Did you see this movie? How you described it is not how I remember it to be, but maybe that's just your view. Yes, it was based on true events. No need to bash somebody's movie recommendation.

Nothing wrong with people not caring. Not everybody loves dumplings and bananas. I used to be like that till I realized most people don't care. It's just not their time.

I'm silly, don't mind me.😜

The penis. Love the post.

Ironically the point of the post.

Didn't know you birthed dogs. That's a first.

I have a cat; and I have all my life had cats. They have taught me so much and I'm grateful to have my current cat as a companion. Finicky beasts they are and very "sometimish", but that's ok because I am too. Hehe. I never had a dog, even though I love them too as with all animals, because they require so much time and care and when I'm away I can leave my cat for a couple days and not worry because cats are independent and don't require to be walked or spoon fed like most dogs do. Your post is on point, though, because dogs, as well as cats, can teach so much about unconditional love and being in the moment.

Setting AI on me, I see. Gave up? Lol

This Forum is a Solipsistic Orgy Lol. All for one, one for all.

This is a good point. I think some people who are not into spirituality, or conscious as you put it, can still enjoy the material for what they are also. There are people like that who don't worship their material gains and see them for what they are.

Good points.

Never said there was a problem. Just pointing something out.

Point taken.

Desire is not the enemy, we all have it yes. Never said otherwise.

I'm not sure what you mean by this.

Some places got hit hard and some were spared. Due to the mountains and location of the hurricane, some places didn't get that much damage and all i heard of was one life lost which was still one too many.

If you would like for me to make posts about my life what I'm going through, my problems, my living situation and how my love life is going I can do that too. I don't put myself into a category of non-dualist, Absolutist or Denialist. You have. You are also denying certain aspects too by critiquing what i'm posting. Nothing wrong with that, because I welcome critiques as I myself do engage in that, but not as a way of putting down one's style of communicating spirituality in how they chose. I'm not in denial of anything and like I said I can make posts about my personal life of which I do have other threads about stuff other than spirituality. This is just the section for this stuff. How am I denying anything just from making specific posts. That's not denial. How is my post even non-dual talk. I don't even get that. It's merely stating how spiritual gain and material gain have a similar outcome. If you don't agree, then you don't; no need to call me out on what "ist" you think I am and have categorized me to be.

It's all the Absolute.

I don't need to be told what to take in order to achieve something and laughed at and ridiculed because I chose not to. A simple suggestion and leaving it at that will suffice instead of telling the person what you believe they have or have not done and how it's not enough to achieve what you believe I should achieve. I'm glad I made this post so maybe you guys can see how you're thinking your ways are better than another's and how it's still on a materialistic level and a competition to see who can have a better experience.

Yes it does, and a baby does not have desires at an early age. It's body is responding to a certain need. The baby is not desiring it's body is responding to stimulii and is functioning on instinct. I will not address your other responses because I refuse to make excuses for why I posts certain things and needing to give reasons and excuses on a spirituality forum about making posts about spirituality. If I am on a certain train that's not going to where you're headed, there's no need to critique the train I'm on. I'm being respectful in my posts and if youre not agreeing there's no need to say "that's all i post". What if I was to keep harping on you that all your posts are about Sadguru and that's all the videos you ever post. I mentioned it briefly a while back to you and left it alone because thats your prerogative. I shouldn't have to be censored with my views and takes on the matter of spirituality as long as I'm not being harmful or disrespecting anyone else's views. Another "making" my point matter. We tend to have to put other people down who isn't on the same path and with different views and keep referring to their views as a philosophy while theirs is the truth. You guys are just making my point even more and FYI, I have not made a post as this one before and it's the first I've introduced this specific topic.

I don't doubt that, but what you're missing is that this is Absolute; and in the experience there are many paths that one can take to experience whatever, You're stuck on one path and that's because your limited mind cannot imagine any other. It's like the mansion owner telling the rancher that he's missing out on a bigger house and that once he's had the experience of a bigger house, he wouldn't want to go back. You have also made assumptions that all I've done is "know", "analyze" and "read". What gave you that authority to know what I've done or not done, experienced or not experienced. Nothing other than an assumption. Psychedelics i can give you that because I've revealed I haven't done them, but you've assumed everything else. Another presumptive action on your part by saying what you've said without proof.

Making my point again. Spiritual people laugh at others who don't engage in their practices and claim that only certain things can reveal certain things. You guys aren't event realizing how you're making my point even more. Precisely one of the reasons why I even decided to make this post. Keep them coming. Let it reveal itself.

I'm not understanding why you say "trying to avoid" when that's precisely what i'm saying.

Makes no sense. If spiritual goal is to kill the self then what is being used to kill the self. Gaining of a self that is already there to accomplish that material goal is also nonsensical.
