Someone here

I don’t “ need “ to respond but I can respond if I want to. But more importantly because anyone who’s into Actualized org is intelligent . And hopefully I’m talking with an intelligent person who’s capable of juggling different perspectives simultaneously instead of repeating the same bullshit for 1000 years .

Note: God is obviously not a “he.” God doesn’t sleep because God is always aware. God is all-seeing, which means God sees everything. God is all-hearing, which means God hears everything. God is all-knowing, which means God knows everything. God is all-pervading and exists everywhere and everywhen. God is alive. Humans are also alive. But God’s life is the actual independent life because it is self-sustaining. God doesn’t depend on or need anything external to Himself to make Him alive. Whereas a human needs oxygen 24/7 and needs water and food. And even then, the human will die because it can’t sustain itself forever. As soon as a baby is born, it starts dying slowly. God is the only thing which could be rightfully said to be truly ALIVE because His life is self-sustaining and doesn’t need external resources to support it constantly. The second reason is because He will never die. That which is truly alive is that which will never die—which is God, not a human. Physics, till this day and age, doesn’t know why the universe doesn’t disappear into nothingness immediately for no reason. What sustains it? Well, the answer is that God does. God holds the fabric of space and time together with His will such that it doesn’t go “poof” just like that. And this doesn’t cost Him energy or effort because He is all-powerful and He does anything He wants through sheer will. If He wants to create a universe, He thinks it up, snaps His fingers, and there it is. That’s the mechanism by which God creates. A human needs God, but God doesn’t need anything. God doesn’t need anything because He is the wealthiest being ever. Why? Because all of existence is His property and possession. I possess a car or a house or money. But God possesses everything, including my car, my house, and my money. In fact, I don’t even possess anything. Nothing is truly mine because one day I will lose everything I possess. So I actually possess nothing. And God possesses everything. God is rich. The richest. If you want to be the richest being ever, you have to stop being human and become God. When you become God, you possess all that there is. I’m aware. God is aware. I can see. God can see. I can hear. God can hear. But my awareness and sight and hearing aren’t complete because I fall asleep. But God never sleeps. God is always awake. Always aware of everything. Always knowing everything. Always seeing everything. Always hearing everything. But I fall asleep. Deep sleep is a temporary death. Humans fear death because humans fear nonexistence. In deep sleep, no forms exist. Not even darkness or silence. Nothing at all. That’s a lack. God doesn’t sleep because if He slept even for a second, the whole universe would disappear because the only reason the universe doesn’t disappear is because God sustains it with His will. But doesn’t God feel tired from not sleeping? Why do we sleep? Because we feel tired of being aware. But why is being aware for 18 hours or more tiresome? Because our awareness is limited. And because we are mortal. A day is a metaphor for a lifetime. You wake up in the morning refreshed and energized. You are born as a baby and a child with vitality. Then, as the day goes on, you increasingly get tired, and then you go to bed to die temporarily, or sleep. Likewise, you grow older and get more and more tired until you are so tired that you die and disappear. But God is always absolute awareness. Never sleeps and never dies without getting tired. If you want to never get tired and never experience death, you must stop being human and become God.

The Bible is a book . Books contain words and sentences . Words and sentences are called language. Any Language is a collection of symbols which are agreed upon to convey a meaning or a concept or mental image inside the readers mind . When you hear a Chinese person talking you feel like he is just making annoying sounds with his mouth . So language is relative . God is the Absolute. The absolute can’t be confined into a relative and limited medium of expression. At least not fully . Not really.

What does any of that have to do with the discussion? I’m talking to a stranger on the internet about deep philosophical questions. I’m not interested in your personal life..your biography or whatever else you think is relevant. I’m interested in the discussion we’re actually having. If you’re busy with the three boy's birthday party then don’t post today . The bolded part is where you seem to completely miss the point: “thoughts and apparent answers “matter. They matter because we are trying to investigate something. If your response to every attempt at investigation is “there is no self..nothing is happening.. bla bla bla” then congratulations ..you’ve successfully turned a potentially interesting philosophical discussion between two human beings into a discussion between a human and a robot. You’re one of the most closed-minded people I’ve encountered in this community. Not because you hold a particular position..but because you seem almost incapable of stepping outside that position to actually examine anything else. Everything gets filtered through the same Jim Newman-style template. Ask a question? “There is no one asking.” Raise a possibility? “There is no one to understand it.” Explore an implication? “Bla bla bla.” Challenge the premise? Repeat the premise even louder. And the funniest part is that you seem genuinely afraid of engaging with these questions in an open-minded way. What exactly are you worried about? If the position is genuinely beyond question..then questioning it should cause absolutely no threat to it. But apparently even entertaining another perspective is dangerous territory for you . I understand the whole neo advaitan uncompromising nonduality position. I really do. The message is essentially that there is no separate self..nothing to attain..nothing to become and ultimately no meaningful message being delivered. Fine. That’s internally coherent on its own terms. And for some people..that radical perspective may be liberating or point toward a profound inner peace. And it is like that for me as well . Pretty interesting stuff . But here’s the part you seem unable or unwillingto grasp ..That doesn’t make it the only legitimate way of investigating reality. Some people are interested in going further into questions about consciousness ..subjectivity..perception.existence..thought experience.. how to integrate modern science with traditional religion and with esoteric spirituality.. because we need the three in our lives not just one . We don’t live on bread alone . We are not just some biological animals who want to eat drink piss shit fuck reproduce shower sleep and die . And yes I’m aware of the standard disclaimer: the message is meaningless..there are no promises,..there is nothing to understandetc. Wonderful. Then let’s stop pretending that endlessly repeating those disclaimers constitutes philosophical investigation. If you genuinely believe the entire thing is beyond concepts and cannot be meaningfully discussed then by all means stop discussing it. But you see you keep logging in into the forum and you keep discussing. if you’re going to participate in a philosophical discussion ..at least participate in the discussion. You don’t have to agree with me. You just have to demonstrate that you’re capable of thinking beyond the boundaries of the conclusion you’ve already decided is correct.Because “bla bla bla no self” isn’t an argument. It’s just autism .

This is a good video briefly outlining the description of the afterlife in different religions and traditions. Notice the similarities between them and ignore the minutia.

Dream wife material lmao 🤣

Sure, I’ve heard you say that a million times. Not that I disagree with much of what’s being said ,but I find it unfruitful to waste my effort trying to change or challenge some of what you say. You’re well seated in your own ways and it’s clear there is not the slightest desire to accept challenging your beliefs. Also, you didn’t engage with my other points which I made and which I think are crucial to understand as well, apart from the question you quoted. but hey whatever makes you happy , I guess .

Not everything you think is delusional is necessarily delusional. For him , he sees your stance as the delusional one . Some Delusions might not be bad. Religions and beliefs help you make sense of the world. Through myths and bedtime stories.Yes, they might be factually incorrect but their function isn’t to tell you what is actually true (that’s the function of empirical science). Rather ,their function is to soothe your spiritual and emotional needs . Because a human being is not just a physical body . Don’t deny emotions and spiritual and psychological needs . but you need to not know in order to know . And then you need to know to be able to un-know . a child is born knowing nothing . Then he learns relative knowledge. Then ,perhaps lives until he’s 90 years old and get Alzheimer and forgets everything he knew . Then he dies . we are born knowing nothing . We die knowing nothing. What is “reality “ in your view ?

How does that look like In practice?

Love and light and pink unicorns, my love . 🙏🏻❤️

Romantic relationships have become something I think about constantly these days. For a while ..I tried convincing myself that maybe I didn’t need a woman in my life. Eventually..I realized that belief wasn’t genuine..it was something I told myself to cope and it couldn’t hold up forever. One of the biggest challenges I face is that my standards are extremely high. I’m not interested in dating someone I find only kinda attractive. I’m looking for a woman whose beauty captivates me completely..from head to toe. I also long for someone with a deeply emotional.. gentle.. benevolent.. and feminine personality. I imagine someone with an almost childlike innocence ..not in the sense of being immature but in the sense of being pure-hearted..kind and genuine. Because of that..I feel that a major part of attracting a woman like this is restoring and strengthening my own sense of masculinity. I want my lifestyle..mindset and habits to reflect what I consider a grounded..masculine way of living so that I naturally complete a highly feminine woman. I’ve also noticed that everyone seems to have both masculine and feminine qualities regardless of gender..but obvious enough that men tend to express more masculine traits on average.. while women tend to express more feminine traits.. even though both exist within everyone. I feel like I have a lot of feminine qualities that I haven’t fully understood or integrated. Nor am I even sure how to go about that . At the same time.. my current lifestyle feels ordinary and comfortable. Whenever I see very masculine men working physically demanding jobs like (construction workers )I notice something about the atmosphere around them that strongly appeals to me. Their work is physically exhausting..sometimes dangerous and requires resilience. For some reason I feel drawn toward that kind of rough demanding environment. Part of me wonders whether living a harsher ..more physically challenging life would strengthen my own sense of masculinity. I also wonder whether that would make me more attractive to the kind of deeply feminine woman I admire and help me appreciate her qualities even more. Because that masculine and feminine energies naturally complement each other..almost like opposite poles of a magnet attracting one another.

The Bible was written by human beings over a long period of time. the first five books of the Bible which are called the Torah were written by Moses. The four Gospels:Matthew.. Mark..Luke..and John were written by Jesus’ disciples or their close followers. They tell the story of Jesus’ life and His teachings..His death and His resurrection. They are NOt books that Jesus personally wrote. Christians believe that while the Bible was written by human authors(the prophets ) but those authors were guided and inspired by the “Holy Spirit”. In other words they believe the literal words were written by people but that the “Holy Spirit “ helped guide them in writing His message.

You’re seriously asking if it’s a good idea to take something like heroin?!

This music makes me feel like heaven is real .
