SOUL

I, for one, welcome the digital deities when they take over the world.

People often confuse 'simple' with 'stupid' as if having an uncluttered and uncomplicated mental life means you're uneducated, ignorant or unintelligent. You know what is cluttered and complicated? This forum and the endless contention and fretting about complex abstractions. There's no authority to suggest it's required, truth or better. You know what is simple? Just being present. There are no complicated rationalizations or explanations required for just being present. People often confuse 'happy' as something which can be satisfied through conditions. If I just get this or do that, accomplish this or have it arranged like that...THEN I'll be happy. Whether it's spirituality or materialistic, both are conditional that people use to get 'happiness', which is really just a mood that is then ruled by conditions that can be disrupted by them. So it doesn't matter how simple or complex those conditions are if we base one's happiness on it that can be prevented or destroyed by them. To abide in a sense of well being with the effects of contentment, fulfillment, joy and love that comes with it so it is not disturbed or disrupted we can just be it unconditionally, not base it on conditions.

Beware the Obsequious AI Assistant AI is being coded to flatter you, and that should make you suspicious.

You just make up some random sentence and think it proves something? Useless words. I didn't explain nothing? Yes, I didn't explain nothing, that is accurate. Although, I actually did explain something when I wrote this I quote below from a previous post of mine but in your reply to me about this post you cut it out and didn't address it at all. It shows quite a bit about your mindset. True and false are relative dualism and if you are getting into the mind trickery of trying to think we can sort the illusion into two piles, one true and another false you have gotten lost in the sauce. Absolute truth isn't an exercise is sorting illusion, it's transcending illusion. If you continue to focus on true and false and who has what ideas all you are doing is reinforcing your attachment to the illusion. See, I didn't say you were wrong or it is false to do this, I just explained the influence of doing it. It is a trap to believe our own bullshit too deeply. It's all story telling we do to contextualize our journey. The map is not the territory and the path is not the journey. The irony of awakening is that there is no journey and nowhere to go. Explaining the joke is like trying to describe enlightenment. Words are not suitable to convey it, only the realization of it in awareness does it become clear.

There is no you to be here so there is no you to leave...or something

I didn't call the thread poop, I said it's someone liking the smell of their own poop.

Again, it seems you are seeing your own reflection in the mirror. I did give an alternative perspective, recognizing that there are many perspectives that fill the whole and calling others 'false' because it doesn't exactly reflect your own is just a mindset caught in dualism. It's a pretty desperate way to justify one's own beliefs by pointing fingers at others and saying 'false', and this isn't me saying your perspective is 'false', it's me explaining how it's limiting and dualistic. We can speak about how something or certain aspects can be a trap without calling other's perspective false. Even more insightful is recognizing the traps that can be in our own perspective as well. Also, you fixating on the cosmic joke is becoming a joke of its own, it's not the cosmic joke of course but something that is just funny.

The original post and this quote have something in common.

Just BE at peace, it's not something to make.

I'm just a mirror brother for what you want to see, but ask yourself this one simple question, who created this thread from what intention and for what purpose? It didn't arise on its own.

It is quite brave of you after thousands of posts on this forum proclaiming some sort of mystical understanding to simply admit that you haven't transcended the 'seeking' of something other and 'doing' of spiritual work not required so instead just abide in being present and the cosmic joke is revealed in awareness. Once that is then the joke will be gotten.

A seeker thinks spirituality is serious, once one ceases the doing of 'seeking' then the cosmic joke is gotten. Doing the 'serious work of spirituality' is what keeps that which is 'sought' from realization of being. Yet the myriad of beliefs and conceptualizations that are created by the mind and ego are the stumbling blocks to well being, they tell you if you do the spirituality wrong you get no cookie.

As long as it's not the P diddy ...because no diddy

Get out of your dogmas! Believe mine instead! This is too funny...

You are looking behind you for it when it's in front of you, transcend the story of your poop.
