ignore fear when you really shouldn't, you're simply dumb. There's nothing to fear and there's everything to fear... but I think that's more suitable for another sub - forum.

Me too. Less talking more walking.

@Ahbapx Some escape and build walls to find safety and heal, too. It's all good. I'm mainly poking at those who know it's time to tear the walls down and stop hiding. To gather some courage and face some uncomfortable shit. Of course it's not relevant to everyone.

@Ahbapx Fair point. But you also do need balls to face certain feelings. I am obviously being a bit comical here, and that might come across as being insensitive. But if you read deeper into what I'm saying, there is a valid message there. Not just balls.

Music is a good pointer. Most emotionally crippled people are here. While a very rare few, emotionally mature and sophisticated beings are here.

@gettoefl Possibly and dangerously over - simplifying it, but cool.

Nope. That's delusion and if taken all the way it will fuck you up bad. Also, no such thing as 'my consciousness'. That's your 'ego' trying to get a slice of the cake. It's just consciousness, dude. This whole NPC story... it's not healthy for ya. And it's also not true.

When black is no longer needed in order to know white... When down is no longer needed in order to know up... When this is no longer needed in order to know that... When you are no longer needed in order to know me... When pain and suffering are no longer needed in order to know joy and peace... When darkness is no longer needed in order to know Light... When falsehood is no longer needed in order to know Truth... When death is no longer needed in order to know life... When everything is no longer needed in order to know nothing... That is the ultimate liberation of being. That is pure isness, which does not know itself through opposition, rather through the obviousness of its own existence. Consciousness needs no opposite in order to be conscious of itself. Opposition is only necessary while it seems like there is something other than consciousness in existence. Once that final barrier collapses, all there is is one, infinite, conscious Beingness.

God is outrageous! Just look at all these disagreements on this forum... yet there is no actual opposition of any kind going on. It's crazy! All opposites secretly compliment each - other. It all fits perfectly.

The opposite is a thought. No such thing in actuality. In actuality, what there is, is consciousness. Presence. Being. Perceiving, feeling, and thinking (of opposition, or anythingelse for that matter) 99.99% of shit that bugs you guys... falls into the thought category. And you're not even aware of it. You believe it's more than just another thought. You believe it's real. Hilarious. And quite tragic, too.

@Breakingthewall Yes, that sounds good. Very nice. Although it could be said that life has an opposite, and it's death. But existence/being/consciousness transcends this life and death duality. Consciousness has no opposite.

@Yousif My bad. For a second I actually thought you might be half - awake. Hence my efforts. Honest mistake.

@Yousif There is no inclusion or exclusion either... you are getting way too lost in thought. Hence all the paradoxes. Do you need to include or exclude anything in order to be conscious right now? No. It's already the case. Effortlessly so. And nothing is opposing it. End of story.

@Yousif Brosif you're full of shit and you need to stop for your own good

@Yousif No brosif. You are clinging to the relative, that is why you fight what's being said. My philosophy is: build yourself up, define and create the reality you want to experience... but also be able to see through it all and know that it's all mist ultimately. All nothing. Do live the ordinary human life - if you will. But know that ultimately there is only consciousness.

I like how you guys think this is even debatable... There already are no opposites, in actuality. It already is the case. The only way it can seem like there is an opposite, or as you like to put it 'the finite within the infinite' is by distorting the purity of the whole. It's delusion.

Fools... There are no opposites, no duality, no sides, no coins. Only direct consciousness, right now.

Infinite infinities is still just infinity.

That's like saying the ocean includes the drop. There is no drop dude. It's all just the ocean.

A rational, linear, limited, human little mind might think that. A scientist, even. Infinity, is not quite like that though, thank God. It all already is, brosif. And this is all there is.

Here: False. There is no unconsciousness, actually. If what is said in the original post is understood and actualized, there are no sides and no coin. That's just spiritual fairytales.
