Why Must Life Feed on Life?

You're not taking from others. You're including it into your system. You merge your conciousness with smaller conciousness and you both become part of a bigger conciousness. And then you get consumed by a guru conciousness. But you don't dissappear. You become part of a larger conciousness.

I can’t help but wonder if this cycle of consumption and suffering is the only way life has to work. Is it possible for life to exist without coming at the expense of other life? Perhaps we’ve been conditioned to see the world this way, but is there a possibility of a different form of existence that doesn’t rely on this constant predator-prey dynamic?

What I’m getting at is whether it’s possible for human prosperity or any form of life to evolve beyond this pattern. If so, what would that look like? Could it mean a new kind of harmony, where everything can exist without the need to sacrifice something else?

 

No, not fundamentally. Its a feature of finitude as we live in a finite world.

It is possible to reduce suffering however. Like, we don't live in a feudal society for instance. History shows that slavery and wars have been reduced and that society is becoming gradually more egalitarian and "utopian" relatively speaking. For example, women have been second class citizen for most of human history. That has changed relatively recently.

Long-term, society seems to become less and less destructive due to unsustainable practices becoming self-defeating as technology develops, both hardware and software (as in the quality of institutions and development of culture). Female oppression became self-defeating due to industrialization and the need for more workers (it wasn't a revolution in my opinion as much as a relinquishing of outdated practices).

Its possible to reach a highly conscious and egalitarian society but then why should our civilization exist and not someone else's? Or at all? You have to accept that your selfish to a certain degree in this world.

Do you think it’s possible that there could be another kind of balance, one where extremes aren’t required?

Perfect balance is dancing with existence with genuinely not knowing or not thinking. Going crazy with the music.

Do you think that selfishness can ever completely cease, or is it just a fantasy that will never come to fruition? If it were to happen, it would be impressive, as we humans have so many flaws, but it is still worth considering that possibility.

I don't have any experience with it but I've heard from Leo and the likes that that is essentially transhumanism. That a perspective devoid of a human agenda is no longer human.

But even then, it seems he still has goals and ambitions. So human after all for the time being.

I have actually lost hope in humanity. I want to see change, but unfortunately, I can’t envision it, even though I wish I could.

Not humanity, you need to change.

Good, accept what you have. Stop questioning. Everything is already what is supposed to be. Any judgement, question comes from the self

You can work yourself up to a position where you contribute to making a particular change in the world. Then at least you can say you've done your part.

Remember, you live in the most prosperous time of human history. I wouldn't worry too much and just enjoy life for what its worth.

So, let go yourself. That you love to be. Meditate at least 3 hours per day in darkness and silence. If you can, do psychedelics and have a conversation with us as contemplation.

We live in a parasitic world governed by a predator-prey dynamic, where every living being must take the life of another conscious being to survive. This reality seems inherently designed for misery and suffering, often referred to as “LOOSH.” What kind of mind would intentionally create a reality like this?

 

A kind of mind you wouldn't understand till you meet face to face.
