Based on what you said earlier about your body at 10 years old, you seem to be only making statements about form here. You treat "you" as your body (form). What about the formless you? What about the you beyond space and time? Beyond physical objects? Beyond thoughts? The formless you is unchanging. You can become directly aware of this right now. What is the feeling you get when you think about what existed before you were born as a physical body? That feeling is the unchanging, formless you.

This is because "hot" and "cold" are both related to form. Hot as form is hot, and cold as form is cold. Change is related to form, but the changeless is related to the formless. Your analogy does therefore not translate.

Opposites complete each other. How do you know what hot is without experiencing cold? Hot is when not-cold. Cold is when not-hot. One way to see how hot and cold are one is to hold your hand under the tap and very slowly turn the temperature from hot to cold (or vice versa). Try to say exactly when it turns hot or cold. You can always make a finer distinction, because the distinction is arbitrary. The distinction is only you made inside your head. It's just one large gradient of experience.

Look who is suddenly appealing to time? There is ultimately nothing that prevents what we refer to as time travel from being possible. It's only impossible if you care about immediate human shortcomings, but that is like a plant saying horizontal movement is impossible.

Change and unchange are one. Change of form happens within an unchanging, formless void. Change is dynamic because it is contrasted with something static. You can't have just one or the other. They complete each other.

Language is pragmatic.

What about beards? ?

Why anthropomorphize God?

Yes. All thinking takes place in your head. That doesn't say much. Travelling from Boston to Houston is still just as conceptual as travelling from today to the stone age.

Communication and belief is pragmatic. It helps you to complete tasks so that you can survive. Certainty is a luxury. If you're distrusting what people say to the point that you dismiss all external information and let none of it inform your actions, then you're missing the point.

As opposed to travelling through space? Space is also a concept. Travel is also a concept. So what?

"Physical laws" are imagined by God. Same with "time travel". Nowhere is it written that you cannot travel through time.

I suggest not making 5 different threads about it.

Why are you starting a duplicate thread? You already posted in this one:

Would he even have been attacked in the first place if he wasn't flaunting a handheld weapon of mass destruction?

Who? The goal is to minimize spread. Hand sanitizer is one part of the puzzle. What is your point? If people can't understand the simple fact that the reason the entire world has decided to vaccinate its people is to reduce/minimize the probability of the virus spreading and endangering our society, then I don't see the point of having these kinds of threads. If you want to discuss the ethics of segregating the population, then do that, but stay on topic and don't poison the conversation with false information like "vaccines don't work!" We've had dozens of threads about that already. Learn to move on.

@Johnny Galt Even if infected vaccinated people transmit the virus at the same rate as unvaccinated people (which they don't), vaccines will still reduce the overall likelihood of transmission in the population. It's the people who are infected who transmit the virus, and vaccinated people are less likely to get infected. You're misrepresenting data by conflating probabilistic statements and absolute statements. "Vaccines don't stop/prevent transmission" does not mean "vaccines don't reduce the likelihood of transmission".

You can create belonging among non-spiritual people. What is stopping you from doing that?

Can't you see the golden glow?

The creator and creation is the same thing.

Don't go to a memory. Go to direct experience.

What do you mean by Stage Yellow cognition?

In your direct experience, point to a beginning or end in experience (something that is not an experience).
