Where is purpose found?

Server issues @Leo Gura :

And everyone does!

So we finally found out, and now everyone's absolutely clear on the nature of experience.

I don't think you do, actually.

I use the phone version occasionally to look up certain files, so I don't personally need online syncing for my phone as much. It depends on how you use it. Obsidian Sync costs $4/month now. You might want to look into Syncthing or AutoSync. Dropbox might also be an option, or iCloud if you use Apple devices. @OmniNaut's advice sounds legit, too. There are also plugins that might offer similar functionality: https://github.com/vrtmrz/obsidian-livesync https://github.com/Vinzent03/obsidian-git

Is it a state then, as you said? Try to put your experience into words. Great to hear.

Should be free unless you pay for Obsidian Sync.

Those are circumstances and actions, wouldn't you say? Reread the entire segment.

It is! And accurate.

It's the one I use for my commonplace book, so I agree.

Thanks, Google!

Excerpt From Ending Unnecessary Suffering Peter Ralston

The forbidden fruit may represent the ability to represent what isn't in our minds - to conceptualize. This ability grants us both immense power and deep suffering at the same time: it separates us from the world, allows us to misrepresent reality, to feel isolated and empty, to create whole imaginary worlds to live in, and so on. Interestingly, the origin of the story itself is based on the very activity it forbids.

Done!

@Breakingthewall Not to come off as a jerk again, but you need to do some serious work on assumptions. Entertain the possibility that the truth of the matter is actually unknown - especially regarding 'the absolute.' It is neither potential, openness, nor an absence or a filling. It is whatever it is and remains up for grabs. We can leave it at that - or "mu." By the way, I'd like to acknowledge that we might be facing some language barriers here. Openness as a principle is relative. Consider that for something to be open, the context of space has to be presupposed. It's true that an open mental state is invaluable for learning and contemplation, but it also needs to be paired with 'rootedness' - having your experience grounded in reality and accurate distinctions. Otherwise, you become off-balance, and that openness turns into mere pretension. Without being grounded, your ability to recognize your own dishonesty and ignorance gets diminished. It can also be useful to consider the act of communicating and how it differs from spouting beliefs or conclusions. Communication is about conveying your experience as it is so that another can grasp it for themselves. The keyword here being 'experience.' What exactly that is hasn't been fully grasped by us yet, but the term gives us a direction to look nonetheless. We can keep exploring meaning now.

I'm not entirely clear on what you're trying to say. I guess it depends on what you mean by consciousness, but in that segment, I was talking about perception. I'd rather not speculate on these topics, though.
