  1. What would you say if I told you that my experience brought me to that conclusion?
  2. Solipsism is unprovable. There’s no evidence to go against it or with it. The definition of solipsism sounds interesting at first, but it just makes it very difficult to discuss about since it is a far-fetched idea and it can’t be proven or disproven. I think it’s interesting and personally I could talk about it and other relating concepts about human perception and how we view reality for a while, but there is still not much to build off of with solipsism.
  3. Don’t remind me….
  4. Leo needs to humble himself like Jesus did
  5. I agree, sad it got locked! I really wanted Leo to respond);
  6. Greatest plot twist of all time
  7. Someone is about to be banned🤣
  8. Enlightened individuals do not typically claim to know with certainty that they are enlightened. The state of enlightenment is often described as a profound realization of the true nature of existence, which goes beyond the typical egoic sense of self. In this state, the mind becomes very still and clear, with diminished conceptual and emotional activity. However, this does not mean the mind is entirely empty. Rather, enlightened awareness is said to be a spacious, non-dual state of being that transcends the duality of empty and full. Enlightened people are not attached to labels or claims about their own state of consciousness. They simply abide in the clarity and equanimity of the present moment, without needing to define or categorize their experience. The true markers of enlightenment are a deep sense of inner peace, compassion, and freedom from the suffering caused by egocentric thinking.
  9. The question touches on themes of personal growth, redemption, and sacrifice. It challenges us to consider the deep-rooted beliefs and values that shape who we are, and whether we have the capacity to let go of them in order to become someone entirely different. It also begs us to reflect on the consequences of such a transformation, and whether the end result would ultimately be worth the sacrifice.
  10. Actually, there are no ‘states,’ no transcendence. There’s just One, Being, Energy posing(temporarily) as ‘separate entities,’ ‘humans’ who ‘think’ they need to improve or fix their ‘lives’ by ‘attaining’ enlightenment or some other ‘altered states
  11. Why don’t girls want intelligent guys? Ohh I think I got it🌟
  12. Can someone truly change their nature, even if it means sacrificing everything they once held dear? When we get something that we so desire, we feel satisfied. But is it really what we NEEDED? And when we find something that is beyond our resoning abilities, we call it the Truth. But does that make it the Truth? I believe there is no Satisfaction or Truth. Both of them are illusions. Persistent and impressionable, but illusions nonetheless. What is more important in life is to look at everything from an Alien’s perspective. And then, my friend, you would realise that what we believe in is not worth believing. We've created our own tiny little universe for ourselves, for each one of us. We've set some rules and regulations there, which prove to work only momentarily. You've to ignore what you have been taught and see everything for what it really is. For me, that is the way to progress, for me that is the way to prosperity. Thank you.
  13. Hate is easy. Love is hard. Hate requires no justification, and once ‘justified’ allows you to do whatever you want to others, while neglecting to offer them basic respect and decency. Love on the other hand requires that you endure at least some of their difficult qualities, and not only that, but share your good with them, sacrificing time and resources and making yourself vulnerable. Being vulnerable… getting hurt… this is hard.
  14. My guess would be because they've never felt respected or cared about by anyone, and they believe that putting on an “attitude” will get them respect (and attention) that they wouldn't otherwise receive on their own merit. It's probably also a self-defense mechanism to protect their actually fragile egos from the abuse they're accustomed to in their rough culture, which is a culture of self-degradation, ruthless envy, teasing, and bullying, and very little compassion, respect or kindness. People don't come out of the womb wired to act “ghetto”; they learn to behave that way from their mothers, schoolmates, neighbors, and the influences of cultural media. The way that people treat others is usually a reflection of the behaviors that have been modeled to them and of how they've been treated themselves. The way I've seen many “ghetto” women treating their kids in public is tragic—-cussing at them, threatening to hit them (who knows what they do at home), and being generally harsh and gruff with them, as though the children are a burden on their life. Imagine how growing up with such a mother (and having a father you never see and may not even know the identity of because he abandoned your mother when she got pregnant, as he did other women) will affect a child's self-esteem and self-respect. Then they go to a public school full of kids like themselves who act out the verbal and physical aggression and abuse they've received from their mothers—-and the emotional incontinence, and the lack of manners and respect for others they were never taught—on each other. And the entertainment media that their unscrupulous parents allow them to watch and listen to instruct them in all the behaviors of vice and degeneracy, telling them that those things are what is “cool” and admirable. There is no one to teach them otherwise, either at home or at school or in their neighborhood. Being ostentatious and loud, demanding and rude, vulgar, aggressive, belligerent, promiscuous, irresponsible, and ignorant of etiquette and decorum, all come from the examples that have been set for them, the lack of constructive discipline, and a life of emotional neglect and abuse by people who should have nurtured them. Pity people like that; they don't know any better. Had they been raised differently, they would think and behave differently. That doesn't excuse their poor behaviors, but it can and should create some compassionate understanding for those who were unfortunate in the circumstances of their birth in those who have been more fortunate.
  15. 1. Enlightenment is the end of suffering. 2. The “self” as we know it can’t reach the end of suffering because the core of its existence is anxiety. 3. The self who seeks enlightenment is like a salt doll trying to swim across a river. 4. Just like you can’t make a cherry pie without cherries, you can’t reach the end of suffering without questioning your belief in your “self.” But people fall into this in a variety of ways. Some people will tell you they actively questioned their concept of “self.” Others will tell you they just fell in love with everything, or they didn’t do anything at all. Their experience sure changed, though. They stopped having problems, so they stopped being a person who “has problems.” To “find” enlightenment, you have to refrain from creating the waves of conceptual thought that push it away. Instead of reaching for enlightenment as an object of thought, keep your attention on the one who is reaching. Just notice consciousness. Notice existence. Notice ‘I Am.’
  16. Those who go deep in spirituality start realising this and feel eternal love and bliss for everyone and everything. Forgiveness manifests itself in such people and they live free. The feeling of hatred evaporates and love fills up their life.
  17. Great answer! Many people like to think of themselves as a distinct part of god. In the same way a wave is connected and part of one great whole ocean, but is ALSO distinct, everything is distinct but connected through causation itself to the source/everything. Everything. Literally every-thing is god. Is IT. All that you see. It’s good to be open minded to everything before you scream like a crazy person that your literally God and not a mini version of the big one🤭
  18. First let us examine the role of the breath relative to prana. The breath does serve to keep the prana or our life force in the body and feeds it. This is much like how food is necessary to develop and feed the tissues of the body. Breathing is the main function of the prana to sustain our physical life. Prana derives from various external sources starting with the air taken by the lungs, the movement of the breath. This action of breathing is the main and most immediate life function we have. If a person fails to breathe, life cannot be sustained for very long afterwards. We take in pranic life energy from our various openings or orifices in the head. These include the eyes, ears, nostrils and mouth. Air is taken in through the nostrils, sensations through the eyes and ears, food and beverages and air through the mouth. The mind is also connected to these senses and brings in the life energy of words, emotions and thoughts, which includes that through human contact at a mental level. The breath also energizes the senses and mind and promotes digestion. We also take in life energy from the skin and the sense of touch that covers the entire body. The breath is only one part of this, though central in its function.
