This is precisely incorrect. You should be asking how fucked would we be if he doesn't.. The economy was actually booming right up until Covid hit. He brought energy and passion. He didnt invade Europe. Everyone is so paranoid. But these last four years have been abominable. The economy has gone to hell, inflation as soared (I guess it's good for homeowners) but other than that it's been dog doo. My vote will be for Trump. Don't worry though- he will win in a landslide. And it's not gonna be some crazy fascist crap. It's just that we have had such a horrible time with Biden that we have had so much time to imagine all the horrible things Trump would do to democracy. He won't. You've just seen so much inaction and incompetence that your mind will want to fabricate stories of horror due to lack of anything else going on... and that's precisely what the democrats are doing. Im not saying there aren't a bunch of crazy Trump junkies out there..but let's be honest..the debate should have answered all questions as to who is more capable at making things happen - if you don't want to look at both men's tenures.

@Keryo Koffa nice to have you here and thanks for the appreciation 😀

Lol

That is true but at the same time awakening isn't an experience.. I can't explain it to you with words. It's prior to memory even. It's death and rebirth.

Wait WTF I thought you had mystical experiences and experienced God directly- we had many talks about that back in 2018...did you forget all of that already or was it all BS?

It's just awakening- and yes it's beyond words. You will never be the same again.

@Richard Purdy I have this too..very strange phenomenon.

Just curious but how much of this post was your own writing and how much of it was AI? If it was all you then we'll done, it's a very nuanced response..but seems like a response AI would provide with a touch of your own words thrown in.

Apparently quantum mechanics has taught him nothing 😀

What he is saying is that all the tools in the world won't help if you aren't at a point in your life where the time is right for God to be revealed to you. However I will say that if you are ready for God to be revealed to you then doing the spiritual practices laid out here can certainly trigger an awakening or mystical experience. But it isn't the tools themselves that are really the source behind the awakening. They are merely a means to an end. The source is God because your true nature is God. The tools can help get you in touch with that.

@Sugarcoat it's the other way around. Fear and anxiety which leads to suffering mostly stems from the unknown and uncertainty.

@Someone here I think it just comes with age and experience. And that's good to not chase awakening but maintain the spiritual practices. Because when one awakens, it really is the end of suffering in a broader sense..yeah your bum knee can still annoy you. you still have desires based on survival..to be healthy, happy, etc. But in a bigger sense - you did beat the game. Deep, deep dread is gone...because death is realized to be illusory. So you're still holding onto things but not in the same way anymore. Everything is different now. And you simply enjoy the game.

Dead philosopher infinity 😀

I like to say anything conceptual you hold about God, even the word God..is just that, conceptual. It is not IT.

When you enter Divine Consciousness you really do become formless. The visual field is still there but whether you are still in physical form or not really doesn't matter. It's called ego death because what dies isn't the body because you never were the body. You weren't even a soul. So why do you assume you have to permanently and totally exit the dream to experience death? You don't.

But i think then everything would be too in front of your face that it is an illusion. Things like your own kids would lose some realism. It might cause mental instability. Even though you know its a dream after awakening it still has a measure of "in front of your face" realism..to where you can sort of forget your own realization/lucidity that it is all your own mind.

Actually the answer is quite simple..you do not want to exit the dream. Otherwise you would. You still have attachment to the dream. That's why enlightenment isn't masamadhi. If you could walk through walls every other aspect of the dream would also be meaningless as well...and this cannot be tolerated while the dream still has meaning. So you keep dreaming. Yeah - you keep throwing stuff in to make it seem real..such as pain, and suffering, and health issues, and aging..etc..and walking through walls being impossible.

@Leo Gura is Hashinotos the only health condition you have? My son and mother-in-law both have it and all the women on my ex-wifes side...but all take medication and it seems to be quite manageable. Why is yours so bad apparently?

@stephenkettley not guaranteed but a super good start and could lead to a mystical experiences but don't go in with any expectation Go into it with just an open mind and curiosity

They would have to have no attachments or value anything. The reality is that losing an attachment is going to cause suffering. And you are going to lose an attachment at some point or another. It depends on how lucky you are as how long that takes.

You should not base your existence on whether or not there are other people. This indicates a serious lack of self esteem. You need to be able to be happy even if you were completely alone. This means you find happiness within not eternally. It is very, very vital. Work on that. Just work on being happy regardless of others. Others don't live the life you do, or experience what you do. Others don't have any impact on whether you cut the grass or go to work or not. Others are not in this mix. It is up to you to do those things. At the sane time it is ultimately God's disdain for being alone that leads to the egos disdain for it. It is not something God chose. But God is stuck with it because he is God. So aloneness is one of the biggest issues that God has. And so- he latches on to other people and what others think. It's a lot easier to please others than to actual take the time to love one's self. But then if one does that he has to admit that he's alone. It's a tough pill to swallow but ultimately a necessary one.

Ok..put your hand behind your head and imagine it..then put it in front of you and look at it. That's the difference. Its only the same thing after you have come full circle. And after that you will realize that other states of consciousness are possible.

This is the biggest spiritual trap there is. It's what keeps most people from ever awakening because they believe this is awakening! I have news for you..it ain't 😀

@Osaid it's easier to say - it's just imaginary. Anything not directly experienced is imaginary. The wonderful thing about this is that imagination IS you. So you ARE the rat. You ARE the chimp. Right now! Lesser consciousness is a figment of current consciousness. But current Consciousness can also go much higher. It's not in an Infinite state right now..but if you've awakened you know it's possible. So why wouldn't lesser Consciousness be possible? Why wouldn't experiencing the level of consciousness of an ant not be possible despite being imaginary right now? Why can't imagination become actual? The truth is nothing is preventing it..so Leo is not wrong here if you think it through.

Lolz. It's more just the suffering they have been through. Their leadership at this point has become numb. It's plain to see with Netanyahu. Jews don't label themselves like that. They are very humble at heart.
