You don't control your breath when you go to sleep and when you stop thinking about your breath it continues which means you never had control. What you experience is indirect control, what we call influence. That is no different than working out can influence how strong you are. Or how encouraging someone can influence how happy they are. But you do not have DIRECT CONTROL over anything, which means your control is limited so if it is limited then how can it even be control? You cannot even stop yourself from being tired, and you cannot stop yourself from dying from hunger. I mean if I dropped you off in Mexico and gave you to the Cartels, they could do what they want with you. The point is, life is like a deck of cards and you play your hand the best you can but if that hand comes up weak, then that is your lot. https://www.actualized.org/insights/ego-collapse-awakening All this is said with love by the way because I have become aware of how the ego really is limitation, the ego is what stops a guy from walking up to the woman he wants to talk to or stops a guy from starting his own business. It's kind of funny if you think about it, you were born limited, and then your ego creates more limitations ONTOP of those limitations. And the only way to reach your full potential is to stop thinking the ego is you. So funny!!!

Why do I even try....you egos want to exist so bad. My gosh. The ego's catchphrase I do exist....I do!!!! I get it, my ego does that nonsense too...and then I go to sleep at night...and it disappears. Because it is an INCONSISTENT APPEARANCE!!!! Which means=It is a lie. So sure if you love lies, you will love telling yourself the lie that your ego exists....it doesn't. It is a lie...that is being ALLOWED to appear by ABSOLUTE TRUTH. Here is something for you....tell me when your human self's life will end? You don't know. So you don't know how many hairs on your head, you didn't know how tall you would be, you don't know how many times your heart beats at rest, you don't know what your max heart rate is, you don't know if right now you have cancer in your body, you have so little knowledge about this human....but you think it controls anything? LOL. Keep doing the work and you will realize that no human has accomplished anything. Our egos love to brag because it makes them appear more real, but they are just appearances being controlled by God. Nothing more nothing less.

Exactly. You got it. When he takes the plunge he will come up laughing. The Cosmic Joke.

The Spiritual Path is about intention and allowance. Your ego doesn't do anything. It just surrenders and allows. You've been trained to be a doer, your human self does nothing. No human has ever accomplished anything ever, because humans have never existed. There is only God, and only God has absolute power to do anything. Go back and study the absolute and the relative until you REALLY GET IT. Your question is a question that assumes a doer and expresses a lack of understanding of the Absolute and the relative.

Crazy story, some people walking the streets are former assassins in plain site. Not everybody that kills a ton of people is behind bars. I'm glad he is trying to move forward in a positive manner. Also I don't believe that shit he says about being okay with what he did, he wouldn't suffer from insomnia and PTSD if that was the case. Anyway enjoy!!

^^^^^ You are assessing them....while asking who would you be assessing? Anyway I don't know if Terrence knew Reality in a similar way to Watts....but I think anybody that trips as long as he does gets or arrives at something at least. ^^^^This but that is a result of him not really having an interest in metaphysics or epistemology. But yeah shrooms would definitely wake you up to any subtlety in any of his talks. ^^^ I'd say Watts realized something.

This is what happens when you allow fear to take over your pursuit of truth. He doesn't realize I was exactly where he was at one time in my journey. It's why I know how he is feeling. Here is when I eventually decided to take the plunge. But he isn't going to understand until he does it and I completely understand. Funny thing is...he doesn't even know that after the plunge...there is even more to discover.

I hope his trip goes well and he visits the https://isha.sadhguru.org/us/en/sadhguru/mystic/what-is-dhyanalinga I wanna know if it is equal to the hype. But yeah safe travels for him.

^^^^I never said you were getting mad at me. You assumed that. What I said is you are speaking from a place of uncomfortability which is pointing to this statement that you said this: "And, yeah, when you are in a higher state of consciousness, you can "logically" show to yourself that everything actually is good, etc, but if you are in a lower state of consciousness, then your "logic" will show you that it actually may not be the case, for your perception changes. You see, i think logic and rationality, and that sort of a thing, actually is much much more about your state of consciousness. What sounds logical to you differs when you are in different states of consciousness, and that's why i kinda lost hope with all philosophies, all socalled logical and rational models of reality. " Your logic is saying that you can only see the good in pain at higher states of consciousness and I am saying NO!!!! This is why I have said you guys need to do sports, you need to do INTENSE PHYSICAL EXERCISE AND PUSH YOURSELF TO YOUR GOT DAMN LIMIT!!! When you do this enough times THEN you will see how PAIN is GOOD!!!! THIS is why I said you are speaking from a state of u comfortability. You are not aware of how your bias against pain creates limiting beliefs. You just spoke a limitation, which is not your fault it is a clear communication of where you are and the truth of your lived experience. This is why I said...you can learn a lot about a person when they speak. A person both tells you and shows you who they are. In highly Masculine Environments the brutality of language and physical activity is there. The communication is direct, the physical activity is direct. But the feminine has an issue with this. This all coincides with the political correctness movement, and the issues with free speech. ^^^^Really think deeply how all the world's fights and arguments are just reflections of us on an individual level.

Your speaking from a state of uncomfortability. What I am saying is you have to admit that logic can be corrupted with comfort. For example you walk in a room and say its hot, and to me its just right. So notice there can be two people in the SAME situation and one hates it and loves it!!! You see? What life continually teaches is that YOU are the problem. Not what is. If you fight this message your life is going to be very confusing and will be hell. The counter-intuitive approach is to make a positive relationship with pain. That is the whole point of Masculine Love. Masculine Love is the embrace of PAIN. Its why in the Marines they say "Embrace the Suck." Marines are TRAINED to go TOWARDS GUNFIRE!!! This is why the burden of being a man is you are always looked upon to be a leader, to take on the burden. No women wants to be with a man who is afraid of pain and adversity. This is just all a part of growing up. So once I realized early on in my life that the obstacle to maturity was pain and that TRUE MATURITY, TRUE HONESTY, TRUE AUTHENTICITY, TRUE LOVE, TRUE CARE, is the LOVE of pain then I discovered the secret to life. And...EVERYBODY knows this truth, we all know it, we've always known it. It's just we run from it because it is the BITTER TRUTH. If you notice I have no problems with being criticized, its just you better be able to logically explain it. And...don't get mad at me if I deconstruct your argument. The truth is the truth. If I can deconstruct your argument....then you never had one to begin with.

If you notice, I literally made a post that explained logically how everything is actually GOOD. The point of logic is to use it responsibly. I'm not talking bullshit positivity, but TRUE positivity. An adult can see the positivity in a child learning to ride a bike falling off and cutting themself. The child cannot. The only difference is experience. Which is why again I have said. Be honest about what you know, what you don't know, and what you want. That's it!! It's so simple!!! But if you have lived a life of scheming, manipulating, it is going to be very hard to do. Because even thoughts are HABITS!!!!! So if you have a habit of dishonesty....you will be trapped and it will be hard to get out!!! I'll give a profound realization here. Good is so subjective, because GOOD is what feels Good right? Well to a liar, a lie feel GOOD, which means it feels MORE AUTHENTIC than the TRUTH!!! If your mind is corrupted by lies it is VERY HARD to tell the difference between a truth and a lie, because you corrupted your emotional system with feeling COMFORTABLE with lies. Really understand what it means when it is said that God is a SELF-CREATOR. Understand that every action you take is MEANINGFUL into HOW you will experience reality.

Oh and one other thing. The OP's issue is they don't like like criticism. This was revealed when I made a thread where people were allowed to come at me whole-heartedly. Notice how it made them uncomfortable and they felt the need to defend me. Even though I had stated what the purpose of the thread was they still felt the need to force their way of seeing things, their belief that criticism is bad onto my thread. ^^^^^This is the type of awareness I push. Observe your actions and WHY YOU DO THEM. Notice you defended me because you are a good person who thinks criticism is bad, as such you wanted to stand up for me and protect me from the criticism. So yeah you aren't a bad dude, but what you don't realize is whatever identities you construct, its opposite is going to bother you. Notice I was able to take the criticism in stride. Because I don't hide from criticism, the only issue I have is what I call dishonest criticism. Which is criticism you give without understanding. If you lack understanding then that is equivalent to =ignorance= you don't know what you are talking about= untrue=inauthentic. Observe yourself, observe your triggers, REALLY get to know who this human character you are operating IS. What is their story? Become a FAN of yourself.

Exploding isn't necessary but it happens when we have stuff repressed. Majority of humanity has no clue how much trauma they have repressed. It's a defense mechanism of the human mind but what is resisted persists. It needs to come up eventually. The healthiest and most accurate mindset to have at all times (even though it is tough) is that everything that happens is good. Maturity= Suffering. When you physically train you suffer. The more pain you can put up with the more your body can mature in strength. The same is true of intellectual study, and the same is true of emotional growth. If you live a life of comfort you will be the weakest version of yourself. It's why people are good at everything their whole life, or rich, the first time they face failure of any kind it shocks the hell out of them. ^^^^^This is necessary and an unavoidable part of life. I say this with full knowledge of the SUCKAGE you feel when you are experiencing it. But I've come to realize....it is what it is.

Solutions are easy ^^^^ Point out the issue you have with someone and address it honestly and rationally. If they continue ignore them. If you believe they have broken one of the rules of the forums report it to a mod. The following is a list of the guidelines. If you think I have violated them in anyway I suggest you report me, if you think you another user has violated them report them if you so please. https://www.actualized.org/forum/forum/14-guidelines/ Anything outside of this.....is just emotional temper tantrums. You can do that....but it is what it is.

That message is for you and those who need it. I don't need it, I'm perfectly fine as I am. But if you think differently you do. You have that prerogative. But again that's just your bias and fear of conflict. Fear of conflict is the number one cause of dishonesty. It is the number one reason why majority of people are lost and confused because all they want is for people to feed them compliments and hide the truth of how they feel. I don't want that, repression of honesty always comes back to bite you. Best to get it out no matter how nasty it is. Spirituality is therapy or have yall still not understood this? Better you rage at computer screen so it reveals that you are still holding in some deep emotional scars, versus exploding on other people in your life.

^^^^What about what I have said is negative? Explain. Point to the negativity? If you play this game with me I'll just show you as I have in the past that the problem isn't with me its just with your lack of honesty. 1. If you have a problem with me you could just ignore me. Notice how I showed you that you won't and if you do you will still continue to respond. 2. Notice how I repeat the same thing to you over and over and certain times you thank me, and certain times you rage at me. I have never changed the theme of my responses to you. I always tell you, first figure out what you actually know, then figure out what you don't know, then figure out what you actually desire. That's it. I only push for you to be honest so you can have self-clarity. Self-Clarity is an honest observation of where you are in your thoughts, where you are emotionally, and an understanding of either you know what you want or don't want. Now you might respond...well how do you know that's what I want? Easy because you are asking questions. When a person asks questions they are searching for clarity =clear understanding. This is simple. You are very intelligent, you are just not very honest. That's literally the only barrier between you understanding yourself and not understanding yourself. That's all. Anything else is just emotional tantrums.

^^^^You could just follow your own advice. Drama is part of human interaction. Drama on the news, drama in family, it is what it is. It's just one of the brutal truths of this game called life. When it gets to annoying just unplug. Only you know how much of it you can handle.

You know what he means....because you are him. Our understanding of each other is only possible because we are one. Since you are in a higher state of consciousness you are able to both know his perspective and what he doesn't know. Whereas he is only trapped in his perspective. Our limitation between each other is just our perspectives. This is why the more you understand where someone is coming from the more predictable they become for you...because there is a recognition of sameness/oneness. It's so funny to me.

He's gonna do it eventually. He'll get so tired of not answering this curiosity he's going to take the plunge. Then when it happens he will bust out laughing at why he was ever so scared. Then he will come to us and brag in a cool trip report about how he can't believe he ever fooled himself that he was just some human. He will eventually trip again...and eventually have a Bad Trip. Then we will console him. Yada Yada Yada. He is just going to go through the same things we all went through. Just in his own unique way. So I'm not worried if anything I'm excited for when he finally does it. It will be beautiful.

Even if you block me you will still read my posts and will respond to what I post from time to time. Can't run from what you desire which is self-understanding. You still haven't figured this out yet huh? It's why you are so predictable you basically tell me what you are going to do. I told you, your like a tsundere anime character.

Lol....he is just words on a screen. So in truth he isn't eating anything. The same way you can predict a character in a movie, is the same way I can predict him. He always says the opposite of what he is going to do. He just refuses to admit it. You ever see does Tsundere in Anime? That's him. You know how many times you have said that? Hell you posted a thread about how you were tired of me, then took it down. Dude you love me, its just I grate on your nerves. Which I do purposefully to get you to own up to what you know is true. The only reason I am so aggressive is because giving you softness isn't going to do the trick. You are tough enough to take it, it just stings is all. Your a smart guy, but you are not honest about what you know, what you don't know, and what you want. So you run around in circles.....I pointed this to you last time....and you know....but you are falling back into bad habits.

He can't help it anymore than a racist can't stop being a racist, until they do. It's not his fault. And I believe honestly he will do it because he will get sick and tired of wondering. Notice he can't stop thinking about it? It means he will eventually do it and then he will understand that I am just HIM telling to the stop the bullshit. I am no different than the voice inside his head that he thinks is him. No YOU do that because I AM YOU. And ask yourself why I have properly predicted you so well? When you claimed you awakened conceptually to Absolute Solipsism I told you that you couldn't and you argued with me. I was right. When I said you weren't really hear for awakening but something else you argued with me and then you finally admitted you just wanted to go get laid. Again I was right. When you said you would leave Actualized.Org I said you wouldn't. Again I was right. Have you not figured out that I got you figured out? Why? I wonder why I can predict your every move? Maybe just maybe I am YOU!!!! Just like I KNOW you will eventually take the plunge...because you are tired of wondering....you just use all of us here to give you the confidence and talk you out of your shit.

I'm glad, and I will continue to call out the bullshit you post on here until you take the plunge. LOL.
