Movement can be without ego. Technology can be developed with different intentions. For example, Inventing new technology ( such as cancer curing drugs) to reduce suffering in the world. Inventing new technology so that you can make yourself and your company rich. -

Fortunately? -

Humans can do that. Just wait for a few million years. -

Lol, I don't think it works that way. A better interpretation would be: When everything seems to be happening positive in your life, no matter whether you think you work hard or being lazy, whether you think you are being a selfish and egoistic guy or a selfless one, it's time to be extremely careful as something big is going to happen next. When all hope is lost, and nothing seems to work, it's time to be positive and hold on for some more time, as nothing is permanent. -

The one thing I found useful here is that we should not let our ego feel superior just because we are able to easily sense or reach God. We can be proud about our efforts, but it could very well pull us away from God, if it exceeds certain limit. The best way to overcome such spiritual ego is to believe that God is responsible for all of our experiences. -

Anything that helps you lower your egoistic tendencies will help you achieve enlightenment. Passionate effort, suffering, devotion, mindfulness, selflessness are a few things that help you achieve this. -
For me, I believe it's simply to experience the present life, both good and bad, and practicing activities that expand consciousness and maintain that state. What do you think is the greatest purpose a human being can ever have?

No, I don't. Reality is all about relativity, if you have a single bacteria in your body, would you call it a disease? -
An young being replied to An young being's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
Yes, you are right, there still exists many unsolved mysteries in the universe, have fun deciphering them all ! -

Just now I was talking about poets -
An young being replied to An young being's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
I know very little about Buddhism, but can you point to the literature that says what you mean? I would like to explore it more. -
An young being replied to Jowblob's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
Don't make delusions your reality. Instead enquire who's creating those beautiful delusions. -
An young being replied to Jowblob's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
Mostly it's a delusion/ hallucination, but the synchronicity you specified has to be real. God is just playing with you! You can never change the 'hard' rules of reality, atleast with the current levels of your ego. -

I believe enlightenment brightens the light inside your head to a great extent. ( As shown in many depictions of enlightened beings). The light was already present, it was either switched off or dimmed. Just like the light source can turn extremely bright to its maximum potential after enlightenment, as time passes it can also fade away due to the energy source ( which is the heart) that powers the light not being active enough. Like to become like Zeus? In my view, we should see with an unbiased, rational and a selfless mind whether what we consider as the truth is beneficial for the human kind to be known. If it's indeed beneficial, it can become a great purpose to spread it all over the world. If it's not, maybe we should bury it just like those great poets and scriptures do. -

Think positive when everything around you seems negative, think negative when everything seems positive ! -

When you are under intense suffering, lust ( or masturbation) may be a very good pleasure to have, atleast for sometime, to overcome hopelessness and stress. -
An young being replied to mac99's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
Also don't think having fun all day on your own doesn't have any negative effects, simply because it's not selfish. Pleasure without effort has consequences of its own. Nothing in the world comes without effort and love! -
An young being replied to mac99's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
Lust may not be good or bad on it's own, but lust may create selfish thoughts in your mind, which in turn can cause you to act selfish, which in turn is bad for someone who is on a spiritual path. For example, instead of giving a rose to a woman to see her smile, you will be giving it with the intention of having fun later with her due to the influence of such lustful thoughts. -

Yes, but I don't wish to reside there permanently! Not so soon!! It's like taking a step outside your home and immediately return back in. -
An young being replied to Sugarcoat's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
Holding on to life with hope and taking time to look at why I am suffering might be a couple options to overcome intense suffering. Most people who suffer intense physical pain become used or immune to it as time passes, but the sufferingmostly never goes away 100% unless the source of the pain disappears. Being dispassionate ( vairagya), meditation and mindfulness ( equanimous mind) can help overcome intense suffering. Nobody can escape suffering though, unless they are made of a combination of a pure selfless, egoless and an equanimous mind. -

To appreciate reality, to be in awe of God's creation, that could definitely be a great purpose! Wasn't it already the case? Weren't we already infinite, and still we created the veil called ego? I agree that awakening lifts the veil, it destroys the belief that ego is superior, just like the belief of earth being flat shattered when we see the earth being round with direct experience. Still, it is possible to believe the earth is flat once again if the experiences wanes in our mind and new beliefs are formed. I agree that many refer to enlightenment as a permanent state with no chances of clinging back to the ego. But, looking at those popular people in both western and eastern traditions who claim to be enlightened, they do display their egoistic tendencies, even if it's barely noticeable, such as anger, fear, doubt etc. Seeing such people, it looks like enlightenment can't be permanent, but it indeed can be maintained for specific time with effort. -

But we could always reach the last few numbers before infinity, and I think that's a beautiful experience. That might be a noble or even the greatest purpose for a human, but what if you know it would bring more chaos or even suffering into the world if everyone becomes aware of truth? What if it collapses the world entirely? Will it still remain the greatest purpose? -
An young being replied to An young being's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
Yeah, I think it's definitely possible, but it's never going to disappear infinitely. -
An young being replied to An young being's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
I do fantasize humans inventing an infinite AI that reaches infinite knowledge. And of course, humans getting wiped out of existence after knowing it, lol. Seriously though, scientists seems to be closing in towards infinity with something called quantum mechanics, with the end seeming to be reachable within a few hundred or thousand years, I would say it's a pretty systematic version of inquiry. Sorry, I shouldn't have used the word God, instead I would use " An enlightened being ". I too believe the same. The ones who think they can achieve the state of God with ego driven desires such as wealth, knowledge and power can be called as a version of Brahma, there's a reason why Hindus don't worship him and why Shiva cut one of his heads. Looks like fear is a good thing after all. Without it we wouldn't have stories of great civilisations! But is it possible with an ego? Can we ever get free from it?
