Notice, when you say that I cannot lift up your arm, this begs the question because you sneak in the implicit assumption of my arm vs your arm, which is the very fiction we are here to deconstruct. When you stop thinking in terms of my arm vs your arm, you will have the possibility of realizing that my arm IS your arm! "This is mine, that is his." << this is pure fiction! You might as well believe in Santa Claus.

There is an entire therapy method called Cognitive Behavior Therapy which dealing with stuff like anxiety through thinking. But did not say thinking is the only or the best way. There are many techniques. You frame it as mind-games, but the truth is your anxiety is a mind-game to begin with. Taking responsibility for how you unwillingly cause your emotional reactions is a huge part of our work here.

That's your ego's idea of it, sure. I have been lifting your arms your whole life. I have been controlling your body since you were born. I am looking through your eyes right now, silly. - - - - - - None of the above can make sense to you because you believe I am not you. I am you typing this thread. You won't get it without a profound, radical awakening.

In your example, you can certainly train yourself to let go of anxiety and replace with positive vision and confidence. That's a very important technique to learn. Telling yourself that you cannot change silly anxiety like that is a victim mindset.

No you don't. Don't kid yourself. You and I are identical. It will never makes to ego that ego is a fiction. The physical, biological difference you think that exists between you and me, is ego. That is the fiction! Physics is a fiction. Biology is a fiction. History is a fiction. You have no idea what an enlightenment is. You have egoic ideas of it which are nowhere even close to the real thing. We do live in the absolute if you are conscious of it. You are so wrong that it cannot possibly be explained to you. Awakening cannot be explained to an unawakened person. Take a psychedelic if you really want to know how you're wrong.

@Don Wei Be mindful of doing work just because some other human told you to. This is a waste of your life and potential. Then again, if you don't have a clear picture of what you want, then following that human might be better than doing nothing. Become crystal clear about what you want to create in life and then get to work on it. << this is how you feel empowered and worthwhile in life. Really contemplate whether the stuff you're doing in university, which is eating up all of your time and attention, is in any way related to what you really want to create in your life. Or are you just being a mindless sheep, following the flock into wage slavery?

You are God. Stop beating around the bush.

@X_X Too much theory, philosophy, belief, and BS. You have no idea what true meaninglessness is. You have some constructed worldview that says one thing, yet the way you live life is completely the opposite of that. If nothing has meaning then why you are you unhappy? You see? You're living in a BS fantasy world of your own construction. To realize that reality is meaningless is a profound, life-transforming epiphany that will take you decades of work to achieve. You haven't actually achieved it. You've merely created a fake front. Which is why you suffer from it. The solution is to stop lying to yourself and to ground yourself in direct experience and your current level of development. Your current level is one in which you operate based on good/bad and meaning. All your fear and suffering coming from the latent meanings you assign to things. Drop you dumb philosophy, open your mind, and start following your heart. True meaninglessness is not what you think it is. It's Love. You're right, the universe doesn't need your help. But it is your playground and an expression of your Love, or lack thereof. You are not here to fix the universe. You are here to discover Love. Helping people is not done out of some dumb notion of objective right or wrong. It's done out of Love. The universe is meaningless so that you have the freedom of choice to imbue it with your own personal meaning and style of love. God is not telling you what to do precisely so that you can decide what is worth doing. And if you decide that the only thing worth doing is pissing your life away, then that's what you've decided.

Hahahahaha... Buddy, you've landing in the wrong forum. I suggest you try joining a Richard Dawkins sub-Reddit where you can circle-jerk about objective reality with your materialist comrades.

Not even close.

The 1st step will be taking 100% responsibility and ownership over the unfolding of your life. If you want a good life, you will have to bite the bullet and built it. No one will build it for you. No one will even tell you to build it, except maybe me

You do realize, right, that all numbers is completely relative? There is no difference between 1 and 2. I dare you to find 1 or 2 in the objective world. Anything you point to and call 1 will also be greater than one. Anything you point to and call greater than 1 will also be 1. Because: one = many But you weren't taught this lesson in math class.

God cannot be anything but whatever it is. Whatever occurs is what God is. God cannot be anything other than Love. It has no free will in this matter. Or, you could say, God has given all of its will to Love. But the human mind does not have enough consciousness and perspective to understand this. The duality of controller vs controlled must collapse.

Now if only someone wanted to live in Michigan. Zing!

You imagined it just now

Do not equate my advice with using a position of power (boss vs employee) to exploit women. My advice is about making yourself a better, stronger man and learning genuine attraction skills. Bar and clubs are places specifically designed by society as sexual playgrounds. You go there to practice. It is like a litterbox for cats. That's what it's there for. Using a litterbox is not the same thing as taking a shit in someone's dinner plate.

The devil does not discriminate. There are she-devils and he-devils, white devils and black devils, fat devils and skinny devils, straight devils and gay devils, liberal devils and conservative devils, rich devils and poor devils. Your mind wants to demonize an entire class of people, it can easily do so with just a bit of selective attention.

There are thousands of such resources. Pay a visit to your local bookstore's self-help aisle.

If you can handle it, then by all means. But I bet you can't handle it. It is like you're asking to ride the meanest, wildest bull in the stockyard who has already gored a hundred others before you came along. Be careful what you ask for, buckaroo.

No, I am pointing out an obvious trap the devil has laid for you. Just because positive and negative are relative does not mean we have to resign ourselves to being devils, or treat devilry as though it were on par with wisdom, selflessness, truth, love, and consciousness. Learn to differentiate bullshit, bias, selfishness, and devilry. A libertarian argument is not one of consciousness or deep intelligence, it is an argument from ignorance and selfishness.

Any psychedelic can mindfuck you. But mushrooms are especially twisted. At high doses of mushrooms you will hallucinate like a motherfucker and get lost down infinite rabbit holes of your mind. A descent into madness. This is not necessarily a good thing for our work. Our work seeks clarity, not insane rabbit holes. An insane rabbit hole can still come with lots of valid insight, but its so chaotic and twisted that you're not going to be able to make much use of it, and it will traumatize you in the process. What we seek are higher states of clarity, not descents into madness.

Of course And also, nothing says you have to love her in a blind and stupid way. You can love people without becoming their doormat. If you grow and mature as a man, you will be wise enough to preempt any kind of exploitation that some women might do to you. It is weak men who get exploited by women.

Even the most toxic ideology like Nazism will have grains of truth to it. That's precisely how the devil uses it to lure you in. Delusion is never 100% falsehood. It's falsehood mixed with just enough truth to make the two indistinguishable in the minds of the selfish and the ignorant.

The only proof for God is you. Since you are it. If you can't see that you are God, nothing in the universe can hep you. Even God cannot help you.

When people start talking negatively about "the greater good", watch out that they aren't merely trying to place the greater good of society with "what's best for me personally". The notion of a greater good can be turned into evil, but so can the notion of "freedom" and only looking out for oneself.
