Someone here

@UnbornTao OK whatever. Not sure why I'm feeling a bit of arrogance Vibes from you ..as if you are the only person in this world who is construct aware

@Oppositionless It has to do with the law of attraction .its a valid law. Its a fundamental law that runs this world we live in . You can notice it in your life.you literally tend to attract and manifest and actualize and materialise things that you think about the most . If you obsess over a particular thing you tend to really get it sooner or later . I was taking a walk earlier today and puzzled by some questions regarding spiritual topics and I kid you not this youtube channel just popped into my youtube main page and it had three videos which were exactly about the questions I was thinking about..it had me shocked: deep wisdom in these videos btw

@UnbornTao but isn't the same thing happening to you as well?

That's basically all of what morality and being good in the world boils down to .

I don't know who you are but obviously you still identify as a Muslim..I'm not saying this is a good or bad thing ..but why bother at all clarifying the widespread misunderstanding and demonisation of Islam if you've broken out of identification with a religion? I agree with everything you said btw. All religious scriptures are metaphorical because they talk to the mind .they use language and concepts so they can only speak metaphorically. There is this "prison planet " dude on youtube I've been following who's saying the common factor between all religions is to get out of this physical existence because that's the symbolism of hell vs heaven in islam ..and Samsara vs Nirvana in Buddhism. And alike in the Hindu religion moksha and Christian religion the paradise as well. He sounds like a kid who's having problems getting laid or something and he's now projecting this onto the world calling this life in this world a "prison planet ".

She will erase this comment lol

One of the reasons Suffering exists to nodge you to seek truth and inqure about deep things in life . If life was always easy and a road of roses you'd never seek anything deep.

@UnbornTao I see . Does it necessarily have to take one week of contemplation before I post my answers?

Always great to see Leo chatting with people. I just wish this happens here in this community .until when do we have to talk like soldiers to army generals. I feel like it's time for more intimate conversations with him. Come on some of us here has been around since day one . Overall very cool podcast .

I've touched on it before. Likewise goes for disagreement. And also the fact that most people care about being right and sounding intelligent and outwitting others instead of arriving at the truth of the discussion they are having or even just exchanging thoughts and opinions neutrally ..because at the end of the day we are not goning to agree upon everything..people are different by default and inside their heads there are different beliefs and opinions they've gathered from all the informations they have been exposed to in their entire lives .not a surprise to me that people on this forum who are supposedly highly Conscious lack this ability sometimes .

I would say there is no difference between the two . There are sensations in the body . And they feel different. This has nothing to do with mental judgement. A feeling of smelling a perfume is different than a feeling of your palm bleeding . The mental judgement arises to urge us to seek one and despise the other .to survive. But when I'm in the moment of something bad It seems like seeing through it mentally doesn't resolve the physical annyonance.

They follow each other but I don't think they cause each other . The conditioning and identification with my thoughts dissolves to a huge degree when I'm alone and relaxed physically and mentally . But whenever I'm involved physically or mentally in an a "negative " experience I lose that enlightened state of detachment . Are you saying this very judgement of the other state perpetuates it?

I feel like there is a conflict between two places in my life . They are NOT "places " really but modes of being or experience. The first one is the story of my life and getting involved in the details of the movie of life .again there is no "movie of life " ..these are metaphorical expressions. And the other mode is pure presence..pure silence..pure acceptance..unconditional acceptance of what is as it is . I will try to describe the two modes . The mode of pure presence..is the silent mind .the place where All is well and there are no problems of any kind whether physical or mental . Like when I'm in deep sleep ..or when I meditate ..or anytime I'm alone and relaxing and just being in the moment with zero or so low distractions. That is a very good place to be . I feel calm ..grounded ..peaceful ..even "enlightened ". The other place when I'm totally disconnected from that place .when I'm dealing with physical problems..like a sickness ..or a fight with other guys..or some traffic stressful situations..or when my body is feeling lack or discomfort like it needs food or It needs to rest yet the rest and food are not available at the moment and there is no alternative to experiencing the discomfort and "sucking it up ". Or when I'm REALLY mentally annoyed by an existential question..like I'm really confronted by it not just doing armchair philosophy...but really annoyed by the question and I can't meditate or forget about the question . I'm always either in the first place or in the second place . I'm wondering for how long do I have to be in one of these two places? Are there people on this forum who have transcended this duality?

Thanks. Thats my point .it arrived. Figure out the implications of this on your own.

@Ziran listen . A guy has Tumour in his brain that makes him only sexually attracted to children. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S221026121630219X?__cf_chl_tk=3bb13oQPQb_RjtFaUCFjKygQVsBol9gW0m6qlEDmr_c-1771441711-1.0.1.1-9Eqamx4igNB.1GGINtNl.Pm2m6FyZe8.kGvQaQggJbA Pedophilia is brain tumor. So a Pedophile guy sees a child ..brain signals send orders to his body to move and go rape that child . Its called Casual Determinism. "Wrong " is NOT found In The casual chain. Philosophical argument: wrong means this thing should not happen . So unfortunately it did happen. Its a fact .how could something "wrong " even exist ? I would like a respectful answer that deals with my reasoning. .
