Yup you got it except right. Anything that you are not directly conscious of right now doesn't exist from your POV. It's imagining. The imagining itself is real but the content of the imagination isn't. Your head and brain are imagination. Other minds and brains are also imagined. You break down your entire reality until you realize that Direct Experience is the only thing that exists. Any thoughts or beliefs about reality are false because reality itself is prior to all of that. Thoughts are just more waves in the water. When you connect with direct experience you are able to see the reflection of the truth. -

Actual reality only comes to you through direct experience. An image is real but it is not the thing that it represents. Looking at your hand and thinking about your hand are two different things. One is sense.. one is image. What we gotta get clear about is what is real and what is belief. If you close your eyelids.. your house disappears from your senses right? But you still believe the house exists. But see.. your belief at that point is a concept.. not sensed ..right? That's what it means that your house disappears when you are not conscious of it . Technically what disappeared is your visuals of the house. Your belief that the house is more than that is not in the house but in your head. And those beliefs may persist when you close your eyes.. but your reality of the house.. The visuals have vanished. See the difference here? What I'm trying to show to you is how much of your reality is actually conceptual instead of literal. When you become more mindful of this.. You can start to see that many beliefs you have about what is real and true are in fact false beliefs. Your visual of your house is not your concept of your house. Often times we take the conceptual house and think that that is what is real. No.. technically what is real is your thought as something sensed and the visuals of the house. The thought-story (the meaning of the thought sensed) is not real.. Yet that is what unenlightened people take to be most real. -
Let me guys know what you think of my voice... Jk lol its obvious that I'm using playback

@Preety_India glad you enjoyed it. There is more to come so stay tuned ?

The areas which I think are difficult to explain include whether there is any transcendent reality beyond the physical, what happens at death, and how body and mind come together to make consciousness. We do not know how the spark of life or of consciousness becomes manifest and origins of existence fully. I am not suggesting that it is not worth considering and speculating on such issues. However, it may be that both theories in science and explanations within religious worldviews are attempts to fill in the gaps but I am wondering to what extent they may do so. So, I am asking you what you think will always remain as unexplained or unknown?

Yeah another good technique is to cum hands-free .let your dick shoot without touching it during the ejaculation process. This also leads to more intense pleasure .
-
(In masturbation not sex) So I discovered a new technique to have more powerful and pleasurable orgasms (for males ). As soon as you hit the point of no return..which is the last few seconds before the semen starts oozing out of your dick ..grab your dick tightly as though you are trying to stop the orgasm..and keep pressing such that the ejaculation of semen gets delayed as much as possible..hold on for a few seconds and then let the sperm shoot out of your dick in distinct bursts not as a one shot ..but as distinct bursts ..and that will give you more intense orgasms . I just masturbated twice few minutes ago. I didn't use this technique in the first time and I used it in the second time and the difference between how intense the orgasm was incredible.
-
What sex language? It's the first time I hear this term.
-
Also something I noticed is that masturbating twice in itself gives you more potent orgasms . It also really depend on what you are masturbating to.

Detailed enough to not let any misunderstanding or lack of information remain.

I come from a Hindu background ,so I'm not well informed about Western Christianity. But I like to study various Kinds of religions and mystical traditions. Correct me if my understanding of Christianity and the Holy trinity is wrong ..... As I understand, from the Jewish and Muslim theological perspectives Christianity is not a monotheistic religion. Reason I: The Christian belief that God is more than one in person but one in being. Reason II: The Christian belief that God is part of the created class. That is, God (in Judaism and Islam) is “one” in the complete or absolute sense of the word. God is one (in person and in being). Furthermore, God is not (and cannot) ever be part of the created class (e.g., a man). Such beliefs are nonstarters for most orthodox Jewish and Muslim communities. The Jewish and Islamic beliefs concerning God are the opposite of Christianity. Belief I: God is one (in person and being). Belief II: God is not part of the created class (e.g., any member of the human class of beings). Therefore, Christianity is not seen as a monotheistic religion and it’s seen as an idolatrous (and pagan) religion. am I correct ?

When we make a choice about something significant we are basically choosing our values. where should a person look for their values. Is it all reason, is it emotion.? How do we choose what philosophy of life to subscribe to and even if none. How do we make our choices? I guess our choices depend alot on what we believe. I don't believe in much so it's hard for me to make choices. I like to believe in moral truths that are eternal. But sometimes I doubt that. Same as God. I want to believe in god but then I doubt. For me wether there's a god or not would make a big difference in how I make my choices. But I doubt everything at times and wonder if we are just floating through space aimlessly and without a purpose. If the universe is cold and doesn't care then I'm gonna make much different desicions then if their was an all loving god. I would like to hear how others make their desicions because I'm lost.

The major problem with Maslow's hierarchy-of-needs theory is that it cannot be tested empirically – there is no way to measure precisely how satisfied one level of need must be before the next higher need becomes operative.

@gettoefl sorry its hard for Me to understand your poetic style. Would you speak more clearly -
Someone here replied to Someone here's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
So are you saying that the trinity is just a metaphor for God's shape-shifting ability? Or what is known that form is formlessness and formlessness is for? -

And what is it ? -
Someone here replied to Someone here's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
Well..most Christians will definitely disagree with you on that one. -
I'm looking forward to your awakening new course. Maybe it will motivate me to buy your life purpose course. I'm willing to pay for both. BTW how is the new course going ?are you working on it lately? I'm very excited about it. I hope it gets released soon ?.

My relationship with the world is based on the unknown. I don't fully understand the world. Which in return give me fear . I want to achieve so many great things .I currently am producing music and working on a content of a YouTube channel (I'm not gonna share my YouTube channel here, ). But I have few audience so I can't build a career around that. I study philosophy in university. Again I can't make a good career with a philosophy degree . I don't have much experience with women .only experience is a quick blowjob from hooker here in Thailand. Besides that I always fail in trying to approach women . I have few friends online. And a few friends in real life . I experienced a great shame and guilt from my past but I'm in the process of recovering.

Thanks for the detailed explanation. I will try to present counter arguments and questions concerning is Jesus God himself in a man image or just the son of God. From a quick Wikipedia research I found verses in the bible where Jesus clearly states that he is not God himself but rather only the son of God. Nearly all Christians believe Jesus is God. That is what the institutional church has always taught. Christians professedly rely strongly on the Bible for this belief. Yet there is not a single Bible verse which states unequivocally, “Jesus is God,” or the like. Moreover, the New Testament gospels have no statement by Jesus in which he identifies himself as God. In fact, there are many Bible verses which indicate Jesus cannot be God by declaring that only the Father is God or by distinguishing Jesus from God. First, and foremost, is one of Jesus’ sayings recorded only in the Gospel of John. The setting is the Last Supper, right before he was arrested and crucified. He prayed for his disciples, saying, “Father,… This is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent” (John 17.3). So, Jesus tells the Father that he is “the only true God” and then distinguishes himself from that one God. Both of these points clearly indicate that Jesus himself cannot also be God. Two other times Jesus identified the Father as the only God. Earlier, he told his Jewish opponents that the Father is “the one and only God” (John 5.44). And again, at the Last Supper, Jesus distinguished himself from this one and only God by commanding his disciples, “believe in God, believe also in Me” (14.1). The other two passages which irrefutably establish that only the Father is God and distinguish Jesus from God are in Paul’s letters. He writes to the church at Corinth, “There is no God but one…. yet for us there is but one God, the Father, from whom are all things, and we exist for Him; and one Lord, Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we exist through Him” (1 Corinthians 8.4, 6). Here, Paul clearly declares that for Christians there is one God, who is the Father, and there is no other God, so that Jesus is not God. -
@zurew Do you think that rather than there being advances in knowledge and understanding that human beings have lost the intuitive grasp of understanding? I know that certain individuals in ancient times were able to think in an extremely sophisticated way, but the majority of the people may not have been able to access education in the way that people can today. But, there is the question as to what extent philosophical understanding is progressing or going backwards? Or, perhaps it is just that people answer and think about the recurrent questions in different historical and cultural contexts. However, the juxtaposition between rationality or intuition is interesting because it is more common to compare rationality with emotive perspectives.

@Adamq8 Also to a christian, God had to take human form to understand temptation and human suffering, but the concept is not based on any clear words of Jesus. In contrast, God does not need to be tempted and suffer in order to be able to understand and forgive man’s sins, for He is the all knowing Creator of man. God forgave sin before Jesus appearance, and He continues to forgive without any assistance. When a believer sins, he may come before God in sincere repentance to receive forgiveness. Indeed, the offer to humble oneself before God and be saved is made to all humankind.
