i@Breakingthewall it's probably the language barrier +'my poor English - you read me too literally sometimes😉.

@James123 ah... "no toilets..., damnation without relief" 🤣🤣🤣. I strongly belive that God is The Great Joker. Otherwise he would be just a dick. Maybe powerful, maybe omnipotent, but a dick.

@James123 Don't you think that a very well-masked form of attachment is, for example, excessive seriousness? Take these guys below, for example. Their playfulness with words and form is impressive. I die of laughter every time I watch them🤣🤣🤣 Or this guy: I know, it's a bit off-topic, but I understand what you're trying to convey. I just sense a strange seriousness in you... But maybe it's because of your suit icon😉.

that's what I thought - no dinner...

@James123 Hmm... that's a very funny and very interesting question: does God, in his purest, original, primal form—non-form—think at all? And if so, what about? Maybe: "what will I have for dinner today? - oh, no, first I need to cook, sorry, create this fucking universe!" Who knows?

@James123 ...maybe it's because if you think, or worse, think too much about your True Self, you wouldn't be able to learn anything about your T-Self?

@James123 What do you think you already know? No offence. Just asking, after reading your quote at the bottom of the post.

@kbone And what else does this absolute perfection have to do but constantly create new, relative spectacles of self-discovery—perfect imperfections in which it explores even the wildest possibilities? For me, that's already incredibly interesting. And I'm not a born-always-beautiful-young mult-millionaire. Every day, I deal with reality, sometimes very difficult. But I finally understood that only in overcoming difficulties, in conquering myself, do I find the zest for life. Even though it's all for nothing, and "all those moments will be lost in time like tears in rain".

@James123 It's all oneness anyway. Does the form in which it manifests really matter? The relative exists within the absolute, like mirrors in which the absolute recognizes itself/plays, or whatever. Dreams exist; the fake is real in the relative sense. This is the message of Ramakrishna, Vivekananda, and their successors. The more we crave this ephemeral nonduality, the greater our resistance to duality. There's no need for that, imo.

@Breakingthewall It seems to me, however, that the limitlessness of existence has a built-in limitation stemming from its very nature. This limitation is the aforementioned logic. For example, according to the logic NOTHIGNESS cannot exist, because NOTHINGNESS is identical to non-existence. Therefore, all that remains is existence. Existence, which has no beginning or end, cannot be interrupted. NOTHINGNESS cannot constitute an interval of existence, because NOTHINGNESS never occurs. I've noticed that many times here on this forum, NOTHIGNESS is often confused with EMPTINESS which is something utterly different. Of course, we are dealing here with the limits of what the human mind can comprehend within the framework of available logic. Nevertheless, something within me tells me that 2 + 2 = 4, regardless of whether I'm the one doing the calculation or some super archangel from the 10th dimension.

If the meaning we give to life is expressed through our guiding narrative, then the only thing that truly matters to me in this game of meaning-making is that my story and its execution leave room for other stories. It doesn't usurp any superiority—in short: live and let live.

@Breakingthewall Oh, I have no certainty whatsoever. Of all my hallucinations and delusions, the image I've sketched above resonates with me most, or appeals to me most. But it could just as well be as you say—things can, in the end, be completely different from what we imagine here. It's really hard, very hard, from a personal perspective, to find a shred of reliable objectivity. The only thing that frees me from myself is less of myself, more of others. Or more of me in others, and more of others in me.

@Breakingthewall It may be helpful to recognize the hierarchy of identity, which is literally a kind of "inward" scaffolding on which, or rather, in which your character is embedded. This scaffolding is like a matryoshka doll, because first you must be a resident of this universe to inhabit this local group of galaxies. Then you choose the Milky Way, and within it, this star system, the so-called solar system, and planet Earth. Only then, descending, as it were, into the cosmic matryoshka doll, can you choose the continent, country, city, village, community, and finally, family in which your entire drama will unfold. Therefore, your cosmic identity is primary to your earthly one. It's not a matter of faith, but simple logic. I found this obvious truth very helpful in deflating the ego ballon.

@Breakingthewall The inevitability of death—of leaving this physical plane—is a powerful stimulus to begin asking ourselves more fundamental questions about the nature of existence. However, each individual plane, each role to play, consists of birth—of entering the stage, of playing a role that, in my opinion, is only partially outlined, and death—of leaving the stage. All of this forms a cosmic whole and is a process that unfolds over time. This process isn't something that falls from space, in the sense that it's embedded in the broader context of family, community, nation and its history. All in all, it's a rather complex, multi-layered saga about humanity on Earth. Relax and play your part as best you can. Admire the scenery. That's all. There's nothing to achieve here. This dimension is the hardcore periphery of existence. Not much can be seen from here.

@Breakingthewall I've been reading your posts for a long time, and the sincerity of your intentions in uncovering the truth is obvious to me. However, like any uncompromising thinker, you walk a thin red line between logical tautology (not to be confused with commonplace tautology!) and circular reasoning. I believe you're aware of this razor edge you're walking. Wish all the best to You.
