One of my university professors was a world expert on Descartes. I had to study Descartes in depth. Descartes makes some very subtle arguments.

A chair is also God. But a chair does not know it. Nor does a mule. Nor do 99.9% of humans. Just because something is God doesn't mean it is God-realized.

Cause they clearly has no clue what God is any more than they understand that 1+1=2.

Of course. One's conduct is irrelevant to God-realization. God-realization is a realization, not anything more. Like if a mule realized why water flows downhill.

I'd like to see a video on the toxic world of no self-help.

You are never going to logic your way through this.

Become God-realized and then I won't need to tell you.

This is a common misunderstanding of Descartes. If you actually read and contemplate Descartes Meditations you'll see that the argument is not, "I think, therefore I am". The argument is: if thoughts or any perceptions are arising at all, they must be arising for me. Which means I must exist even if the thoughts and perceptions are a deception. The one thing which cannot be a deception is the I AM. Even if I think I am not, I still AM. Descartes was not saying that thinking causes I AMNESS. He was saying that thinking arises within I AMNESS. There cannot be thoughts without I AMNESS.

That might work. Sounds like a YT video: Live Mule Awakening

Cute, but your logic won't make a mule God-realized. Show me a God-realized mule and I will bow my head to you.

It's just a difference in emphasis and formulation. There is little meaningful difference once you have some awakening.

Descartes was simply pointing out the primacy of I AMNESS. He was right about that, but deluded in other ways. no-self and Self are the same. no-self means Infinite Self

Universal Mechanism of Life & God: 1) Do selfish shit to get happiness 2) Notice how it fails 3) Start doing slightly less selfish shit 4) Notice it works better 5) Repeat a 1000 times 6) Eventually discover that God is infinite selflessness The end

That's right. Takes brainz to realize God. Form needs to be a specific sort to realize not-form. A chair cannot be God-realized. Sorry chairs. You're shit out of luck. By your logic no formed entity can realize God. Now that would be a serious problem.

Of course God is the devil. But that doesn't mean you must continue being a devil.

How do you know anything? So? That doesn't make every moving thing awake. To be conscious that you are God, and to be conscious of what God is. Yes, probably. Although it's a question of degree.

Cats are not God-realized. A cat has no idea what the fuck existence is. Sure, a cat is not lost in monkey mind, but that's not the point.

Now block his number and stop talking to him. Now don't get back together with him, even though you two will both want to. Now give yourself time to rethink your life. Now take time to work on yourself and move on to the next chapter of your life. The pain of loss is an illusion. It will pass within a few weeks. So hang in there.

The difference is, I'm aware that I am Trump. And I'm aware of what devilry drives Trump, and the enormous suffering it will cause. Are you?

Maybe you are just making excuses for staying a devil.

Yes, but the child doesn't know it. Yes and no. The child is not awake. But God doesn't judge unawakened people. It's okay. God is patient. You will get it one day.

Haha! God is everywhere you look. It is life itself! Everyone is free to partake and understand. But you choose not to. Because you are too scared. It's like God gave you an epic Xmas gift but you are to scared to open it. What is God supposed to do? Force you and traumatize you? Then you will hate God for assaulting you. So God patiently waits for you to muster the courage to open the gift. YOU ARE GOD! For fuck's sake!

Death is God. So your question makes no sense.

You will never understand it in your present state. You already are the coffee table. You are anything you see. Otherwise you could not see it. Take a psychedelic and look at a coffee table. You will quickly realize that it is you. It cannot be switched easily. Your mind will stubbornly resist it because your whole life hinges on it. Psychedelics, yoga, self-inquiry, hardcore meditation, concentration, etc. A change in your state of consciousness is required.
