I too had my weeb phase haha, even went as far as to learn Japanese. Cool language btw, way simpler than people make out to be. And pretty. Yes I see your point. We do have uncouncious emotions stored in us. Part of spirituality is to bring that to the surface to integrate and transcend it. To go beyond psychology so to speak. But I really didnt like the emphasis of that in the story, in my view its too much. The director even said that it was his objective to make Shinji as insufferable as possible. He also went to some depression and thats why the show lean on that. Different strokes to different folks I guess

Do you like animes? Never watched Eva but If you consume anime eventually you will know about Eva without even watching it. It is good work, but I will never put the time to watch it because of the things I learned about the main character, cant really relate to him. Theres such a thing as a too flawed character.

Investment, build yourself so much that you don't need to work anymore. Or work very little. Or become a full-time monk for sometime The reason Buddha was able to "do it" was not because he was wealthy, it was because he said screw the world and pursued loneliness by himself. It was his will and ambition. If anything one of the reason Buddha is revered is because he threw away all his wealth like it was nothing.

I get it, everyone has a standard. I think yours will only be cleared if you personally have a sighting, but maybe not even that, maybe an onboarding experience with the ETs will be needed. But then again, you can even doubt that and discard it as a hallucination. But what is a hallucination and what isnt? hehe tricky stuff

Every knowledge was once -- anecdotal. Actually if you really think about it everything is anecdotal. Things come through your lense and only yours. Why do you trust others anyway, where is your rigor?? However "credible" a source is, why do you trust then and dont doubt then to death too? lol. How much rigor should one have? This is an impossible to answer question because, well, questioning will always exist and because things can be true but not provable. The topic of UFOs is a tricky one, because it can shape and change one`s entire worldview. So you are right in being skeptical, but at least be open-minded and investigate the field more.

One could say the Dogs can't because they don't know any better, but this is not the case with God. Although I think theres no ultimate reason of God's actions -- by being spontaneous without a cause and thus Love(circular and loopy). There could be some universal truths about God's way of being, actions and design, and those could be explained. Like karma, learning or something like that.

You`re stage blooooo

why is that?

Is this the ultimate explanation? Boredom？ I don't think God is dreaming this human life out of boredom per se, that's too limiting I feel. I don't know if it even has a why of why God dreams, that too would be limiting. Maybe its really unknowable of why consciousness does the thing it does -- like Shankara concluded. Or maybe it does have an answer, but I dont think its out of Boredom, maybe selflessness would be more appropriate.

If a practioner attain this state, why does he comeback? Does "he" have a choice? Or this is one of the mysteries of consciousness that has no answers?

@The Fetus Blesser Did you make this banger???!

Damn! Must've been tough times indeed. Hard to imagine you like that Interesting, so you got a lot of real world socialization out of it. You got some balls to meet online gamers -- the risks... especially for a woman . I personally never played Wow myself but yeah, nice to know your competitiveness in it . You will lose to me in any fighting game tho What might go on, in Natasha's mind... scary shit I bet haha😈.

@Leo Gura How is this new psychedelic potency-wise? Is it comparable to 5-meo, or lsd, or much stronger?

So you were a competitive demon back then?😈🧩🕹️ I don`t judge, I come from similar backgrounds. Played a lot of dota 2, fighthing games such as Street fighther, Tekken, anime ones(Blazblue, Guilty Gear). I always prefered 1 vs 1 games over team games, I couldn`t stand losing because of someone else`s mistakes. But I wonder, where does that competitiveness and a need to dunk on people come from？

Never thought Natasha was a channer We all come from somewhere right?!

A truly conscious person levitates his way to work

Where is your UFO tho

@Leo Gura Did you access this guy`s mind？

Do you have siddhis?

Money. Government . Police. Private property. Diseases. Violence. Not being enlightened. Sex.

I mean I guess this perspective can be valid if we are talking about sexual attraction, but even then its not mostly true I dont think. This thing about relating deeply to flaws and finding things boring when the individual has no flaws is mostly underdevelopment -- people like drama and like things that validate their drama. If we were to analyse this outside the lens of sexual attraction it wouldn't apply at all. Because the individuals that influenced, that people cry about, and admire were perfect or near perfect individuals with no flaws: Buddha, Jesus, Mahavira, Muhammad, Rumi, Adi Shankara etc.

@Leo Gura Holy shit I just had an insight into play!! Play is when you don't expect shit from the activity. No reward whatsoever, the activity is the reward. It's a no expectation mode of operation. So GOD is infinitely playful, it doesnt demand nothing from activities, the activity is an end in itself. GOD would do it even if it brings it misery, the doing is the THING, its profound. Just being itself, that's play!!!! Playfullness is the opposite of competitiveness, when you are playful you do not compare yourself to nobody or anything, you are with yourself, the moment is sacred!! When will society move from competitiveness to playfullness?? It`s crazy because competition is literally how people keep themselves sane, its what gives them meaning. They cannot imagine a world where you do stuff and dont receive any rewards, just doing what they like and not comparing themselves, not feeding their ego. Playfullness also correlates with selflessness. Just doing and being happy not expecting attention or rewards from anyone or anything. So in a sense spirituality is a path of playfullness, to get out of yourself and enjoying the things in themselves, just being??

Yeah, not everyone is an entrepreneur, and theres nothing wrong with that. Society cant function if people decide to not work for anyone an open a bussiness(at least the current sytem), we need workers and regular jobs. The first question one should ask is, are you an entrepeneur? And the second is, how much ambition do you have or need to not be sad.

@Leo Gura Would you say that Buddha was ambitious? I mean this one is tricky right? Does it take ambition to just sit for crazy ammounts of time? I don't know the answer tbh. I think it takes more crazy ammounts of bravery and character than ambition.

No reason at all. Being is self-generative.
