This is a very arrogant framing. People who go to chruch are often very serious about it and put in a lot of effort in walking a spiritual path. They are basically doing a crude, traditional form of Actualized.org Prayer is a legit spiritual technique. Of course they can feel God. That doesn't mean they are awake or that all of them feel God. Some of them do. Most of them don't. And just because you feel God does not preclude delusion. Even awakening does not preclude delusion. Self-deception and the self-bias and corruptions of the ego-mind are a near-constant driving force. Don't underestimate the power of belief and faith. Billions of people are religious for good reason: it actually improves their lives. Your view of religion is too negative and it's clear you've never hung out with serious religious people or partook in their practices.

@Mystica45 Sounds like you got too much Jed McKenna up your butt. Sad. Your bullshit won't fly here. You have no idea how deep all this goes.

See my videos: What Is Perception? and What Is Truth? and What Is Actuality? I have explained all this in great detail.

The "something" which is precieved is Infinite Absolute Truth and Nothing.

@Mystica45 You ain't awake. When you truly awaken you will realize how profoundly wong you were.

You speak of things you don't understand.

Ahahahahaha....

That precisely what you're now being forced to deal with it. Life is pushing you to learn how to love for real, not the fakery you've been in engaged in up to this point. It would have been hell. - - - - - - - Get excited about learning how to relate and love in a new, conscious way. This is great stuff! Not some chore.

Yeah... devils will exploit such a weakness and drag you down to their level, entangling you in their schemes. To be God-realized requires firmness, principle, and integrity. You can't let some ignorant devil gaslight you into falsehood. You must be strong enough to stand your ground and do what you know is in alignment with Truth, Love, and wisdom. Appeasing devils is not Love or wisdom.

Of course. What other reason would there be? Murder is done purely for practical reasons. Also, murdering people is silly when you realize they are your own self.

I can relate. My first job didn't work out the way I wanted either. It was heartbreaking, but also it presented me with my biggest opportunity for advancing my career. Within a year I quit that job and started my own business. Yes, you sunk a lot of time in this, but now you're getting clear about what you definitely don't want in terms of your career. This clarity is worth the price you paid for it if you use it to realign yourself towards what your heart and soul are truly calling you to do. What is your life purpose? Are you clear? What is your heart set on doing career-wise? If it's psychiatry (let's just assume that for now), then all you need to do to feel better about yourself is to double-down on your vision to become an amazing psychiatrist. How it will happen is largely irrelevant. You must program yourself with the vision that this what you want and you will make it happen. There is no good reason why you cannot become a psychiatrist eventually. It might takes some years, but people become psychiatrists all the time, so can you. It's just a question of clarity, vision, and passion. How badly do you want it? Even if you can't be a psychiatrist right now, it doesn't matter because what matters is your vision. You can spend the next few years just building up the vision and training yourself such that you become so good as a candidate that people won't be able to ignore you. Stop waiting for someone to make you a psychiatrist. If it is your vision, you already ARE a psychiatrist -- it's just not been made official yet. From today on start acting as if you were a real psychiatrist. Go above and beyond what a normal psychiatrist does. Do whatever you must to make yourself exceptional in this field. Do the research, read the books, attend seminars and workshops, read journals, make psychiatrist friends, do free psychiatry on your friends and family for practice, act like psychiatrist in your dreams and visualizations, go to a hypnotist and ask him to program you that you are a successful psychiatrist, etc. This is not an external world career problem. This is a vision and self-confidence problem. It's a lack of passion and commitment problem. You are unclear and doubting yourself. Are you gonna let some fucking bureaucracy tell you who you can be?

I'm competent at it, but it's not my strength and I do it less and less these days for that reason. I wasted a lot of time coding stuff I should have just outsourced.

I found this video insightful:

Learn to say No to devilish machinations.

You'll be back. There's nowhere to go and you love yourself too much to keep it all to yourself

There's been some constroversy around his work and I think this video does a good job of clearing up some of the negative rumors.

The highest Love is realizing there is literally no difference between good and bad. Obviously it does, since murder occurs and God creates it, and God is Infinite Love. That's the kicker! True Love means you don't see a difference betweem more or less love. LOVE is absolute. True Love embraces evil so deeply that evil is litterally converted into Love, leaving behind less than nothing. That is the very essence of love: the total embrace of EVERYTHING! Love is a Perfection without an opposite. It is ONE. Evil, badness, or negativity requires two, which is falsehood because Infinity is ONE. Truth = ONE = Love = God = YOU = Infinity = Nothing = Death That's all there is to reality. That is Total Awakening. When you get this, you've completed life.

It would melt through the floor of your house

When I went skydiving I had to sign a waiver that if my parachute fails none of my relatives are allowed to sue the skydiving company or instructors. That was a sobering document to sign, Lol. When I pulled that cord, I prayed to God that it would open. And I didn't believe in God back then, Lol. Some of life's most epic experiences are inherently risky.

No you aren't. You don't realize how deep this goes yet. There is no direct experience of others. That's your mistake. You are looking for what you think is true, not what is actaul. Drop you ideas of awakening/truth. Look at what is actual.

Try flipping through a book of Escher's prints while tripping

If this was true I'd be a lot richer than I am

You can envision infinity in an infinite number of different finite ways. Like a snake eating its tail. Or a pasta shaped like a mobius strip. Or a chair sitting on itself. Or two mirrors facing each other. Or a computer stuck in an endless for loop. Or an endless humam centipede. Or a fractal. Or an endless string of numbers. Or an Escher painting.

@JessiChell Take it easy. This forum has an Ignore fucntion in the Setting panel. You can block individual users who you don't want to listen to. I have told @remember not to provoke this thread any more.
