What else is there to do? To gain direct consciousness of that. It is possible.

There are so many perspectives to take on this, that I will get tired of listing them all. Where ISn't mind? Is there even a "mind"? Mind is god, god is mind, it's nowhere, and everywhere, and neither of those, at the same time, nothing is not mind, so there's no way of talking about it without creating an illusory duality. @fridjonk Who escapes and why?

Some cutting edge thinking in regards to Conscious Politics. It seems he's found a way to take Orange principles of free market and entrepreneurial thinking to help advance our society in healthier ways.

Cool new genre, called High Tech.

Animals are much less harmful to mama earth than we are, so in that sense we are thousands of years behind.

Because the majority of men lost touch with Positive Masculinity. In one word: Neediness. Sounds simple? But really difficult to change.

Sorry I was wrong for making that joke. I've been and still am being marginalized for my nationality, and have faced abuse and racism. I respectfully leave this discussion, and remove my views. I respect your views, and empathize as much as I can with your cause. I guess we're just people who were hurt and are trying to heal. I wish you well.

Could you please list them? To avoid in the future.

Ta-Da!

You shouldn't take things as literally. It's a thought experiment that's meant to show you the true implications of open mindedness, that doesn't mean to go at it blindly. Use some intuition, some common sense, some belief.

@dyslexicFcuk What a pleasant read! Thank you for sharing. I totally respect that endeavor and I find it much needed to bring these ideas forward, and taken seriously. Here's my attempt from a slightly different angle: https://antonsjournal.home.blog/2019/01/01/the-mysterious-nature-of-awareness/ Cheers.

Doesn't that imply both duality, and time?

If there are in fact no brains, how can different people have minds?

How can you not see the that you are connecting dots that aren't there. The fact that your dear grandmother did that, and the fact that she also happened to have some twisted ideas about religion are two separate matters. The ideas aren't the problem, it's the way that they are taken by and twisted by the ego mind. The damage of you perusing that logic is an eventual tying of spirituality to mental illness, which would cause people to avoid it in fear of becoming a lunatic. Why would you do that?

@Ingit By what you write it seems like you have a great progress, but you just haven't researched or understood meditation deep enough to see it. Go deeper, and keep at it. Try different techniques until one clicks with you. Keep reading spiritual texts and contemplate them, you need a conceptual framework before you can get into the deeper stages.

Go for it, but be sure it's gonna take a while. My previous teacher said it took him about 10 years, but he did it. (Hard-core yogi master like you can only dream of)

No answer ever is going to satisfy you, when you get it you get it. (Through deep contemplation, and spiritual practice.)

@jimwell Paranoid schizophrenia, with bi-polar episodes, messiah complex. The man is ill, it would be silly to connect spiritual practice as a cause to this, as this is only one case. What if he liked vanilla ice cream, would that make vanilla ice cream dangerous? He clearly didn't understand spirituality conceptually, but only filled his head with a bunch of ideas, which is a sure way to get confused. I guess it takes some sort of spiritual intelligence, and proper mindfulness and contemplation to be able to do it right, which he clearly lacks. Awakening is not psychosis, but the opposite. Psychosis is a result of low-consciousness and compulsive thinking. It is however not far from going crazy, if you looked at it from a psychiatric, mental health close minded and biased paradigm. Just look at the definition of "going crazy". It's losing ones grip on reality, but what if there was no such thing in the first place. The fear of going crazy is close to the fear of death, which is a loss of oneself and ones' existence. As a matter of fact, there's not any other way to be sane, but through deep spiritual practice.

@Andrewww If you become conscious of the fact that all the kids and people are already you, what use is there to make more? There's quite enough as it is if you'd asked the planet. Besides if you dedicate your life to a goal you are passionate about and could contribute to society, it's better not to waste that talent on raising children. Although it's my current, view, I'm open to the fact that I might be wrong, and there's something I'm missing. For example if you raised a kid in a high conscious manner you might create a new and powerful leader that would transform man kind.

@ElvisN That's about as far as you can get using thought. He pretty much didn't say anything at all, which comes pretty close.

@Septicaema Thank you dearly for your incredible reply, and for sharing. It seems your journey took you very deep, and it's beautiful. Cheers.

Hello dear Actualizers, I have yet more intriguing questions for you, Contemplating the role of Self-Destructive behavior, it really doesn't make sense for such a phenomenon to exist, given that evolution is plucking behaviors which aren't favorable to the survival of a certain species. 1. Does self-destruction appear anywhere else in nature? 2. What's its role in the great scheme of things? There is of course the chance that evolution hasn't yet completed it's work in eliminating it. My guess is that it's thus saying: "You're no longer needed, destroy thyself." It's also apparent that when there's toxic matter in a body it's limited in its ability to awaken, so another possibility is that it's the devil's work in trying to prevent us from awakening. (Which is pretty fucking clever.) Please let us hear your insights : )

How to destroy that which doesn't exist?
