Have to agree with @Hojo on this. If you want more it`s not fulfilling, nothing in life seems to be, because the ego is always hungry and greedy. But that doesnt mean that need for sex isnt there, it is there, but dont kid yourself that it will ever fulfill you.

You are too identified with your ego, thats why you judge things(I am too, I am not completely aware of everthing at all times). But I think its really that simple, you are judging things and fighting maya. Maya wont go away, but your whole context and point of view in it might change drastically. Think like being lucid in a dream, the dream continues but everything loses weight because you have seen through it. I am not saying I am lucid yet, but I a working on it and everyday the old teachings of the east seems more and more true. Continue to work on spirituality and eventually drama will lose its weight, seems simple and boring but it is the way, ego is the source of all problems and questions.

@theleelajoker The thing is, I don't think drama really exist. You are a mind interpreting certain phenomena as "drama". But all that is just phenomena in consciousness happening. If you been practicing meditation, you probably have encountered the Ox in some way. You need to watch your self, or your consciouness intepreting stuff and stay more in it purest form. In that form theres no drama, there's just watching. Mind is very subtle to start judging stuff as drama, bs or something like that. You need to catch THAT moment and see that it is you that is doing that. Keep watching youself and abide in awareness only, the drama will go away even with eyes open.

Did Buddha had gaps in his understanding of reality? If so, which ones do you think are the most poignant?

Born in november type shiii A result of lust and human desire

So you think Buddha is bogus on this? Or do you mean the probability of a modern human transcending suffering is basically impossible?

@Cred You should add some eastern souces too, there's no ontological model without the eastern perspective. I myself would even say they are more correct than western sources. You should be practicing some yoga and meditation too to test the ideas/insights.

I see your point.

Drunk women usually is only a kiss and bye . Did you have really negative experience with them?

@CARDOZZO I am going to the carnaval alone for the first time tomorrow. Any tips?

I want to explore this topic in depth. Keep in mind that I wouldn’t say I am awake, that life is a dream(like I am in a lucid dream, I would presume that's what awakening is), so that’s the understanding that I am coming from. What is intelligence? A person can be an intellectual but that doesn't necessarily mean he is automatically intelligent – You definitely wont say every intellectual is actually intelligent I dont think. It seems to me that intellect has intelligence in it, but intelligence doesn’t necessarily have intellect. Intelligence seems to belong to something bigger while intellect belongs to the human mind, this 3d reality and thinking specifically. But then what is actually intelligence?? When you look at nature you definitely can’t deny its intelligence: the order of it, the balance, the self-regulation, it is intelligent, but what is it? What is the substance of that?? One thing that I noticed while reading the forum and contemplating by myself, is that intelligence is never really on the current layer of reality but on the meta-layer. A computer is not really intelligent, the intelligence comes from its inventors. Same thing with you and your body's internal workings, you have no idea how to balance your body or how it really works on the atomic level, you couldn't do it if that job was assigned to you– the intelligence is coming from a meta layer, you could say the universe. And so on and so on,it seems that intelligence goes upwards in an infinite regress, never having a definitive starting point. Intelligence is nowhere to be found, and it seems to be a spontaneous “thing”, like a form of spontaneous knowing or understanding? Could this be what magic is? Intelligence = spontaneous magic? —----------------------------------------------- When you listen to Leo or read some trip reports here or elsewhere, you usually hear something like “I am infinitely conscious” and sometimes they will also say this also “I am infinitely intelligent”. Does this have to be absolutely linked? When you are absolutely conscious you MUST be absolutely intelligent? Can you be infinitely intelligent without being infinitely conscious? Also, when you are infinitely conscious you don't necessarily know how to conjure a planet out of your ass… or do you?? Do you know the deep mechanics of how a planet or something like water is formed? Does being infinitely conscious mean you can do more things and understand how things work on the atomic level? If so I dont think consciousness and intelligence can be separated but they are also not the same thing? In life you meet intelligent people(engineers, doctors, philosophers), but you wouldn't say they are really conscious or have some deep wisdom. How is this possible? How can someone be intelligent but not have that much consciousness? I think an updated video on intelligence would be really nice @Leo Gura

Cool shit. I used to play fighting games competitively too: Tekken, SF, Anime fgs.

Do you still think that beings that accomplished such a feat as interplanetary travel and galaxy travel would still be playing this imperialistic and power hungry games? Wouldn't this self-deception vanish in light of such development? I find it hard to believe that somebody can be that advanced and still be that self-deceived and selfish. But hey, if someone can construct that condition it is God lol. God probably fantasized about that at some point so it might exist

If you are introverted, you need less socialization. If you need less socialization, you need less money and status too. Haven't you noticed that people that enjoy loads of money are usually social and status zombies? Their whole game is: impressing others, chasing titles and going places; and of course this needs loads of money to maintain. If one values wisdom, intelligence, and beauty, you usually wont be socializing much like most of humanity; and I think a lot of people here do value this things. Most learning happens when you are sitting in a room by yourself, while looking at a book or some screen. Want to write a cool story? You will be in a room. Want to learn a new instrument and create music? You will be in a room. Want to create a new game? You will be in a a room. You wont be learning by leaps and bound by being a social zombie or chasing status. The path of wisdom is a interior path, not a exterior one, at least it has been this way since the dawn of civilization. A important question one can ask is: How much socialization do I need? Which in turn will usually tell how much money and status you will need to have a happy life.

If aliens exist could this be the reason why they don`t show up in mass? I think that event too would break the consistency of the dream... too many paradigms shattered and created in an instant lmao

https://www.actualized.org/insights/it-was-all-just-a-dream This is so true. Humans cling to stakes and meaning so fucking much. They want a narrative, legacy, position. They can`t live without it. People want stuff to matter like crazy, cant handle things being a dream.

Because Death exists. All impact is ultimately meaningless. The point of life is to enjoy whatever you enjoy doing, wheter you enjoy having an impact on humanity or not is irrelevant. Do whatever you enjoy doing is what matters. Some people want a lot of money and status and thats okay, but others do not. No one option is superior than the other because Death exist. Whatever your impact is it wont persist because everything changes, so dont kid yourself thinking youre too important or more important than others because you choose to be a CEO or something. Do whatever you enjoy. Life is a play, nothing is really important as people tell you.

I guess the final answer is that our ego is absolutely inevitable. God didn't choose this in a particular sense, it just need to happen no matter what. Every finitude must exist exactly as it is. Another way of saying is that God cant prevent itself from being limited.

You play figthing games competitively?

Yes, I can see that. But you said being finite is more valuable than being infinite --- I don't think this is necessarily true. If reality is infinite, as far as I can tell right now, it is a mystery on why it drops out of infinite state to the finite. You can say to know, but if it were infinite in the first place it already knew, why did it forget??? To know again??

This makes no sense. The whole Buddhism idea is to stop hoping from body to body and be in bliss forever. I am not saying necessarily that Buddhism is true, but it does make more sense than what you said(no offense).

But why, why would GOD trade infinite orgasm for a human life?
