Someone here

@Inliytened1 Nothing can exist outside of consciousness. I agree . just like a dream at night has no existence outside of my mind . I know that solipsism is true but it's literally ruining My goddam life whenever I think about it . I know its true but I can't come to peace with it. Like what Rupert Spira said its madness . Any advice?

OK..sorry for trolling. For OP..the answer is NO. You are helding the entire universe inside your consciousness. If consciousness is fundamental to reality (which it is ) then there is no escaping the solipsistic implications of that.

I'm curious What is the difference between "living in accordance with 'What Is'" and "spiritual bypassing"? As I understandthe earlier is suggested by many spiritual teachers/people.. But "spiritual bypassing" is highly discouraged in psychology. There are actually sages here in India who can literally survive on light and breath alone . Because they fully embodied godhood . Imo spirituality comes before survival.

I agree partially. Actually my own view is much more open minded. Another way to look at this statement (we know nothing)is to see it as a recognition of the inherent limits of human knowledge. We can never really know anything for sure..right ?and even our most firmly held beliefs could be wrong. Of course..this doesn’t mean we should give up trying to learn and understand the world around us..but it reminds us that we should always be open to new information and perspectives.

I don't understand what that means . We can know stuff on the relative pragmatic level..

@VeganAwake hey bro ..sorry I've been ignoring your comments on my posts recently because you seem to be still stuck in the no self stuff but no worries.. I'm curious as to why you only post on the spirituality section..why don't you post on the dating section..you know..sharing what kind of porn you watch? (jk).

I know I'm being a broken record with this whole "not knowing " stuff . But I feel I'm the only one here who recognises that nobody knows anything.

What does that mean?

I'm still not convinced. I respect your opinion but I have a few points... Would you be happy if you tested positive cancer? Or if your children die in a car accident? Or if you become blind ? And I mean the list can go on and on .. The point is ..if you really look objectively at the world you will immediately realize that it's a big pile of horseshit . Our life swings between boredom and pain as Arthur Schopenhauer said. If I'm burning or in deep pain..how can I be in love with Being?

Explain how .

There was an ancient philosopher called Gorgias..he is little known ..but this quote of him is well known in philosophical circles which basically summarises what "Epistemological Nihilism " is .. which can be summarized as “Nothing exists ..and even if something exists..nothing can be known about it.. and even if something can be known about it .. the knowledge of it cannot be communicated to others.. Even if it can be communicated..it cannot be understood” . And I want to share some thoughts on this quote. We are born with literally ZERO knowledge. We don't know anything .but then as we grow up ..we get bombarded with knowledge from our: parents..society..school..religion etc .. But actually we enter life and leave life the same as we started..knowing nothing. Everything we "knew " was just empty theory that doesn't tackle the profound unbelievable mystery that existence is . And so we learn mathematics and physical world and socializing with others etc..but we are brainwashed with these . We never actually derive actual direct knowledge that comes from direct consciousness. And that's something totally different than learning knowledge. Notice that you literally do not know what anything is . I mean sure you know how to tie your shoes or how to make a cheese sandwich..but you got not the first clue what the fuck is a shoe or a cheese sandwich .and even more so...you don't know how you're doing it 😆..The body just moves . There is no ego .but who or what is making the body make a cheese sandwich? No idea. And this applies to absolutely everything so I won't give other examples. My point is ..adopting this Epistemological Nihilism or what Peter Ralston calls "Genuine Not-Knowing " is actually getting you closer to enlightenment than claiming you know this and that . You don't know Jack shit . Humble yourself.

OK so let's dive into it right away : 1) fear . You are afraid of life .of death .of God. Of hell. of insanity etc . Drop that fear . Take your Holy book and piss on it .insult all the gods etc. Tell life to go to hell . 2)attachments. You are attached to positive experiences . Pleasure basically. Do a dopamine fast . Stop eating delicious food and eat bread with water .stop jerking off .stop caring. 3) off-loading your sovereignty into others. any other spiritual guru who you think they know better than you. Realize that you are 10000 times more intelligent than them . I'm done . Just felt like sharing this .

No. Reality is endless. There are endless awakenings. And you get to cycle back and forth between them for eternity. Enjoy!

It's helpful to explain what version of Nihilism are you talking about . I'm not talking about ontological or moral Nihilism where you say nothing matters and you can go snort Cocaine and rape children etc I'm talking about Epistemological Nihilism..which asserts that knowledge of the true nature of reality or what the fuck existence is ..is an impossibility

Happiness doesn't come from things in the world . Happiness is your true nature . Go exhaust all the material pleasures you can aquire...and notice how you would still not be satisfied. Counterintuitive..Happiness comes from sobriety. Stuff like fasting ..nofap ..meditation..those are "clean " highs . I'm not demonising sex ..I'm saying it's just ONE activity out of INFINITE activities you can enjoy ..its overrated.

@Squeekytoy quasi Trolling. I can rip you apart with a Bazooka of trolley shit that isn't even witty enough . But go drink water and then brush your teeth and go to bed .

Spot on 👌 And welcome to the forum.

@Squeekytoy you little devil ..I love the absolute bejesus outta you.

@Squeekytoy lol don't get me wrong ..I have a huge ding dong between my legs as well and im easily aroused...the point is as Osho used to say don't obsess over sex ..it will happen naturally when the time is ready .and also speaking from direct experience..the more you abstain from Cumming ..the more beautiful and magical life becomes. This seed in your testicles is your life force. Don't waste it in the garbage can or the toilet. Or do ..up to you .

@Squeekytoy why are you obsessed with sex ? What does it give you ? How about enjoying the sea and the sun in a cool summer day ? Music ?art ? Philosophy? There Is so much to life than tickling your genitals.

I was arguing with a stupid atheist on reddit ..this guy literally believes the universe just spontaneously arised out of nothing with the big bang and there was nothing before the big bang. And I was like you fucking idiot ..don't you understand cause and effect ..nothing happens hogwashy..there must be a creator for the universe because it cannot arise out of coincidence nor without a cause . I didn't try to convince him of nonduality and oneness with God and that he in fact is God because that would make him block me right away . So anyways..I just want to explain that atheists are some of the dumbest creatures in this world . Even people like Steven Hawking or Richard Dawkins..these people are supposedly highly intelligent but they literally believe the universe just 🎩 magically poped out of nowhere in no-when by no-how . But btw ..no one is REALLY an atheist . i garuntee that if an atheist is facing his own death or a dangerous situation or was in his death bed ..he will be praying to all the gods that have existed in human history to save him . No one can face death being an atheist. That's why after this unbelievable technological advancements in this era ..People still believe in God. You can't outgrow God. You can't face your own death without God. Now ..something i read earlier..was Stalin's death .(he was an atheist and one of the most evil people ever he killed millions of people)..According to the story Stalin was plagued by terrifying hallucinations as he lay dying on his bed. Then suddenly he sat halfway up in bed clenched his fist toward the heavens, fell back upon his pillow..and was dead. According to his daughter Svetlana..it was if his last gesture in life was literally a clenched fist toward God. And her daughter said that the fear I saw in his eye's while he is dying was incredible. Obvious enough.

This whole thread is one big WTF!

@Squeekytoy oh great

@strangelooper @Squeekytoy what are you guys talking about?
