What i've come to realize so far is that Sam Harris, hate, love, judgement etc are all parts of God's mind. They only exist because its the content of God's mind. It has more to do with what this mind imagines rather than infinity i believe. Therefore God loves to judge , love to rape , love all these dreams and nigthmares. This reality we experience reveals the mind of God. It is an infinitely intelligent mind which loves drama.

@mysticalninja Yes the situation is really really bad. I remember meeting a 12 year old boy few years ago. And he was watching on the phone another scumbag-rapper who was taking drugs, making tons of money and fucking prostitutes. Lol. That's what many kids get brainwashed with in this modern age. I hope in the future more people will want to be monks , philosophers, gurus and scientists. I really hate this materialistic culture of wealthy idiots who have no idea how much suffering they are causing to the bottom of the pyramid. I believe that if i was to give some of these fools a strong psychedelic and make them introspect with a visualization exercise on the damage they are causing to others, they would be puking for hours. They would feel sick with themselves. Most of them just need a rude awakening because they live in a fantasy land. Unfortunately most of them take cocaine, steroids and pills. Not psychedelics. And they never introspect. The only thing they introspect about is how to make more money.

The benefits are that you have the chance to understand better what you're dealing with. But the drawback is that you can get stuck on these artificial labels. I know many people who suffer from OCD and they believe it is chronic & that they are doomed. This is not true at all. It's a dogma that many people hold. Hasn't been proven. And there are tons of people who have recovered from OCD and other mental illnesses. Sometimes It's helpful to see mental illnesses as something you do. And not something you have. Many times poor mental health habits lead to mental illnesses like anxiety disorders and etc. I don't have experience with other diagnoses such as bipolar or schizophrenia which are more serious. Mental illnesses are very misunderstood. There is still very little knowledge about all these illnesses. It's shocking how little we know.

When your life is shitty and you have tons of problems it is easy to want to avoid all of that shit. I can relate. My life is far from perfect and i face many challenges. Life is not easy for the majority of people. That's the bottom line. But i am always positive and hopeful that things can get better. Focus on creating a better life. As your life becomes richer you'll want to avoid it less and less. It's not a quick fix solution. I can totally relate with this issue. This is why sleep is my favorite thing ever. I fucking love sleep. Its the best escape for me.

@Leo Gura We have to play this social game. I understand. If you are too authentic and real it is dangerous.

@Leo Gura Yes but why are you letting this fear get in the way??

@Leo Gura The sad thing is that kids grow up with idiots like stevewilldoit and a bunch of other fools as idols. They really believe that this is what life is really about. The situation is really bad. I think Stage Orange is reaching its limits. Money has became God nowadays.

This is really worth to watch.

From the things i know, the brain produces dopamine when we engage in things that are good for survival. Dopamine helps us remember also. If i have sex, more dopamine will be produced than eating food. If i am eating an ice-cream more dopamine will be produced than eating celery because ice-cream has more calories and is better for survival in that sense. But this mechanism has tons of weaknesses. It was a good mechanism 10.000 years ago but now it has been hacked. If i were to smoke crystal meth (i haven't) my brain would think that crystal meth is more important than sex and food for survival. Because it produces 1000% more dopamine than sex. It is like the brain is dumb. And gets tricked. It only understands dopamine and other chemicals. Clearly meth is not gonna help you survive better. Yet our brain have been fooled it will. If anyone is more knowledgable about this topic i would like to learn more. This has puzzled me for years. It's a very disturbing thing that our brain work this way. I guess all systems have their limitations and weaknesses...... Nothing is perfect. This mechanism, this loop ruins millions of lives every year. It's so powerful that is frightening...... It is so powerful that it's not even funny.

@Visionary This doesn't make sense. Either you are God , or not. And since everything is God then i am God. Because i am everything.

I think the solution to suffering is to stop wanting a solution for suffering.

@Raptorsin7 It is pure perfection. Pure God.

I like your question.

I've heard people talk about the law of polarity, and that basically every drug you take will have some negative effects on you. Is that true? Do all drugs need to work this way? If yes , then why? I am doubtful. I think it is possible that there are drugs which do not have any negative effect. What do you think?

No, don't stop meditating. Think about What do you wanna be teaching your brain? You want to teach it to continue meditating or doing whatever else you care about while feeling anxiety and other feelings. Do not stop what you are doing just because you feel terrible. This will teach your brain a bad habit. I can relate with the anxiety. Sometimes i get bombarded with painful painful feelings that are very distressing. But i do not allow them to rule my life. Your goal is to build very good mental fitness. Keep that in mind. You are training your mind to push through difficult emotions and etc while at the same time doing what you care about.

@Tim R But if non-duality is true then i was that guy in that gore video and i personally lived through that horrendous experience..... This is terrifying...................therefore it's not all good.

@Tim R ahahaha we are so doomed...

@Tim R I don't want to be that guy in the funkytown gore video or any other gore video for that matter. I don't want that level of pain in my awareness.

@Tim R There is noone to suffer and there was never someone. I Agree. But the excruciating staggering pain remains.....

Nice post.

@Tim R Excruciating pain is inherently bad in the sense that we don't like it. If i were to torture 100 people, all 100 would find it a terrible traumatic experience. Yes that can happen. I've seen people who were in much pain when they were being chopped off by some Mexican cartel who didn't make a lot of noises. You can tell when someone has accepted it or not. Emotional suffering is a lot different than physical pain. It is true that you can learn to accept horrendous situations like a concentration camp. But i doubt you can accept some types of excruciating pain that is just too much.... Even if you surrender to it, i think you will still suffer a lot. You will wish that you were never even born. Just imagining this level of brutality and pain makes me terrified.

@Leo Gura I don't buy this... The difference in sensation would remain because the sensation of pain is not caused by selfishness. Maybe it would make no difference for your survival if you were not selfish. But that's something else. The sensation is caused by a knife slowly cutting your fingers.

@Tim R The problem is that you don't have a choice or any power to enjoy torture or not. You are programmed by God to fear this stuff. We have no choice other than to be terrified about excuciating pain. That is the problem. Maybe God doesn't care. But we certainly do.

@Jakuchu I don't think pain & pleasure is a matter of preference. It's more like something biological. If i torture you, you don't like it no matter how selfless you are or what preferences you have.

@Leo Gura I don't see how selfishness affects the difference between torture and an ice-cream. Even if i was completely selfless, the sensations would not change.
