Yes .“Awareness of itself “ is what’s being investigated. And I say we should define , or know what exactly is awareness of our self and environment. awareness can be defined as perception.Where there is a subject and object and a process of perception going on . Or it can be defined as being itself without a duality between perceived and perceiver. Nondual teaching sides with the second definition. Materialism sides with the first one .

When discussing this topic , I don’t understand how could the body-mind problem or understanding the nature of consciousness existentially be put on hold . It’s essential to this question. It’s the whole key to this question.

“Brahma-Charya” literally translates as “the road towards Brahma (God). It also means celibacy or sexual abstinence as a life style choice because Ancient Hindu monks believed there is a spiritual benefit in retaining your semen . And that is true in a sense . But If you are not determined to be celibate for the rest of your life then don’t do it . It’s completely unrealistic . If you don’t have sex with an actual person for a long time , then there is no escaping either self-pleasure or nocturnal emissions.

To answer this question,You first have to know exactly what is a subjective experience.

A woman is literally created to be worshipped by a man .

So what’s your situation now? How serious it is ? Are you going to get chemotherapy? Etc

Where did I say any of that ? I distinctively said it’s emotionally difficult. Religion targets the emotional part of your brain, not just the rational. You get brainwashed with religious beliefs as soon as you start to have some basic intelligence to understand, very early in childhood while your brain is still fresh like a sponge and very prone to absorb brainwashing. because as you’ve suggested, you can show a religious person proofs of the Big Bang and how there is no scientific evidence for the existence of any gods or supernatural entities,and how Darwinian Evolution debunked the biblical story of creationism etc ..yet there are still billions of Christians and Muslims in the world today who are diehard believers. And a huge chunk of them are actually aware of the problems with their religion because this is the age of easy and available information.Yet they can’t let it go just like that . It has become part of their identity.

My nephew is 6 years old . He asked us where is god and they told him in the sky and he believed it . Do children at this age even have critical thinking? They can barely say a sentence.

It’s not because they are stupid. It’s because it’s emotionally difficult to exit a religion after believing it for decades.

It’s really simple . Religion is a form of spirituality, but outdated because most religions are thousands of years old . And today they are brainwashed into people’s minds since childhood and they just accept them because they don’t know better .

You have to put an end to this victim mentality and self pity if you wish for your life to change. Because otherwise you will never change.

Is the question “what’s the meaning of life ?” Or “ what are your top values “ ?

1- Peace . 2-Love. 3- Health . 4- Serenity. 5- Well being .
