Fear is a product of the mind. If anything, it is a feature of your mind, although I suspect the weird psychedelic cosmology you're pushing isn't going to help with this point. Don't give reality the burden of your fear.

Isn't it the case that we won't know until each of us gets there? His expression can be dissected all you want, yet that is not the same endeavor as truly listening. Neither believing nor disbelieving are relevant here. The claims he made are secondary to the consciousness from which they arose.

That's not really what his work is about, but okay.

¿Por qué no los dos?

No problem.

I have a fixation on plain honesty. Understanding as in "real knowing."

If you think you already understand what Ramana was conscious of and trying to convey, you're most likely not paying close attention.

It's even more prevalent considering that any action taken is a form of manipulation, though your examples provide food for thought too.

Why? Where has he talked about those topics?

Baron Harkonnen.

We live as if the social domain were true. We think it exists. We take it very seriously. And we are so steeped in this assumed reality to see through it.

The purpose of this journal is to share questions, humor, miscellaneous creative content, and raw reflections on personal empowerment and consciousness. My goals are to deepen my experiential understanding of these topics, improve my communication skills, have fun, and help others see things in a new light.

Brave has some AI bloat and whatnot and isn't much different from Chrome, given its base. The main options seem to be Firefox or Chromium-based browsers. Waterfox and LibreWolf look like solid Firefox-based alternatives, with the latter offering stricter privacy defaults.

Curious about what browser you use and why. There have been talks about some browsers adopting AI features, which might not go too well with a preference for privacy. I use Brave, by the way. It automatically blocks advertisements and strips out some trackers and whatnot.

When cooking rice, a few garlic cloves and one or two spices usually go in, plus salt. A simple sauce can be made with garlic, red bell pepper, salt, coriander, and olive oil - or tomato sauce works just as well. I don't take a fundamentalist approach to diet. Don't be afraid of spices.

Manipulation. Oh, we may also think that culture exists out there. So perhaps a better question is: What do humans do in this context? What kinds of thinking and behavior do we, as a collective, reliably engage in?

@Yimpa

That's relative. Language is what I'm talking about here. Does it exist by itself, or is it a process and the product of an activity? That may be a g00d q8est89h f9r that.

It's interesting that you would put it like that.

A joke, insinuating that you were @mmKay's nazi friend and are now apologizing to him.

Jerry?
