A hangover is usually dehydration. You can still sleep for hrs and wake up with a hangover. You enter into deep sleep automatically after a certain about of time has elapse, unless you keep waking up before the REM stage begins.

I think a right balance here is key; not swaying too much either way.

Well said and I agree.

Make-up has been around for centuries. Most women don't put on make-up for just that reason. Make-up for the feminine is more about an accentuation. To enhance. Accessorize. Like wearing jewelry, to complement. Lots of people do lots of things to feel better about themselves. There's a difference between enhancing one's appearance to lift one's mood or spirits and compensating with something because one doesn't feel good about themselves. Plenty of women who already feel good about themselves wear make-up. What you said is also true, but it's not the sole reason and for most females it's just another accessory and a way to express via art. It can enhance ones features and can make you feel better, sure; but not necessarily because one was lacking in that department initially.

I don't know what i am.

And men are liars.....now what. One woman did this and you make a post saying women are deceptive. How cringe. I've been lied to..... Ok I'll start a thread saying men are liars. How silly. The government is deceptive, lawyers are deceptive, kids are deceptive.....and the opposite is also the case.

Good info.

I've never heard of that. My understanding and education on cilantro, says they remove toxic and heavy metals. Nothing I can say for sure as I've not done any formal studies on such, but I've listened to experts on the matter. That said, the vitamins you've recommended has in the ingredients "cellulose" which is another word for wood pulp and is harmful to the body. Ice-cream and lots of other conventional toxic packaged products on the market and many toxic supplements do have this toxic ingredient and i do not recommend and have also gotten that from the experts. All I've said are only recommendations and have not been approved by the FDA so take cautionary measures as I'm not an expert on such matters.

Tell me something that isn't. It's the knowledge that we attained that made us believe there's a truth to seek. Baby is born - knows nothing - acquires knowledge-I am here, boom separation. That's the start of the seeming ignorance of separation. Truth is here now, that which is the case, what's appearing. Everything else are stories and imagination. Ignorance of truth is a concept. Even if someone's lying that's truth. Truth cannot be escaped. It is what appears, nothing else exists. Knowledge isn't needed for truth. Truth cannot be known only lived. Life is Truth and life is living every ,moment is fresh and new. Thats truth.

Lol Matter of fact, lmao.

There's no freedom for the one that thinks it's free. Freedom also includes caring, not caring, just being, not just being, not giving a fuck, giving a fuck. Freedom includes even the feeling of not feeling free. This is why it's the same as unconditional love/liberation. Being free to feel unliberated and free. This is Absolute. You have just described another form of slavery/mind control/ thoughts trying to be free from thoughts. All there is is freedom.

You're funny. Giving him a reminder there, I see.

Until next week. The control was never there to begin with. Fuck the mind...lol. You've just ignited that flame. Now it's really gonna drive you crazy.

The subconscious mind is what's running the show. It's like a filing cabinet. Like a computer that stores memory, but it's not really memory but programs. It hosts all the things you like, dislike, are drawn and attracted to. It doesn't have the ability to reject anything, it accepts EVERYTHING that is programmed within it. It's different than the logical mind. It's illogical. It's the program that's responsible for all your bodily functions. It doesn't relate to the word "not"; so saying I'm not eating ice-cream anymore is registered as I'm eating ice-cream. This is why we have habits and habits are formed, because of the subconscious. Repetition. It is a program, a program. You are running on a program. This all ties into there's no one there. It has been programmed by friends, family, society, media etc. You are operating from that. It can be changed just as it was installed. Everyone, and I mean everyone is running off of a program, it's just a matter of which program are you running off. You think I'm nuts when i say there's no one there. Here's the proof. This course will be one of the most valuable courses you'll ever take in changing your life. I have seen drastic changes in myself from understanding a teeny bit on how the mind works (I used to preach that stuff on the forum a while back, but not anymore because I was getting too much flack from naysayers). The program wouldn't allow a working girl on a forum to make any changes but most programs will allow for gurus and people of influence as in Leo to. That's just how it was programmed, by school, teachers, society etc to listen to authority figures. I'll stop here but this will be life changing.

There's no reason. It could have been your body, my aunt's body, gotta be some body. It just happened to be this body. Programming and conditioning as far as psychologies and tendencies. It's still all just stories.

You said "there's someone here but is not an "I". Then you said there's no "here". So I guess there's a "here" but not for the I or there's a here but for the someone, or the someone that's not an "I" is here and there. So the "here or there" is only for the "someone" but not the "I". Here or there only exist for the someone but not for the I (I can't bother with quotations anymore, too many). Then you said, since there is no I, there is not there or here....so where is there if its not there. You're gonna tell me we have free will and choice and that there's people in these bodies, no way, not with all this confusion and mess. Lmao.

@James123I only mention that stuff now when the conversation is existential or speaking metaphysically etc. You said 'When there's no more you", in reference to death and I said there's already no you, which there isn't. I don't go around speaking like that on a day-to-day-basis because it's not relevant. If you slap me, there will be a response, pain will arise and I may feel hurt. Doesn't mean there's someone there feeling anything. You are being lived. There's no control. Everything is the Absolute "issing". And that's too much because there's no moment to "iss", it's already done. Nothing is actually happening.

Listen, I'm not going to argue with people back and forth with this shit. There's no one there so why keep saying there's no you. There's obviously no one in these bodies, just a program. I'm not going to keep arguing about this stuff. If I say there's no you and you say, bs; you want me to keep saying it. It doesn't really matter anyway because it's just one program arguing with another.

I would slap you back so hard, you'd really wish there was no you.😂

There's already no you.

Time doesn't exist, how is there an end; and what was the beginning.

Anything I say is a story.

I wasn't making objections, I was responding to your post. Unless we're in a courtroom, responses aren't necessarily objections if the post was challenged. Language is needed is a poor excuse here because the word object could have been used. That's just your way of also opposing my challenge.

lol

You just said it was a peach. An individual that sees itself to be a real individual cannot see anything but a peach. What will this spiritual practice reveal to a person? That it's a peach. If an individual recognizes it never was an individual, then it may recognize that peach to be nothing or infinite. Until then, it's futile.
