UnbornTao

To be clear, this behaviour is common to humans because believing is easy. It applies to humans no matter the field but you're right that "spiritual" or religious communities -- not saying this is one -- are specially guilty of this, as the purpose of most of them is precisely that, believing.

What is thinking for oneself? How to think critically? Inspired by Pyrrhonism.

A look into pain as it is such a foundational experience.

Go ahead, if you want. As long as it doesn't go against the guidelines and is respectful, sharing a perspective won't get you banned. About the hate part, people will respond however they do. No guarantee all of it will be praise.

Please, keep your posts clean and concise if you can.

Not many. If we're talking profoundly enlightened, a handful.

Rupert Spira and Adyashanti are a couple of the best, they hold satsangs -- meetings, check them out. I've heard Adi Da's transmissions were insane and intense, he was deeply enlightened according to Wilber. He isn't alive but you can check out his videos on YT.

That's a feature.

Happiness may not be circumstantially-derived, after all. You're still holding "winning" -- survival -- as happiness. Whenever things go your way, you say you're happy. When they're not, you say you aren't. I finally got the PS5 - yeah! I'm happy. I couldn't get the Ferrari - oh I'm so depressed. In any case, whenever the condition ceases to exist you're back to chasing the cheese -- of survival. Happiness may be a function of your nature... But hey, who knows? Maybe happiness is not what we think it is.

What do you experience as suffering when it is embraced, turned into, and felt completely, without resistance? What is the experience of pain like without concept? Could pain be a concept, an activity that you do? Is pain an assumption?

What would your motivation be for acting that way? I don't see how that would be helpful, except perhaps done occasionally in very specific situations. But it would have to affect another positively, not done for yourself. Perhaps you adopt the role of facilitator and see that another is stuck in a perspective, so you take a stab at his attachments so that he eases up on it.

Fair enough.

Could come up with a lame formula for both cases. I see potential here. I'mfucked-hate: when a human struggles both to get laid and to get paid.

OK.

Know what? When? Tell me what you are.

Fair enough, thank you. Keep up the good work.

It basically means stop lying to yourself about what you "know", if that's the case. Come on, it's not hard to see, specially with this "absolute" business.

@vibv Just a way to ground the conversation as I get the sense that what you say is not your experience.

I want them to make me the best omelet ever.

Haha

Agree on what? Not looking for agreement or disagreement necessarily. Those are irrelevant. What you should be doing is listening, paying attention to what a teacher communicates, and from there decide whether you want to study his or her work deeper or not. The validity of a communication stands on its own. I ignore the alien consciousness stuff because I've got no interest in it and have no idea what it is really. The "classic" work is already hard by itself. Neither do I share the claim that psychedelics can produce consciousness/awakening.

How To Make God Wetter - Part II

It can make it more difficult but at the same time your nature is already the case, enlightenment is possible no matter the circumstances.
