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.

I love cats too, but I don't have one. This channel is pretty funny, although I don't watch it that often https://youtube.com/c/Kittisaurus

Yes I have.

I don't know. I just want to know why I'm here and what all this is is. I woke up in the world not knowing why or how. And I'm suffering and I'm not allowed to leave the world because of the hardwired survival instinct. It's like someone would wake up in a prison cell with wiped out memory and knowledge. That person would probably want to know what the hell is going on.

Amen.

If he can see Crysty it means that photons are hitting the retina in his eyes. That means a camera can also record the photons.

No there isn't.

Sweden.

Now imagine that extended over your entire life until your death. And also imagine that you don't have a single online friend either. (That's my life.)

Some people think he's delusional, some people think he's not delusional.. I think maybe he's delusional, or maybe he's not, how could I know? But I don't think this is a cult, since this doesn't fill all the criterions for it. Yawn.

I think I have found the definitive answer to what is good/right and what is bad/wrong. And it applies to everything. This is actually obvious, but it's still nice to consciously be aware of it and understand it, because then you can consciously do a suffering calculation for every decision and opinion. And it should maximize the chance of making right decisions, having healthy opinions, and be a good person. Good/right is that which in total causes least amount of suffering for everyone involved. Bad/wrong is that which in total causes more suffering for everyone involved. The examples where this can be applied are endless since it applies to everything. You can make rational calculations about everything, what will result in least amount of total suffering? Although with some things it can be difficult to make the calculation. And you also have to see the suffering total thing in a long term time perspective, unfortunately the human intellect can't predict what effect a decision/action today will have in a million years, but this should at least be a start. Topics like: abortion. Gun control. Right wing vs left wing. Which countries are good and which are bad. Who is wrong and who is right when a couple is fighting. Humanitarian interventions with military. Should you quit your job or stay. Should you go to bed now or not. Euthanasia. Suicide. Break up with partner or not. Nuke Japan (in WW2) or not. Brush your teeth or not. Some things which are easy to calculate: abortion is good, since the fetus doesn't suffer at all from it, but the parents (and probably the child) escapes lots of suffering (ofc assuming that there's a good reason for the abortion.) Guns should be banned in USA. The suffering caused by everyone shooting everyone constantly every day 24/7 is much higher than the suffering caused by not owning a toy. Euthanasia. There should definitely be euthanasia in all countries. Suicide. From my point of view I should definitely kill myself. It would spare me a lot of suffering. There's no question about that. But since it would completely destroy the lives of my parents, the win for me not having to suffer is probably less than two lives getting completely destroyed. So the suffering total calculation tells me to not kill myself. USA nuking Japan in WW2. It was probably the right thing to do because if Japan hadn't surrendered then more lives would've been lost and it would had resulted in a larger suffering total. Right wing is wrong and left wing is right. Because I think right wing causes more suffering, because they are selfish etc. Suffering every day a tiny bit by brushing your teeth has a lower suffering total than not brushing your teeth and then your teeth rot away. So really, anything that causes least amount of suffering is good and right. Now let's in our lives rationally calculate our actions, decisions and opinions based on the suffering total formula.
