Who else can arrest me but me?

Actually it does. If you are conscious enough. Here it is. Right before you.

I told you, ego will never get it. This conversation is useless.

@Javfly33 It takes many tries to learn how to inhale it properly. You have to suck it deep into the lungs until you are ready to cough and it stings like a motherfucker. Changa is also gonna be way weaker. And I don't get visuals at all. It's not about the visuals.

The problem is that this is an insult to gay people.

Shouldn't the bear at least get paid minimum wage? #EndBearSlavery

Co-governing with the devil. What could go wrong?

I know everything I need to know about Michigan from Robocop. Ya'll have some serious problems over there

@Name You are the only being the existence. What you see right now is all that exists.

Why do you insist in reinforcing that dream? The result is precisely whatever you are experiencing. You are imagining my experience in order to reinforce your self of seperation and reality. I am just a projection of your mind.

Most of them attract other toxic men. So that makes them gay? Sounds about right

Don't take it personally. I was speaking of the royal you. As in, all of us.

@Martin123 Thinking is not some simple one-dimensional thing. Thinking and emoting are joined at the hip, feeding one another in strange-loop ways.

@DocWatts Who the hell knows Ohio?

And I never said thinking is necessarily the solution. Watch your strawmans. Although, most of you here would benefit enormously from learning how to think PROPERLY. Proper, high-quality thinking is rarer than hen's teeth. Don't poo-poo it. At least half of your life problems are the result of improper thinking.

@Fran11 Everyone knows consciousness isn't real

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.
