Name your favorite truths which are so obvious, but while living unconsciously we either block them out or paradoxically realize and don't realize them at the same time. My entry was the one discussed in another post how we as a species both intrinsically know that we are part of nature, and paradoxically forget that we are when drawing distinctions between ourselves and nature. Such as saying "I'm going out to be in nature." or that "nature is perfect, and mankind is not". I think another hilarious 'hidden' truth is if you grow up praying to a god, and you discover you have always and can only pray. Not even to yourself because the prayer would be yourself. It's just prayer. But it seems to have some effect, as many have testified. ?

Yes these are unhealthy from an ego perspective and completely valid. However, if any of these happen it happened completely naturally and would have never been any other way. Most humans will have a disdain for these unhealthy progressions if they are unable to see the larger picture

Oops, but updated original post. *nevermind can't update original post (this rule sucks) But wanted to mention that my second example in the original post is a bit misleading because I wanted to stick to obvious truths that anyone should know.

Haha I kinda knew what you meant but I wanted to say what I did because its the most basic thing for anyone to comprehend and understand for this topic. Besides it fits more into my intent of this thread because its a "hidden" truth that we unconsciously ignore, even though any human at any level of consciousness could be led to understand this.

True.. Just because the sun sets and the moon rises, then rinse and repeat... We tend to say that experience is broken down between days, weeks, months and years. But a simple shift in perspective is all it takes to see that LIFE is one unending experience. The sun set 'yesterday' and rose 'this morning', but I still had an unending experience in between. Those that have more dream awareness will see this truth easier.

What determines unhealthy?

@RendHeaven @DrewNows @Mikael89 Thank you Lol I thought it would be easy to come up with more, but I guess the problem is these are unconscious truths so I'll have to update as I discover them.

@krockerman why aren't you in paradise now?

@Conrad thank you, what you said resonates.

Haha I swear you are setting me up. But I will try it. Do you mean with trees? ??

Wow I should finally listen to that audio book I bought a long time ago...

@SoonHei @Serotoninluv @Nahm Another interesting side note is the new lion king movie. The entire movie is computer made. Many people are saying that the landscapes are indistinguishable from a nature film. So we now have the technology to build nature in digital form, and have it indistinguishable from 'real nature'. Even the animals look lifelike except for the fact that they are speaking language and acting human - like. By the way, digital information is beginning to sound similar to consciousness...

@Nahm thank you very much. Also, have you experienced communication with a tree before? Does it have any way of expressing through immaterial thoughts like we seem to do? If not, what would you be perceiving? Perhaps it is not the tree answering? What should I do for such an experiment?

Yes another contemplation during my walk is how sharing truth is fundamentally tied to human nature, and as the need for new ways of sharing truth evolved, so did the evolution of technology. And many humans who had a role in evolving technology had no clue of the big picture, which is the evolution of sharing truth. One example is this forum. Language, computers, and internet all had to be invented to have this superhighway of information called 'actualized.org'. It's really amazing, and we should be honored to be a part of it.

Haha I was totally in nature when i channeled this. But yes perhaps next walk 'in nature' I'll contemplate how humans can be unnatural as well. I suppose we are talking about how nature springs forth from that which we truly are? Perhaps you could say that human nature is the perfect marriage of that which is natural and un-natural. *edit * I dunno, that doesn't make sense

Do you feel part of a bigger world?

Darn I was hoping this would be a discussion on assisted suicide for cancer patients or heavily disturbed individuals. By your theory these people would be lucky enough to have quicker enlightenment if we supported assisted suicide.

@KurtisLey hi I was raised Baptist too... Feels like I could have written the top part of your post.

It's just too hard to answer. Yes, no, maybe? Maybe they are accessing DNA memory?

The problem with this is that your brain (or whatever) can come up with an elaborate story in a millisecond. Does so several times a night while dreaming. So ultimately there really is no proof. Even direct experience couldn't be trusted.

A few mystical experiences, and then falling into a deep suicidal depression after taking on a business that I knew nothing about. Biggest hurdle is the monkey mind. I've always had obsessive thoughts and not much self discipline. I think this will work itself out naturally, but YES I'm still waiting to get into psychotherapy.

You can't stop religions from forming. It will happen in the natural order of things. Just as resisting the formation of religions. It will all happen naturally, just let it flow as it should.
