How to be wise

@Leo Gura so does the other infinity. 1 infinity - 1 infinity = 0

How can we increase our creativity? Are there any techniques we can use?

@Faceless it seems like you’re talking about enlightenment. But is there a way of increasing your creativity further? Is enlightenment the best way for it?

@Faceless when I say creativity, I mean ‘out of the box’ thinking. Is that what you’re talking about?

@Faceless do you really think that enlightenment will turn you into a highly creative person. I mean, there are many enlightened beings, and not all of them seem very creative.

@cetus56 but you need creativity to find a way to use nature. So it isn’t a solution for how to be more creative.

@okulele is that a reliable way? How long does that usually take?

@Prabhaker When I say creativity, I mean ‘out of the box’ thinking, and ‘coming up’ with clever insights. As you probably noticed, it’s very difficult. How can we make ourselves better at it? @denydritz thanks!

@Quanty what does that mean?

I’m very interested in how I can increase my ingenuity for solving problems in science. I found that this was a lot harder than creativity for artistic works. I’ve researched it online, but have found very little advice. Is there anyone who knows of techniques or ways to increase your ingenuity. @Leo Gura I’m hoping you might have some tips or information.

@Ibn Sina But what really mattered about those scientists are the insights that they achieved in science. How do you ‘come up’ with those insights?

@Leo Gura Why are they undownloadable? It would’ve been a lot more convenient if they were.

@Mikael89 You’re beyond help. Pray to God that you have an enlightenment experience or you’ll be living the rest of your life in this illusion.

@Mikael89 No. You have a thought that the pen exists and therefore you believe it’s real.

@Ether Factually. Literally.

@Ether Well, that just goes to show how deep you're within the illusion. You’ve identified with your thoughts so much that you don’t even realise that your thoughts create your reality.

@Mikael89 @Viking What you are experiencing right now is telling you that nothing exists. But because your thoughts have distorted your perception, it has made you think that what you are experiencing right now is proof that the world exists. Simply put, it’s a difference between ‘Being perception’ (enlightenment) and ‘Deficiency perception’ (ego). It’s a deep topic.

@Mikael89 The illusion doesn’t exist. You think that it exists. Which makes it an illusion.

@Highest You don’t exist. End of story.

@MarkusSweden That situation has very little to do with enlightenment. As Ken Wilber said, ‘waking up’ (enlightenment) is different from ‘growing up’ (spiral dynamics). Even if they all became enlightened, very little will change.

@Faceless What is the point of starting this argument?

@SaltyMeatballs can you tell me what differences this meditation habit made to your life? Just curious.

@MarkusSweden Enlightenment is anti-survival. You must choose one or the other.

@AleksM I’m interested in how to channel with ‘higher beings’. What do they know? What are they? How much practice does it take to channel one of those entities?

@Dodo This is your egoic heart talking. The truth of non duality prevails over all things. You must choose between the truth or your ego. All your ideas of compassion mean nothing. The truth is what you must hold onto.
