There Are No Low-Consciousness Activities

[Ether]

Why?

You are free to enjoy everything. Everything. You might think watching tv or youtube videos decreases the level of counsciousness but this is further from the truth.

The only way that happens is if you start thinking or identifying with the thoughts that pop up.

As some of us know, we dont have control over what thoughts pop up (not even me, Leo, Buddha or Buddhist monks!)

So, if you focus on your breath, do mindfulness or just observe your thoughts, your counsciousness will likely not go down. Why?

Cuz you are not doing what I said above!

In fact, it gives you experience and practice!

You can learn how to stay aware in "low consciousness circumstances"!

So, two people can look at the same circumstance in two different ways:

"Ah, this suck, I hate this!" or "Ok, I will take this as a learning experience."

 

You see, my G, keep it lowkey and just be!

@Nahmsorry i made a mistake in the tile, can you change now to no?

[Saumaya]

@Ether Thats right. if you are doing something consciously. They are no low conscious activities.

[Ether]

@Saumaya u got it

@Ether But beware. That does not mean that you should watch pornhub 24/7. You will end up being unproductive and unconscious. 

Yes in the nutshell there are not such activities if you are always aware of your consciousness, however some activities greatly complicate this. For example video gaming, watching movies or porn.

@egoless I do all of those and never lost one bit of awareness

Sure usually you never notice when you do  

[Vingger]

even identifying is ok

[Hsinav]

If you are aware, there are no problems what so ever, the problem is that there is a lot of "classic-low-conscious-activities" that just keep pulling people down to new levels of unconsciousness of course without them knowing about it. The question is - why would you want to watch (for example) the cheapest, saddest produced porn ever made if you are aware? The only answer is - you are not aware.

Other people are as real as the dream is, no more and no less.  It's a qualified reality.  It's like -- yeah -- you're real, but the underlying dream is not, so there you have it.  Ego is an illusory reality.  So, it does exist in a sense, but not substantially.  It exists as a dream exists.  It seems real but has no substance to it.
