@Meta-Man I would dispute that he has done the work. He's toyed around with stuff. He has not yet started on the path towards awakening. It's just not something he's interested in. So of course it's no surprise he's not awake. He's a fucking comedian. Let's be real here. We should not hold Joe up to the same standard as a Buddha.

Well, first of all, it is not I who deny this, it is science. Quantum mechanics throws the classic notion of a deterministic physical universe under the bus. Secondly, the term determinism comes with a lot of bad materialistic metaphysical baggage which is better thrown in the trash. Calling reality deterministic is just not right. It doesn't fit that category well. I would just drop it in favor of better descriptions. Rather than calling it deterministic, call it Infinite Consciousness. That's much more accurate. This gives an air of mystery to it, which is precisely correct. Now you must experience what Infinite Consciousness is by some awakening experiences.

The dreamer is the dream. Furthermore, there isn't even a dream.

@Mert If you want to understand reality at a deep level -- at the ultimate level -- then what you have to do is realize that the relative level/domain is entirely illusory, and let the whole thing go. You are still trying to drag God down into the mud, to your relative level, but God cannot be understood that way. You must empty your cup and rise to God's level. This means surrendering the relative -- at least for a while. The question of whether other minds exists cannot be properly answered at the relative level. At the absolute level you will realize that other minds are your mind. To realize what another is requires a specific awakening experience.

He has not done serious meditation or yoga. Toying around with such practices should not be called meditation or yoga at all. These words have been diluted far too much in the West.

We can in this case of confirmation bias. God is a tautology, so it cannot be anything other than what it is. And God is all there is. BUT! God's Will generates everything, so calling this determinism is incorrect. Determinism is a materialistic notion which does not even come close to understanding how and why reality unfolds as it does. Reality is an act of Will. God's Will for Love. The ego's will for survival. Etc. The ego's will is a splinter off God's Will. If the ego fully surrenders, then it moves in line with God's Will. God is a tautology not by accident, but because God wills itself to be Love. God IS Love and it cannot be anything else because an Infinite Intellect will always choose Perfection over anything else. There cannot be anything else! Non-perfection doesn't exist! The duality between determinism and free will must of course collapse. Depends on how deeply you want to understand. All explanations are partial and limited. To really understand you have to recognize the magic of Infinity. This is beyond conventional explanation. Of course you can still use conventional explanations like science, but they will always be incomplete and partial.

Synchronicity is not confirmation bias or some such thing. With a true synchronicity your mind recognizes the Intelligence of the Design. This is not a psychological phenomenon but a spiritual one. It's like noticing God winking at you everywhere you look.

@LaucherJunge Please, inform us simpletons. Who is the emperor of TV?

There's no way she is actually thinking up those answers spontaneously and originally. She's got to be pulling those lines from a database that some human wrote. She probably just has a massive database of thousands of responses. Or she could even be googling keywords on the fly.

Infinite Consciousness What you see is exactly HOW it is happening. Reality is 100% direct. You cannot understand it as a process or a causal chain because it is 100% direct. Being IS the process. Since God is unlimited and creation costs God nothing, God can do without any process. Think about it, why would an unlimited power need a process? It can just directly manifest precisely whatever it wanted to. A process would imply that God has to follow some rules or limits, but God invented all the rules and limits, so it is not bound by them. Everything you see is the process unfolding. Nothing is hidden. Nothing is happening behind the scenes. This. Is. It.

Shall I also fly over to your house and regurgitate food straight into your mouth?

The more conscious you become the more you notice the Intelligence and Perfection of God's design.

@Abc109 Conspiracy theories about Bill Gates and Covid-19 are against Forum Guidelines. Be careful what gossip you spread.

The system IS the people. The people ARE the system.

It will take you many mystical experiences to realize your whole life was imaginary. How deeply do you dare to realize it?

Closedmindedness

Quiet! Just do a larger dose. Stop thinking about death. It doesn't exist.

@Mert You are God, dreaming a dream within a dream.

@Nak Khid Dude, stop spreading ignorance here. As if you understand what God is.

All things are good.

We are suffering from two viruses in this country: Covid and libertarianism.

@charles1 That's literally an example of fiction.

I was not talking about struggle with sex. I was talking about who has a higher desire to have sex on the drop of a dime. And that's men. It's not in a woman's survival interest to be constantly horny on the drop of dime. She doesn't have that luxury. Her horniness is selective whereas a man's is not.
