Alien reads this and be like: "Hold my beer."

@dimitri It's even trickier than you imagine. Non-existence isn't real, it is imaginary! There is only existence. Existence is an Absolute and has no opposite. A non-existent object is actually an existent object in your imagination. But you are misunderstanding that object's true nature. You take it as really non-existent when it is actually existent as a thought. Your mind confuses thoughts and objects. For example, you confuse thoughts of your mother for your mother. The kicker is, if you didn't create this confusion you couldn't have a mother. Since a mother is a thought, not an object. So how are you gonna escape this confusion? Escaping it would mean the collapse of your entire reality. Can you stomach that?

Maybe it's cause men are behaving like juvenile Red Pill assholes?

We have had decades of inaction. Sanders is just the kick in the ass we need. Of course he won't be able to pass everything he wants. But he will lead a movement that will shift the overtone window seriously left, which is what we have been lacking for 50 years. Sanders could be the next FDR. If only he was younger. Working class people, even Republicans will like Bernie as he pushes against elites. The ones who hate Bernie are mostly elites. A working class person is not going to hate Bernie. FDR was the most popular president of all time. But the elites hated him. I predict a similar sitation if Bernie wins. Of course hardcore conservatives will demonize him. But they demonized Obama, so there is no pleasing them. Fox News will demonize no matter who the Democratic president is.

@Joker_Theory Do you really understand? Doesn't sound like it. Sounds like you are parroting words you heard.

It's very simple: is your birth happening right now? No? Then you are imagining it. If you object, "Yeah, but at one time it really was happening", just notice that you are imagining that too. You cannot ever escape imagination. If a thing is not being imagined right now, it doesn't exist. It's very simple. You just don't want to accept it because you want things to be "real".

Everything is imaginary, including brains, atoms, planets, science, logic, and your life. Brains seem to exist from your POV because that is what you're stuck imagining without being aware that you are imagining it. Consciousness imagines a brain. Your entire paradigm is backwards.

You don't need to zoom into it. It is already nothing as it is. Form is nothing. Don't go hunting for nothing. Nothing is everywhere. You are like a fish hunting for water. BTW, space is not nothing, it is something. But since something is ultimately nothing, space is also nothing.

How anything?

Sanders is the more progressive candidate with the most serious proposals that challenge the status quo.

Is anyone really confused that religion and spirituality are closely related topics? A bigger problem is how seldom people see the similarity between religion and science.

This was addressed in my videos: Spiral Dynamics - Important Nuances Spiral Dynamics - Areas of Application

@andyjohnsonman You're not quite appreciating how the English language works. We have many words for everything, and each one has slight nuances. Nuance is important. To call Actualized.org religion would be inappropriate. To call it spirituality is more appropriate, although limited.

Online dating requires above average looks, REALLY good professional profile photos (no selfies), and massive volume. Online dating requires serious work. You don't just put up a profile and start getting dates. You gotta game it more than real life. Online girls are screening you almost entirely on looks because they have nothing else to go by. Your personality has no chance to charm them. In real life you can hit much higher outside your league with charm and boldness. This cannot be done online. The girl has to decide whether she will sleep with you purely based on your profile photo in 1 second. If you're turning online because you're too lazy to do it in real life, chances are your results will be bad. Laziness is not a viable strategy for finding attractive females. If you have a classically handsome appearance, you can do well online. If not...

Lol

The thing is, there's much more to reforming government than a single proposal like UBI. UBI vs jobs guarantee is like 7th on the list of important issues. Be careful about turning into a single-issue voter. A politician must considered holistically, not on the basis of one cool proposal.

Orange moving towards Greene.

Religion is just spirituality turned into unquestioned ideology. But that doesn't mean spirituality is free of dogma or ideology. Just that religion is much, much worse. Religion is what you call it when spirituality has turned into a cancer of the mind. Corruption is like water, it seeps into every crack.

It works like a TV screen. The TV screen is not Mario and it is Mario. If Mario dies, the TV screen is untouched. Your human form is like Mario. Your God-Self is the TV screen.

User @daramantus has been banned for spreading ideology, spreading misinformation, and clearly not being here to learn with an open mind. People who clearly speak of things they have no understanding of as if they do, will be banned from this forum. So just keep that in mind. This is not a place where ignorant opinions can be aired with impunity. If you're going to speak about infinity or God, first understand what you are talking about. It's very clear when someone speaks of these things without any direct experience of them.

It's consistent for the same reason a novelist or screenwriter strives to make his writing consistent -- so that you think it is real. That's how illusions are made.

What you're noticing with your line of questioning is the collapse of the selfish/selfless duality. You should expect all such dualities to breakdown at the edges when you question them deeply enough. God is the Absolute Unity for all dualities. You cannot say that God is X because God is also not X, both, and neither. Absolute Infinity is unqualifiable. Anything you say about it is always finite, partial, limited, and in a sense, misleading. Absolute Infinity cannot be fully explicated in finite form. Infinity is by its very nature implicit. It cannot be fully unfolded (because it goes on forever).

There is software you can install which will block your access to certain websites you select, like YouTube or whatever. You can even set a schedule in this software so that you can access YouTube after work, or on the weekends but not during weekdays. This kind of thing can help give your life some structure if you are unable to discipline yourself.

I don't even know if that's true. How many times does an dragonfly sleep? There are currently 925,000 species of insects on the planet, and only 20% of insect species have been identified. So be careful with your assumptions. The Earth is an alien place with many aliens living under every rock.

Yes, but the difference is that Sanders is genuinely concerned about little people. Trump is not. Trump is obsessed with materialism and wealth and fame. So he's just an oligarch in populist clothing. It's not enough to speak populism. You have to walk your talk. You can't be a serious populist if live in a $100 million dollar house and play golf every weekend with millionaires. A real populist would care about the lowest classes of society. Trump is the opposite of that. He only uses populist language when it suits his rise to the top. This is a classic tactic. It's called demagogery. Nazis, fascists, and Communists were masters at this. P.S. Funny enough, Bill Gates lives in a $100 million house, yet he still cares about helping poor people. So it's complicated. It is possible to be rich and still care a lot about little people. But it tends to be rare. And Trump certainly isn't that way. What really matters is not your wealth but your level of consciousness and compassion for others. It's no accident that wealthy people often lack compassion because they needed to be ruthless to earn their wealth in the first place. It's very hard to earn a billion dollars without being ruthlessly exploitative.
