AION

I’m visual learner. But some people learn better through listening. It depends on your brain type. But if it is a good book I use both the pdf as the audio at the same time.

Stop ruining my thread though. 😭

@Breakingthewall the best is that you read his book and contemplate it with AI. That is the only way to understand him. Because AI will correct you. Traditional contemplation without AI doesn’t work. Or you have to hire Ralston to contemplate with him together and he will correct you. But most people don’t have the cognitive skills to auto correct.

I doubt Natasha understands anything about Ralston. She is doing her best though.

Leo and Peter also diverge too. Problem with Leo is that he doesn’t have formalized definitions and teachings so it is sloppy from the get go. I hope his book will clear things up if he manages to finish it.

No, that is not what I meant.… they all have a different definition of “self”. Although somewhat overlapping but still different which is important to understand. Mfs don’t even understand the basics. This is tedious and important stuff.

The problem with this discussion is that the definition of “self” is different for every teacher. Carl Jung, Sigmund Freud, Peter Ralston, Leo Gura, Ken Wilber, psychologists have a different understanding of the word “self”. And when they talk about the subject of “self” they use the same word but they mean something else. But that is a discussion that transcends this forum. Don't expect that level of discussion on this forum.

The bottom line of the book is that dissolving the self dissolves our suffering. He is very clear in this.

Out of love. 🤣

The whole book is about that 😭

Israel is not a viable entity on the long term. And especially now with US retreating from ME they will either bend or break.

Ralston says suffering is inevitable. But unnecessary suffering can be reduced to none. If somebody says since I found spirituality I transcended all suffering you can be sure that person is bypassing. And everything he says should be taken with a grain of salt.

@OBEler lmao that you are asking her that question

@Natasha Tori Maru I doubt that. I contemplated Ralston’s work for hours with AI and did the exercises together with AI. You only consumed the book. I would be surprised if you could mog me.

Not everybody worships mother Natasha like a cult 😝
