Someone here

To me there is no openness from your side to genuinely understand these perspective. You’re coming off as a debunker. I hope I’m wrong here . We can agree to disagree .

I don’t understand. I tried tho.

That definition doesn’t seem to hold in all cases. There are clear counterexamples where people knowingly pursue what harms them rather than what is good for them. For example someone struggling with addiction may continue using a substance despite understanding its destructive effects. A person who self harms may intentionally inflict pain on himself like suicidal people and a masochist derives satisfaction from experiencing pain .

You can’t say reality is intelligent but it doesn’t plan anything out in the same breath.

@Breakingthewall is the notion of “bad “ or “wrong “ or “evil” subjective or objective ? Relative or absolute ?

Who am I to say that I know my son getting cancer is actually a bad thing in the grand scheme of things? yes the emotional system of a healthy person will feel sorrow and agony if his son passed away ..its denial of human nature to not feel anything unless you are able to expand your consciousness into seeing things from a different perspective other than viewing it as a negative to your ego. you speak a lot about reality being coherent inevitable relationships that occur because of perfect intelligence ..god (or the ultimate self) does things out of infinite wisdom. Nothing is ever a mistake . God sees infinite moves ahead in the chess game before moving a piece..whereas a human being only can see three moves ahead . If you were able to see the full picture you would understand that literally even your son dying of cancer is not a mistake . Grieve All you want ..grieve till the end of time ..it won’t change anything. So why not just accept that your ego doesn’t run the show ..but god does ..and then surrender to god and let him do with you whatever he wants ? god doesn’t have bias . But ego has . Your son dying of cancer is somehow bad and wrong but you stepping on ants everyday and killing them is somehow collateral damage for god ? Either both are good or both are bad . “Denying the Human nature “? Yup exactly. Transcend the illusion of being just a human who wants to survive and reproduce and not feel pain and not die ..maybe you are something more ?

30 . I’m getting old .lol

Pain is real . Pain is unpleasant sensation experienced in the body or emotionally . There is no escaping it unless you are fortunate enough. suffering is just low consciousness and a result of a undisciplined mind. Unless you are in pain then all suffering is imaginary and conceptual and self made and unnecessary. I’m not going to try to force people to realize this . It’s a communication problem I hope someone as conscious as Peter Ralston can communicate more effectively in his book . I’m going considering buying the book on Amazon.

Do you think it’s hard to remember that you are god ?

Thanks.

I disagree .

I’m talking about romantic love ..hence posted in the dating section . I have a crush on a girl …I think I love her but I’m not sure .

Contemplating the nature of language is a fascinating topic . It’s easy to dismiss language as meaningless sounds and symbols but I think it’s more nuanced than that . Science and technology would have not come into existence without meaning ..symbols and language in general .

Indian English accent is the sexiest English accent ever 🤣

It boils down to what depends on what .. consciousness or matter ? Forms or awareness? The dream or the dreamer?
