  1. @Amanda R Batista Lol, you are speaking about ego as if it's a pet of yours. You don't have ego. YOU are EGO! What you're asking is, should I love myself or hate myself? Either way is fine. Up to you.
  2. @kieranperez Surrender your desire for functioning within society. Surrender everything.
  3. Awaken to Absolute Truth and you will know.
  4. @Enlightenment That is because they have not reached the deepest levels. They have not accessed Absolute Infinity. They do not understand what existence is. It's very hard to reach Absolute Infinity through meditation. Take 5-MeO and you will see.
  5. @Mikael89 Enough of your horseshit. Stop polluting this thread.
  6. @Viking I have good news and bad news. Good news: suffering exists to help teach you your lesson. Bad news: you'll have to suffer to learn your lesson.
  7. Of course is does! Buddhism can get very dogmatic and religious. Which is why we're having this conversation. It's dangerous to assume that Buddhism is somehow pure and immune from dogma or corruption. In fact, I would venture a bet that the majority of Buddhists are dogmatic and corrupt. No one and no thing in this work can be trusted. All authority is delusion. Direct experience is the only source of Truth.
  8. That's overly simplistic and naive. Not all teachings are the same. Not all pointers are the same. Yes, the mind can corrupt even the bestest of teachings, but many teachings are already fundamentally corrupt and dogmatic to begin with, and do not encourage integral thinking. Integral teachings are rare.
  9. @The Don Of course You've been told how many times. You are just not serious about doing the work.
  10. Yes, indeed it is horrifying. Which is why most people avoid it like the plague. Because after enlightenment, you are gone, dead. You surrendered your entire life. It's hard for a dead man to suffer since suffering is the avoidance of death. Once you are infinite, nothing can harm you. The body can die and it does not bother you.
  11. @Barry J Not all teachings are a religion or dogmatic. Some teachings are integral. Buddhism tends to be exclusionary.
  12. @Genghis Khan You got it! But there's more...
  13. There is a lot of wisdom within Buddhism. The problem though is turning it into a dogma or believing it without direct experience. No teacher, no teaching can be trusted in this work. Because you do not know what is true or who is true. You must independently verify every teaching and cross-reference it against other sources. There are also many different kinds of Buddhism, so how do you know which one to follow, which one is true? You don't and can't without independent verification
  14. @kieranperez It's not your shadow. Your heart is just closed and you are stuck in your head.
  15. Post-modernists want to turn our prisons into Ikeas.
  16. Take a pencil in your hand. Look at the pencil. Become conscious the pencil is infinite. Infinity is not "out there", infinity is right here!
  17. Look at the chaos these Neo-Marxists have caused! What monsters! I feel an overwhelming sense of impending doooooom.
  18. I have read it. Just at a high level. My mind grasps things holistically. It does not need to go through logical steps or formal proofs. I had understood the essence of Godel's discovery before I even knew Godel existed. Epistemically, the map can never be the territory. Truth cannot be symbolized. It is really obvious that no formal logical system could ever encapsulate the Truth due to the problem of self-reference. Godel intuited this too. Then he formally proved it. Godel intuited the truth of his proof before he created the proof.
  19. False. Because it is limitless it can have no opposite.
