What is consciousness: the case for the quantum soul

@pluto that’s fascinating, “oh I’m just gaining a little weight while meditating on a scale...throw me that rock will ya?” I am intrigued by this but I wonder how it would go for someone who’s very physically active also I notice a lot of people require less and less sleep per night as they get older

I was at one yesterday got immediately distracted by lots of birds in the sky then an epic looking sunset, don’t think anyone else could see them ? @NatashaJesus take me back to my childhood thanks, awesome ? @Key Elements ?? @SerpaeTetra he’s an awesome freak of a human, I’m pretty new to his content

You are reality, the matrix is reality, they are one and the same, simply grounded in itself, it is an appearance created by the collective Two points: 1. Watch the video. 2. Don’t do that. (I’m joking ?, have a good day)

And THIS can sure be a bitter pill to swallow

Most of us grow up learning about this illusory matrix but it never feels quite right if you don’t like my matrix you are free to leave @zeroISinfinity yes things happen especially if we just allow them to

A good student will surely put him to the test ?

But what if it was the...

@pluto do you ever sleep for enjoyment? How many hours do you sleep a night, on average?

Second this. @Serotoninluvexcellent man!

They are also known as night sky petunias, as real as flowers can be

Peak experience of rollercoaster ride would be the “big drop” or maybe the “loop” peak perfomance is related to one’s ability so maybe if we try to determine a peak performance for the rollercoaster ride it would be or could be at the time when you ride “no hands” they can be related but I think they are different assessments (enjoyment/excitement vs ability) Maybe you can take this deeper...

@ds300 why do you ‘need’ a relationship? Perhaps a woman will fulfill a ‘need’ you feel you are lacking, what need is this?

Yet here you are opposing

you aren’t who you think you are you aren’t who I think you are you are who you think i think you are

@Conrad let me send you my address so you can send me some of that good stuff

Lovely video @Angelo John Gage and a cool discussion regarding perfectionism A lot of these terms we all throw around on here are ways to describe "direct insight". They cannot simply be spoon fed to people or taken for granted if facing similar situations/problems because they must be relatable to direct experience. So much of our programming (monkey mind, habits/behaviors) operate out of our subconscious and when we do not understand the limitations of thought, it's nearly impossible to become conscious of or recognize our self created limitations, let alone change them. This is where meditation comes in handy because with an increase in awareness and a quieting of the mind, we can start to "see" and "allow" our emotions to flow through rather than turning to thought and looking outward for feedback to validate our perception of reality. With the recognition of our created limitations, we can begin to weed out the unproductive thoughts and replace them with silence or conscious "fun" (self) thoughts
