😅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?

No, it's the reality of humans. All those ideas about love and than are beautiful and comforting, but my point is more looking directly to the reality. Really do you think that this about slavery, etc, is imaginary? Things are as they are, I didn't say that are bad, I just described some facts. Btw, all those who says: everything is love, evilness is just ignorance, etc, put them in a difficult situation. 99,9% would sell their mother in exchange of survival 1 day more. Imagine what would do to you.

And what's your excuse for using technology made with materials that destroy ecosystems, clothes made by semi-slaves in factories that destroy rivers and forests, and getting around with energy that pollutes the sea and air, killing millions of beings? Besides, you eat those vegetables you're so proud of, grown in fields obtained by devastating forests and transported by ships and trucks. So many dead beings and destroyed ecosystems just so you can feel morally superior, better than others

I guess that it depends of the situation. If I have a choice, much better love, harmony, solidarity among humans, deepening my understanding of reality, enjoying the good things in life

Human history doesn't show that; it shows that efficiency lasts. For example, Western civilization transported 20 million enslaved Africans like cattle to America, and the result was quite good. This doesn't imply that Western civilization is evil, since all other civilizations did the same. Even among Native Americans, 30% were slaves captured from other tribes. What we call evil is the norm, and there's no karma to punish it, only in fairy tales.

The Japanese considered themselves great people, cultivating self-control, order, and sacrifice for the greater good. But in China, they killed 25 million people, did things like gang-raping girls in front of their parents and then burning them alive with gasoline, or holding beheading contests. They are a prime example of absolute evil, yet at the same time, they were noble and devoted to the glory of their country. I would say that when total war breaks out, humans become demons because the situation demands it. It's easy for us to condemn the evilness because no one is trying to kill or enslave us. If that were the case, we would tie Epstein to the torture post and torture him for two days straight in the most horrible ways possible while we danced around thanking the gods for such a gift. Think about the Sioux and those, they were very good people if you are their friend, but if not, they would bury you in an anthill and all kids would be laughing happily watching you being devoured alive.

Fortunately, this is the case. The alternative is that some crazy person like Trump, Hitler, or the ayatollahs would have real power, and that would be catastrophic. Real power is not held by an individual, but by a self-regulating system composed of individuals.

I guess that it depends of the situation, for example, the Americans dropped two rather unloving atomic bombs on Japan, which were quite necessary. After that, they were the best of friends.

If everything is love hate is also love, then you can hate Epstein, even torture him and then do a party and grill him alive and eat it, that's also love. If you don't love hate, then what kind of love is that? If you love hate, then hate.

War is fighting for surviving, and it's the nature of life. Life is war against entropy.

Jesus Christ doesn't say a single word about suicide. It was established that suicide is a mortal sin after Saint Augustine; it was then that Christianity became an ideology of absolute terror, since it established eternal hell and original sin. This happens when Christianity ceases to be a marginal religion and becomes an instrument of power. Instruments of power want to have power over their puppets; these puppets cannot decide about their own life and death because their lives do not belong to them, they belong to the power structure.

Yes but would that benefit China? The US is its main customer; the US and China are partners, not enemies their interdependence is total. Where have you ever seen enemies with such a huge volume of trade?

I don't see why violating children is necessary for the existence of human civilization, but destroying ecosystems to maintain cities is. I don't see anything wrong with raising animals and killing them if their lives are lived decently, with space to roam, access to the outdoors, and generally good conditions. An animal is not the same as a person; a chicken doesn't mind being on a farm if it's comfortable. I personally almost never eat meat, but I do eat eggs and dairy products, supposedly with certain guarantees of animal welfare. Imagine you were a chicken, would you mind being born and dying on a farm where there is space, access to the outdoors, and good food? Why?
