They should but they aren't imo, they are just promoting ideological identification, which only enhances something that is not Reality, hence leading someone further away from Truth! Its this way on all forums, they lead to one having to defend their identities, not looking foolish or wrong in others eyes.. Don't make Spirituality a Study, its a personal journey, just find a method and mentor/guru and do it, its that simple, talking about it forever leads to the opposite of what it is all about!

@Bjorn K Holmstrom Thanks! Now its just a matter of How to do this, to build functional alternatives now, with all this polarity in politics and society! What I find frustrating about politics is when one side thinks they have all the answers and the other side does not, here in Canada we have Question period, a daily hashing of ideas and criticism, its super childish and fake imo, anyone that has any sort of reasonable intelligence can see the game being played, its embarrassing actually, we can and should be doing much better than this! The only answer I can come up with is too fulfil my desire for Spiritual Enlightenment or close too it, be the light I want to see in the world, and get off the grid somehow or win the lottery lol!!!

Agreed! Although I am Canadian, living in Toronto, its the samething here! What bothers me the most is two fold.. 1st we have more systems set up to make things better for ppl, we can actually feed and house everyone with basic comforts but we don't, due to greed! 2nd is the People, although I understand maybe why they are this way, survival needs come first for sure, but the selfishness I witness daily is painful to witness, its everywhere, as soon as I leave my place it starts up, selfish drivers, selfish behaviours rule, and it doesn't have to be this way, in this context its not about Survival but about 'What I want, in disregard of others needs!", this really gets Me, and its everywhere! We can do better, but we don't!

@Bjorn K Holmstrom @ryoko Cool discussion Guys, I was into Venus Project long ago, I still think on some level it is the way, but as mentioned we have to evolve our Consciousness levels globally for it too work for sure.. I think we are at a critical stage in Humanity and Us surviving as a species.. There are powers that want Us to have a high Consciousness existence but there are more powers that don't and unfortunately they control the world today, and with the way things are I am not sure we are going to make it. I watched a video on the 5 extinction events recently and what is next to come, ecologically we are already in the 6th extinction event, its happening now, from what I gathered there is pretty well nothing we can do to stop it, other than prepare for life to change dramatically in the next decades, its happening faster now than ever! For sure if we can deal with what is happening, the population levels will drop dramatically, Life today will look like paradise compared to what is next to come! Also fighting against Us is just the plane crazy that is everywhere and gaining more momentum, I see the world in two ways, Nature is Beautiful, its provided Us with everything we need to Flourish, and then there is Us Human Beings, completely unaware of our True Nature and Burning up the planet to try to fulfill basic emotional needs and wants, its just crazy IMO. Venus Project is just a basic idea, it can happen, someone thought of it and it can work if we apply it, but its going to be a slow process and time is of the essence. Then there is this thing with Free Energy and such things that keep coming up once in awhile but are thwarted by the power elites that don't want things to change.. Anyways was glad to come upon this discussion, great stuff!!

Good Post and correct.. Absolute Solipsism, if One buys into they are Narcissist for sure, "I am the Only One in Existence" and all others are a figment of my imagination, this is Egoic to the highest degree.. Its simple we have separate Bodies and Minds, but we are neither of these things, what was there before the body/mind came about, what allowed it all to happen, the essence of our nature, of what we are is the same, in this there is no "I", just pure Consciousness or Shiva (that which is not), or in normal language a sort of Potentialized Intelligence, that allows anything and everything to exist, we are a sort of Expression this Intelligence, working its way thru this Dual, Karmic, Material world with super Capabilities if we strive for it, most do not! We can go from being/feeling totally separate, detached from this Intelligence or Absolute, or we can be complete intouch with it while Embodied, the choice is up to Us...

@rudirotbart I would say "God/Absolute" allows all Possibility to be Explored, not that it "Has" to happen but its Possible to Happen.. The determining factor is Free Will, or Your Ability to Respond, which Human have to most capability but few explore this today. That is why we have this thing called Spirituality, so we can explore it, Free Will, an ability to control how we are within ourselves and the consequence that result from that.. I believe if we are highly Conscious, more empowering experiences result, Peace, Happiness, Bliss are more natural for Us, and in these states Dis Empowering Life Actions don't come out of it, things like war, torture, corruption, cruelty etc... Since the ppl of this world are not highly Conscious imo, we have what we have, war and suffering everywhere, from the most wealthy nations to the poorest, its crazy on top of crazy and its getting worse.. The funny thing is those doing the most to change this, to raise Human Consciousness, get coitized for it, which is beyond Me. Ego, false Identifications, Intellectual addiction rules, and because of this Crazy is the theme of the World!

Good Post and I agree too. We're in Big Trouble! Yes there has always been terrible ppl, unkind ppl, egoic ppl, but they were limited in what they could do, they could only affect a small amount of ppl, but with technology today crazy ppl can affect allot more, the individual today is more empowered than ever before, a person can ruin you just via online stuff alone, the world is more crazy today then ever IMO...

I'm not, in Canada we have more gun control but there are more and more shootings each year, from illegal gun possession,, Of course there has to be regulations and control, too many crazies out there and more arising each year, but in the end the determining factor like over 70% of it is mental health problems which are on the rise, this is due to many factors, mainly we have a fucked up society and media and influences, as well as an economic system that is enslaving ppl, forcing desperation and more crazy,,, This shit is happening daily and more often now... https://toronto.citynews.ca/2025/08/30/2-men-arrested-following-daytime-shooting-in-brampton-neighbourhood-last-month/

This has more to do with Survival Instinct.. Since most are Unconscious, leaders as well, if a capability arises they will use it, and if one country has it the others will get it, its Moloch's, where one stupid act leads to another and another...

I'm not against rules and laws, of course we need them because of all the crazy that is out there, not because of the access to the tool... just saying its more about the crazy than the tool...

No, the access to the tool has a smaller role than who is using the tool... Everyday I drive within the city, everyday within 5 min of starting my drive I see infractions upon infractions, from small ones to bigger ones, and everyday ppl are dying or suffering due to all of these infractions taking place, if no one was driving there would be no infractions, so its the driver that is the main force behind accidents, not the vehicle, the vehicle/gun has no will of its own, the driver/shooter does... We only have so many law, so many more laws being created because of the more crazy that is going on. Religion is cheap and free psychiatry, ppl believe in moral codes or commandments, it keeps them in place via guilt, or at least it did in days gone by, not as much these days, today ppl feel like what happened to others won't happen to them, but it does on a daily basis...All do to Unconsciousness of what Is, that is the main problem, and high level of Consciousness is only available to Humans! https://toronto.citynews.ca/2025/08/30/1-man-dead-3-injured-in-alleged-street-racing-crash-on-hwy-401/

He's partially correct, by the Way Robert was Spiritually gifted from what I know it came to him naturally, but even he sought out Sages and Masters! For the ungifted they need to do something, the doing is about getting rid of the shit that is preventing them from the natural experience ppl like Robert had, its really a UnDoing but if its not a natural experience for someone then they need to do something (Sadhana) to make it natural!!

Yes at the least ppl are aware of the concept of Enlightenment, and it resonates with them, but trying to find it here or anywhere on the internet is basically a losing battle, its not found there, its found within You as a certain Potential, all One needs is a method to allow that Potential to rise up and become Experiential, but ppl are too intellectually identified, everything is mind, thoughts, concepts, theories and over and over again.. Sadhguru says never make Spirituality a study, don't study it, if You do then what is happening here on this forum daily is the result, repeating threads, repeated replies, ppl with thousands of post/replies and it means nothing a day or two afterwards, all it can do is inspire in a small way until one realizes its up to themselves within themselves to find the Answers, certainly not here!

Because the topic of Solipsism is Spiritual Drama or Entertainment for most around here, it makes their heart beat which makes them feel alive.. it draws the most attention for mostly that reason, hence why I started a thread about why no one here is really Enlightened or knows anything about Enlightenment, if they did, not much drama would be happening here as it is now daily!

I agree with that, but in the end its ppl shooting ppl, so its not about the tool, if they didn't have access to a gun they would run ppl over with a car or use another tool.. Of course ease of access to the tool, like a gun, has a role but ultimately its the crazy ppl that are doing this, imo there is more and more of them at various levels of crazy, the way things are set up today more crazy will be the result of it for sure...

The solution is Raising of Human Consciousness, the root problem today is Low Consciousness for the majority of ppl alive today. What this means is simple, People need to realize what it means to be Human, that we can live beyond the Survival Instinct or Egoic nature in simple terms. We have Free Will, we can choose how to be within ourselves, its within our Potential! What we have now with tech is that our Survival is more guaranteed than ever before, we have more systems set up for food and shelter provisions that ever before for most ppl today, the ones that don't have today this is due to again low consciousness, there's more profit to keep them poor than to provide them with housing and basics! I don't think we are going to make it though, the conditioning machine that is ruling our societies has too much momentum, plus there are other things happening that are just out of our control, I would be surprised if Humanity is still around in 100-200 yrs from now, either we self annihilate ourselves or nature does it for Us!

This place is a little crazy, round and round we go, but no one is going anywhere.. The point of the thread is calm/peacefulness when sitting on benches around trees lol... I agree for once with PurpleTree!!

Yes agreed. I look at many things in society and the world, guys like this and others, mostly my own observations of what is around Me daily, it doesn't look good imo!

This guy is interesting, a different sort of Geo Political outlook than lets say Peter Zeihan, its interesting to listen too, with some Spiritual insights brought into it, which Zeihan doesn't do at all...

Yes, but guns don't shoot ppl, ppl shoot ppl, the problem is too many crazy ppl, too much crazy period in every aspect of Human life, we're doomed i think...

@Princess Arabia You keeping on saying "Me" but in the next post You'll say Nothing is Happening and there is No One here, so what is it?? This is the contradictions in your posts, just pointing it out too You, Your obviously heavily invested in it, so here it is. This is not about Me or Emotion, this is a a place of sharing and learning, ppl can share what they want but have to be ready to be called out on it if it is basically nonsensical in some ways, so one cannot say nothing is happening, no one is here, then get upset as You have above using words like Me, Myself and such... Torture is one of the most Personal things that can happen, as is Loving Someone, both are the same but opposite when it comes to Life Enhancement and Empowerment, its obvious...

Ok, he states in the vid that its just a theory of why things are the way they are, and that it may not be true, this is what Humans do, try to come up with explanations as to why things are! He seems a bit more humble than Ziehan, with a different angle, but of course we have to do our own research, with stuff like this we may never know the truth absolutely, but for me he seems to be on track with how I understand things, that elites control the world, not governments and the power is held by the few and they don't want to give it up no matter what the cost of who suffers for it...

@Princess Arabia Remember Your words if it is ever happening to You, hopefully it never does.. This is the problem with the Absolutist such as Yourself, everything is impersonal because nothing exists, until it happens to You then everything is personal.. This is no good on the spiritual or non dual or path you describe as then the person which does exist doesn't deal with where they are right now, Blissful on the beach or being Tortured as in the end everything is Personal, hence why You will reply!

Well maybe in the end game it all ends up being about Surrendering, but if one cannot do it now within this moment, they need a HOW, How do I surrender in this moment if it is not naturally happening.. The How becomes more important than the Why or end game which it seems You mostly focus on, End Game results, which comes from Goal orientation rather than Process orientation.. If it came naturally for everyone we would be in this situation we are in in the world, nor would we be on this forum imo...

No, first God is just a representation of Potential, Beauty/Love/Kindness is one sort of Potential and is Life Empowering, Ugliness/Hate/Cruelty is another and it Disempowers Life, as a Human, You can choose how to be, where Your Life Experience sits, in Beauty/Love/Kindness or Ugliness/Hate/Cruelty, this is all based on how Aware/Conscious You are, Low Conscious Ppl (which is the majority in the world today) live via the Ugly/Hate/Cruelty route to various degrees, only a few are high level Awareness and truly Love Life and everything in it which empower Life to happen more that way...
