@Breakingthewalli do love you man. Only here can i literally take a full week off and pick up right where I left off 🙃

Maybe if she had been this wouldn't have happened. I hope you aren't labeling a negative connotation to antidepressants.

It's a thread about Elon Musk being a pompous ass..let's be clear 😀 but I'm glad you added the edit. I mean...the same opportunities are still there regardless of who is calling the shots..at least for now..it's gonna take a special person, sure..to break through. But being ordinary ...well it just leaves you ordinary. Nothing wrong with that either.

Well you sure have it explained well my friend. I'd say that's a philosophy.

But see there is a problem with that because then you have to explain where duality comes from. And where the tree comes from. What is it made of if it's independent of consciousness? If consciousness is a component of the Absolute and not fundamental then what is fundamental to the Absolute? Do you just want to explain this away by saying it's unexplainable? Well if you do that my friend, I might just call out your philosophy as, well..vacant.

Well remember I never said there said there was a you. Remember what I said about self and other. That is a duality that must collapse. There is just the Absolute or Consciousness. So while self is not real or you, nor is other. Thus, when I say "you" are looking at a tree what I really mean is the tree just IS

Exactly. There wasn't a plan here. There was a helpless feeling of suffering and self deception. She stated that she wanted to commit suicide already right? But this was a way of going out that made more of a bang. It was selfishness but also it was lack of love and communication. Had this person received the proper guidance, love, and tutelage then she probably wouldn't have committed suicide in this manner and took others out with her. Suicide happens every day it's just then when they decide to take others with them it becomes a big story.

Ok but if there is no consciousness of the tree then why would the tree need to be there at all? It would be no different than being at zero.

Then the tree doesn't exist when it's zero right? Or does the tree still exist independent of consciousness.

So the universe is conscious of it? But notice that you did include consciousness (the tree itself being infinite consciousness) so that means that you do believe Consciousness is fundamental to existence.

@Leo Gura @Leo Gura Nothing is easy. Everything in life is hard and takes work and endless effort. If you want to achieve anything in life you have to become consumed with it. You created your own presence. And the giant corporations were there. They've been there for a while now if you haven't noticed. But you did it because of dedication. Anyone with that same dedication still has the same opportunity in this country.

Ok so let me ask you this again. If a tree falls in the forest but there is no one conscious of it,, does it make any sound?

@PurpleTree you can decide whether or not you want to suffer from it. Yes.

Whatever you are dreaming is reality. There is no difference. But you see that does make reality a dream. Until you wake up it's real as day.

He is as real as I make him out to be.

Jesus man don't make it sound so glum. I mean, no one is stopping you from creating your own business. If you wanna work for a soulless corporation that's your choice, in the end. Right?

He'll get back to you on that when he gets done with Diablo.

No not typically. I'm dreaming. If I were to go meta while the dream is happening it would interfere with the realness of the dream. But I am still lucid. I only choose to be lucid when I choose to be. Otherwise I lose myself in the dream. Does that make sense?

But he had love so that throws out your theory. So when you get fucked by society what makes you the Joker or the Penguin vs Batman? Batman's parents were killed when he was a child. The bigger question is - is there a difference between them? Batman was a vigilante if you don't recall.

Everyone except the ones whose jobs get taken.

@Loveeee wasn't him it was a different collection of cells 😀

@Aaron p that's correct. You wouldn't be making the post or asking the question. You'll know. A small awakening you could call a glimpse. A very brief mystical experience vs a full awakening which is one that accompanies a direct realization about the nature of reality and typically a massive amount of Divine bliss that will make you roll around on the floor for hours crying. It's basically like seeing the tail of the Ox round a corner vs a full on encounter with the Ox.

Women seem to have an awareness of selfishness more than men. Men have a stronger ego. Women are typically less selfish as a result but that isn't always the case. Men needed to be built with a stronger ego because they were the protectors. .

@PurpleTree but the funny thing is we put this pressure on ourselves. It is the ego mind that applies it's own pressure. It's not external pressures but it is what we ultimately put on our ourselves as a result of what we perceive to be external pressures. They're really internal. We don't have to give in to the external pressures if we don't want to but we tend to dramatize everything as the ego.

@Flowerfaeiry very nice realization. Yes indeed that is it. (The false self) It is an illusion. And this is the catalyst for true enlightenment.
