Someone here

Then what follows ?? And what's wrong with that ? infinity is inevitable. It's not like my ego has control over God's ultimate existential plan.

Is God everything? Is God everything, everywhere and everyone? You use Truth and God interchangeably. So If God is not a temporary experience but all experience then what exactly follows from that if not that everything is awake? Since God resides in everything and in everyone and controls everything and everyone, He is everything. Let me refer to an ancient Sanskrit texts of Vedas : dṛṣṭaṁ śrutaṁ bhūta-bhavad-bhaviṣyat sthāsnuś cariṣṇur mahad alpakaṁ ca vinācyutād vastu tarāṁ na vācyaṁ sa eva sarvaṁ paramātma-bhūtaḥ ‘’Nothing can be said to exist independent of the Lord. nothing heard or seen, nothing in the past, present or future, nothing moving or unmoving, great or small. He indeed is everything, for He is the Supreme Soul.’’

That's actually against you. Because if God is all moments.. Then everyone and everything is awake. It's only when you restrict God to a temporary experience you get stuff like this right here is awake but that over there is not.

depends on your idea of God I guess. In Hinduism…in particular Advaita Vedanta…they say that Brahman (i.e. God) is all there is. So it is God awakening from the dream of being a persona and realizing that God is all there is. You are already God now…even though you think you are person. You say God is existence, God is love, these words are synonyms. I think It is nothing more than a symbolism for your own infinite love to yourself as a living being. BUT.. as long as you feel like there’s you and there’s God, you are not awake. So by this criteria no one is awake right now on this forum including YOU. Unless you're tripping balls right now.. In which case you could not have this human conversation.

@SQAAD you can transcend the duality of good vs bad to realize Absolute Good. Also, you could transcend the duality of love vs aversion to realize Absolute Love. Not that I have done it myself, but that's what Leo is about.

It depends on the definition of Awakening.

My pleasure, sir. Whatcha want me to masturbate on? Thank you

U R really Inliytened. You can see through my BS. BTW.. Your communication has improved uphill recently. And you seem more Inliytened than ever. Anyways.. I'm looking forward to post more of my mental masturbation here, if you don't mind ?

Tonight. Im available until I go to bed Tonight. Tomorrow morning I will go off permanently .

I appreciate you too. But I have made my mind. I must quit this forum and go off all by myself from a ground zero to discover the truth and to achieve success in my life. And basically I disagree with the entire worldview of leo. So no point in me being here.

I've spent 2 years on this forum. It's been a great experience. And Leo kept telling me that I'm not doing the work and that I'm mentally masturbating. And that's true. So if I came back it would be after purchasing some psychedelics or having a huge awakening realization. Otherwise, unfortunately (or maybe fortunately) there is really no point in me being here any more. Thanks for the gentle comment. You are a wise dude. Well, the root cause is I simply have no clarity on what It is that I want. Do I want full awakening? If that's really what I want it's definitely not going to be by being In a internet forum and eating pop corn and posting half assed posts about awakening. The issue is I'm not awake. And I simply realized that one of the main reasons for that is me being on this forum. I also fundamentally disagree with Leo about Solipsism, idealism, god realization or whatever it was called. That's Not awakening.

Professional philosophers are just like Leo. They have their own body of work. Whether it's YouTube channel like leo or writing a book. Mostly I will become a philosophy professor but Leo has said that philosophy done in academia is not real philosophy. Just like what you've been taught in school for fucking 20 years. Memorizing shit that you won't get to use even once in your adult life.

We will see . For now all I can say is I made up my mind and I chose to focus on my life purpose which is to become a professional philosopher. And for that I have to work really hard and lessen my social media consumption and just make a fresh start.

For me it can't work. I post here daily. That's not what I should be doing at this point in my life. I must focus on getting a uni degree and escape poverty and other important stuff than mentally masturbating about how long is God's dick.

1-get the hell out of your house. Start approaching today. This night. Stop procrastinating. 2-dress well, smell well and get a nice haircut. 3-do not memorize any pick up lines or openers. Be comfortable with your genuine vibe. 4-be polite and don't talk about anything sexual, especially in the first date. 5-make her laugh. If you succeeded in putting a smile on her face then you are 90% getting laid. 6-ask her for another date and get her number. The rest will just take care of itself. Good luck!

I won't.

@Devin thanks.

@Breakingthewall thanks bro. It was a pleasure reading your sophisticated posts and we had a lot of fun together. Wish you all the best and complete awakening ? I know. But not coming back. I want to take my practical life seriously. Im gonna quit anything that Is not contributing to my life In a practical way.

Is there any scientific research that studies the relationship between age and happiness level? I feel like the more I grow up, life becomes dull and boring and melancholic. Whereas my childhood was filled with joy and bliss and excitement. Up to teenage age I was happy almost for no apparent reason. But now in my late twenties I feel a little bit depressed for no apparent reason. I don't know how to describe it. But the older I get the more I feel like reality is getting on a low resolution acceleration. Literally the sun is less bright and the days are just boring and repetitive. Why is that? Also I expect that when I get to my 30s that this will get worse. Anyone can relate to what I'm saying?

Well, “you” cannot transcend "the ego" because the ego is the you asking the question And one’s ego will never destroy itself. And yet ego transcendence can & does happen. But it's not for my ego.

You are overthinking this a lot. Every living being will die inevitably eventually. I would go vegan because it is healthy not because of this reason.

What is the argument for that? Transcending the ego is itself a constant struggle. Because you have to go against your personal desires and comfort zone. And also you can't erase the ego completely. To function as a human being you have to have a sense of self.

I guess that most people get sadder as they move out of childhood and realize what the world is like and how Brutal it is. They can occasionally feel better but the general level of happiness is lower than in childhood. Even though I was bullied all the way through my school years.. I was still happy more often because I had a couple of friends. We would buy candy and cookies, write stories, build huts out of branches and come up with plays. Whereas when you are an adult, you have to constantly worry how are you going to take care of yourself financially, when are you going to get a job, what if you get a job and then it turns out you suck at it and they don’t give you enough time to learn? Adult life is full of worries like that. Also once you reach 60, everything starts to dissolve physically and you just wish to die to finally rest in fucking peace.

That's true. I can confirm that. Unfortunately most of the time we have to learn by making mistakes. We understand what truly matters by fucking up many many times and doing the wrong things expecting that It will give us happiness. I envy you lol. I don't resonate with this. I don't feel like I am in heaven. There is so much stress, struggle, and suffering in my life. I need to transcend the duality between good and bad to realize Absolute Good with no opposite. But I still have a long way to go. Thank you for the suggestions.

So in childhood there is less ego and more spontaneity.. And at old age you just grow tired of chasing your selfish desire.. So again less ego and a bittersweet type of happiness. But what about 20s to 40s? The ego fully matures at this range.. But having lived so much you start having experience fatigue and you just want to lay in bed all day doing nothing.
