Fact -- a relative but concrete discernable truth. Truth -- Absolute Truth and relative truth. Relative truth includes but it not limited to facts. Belief -- holding a relative truth. Assumptions -- beliefs that the small self is more or less conscious of. Could be unconscious.

It's so hard for me to listen to that Adyashanti video. Reminds me of what I used to think many years ago.

Is the presumption here that conformity is bad?

True. I still love chess though. I spend months learning the main lines of openings.

It seems as though mathematics has a simpler and more straightforward notion of "proof" than a lot of subject areas that all mathematicians more or less adhere to.

I explored Linux. It's just really cumbersome as to the apps.

The Rupert Spira video is amazing in the sense that he is saying that. Wow! That's the first time I've heard that kind of nuance from someone who I've kinda lumped in as a neo-advaita teacher.

No. Love of Wisdom is the inverse of suffering.

Would anyone ask why if there was no meaning, nothing is happening, and there are no facts?

I'm seeing some kind of issue where the body is in the shadow. It's obsession with the mind vs. body duality.

Whatever suits you I'm glad.

@Someone here That is such an awful song.

This just is the dance lol.

This just is the dance.

I see it as more of a dance. @James123 is a good guy. But if you enter the dance, you gotta expect to.

It's just something I noticed with neo-advaita. It seems like a huge game of hide-and-seek with the semantic games. Nothing wrong with that I suppose.

Linux can be cumbersome, but at least it forces you to learn how to code and get away from Microsoft. But in many ways Linux is not ready for prime time.

So any expression is okay to be here, but any naming is an erroneous thought (due to belief in right and wrong), which doesn't exist?

But this reaction seems to reveal something too. Generally speaking, people don't enjoy being told they are wrong.

There's real analysis and complex analysis as subjects today. Real analysis concerns real numbers and complex analysis concerns imaginary numbers. This is fascinating! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complex_analysis

I actually distinguish neo-advaita from nonduality. Most people think they are the same or very similar. Nonduality is way more profound.
