  1. I was rewatching the episode about why God cant be proven. Is crazy that one cant watch the same many times and every time a new nuance from the whole episode pops up. Like this: There is an assumption within science, for example, that reality is contingent and not necessary or absolute, that, for example, existence cannot be a tautology. Tautology is assumed to be a mistake, but it's not. God is absolute tautology. God has to exist. God cannot not exist. That's the most important aspect of God. Its existence is absolutely necessary. But this presents a problem to materialists, scientists, and atheists because they are only used to dealing with relative stuff, contingent stuff that cannot exist or exist depending on various circumstances and factors. They've never dealt with it with an absolute before, and so they instinctively react negatively towards this idea of anything being tautological. Right? Like absolute truth cannot be tautological. Or can it? It must be, because it's absolutely true. It's true under all circumstances. And all of logic actually hinges upon consciousness and absolute truth, just in ways that are not very obvious. You have to go very deep in your consciousness and in your development to understand how logic arises out of the existence of absolute truth. That's not a simple thing to understand or to explain here, so I won't even try. But if absolute truth didn't exist and logic couldn't work, that's something I'll explain in the future. This leads us to the problem of self-evidence. The Problem of Self-Evidence In the end, there's absolutely no way around at least one self-evident thing. You cannot have any working epistemology or metaphysics or sense making or knowledge without something being self-evident. Whether you're doing science, religion, anything, you need something that's self-evident because without that you couldn't know anything. So for example, self-evident things that are common within human knowledge are things like reason. Logic is taken as self-evident. The law of non-contradiction is taken as self-evident. The law of identity is taken as self-evident. Analytic statements like "bachelor's are unmarried men" is taken as self-evident. Various primitive mathematics like 1 + 1 = 2 is taken as self-evidence. Intuition can be taken as self-evident. The existence of other people is often taken as self-evident. Scientific method is often taken as self-evident. Direct experience can be taken as self-evidence. Induction. These are just some examples. You need something like that to have any kind of epistemology. But what is the most self-evident of all things? It's that you exist and that you're conscious. There can be nothing more fundamental than that. Everything else depends upon that. Because if you don't exist and you're not conscious, there can't be logic, there can't be science, there can't be a universe, there can't be other people, there can't be an external world. There can't be objectivity, there can't be history, there can't be time, there can't be space, and there can't be atoms. There can't be anything. All of that assumes that you exist. So very paradoxically, the reason God cannot be proven is precisely because it exists. Existence cannot be proven because it's the only self-evident thing. It's the self-evident thing. Existence is absolute self-evidence. Existence exists to itself for itself. Not to a human, not to a subject, not to a brain, not to a biological living being. There's just existence. Existence exists as an absolute. That's what this is. This has been mistaken for something else, which is the illusion that God spins to construct a human life. God is existence. It is not even proper to say that God exists because God is existence. Anything that exists is God.
  2. Sitting with the ideia that God Realization cant be peer reviewed.
  3. And even if all this is true, I am being reminded about what Leo Gura say in the video The Value of Truth. That if you dont be carefull you can end up in a position that your Truth Seeking get compromised. Status for me is less about how people see me and more the freedom to pursuit of Truth unapologetic from anyone
  4. Thats why in Old Tribes they had The Tricksters or the Sacred Clows. Was a ancestral technology to break patterns. There is a Podcast Called " The Emerald" on Spotify that deals with this theme. And goes deep into this even in the Politics of America and Trump and that Shaman guy from the Whitehouse. I will find and add here https://open.spotify.com/episode/23wxZblaSN2AGiySe94wJl?si=hLvNtihkSQeoNIFl-tAndQ&utm_source=copy-link The Trickster Jump Sides
  5. U@Natasha Tori Maru Drop this here, only because I like to make connections Fear of abandonment. Doesn't just show up in our relationships. It shows up in our bodies and it can become dis-ease. this is how I see fear of abandonment quietly shaping our health. In early life, being abandoned by our caregivers actually threatens our survival. Therefore, love equates to safety. So we do what we need to, to preserve love. We repress the parts of ourselves we perceive as unlovable. However, this is often a misunderstanding. Sometimes a caregiver withdraws for reasons that have nothing to do with us — but a child's experience is not rational. It's direct. We sacrifice authenticity to preserve love. The nervous system never forgets this. We become adults that are terrified to be authentic because deep in the roots of our experience is the misunderstanding that authenticity may lead to abandonment. And while the mind knows that abandonment does not threaten our survival, the inner child does not. The inner child lives on in the spiritual quadrant of health — where past, present and future are all happening now. And when we feel as if love may be taken away, the nervous system sounds the alarm. The endocrine system translates that inner child's memory into chemistry — and our fear of abandonment enters the physical quadrant of our health. Unlike the spiritual quadrant, which is timeless, the physical quadrant is present. So that inner child's confusion about what she needs to do to stay safe shows up in the body. The body responds to the wound years — sometimes decades — after the original injury. The immune system, the adrenals, the gut and the skin do what they need to do to protect that inner child. And this is why fear of abandonment often presents as autoimmunity, allergies, adrenal fatigue, food sensitivities, weight retention, disordered eating, and skin issues. This is how the wounds of the past shape the present. This is how the wound of the root chakra quietly shapes your health.
  6. A shoulder is a person who should themselves in their foot and watch out cause they can should you too
  7. There is always the possibility to go to Tandava Retreat. The guys are topnotch
  8. Truly would like to know what @Leo Gura had in mind sharing this one Profound Quotes #141 https://www.actualized.org/insights/profound-quotes-141 We can basically apply this to everything?
  9. @Natasha Tori Maru This make sense for me these days. 7 months ago I arrived in a new place. I felt connected with the place and acting from full "Authenticity " by that time. But all my experiences here change me and change some things I valued about the place and people here. And now I cant avoid to see the swallowness in the talks and the place itself became not a place where Ia can be authentic. Is similar to the Hedoistic Pattern where something lose the pleasure with time but in this case is with Authenticity. I dont long for the older version of me, is just that the new version dont fit these plade and the social circle anymore. Is when we say that we outgrown the place. But the new place and circle of people are still not coming. I will need to find.
  10. Here for all relfect. What about being a self-shifter? We are it anyway. This woman at least admit I cant be the same self with my mother that I am with my friends or girlfriend.
  11. @Natasha Tori Maru Finding a lot of wisdom listening this. sometimes I like story telling as a way to understand stuff, instead of just raw analysis. She would call it Moon Consciousness in the video.
  12. Thanks, I follow his lectures too.
  13. Bro, if even Space and Time is being Hallucinated what to say about cells. Remembering is not the ego that is hallucinating since ego is also hallucination.
  14. Whatever, the state of pleasure can be felt with no need to sex with a woman or even with masturbation. But that dont make the experience of sex less or more than something.
