This limitation is what I am referring to as self-deception. The whole God got bored thing is a simplification for newbies to make sense of it. self-deception is a genius and divine mechanism through which “concrete” reality is created. If we didn’t have these limitations then there would be no “reality”.

Anything outside infinite mind/reality/God is actually part of reality. There can’t be anything outside reality. And of course, there are infinite states of consciousness, so you have to be infinitely conscious to experience the infinite consciousness. Infact, infinite consciousness and infinitely conscious are the same. There is no limit to how conscious you can become. Psychedelics can do wonders. -
@Someone here One of the reasons is the way in which his brain is wired. He was questioning reality from the get-go. At 14 years of age, he got into philosophy. Another reason is his introversion. Which he used nicely to his advantage. Curiosity and passion are also central to this.

@trenton How about your daily routine? Like, how does your normal day goes? Do you have any practices incorporated into a routine? Also, do you exercise and take care of your diet?
-
What do you think about self-deception then? What about radical changes in state? You can change your state so much that you can’t go back to your previous state. Like, it would be so radical that we can not call it deepening or expanding. And you can still serve other purposes from this new state that the other state served. But yeah, you can’t serve the purpose of survival from high deep states of consciousness. Because the cost of ascending to that state is letting go of the current self state.

Reality is understanding itself, perhaps. The subject and object are seprated by deception. Understanding is a manifestation of love. The ability of infinite consciousness (as a limited form) to grasp itself.

Consider this: It (the infinite consiousness) is creating it and then also creating self-deception mechanisms so that the creation can forget it's origin and start acting as a distinct being. A human being. And by overcoming these self-deceptions it can realize its true nature. To what extent can this be done? I think it's do able. The merging of self with infinity. The surrender. But it's an infinite game as there is no end to how conscious you can become. That's what infinite consciousness suggests. Infinity. Now if it's sustainable as the base level of functioning? I do not know. And don't you think that all three layers you described are just one? Infinite consciousness? But separation arises because of the self-deception mechanisms?

Have you thought about therapy or psychedelics?

Israel instituted the blockade against the Gaza Strip not in response to a violent attack, but rather in response to Hamas's ascension to exclusive authority in the Gaza Strip, and earlier in response to the Hamas victory in the 2006 Palestinian elections. Israel, in short, engaged in an act of war against an occupied people, and violated its legal obligations to them long before Operation Cast Lead had commenced.

The reasons cited for Israel's refusal to allow passage of basic necessities are untenable. Israel claimed that its restrictions were necessary to put pressure on Hamas officials to halt or substantially hinder the firing of rockets into Southern Israel. However, there is no reasonable relationship between depriving Gazan civilians of subsistence items and the suppression of Hamas' rocket launchings against Israeli towns. Israel's duties to "protected persons" as an occupier of the Gaza Strip under Article 55 of the Fourth Geneva Convention require that it allow the passage of all aid, foodstuffs, and water given the severity of the humanitarian crisis. The blockade appears to have clearly violated this provision of the law of occupation.
-
@Nivsch Israel has been accused of violating or failing to fulfill specific obligations it had committed to under various ceasefire agreements on different occasions to alleviate or lift the blockade. “Crossings were repeatedly shut and buffer zones were reinstated. Imports declined, exports were blocked, and fewer Gazans were given exit permits to Israel and the West Bank. The blockade has been decried by human rights groups, international community representatives and legal professionals as a form of collective punishment in contravention of international law, specifically the Fourth Geneva Convention. Rights groups have held Israel mainly responsible as the occupying power.
-
@Nivsch “Following the withdrawal, Israel continues to maintain direct control over Gaza's air and maritime space, six of Gaza's seven land crossings, maintains a no-go buffer zone within the territory, controls the Palestinian population registry, and Gaza remains dependent on Israel for its water, electricity, telecommunications, and other utilities“ that’s from 2005. Also, the terrorism was caused by Hamas. Hamas, an organization that Israel created.
-
To infinity? I mean, reality is infinite so it can create infinite patterns. And theoretically we can precieve these patterns with ever increasing levels of consciousness.
-
@Breakingthewall okay so they became hostile due to a reason right? If you want to make things better then one would start by undoing whatever caused that hostility. But Israelis have refused to do this. They have failed plenty of times to let go of Gaza.
-
@BreakingthewallCan you give me any examples of this or proof to back this statement?
-
If you go and settle in another country and take over, isn’t it obvious that they’d become hostile? I mean, the jews were warned “The bride is beautiful, but she is married to another man”
-
@Mesopotamian A very bad assumption that nobody gives a shit about them. Baseless assumption. People attach a lot of meaning to these sites. From your perspective, you see it as a delusion. Most people don’t.
-
@PurpleTree Add to that everyone with a perfectly shaved head and voila!
-
But Israel as a collective will have resentment towards Hamas. They are in fear and want their leader to act and defend their sense of self by going on the offensive. Taking revenge on their behalf. If he doesn’t act then he runs the risk of becoming unpopular with Israelies. This reminds me of Percles, how he detached himself from the public emotion and acted in a rational way with the bigger picture in mind.
-
@Breakingthewall Yeah that makes sense. Because once you dissolve all the structures, what you are left is the void that you speak of and at that point, there is no sense of self to experience Truth. The Truth just is. That's kind of what I was trying to say. There is the infinite chaos and then there is structured reality. But the order is also part of the chaos. We just have to recontextualize it as such. Like relative truth is still part of the absolute. But Leo suggests a good way to view this. As infinite mind. God mind. Everything is part of it. So yes, you need order/structure to live. To have a bias against it is a repression of Love and Truth. But if you recontextualize the order as part of the chaos then life goes better.

You can start small and actually turn the whole situation around. Pick up one tiny thinh that you can work on daily, like drinking 8 glasses of water. Start from there and do only that. Then, after a while build on it. You will be shocked at the results in a few months.

@Leo Gura Can weed alone really take you there? To experience alien consciousness? Because on weed, I have had identical experiences to what the gentleman in the post described so eloquently. I wonder if it’s possible to go higher on weed alone.
-
@vibv that’s an assumption. It is difficult to be aware of the full Truth. Difficult, but possible. And once you have that, you can keep honing it. And get a clear senese of what isn’t true.
-
@Lila9 I can empathize with you on that. And btw, according to mainstream Orthodox Judaism, the rebuilding of the Temple is generally left to the coming of the Jewish Messiah. Moreover, the Romans were the ones who demolished the Temples. I say leave the Muslims up to it and wait for the Messiah instead of fighting and killing children.
-
@Mesopotamian Certainly, there are Muslims who are motivated to make Islam the superior power again. That’s because of a variety of reasons, including the fact that Jews minority in Israel is not a minority anymore. But that's a minor, a minuscule motivator in my estimate. The major motivation behind the anti-Israeli movement is Israel overstepping its bounds. Because Muslims all across the world were heartbroken and in shock when Masjid Al Aqsa was attacked. It was like 9/11, believe me, or not. And anti-Israel means leave the holy site the fuck alone.
