@levani If you want to really understand awareness, do the practice in my Mindfulness Meditation video. Thoughts inside your head are also things you can be aware of. There's no fundamental difference between your feet, ass, or thoughts. It's all objects within awareness. Thoughts are just more sneaky and seductive.

I used to be a dualist like you. Then I took an arrow in the knee.

@levani Become aware of your feet. There is you go. Awareness is not something you should define with words. Just be aware. And notice when you are not aware. Like you were not aware of your ass until I just mentioned it.

For the government to tell you how to be healthy it must first understand holistic health, which it does not because our culture has not yet evolved to such a level. Government's approach to health is mostly stage Blue/Orange. Which means materialistic health strategies that avoid preventative and holistic health. Also, the government's biggest job is to keep people from dying, not to make them thrive. The government is there to go very basic stuff, not to lead you towards greatness. That's your own responsibility. From the government's POV it is not a viable solution to just hand out free supplements to people because Covid will still ravage half the population who are unhealthy, obese, and who will not stick to a consistent vitamin schedule even if their lives depended on it. Since most people are dumb, government's solutions must be such as to work for and scale for tens of millions of dumb and lazy people. They must also scale for poor people, since 1/3rd of the US is poor and cannot even afford stuff like vitamins or healthy foods.

Obviously it's selfish. But more importantly it's unstrategic because your chances of getting harmed by Covid are higher than getting harmed by its vaccine. By refusing the vaccine your risks actually increase. So as usual, selfishness and fear tends to backfire.

@electroBeam Bro, take it easy.

Necromancy? You're on the wrong forum.

All difference is imaginary from the perspective of Absolute consciousness. But this is not the place we live life from. This is her mistake. Because no matter how much she holds this position, her body and mind still must survive in the relative world. Voting is pointless if you don't care about dying and suffering. But of course you care extremely much about dying and suffering. Even if you are enlightened you STILL care about minimizing the suffering of others. Yes, it is of course an illusion. But when illusion is all that can ever exist, this point isn't as strong as she thinks. This is a common trap, to conflate relative matters with absolute matters. Just because you understand nonduality does not mean that your mind will properly reason about society or politics. Telling spiritual people not to vote is extremely irresponsible and ignorant, no matter how enlightened you are. Enlightenment does not automatically grant sound political reasoning. All survival happens in the relative domain. If you give up the relative domain, you must also give up survival. You can do that, but do you really understand the severity of what you're doing? When your child is being raped, are you gonna be okay with that? << Those are the real stakes here. That's what politics boils down to. It's very serious stuff. Contrary to what most people think, politics is about as serious a topic as there could be. It's all about life and death and suffering. Which is why people get so ideological about it. If it wasn't important people would not become political radicals. And the choice to do nothing, politically-speaking, is still a choice. So you cannot escape politics. Politics will happen regardless, even if you decided to ignore it. Basically she's being an ostrich sticking her head in the sand, hoping that someone else will solve all the political problems while she basks in the Absolute. Which is actually a selfish position.

Nothing about that is normal. If you feel bad after having an orgasm, something's wrong with your system. Jerking off is not supposed to make you feel bad.

That's absurd. Faster CPUs require a new chassis with faster bus, better cooling, and other such factors. Not to mention that many devices are mobile and don't have space for modules. The old units don't need to be tossed in the trash, they can be recycled. And usually before that happens they are resold many times over. No one just throws a CPU in the trash. They resell it. The market is actually quite good as being efficient when it comes to stuff like this. Central planning such things would be less efficient and more wasteful.

@73809 Don't surrender TO thoughts. Surrender thoughts. Big difference.

Alrighty, looks like this issue has been settled.

I once went to tour the palace of Versailles in Paris. The interior rooms were less comfortable than my apartment. A king from 300 years ago lived worse than you today.

That's as silly as saying people replace their car every year just because car companies keep releasing yearly upgrades.

Then why aren't you happy? Today your material conditions are better than any king who lived of centuries past. You fool yourself, is all. If I gave you a billion dollars tomorrow, you'd be just as miserable as ever. In fact, you'd become suicidal once you realized that material conditions don't make you happy AT ALL.

It's not milking when they give you no work and you got dead time.

You are EVERYTHING. The only problem is when you think you are one thing to the exclusion of any other.

Don't spread misinformation on this forum. Truth and consciousness are identical.

I'm cracking down on all victim rationalization threads related to getting laid. Don't let me catch you justifying why you are too lazy to talk to girls.

If I keep seeing you guys spreading these victim narratives I'm gonna start banning you. This is a self-improvement forum, not an Incel forum. Man the fuck up and roll up your sleeves or you'll be kicked out. I want to see evidence of you taking action rather than just keyboard-jockeying. @Blackhawk Lookin at you, boy.

@GroovyGuru Use that dead time at work to plan out your LP. I built half my first biz that way.

Become so good they can't ignore you.
