Someone here

No .

That's duality. Plus you are demonising the mind . If the mind was not important ..God would not have created it . The point is not to get rid of the mind but to accept it as part of yourself. And know it's limits so you should not ask existential questions such as "why the hell there is something rather than nothing?" Don't expect that you can find an intellectual answer . But you need a healthy functioning mind for everyday life . As Alan Watts once said "without a mind you wouldn't know who's sho6e to wear in the morning "?

Great ?. BTW I also noticed that spicy food in general Is good for you down there .I get super horny when I eat ?

I do . One day I literally could not get rid of my hardness .I had to take Zyprexa pills to reduce the blood circulation in my body . Its very effective for men. So I thought I would share it if someone here have ED problems. . Its mostly for men though. So you cannot enjoy the benefits ?

@Schizophonia Just try it and call me on my BS if you don't wake up with a boner.

Masturbation is a natural and normal process that every human indulges in. However..however..a brain addicted to porn will use it as an addiction as substance addiction. It may seem a bit far-fetched..but ive read studies of brain scans have shown that people watching porn experience the same effects or pleasure that alcohol gives them. It is a neural circuit that releases pleasure hormones when you sexually pleasure yourself by masturbating to porn. I can't masturbate without watching porn .that's how I know I'm addicted to porn . But I realized also the quality of porn played a role. If I masturbate to a short clip and just cum quickly..it feels like it's not worth the fuss . But with long porn movies I get to slowly massage my penis and that creates a satisfying experience.

It can be a stress relief to wank one out at the end of a long stressful day . But like you said ..it can be a way to escape from facing negative emotions head on and tackling real life problems . So like I said it has both pros and cons . The trick is to discover for yourself whether or not it's healthy and not addictive for you and then follow that as your compass. P.S what's with your signature ??

From God's perspective There is literally nothing wrong with having sex with a cat or pissing in a mall or raping your own daughter . Because God is absolutely everything and infinite. Now i understand how shocking that can be to some sensitive folks here ..but God/existence/consciousness is a radical thing. The purpose of life is simply to be absolutely open to absolutely everything. To have unconditional acceptance and love for literally everything within reality . Even if you find yourself stuck in a hell chamber filled with boiling lava and you get to be there forever. You must love that . There is a famous quote from Sufi sage who i forgot his name..he basically says even if I'm given a choice to enter heaven or hell ..it won't matter to me ..because I'm both ". You guys understand that God is omnipotent..so all the the physical limitations that you think are restricting reality don't actually exist. If you think god can’t turn Jesus into a woman..or can’t make you live at the bottom of the ocean..or can’t make you grow a third leg overnight..or can’t make you get younger with every passing day...etc...all of that is BS. God can literally do everything. Both good and bad .and in fact everything is always in a state of equilibrium. I read few days ago In a physics book that the amount of positive electric charges in the universe is equal to the negative charges. That means everything is balanced. You will go to hell and to heaven...but be like that sufi master and accept both .total acceptance of reality...is what enlightenment is about.

Thanks. And have you been to there before (the Godhead)? I prefer a pretty face over a sexy body ?

Consciousness is not abstract . Consciousness is literally everything that you are experiencing right now . So if you asked me to point to Consciousness..I can simply point at any thing in my visual field and that would be me pointing at Consciousness. The subconscious on the other hand is what's abstract like a thought. And of course you can't point to it . Now Of course.. I do use the word “unconscious” ..but only to describe certain conditions or the quality of my or other people's behaviours. I might tell you that “John is currently unconscious”.. for the sake of describing his present condition. Or I might tell you that “Last night..at that party.. I was behaving rather unconsciously”.. all in an effort to have my behaviour be excused as that is not how I usually am. However..all in all..the idea that the mind is inherently divided into three or any number of parts does not resonate with me. In fact.. to me..finding certain activities happening rather unconsciously within yourself would be the equivalent of you simply walking down the road with your eyes closed. That's it. You're unconscious for as long as you keep your eyes closed..but inherently speaking you are a full blown Conscious-Mind and nothing less.

Well..Can you point to it ?

We could argue about this endlessly. The bottom line is this ..when you see an object..the very act of seeing it is created by you or your brain if you will ..it's like the classic "if a tree falls in the woods and there was no one around observing it ..then does it make a sound ?". Quantum Physics literally shows the electrons are being made by the act of observation. Also..there is no such thing as the subconscious mind . Because dreams aren't created by unconscious mind ..but via consciousness. Just like the waking state. If you realize you are 100% responsible for creating everything around you ..then you should be careful with polluting your mind with toxic ideas because that will make them more likely to happen . That's my advice to Holykael .

@Ulax why are you a nihilist?

It's something I highly recommend if you care about living a chilled out relaxing and dope kinda life. I recently started playing soft jazzy music on speakers (Christmas themed because I'm a sucker like that lol)..just to have some background music in my apartment. This might only be helpful if you live somewhere quiet (in my casetoo quiet). It's soothing and actually puts me in a good mood.

awakening is just Nihilism taken to its ultimate conclusion. Heard of Schopenhauer ? He was a nihilist. And like every nihilist he believed that human existence is a mistake or something that is not ought to be. And it's like he is not pulling this stuff out of his ass ...he basically dealed with the problem of suffering. But I'm saying life is worth living If you read through the entire thread. Yes life is pointless and filled with suffering. But only when you are in ego mode resisting everything. When you surrender you will be completely satisfied.

Mostly using intellect. intellectual awakening..is taking one of the many forms of cognition ..namely reason..and elevating it above everything else.. using it to reach truths of reality by oneself.. or..being intellectually awakened to truths of reality through your very own logical capabilities.. which is possible. You don't need profound degrees of awakening to understand that God doesn't give a fuck if you have sex with a goat or if you murder someone for no reason.

About what exactly?

God is ABSOLUTELY INFINITE! Do you fathom this? There is INFINITE deepness. It goes on forever. In all directions and all dimensions. Every fucking detail of every fucking thing in every single fucking place or time or different dimension...... Exists. Do you fathom this? Ofcourse no. I don't as well. As much. Just as a cute example... There are infinite more colors than you can see now in this current dimension.

Life is just God Trolling himself infinitely.

God designed humans in such a way that the same place they enjoy sex from Is the same place they relieve their waste from . God is a troll.

If that was the case you couldn't exist. But here you are existing. Therefore you did want to be created. What makes you think you are not consciously creating existence? Inspect any object around you ..aren't you projecting it out if your eyes as you look at it ? Science literally tells us that conscious observation creates reality .

its precisely because god is good that he created that abusive father . You see ..an abusive father is a potential possibility within infinity ..and its yelling at god (metaphor):"created me ..please ". And god won't be good if he didn't allow for that possibility to exist. And existence is better than nonexistence. It is the case .you are creating reality just like how you create your dreams at night . My point is that yes ..depression and negative emotions are inevitable. But you are only doubling down on them when you view them with negativity instead of being artistic in your approach and treat even the worst kind of sadness a gift from God.

Obvious. Because it is one And singular..no one is sitting outside of reality telling it how it should be . Therefore reality is pure goodness. It chooses goodness because that's what you would choose if you are infinite and singular . Why would you choose to be bad or evil ? You see ? God/reality is ultimately selfless because its everything. So from the highest perspective everything is good because its nesscary. If something isn't Good ..it simply could not exist . Now its important to differentiate between goodness and happiness or pleasure. Those are subsets of Absolute Goodness. Being depressed is extremely beautiful if you know how to be properly depressed. Which is what @Holykael is not able to do . you can turn anything into a blessing .

Again..there is a difference between goodness and Goodness. What you call good is not what Goodness actually is . Goodness is synonymous with reality . Why ? Because it created itself through the strangeloop that is consciousness. Look at your fucking hands ..this is utterly remarkable and miraculous that anything exists at all . If you develop your consciousness more and more you will realise that even sadness has its own beauty and necessity. Don't you enjoy listening to sad and melancholic songs when you are depressed?

There is no answer to this question. Reality is an endless mystery. And it will remain like that forever. Its up to you to think of this as a negative thing or positive thing .
