Us both. Infinity can feel hurt. Doesn't take away the validity of the post.

Oh ok. Scary to think that. Also exciting to not know if you died and came back and not know it. That's cool.

Life is an after effect. Your life that is. We are living in history. What happens happens. Any words describing what happened is past history. Any reaction to what happened is reactions to the past. Any response made is responding to history, the past. We can never live in the present moment. There's no such thing. We are not living in the present, we are responding to the past and reacting to the past. A happening cannot be lived or experienced because it would take an outsider for that to happen. By the time one has processed what happened for it to be lived, that's a response. That's what it means to say nothing is happening because to know that something is happening that requires a knower and to be a knower there has to be time and an elapse. By the time one can process that something is happening that moment has already slipped by. We are so deluded and in fairytale land and think we can outsmart this and know anything that we even think there's anything really happening. No it's not. What's happening is us being in a dream of nothing that never really occurred. That's what emptiness and nothing looks like. It looks full because it's full of baloney and tricks. Hehe. Silly me.

Interesting. I see.

The irony.

The remarks, including my own, just goes to show that nothing is really known and is true because the truth needs no defense. It's all just regurgitation and vomit being spewed from mouths that thinks it knows anything and ego responding. If one really knows that they're Absolute Infinity then they would know that the words are also Absolute Infinity and it's also them. So saying people just listen to gurus and repeat is also Absolute Infinity. @Mixcoatl

What do you think he was doing. Where did he get his information. From Infinity? Then so did everyone else. Doesn't matter. Everyone repeats because there's nothing new under the sun if it's being written from knowledge.

This is what Spirituality can turn a person into - serious and a loss of innocence with a bug up their ass. I specifically stated I was just breaking your balls and that it made no difference. @ExploringRealityi know you're referring to me and my responses, but I specifically put this last part so you could see I wasn't being serious and was having fun with your post.

Shit, he didn't ask how to analyze humor. By the time I did all that, I'll feel like a philosopher not a comedian. I'm laughing now without even trying.

I love it when you say silly things. Shows the human side you're trying to get rid of you space kangaroo you.😜

Exactly. Lol

How do you know this. Have you ever literally died (the body) and witnessed consciousness flooding you.

What then constitutes something being alive if not being compared to something else. It doesn't have to be death but something else has to take the place of it's opposite because life or something being alive is describing that something which is limited because anything with a description is form, and form is limited. There has to be something else for something to be described as alive. This is the actual premise for why I made the post and your statement here doesn't prove that being alive is all there is and having a presumption that there's something else is the only way that life can even be a thing. So presuming there's something else is legitimate. Can't have life without something else.

A dead body turns to......whatever it turns to after awhile....skeleton. There's still a happening and a process there. Some form of action without anyone doing it. Shitting is happening as a process without anyone doing it. Who or what determines which one is alive and which one is dead.

I said that for the purpose of the post and to relay a point. By the post's contents, it's obvious I'm not saying we're all definitely alive or dead, just openly asking how do we know.

Lol, ok. I'll give you that. Be cynically peaceful.

Questioning things is what made me realize a lot. I just question silently to myself and give myself the answers by observing. The people that ostracized didn't feel how they wanted to feel. People don't want to lose themselves and will kill before being killed. Being killed as in their made-up identity. They want to feel and have others confirm what has no ground to stand on. It feels kike a betrayal in a sense. I say I'm this and you're not confirming that and I'm loosing that sense of identity so you have to go - in a sense.

The words in bold italic "I feel", confirms what I'm saying in the other comment. I don't just talk out my ass without understanding what I'm saying even if I'm wrong, there's still an understanding there even if my understanding of it is wrong. I've just seen too many times of this to be the case by observing myself and others. I just wanted to point out that you yourself confirmed what I'm pointing at. The clues are always staring us in the face if we take the person out the equation. That's hard to do while in it and easier for the onlooker. That's called going meta.

That only feels like that when there's something that is looked for. It's hard for the individual because it puts meaning to everything in relationship to it when it's just life doing life with no meaning and purpose. This is what it means to suffer. No meaning, no purpose, no suffering. Perfect example. It can't be helped, though, because the person searches for a feeling no matter what it does and that can only stop when there is no person there. It goes hand in hand. Even if you say you're going to stop talking to people about that, it's because there's still a feeling being desired. The only thing I can say to that is for you to recognize this and to not blame people for your thinking they're stupid or whatever descriptive word you use, but that it's you being disappointed with not achieving the feeling you were after. Maybe that'll loosen up the tension a bit and relieve the suffering somewhat to nit feel so intense.

If the title of the thread was correct, that would mean everyone in a relationship, married or had friends were stupid. Makes no sense and the heading alone isn't a smart way to look at the world.

Right, and also the smart teacher.

If one was that smart, they'd know how to adapt to the different circumstances. So, maybe it's not that it's being smart to know these things alone, but to know the difference when to use that knowledge. I might know what a hammer looks like and how to describe it, but I might not know how to use it. A person might not know what the definition of a hammer is but they know how to use it. Now, who's smarter. Smartness is only defined by what it's being compared to and being smart depends on how the person uses what they define as being smart. If one thinks being smart is knowing a bunch of stuff but not how to use that knowledge then that's not being smart and life will eventually show you that it's all relativistic.

By what was known before and by comparison. Trace it back to the first knowing and it's "I am here". Now we're learning about non-duality and trying to get rid of the self. So knowing is an illusion and based off of a sense of self-recognition, not what is. If one didn't know themselves to be, they wouldn't know anything, they'll just be responding and reacting to everything through instincts and those responses and reactions would be happening on it's own just like it's happening already but without a claimer.

This might help.

You should be happy then that you're not attracting the idiots. Go celebrate.
