it just means you are Absolute. Another way of saying You are God.

@enchanted summarize please

@MightyMind the tone of this tbread is that Israel - the zionists - set out with an intent to destroy the Palestinians and through deception they made it seem like ...I don't know..they aren't doing anything wrong or that it was the Palestinian's fault. Isn't that deception? To trick someone into believing something that isn't true? That they didn't plan genocide and are carrying out intentional genocide? I have a hard time with this because i do not think they had the same intentions as leaders they have been compared to. With posts like Leo saying that the only difference between them and Hitler is that they tried to hide it equates them with Hitler to begin with. I disagree with the premise that they had a plan and are Intentionally committing genocide. And that they are worse than Hitler for trying to be deceitful about it. To me this just doesn't add up for the points I and others have pointed out. And again I think to your point it's essential to go back and see what lead to what before you can make the accusation of a nation engaging in genocide let alone trying to hide it.

It is. And it would. We should always try to look at things from a big picture perspective as well as the small. Things are happening in such a way. But what led up to this? But then you get into causality and social evolution and it all becomes too grand to look at it in a single thread. I can appreciate that. But does it? How many replies here are there? More than enough to cover a broader perspective.

😀 i hope you eat avocados like I do!

Of course not.

That is exactly what the path to Truth and what Leo's message is here. It's my message as well. That is the only way to Truth. For many of us though this requires serious deconstruction of one's identity- in which their beliefs are a part of. And most people don't want to deconstruct their identity because it's so counter intuitive to the ego. That's why I think genetics play a role Some people just don't hold on that tightly to any belief or worldview. They are like chameleons. Being a chameleon is really what it takes to become enlightened. It kinda means you hold your identity very loosely. And maybe in real life this doesn't really work well for self improvement because the ego is too loose and flexible. But it's perfect for spirituality and meditation. The avocado is ripe so to speak, for awakening. I know, cheesy metaphor haha.

Sometimes when it comes to survival you have to accept that certain atrocities must happen. Because otherwise those same atrocities will happen to you. None of it is pretty. But it's not like they sat down and preplanned a genocide. They were attacked on Oct 7th. If you're saying they were just waiting for this so they could wipe out the Palestinians and are now blocking that out of their minds that's a lot of assumptions.

That's because it was a plan of genocide. As @Revolutionary Think mentioned this is retaliation. When Israel did make concessions all they got were bombs. But this should be no surprise. For thousands of years for some reason their destruction has been sought. I understand that in the Palestinian's case what they want is the land - but trust me they would and have never hesitated via proxies to strike first. Oct 7th ring a bell? They would wipe Jews out of the area given the opportunity - to achieve their goal.. They have already tried. So now that Israel has become the aggressor or what seems to be the aggressor everyone here wants to single them out as evil. Well. I think again this is quite myopic. P.S. fix the database issues on the site.

Let me put this in some kind of context for you. Let us say you have your favorite bar. And you go to this bar twice a week for a year. At least once a week - when choosing a seat at the bar there is always one seat short. But the place is always packed so the seat always ends up being between you and another guy. Every time you exchange eyes with this guy who walks up to the same seat you did he says to you "that's my seat". Or maybe some of the time you say "look dude, I was here first..its my seat". And then you lock eyes but you aren't interested in really fighting for the seat. You aren't ready to throw the first punch. But you also don't wanna relinquish the seat. But in the end, because you're a passive dude by nature,, you do nothing and he inevitably draws back and punches you square in the nose. You recoil away and he takes your seat. You were lucky this time you weren't knocked into a coma or worse. This happens again and again, once a week, for a whole year. So finally you are fed up, and you decide the next time a stranger comes up to the seat, you are going to strike first. Because you're tired of being the guy who got caught looking. Well..that's all this is. So really to look at the current night at the bar is to really have a very myopic viewpoint. There may be a hundred people at the bar screaming how you were the aggressor. But they really don't know how you had been taken advantage of for so many nights prior because they only attended the bar that one night when you decided to strike first.

You can't play that card because if you do we can go back beyond 90 years. If your point is two wrongs don't make a right then please just say it's two wrongs. My point was not just to point out where Israel is wrong but where everyone else is wrong too. The singling out of one people because it's "current events" is very limited in my estimation.

I honestly think it aligns with his Goodness video. He had good intentions he's just blind to his own biases.

It's fine to be bias but at least come out and admit it. But none of the stuff you mentioned has he brung up anywhere in any thread. It seems there is no seeing the Jewish perspective anywhere. Sorry "'zionists" 😞

They have gone too far I've said this before. But remember they were attacked on Oct 7th and they just want their own state and they don't want to be destroyed. I don't think they're acting strictly based on what happened in WW2. As a matter of fact I don't think that at all. They are acting to avoid extinction and can you blame them. It's a far cry from Hittler. Now yes Hitler held a grudge from how Germany was treated in WW1 But last time I checked Netanyahu doesn't consider any people subhuman the way Hitler did. He just wants sovereignty over his own land and state. Do I think he could have done things differently yes. But you're also not in his shoes with Hamas trying to wipe you off the map either. I don't think the US support makes a difference. The US will be an ally regardless unless Istael went crazy globally.

This is because the US is stage Orange. All that matters is money. AlL THAT matters is money. Even for the Presicent of the US. You had a billionaire come in who cares about nothing but his own wealth and power. In his case maybe it's no longer about dollars and cents but it's about power. And wealth is power. So if it gets Americans fat, dead or otherwise- so long as it makes the wealthy wealthier then long live the USA. This is stage orange.

Christianity is a belief as @Leo Gura points out. All religions are beliefs. They do not understand that true spirituality collapses the distinction between subject and object or self and other. They cannot conceive of this. To them, other is God. Jesus is other. Their concept of you being a part of Jesus is just that - concept. You must first grasp the difference between concept and actuality. Something religion doesn't yet understand.

This is just as advanced as bringing in the infinity of Gods into your logical proofs of God. One must first be willing to entertain possibilities other than Christianity. Then one can even begin to inquire into what is reality, what is Truth, and what am I.

That's precisely where it fell off. Up until then I thought it was good and had promise.

There's no character development or depth. The premise started out awesome with the the idea of consciousness being transferred into a new bodies. The first episode was very good and into the second. And the alien on the research ship was cool. But then as it progressed it became like a low budget horror show.

If you havent watched this show watch it. It's truly a masterpiece. I hear they are coming out with a second season almost a decade later. I just watched it for the first time though I had wanted to watch it long before. You will love every minute especially if you are a fan of Tom Hardy and period pieces. The backdrop of 1814 London was excellently depicted with beautiful scenery, great costumes and extraordinary acting by all involved. The suspense and drama is second to none and will keep you hooked through the entire series.

Predator with Arnold (the first one) cannot be matched.

It kinda got bad after the second or third episode imo. Started out with excellent promise.

This is excellent and precisely correct. So we face a dilemma. But to the others point this also means that philosophical discussions are not useless. If we have no way of communicating the Absolute and the only true way is to become the Absolute then this validates Solipsism. But notice that this in itself is a philosophical position. A philosophical position cannot be escaped. And thus should be embraced. Whether or not it can get you to the Absolute is irrelevant. It can only point you to the Absolute..or if it's not aligned, it can point you away. Which worldview you believe should be none. You should heed all worldviews and then discover for yourself what is true via spiritual practice. Now..again this too is a perspective. Take it for it what you will. But the key here is that if you remain open you can attempt to validate any worldview through your own direct experience. After that you can hold the worldview that is true. And whether others believe it should not be the goal of expressing it.

😀 so what do you have to report?

How else should I take anything? I'm a person right? Isn't that the fun of it? Look..you're right sitting around here all day is going to get you absolutely nowhere when it comes to truth. However it will get you much further than a philosophy class in college. Those classes suck. Here you get advanced material from awakened beings. There you get an average professor in a rat race for the highest salary. So there is that. The discussions here are productive- but they won't get you to Absolute Truth. If you want that - again do the practices.
