It's in your imagination -

The brain is a part of consciousness So, your question properly rephrased is: "How can we be sure that consciousness is not generated by consciousness?" And the answer is that consciousness IS generated by consciousness, it's a strange loop. In fact, consciousness is the only thing that can generate anything. Consciousness = existence In other words, consciousness generates itself, or you could also say consciousness is made of nothing. This is not always the case. You can throw a ball at a window and the window will break, no significant change in brain activity required. Just consciousness interacting with itself, as usual. Consciousness is constantly interacting with itself, whether it be a hammer to your head or a ball to the window. This is nothing new. -
Sexuality seems to be a very malleable and flexible thing, much more than society tends to give it credit for I wouldn't overthink it, and I wouldn't be too fast to put myself in boxes like "gay" or "straight". Sexuality can be way more nuanced than that, and it's really not worth panicking over these labels just cause you watch something out of the ordinary once in a while. I've seen transgender women who are basically indistinguishable from non-transgender women. It's really not that weird. Also yeah, you can try no-fap if you want, it could help a bit with stabilizing your sexual desires and maybe even becoming more intimate with them. Just make sure to commit to it, and make sure not to watch porn or edge yourself during it, it kind of ruins the progress IME. This is also pretty likely. A self-fulfilling prophecy.

Reminds me of psychedelics

When people get mad they will probably try to harm you somehow, so the goal is to prevent harm, whether it is physical or mental. You can do this by distancing yourself from them or somehow reducing their anger. If a cat is angry at you, they're probably too low consciousness to understand any form of communication, unless you're good at communicating with cats. In that situation, best to get away from it. A similar situation can happen with actual people.

pretty sure he does You can't see machine elves on DMT? You sure? Idk about that, I don't watch his channel much. From what I gathered he just sees 434 as a synchronicity of some sort. He has an entire video on God where he doesn't mention 434 being god so I doubt he said that

I think your current answer is a good one I think hanging out with lower consciousness people is a similar dynamic to having a pet, like a cat. Why have a pet cat if it is lower consciousness than you? Because there are still aspects of it you can enjoy.

This is very interesting to me. If you think about it, your body actually kind of disappears when you close your eyes, you just imagine it to be there. The only thing that is left of your body when your eyes are closed is the sensations that we associate with "body". Lol -

You need to realize that no matter what you experience, others are ALWAYS IMAGINARY. "Other" cannot exist as anything other than imagination. If it does exist as something other than imagination, then it is not what you call "other" anymore. You can't have any experience of "other" if it isn't imagination. There is no "other" without imagination, that's the only way the experience of "other" will function. Even if we assume that there are multiple experiences happening right now, "others" will always be imaginary in those experiences, because it cannot exist as anything else. When you say that you want others to be "real", you're completely disregarding how the existence of others work. "Other" needs to be imagination, that's as real as it will ever get. You're expecting imagination to be something other than imagination. Anything other than that cannot be "other". This is also how the existence of the ego works, you imagine it to be real. You can't have a "real" ego, it's only as real as you imagine it to be. If you know that you yourself are not real, how can you expect others to be real? The only way for you to experience "others" and be attached to "others" is only through imagination. If you were God, how exactly would you prove to yourself that others exist? What would evidence that others exist look like? 90% of your life is you putting imagination and superficial distinctions on top of your experience. This is nothing new. It doesn't matter if there are other experiences, because even considering that to be true is always within the realm of imagination. And also, within all those experiences, others will always be imaginary too. -
People are constantly changing. Clearly, you are not the same person as before if you feel guilty about what you did. The person who hurt someone's feelings is gone, replaced by someone who would forgo such an action.

That's very odd that you went 3 months without doing it and feel so bad about doing it now. Are you sure you're not projecting your beliefs about masturbation onto the experience itself? Or maybe abstinence acted as some sort of placebo effect? I would investigate these ideas. You shouldn't feel bad after masturbating when you've abstained for 3 months. I haven't had a very good experience with no-fap either. I went through what is called a "flatline" in the no-fap community, and it basically gave me a bunch of erection and libido problems. Maybe try a dopamine-detox or start exercising, or both.

I mean, this isn't anything new. 90% of religious people misunderstand their religion.

The weirdest part about it IME is that the thoughts feel so natural and logical when you're in them. They feel like actual memories you should know about at certain points, but when you try to focus on them you realize they don't make much sense. -
Nostalgia. People add sentimental value on top of what was before.

I think the key is to focus on sleep quality, not amount of sleep. It's really not as simple as more sleep = better rested. I have had times where I felt better rested with less sleep, and way more tired waking up with more sleep. It might be something to do with interrupting the sleep cycles, I'm not sure. But, I know sleep is way more nuanced than most people think.
