Did you have a cessation?

But you don't know that if you haven't experienced it.

So if you have not had a cessation, how do you know it's not higher than "God-realization"? And same for enlightenment (which cessation is usually a pathway to).

@Leo Gura Any confirmation?

Especially ham sandwich.

Accidentally aspirating saliva, choking and unchoking yourself with one slight cough after giving a compliment is the most attractive thing you can do as a man.

I think people who believe in manifestation are actually more likely to succeed in things because they have an optimistic disposition and they are taking opportunities as they see them. It's basically impossible to believe in manifestation and not do anything in order to manifest what you would like to happen. Because even if you want to manifest something ridiculous like money magically appearing inside your bank account, you would have to open your bank account to know that (and you will probably be proactive in that). Optimistic disposition, looking for opportunities, being proactive about achieving an outcome, that's a mode of being that trickles down into everything you do (and you will do a lot in the course of a lifetime).

Hatred stems from identifying something as "other" or not oneself, not in accordance with ones desires, values, autonomy, etc. And intellectual understanding can help to bring your identity into a more inclusive place, but it's not necessarily going to completely collapse all identification. That probably requires a bit more.

Anything stimulating / energy increasing tends to make it harder to fall asleep.

:/

It's more realistic, but it's not impossible. You just have to keep going. If the love is strong enough, you can't help yourself from keep going. @Davino claimed you have never had a cessation. Is that true?

👀 I'm a bit bummed I can't see hidden comments anymore but I also feel like I don't want to in this case. That thread was a bit off to begin with. Now it feels ominous.

Don't you have a girlfriend?

The emotional sensitivity and range. And that it feels like they can sometimes literally see things that most men can't see.

Bruh.

Wuuut. You did the C-word self-nuke? 🙂‍↔️ When was this?

I'll take Gary's word for it, he gives me that energy. I don't really need a brain measurement, I have my own device 😆. It's just the brain measurements seem very convincing and insightful, in that they seem to actually be measuring the thing we're talking about quite accurately. Do you see that exponential graph? It's like flat lining. "Alright I'll do nothing" -> *brain goes wooooom*. @Inliytened1 Bruh am I trippin, where's your green text.

Awakening you return to normal. Enlightenment you stay expanded. If you were to just sit and do nothing right now for four minutes like those in the study above, will you have thoughts about self, thoughts about the past, the future, or will there be complete silence, being? If the former, you'd expect your brain to look something like the novice meditators above. If the latter, you would expect to look like Gary Weber's graph.

Bro you're talking about awakening. In enlighenment, you crack. You can literally read this off the person's brain. When they're sitting doing nothing, their default mode network is seemingly completely shut down. When a non-enlightened person sits and does nothing, their default mode network is still active. Novice vs expert meditators DMN activation during meditation (span of about 4 minutes, red means increased activation, blue means decreased activation): Gary Weber's DMN activation while doing nothing: https://youtu.be/QeNmydIk8Yo?t=1962&is=2iySu3EnTc_exrNH Look at the smooth exponential curve compared to even the 10,000-hour expert meditators. It's just complete cessation of mental activity.

I've said exactly why I don't think it's effective (it's a culturally contaminated word). If you have a problem with that argument, you can say what that problem is.

I don't deny being God, I don't deny God is alone, I deny the word "solipsism" is an effective way to communicate your understanding about God. That's what the argument is about. And if you have no arguments about that, we're not discussing the same thing.

So do you have any arguments or are you just going to shitpost?

Uhm yes, that's the title of the video. But do you know what that means?

You are too by making a thread where you try to go through a logical deduction of why solipsism means why other people cannot see. You are being logical, so you might as well try to be rigorous in your logic. That's sort of the point of logic, and it's also what you think you are yourself (you think you are rigorous), until of course somebody calls you out on it, then it's suddenly not good to be rigorous.

Or they realize it's completely demented to use the word considering the cultural poisoning of it for centuries.
