And being is what you are.

If you tell me a story, and I fail recount the sequence of events in the story, that would be the copying error I'm talking about. It has to do with reproducing the logical reasoning, and like a story, you have a start, some middle parts and an end. If you fail to do the logic, you fail to tell the story, and you end up not making sense.

If I were to summarize what I just wrote, it has a lot to do with non-propositional and embodied knowing, i.e. things that aren't easily grasped or taught through concepts or logic and which correlates with the amounts of data points and perspectives you've been subjected to. The problem of course is that because of this, it's hard to say concretely what it is.

Being > meaning > happiness.

Leo's standards of awakening are quite ridiculous, so don't expect to hit that mark. But generally, there are signs that can give you insight into someone's mental state, but you can't know for sure.

When I think of non-sense, I think of failed thinking, like a copying error. Things like the unknown go beyond current thinking, but there are certainly parts of the unknown that will be thought about in the future, and those thoughts don't have to be non-sense, unless of course there is a copying error. There are certainly things we can never make sense of, but we have a word for that: "trans-rational" (or "trans-sense").

I suggest consulting more sources than ChatGPT

Coked up.

You don't have to die on the hill of a ChatGPT answer. It's supposed to give mediocre answers. That's how it was trained.

I can understand hearing the word "transcognitive" and then reading the examples and intuiting some superhuman state of being, but if you're realistic, this is what most intellectual people do.

The thread and the posts in that thread all follow: Growth mindset Critical thinking Expand your knowledge base Embrace complexity Creativity Stay open-minded Embrace uncertainty Inter-disciplinary

That's just called not being stupid

I'm an ex- drug addict who benefited from mindfulness, but it was certainly not the whole story. Reductionism is rarely a sufficient answer. One of my old roommates from last year who began a downward spiral of heavy drug use was recently spotted by my friend picking bottles from trash cans. He regularly watched Sadhguru and talked about the benefits of meditation. When I think about it, that could've been me. I consider myself very lucky. There were a lot of fortunate circumstances in my external environment that coincided with each other and which affected my behavior and way of thinking. When I count up all the details, it actually seems like a miracle.

Addictions are distracting and reduces your ability to pay attention, and awakening reduces addictions (it goes both ways). Addictions are compulsive cycles. Establishing some order/direction/linearity is what paying attention is about and what spirituality is about.

The world is not black and white. It's green and blue (jking ?). But yeah.

To add to your list: pursue a life goal, establish a work schedule and always follow it (plan the conditions for taking breaks), write notes for everything your mind keeps reminding you to do, whether it's that day or the near future or the far future (so your mind doesn't have to keep reminding you about it), eliminate substances (caffeine, sugar), take a 10-minute walk every day straight after dinner, optimize your micronutrients (I take zinc, magnesium and fish oil and have not been sick since I started doing that), be aware of how foods make you feel and if you're getting enough of each macronutrient, get about 10 minutes of direct sunlight in the morning.

Most people prefer to do it in small installments

Anything you do as a human is in some way biased, so yes.

It's even wilder than that. I used to hang out with people who believed that normal people can harbor harmful energies, and even though I told myself that I didn't really believe it, I literally started feeling bad around normal people. In fact, even when I stopped hanging out with the people who believed these things, it took several months before I went back to normal. It taught me that beliefs aren't chosen; they sneak in through the backdoor. So that means you should be even more careful than what you're suggesting. It's the same reason why you shouldn't let your kids hang out with bad people. You're inevitably shaped by your environment, especially when you're young and have not developed your worldview.

Probably.

Correct. I could agree Nahm used to bring up the absolute a lot in threads that weren't explicitly talking about the absolute, but I didn't get the impression that he would for example directly quote someone and try to contradict their statements ad nauseam, or at least not in an inflammatory or low effort way.
