@SOUL animals don't suffer in the sense that we do. Their suffering is purely in the moment.

@Ishanga What he is saying is pain induces a negative reaction. A flinch if you will. Do you want to call that suffering or discomfort? Well. To your point..it depends. If such discomfort turns into days, weeks, years..now you have to look at is as suffering.

@Raze one mans opinion. Listen carefully.. the net result ..he says..to my mind...meaning from his POV.

About time!

It will get much better. Guys like Trump don't come around that often. I don't want to compare him to Hitler but in terms of rhetoric he is right there. Most will not stir up this type of radical movement like Trump does. So it will be good when he is gone.

I think it does warrant your time to at least acknowledge from a relative sense that he was a bad guy. Anyway yes they have. But also the West has been mistreated by the Arabs so you can't say it's one sided.

I think you used Hitler in your spirituality videos to talk about Absolute and Relative. But you really should look at him in a relative sense too and analyze him within the relative times he was in. It's only fair especially to the Jews who love you as a philospher but despise you for this neglection. And sure there is Western devilry. But honestly when it comes to Israel they are just sick of being persecuted. It's only a matter of time before they try to establish dominance in the region. And that's only because of that.

Agreed but you'll still come full circle back to who is good. For example, I hope now you at least realize and recognize that Hitler was the devil. You did for Bin Laden.

Ok but I think it's comparing apples to oranges. The whole region is in uproar - far different from 1930s europe. So comparing the two seems silly. I don't think they are bullying but rather just making sure what's there's is there's.

If you're trying to define a set line between good and evil here you aren't going to find it. It's survival, period. Where good comes in is whether or not you move on to kill for no reason but power, greed and delusion. And I don't think they are doing that here.

Israel's agenda isn't world domination. I think we can all agree on that.

No now you should see why they need to defend themselves. The problem with war is at what cost.

Where was the sympathy Oct. 7th? I didn't see any. Maybe I missed it though 😀 All i saw on this forum was hatred for Israel's retaliation. And no not pawns. Pawns are used in Chess as an attack method, in some cases even to gain a Queen. And certainly innocents aren't part of the game. But unfortunately it happens. But it happens on both sides.

In war all humanity is lost.

Maybe. Maybe not.

This was Israel thinking like a terrorist to kill a terrorist. It's genius. Don't listen to the naysayers. While it's not a good look on the outside - it's brilliant. And they don't care what anyone else thinks of them...

I have to admit this isn't a good look for Istael. More fuel for the fire. Jeesh. They're just becoming cutthroat. I guess to catch a serial killer you have to become one. Or get in the mind of one.

It's a metapjysical term to describe the substance of reality. The substance of reality is nothingness. There is nothing outside of your own consciousness. That is what a dream is. But there can be extreme detail and conplexity within the dream. And it is Real. If a dream is reality than reality and a dream mean the same thing. There is nothing outside of it to which to compare real vs unreal.

Exactly. But he also had awakening via psychedelics But if you could ask him if he would trade the same realizations for a kundalini awakening via mediation he would do it in a minute. Borrowed Truth must be paid back.

@Jodistrict Leo is kind of a weird issue. He's not awake by traditional standards. And he is not that famous or really has a goal of money or fame.

Very nice

That's a good way to look at it.

Well..personally i doubt it. Awakened beings aren't typically famous. Most actually stick to themselves and are weird like that and don't go in for business. If they do it's usually after. So it's possible but honestly don't hold your breaths. And honestly it doesn't matter

Possibly. You can also make that argument about OCD and other genetic alterations to natural brain chemistry. What we call imbalances to the brain are actually enhancements in terms of Consciousness and Truth.

Proclaiming i am God to a bunch of dream characters is like the developer of the video game going into his own game and then telling everyone it's a game. For him, it's unnecessary unless he has nothing else to do. For the rest, most will be taking it in as a belief which could have very negative consequences. But not all will do thIs. And for the one who has actually realized it, it is a deep dilemma. Not only because it's could misslead others but also because it does nothing for his own growth. Yet, he must teach on. Because if he can awaken even one person, even within the confines of the dream, then he has managed to break them away from what society has attempted to mold them into - and that is a product of their society.
