I'm not saying there isn't anything outside of my precise experience at this precise moment... I'm saying the content of my own experience in this precise moment is sure more true (certain) than anything whatsoever.

Lol I'll consider this me wining this sub-debate

You don't get it . You are EVERYTHING. If you say I'm just a detached observer of pain ..then that's less than an unlimited identity. If you are infinite consciousness. .how can you be just the witness of pain and not the pain itself as well ?

Consciousness obviously is appearing as a body . If you don't have a body and you are free floating wind of magical Consciousness then please bleed your wrist without moaning from pain .

You are the body and much more . Not sure what kind of nonsense is this .

Whatever it is..how is what youre doing actually improving your life? The mind literally can Spin endless varieties of different kinds of hell realms . Because the imagination is infinite . But until you become actually conscious of actual infinity you should stop negatively theorising about it .

Your sensory experience is absolute truth. As in its the only thing which is certain .Please notice this. You don't know anything else. and whatever you come to know must be inside your sensory perception. For instance.. when you leave a crowded room and then come back later.. all the other people are not in exactly the same spot as they were. Rather complicated events unfolded according to strict physical laws. So in fact I'm not denying that something cannot exist outside of your sensory experience. But that it MUST pass through that filter to be considered by you .

@Holykael dude..enough is enough .go visit a therapist and stop this negative shit swimming. You are the cause of your own suffering. Shift your focus from your thoughts to your feelings. Breathe ..meditate..start a gratitude journal . Work towards ending your suffering. Instead of blazing the fire bigger .

I think he isn't either .

I don't understand your question.

We could use the terms first order truth and second order truth . 1st order truth is absolute and it simply means raw sensory experience. 2nd order truth is concepts and stuff behind the scenes like atoms ..electrons..energy ..math equations etc that need to underpin truth.

Time ..space..causality are concepts that are occurring in direct experience. My point is there is nothing to "anything " more than it's appearance. Look at this..All you have of reality is basically the five senses. A visual field of colors and objects. And audio emerging out of these different objects. And physical signals in the body. Different sensations. And thoughts. Which are nothing but sensations as well. And that's basically all there is. This might seem like a naive reductionist philosophy Where I'm denying everything that is not contacted with directly. But it is what it is. I'm stripping away all that's not certain. All that's not present.

Well ..based on direct experience one can only ever be certain of the content of his own experience. And cannot validate or invalidate the existence of a third person objective world behind the surface of appearance. Point one thing.. Just one freaking thing that exists outside of your direct experience right now.. ..You might say "well the pyramids in Egypt they exist there but they are not in my direct experience now".. No! There is no pyramids and no Egypt and no "there".. All that exists in actuality right this moment is whatever you are experiencing right now + the belief or ideas that there is something existing outside of that which is actually occurring (the belief) inside of that. The idea that there is something existing outside of direct experience is just an Idea that is occurring inside direct experience!!!!! One can't get around this. If you close your eyes ..how exactly are you supposed to know with 100% certainty that the world didn't disappear?

But it's not enough imaginary to make the night shifts into day or vice versa in a matter of seconds if you just wished it into existence...right ? So how exactly does this mind that is imagining everything keep up the consistency and apparent solidity of existence? I know I can dream of organised dreams or wacky crazy ones ...but what makes life so different? Are you following what I'm saying?

Yeah ? So folks like Richard Dawkins and Sam Harris believe that consciousness is fundamental to reality ?

Only one week ..I change my worldview more than I change my clothes ?

There is neither.

Actually no . There is no external reality as in objective reality . I know I'm contradicting myself a lot when I talk about this point..but recently I've realised reality is an appearance in my mind .it's a dream. Just like a dream at night. I've broken through the illusion of The waking state and realized that it's also a dream in consciousness. Ta-daaaa!

Yes in fact even though I said I'm logically convinced of idealism but in my everyday life I act as a materialist. I assume that my car keys are always where I left them. The mind is afraid of idealism because it makes the world like a ghosty world. Malleable and not fixed .

Don't get me wrong ..I myself was buying into this whole nofap thing just few months ago ..but honestly..now I understand my body and my sexuality better ..all because I started masturbating again just recently. Here's the thing ..if you guys want to know if masturbation is beneficial or harmful for you ..just try the following experiment: Don't masturbate for a week and see how you feel. If you feel good then masturbating isn't for you and you ought to be a celibate nofap monk .if you feel sexually frustrated and irritated and uncontrollably horny ..then you should start masturbating. Then take another week and masturbate 2-3 times .and see how you feel . If you feel low energy and depleted then you shouldn't be masturbating . So it depends on the person . There is no black and white formula that works for everyone . Now..let's talk about porn . Honestly..I love porn ..but I gotta saty the truth ..where porn industry is at today is really troublesome. I have seen some fucked up scenes recently. Porn can be extremely addictive and toxic to the mind. And also what you see in porn has nothing to do with real sex . It's all fake . Fake boobs . Fake moans .Fake orgasms etc Recently ..I stopped watching porn clips ..the shit you find on Pornhub and other such sites ..and started purchasing porn "movies ". The movie lasts about 1-2 hours . It's pretty hot and not like the 99% shitty Fake porn sites . The bottom line is..porn is mostly unhealthy for everyone unless you find quality porn. And masturbation depends on the person's genetics .

again.. cheating is less about the behavior and more about telling lies.. keeping secrets.. and breaking relationship trust. If one partner’s porn use is agreeable to both parties and not kept secret or covered up..it’s not cheating. Otherwise..it’s a betrayal of the relationship and counts as infidelity. And she knows that I watch porn .

If you kill them quickly ( a painless death) then it's OK. But if you torture them then you should go to hell.

Well they say testosterone level hit the pinnacle every 7 days after ejaculation. So it's enough to recover and regain your sexual appetite . Of course it depends on diet and genetics etc

@Roy It's mostly because I'm so obsessed with sex in general. I need to talk to a therapist.
