Correct, it is. The bigger point I think thats being made here is if humans have some past that gravitate towards polyamory. This would hint as some genetic gravitation towards this method of forming bonds.

Helped me see past the labels of good and evil. As well as solve my internal dilemma with moral relativism in the process. Its helped me connect with my root desires where my sense of morality derived from and surrender reality. The amount of happiness I feel because of that I used to only feel on some kind of drug.

At the end of the day we all do things because we desire to do them. You could call a purpose or goal your desire to get somewhere. There is no reason to do anything, but there is no reason to not do anything.

Interesting way to see it. Given the use of psychedelics in many cultures it seems that nonduality is everywhere just being expressed in different ways, but viewing a nondual perspective from a dual perspective is like looking at one sided glass from the blind side. And so modern society can tend to screw up many interpretations. Given that hermetic philosophy was also around in Greece it would make sense for the Greek Gods to be personification for your usual people to relate to.

Nailed it. You are displaying conditional love. We are talking about true unconditional love here. The fact the universe accepts itself regardless of all the suffering in it just shows its true display of loving unconditionally. No matter what happens the love is ever present. You can become aware of this infinite universal love or be blind to it.

Why do you keep saying this? You're the one coming here for advice. Try engaging in the discussion a little more instead of giving one liner replies then starting new threads over the same issues. We can only give you pointers on how we solved a lot of our issues. Its up to you to see if those work and/or figure out the solution for yourself. You don't have to blindly believe anything that is said here. Go out there and verify it for yourself.

Anything goes there especially /b/ board. Ever heard of rekt threads? Threads all about seeing people get killed in the most brutal way possible.

Just look on 4chan

I've had a few instances where my mind was so silenced it was like all thoughts were muffled, they were there but as whispers.

More like becoming immune to it. Ego death = suicide meditation will only bring you closer to it.

A lot of the problems that occur in an intimate relationship aren't due to inexperience with intimate relationships but problems with your own perception of yourself and others. Intimate relationships can really highlight these problems, but don't seem necessary to acknowledging them.

That is true but as I said Best to avoid reinventing the wheel if you can.

This has been an ancient tradition in many cultures that range to symbolism to explain parts of you to some literal entity that guides you. I started thinking about this because in high school I got the nickname of "The Deer" which has stuck ever since and I made a joke it was my spirit animal. The universe can use many tactics to guide you through life and perhaps manifestation of animal-like entities could be one. Its history in many cultures makes it an interesting one to research.

What is a demon?

Where does that perfectionism come from? What first came to thought is you have some idealized fantasy about how things should be and it becomes a bother when it doesn't match up exactly. This seems to be about control more than anything.

I think you might get a more clear answer if the question was redefined to: "Is it possible to not have thoughts in your direct awareness"

I did not say this! I said "may" follow. Its a risk worth being aware of. My first intimate relationship was a catastrophe because I got into it before I was self developed enough to really handle one like I can now. Learning from the mistakes of others is also a very valuable tool.

I've known quite a few people have success with ecigs despite their "vape lord" meme reputation. Its not "safe" per se but id call it safer than your usual cigs that aren't just pure tobacco. But you can make your own e-juices and taper your nicotine.

Experience does make a great teacher - although the pain and suffering that may follow it won't be easy.

Maybe its worth investigating what real actually means.

What is intelligence for you? After all your "human" intelligence derives from the intelligence of your source in which the source is infinitely more intelligent. Perhaps truth can be expressed by the summation of every single possibility?

I'm not attached to wanting to be something. I realized I am everything. Dissolution of separation into total unity. I said your awareness is limited to a bodily experience. Not that it is in your body. I suppose I should add if you haven't practiced to expand it.

You are creating a separation of me and whats inside of me. That separation does not exist. All is me.

The separation between you and rocks, trees, grass etc is a self created boundary that doesn't exist. These things are a part of the whole that I am. I am you. I am Leo. I am the sky. I am God. Its all one. Just because your awareness is only currently this body does not imply thats all you are. Do the work and you'll become aware of this. Thats an assumption on your part. Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. We've found many creatures long thought to be extinct. Their existence is regardless of your belief. This is why the default position always goes to maybe.

What is change? If everything is fundamentally the same, is it really change? Is it perhaps just our perspective is only seeing one side of the coin and it flips?
