  1. @BipolarGrowth you studied nonduality huh??? Brain vs consciousness. Reality is just one seamless whole. Ultimately it doesn't matter if materialism is correct partially about the brain. But what is hidden in your question is substance-dualism. There is only one fucking substance out of which everything is made. Could it be otherwise?. What is substance-dualism?.??? Well That reality is split into two different substances. One is the appearances or phenomenon or consciousness or qualia (this stuff right here)..which is a second order emergence from the essence which is matter. That matter has no phenomenonolgical qualities. It's not conscious yet it gives arise to consciousness. Notice the absurdity? Consciousness is simply everything and anything. This is Consciousness. That is consciousness. You are consciousness. The brain is consciousness. Anything you think or possibly doubt in a million years that isn't consciousness IS fucking consciousness... Tada! And it can't be "defined" because there is nothing which is not consciousness to define consciousness in terms of it. That's why it's a mystery.
  2. Watch Leo's episodes.. "why brains don't exist". "what is Consciousness". "rant against naive realism". "reality is a strange loop". Should do the trick.
  3. @BipolarGrowth ey bro what's up? Ofcourse we can't be sure.. Don't be silly..... But Think of it this way" ... The brain can't be generating your experience.. What you call "the brain" is itself an experience.. You can't say that this" piece of meat" is what is causing experience because that piece of meat IS an experience. Ponder this.... What should be generating the experience from outside can't be an experience . It becomes strange loop. The brain which is an appearance in consciousness generated consciousness which is itself!!!! In both cases there is a mysterious fucking thing there that was generated by nothing. Nothing found inside of your experience can be the cause of your experience from outside. Just like if you are playing a video game... The cause of the entire video game world which is the PS device can't be found inside the video game world. It's like looking at your own body with a microscope.. Sure you will find some cells and atoms in there.. But those themselves are phenomenon within your experience aka consciousness.. You can't say that atoms or brains are generating consciousness.. Because atoms and brains ARE consciousness. U dig that lol?
  4. How to go about achieving that? Do you think that the human organism was "designed " to embrace a sharp nail Penetrating your legs?
  5. desire is never satisfied because it's ever-renewed.
  6. @Snader well here's the thing in case you didn't notice.. The universe is a tricky fucking devil.. Sometimes life is amazing.. Other times you wanna blow up the whole universe.. Yin and yang.. Leela.. Maya.. Tricky stuff.. I just want true stable THING.
  7. Nice insights. Thanks. Sorry I almost didn't understand anything. If you could simplify it. Is it realistic to have no desires or attachments.. Preferences and so forth? You are contradicting yourself. You are saying being healthy is necessary but it's independence of material conditions? Isn't health a material condition? I love maharshi but wait a minute... How is happiness my nature? Isn't pain and sorrow and every other feeling and emotion for that matter equally my "nature"? And exactly how is it found "inside"? There is nothing inside! I believe I'm always in the now (physically) or do you mean mentally? Sometimes the now is quite shitty.. you actually must escape it to be happy
  8. How does that work for you? When I sit and meditate there is a rather emptiness or Neutral feeling like tranquility or something like that. Not really what we call happiness or excitement.
  9. @BipolarGrowth @BipolarGrowth try to notice that there is no difference between solipsism being true or not. Solipsism just isn't handy.. It just doesn't "work".. I mean you still have to obey the laws of physics and work your ass off to pay the bills.. There is no excuse for you because you are a solipsist who ?. Philosophically speaking.. It is neither provable nor disprovable. It's just a thought in your head.. So it can't possibly be "the Truth". At the end of the day your experience of life will be exactly the same whether your solipsist or not.... Only with being a solipsist you will feel lonely.. Depressed..and impractical.
  10. @wesyasz all you have is experience. When you talk about something not found in your experience.. That's belief.
  11. Reincarnation is just beliefs and stories. What happens after death? You will die and know so why the hurry? Anything you can't see..touch.. Smell.. .. Taste.. Right now is a fairy tale.
  12. @StateOfMind there ain't no one no where knows anything about anything. We're all full of shit. Good luck sir.
  13. @BipolarGrowth try to notice that there is no difference between solipsism being true or not.
  14. Yes that's solipsism 101. But regardless that doesn't mean "Leo" is solipsist because Leo doesn't exist. That's why "he" contradicts himself. @BipolarGrowth I have a question... Why is this question important?
  15. Me ofcourse. You are God ffs.. You really think you need some Guru to guide you? Who the fuck are you kidding?
  16. By "objective" I mean it exists independently of you being conscious of it. For example our shared earth exists independently of you or me perceiving It. While the earth that you see in your dreams only exists for you while you are dreaming it up.. And doesn't exist for me and for other 7 billions of people. Note not stating that as a "fact". But at least that's what you temporarily assume regarding the waking earth and the earth in your dreams. Good point.
  17. @rajputaman04 hey isn't that my reply question to Leo? You copy paste it word by word? Wtf?
  18. Sorry not sure what you mean that dreams are thoughts.
  19. It doesn't exist for you if you define existence as what you are directly conscious of right now. (I don't see why would you define it that way. You definitely don't act from this perspective.) Yet it exists for itself and for other conscious beings. So open up that possibility. It cannot be said for certain that's for sure. The best thing is to remain agnostic about such questions and adopt a pragmatic answer. Otherwise you will lose it in solipsism which is another word for madness.
