What is the difference, in your view, between the substance/nature of reality with nihilism?

Yesthing? No! Nothing. Nothing. NOTHING!

In the experience of ego death, what are we remembering? Is it us before coming into the world, or how we actually experienced life during the first few months? It's a question that's been chasing me all around this morning, including this video I just stumbled upon, where he talks of children discovering their separate selfs (the yes-self experience )

What is my egoic personal agenda? That is in itself a right/wrong judgement on your part.

Yes, I am interested in metaphysics and spiritual work, which is why I am here, asking questions. I am a human being, made of body, heart, mind and spirit. I don't believe spiritual work works by ignoring the emotional, physical and mental aspects of our being. The whole "nothing exists" just seems like an escape hatch. If we are God, and here to have a human experience, why is it that when someone asks a practical, human question, some run away into the land of nothingness? How does that help have a human experience?

Nothing? Nothing. Nothing.

Nothing? Nothing!

Yes. I understand you now, and fully agree. Nothing nothing nothing. No point. Nothing nothing. Nothing. Nothing. nothing.

Why are they playing the game, that's my question. Every human being dream has a motive, and I just cannot see the practical benefit, of walking around thinking that nothing exists, its all a dream, nothing matters. Whats the value of thinking this way, because I know you obviously do not live this way.

You are a joke. Your comment is just a thought. It does not even exist.

I once had zero memory, in the womb, before I was born. If I lost my memory I'd be a human vegetable.

Isn't nothing, according to your thoughts just another label? Nothing = Universe

What is the purpose of thinking that everything is nothing and nothing exists? No matter how hard you think nothing exists, how many psychedelic experiences you have, in the end, you are still a human being, reading a screen, and thinking. You might be the thought of a higher being, you might even be the higher being itself, but right now, you are a human being. When your dreaming, an imagination, non-existant... whatever. Those are all just words. So, as a "human being", what is the practical value of thinking nothing exists?

I said it will make him understand happiness. Part of the problem is not understanding what happiness is. Even what you describe is not happiness. It's a good place to be, but not happiness. "Simply, happiness is a state of contentment that is often conditional and subjected to change. On the other hand, Peace is a state of inner calm that the individual achieves which is not subjected to change."

Break up with your girlfriend. Donate your apartment to charity. Get a job to work for a living. Then you'll understand happiness.

Your emotions are just a signal. Find what makes you happy and the emotions will manifest.

Why would they apologize for talking to a 20 year old woman? When did 20 year old become young clueless girls to be creeped upon?

If my childhood memories are imaginary, that means all my memories are imaginary. I never existed, which means I am imaginary. Tommorow when I remember typing all this, I was never typing this. So how is my ego-death experience real, if the one experiencing it and remembering is imaginary? And when I remember remembering that I am God, am I real from then on-wards, or was I always real? Or am I still not real, but now I know am not real?

@Consilience Thanks for sharing. Funny this morning I was reading some article about how breath-work can cure some auto-immune problems, including type 2 diabetes.

Start with the simple things. Dont eat any breakfast, you'll feel hungry. Focus on that feeling, your stomach is part of your inner body. Block your nose and mouth, hold your breath until it gets uncomfortable. That feeling is part of your inner body, around the chest area.

And there never was a nonsensical question either. That's just a silly answer that can be applied to practically everything, so why give it? A direct answer, thanks. You should do more of this when responding to questions, the "nothing exists" type answers are just of form of public spiritual masturbation.

Could you share some? And what about repeating numbers, do they have specific meanings?

This is great, practical advice. As for why we need to suffer.. that question is beyond the "puppets" pay grade. And there are as many answers as there are religions (including science), all which require a foundation in faith once the questions dig too deep.

But don't you already know everything? If not, why do you want to know that?
