Sincerity

Bread was just an example. 192 euro should last you much longer than 2-3 days.

That is true. However, it’s not so simple as to say that everything revolves around you. That others serve a purpose for you, personally. They can assist you and often do, but that’s not their sole reason for existence. Reality simply is. It’s all about God. Of course. But assigning limited reasons to why particular things or people exist is faulty.

A view of "personal dissociative complexes", as you call them, is only valid if consciousness (All That Is) is in a "selfhood state". If it isn't, there are no "minds".

No, that isn't solipsism. That is your personal definition of it, which has a lot of fluff added to it. The universe doesn't revolve around you. You're adding a lot of selfhood to the definition. To me, what you're describing is a naive, self-serving interpretation of solipsism.

If they're in your field of consciousness, they are "real". But fields of consciousness outside of "yours" is an idea in your mind. THIS is all that is. I don't know how I can say it clearer. I sense that you're purposefully trying to misunderstand this - if so, I won't stop you.

There is content to your consciousness that you're unaware of. But it's all still consciousness, and one "thing" in the end.

There's an infinity of you that you're unaware of. But awareness of it doesn't change a thing. It's always the case. No matter what.

I found a clip from Bashar. "You are physical reality itself. There is no physical reality except for your experience of it, and THAT is what reality is."

My point is that while solipsism/oneness is absolutely true, there is also an insight/awakening that more or less contradicts solipsism, and it's absolutely true as well. Both are true. It's a cosmic joke that you either get or not. It's a mindfuck, but Reality is Mysterious and Paradoxical, so it's actually nothing new under the sun. At least that's my experience.

I've heard Bashar teach solipsism on occasion. He doesn't use the word per se, but he says it in between the lines. The insight referred to as solipsism is true. The One Experience, is all there is. But also, it's not the end of the "story". There's more.

@SQAAD If I were you, I'd take on any sensible job I could get, just to be able to rent a room and afford food. I mean, you have to start somewhere. Also, you seem to complain about Greece and Athens. Why don't you move then? You are an EU citizen, so you can move to any EU country you want. You don't have family ties, career ties, or even apartment ties - so what's stopping you? Maybe the prospects of finding a good job would be higher elsewhere. Apply everywhere, and then move to wherever you get the job. I just did a google search and a 500g loaf of bread costs around €1.10 to €1.25 in Athens. How the hell does 192 euro last you 2-3 days?!

Do you live in a car, or on the street, or where? Do you have (or plan to have) some very basic job? What are you doing to get out of this situation, materially?

If you said that, the outcome would be different for sure.

Please don’t spread rumors. We reached out to him. He’s taking a break, apparently.

I love Ramin Nazer's creative work. I've been following his activity for a long time now. His pieces are powerful and pretty, and I often remember the quotes from them. Here's a link to his site: https://raminnazer.com/

We're trying to do conscious politics here. It's a self-improvement forum - as the name says, we're trying to become something better. Let's not mindlessly spread nationalist and right-wing propaganda. Any propaganda, for that matter. Please report posts that are egregious in this.

Have some self-awareness, dude.

A friendly reminder of the Forum Guidelines: Stop spreading these dogmatic right-wing talking points. Trumpism is not allowed on the forum.

Damn. It's a shame. I'll check it out eventually and see for myself. Never heard of these - thanks for the recommendation! I'll check them out.

Oh, I loved this book! It had an impact on me. Planning to read The Tenth Insight sometime.

What a disgrace. Imagine if China did such a thing against another country. The western posturing would be enormous.

@UnbornTao I have an iPhone. Not sure whether it’s on Android. I usually have the purple tune icon whenever I’m playing a video. This lets me quickly add something to Brave Playlist. If there’s no icon, I can go to settings (three dots in the lower right) and add it from there. Here’s how Brave Playlist looks:

I use Brave on my phone and Firefox on my laptop. I can watch YT on my phone through the browser to not get ads. Also, I can save and download videos to Brave Playlist. Brave is literally a godsend.

Winter wonderland ❄️ My little wood is a winter wonderland now. I was absolutely in awe! I finally saw a woodpecker today! I can hear the pecking quite often, but I usually can't spot the bird even if I try. Today I did though. Such adorable birds. I love them.

That’s awesome man! 😃 Congrats! Now the work begins.
