The truth can be spoken but means nothing. Absolute being for example is a way to say it. What means absolute being? Being without limit, openess that is because it's open, unlimitedness that is given its unlimitedness, source of any manifestation, totality, no thing that implies everything, etc. You can open yourself to it now, or not, that's it. It's an action, not something that you can know. If you were open to it a week ago and now you are lost in the density of form, it's meaningless for you.

You could say: reality is absolute being. And? It's meaningless. The point is open yourself to it, that's enlightenment

Why do you think they did it? Because the jew lobby? I don't think so. US is not the dog of Israel, Israel is the dog of US. Israel is the unbalanced equilibrium point of the most problematic and oil-rich region in the world. As Biden said, if Israel didn't exist, would have to be created. Maybe Israel is not so necessary, but the fact is, it exists. All its Muslim neighbors hate Israel. It's not that they're adversaries or competing for supremacy; they hate it viscerally. They also hate the US, and they hate each other, of course, but not as they hate israel. In this soup of hatred, Israel is a stabilizing center. If that center were destroyed by its neighbors, stability would suffer. The US needs its dog Israel to maintain control, and to do so, it has to provide military aid. But they can't claim it openly

It's not because it's a mystery, it isn't. It's because anything that can be said or thought is an structure. What reality is is not an structure, it's unthinkable. Reality IS. Yes and my true nature is seeking sex everywhere. No, that's not your true nature, enlightenment is always the same for everyone. Ramana, Buddha, basul, etc etc pointed it more or less clearly, or tao te ching. The true tao can't be said.

You can't say what is reality as it's essece because reality is reality. You can perceive yourself as essence when everything that is not essential becomes transparent. Becoming, form, structure, are not essence, are manifestation. You could say that reality is a bored god or anything, but what is a bored god when you stop focusing in its structure, properties, activity, becoming, relationship? When you open absolutely this exact moment absolutely naked of anything.

What all those things you mentioned have in common is that they are. What you, as a spiritual seeker, must do is open yourself to the absolute being. The structure of the issue is very simple; putting it into practice, not so much. Knowing is not the building block but a structure that reality takes now by a conscious center, you. Enlightenment means you opening yourself to your true nature. It's not something that you can think, because anything that you can think is structure, not substance. It's how, not what. The point is, what are you? Not a definition, but let's say, substance.

China is the main buyer of oil from Saudi Arabia and Iraq, which are allegedly controlled by the US. EEUU depends of China. The US seeks to contain China, not ruin it. By outsourcing its industry, the US has fostered China's rise, but now risks a total crisis. China, on the other hand, doesn't want a collapsed US or a Europe mired in poverty; it wants balance. The future is china and US know it, but US have to protect it's place as a power as long as is possible, just because it's better for US. Shit , so bad , the evil America Satan against the pure goodness of Russia, china and irán . Who will win? The forces of darkness, those evil Jews, or the light? The ayatollahs and Russia. We hope the light, like the Soviet union that enlightened the world and full of happiness and fullness great part of Europe. Let's see if we are lucky and the light wins. All agents play their own game. Everyone tries to achieve their objectives. Fair play is more or less like it is on the African savanna. Luckily, nukes exist, and total war wouldn't benefit anyone; otherwise, it would be constant. Dividing the world between light ewoks and the dark empire is a rather narrow view.

Pain isn't a thought, right? Anyway, if there are only thoughts, it's the same; thoughts are something, but what is that something?

Nothingness is impossible since you are writing it. You could say that you are an illusion, but an illusion is something. Nothingness is nothingness, then it's not, and reality is.

Plus Means that If we're talking about serious epistemology, in order to say "I am God," you should at least be able to create a couple of galaxies, or better yet, a universe with a different geometry, shrink it to the size of a marble, and put it on the table as proof.

That's a logical deduction you've made, which you believe is correct. Saying the opposite is just as correct. Perhaps it offers you some comfort by deactivating the part of your mind that assigns importance to things, thus enabling survival, but this has no relation to enlightenment it's just an statement that is true for you. Could be the case that you are immortal and you are going to reincarnate eternally in infinite lifes and knowing that wouldn't mean enlightenment. Even knowing every life and knowing that you are dreaming it or whatever, and be omnipotent wouldn't be enlightenment

Maybe your mind never ceases, but in deep meditation mind ceases. Try to understand what is said instead of argue. Well, no because your purpose is only being above. Boring.

When the mind ceases and interpretation is zero, there is still a barrier that keeps you closed off. I call it the desire to be. This is not something mental or an idea, but a stable energetic vibration that maintains the image of oneness. You can feel it in your body, in your entire reality. When the mind is empty of content, you can observe this energetic structure and be one with it, not escape it or try to negate or dissolve it, but merge into it. Then, at a certain moment, it ceases, and the total manifests. That is the game; it is an action, an energetic movement that occurs when all resistance ceases.

Nothing matters is an appreciation that is opposite to something matters, is just a judgement that happens in your mind.

"A dream" is a conceptual idea, same that non duality that this man is talking about . Emptiness , form, beginning , etc all are just ideas. Enlightenment in an action that happens now. No a definition or a realization of a cosmic joke. It's the openess of the actual moment revealing what can't be thought because has no limits.

That simply means the meaning ceases to be relevant to you, nothing more. For example, in your case, if they tell you that tomorrow you're going to enter a Nigerian prison for life, that would mean nothing to you; you'd be just as happy as winning the lottery, and that's fine, but it doesn't signify enlightenment. Look, you are, that's undeniable. The present moment is, or the reality is if you prefer. In your case, you're someone for whom being tortured by the Inquisition for two years or eating ice cream is the same thing; in my case, that's not so. But that doesn't mean anything in relation to the matter of enlightenment. The fact is that our experience, the now, this instant, occurs in a dense, opaque form. Enlightenment is the opening of that density, the fracturing of becoming, and the basic emotional contraction of the desire to be. This can happen in just a moment; it's an energetic shift, and in it, what reality is manifests. The total, period. Life and death occur in becoming. I and others are the same; the total cannot be defined or thought, it is what reality is. It's not the same than your normal experience but without the illusion of the self, it's not becoming, it's the self, the structure or form that reality is creating now opening itself to what reality is.

Yes, I understand, it's a joke that only a few selected people understand, the awakened. But look, it is just a mental structure. "Recognized", even it's by nothing, it's comparison. "Nothing" is comparing illusion with real. And "nothing" realizes that the self was an Illusion . Just knowledge, mind.

So you know that there is not anybody to surrender because the self was an illusion, then, as you know that, you are awake. Who? The one who knows that the self was an illusion?

The matter is difficult because it is the self that wants to let go of the self. So, instead of breaking it down, it elevates it to the status of a god, or the status of illusion. The true path is not conceptual, not a structure, but requires the direct observation of the contraction that constitutes you as a self, without denying it or thinking it is an illusion, since this label is just another structure. If you observe your contraction, feel it, become one with it, at a certain point it ceases, it opens up, and in doing so, the totality is revealed. The totality is unthinkable because it is total, and the fact that the totality opens up for you does not imply that you are "enlightened," since afterward it closes and becomes an idea.

It depends. If the regular army were to displace the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, which, besides being the guarantor of the regime, wields enormous economic power that many would like to share, and were to reach an agreement with the US, Iran would enter a period of great economic prosperity. If this were to happen today, Iran's economy would take off in just a few months. If something is so advantageous, many influential players will be waiting for their opportunity. It would be surprising if the best solution for everyone didn't prevail.

China thinks In a 20-year plan, not in emotional responses. What would get china conquering Taiwan? It's much better threatening about conquering Taiwan. China's number one ally is the US, and the US's number one ally is China. They can't live without each other; they're like two lovers dancing an Argentine tango, or perhaps more like a couple with children tired of each other but knowing that divorce is out of the question, as it would be ruinous. If Iran blocks the Strait of Hormuz, the third world war you're talking about will be everyone against Iran, and Iran will loose that war.

Its not a state of evil, it's just a state in their beginning. That's how humanity works: the strong survive, the weak don't. Every state has been founded on war, so the respect I was referring to is the very intelligent way of waging hybrid warfare. I would say that they should earn the respect of his neighbors, something he wouldn't do with friendly gestures, since he would be devoured, as the law of life dictates. So you think that the Iranian regime hates Israel due emotional reasons, because the Iranians are very worried and sad about the Palestinian, and they remember that secret police, that was bad, not like the actual secret police, that is good. Well, it's your right to think in that way but I think that you are misinterpreting the real reasons I think that the Iranian regime hates Israel due the fight for the supremacy in the area and over all because being the declared enemy of Israel brings influence in the Muslim world and legitimate his oppression to the Iranian people

Jiang desires so hardly the fall of US that he really believes the worst scenario possible, but that would be absolute political suicide for Iran, handing Israel the key to legitimacy in the Gulf. The fanaticism of Muslim regimes is always overestimated, when they are usually corrupt regimes that only seek to perpetuate themselves in power, like any other dictatorship. Power is power, it's equal for everyone. Have they filled the Strait of Hormuz with mines in revenge for the assassination of the Ayatollah? Why haven't they destroyed any desalination plants yet? What are they waiting for? I think that anyone in Iran who ask himself: what is the better option in all senses now? Would answer: change. Because the other options are catastrophic

I think it was, but we never will know it.

Most likely, the regular army will take command, displace the revolutionary guard, and there will be a regime change in a few days, and that this was planned from the beginning by Israel. It's the only logical possibility. Israel is not impulsive, they are smart as hell and merciless. And after this, the Arabs countries will recognize the state of Israel. I'm not supporting Israel, I bet a lot that they allowed the 8 October to destroy gaza, then attac irán and then annex the West Bank and create Great Israel, completely eliminating the possibility of a Palestinian state. But when someone is Machiavellian and succeeds at this level, I can't help but have absolute respect for their courage and effectiveness, even recognizing that he's absolutely evil. That's how history is made.
