That's a blow to the Revolutionary Guard, but only to a certain extent. First, they can't surrender; it would mean death or life imprisonment. They will fight to the death. Second, their strategy is decentralized and simple: launch missiles. The big job was organizing this structure, but now launching them and ruining the world economy is easy; if one commander dies, another replaces him. But killing those commander is a motivation for the next commander to reach an agreement. They are rich, the owners of irán, like kings. They prefer life than death, so if they can stay in the power, they will accept an agreement that doesn't shows them too obvious as losers, but not so rigid and impossible than they are saying now

Because they don't have symbolic thinking, but rather direct thinking. They see food and they want it; they see you as someone who will take it away, therefore they attack you. On the other hand, a human figures out that you've recently been having a lot of influence in the tribe, perhaps too much, and that this will make the girl he wants be yours. So he tells people that he saw you summoning demons, and that way someone, terrified by this, will kill you, and you will cease to be an obstacle. deep down it's exactly the same than the animals, in another phase.

@zazen . It's not the same as shouting "Death to Israel" in schools and in Congress for 50 years while simultaneously promoting an ultra-advanced missile program and funding three armed groups that surround Israel and bomb it regularly, not to talk about nukes. If they did that to South Africa, South Africans would be upset too. But if you prefer to twist the reality, it's your choice

@zazen It seems you don't understand that Iran has no connection whatsoever with Israel or the Palestinians. The Iranian obsession with Israel's disappearance is a tool for legitimizing an oppressive, dictatorial regime. You've bought into that narrative, but the Palestinians matter to the Iranians about as much as the Chechens did when Russia was bombing them. It's a scam perpetrated by the ayatollahs to legitimize their expansionist power.

It's not crazy, it's normal. Israelites are pro this war because they fear Iran, Europeans and most of Americans are not pro this war because they don't fear Iran, they fear the possible economic collapse that this war can provoke. Where do you see the mystery? Ask the Saudis, Emirates,morroco, even turkey. They will say that they are against, if iran regime endures, but pro war if it falls. Well maybe they wouldn't say it, but they think it. Btw, Putin has said that the conflict will probably finish in 3 weeks, i think he's a better source than Sachs and other pessimistic. Anyway, You should understand the situation. You're a Muslim living in London, right? What do you think of Tommy Robinson saying that Muslims in England should disappear? Would you like Tommy Robinson to be strengthened or weakened? Well, the same thing happens to the Israelis with Iran.

Teach us, oh severe and sad avatar. Please, teach insulting, as always. Then, oh special, if the mind arises, it's not me, who is? My mother? Maybe my cousin?

You are so bitter and sad, oh enlightened

It's not about believing statements, but about knowing and then expressing that knowledge with statements. For example, I might know that I have pain, and then say: I have pain in a bone. That doesn't mean I believe it, but rather that it's a reality I'm communicating. Life is reality in dual mode. Dual mode means knowing. You know that you are, and you can know what you are if there is not hindrance in you.

This fragment of the tao te ching expresses it quite good Lao-Tzu — Chapter XVI Attain emptiness to preserve peace. From the bustling arising of all things, contemplate their return. All beings grow in agitation, but then, each returns to its root. To return to the root is to find rest. To rest is to return to one’s destiny. To return to one’s destiny is to know eternity. To know eternity is to be enlightened. He who does not know eternity walks blindly toward misfortune. He who knows eternity embraces all. He who embraces all is great. He who is great is celestial. He who is celestial is like the Tao. He who is like the Tao endures. Though his life comes to an end, he does not perish.

@Ramasta9 agree, he looks fragile, but the 140 years old woman id say she's 48 bit punished 😅 Anyway he did 27 mg of 5 meo, first experience. That's not small thing.

Life is only a possibility that is happening, reality is not life, life is a concrete configuration that starts and ends

Growing to where? The point is to be aligned with the flow. The more open your structure is to the total, the more efficient your actions become, the more optimized your capacity for survival. People who see spirituality versus survival as a conflict don't understand. What do they think, that survival is bad and spirituality is good ? Reality is what it is; it's not a bad reality of low consciousness, it's reality. More clear is your sight, better for finding your place in the human machine. Thinking that the human machine is "low" is just narcissism

Trump seems seriously mentally deteriorating; he seems like a 12-year-old. I doubt Trump has made any decisions about this war. They let him make minor decisions and make him believe he's the great president. It's pathetic. And what the Marines will do? Suicide? Nowadays with drones any invasion is a hell, we can see it in Ukraine. J guess that they are going to put some pressure Maybe there is and he doesn't understand it. For Sachs everything is very simple, he's totally one tendency, no nuances Let's see how it ends. Really I don't understand it, but maybe they saw absolutely necessary to get low the military capacity of irán, destroying factories and weaponry. The Iranians will always say that this doesn't make them weaker, while the Americans claim to have destroyed 99.9% of Iran's offensive capabilities, so it's impossible to know. The fact is that Iran is an aggressive country. We'll see how the situation stands after the war; judging it now, as Sachs did, seems premature to me.

I guess the regime will gain a points of legitimacy. I'm trying to understand the logic of the US and Israel. What do they hope to achieve with this? It's childish to say they're mentally deficient; there's intelligence and strategy behind their actions. But I don't understand it.

Liberation from what? I am free now, and I cannot die, because I am what is. Right now I am the unfathomable depth that is, and I will always be. And the beauty of being is total, because it's everything. There are no limits.

Life is a manifestation of reality. Death is inherent to life; it is its dissolution. But what you are is not the form that dissolves, but its source. If you are open to it, death is something that happens within you, not to you.

The idea that others are not real stems from the notion that perceived reality is a dream being produced or created by a dreamer. This idea arises from the subjective perception, when taking psychedelics, that perceived reality is a dream. This makes no sense because if reality were an image produced by an entity, that entity would construct that image based on something: previous images, different experiences. Where are those experiences? In the past. Then time would be absolute, reality would be a timeline. And this is false; time is relative, it is something that appears derived from change, from becoming, and it depends of the observer of that change. In short, these ideas elevate the self/center to the category of god and linear time to the category of absolute condition. Exactly the opposite movement that you have to do to reach the openess to the totality/source/tao/god/anything

I don't understand why you decide there are no other experiences. Look, my experience is finite, right? I'm a guy typing on a phone, not a horse with a 5-foot penis or a multidimensional alien, so where's the experience of a horse with a giant penis chasing mares? Isn't that a possibility in the eternity of existence? Or will it happen "after" this experience? So reality is limited to a single sequential timeline? These ideas are very strange; for your mental health, better to leave them aside.

That's not correct, oh IA. The self isn't a thought; it's an energetic structure, or if you prefer, a neurological structure resulting from millions of years of evolution. Fear of harm, the desire for tribal belonging and reproduction, and social self-image aren't learned thoughts; they're default neural pathways created by genetics. Enlightenment isn't the disappearance of the self, since that's impossible; it's the opening of the self to its true nature.

Animals don't like being robbed. In fact, if you take their food, they'll kill you if they can. If you watch a documentary about the African savanna, you'll see they're all more ruthless and competitive than a group of cocaine-addicted Wall Street executives. Where do you think our, shall we say, evil character comes from? The prokaryotic cells were happily floating in the ocean, without any problems, but at one point, some cells joined together forming a small cell-eating monster to steal the energy from his pairs, and from then on, everything got complicated.

I understand what you mean: different aspects of the reality, god, infinity. This fragment of tao te ching expresses good what I meant Attain emptiness to preserve peace. From the bustling arising of all things, contemplate their return. All beings grow in agitation, but then, each returns to its root. To return to the root is to find rest. To rest is to return to one’s destiny. To return to one’s destiny is to know eternity. To know eternity is to be enlightened. He who does not know eternity walks blindly toward misfortune. He who knows eternity embraces all. He who embraces all is great. He who is great is celestial. He who is celestial is like the Tao. He who is like the Tao endures. Though his life comes to an end, he does not perish. What it says about knowing eternity being enlightened means being open to the totality. The facets of the totality are facets; the essential thing is being open to the totality and being one with it. With the Tao, I would say the Tao Te Ching, God, Nirvana, whatever. It is the absolute being, the limitless, the total openness that it is. At the end of the poem it says: "He who is one with the Tao does not perish even though his life ends." This means that if you are one with the totality, even though the human being disappears, the totality remains. Therefore, if your human structure was a hole to the totality, death is simply the disappearance of that structure, which does not affect the essential. On the other hand, if you are lost in form, death is total annihilation, since it is the dissolution of that form

How's the peoples feeling? Do they truly desire regime change, or is the fact that their country is under attack causing them to begin viewing the regime as legitimate?

Because the US is the dominant power, or was and wants to remain so, and cannot tolerate countries completely hostile to it expanding their sphere of influence and challenging it, as this would undermine its power. You might say: this is completely unfair, every country has the right to decide. True, but without the US, the Middle East would be like Europe at the beginning of the 20th century, with escalating tensions between regional powers that would lead to wars. Since the essential resource for the world economy is located there, this would be disastrous. Iraq, Syria, Saudi Arabia, and all the Gulf countries, except Iran, did not exist as nations until the 20th century; before then, they were part of the Ottoman Empire. The natural process of creation and equilibrium among all these countries would have been violent, as has always been the case in the formation of states. Then the balance has been kept artificially. Maybe would be better without interventionism? Impossible to know, but also, impossible don't being interventionist if you can. The Soviet union was pushing hard before, then the oil was so essential that the power in gulf was a must for US. Anyway, the world could have being managed better, but also much worse.

Yes but the reality happens in forms, structures, differentiations. these take on total prominence of what is perceived, and in doing so the perception occurs in a contracted and sequential way, creating the image of a self progressing along a timeline interacting with the external. if you want to fully open up you have to break that contraction, and get out of that sequential movement. Being absolutely open to the total now, then the self collapse and the limits disappear . It's like an energetic shift that happens when you are here and now without absolutely no grips, no mental capsule that protects you for dissolving yourself in the reality, then in yourself.
