@Vytas She could still go out with you. Your texting is just not the best here. Don't ask girls to plan out dates and logistics. Instead, tell her. You should have told her: "Good, let's go walking tomorrow at 7pm at place X." Just assume she is free. If she's not, she will tell you and you can say, "When are you free?", she will tell you, and you will adjust the time. You should also pick dates and times when she is likely to be bored and free. Wait a day or two and ping her. Sometimes girls are just busy with life.

Forget about that. Focus on the joys of the creative process. You will never reach a state of "being great". It's a dumb idea. Drop it. Don't try to be some great person. Just be creative and enjoy it.

Nope. False! An apple, the color red -- when experienced -- are Absolute Truth. Experience is the Absolute. Ego has co-opted Absolute Truth and relabeled it "my personal subjective biological experience". But this is not true, it's just imagination. You need to change your state of consciousness -- which has nothing to do with thoughts. Thoughts can arise or not arise, doesn't matter. Nope, you can take a psychedelic and create a higher state of consciousness. Or meditate your way to it. Psychedelics are most effective. Or meditation/concentration/yoga.

@Muhammad Jawad But/and.... what you're still missing is that there is absolutely no difference between a cat and dog. All difference is relative. If you do this work seriously enough, and take psychedelics, maybe one day you will understand what I said.

Osho is simply saying that when God creates a cat, it cannot be a dog. Pick one. Get your terms straight. Osho is saying: A = A And that's the nature of Absolute Truth: Everything is itself. Truth is Truth. God is God. The only thing God cannot be is not-God, since God is God. The tautology of it is not bug, it's the key feature. Existence/God is a perfect tautology. It is exactly what it is and not anything else. This sounds like a trivial thing to say, but actually it's radically profound when you become directly conscious of it. You're not conscious of it yet. You're still stuck at the level of concepts.

Change your baseline state of consciousness via hardcore practices.

2+2=4 is not true in some absolute sense. It's only true relative to how you define those terms. Since you are God, you are defining those terms. You might as well ask: "If God creates a dog can it also be a cat?" If God is creating consciously, then God sees that to create a dog is to not create a cat, and vice versa. But you are not seeing this. You're not actually contemplating what you're asking or what the terms mean. Even God himself cannot create a cat when he is creating a dog. This is not a limitation of God, it's just a confusion on your part. You are confused about what "cat", "dog", "2", and "5" are. You are lost in your own relative terms and attributing this limitation to God. A = A B = B A != B A = B This is the logic of God. It's a superpositional nondual logic that you are not conscious enough yet to understand.

Some more fuel on the MAGA dumpster fire:

How about you go talk to some actual women instead of wasting your time on bullshit?

Stop making God out to be anything other than you.

Why you gotta make things so complicated when the solution has already been made in a single package? https://www.amazon.com/APEC-Certified-Alkaline-Water-RO-PH90/dp/B00SGGT14Q/ref=sr_1_8?dchild=1&keywords=apec+ro+system&qid=1611894965&sr=8-8

No, there are many ways to skin a cat. If you are an exceptionally ambitious and passionate person, you can break most of the rules and find a way. I was just making sure this guy doesn't end up homeless. If you want to make very risky bets with regards to your LP, you can certainly do that, but I would not generally recommend it because you could lose it all and paint yourself into a corner. LP requires a very delicate balance between ambition, passion, reasonable risk, and pragmatism. I worry that too many people take my course and then have some utopian dream that "everything will just work out if I naively follow my passions", without a serious regard for pragmatism and brute survival forces. You must account for brute survival forces. You must be hyper-realistic with your plans. But at the same time you must be ambitious and visionary and set your sighs high. It's a very difficult balancing act to pull off. Which is why few people actualize their LP. This requires some serious intelligence. Not IQ, but real intelligence.

@Thought Art Good... those are painful but crucial lessons. Becoming a solid creator is a very humbling experience as you confront your own lack of discipline and ability. Why do you think most people are leeches rather than great creators? Becoming a great creation requires lots of experience and deliberate practice. So roll up them sleeves and get to work. https://www.actualized.org/articles/no-growth-possible-without-training Immerse yourself in the training process and build up momentum.

@smurf88 It's not moral or immoral. It is whatever you imagine it is.

Here are our top priorities now with moderating this forum. Mods, please take note: Right-wing trolls, MAGAs, ideologues, and gaslighters in the Politics sub-forum Give out warning points to people spreading political disinformation, such as the notion that the Biden election was a fraud. People who we previously banned opening duplicate accounts (ban them again) Sexist, grossly biased stuff in the Dating sub-forum (warning points for this, not bans) New members who are actually stealth spammers and comment on very old threads and insert their spam links (ban these folks instantly) and flag them as spammers. Any thread that is older than 6 months and gets commented on is likely to be one of these stealth spammers. Mark all spammers with the "Spam" flag in addition to banning them. This spam flag automatically hides all their posts. Of course there is always other stuff to moderate, but those 4 items are the most common right now.

User @Akira has been given warning points for inflammatory quasi-racist comments.

@Jennjenn Aggressive ignorance, I call it

I'm not the one planning for the end times, as Shunya is.

Calm down. I am not your personal servant. Moderation takes time. This is the first of hear of this case.

Your logic applies to shorting.

I don't hate anyone or anything. Hate leads to the dark side. Firstly, I did a lot more than resell ads. I did creative work. Secondly, if you knew the full extent of my manipulations your jaw would probably drop. But the key difference is that I didn't bullshit myself or others about the reality of what I did. Survive if you must, but don't come to a forum about truth and consciousness and expect to not get called out for your bullshit. Rape people if you must. But don't come here telling us you're a hero. Be honest that you are a rapist. I never make moral arguments. I'm simply interested in truth and consciousness.

And don't you feel compassion for hedge fund managers? After all, they are just unconscious and struggling to survive. Compassion for me, but not of thee, eh? Everything you judge reflects back on you. Oneness.
