What is spirit?

That's nice when you live in a house that, to exist, millions of generations have had to evolve and fight to the death against mortal enemies and win. Then now it's comfortable to be a hippie who thinks all that is very wrong and that you'd go to another house. There is no other house if you don't conquer it. The good thing is that others have done it for you, so that you now see that as low level of consciousness, comfortable in your protected environment

No, I don't support the killing of children , what I said is that if Palestinians focus on a culture of hatred, martyrdom, and death as core values, it's impossible for them to achieve anything different to that. Israelis are expected to be benevolent toward a people whose core value is the destruction of Israel, but this is unrealistic. Of course, it's absolute sterile pointing that to you, because you are a emotional Muslim full of victimhood ,then you will say that I like murder babies, but anyway I do, just as an exercise without any hope.

Caricatures like you, you mean? No, I was talking about something common but not so exaggerated. Anyway, be happy in your noble crusade.

It's instructive because it reflects the way the entire European left thinks. I know many people who think like this, ordinary people with ordinary jobs, who approve of the October 8th massacre, and if you raise any objection, they turn red with anger and start saying that Jews are a nation of murderers and that Israel is doing exactly what Hitler did and it must disappear. It's very interesting to try to understand that psychology. If, for example, you tell them that the Iranian regime has killed tens of thousands of protesters, they'll say it's disinformation, and that most of them were Mossad agents carrying weapons. This is because they have an absolute psychological need to organize the world into servants of light and servants of darkness, like in fantasy novels, Lord of the Rings, Star Wars. It doesn't matter if they're 16 or 50 years old, they need to remain at that level. Everything revolves around the emotional release that a stimulus produces. And they've internalized that jews are evil, jews that devour babies on remote islands and that dominate the world by enriching themselves with the blood of the worker. Thankfully, there are still brave Palestinian warriors who stand up to them, and heroic ayatollahs who will give them what they deserve. They even spend their time producing videos where Israel is bombed and devastated, happy that good triumphs over absolute evil. The point is that people are like children. His entire narrative can be translated as: I need to feel like a good guy and blame the evil people for my shortcomings. That worked very well for Uncle Adolf back in the day; it's a primitive and effective strategy. Let's unite, noble souls, against evil. Paradoxically, it's always the other way around: the wicked unite against a scapegoat.

Interesting reading. About those revelations, reality is love, there is no time...they are just a different angle to understand the form, the becoming, don't you think so? Ultimately are irrelevant, or a hindrance. Only in the total emptiness you are open to your nature.

Agree with spirituality serves as a buffer against the fear of death, but the problem arises when you try to erase that fear by convincing yourself that you understand there is another life, continuity of the experience being you. This is negative because any error you make a structured framework closes off your possibilities for true understanding.

Hate is simply an emotion of rejection; there's nothing wrong with it. For example, if there are 400 flies in my house, I hate the damn flies, and I'll spray them with poison while laughing evilly with hate. If there is one fly, maybe you spray it with Buddhist compassion, but if there are 400, you will see . Imagine that they were 400 scorpions in your house.

I don't mean about becoming better, more integrated, or whatever else is possible and desirable, but about having moments of total openness to what is exactly now. You don't need to be a saint with everything integrated; you need direct intelligence to see, right now, the contraction. The essential thing is to be absolutely in the now, totally focused on this, without defining anything, and to perceive how the contraction and projection, the continuity , are keeping you separate. If you see them directly now, they open up, and only what is now remains, the totality of what is. That's all the thing, mysticism is just subjective feeling, could be real, same than the self, but it's a grip. The total is open, that's everything. You don't need psychedelic for that, in fact they are confusing. The point is total clarity, not hallucinations .

The self has a genetic basis and is formed throughout life. The moment you receive a blow and feel pain, a part of your brain activates and self-programs. In the human case, the conceptual function promoted by language captures a large part of the processing capacity, creating a social self that sees itself as a timeline. The point is not to deny the self, which is as real as a stable energetic structure, but to completely deactivate it at will and be now without any definition, any contraction, or projection. At first, it's scary, in fact, extremely scary. Leaving the womb of the social matrix is a great challenge. Your whole system screams, because you are absolutely dependent on that matrix. You might believe you are God or anything else to avoid being absolutely naked without any grip. As if you were born right now but without the need for a mother, attachment, relationship. The self is not identity, it's contraction plus reference plus continuity. When those energetic barriers dissolve, what you are is revealed, but you need the courage to be without mother matrix . Really, nothing new is revealed, but rather the filtering structure ceases to interfere, and what remains is what is.

No, I've never liked speed at all. Anyway, I find some races , for example that in Isle of Man , amazing. What kind of madness is that? I can't understand that psychology It's always a possibility, but without them, the USSR and NATO would have fought a war that would probably have dwarfed World War II, so for now the balance is favorable

Sure, Buddha had a very strong desire, that's why he started his path. But, how did Buddha come to the conclusion that there is a wheel of reincarnations, and that according to your behavior and energetic configuration, you are reincarnated into one thing or another, until you reach nirvana?

😅yeah sounds insane The usefulness of nuclear weapons is deterrent, but to achieve this, they had to be used at least once. Now, thanks to nuclear weapons, we do not live in a state of total war; therefore, we are using them.

I don't think so. You probably don't believe me, but I can induce myself enlightened states with relative ease. States of zero contraction, total expansion, openness to what is. But you know what? If you're human and you don't do human things, it's like having a 300 hp Kawasaki and using it as a chair. Yes, okay, it's comfortable, and going 400 km/h seems pretty stupid, but that's what the bike is for. We have a very sophisticated device, then what I see is that using it as deep as you can is a must. There will be time to rest when we are dead.

Let's say that the inevitable fact of being has a positive character. Not positive as in "good," but as in affirmative: it is, rather than not being. This affirmative character is perceived as expansion, creation, a flow of coherent relationship. If you are open to what is, you perceive its ceaseless dance, its affirmative brilliance. Advaita calls it sat chit ananda, that which is, which knows itself as being, and rejoices in its limitlessness. You could call this "love" if you want . I would say it's more the other way around: love is existence, not existence is love. But better than love , existence is. That implies everything.

What you're suggesting is impossible, since they'll tell you that Palestinian violence is justified. They defend themselves against the evil Jew with intifadas, terrorist attacks, and even parading 18-year-old girls with all broken bones almost dying while the entire population cheers is legitimate, since the evil Jew is evil, and the good Palestinian Fremen are defending themselves against absolute evil, which is the bad Jew who deserves to die. Therefore, burning 18-year-old girls alive with gasoline while hysterically shouting "Allah is great" is absolutely normal, and you deserve it, you disgusting Jew genocidal. Then, if you want to content those people, you have just to disappear. The other option is forget those people and survive doing what is necessary. That's life.

It's not about knowing whether you are or are not the body, the chair, God, the other, but about being open to the nature of what is.

This is a Buddhist poem, or text. I don't like it, a lot of identification and projection, ideas that they want to put in the reader's mind. But when i read it first time I thought it was very deep. The difference lies in overlooking certain things that grate. I am the master, pure and total consciousness, from which everything manifests. Pure and total consciousness is the supreme source; it has created the Buddhas of the three times. From it have arisen the beings of the three worlds and all that is animate and inanimate in the universe. Pure and total consciousness has created everything and has created nothing. It has created everything because it has created its own nature, pure and total. It has created nothing because within it there is no need to create. When my nature is not understood, and the phenomena that manifest from me become objects of judgment, desire and attachment give rise to the creation of a concrete vision—impermanent and destined to vanish like a magical appearance—and one becomes like a blind person who does not know what is happening. As I transcend all affirmations and negations, I am beyond all phenomena. As there is no object that is not myself, I am beyond meditating on any view. As there is nothing to maintain apart from me, I am beyond the commitment of observing. As there is nothing to seek other than myself, I am beyond obtaining the capacity for spiritual action. As there is no place outside of me, I am beyond any level of realization to be surpassed. As I have never encountered obstacles, I am beyond everything as self-arising wisdom. As I am the ultimate unborn nature, I am beyond everything as the final subtle true nature. I am called “the perfect condition” because everything is contained within me. I am called “the source” because the master, the teaching, and the disciples arise from my three natures. I am the essence of all phenomena; nothing exists that is not my essence. The masters of the three dimensions are my essence. The Buddhas of the three times are my essence. The Bodhisattvas are my essence. The four types of yogis are my essence. The three worlds—of desire, of form, and of formlessness—are my manifestation. The five great elements are my essence. The six classes of beings are my essence. All that is inanimate is my essence. All that lives is my essence. All habitats and the beings that dwell within them are my essence. Nothing exists that is not my essence, because I am the universal root: there is nothing that is not contained within me. The unborn, the wonder of birth, and the manifestation of energy are the three aspects of the three masters: this is their condition. As the three times—past, present, and future—reside exclusively in me, all Buddhas are in the same condition: this too is my essence. As I transcend the dualism of subject and object, like space I am all-pervading, and I constitute the fundamental substance of all phenomena. My essence is pure and total consciousness; I, who am the source, abide in the single state, and in this same authentic condition are the practitioners of the “four yogas.” Recognize my nature, the supreme source that is pure and total consciousness. Teach that all phenomena of existence are only me. If you transmit my teaching, all your disciples will realize my nature and become this very same nature. If my nature were to reveal itself compassionately to the beings of the three worlds that have arisen from me… Thus I, the supreme source, reveal my nature by showing it to myself. Nothing other than this exists. None of the Buddhas has ever received a teaching higher than this from me, the source. Apart from this condition of equality beyond concepts, I myself—the supreme source from which everything arises—have absolutely nothing to show to myself. Listen! As all of you are created by me, you beings of the three worlds are my children, equal to me, the supreme source. You are me, inseparable from me. Thus I manifest to you, and through the five masters of the natures I teach the single state of the five essences (the elements). I am the single state—I, the supreme source. You too are that; be certain of this.

Because everything that appears is change, as we can see, then at the end this structure of experience will dissapear, same than everything that appears.

Mathematics consists of formal patterns of relationships that are coherent, and manifested reality is made up of coherent relational patterns; therefore, everything that exists can be represented mathematically.

A simpler explanation: reality is. Erase everything except this fact. Open yourself completely, without mind or structure, to the fact that you are, right now. If nothing limits your perception, the totality of being manifests, and you are that.

Obviously they can, because if not all the eternity would be a person in the earth with a phone now.

According to Buddhism, the key is to abandon desire and preference. If everything is equal for you, the gates of heaven open. So the monks seek a life without attachment, desire, or fear, in a monastery without stimuli or the need to struggle. Pretty boring. It's possible to open your mind to enlightenment while still having attachment and desire; it's a matter of intelligence. You can trick your system into deep meditation by placing yourself in a position where nothing is distinguished from anything else, then the blockage falls. Afterward, you return to the fight, as any living being.

I'm not talking about identifying with reality, but about opening yourself to the fact of what you are. It's not about knowing something, but a change in the energetic structure of what you are. Maharshi, Basul, Buddha, the Taoists, they called it enlightenment, because it brings a luminous quality to your experience, the end of the lack. The total, unlimited being shines because it is, it recognizes itself, and its limitlessness translates into total joy. Sat Chit Ananda, as Advaita Vedanta said. Btw, what fear to death? How could you fear don't exist? It's like fearing deep sleep, there is nothing bad in it. But reality is and you are that. The human will dissapear, same than any other form, but the reality is. Maybe you wouldn't know, remember, feel it, because it belongs to form, but you are, that's inevitable. Just trascend the human for a moment and open yourself to the totality, it's not a magic history or anything, it's the obvious fact of the unlimited being.

Why do you think perceived reality is imaginary? There's something impossible to deny: everything that appears is related to something, to a prior condition. This prior condition can be a cause, the will of God, or whatever, but it is prior, it exists outside of what appears. So if there is something outside of what appears, there is infinity outside of what appears: other consciousnesses, other realities, whatever. Why even if you elevate your consciousness or reach god mode or whatever, you can't fly? Obviously, because there are infinite preconditions that prevent it, that make reality exactly as it is. You might say: because as god you imposed that limit. But you imposed it "before," it's an event outside of what appears, so what appears is limited. Then others realities are limiting it. How to denying this?
