  1. Pc can do a lot of stuff that playstations can't do. That's why I believe people prefer pc to consoles. Also, you can play all the old games released right from the ancient days on pc , whereas I think you can't insert PS3 disks on a PS4. Still, play stations do have its own advantages like a few you have mentioned.
  2. Coming to preference, the fact that she is very young, and she has more time to experience life compared to the homeless person gives an edge to saving your daughter even after removing your attachment to her. As Leo said, you have to make the question more difficult. Ironically, life can become meaningless when we leave the desire for survival entirely. Also, not only your attachment to her affects you, but also her attachment to you affects your life even spiritually.
  3. The third eye pulsations are also a way of universe playing with you. Don't take it literally.
  4. People with some sort of mental illness can start noticing patterns when there isn't one, which includes angel numbers as well. But when you stop noticing such things and didn't want the patterns to be seen, and still it repeats on enormous levels beyond the natural and usual frequency, it may be a way for the universe to tell you that things exists beyond your constructed logic.
  5. What about not saving both? Saving one is also an animal instinct.
  6. It's simply a way for the ego to be let known that something beyond itself exists that can break the logical box and rules we seem to be in. In my opinion, they have no particular meaning in itself. It may also be a sign to acknowledge your effort in seeking truth.
  7. A higher awareness and a strong ego is a delicious combination for the universe to show its might.
  8. Otherwise you wouldn't have atheists and life would be boring without them.
  9. Many spiritual experiences indeed happen in the head, and follow all physical laws in addition to some Spiritual laws, atleast if you believe that the head exists. You can be tricked in infinite ways by the universe and on an absolute level, it can never be proved or disproved and it doesn't matter. What matters is how you transform because of these experiences. But the one exception to Spiritual experiences not happening with the head is the oneness or ego dissolution. Scientifically, it is observed to happen when brain functions come down, so it can be considered as something more real than the logical world. Our soul also believes it to be something closer to truth when the experience happens.
  10. No, we need to know the dangers or the precautions before stepping into it, no matter if it is sollipism or meditation or air.
  11. Learning about Spirituality from sources outside our mind is an important process in maturing as a spiritual person. While it is not necessary for those who seek awakening, it is important for those trying to understand it and everything else about the universe. It is better to not understand it all, if we don't have an open mind, as restricting ourselves to a certain group of beliefs or teachings of a particular guru is dangerous. When it comes to awakening as an experience, hinduism states that it is possible to obtain it through intellect alone, while the other ways are doing and being good willed, being devoted to any god through prayer or through meditation. In my experience, a combination of meditation towards breath or a god of your choice, intellectual work, being heart centric and having an open mind will provide the greatest development spiritually.
  12. Meditation, yoga, mindfulness, being compassionate, grateful etc. are also parts of Spirituality. Such things can greatly affect the happiness and peacefulness of human beings. Enquiring about reality is just a part of it, which is most suited for the curious ones. For those already suffering and nothing else seems to help them out they are unable to take any positive actions, they turn towards Spirituality to find answers to why they are suffering. For such people, Spirituality helps them in a great way.
  13. I have heard even meditation can give you sometimes a trip to mental hospital.
  14. Thank God now I can sleep peacefully.
  15. Now I am all curious how it became the second point.
  16. I believe she simply points to the fact that whatever we see is a projection of the mind and not the actual thing. It's just one of the many ways of perceiving reality. It's the mother of all beliefs trying to prove that life is imaginary. There are many fathers though.
  17. 1. It's not too selfish. People love to play games. 2. Even if you or society believe games are not good for people, you can try games that spread love and joy. You can shift away from violent games and focus on creating joyful, humorous, creative, bizarre, feel-good kind of games. I honestly believe they are very low in numbers. You might even be contributing a lot by shifting people addicted to violent and mature games to the ones that make us laugh and cry in Joy.
  18. It can be beneficial to some and not beneficial to the rest, but you can be here for entertainment instead of enlightenment as well. Both are 13 letter words and have a hell lot of letters in common. But if you are here for very 'serious' stuff, you may not get what you expected. A psychologist or a meditation session may be the right place for those things. Socialization is proved to make people happy and it always needn't be real life interactions. ( Although it isn't an alternative either).
  19. Sounds interesting! Might actually increase the chance of finding new neighbours.
  20. Sorry for ruining your joke, I should have quoted some previous replies!
  21. Yep, I am a curious guy too. The statement that the universe is taking care of it is a part of my belief system derived through my experiences. What I believe is that the universe balances out the good and bad, not through a moral lens, but through pleasure and suffering caused to ourselves ( intention ) and to others (action). Courts, religions, individuals and everything that creates moral laws are part of the experience and may affect us in some way, but at the end, it all comes to what happens inside our mind. We can escape the cycle to some extent,if we become non reactive, by not creating any pleasure or suffering in our mind created because of our actions or non action. Still, the result of our actions affecting others keep us within the cycle, either providing pleasure or suffering.
  22. Believing life is a game or even life is imaginary can be the best thing that ever happened to you or the worst thing ever based on the belief system you have. If you are taking the insight positively, then it's all well and good. But one aspect of Spirituality is recognising no belief ( including those derived out of experiences) is entirely true and that includes beliefs on nature of reality as well. Labelling reality as imaginary can become a dangerous affair, especially when our mind is not eqanimous or highly reactive. Even experiencing ego dissolution doesn't magically put an end to our monkey mind. It just gives a glimpse of the removal of the veil. And the monkey mind naturally creates numerous belief systems based on the experience, that's why we can see differing explanations for similar experiences. Labeling could be done for fun, but we need to recognise the effects the labelling has in our functioning from an outside view. It could easily delude us into suffering, if we aren't careful enough. That's where meditation comes into picture, it makes our mind non reactive, so that we can have all the awe in believing life is imaginary or whatever it is and still be unaffected by its repercussions.
  23. If we imagine life is imaginary, all these thoughts can come into our mind: Life isn't real. I don't have to care about whatever I do in this world. No need to be moral, no need to be following laws, no need to worry about death since I would become God after death etc. You can do all these, but doing this will further pull us deep into the illusion by strengthening the ego.
  24. Imagine a veil covering your body. The veil exists as long as it is covering it. Relatively, It is as much real as the body is. Once you destroy the veil by burning it or removing it, you can see the body. But that doesn't make the veil imaginary. It exists as long as it isn't burnt. It's real no matter what happens.
