Someone here

NOTICE.. 1 you are imagining that this is waking reality based on the possibility of flying. Maybe that's the dream reality where you can't fly and the night time dreams are the "real" reality where you can fly. Notice that you pick one over the other without any justifications whatsoever. 2 of course it's a belief. Even if you try it 100 times.. You still can't be certain that you can't fly next time. You constantly need to imagine causality and consistency to come to a conclusion. Exactly. Time is completely imaginary. In the sense that you assume that it stops to create a "present moment". There is no present moment obviously because reality is constantly changing. Yet you need to imagine a static "present moment" to ground yourself against this constant change. Needless to say when we talk about jumping off a cliff.. That's in the future.. And the future is completely imagination and hypothetical. Whether you talk about a parent moment or future events.. In both cases you are imagining time.

First of all... Recognize that all this is your imagination. You're imagining logic and nights and dreams. None of them exists in your direct experience. Right now. The general idea is if you try to pinpoint what is actual vs what is imaginary in your direct experience.. Notice that you can't. Because whatever you say isn't actually "there".. It's what your mind is constructing. Get that? A chair is not a "chair". And.. It has nothing to do with what's possible and what's impossible. You can Dream of a possibility that you can't jump and fly... And you can dream of a possibility that you can jump and fly. Yet both are imaginary (dreams). The fabric of imagination is identical phenomenally to the fabric of reality. That is.. You can't distinguish a dream from the "real world". The "real world" is just a conceptual overlay on top of perceptions. You never encountered any 'worlds'. All you have is perceptions. Your mind then constructed a "world" out of these ever - changing phenomenon to construct a sense of reality and stability. You're constantly imagining stuff all the time that has nothing to do with reality.

Dreams are indistinguishable from reality. What's the difference between imagination and realness? This is utter imagination and fantasy. This path is really tricky.

I was kinda going with the flow. I don't even click on "big booty" porn. I like slim women lol

Yes it can be fluid. As I said it's "mostly" due to genetics. Sexual orientation is caused by a complex interplay of gender, genetic, hormonal, and environmental influences. Idk about other factors. What you are talking about is the environmental factors which are hard to calculate because they vary from person to person based on their sexual experiences throughout their lives. From these factors.. Genetics is what plays the most impact. Ever heard of the "gay gene"? There's actually studies that revealed five spots on the human genome that are linked to same-sex sexual behaviour.

Holy shit

And fat ass =? Jk lol

@LastThursday idk. Fetishes are developed later on. But your basic sexual orientation (whether you're gay or straight for example) is highly determined by your genes.

Ok

Osho said that to transcend sex you have to go fully into it. At the the age of 14.. Sex suddenly becomes so important. Until about the age of 42.. Only then it begins to lose its importance.. In both cases due to hormonal changes. I've begin to realize how much of my ego-self was bound up with sexuality and sexual desire. And the effect on spiritual practice has been most profound. I’m not sure I can put it into words. But the practice of sexual abstinence for spiritual development is called "Bramacharya". Let’s just say there’s definitely a good reason why all spiritual traditions recommend celibacy. Sex is great.. but no sexual experience-and I’ve had a lot of them-could even come close to this.” Other yogic texts name abstinence as the surest and speediest way to boost our deepest reserves of vitality and power. many other spiritual traditions-including Buddhism and Christianity-incorporate chastity into their codes of conduct. Spiritual luminaries ranging from Mother Teresa to Ramakrishna to Mahatma Gandhi all practiced celibacy for at least some period of their lives. Gandhi went so far as to call life without celibacy “insipid and animal-like. But the thought that yogis shouldn’t have sex-or at the very least should rein in their sexual energy-challenges our modern notions about both yoga and sex. We live in a radically different world from that of the ancient yogis who spelled out the discipline’s original precepts. Those yogis lived lives of total renunciation. today.. we toss in a Friday yoga class as a prelude to a gourmet meal.. a fine wine.. and-if we’re lucky-sex for the grand finale. Even though much of yoga is based on ascetic precepts that counsel denial. today the practice is often touted for its ability to improve one’s sex life.. not eradicate it-and some people even seem to view yoga classes as prime pick-up spots. Is it served your spirit to abstain from sex?is it possible to abstain from sex completely as a mean to spiritual development?

It's more fucked up than that. Even you don't exist. Self vs other is a duality in thoughts. There is neither you nor others in direct experience.

Yes it's a bias. But did 'you' create it? Sexual attraction is programed Into your genetics. You are just born with it. It's mostly out of your control.

Tell her the truth. Which is that you have no clue.

The underlying reason is that the self is an illusion. If there is no self to whom we can say there is free will.. How can there be free will? To whom?

We don't need speculation. You just have to look at what happens when someone dies. Literally is that their body goes recycling in nature and then eventually a sperm and an egg will meet and BOOM and a new human will be born.

@The0Self forgot to add that the individual is imaginary.

You sound like a troll mofo.

@AverageMonkey The truth is, no one knows anything. Even Leo and the most hard-core psychedelics users say themselves: "there are infinite levels of awakening left, no matter how deep you have already awakened". AKA I know nothing.

@AverageMonkey Im not asking. There was no question Mark. Enlightenment is the realization there is no enlightenment nor enlightened people. Nor people. Only infinity appearing as such

How do you function anyways

@Adamq8 I've had an insight about this, but it's extremely difficult to provide a comprehensible explaination. From my POV, yours doesn't exist and visceversa. Who's right? Both. To God there's no contradiction. From your POV, I don't exist exist as some other bubble of perception like yours that's happening out there beyond your perception "at the same moment", but as an ummanifested (fomeless potential) figment of your imaginatiom. And from my POV, the same with you. The ilusion of time is what tricks you to think these two are incompatible. From the human linear POV, what's most close to it, is to think of others as future/past incarnations. From God's POV, it's all beyond time. The Now is both one and infinite, the "particular moment" that you are experiencing, is simultaneously the only one that exists, and at the same time one of infinites possibilities that exits, and at the same time non of them exist at all.

Its so simple its almost stupid, forget what nonduality, god, consciousness means, thats not what she is talking about. She basically saying, I don't know what anything is, but "something" is going on and what ever it is, is going on, like duh. Then if you get the stupid simplicity of that, and are not longer trying to figure out what exactly that may be, simply ask and maybe recognize, could what ever the mystery of whats going on, not be going during the infinitely different "states of consciousness".. and if no, then whats going on now..... the mystery of what is? Pretty stupidly simple and may seem unimportant, almost like saying salty tastes salty right,...... right.....AMAZING.

Of course it seems that way.. How else do you expect? It's the same thing in a dream.. It appears as if you are the dream character inside the dream world.. But you were actually appearing as the entire bubble of perception. Try to actually draw a line between what you think is the perceiver and the perceived. And notice that you can't.

. Everything that exists is your insightful way of making sense of existence. Infinity doesn't follow a certain pattern, only your life story does. There is not some separate truth that you need to find out because everything that happens is dependent on your POV. So you either acknowledge that YOU are the shaper of your own reality, or let reality shape you ad infinitum. Also, shape or form (or whatever expression existence takes) isn't permanent, so your human form isn't reality. Form isn't absolute truth and it doesn't fit any paradigm because it is always changing... yet IT IS NOT separate from the Truth. Obviously, a mortal will not appreciate the depth of this infinity.

@Javfly33 there is no me.. I'm just your own mind talking to you.. You are hallucinating me right now to distract yourself from the fact that you are God and all alone.
