@PurpleTree Adam and (St)Eve got tired of Westworld. If everywhere is Eden and all is Non-Duality, then what are you so paranoid about? In Non-Duality, there is no Good or Evil. There is no Devil lol. Only "Dualistis" believe in Devils! I thought you were beyond such "silly little fictions".

The grass is always greener on the other side??

@zurew Ooh, that's cool, actually, totally agree there. I thought you wanted a regular style definition. Sugarcoat points to an extremely specific distinction that is intuitively known and cued if one has previously experienced a resonant state of mind. Words are pointers, definitions tend to end up pretty circular and circumstantially defined by perception-biased distinctions for that reason while the infinite complexity escapes it. When I think of normal, I think of a gradient and tendency to adopt popular behavior based on resonance, in opposition to learning and iterating over oneself using meta-cognition. It's a more technical perspective and essentially one point on the surface of a sphere, whose center is the very aspect being pointed towards, and any amount of distinctions can be used to shift the point of the surface or even get closer. But the epicenter, that is the pointed-to thing itself is an intuitive qualia, specific and definite, akin to Leo's "Aha-Moments", you have to get it, to feel it directly, to "get it", and some are attuned more to the pointers of others, while others can try to approximate it cognitively and angrily argue ad infinitum, that's seen across spirituality and science a lot. It's interesting how qualities get encoded and used in our mind to relate to others, how sometimes we miss them and are lost in cognition, and I wonder how this "native acquiring" works and how we get to experience and codify these experientially in the first place, a pointer to the circumstances that tend to generate "pointed-tos".

I like your answer

Google: definition normal Dictionary Definitions from Oxford Languages · Learn more normal /ˈnɔːml/ adjective conforming to a standard; usual, typical, or expected. "it's quite normal for puppies to bolt their food" Similar: (usual) (standard) (typical) (stock) (common) (ordinary) (customary) @zurew Well, you wouldn't have been satisfied with the normal definition, because it would be "too vague", so I added a framwork to establish what leads to "normal" and I think it overlaps quite well.

Is it really Non-Duality if it leaves behind an experience or initiates a feeling though? Is the non-path a more preferable path to not walk and for how long does one have to not walk it? 🤔 Unless.. nobody non-walks the non-path?? 😕 but somebody's talking about it right now 🙃 And if nobody's talking, then nobody is the same as somebody, or is it? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@zurew Here's my definition: The degree to which one subconsciously adopts behaviors and identity due to one's environment, in opposition to self-aware individuation. It's a tricky gradient because after breaking out of one paradigm, you might get stuck in the next. Someone who is initially a pioneer of nuance may become the average later. Average is not even a bad thing in itself though, only when left for too long by itself, it loses the ability to adapt, like a system that's been taken for granted. The average is akin to a calcified form of energy.

@CARDOZZO @Sugarcoat @Princess Arabia @Schizophonia @Ero @integration journey @Jowblob @Xonas Pitfall @Joshe @Yimpa @Someone here @Spiritual Warfare @Breakingthewall @Javfly33 @Davino Has anyone here actually read my book? How do you like the cover btw?

Alien chanter, too new agey for you. What do you like about Non-Duality? Me personally: nothing 😁

Intelligence generates systems and distinctions from observation. But then these systems calcify into mechanistic & rigid heuristics. It's necessary to operate, due to bandwidth & level of interaction. Else you would be recreating the universe from scratch each time.

@Ayham There's probably dozens if not hundreds of people with your name though and it's only your first name, not surname, so it could be any Ayham, no? Plus, you'd have to google specifically for actualized.org too, the name itself leads to countless other internet sites in a search. If you changed the profile picture to one you don't use anywhere else, then that should suffice. But I get it, and @Spiritual Warfare had his name changed too, so maybe he knows about the process.

Hate to break it to you guys, but if you struggle with knowing what the "average person" points to, it's probably because you're that average person 😁

Have you tried new-age cults, cottages, or Scandinavia?

What's wrong with Ayham? Does it sound like Mayhem?

@Xonas Pitfall If you think my pfps are full of love, wait 'till you see the video collages I made: Part 1, Part 2 😁

There you go, not that hard after all... But then again, our body is like 2/3 water to begin with, right? So we're holding it all the time. It's why we need to use the bathroom. 😁

What isn't these days?

Hmm, I'm not sure, lemme error-correct this Tit for Tat strat.

We still have crocodiles and alligators. And you might say: "Well, the crocodiles and the alligators are so backwards!, because they have existed 100 million years ago and they still exist today, so how come they aren't more advanced creatures?" "How come they aren't Apes?" Well, because there are still niches in the world, where being a crocodile or an alligator is the perfect fit, and you as a really good zoologist need to understand that and then of course apply that to human societies. https://youtu.be/z_Gy3mTztgg?si=2oW8tNYASrF1AgkR&t=5176

@PurpleTree vs @Sincerity is archetypically equivalent to Dawkins vs Peterson. Change my mind. + Tell me I didn't time the segment perfectly for this thread 😁

If alive and aware, there's a self, not necessarily quite like ours though.
