I don’t get how there’s a version of me outside the body

Why couldn’t infinity create something seemingly limited? It works if the limit is illusion that’s my thought Yea I wrote the same argument here, that enlightenment can’t end reincarnation because it would have already happened if we assume eternity I don’t get it

It’s one of many paths. It’s one of many solutions to a problem. It might fit you where you are in your particular path or not, depends on you. So there’s not a clear answer. But something to keep in mind is that sometimes the idea of development of consciousness can be just that, an idea that someone has that isn’t very tangible or grounded in direct experience

There’s a woman named Tiffany that has a somewhat viral “Tiffany plate” it’s called, where she combined various veggies, a sausage, and mustard and cottage cheese, I kinda wanna try it some time It’s healthy if you chose a healthy sausage with minimum ingredients. And you get a variety of veggies and fruit with it.

Spirituality sometimes deals with emotions, nervous system regulation, holistic health, all those things when worked on reduce the neurotic stress that can be associated with self development, one can get burnout for example. So that’s a risk if you don’t include spirituality.

Feeling can be tied to concepts. Like if someone gets conditioned to value their heritage, that is a concept, a country is an idea, then they can have feelings associated with the concept of their heritage. There’s not much of a limit to how complicated of ideas can trigger feelings. It’s not all survival, one can cry at the view of something beautiful for example a waterfall

Exactly everything that is limited is a relative truth like the sky is blue because it’s within the context of language for example I don’t understand your first paragraph , and second lol. How come the version of me is never going to die?

Stress reduction. Wow this one’s huge. Stress contributes to inflammation, disease, aging etc

Hes not even reacting at his weirdness lol just talking casually

A thought I have had: if reincarnation stops after enlightenment, then in all of eternity, enlightenment must have already happened since the probability of it is less than zero, so the cycle of reincarnation would have stopped already, but since we are here, it must means reincarnation doesn’t stop after enlightenment, because then we would not be here. Also maybe reincarnation isn’t true, but rather we “spawn” randomly, so this life has nothing to do with the previous life, there’s nothing that “transitions”, no residue from the previous life. I personally believe there’s something to the idea of reincarnation and “the souls evolution” because for example there are people with seeming memory of a past life. And maybe reincarnation stops after enlightenment but it’s just a temporary end. Sooner or later we spawn(incarnate) again, and how long that takes doesn’t matter because in eternity a million years is like nothing. But sooner or later we will incarnate no matter what, enlightenment or not, because maybe two lives don’t have to be related, so we will incarnate because the probability of life appearing is more than zero, so in eternity it will always happen again, so I believe. So I think reincarnation can be true, but it’s still relative, it’s one of many dreams that infinity can dream.

I don’t think we all are searching for truth. Other things we could be after is pleasure, happiness (it’s vague because happiness is tied to objects so we are searching the objects of happiness), love, peace, thrill, Etc. You could frame it differently though. Some non dualists say the self is looking for the end of itself, seeking is seeking the end of seeking, and since there’s no actual self. That is the truth, so in that manner we’re looking/longing for truth. I don’t know if I necessarily agree, becuase we can find happiness even as selves, it’s not all suffering. But I do think we all would want the end of self if we knew how it was, but that we can’t know, because it’s not an experience we can objectify. Bottom line I don’t think we’re all seeking truth in this intellectual manner of questioning, we can seek other things and be content without knowing what reality is

Thanks

We all have our issues

Let’s say you overate and feel very full. Except for staying hydrated (but not drinking too much water as that could exacerbate the discomfort) what could help in digestion and easing the uncomfortable fullness? The answers might be helpful for others too, as most of us probably over eat occasionally.

72: Sometimes I feel like I’m the weakest person alive. Like I can’t handle any suffering. Any suffering will be on my mind and I’ll overthink about it and even have suicidal thoughts about it. Meanwhile I see people around me going through all sorts of pain like it’s seemingly nothing. Why am I the only one who can’t suffer

71: Sometimes I feel like I’m internally screaming. Like I’m stuck in this brain and I wanna get out but there’s no way out so I’m just internally screaming. Like I could go insane but still in a calm way that’s not evident from the outside pov.

Good to know I don’t know either I swear!

I don’t know if that is a lot I will update. I’m excited for it yum I bet there is some somewhere They would be cool with that since you’re European hahah

That’s not too bad right? And you only smoke occasionally right

Lmao I’ve been to Croatia 20 times and never experienced earthquake. But I’ve only been to Zagreb twice so maybe he meant that city in particular I don’t know. It’s pretty yea like other countries around that sea. I like those cuisines as well. This Thursday I’ll go to this family gathering and they’ll serve Lebanese cuisine (catering). They chose that. I’m excited for that. And baklava as desssert 😻 It would be fun to have you there for you to try too. Ok maybe I’m derailing the thread, it’s okay becuase it’s my own thread or? 😬

Yea I think so. Alongside the beaches are many restaurants and they have similar menu with a lot of barbecue. I like it.

Yea I relate. I don’t really care about most that I write

Barbecue is very common in Croatian restaurants in tourist areas . But I don’t know if it’s authentic Croatian food, or if it’s just food that’s popular. I like it though, although I’d like to try more authentic dishes too

You feel embarrassed or something? It does no harm to just leave it

He is pretty cool indeed
