  1. @hoodrow trillson So you're saying women are bugs? Jking.
  2. @Ramasta9 I'm interested in going full raw, all natty, nutty, creamy avocado, no artifical, no modern, no nothing. I think it's a good general rule that the longer you go back in time, the less fucked up your food is. I'm surrounded by psychos that believe the pursuit of knowledge is not worthwhile except for a few very select goals (like earning money), that cooking your food in PFOAs, charring it, cooking it with plastic utensils, using fluoride, "it's ok, I'm still alive", that listening to how you feel inside your body is an impossible exercise, that sitting still is a cardinal sin, that going too deep into interpreting your own symptoms and creating a causal understanding of your life is just "ok, you don't have to think so much, thinking causes the symptoms, placebo". I want out of the collectively enforced psychosis. Might as well start protesting by not consuming a gram of what they eat.
  3. The only time I broke up with a woman, I said "I want to be single", and that was it. I was also 12. Maybe you can take some inspiration from that.
  4. Mineral water, brought to you by slightly overweight shaktipat teacher (RIP):
  5. I think I'm the opposite of metrosexual. Momosexual.
  6. I've seen my conceptual mind completely stripped naked, poking it, morphing it, manipulating it, making it dance, while being held in a bottomless, wall-less chamber of terror. My grasp on it has been entirely intentional.
  7. The objective of the thread is to learn what "gay" means. "To be gay is to be aware of gay thoughts." Did we learn what gay means?
  8. That's because you confuse conceptual understanding for direct experience. The conceptual understanding comes afterwards, in waves, in packets, because they are limited. And there are various different concepts that can be used to describe the direct experience and which resonates intuitively with it. But it's not the same thing as the experience. That's why solipsism is a philosophy. That's even why non-dualism as far as its spoken and not directly equated to direct experience (nothing added to or subtracted from it) is a philosophy. But solipsism as it's "taught here" is not even non-dualistic. It's dualistic. So it's a v̶e̶r̶y̶ ̶b̶a̶d̶ wrong* conceptualization of the experience. Yet it says there is a "here" and "now" which you have explicitly stated excludes certain things being possible and/or existing, which means it's dualistic. The absolutely horrific irony is that you talk about this and go exactly in the trap of confusing concept with experience. This is a painfully ironic shitfest.
  9. That's a load of bullshit. "No self" only ever arises not simultaneously as "no other" as a thought. The realization is infinite.
  10. Solipsism on this forum. Look up the use of the word before Leo's video and after, not just use but people identifying with or describing their own "direct experience" as solipsism. https://chatgpt.com/s/t_69692d8fb2848191a5f8af9dedbb042a
  11. Not long ago, I read the backside of a shampoo bottle and thought "what if I read up on every ingredient?" Sometimes this thinking is needed in discussions like these.
  12. You don't want them too cold either. Or else, snow balls. 🙂 🙂
  13. Clavicular has the rizz of a frozen bag of peas.
  14. I met a guy in my first year of university who I for some reason told I meditated and watched Sadhguru, and he happened to have bought Inner Engineering - a Yogi's Guide to Joy and he gave me it. That seemed like he was sent to do that. And when I read the first few pages, insta awakening experiences. I thought the book was too powerful so I hid it away. Then not long after I stopped meditating.
  15. What an impressive verbal image. You looksmaxxed the hell out of that image.
  16. I had not meditated consistently for years and started doing a structured release of attachments. In a few days, I entered non-dual consciousness while sitting down to watch TV. You can meditate for a lifetime, but if you cannot put the backpack down, even for a second, you will be carrying it, meditation will only make you drop it on accident.
  17. No :/ I irradiated them epiclothaneously with a stainless metal alloy device containing sub-room temperature liquid dihydrogenmonoxide. Tasty.
  18. I did a back-to-back sauna session recently. Entirely stripped of electrolytes.
  19. Doesn't matter if USA invades or threatens to invade your country. I live in Norway, next to Denmark. Denmark owns Greenland. Greenland is situated in a similar territory to Svalbard, which is owned by Norway.
  20. One of the realest questions you can ask is "where were you before you were born?", and the answer is not "in a past life" but in Infinity. Although now I start questioning that answer, considering you could be floating in a subtle body somewhere, watching your moma's belly from above, and the crib that you will inhabit for the next few years.
  21. When you ask people about reincarnation and how they know they have reincarnated, they will answer "I remember living at that place and that time". It's a thought about the past, of themselves seemingly living in the past. Therefore, the most epistemically parsimonious position is that reincarnation is simply when you can recall thoughts about what seems like yourself from a different life. Now, can you ask a sardine to recall and produce thoughts about any past lives? Perhaps not, but maybe you could ask a human about their past life as a sardine. You can be agnostic about the metaphysical implications of past life claims without denying that the people may have legitimate 1st person experiences of memories of what seems like past lives. You can say it's not "them" in a past life but simply "a" past life they recalled. But then there are extraordinary past life claims that trace lives chronologically back thousands of years, no mentioning of random time jumps or somehow multiple lives from the same time. It would then be a better explanation that there is a kind of a metaphysical structure there, like a subtle body, persisting through biological death. And this is already the case: your body is not the same body as 7 years ago. All the cells have been replaced, through controlled or circumstantial cell death, yet your experience persist, continuously through every cell death, from your first memories to today. When you're remembering your childhood as an adult, you're recalling memories from a different body. "But the overall structure is the same, it's the same creature, just gradually changing". Yes, there seems to be a kind of a "subtle" element that persists despite gradual biological change. And yes, it's just a funny example of how things persist despite biological change. Perhaps something persists despite complete biological structural annihilation as well.
