You assume that God exists. What if God doesn't exist? By God I mean infinity. You may think that's silly, infinity is right? Since it is infinity, it simultaneously exists and does not exist. It also does not exist and not not exist. It also exclusively exists, and exclusively doesn't. It's this sort of unity. So when you ask why, there are assumptions. Why? Because there are no alternatives to this sort of Unity. What if there were? If there were, it'd be the case, and part of the Unity, When you ask "Why?" you look for a reason. But in this case, the reason is the object of inquisitiveness. Why God? Because God.

One underwear and a dream

We tend to hold thoughts in our mind to reach out to grab other thoughts that might or might not relate, so that we can connect them together into a web of interconnected thoughts, all representing concepts, to come together and form a more complex concept that may or not help in acting on the situation at hand. Or at least this is what I do when I try to come up with what to do in a situation. This is how I am coming up with what to write in this post. I have an overarching concept in my mind that I want to impress on this post. That concept, contains mini concepts that I am discovering as I write this post. What I notice is that someone who tends to be clever and quick is someone who has a larger capacity to hold these different thoughts. They can not only hold these thoughts together in a stable way but also be on lookout for other thoughts while simultaneously probing there situation for more data to work with. Often people who we call clever just have more experience regarding the situations and therefore are better at recalling strategies and lessons that they learned earlier. But what about those who are not experienced but still clever? We tend to call those intelligent and quick-witted. This is who I am talking about. I am not clever, no, not in the slightest. I have been called a simpleton many times in my life, And that is because instead of connecting thoughts together to come up with what to do, I simply guessed based on what someone else I respected as clever would do, or would want me to do. So, naturally I wanted to start thinking for myself after finding this out. I wanted to be able to think ahead. But I hit a roadblock, it's that I can't hold many concepts in my head at once. I can hold a couple, at least enough to write this post, but not enough to deal with people and situations in ways any cleverer than an average man. So my question is, how do I increase my capacity to hold more concepts in my head? I am basically asking how to download(unlock?) more RAM into my brain. IMO increasing this capacity is crucial to living a smoother life and also contemplating more efficiently. I am open to any holes you might want to point out in my observations regarding cleverness, so please let me know those as well.

People are too distracted, and too occupied to wonder metaphysically. You need to be at a certain level of maturity to even start wondering, but that won't even occur until you are unoccupied enough. Then there's additional effort to keep the wondering going. Without some sort of ulterior egoic motive, without a community, and without Guru's feeding us insights, many of us wouldn't even be here. It's not that most are dumb and that there are some rare curious individuals, most of the time one of the 'dumb' people were just at the right place at the right time, luck, or fate? If you make the case that some start out spiritually gifted, it could be anything from reincarnation to genes. If you believe it's genes then there is really nothing to attribute to the individual, it's just a privilege. If you believe in souls and reincarnation then it's not that these souls are rare and exceptional, they were dumb too, they just reincarnated enough times to learn their lessons and come further along the path. This paradigm of 'rare individuals' can be harmful in that one can start calling others dumb, blaming them. When really it's not anyone's fault. Either it's that some are lucky, or that they are just further along the path, or maybe some other paradigm. In any case, there is no reason to judge, because there never is. There must be empathy, for those who weren't lucky, or aren't far enough in their path, specially from someone who wonders about these things. And the empathy shouldn't be from a place of higher judgement but a place of recognition of the sameness that is each one of us. Maybe you are attached to spirituality and metaphysical curiosity, hence why you want to see it in others.

So if you go on https://www.reddit.com/r/place/, you can see that right now there is a live event going on where you can place a colored tile every 5 mins. You can see how such detailed art has been made and people working together. Doesn't this place act as perfect metaphor for the internet? Everything, no matter how different, has it's own corner. And it's constantly being changed, destroyed, and new things come into existence, slowly. The bigger the area they inhabit, the more people on the internet know it. Things coming into existence, because each person puts their effort and energy into manifesting it.

I have been trying the Ramadan fast(Day 2 today, just ended the fast), my erotic desire has gone down considerably, and I feel it's because of the fast. I still get the erotic desires but it is easily manageable if you have experience with how to handle these desires, how to manipulate them and work around it in ways that you safely tuck the desire back where it came from(not to be confused with suppression.) Even after ending the fast, the satisfaction of finally being able to drink water and eat is so great that you don't want to masturbate for the rest of the night. (Assuming you don't purposely indulge in anything arousing).

Although I can see what you are pointing towards and I agree with that 100%, I think there is one thing that needs to be mentioned though. It's that even though you had an orgasm, you can still question it after the experience is gone. After the peak, when you come down, you are back in a state where you need validation and confirmation. This means that even if you had a genuine experience, you can come on this forum seeking for confirmation. There is mental masturbation and speculation for sure, but there are those who genuinely seek guidance and pointers from others who are further along the path. If that is also considered mental masturbation and speculation, then having a personal guru guide you to realization should be also be considered the same. And if you do extend the notion of speculation that far, then that would be accepting that speculation can get you to realization, since good gurus can get you to realization.

In my experience anything which is not future predictions or past-life readings, have been useful, practical and accurate. For the future predictions and past-life readings, although they did feel accurate and resonating, most of them didn't actually come true later on. I am talking about Youtube Pick-a-card readings, which tend to be only positive and very rarely negative, those seems to be just to make yourself feel good if you are going through tough times. I haven't had a personal reading either online or in-person. I assume those would be much more accurate if done by a legit practitioner.

How do you think? The thoughts and actions happen on their own, even though it appears as though 'you' chose it. But 'you' is just one of those sensations as well. Let's say you want a flower to appear in your hand. It would have to happen on it's own as well, just like your thoughts. Just like how 'you' 'chose' what to think, 'you' will have to 'choose' what to appear. That's my theory. This goes well with what I have heard some time ago from someone who can perform some similar psychic feats, and I am paraphrasing, "First figure out how you generate your thoughts"

That sucks man, sorry to hear that. I wish you best of luck on your journey of life.

from "127 Hours", cutting off arm scene.

here's something i found regarding that image https://thepath2enlightenment.com/2020/10/22/journey-from-man-to-absolute-monad/

Limitations of youtube... I should have watched the video right when I got the notification. Well, I'll just let it go.

I like people because they are the children of god, this micro expression of the macro that is God. They are love, they are god. It is pure uniqueness in everything. If you can receive that then it is hard to find something to hate.

By "something" I mean God. Ultimately I, God, wants God. Why? I already have(am) it. Why do I want something that I already have? What does it say about the nature of I? What does it say about the nature of wanting? What does it say about the nature of that something? What does it say about the nature of already-ness? What does it say about the nature of having? All those are packed in that one question. And really on deeper contemplation of that question, it acts as a way to help embody the recognition of God(You). On initial contemplation it became apparent that on a gross level the body wants things, then the emotions, then the mind, then maybe something subtler and so on. What we call Embodiment is God descending down each step. As if an Avatar is descending down the heavens. It's seen to literally be the case that the more one embodies, the more of an avatar he/she becomes. This is a powerful question.

@softlyblossoming I am no better at embodying it either. The first time I didn't even mean to do it. It just came on it's own. It feels like suddenly the scene in front of you isn't 2d but has penetrated your head and gone past it. Just imagine a blow of cold wind sweeping across your face, but not just that, imagine it entering through your pores, penetrating your face and then eventually your head and brain, cooling it all down, then releasing itself from the back. That's how fresh it felt. To be honest, a Moojiji video about being present will easily get you there, embodying on the other hand..

My first aha moment was realizing the freshness of the present. "Wow"

There are multiple ways you can define "faith" because it's relative to the context you use it in. However the most common definition is that it means "blind belief". It is something that is usually religious and dogmatic. Most commonly used as a defence mechanism against contemplation into one's own worldview. What's interesting is that this definition is a degraded version of what the word actually means. See, truly "Faith" means a deep trust into the workings of the universe. This trust, only comes about when you experience an awakening into the perfection of existence. Unbeknownst to many, one of the qualities of existence is that it's perfect in every way, however the human society is too ignorant to realize this by default and therefore an average human mind would be required to do much effort before it can see this quality of existence. Once seen however, it's becomes obvious as to what 'Faith' truly means. You do not need to worry, you do not need fret over what you think is wrong anymore, precisely because everything is seen to be perfect and that the existence of 'wrong' is just an illusion. The foundations of the existence of 'wrongness' or 'imperfectness' is rooted in relativeness. Relative to your survival. When reality is realized to be perfect, this illusion is seen through because survival isn't a concern anymore. How the current definition faith came about is due to the average human not being able to grasp the true meaning of this word. That's why to an unrealized mind, what faith seems like is "blind trust into workings of existence", as opposed to "clear trust, verified by one's own direct experience, into the workings of existence". Furthermore, the definition is degraded even more, that now it's not just "blind trust in the workings of existence" but "blind trust into the workings of a particular authority". Now this authority could be a your ideas about God, an institution, a book, your parents, etc. All of this happens simply because collectively we are not evolved enough to keep this word's true meaning intact. And this goes for various other words as well, such as "Love' "God" "Truth" etc. Therefore it becomes very important that you know the true meanings of these words because it aids in quenching your thirst to know what's true. "Faith", really, is rooted in direct experience, rather than blind belief. This kind of faith, provides you with feeling rooted in your trust towards the perfection of life. You do not care if the universe is for you or against you. You do not care if according to God's plan, you'll have to suffer immensely the rest of your life and die a miserable death because whatever existence manifests itself as is seen to be perfect. At this point, anything and everything becomes self-evidently perfect. You are not the point of concern anymore, unlike the degraded meaning of 'Faith'. In the degraded meaning, you are concerned that you will have to assume responsibility of your own worldview and that you can't just ask a higher authority for the truth. But in the true sense of what 'Faith' means, not only you assume full responsibility, but also are not concerned with yourself anymore. In fact there are no points of concern anymore. 'Faith' really is a quality that makes one indestructible, rather than making them akin to a flimsy house of cards.
