Someone here

Not to realize you are god but to remember that you are god . For me it’s not in the future as discovery . It’s a remembrance found in the past . Do you think it’s hard to remember that you are god ?

I don’t remember where I read the factoid but they say the body keeps building and growing and getting stronger increasingly up to 40 yo(granted that you take care of your health ). And then past 40 your body begins to weaken and decompose and starts reversing and slowing down and basically starts deteriorating and aging . Not sure if it’s true .

To me there is no openness from your side to genuinely understand these perspective. You’re coming off as a debunker. I hope I’m wrong here . We can agree to disagree .

I don’t understand. I tried tho.

That definition doesn’t seem to hold in all cases. There are clear counterexamples where people knowingly pursue what harms them rather than what is good for them. For example someone struggling with addiction may continue using a substance despite understanding its destructive effects. A person who self harms may intentionally inflict pain on himself like suicidal people and a masochist derives satisfaction from experiencing pain .

You can’t say reality is intelligent but it doesn’t plan anything out in the same breath.

@Breakingthewall is the notion of “bad “ or “wrong “ or “evil” subjective or objective ? Relative or absolute ?

Who am I to say that I know my son getting cancer is actually a bad thing in the grand scheme of things? yes the emotional system of a healthy person will feel sorrow and agony if his son passed away ..its denial of human nature to not feel anything unless you are able to expand your consciousness into seeing things from a different perspective other than viewing it as a negative to your ego. you speak a lot about reality being coherent inevitable relationships that occur because of perfect intelligence ..god (or the ultimate self) does things out of infinite wisdom. Nothing is ever a mistake . God sees infinite moves ahead in the chess game before moving a piece..whereas a human being only can see three moves ahead . If you were able to see the full picture you would understand that literally even your son dying of cancer is not a mistake . Grieve All you want ..grieve till the end of time ..it won’t change anything. So why not just accept that your ego doesn’t run the show ..but god does ..and then surrender to god and let him do with you whatever he wants ? god doesn’t have bias . But ego has . Your son dying of cancer is somehow bad and wrong but you stepping on ants everyday and killing them is somehow collateral damage for god ? Either both are good or both are bad . “Denying the Human nature “? Yup exactly. Transcend the illusion of being just a human who wants to survive and reproduce and not feel pain and not die ..maybe you are something more ?

30 . I’m getting old .lol

Pain is real . Pain is unpleasant sensation experienced in the body or emotionally . There is no escaping it unless you are fortunate enough. suffering is just low consciousness and a result of a undisciplined mind. Unless you are in pain then all suffering is imaginary and conceptual and self made and unnecessary. I’m not going to try to force people to realize this . It’s a communication problem I hope someone as conscious as Peter Ralston can communicate more effectively in his book . I’m going considering buying the book on Amazon.

Do you think it’s hard to remember that you are god ?

Thanks.

I disagree .

I’m talking about romantic love ..hence posted in the dating section . I have a crush on a girl …I think I love her but I’m not sure .

Contemplating the nature of language is a fascinating topic . It’s easy to dismiss language as meaningless sounds and symbols but I think it’s more nuanced than that . Science and technology would have not come into existence without meaning ..symbols and language in general .

Indian English accent is the sexiest English accent ever 🤣

It boils down to what depends on what .. consciousness or matter ? Forms or awareness? The dream or the dreamer?

The key to realizing the absence of a fixed self lies in understanding change and impermanence. Nothing remains the same.. even our sense of identity. The person I was as a child is not the same person I became in my teenage years ..nor will I be the same person in old age. In fact..I am not even the same person from one passing moment to the next. We are constantly changing and what we call the “self” is simply an ever-evolving process rather than something permanent or unchanging.

lol expected ,classical . do you have no substance though ? A bit classy answer ?

Essential components,no doubt . There seems to be some extra mysterious component. The joy and attraction pull towards the loved one is beyond just respecting them or caring about them ..we WANT them .

@LordFall thank you for sharing this model . It’s helpful.

If you think about it..after our basic survival needs are taken care of..food..water.. air..sleep.. shelter and taking care of our body’s basic functions..the next thing that naturally becomes important for most people is sex. There’s a simple reason for that: without reproduction..the human species wouldn’t continue. Nature made sex incredibly pleasurable because it encourages reproduction. That’s why sexual desire can feel so powerful and why it occupies such a central place in our lives. Among all natural pleasures ..sexual orgasm is considered the most intense and rewarding experiences. It creates a powerful sense of pleasure that few other natural activities like eating or exercising or socializing can match. Of course certain drugs can produce even stronger pleasure but those are artificial and are a completely different category. When it comes to understanding sexuality one book I found especially thought-provoking is “From Sex to Superconsciousness “by Osho. It’s free online . One idea that really stood out to me is that the best way to enjoy a healthy and fulfilling sex life is to stop obsessing over it. Relax. Let it happen naturally instead of constantly chasing it. When the time is right ..it will come. If you become obsessed by the pursuit of sex..then your perspective on life becomes too narrow. Sex is one of life’s most beautiful experiences.. but it’s only one of them. There are countless other meaningful and joyful and fulfilling experiences waiting to be lived as well.

Body dies . Spirit is eternal because spirit is god the eternal being . That’s the general answer . the details ..everywhere and nowhere as everything ..anything ..or nothing . Infinity . The unknown . under God’s decree &mercy .

Pick the most reasonable thing to do at any given moment according to the best of our knowledge..and let go of the outcome.

It doesn’t matter where you will go after you die . What matters is what you are doing in your life now . Because what you are doing with your life now Is going to determine where will you go after death . If you are scared of death ..then you should practice how to die before your actual death . When you are actually dying there is nothing you can do about it unless You’ve been practicing for your whole life how to prepare yourself for death. For most people when they are dying there is nothing they can do. They will be completely defeated and overtaken by fear and pain such that the ego will be annihilated completely..not a conscious surrender… but the ego will be forced to surrender. this is why there are a lot of mythology and stories about the soul leaving the body during death through the throat . If you lived unconsciously in this life and without surrendering your ego while alive ..then your soul/ego will cling into another body and you will find yourself reincarnated into another body ..that’s the eastern mythology . In western mythology you will incarnate into a hell realm . Both are not true literally. They just describe that the soul’s fate after death depends upon what you do in this life .
