NORMal things aren't automatically conformity

Stop trolling. You know that's totally false.

Reminds me of Giordano Bruno's book that I am reading right now. Would you say that only via nothingness, the absolute can be experienced?

True in a sense, Catholic church, Communist parties, Monarchies, big industries,... Although I would say a lot of conditioning has to do with pragmatic survival matters, proper functioning of society, and general lack of education. The most important thing is how you develop yourself. Don't hope for elites to hand you everything on a silver platter.

Even if I see time as illusion, still there is sequence. Life flows as a state of consciousness, allowing things to happen in different specifications, limits,... So, you distinguish between this reality (understandable to a degree) and infinity (not understandable)? If not understanding, can you embody the absolute or shape yourself to reflect it?

Death is already here in a way. The acquired mind is futile and will wane again. And that's the whole point - it seems like awakening is happening over and over again, because sleep and ignorance will set in again and again. It's like night and day.

Cats definitely are frustrated sometimes.

Great saying! You came up with it?

Opening a discussion

Definitely, time is an illusion. I'm referring to spirituality, to reaching more holistic states of consciousness and, specifically how futile it seems. In this context, playing along the game does no good. If I play along, I would eat fastfood daily, bingwatching TV, Youtube, Netflix and TikTok, reading mainstream media, instead of doing yoga, watching out on my health, reading philosophy and contemplate,....

What really bogs my mind is how the whole endeavour of spirituality is to come to Truth, Awakening, God, Moksha,... But how certain of an attainment is this, if in all eternity, life is where it is right now. Confused, suffering, frustrated? Ok some joy, some clarity too, but still so confused, suffering, frustrated. In all eternity life is like it is right now. So how about a state of omiscience, of freedom, of clarity, when all of eternity lead to ignorance, bondage and confusion? It feels like it needs limitations to even be something.

Interesting. A swinging pendulum it seems. There is a reason though that conservatives are taking over European parliaments. Mass migration from the Middle East made some damage.

I don't know what kind of week long debate is going on in this thread right know, don't bother to read that much. But I want to share some thoughts I had recently about the Israel-Palestine conflict. This whole conflict is the navel of human conflict. The conflict between East and West. The conflict between Global North and the Global South. The conflict between wealthy (post-)Europeans and poor dark skinned people.

My orgasms are weak and unfulfilling. For years I feel somehow unfulfilled, EVERY time I'm cumming. I thought that real sex, instead of masturbation, will change that. But since having a girlfriend for a year, sex gives me no significantly better orgasms. Maybe more pleasure in between, while having sex, but orgasms are not great.
