No self and nonduality is not solipsism my dear maga mod. Ask chat gpt.

I mean where is the motivation for arguing after you’ve resonated with that there’s no self.

I don’t like it. But then i sometimes still feel the need to say something.

Could you ask Leo to give us a radical nonduality section so i don’t have to argue with you guys. It‘s like as if we speak different languages.

Nah. Every other kid nibbling some mushrooms can have god realisations. But they still suffer in „life“. Liberation is seemingly the end of the personal story and personal suffering.

Liberation?

And then what?

I remember when i was a child. I always wanted these action figures like robocop, turtles but especially batman. I would attach so much meaning to these dumb figures like my life would get much better if i had them. And if i didn’t have them i couldn’t be happy. And i would try to guilt trip my mother into buying them.

Russel Brand? nah

It’s quite subtle but there are goals in everything. For example people pleasing = having relationships, being liked, being safe and so on. Looking cute = being liked, getting attention, being safe and so on. Being seen as a victim = getting sympathy, being liked, being safe. And of course this is all very innocent but in a way it also seemingly strengthens the structure of self through time and projecting into the future and so on.

Well no because you don’t really have free will to do anything.

It’s s good poster here more underachievers

Before fruit nonduality after fruit duality, knowledge and suffering.

Yea maybe because they don’t know the concept of avatar and don’t use that word. There are also different kinds of Christians, maybe gnostics saw it that way. But who knows i don’t really care about any religion either way.

You have a lot of „knowledge" Who holds all that knowledge?

I thought on a lower level they’re polytheistic but on a higher level all gods are an avatar of the same one god brahman the ultimate reality. They also have the trinity with brahma, vishnu, shiva. The problem with hinduism is that probably many religions came together over the course of centuries or millennia so stories meanings and gods change somewhat. Similar to Egyptian deities. And in a way you could say jesus in an avatar of the ultimate god probably.

Similar to Krishna no?

And who would do all of that?

It was a rhetorical question.

You’re wording it wrong. Maybe you could also say. Russia is such a hell hole. Such an abomination of humanity. Such a shithole country. That many Russians rather go to Ukraine to get blown to pieces by Bayraktar drones than to stay there. While we in the west have something to live for.

Most interactions with others have goals like establishing a hierarchy or getting something from the other person. Getting better, becoming a better person. But the one having all those goals is maybe just a mirage, so what if there are no goals actually?

I mean Russia in a way is fighting for its existence. Remembering glory days. Fighting against becoming irrelevant. A bit like Maga. But in a way the fight seems hopeless because of demographics etc. And now a war with a lot of casualties. Russia has to be autocratic to keep the Chechens etc. in line but there could always be a rebellion.

Sure but now with the rise of China, Russia has a new shot with BricS the global south and stuff. Also Russia has perfected propaganda and is undermining western countries with supporting far right parties anti EU parties, brexit and so on. They thrive in confusion i feel.
