Why on earth would anyone think that reality is love because of that? (Don't even answer). Anyway.. Sorry, I will try to shut up now. I don't want to hijack this thread.

Use any word but love. Why do you have to use the word love? A word which will provoke/be offensive/outrageous to billions and billions of suffering people and other animals.

Mental gymnastics, wishful thinking, far fetched, stupid.

Isn't it obvious? Open your eyes. It's because there is so much suffering in the world. I know for a fact that God isn't love. I speak from direct experience, which you guys normally praise. No one or nothing who allows so much suffering deserves to be called "love". It's as simple as that.

God is love? Saying that "God is love" is like a stone hitting your face hard and then say "the stone is soft". I don't understand how anyone can uphold such a belief for a extended period of time. Such a belief should crumble down fast. But never underestimate the power of wishful thinking I guess.

I like this one, but I don't know if what he says is true: I don't use to watch him because I think he's wrong on too many things, and because he seems too focused on getting money from his viewers. But maybe he's right about some things.

The question remains: how could that idea be tested, verified or proved? And I'm not even talking about science now. I'm talking about just proving it to oneself.

@Origins I spare you my case, because I'm a hopeless case. You're welcome.

And you know that? --------------- One time there was a woman who told me she's 100% sure that earth is flat.

You answered yourself there. We can only have different beliefs about it. Consciousness is a bitch, without consciousness we wouldn't be thinking about these kind of things.

You don't know that. Maybe all your recognitions and revelations were false. You don't even know if other people are conscious. So in that case there wouldn't even be any "everyone". I'm not operating in the materialistic paradigm.

You don't know if those "glimpses" was brain hallucinations or something.. I've also had all kind of "glimpses", and I don't know if they were real or just brain hallucinations or something..

You don't know if the "enlightened ones" are enlightened, or even if there is such a thing as "enlightenment"..

Yes.

I freaking love reading such words of wisdom in this forum, I want to hug you.

Well it's weird that for all other crimes you need a shitload of evidence before you can get convicted, because of that almost all criminals walk free in Sweden for example. It'a very difficult to get convicted. In Sweden the official motto in the justice system is: "rather acquit than convict". Hm I think it's the same thing in other democratic countries, I think it's called "benefit of doubt". But with rape there is suddenly zero requirement of any evidence at all????? All that is needed is a few words from a female. What the fuck? So I'm scared that I could some day be falsely convicted of raping a woman. There are many crazy evil women (also men) out there who do anything to harm the man (or woman) they hate, I know that from personal experience.

The answer to the question is no. What else is there to discuss? I think this thread needs a lock..

You will lose "it" again, (delude yourself) because it's impossible to stay in the state. There it sounds like you started deluding yourself again.

I like these too:

Life is so cruel, absurd and mysterious that people choose to believe in these kind of wishful thinking stories. It makes everything so much better and comprehensible. They brainwash themselves into believing nice stuff like this. But hey, whatever makes you happy. I don't blame you.

This idea could be true, but it's not provable. So it's just a belief.

Atheists, materialists, religious, spiritual, and psychonautic people (and whatever else groups of people there are) all think they are on the side which knows the truth. I think maybe they all are ignorant. Maybe I am too. I feel outside because I don't believe in anything specific, and I don't know anything. How am I supposed to know what is true. I really don't know anything ? Unfortunately this also means that I wont believe in any replies in this thread either, because I don't know whether what someone says is true or not. Because of that I haven't put a question mark in this post. I don't feel excited about what people will say, since their words don't mean anything to me. So I'm not sure why I even started this thread. Sorry I don't mean to be disrespectful.

I concur.

Such people should be in jail.
