“There is not one person on Earth who can argue against life being a hallucination. Because, of course, it is. What else would life be?“ That’s a poetic line because it’s doing more emotional heavy lifting than logical work. Saying that life is a hallucination sounds profound until you ask what evidence distinguishes it from reality. A statement isn’t true just because it’s impossible to disprove. If that’s the standard..then we’re equally justified in saying life is a simulation or a dream or a giant cosmic nightmare ..Beautiful metaphor? Maybe. Solid argument? No. And besides why are you emotionally attached to defending the notion that life is a hallucination? I can only imagine because it implies life is unreal then you can relax and take the stick out of your arse . But you’re hallucinating anyways . There is no real difference between a hallucination and reality so long as you are hallucinating. Just like inside a dream you live it as complete reality . So the only utility of claiming life is a hallucination is if you are doing serious work to literally wake up from the hallucination entirely. So long as you decide to keep hallucinating what’s the point of blabbering about life being a hallucination ?

I know it’s hard (almost impossible) for most people to wrap their minds around the notion that the ego itself doesn’t actually exist in physical reality . We can speak loosely about overcoming or weakening the ego by spiritual practice like meditation or fasting but in the ultimate Analysis it should be clear there is no ego in the most literal sense possible. The “I” is a thought instead of a physical entity . Whenever the thought “I” arises it comes delayed after the act happens and it claims ownership of thoughts and deeds . The body eats and breathes and sleeps and then the i-thought arises and claims dowership “I slept or I dreamt or I ate etc “

The same pointless confused conversations again lol . Before deciding “we should eliminate the ego “ or “we should align the ego “ ..do you even know what the ego actually is ? the ego is your sense of “I” . Full stop . the sense of I is real . The I itself is not real . so what are you going to align or deny ?

Interesting. Unfortunately these kinds of tragedies happen in real life all the time ..not just in movies. Sometimes the movies are inspired by real life stories . For me personally I don’t need anything horrible happening to me as a wake up call to appreciate what I have . I’m grateful for everything I have in my life and I’m not resentful against life or god .

Oh reminds me of winter knight. Good old days . Haha . We haven’t had a thread like this in a while . but hey good for you .

The story behind SAW is that the guy had cancer and he wanted to practice Sadistic torments on healthy people who don’t appreciate their health and those who die ..die. And those who survive often survive with catastrophic consequences like losing their legs or one of their eyeballs and after they survive they appreciate their lives more .

Don’t bring Ronaldo in . Ronaldo now is a striker who depends on the whole team to deliver him tap-ins in the box . Unfortunately he lost his speed and dribbling ability. But he still can be a powerful clutch shooter and score bangers and bicycle kicks and things like that . Messi on the other hand is a playmaker who carries the whole team on his shoulders and somehow manage to be a goal scoring machine simultaneously . He obviously lost his speed because he’s 40 now but still have his expectional ball control and playmaking abilities. During their prime when both were in Spain in Barca and Madrid I used to watch them both but I was a Ronaldo fan . And I’m still a Ronaldo fan . But there is something that needs to said :Messi is literally gifted from GOD as the most talented player ever . Ronaldo is obviously talented be he worked on himself to create the player he is . And this is a point towards Ronaldo . They both have exceptional qualities. Ronaldo’s headers and bicycle kicks and long shot rockets for example are something Messi can never imitate . Likewise Messi’s dribbling ability and play making ability is something Ronaldo can never imitate.

Sensational comeback from Argentina . Yeah he didn’t score but he lead the win . Also the substitution of England’s coach ruined the match.

Sorry if what I said came off as that . you asked about maybe there is a little control we can act on in our lives but that doesn’t mean we don’t have control at all ..isn’t that what you asked ? my answer was as accurate as knife . I told you it’s not that you have a little control or no control at all. I told you there is no separate self who has either little control or no control at all . So the question “ do we have no control at all or just a little control?” Is based upon a false assumption. And the answer to it is both are false (little control or zero control ).

Please rephrase the question and expand on it . I feel like you are playing dumb pretending you don’t get what I’m saying when you actually do .

To put the whole Nahm situation into perspective..this is how I see it: Leo removed Nahm from the moderation team because their understandings of awakening had fundamentally diverged. Their approaches were no longer compatible..and it eventually became clear that they were moving in completely different directions. The ban happened shortly afterward because Nahm began privately messaging Actualized.org members and inviting them to join his own forum.. which was copy pasting Actualized.org. From Leo’s standpoint.. crossed a line. Whether people agree with it or not.. I can understand why he felt banning Nahm was the only logical response. I don’t think Leo had many realistic alternatives. That said..I also think it’s important to recognize that Nahm was never some manipulative scammer talking gibberish and fooling around . He struck me as an exceptionally wise mature person. I believe there was room for genuine dialogue with him..particularly around expanding his positions beyond reducing everything to thoughts and beliefs. Personally..found Nahm’s contributions to the forum extraordinary. Time and time again he engaged deeply with what members were actually saying..challenged assumptions with genuine curiosity..and even showed empathy and emotional support for people lost .and offered guidance that I found remarkably insightful and practical. In my experience..many of his posts resonated far more strongly than Leo . Leo on the other had until this day still acts increasingly distant and dismissive. The “don’t befriend me” attitude ..the brief one-line replies ,..and the tendency to leave members with cryptic responses and a lot of time not responding AT ALL to people begging him to respond .It is honestly very annoying. Sorry but I felt I needed to finally say that.

Assuming the moon is available for feedback is a trauma response based in laminated intentions..

. Congrats brother . World class performance from Spain . And against France also .

I watch a lot of horror movies . Obviously they will trigger emotions of fear and scare the shit out of you . But often their depth and the message they convey is staggering. They are also super engaging . The movie series SAW is my favorite. There is also a movie called Melancholia which is pretty nice .

What do you mean it’s funny ? It’s his work . The YouTube channel and the website and courses etc is his job .
