@James123 What you're saying doesn't negate the fact that you could be wrong about the things you speak about. The thing is, if someone tells you that you're wrong or that there's more to realize, you will reply that what they are saying is an illusion. But, interestingly, you would do the same. What I'm suggesting is that there may be more things going on at a deeper level. Respectfully, I won't continue this conversation because our approaches are different and/or we are simply misunderstanding each other, even though we know/believe that the other is misled.

@James123 So you are satisfying yourself. Why though? You are stating things that are different from knowledge, I see. Why does understanding something have to come from the ego? Why should I trust you with that? You clearly understand that knowledge is an illusion and know that what you're saying is true and not true, which I understand. But there has to be something beyond ego because you are aware that it's an illusion. If we are satisfying our egos, then why should I trust any word of yours if ego is an illusion?

@James123 How did you make sense of what I wrote? It did change a lot. If it won't change anything, then why are we even communicating?

@James123 How do you know? Without knowing it, you can't use it and communicate with me. So you know that they are sentences, and you're asking me how I know them. I'm simply telling you we can't communicate what's unknowable. Yet we can, just by making it knowable. So every time we do it, we sell each other some knowledge, whether it is true or not. I know they aren't sentences, but they are also. Also, If I told you that there is a thing that is different than knowledge, whether it is an illusion or not, what would you say to me? Would you regard it as knowledge, which, as you stated, is an illusion?

@James123 Well, what I said was that without knowledge you wouldn't be able to communicate that with me, and that the I, or knowledge, being the biggest illusion might not be the end. After all, you are a human. (I'm not saying that knowledge isn't an illusion)

Then, like everyone else, you're selling illusions to me, whether you had an experience of the absolute or not. Don't you see that it allows you to go even deeper than what you already realized?

Imo, the ones that are not or are less constructed by humans, if those even exist, and that know the difference between the relative and the absolute, and they don't use each of them, especially the "absolute", to justify their crude biases or their willful ignorance. I think the important thing that guarantees its closeness to the absolute or truth is what is done to go beyond themselves (things that humans will never be able to control) and not to reiterate themselves by reading some scriptures, regardless of whether they are true or false, and viewing their interpretation of reality as an absolute or truth. And I don't know if those qualify as being religions. Maybe super- or meta-religion, or just spirituality with less groupthink or brainwashing.

English is a contextual language, which I think makes it easier to understand or be aware of relativism and to have a flexible mind. That is why, in my opinion—and this may offend some—evolved languages like English are superior to others, especially non- or less-evolved ones. However relativistic languages are, they create your reality in different ways.

@StarStruck Are the companies in the USA mentioning the gross salary for a job on their website or some other website?

@meta_male 👏😄

@StarStruck 8-11k is the gross salary?

@Princess Arabia So, I guess what men get wrong is that when they talk to one or a few women of nearly the same type, they generalize women from those experiences. So either they have to change themselves or they should find other women if it's assumed that they mostly know what's attractive to them. I'm not saying they have to continue to be the same way (a creep), but they could find someone who'll accept that behavior. I think there have to be some behaviors that most women find creepy. But also, why should men change themselves to something else that's not natural for them? That could also be said for women. I think authenticity, self-honesty, and open-mindedness matter here.

@Princess Arabia Do all of them have those feelings about the same behavior? I guess it has to be different, even a little bit.

@Princess Arabia One time I was just walking where people don't often walk, and I saw a homeless man with a knife pointing nearly at me. I had one of the most uneasy feelings of my entire life. The weather was perfect for that; it was in the autumn. But I walked past him as if nothing were there, and he was still looking at me. 😁 Does it describe the feeling that women get when they find men creepy?

Doesn't that make men sometimes creepy? Aren't women perceiving that as a potential danger?

@Emotionalmosquito So what if they call you a creep? Just back off, regardless of them being wrong. Maybe they don't like you, and they are being mean or defensive. Maybe you're a real creep; if so, then accept that and find creepy women. Like men, women are also BSers. Please build your "theories" about women based on your experience with self-reflection. One time I directly looked into a girl's eyes longer than it's usually expected as I was walking in the street to test what happened, and she started to blush hard in a good way as I was walking towards her. But it's dangerous; I don't recommend it, as not everyone on the street will like it. 😁

Hamas has successfully played Israel. They are making a fool of them. They want the world to see how ruthless Israel can be so that people perceive them as the "bad guy", regardless of whether they are right or wrong about Israel. Whether Hamas care about their people or not, it doesn't matter here.

@Consept Thanks for sharing. I agree with you, but in my culture, fathers (not all of them) either dismiss or overreact to their children's behavior for not meeting their expectations. They are terrible at being masculine (abusive, misogynistic, etc.), even though they are expected and want to be the providers. Also, the sh*t that women go through is unbelievable. They are worthy of great respect.

@Consept It can be that. But why not also single fathers? I get that at least the father has experience being masculine or he identifies as such (maybe he is more feminine and he is repressing that 👀), but I don't think most of them know how to teach or embody a more healthy or inclusive form of it.

@Emerald Perfect! I mean, who doesn't want or love a powerful goddess? I think one of the most important things is that children, especially boys, aren't given space to get in touch with themselves. @Consept Having two parents around doesn't necessarily mean that you'll be raised "right" . It can even be worse. Often, fathers, more than mothers, are overly focused on their boys not being or acting "gay" or girly, which can be traumatic.

@Buck Edwards There is always hope, but it can take months, years, or decades to change yourself. You can do those things for healthy reasons, but I doubt that you will easily know. Accept yourself, but also accept that there will be people who will hate you for that.

@mr_engineer You don't learn, you preach here.

@mr_engineer So this is why you champion being nice. The things you say here you won't say to women face-to-face because you still want validation from them, even though you're against that.

@Consept I never thought he could be a fraud. I learned some stuff from his podcasts, and his free meditation and visualization series, which lasted for a month, has had a great impact on me and healed a lot of childhood trauma. But I realized that, other than those things, there's not much to get from him. Discovering Leo's content made me sure of that.

Y'all have to look into hypnokink. 😁 It's an imagination workout, literally.
