@Enlightement I thought not in the spiritual sense right? What is physicality? It's something worth contemplating about at least for me.

@enzyme I predict that future generations of parents would stop assume that I play video games or do homework online. I predict that there would be less of this kind of black and white thinking in the future and improve the quality of homework and how it is done. However, because this assumption would probably go away, I can be grateful of the freedom I have now within reason of course since I can be responsible enough to create my own restrictions.

@Moksha @Enlightement Also, I have a big problem that could get me in trouble. Whenever I receive a technical difficulty escpecially while doing it, it feels like some "force" is trying to block me in some way so I get angry and curse God for it. This needs to stop. How do I stop blaming God for things that "make no sense"? If that actually means to stop thinking of God dualistically as a person with some agenda, how do I unlearn that idea about that is still at the back of my mind whenever I get triggered? Also, Leo said in his post about pragmatism post that he tries to reach God. How is this possible if God is infinite? By realizing that God is non-dualistic? Why would Leo say that non-duality is not Awakening if it implies that you are God? Why is this considered blastphemy? Why would this be interpreted as trying to compete against God like Satan? Christians fancy their faith in the idea that God came down to our level through Jesus Christ who died for our sins even though I find common ground more important among religions. I would say that I do believe in the resurrection except I don't know where Jesus ascended to afterwards and that he resurrected because he was deeply conscious of the nature of death. It could still just be a higher dimension. Christians try to give all of the counter arguments they could think of against the arguments of other people that would support the resurrection of Jesus. Even if that did happen, it would be a Christian bias to say that this is the ultimate miracle because the ultimate miracle is existance itself. I don't see the resurrection of Jesus as any more miraculous than Muhammed splitting the moon for example.

@Enlightement I don't see where you said this except from someone quoting this.

I might come up with responses later.

@corvusxHow come you can take psychedelics in high school?

@Leo GuraWhy not?

@Leo GuraCould awakening be harder without the mind course or handling more basic things?

@supremeyingyang

Hello, I have spent to long reading something that needs to be summararized and an essay that needs to get typed up that I'm not even close with completing which are due today. I currently typing this at 2:30 in the morning. Honestly, I really wish there was a better way to get to know what people are going through and it doesn't really need to be about me. I should have skipped play practice and have spent too much time packing for my trip and now I am screwed. I wouldn't want my job to be like this and my resume probably sucks or doesn't exist. The life purpose course isn't helping me with these problems. I also notice that I cannot find anything about how an active membership is different from a paid membership which can have my gaming data be on the cloud permanently and my Dad's cards don't work even with VPN or outside of Russia. I think that I would want to be a material scientist for engineering purposes but that will probably be wrong. It feels like I will lose valuable things forever from financial problems in the future and am not excited for graduating. I use to be when I was younger, but not anymore. Should I be posting this on other forums designed for these problems? How helpful is this forum really? Leo said that he is not so concerned about basic things like this but I don't think you know enough about me anyways right? I would still like your feedback, thank you.

@withinUverse Honestly, I have to go to church and the process of chaos to clarity is very slow after coming home thoughout the day since I forget about meditation. There is a lot to explain about it especially to a typical person in my life. What would your suggestion to me based on what I said and your knowledge about chaos to clarity?

@supremeyingyang Sorry, I haven't read your response in a while because of the play (How to Survive Being In a Shakespeare Play). How do i convince myself to let go of traumatic failures in general and specifically for martial arts? This is probably because of my autism, but I get discouraged of trying to do martial arts if I see everyone else succeeding at it except for me. How do I stop comparing myself to others even if other people's performances get presented to me? Did you say that I should do it on the weekends? It would feel like a distraction from my homework even though I could theoretically limit my time for martial arts. Btw, what do you think about this post?

@Leo GuraSo profound!

@withinUverse

@Leo GuraWhy do you answer people's questions if it avoids contemplation? I see how important it is but how do your words help them do that or anything else (doesn't necessarily have to practical)?

@withinUverse Don't you just click to choose files for attachments? What are you talking about?

@withinUverse What BBcode for forums? I had no idea that this was a thing.

@supremeyingyang I thought that I needed to win my Mom's approval right? What am I supposed to win my Dad's approval for? I thought that I already won it. Can you please remind me of what you were talking about? Also, notifications for posts has been turned on but it may or may not work on my device. I just didn't need it because of how busy I was.

Honestly I'm not sure if my art belongs in the art discussion or if I should bring up what I said. I don't want my artwork to be too repetitive. Also, a part of me finds what I said to be weird and cringy. You can easily misinterpret what I said about gender. Also, you can see that the man can still block the martial artist with his other hand. The challenge in this picture was that the martial artist needs to fight her opponent and have him look like he is experiencing more pain while she needs to control her own pain, having 100 pounds on her foot, a really sensitive body part. The reason why I am talking about martial arts so much is because someone on the forum suggested it.

@supremeyingyang But you are giving me benefits only after knowing that I have autism. What about before I told you? Being more confident right? Don't I need more knowledge in this case or would that just make decisions more overwhelming?

@withinUverse What brings you here with using the forum?

@withinUverse Wow, you are already creating high quality posts much faster than I did, good for you!

Thank you for all of your feedback. @supremeyingyang My brother is not doing so great to answer your question. He left college because of his girlfriend and isn't going back anytime soon. Winconsin is a very confusing place because of different information including the poverty rates. My Mom and Dad disagree and you guys and my research also disagree. I don't really know if I should go to Wisconsin or not. I forgot the college that my Dad suggested. I actually don't know what I'm doing. I'm taking what my Mom is suggesting by going to Liberty University in California since I know what it's like to live in California but honestly, I need to decide what the best course of action should be. Although I'm not specifically against Christians, Christianity is always there in my life and I'm not really sure if I want to continue that by going to a Christian University, I just don't know what I'm doing. Also, what should I tell my Dad if he asks me why I should sign up for a martial arts class? Why did you suggest it on the list?

Quote from phone: How is Non-Duality not Awakening when you said that Awakening is realizing that you are God and there that there is no one else but you? I don't see any dualities here. Does separation occur because there is no difference between duality and non-duality since it's a duality that collapses? What about my question of Non-Duality?

Although I messaged Leo with his name during the conversation, he just ignores me so here are my questions: How is Non-Duality not Awakening when you said that Awakening is realizing that you are God and there that there is no one else but you? I don't see any dualities here. Does separation occur because there is no difference between duality and non-duality since it's a duality that collapses? What makes God Alien Intelligence if God is everywhere? Is the intelligence "Alien" because it transcends human intelligence as the godhead?
