@Nahm Hmm... good metaphor.

Personally i trust God because of its infinite intelligence and how seamlessly everything works. If Reality was just a random mechanical accident i would not have any trust in life to be honest. What i mean by 'trusting' God is this intuitive knowing that things will always be 'good' in the big picture even if suffer or experience lots of pain. I have been throught a lot but i always see the Wisdom behind everything. How all fits together. This soothes me sometimes when i get scared. I find that people who have faith in the way Reality works have better peace of mind. Some other people don't share the same opinion as me. Any thoughts?

@Runtz Ahahahaha

@sara373 Universe/All Of Reality.

@TheAlchemist You made some good points. My trust in God comes naturally from my direct experience and several trips i've had in the past. Just oberving everyday how my digestion works, how my mind works, how Nature works etc etc i see incredible mind-boggling intelligence everywhere. This intelligence makes me trust God's unfoldment of the Universe. It is like an intuitive knowing that things are always essentially good (in the big picture) even if i experience lots of pain/suffering or get some cancer.

@Anahata Good post!

@Leo Gura I agree. Nicely said!

@Thought Art Yes it is true that God allows all sort of nasty things to happen But still there is a progression, an evolution to how things are unfolding. Slavery is abolished, most of us don't have ruthless monarchs over our heads, we don't slaughter each other like we used. Each generation of people is becoming more and more conscious. It is all heading to Stage Turquiose in the future. This is not an accident i think. Of course we can say that God doesn't give a damn if people are conscious or not but we can make the arguement that we have the best possible Creation created by an infinite intelligence. The best case scenario would be to inhabit a Creation created by an Infinite Intelligence /God.

@OneHandClap If Reality was just some random occurance it would still be Beautiful... but i would not have any trust in it per say. I would be absolutely terrified of what will happen to me when i die.

Why do some people make fun of other people?? This is something i've never understood... Because i don't do it. For example when i was a child i never made fun of other kids. But what i've noticed is that many kids make fun of other kids who are different than they are. Is that because of bad parenting? Or what? Why would a child make fun of someone who is stuttering or someone who is fat?? I really don't get it..

@Leo Gura I don't understand what you mean by saying that there is no difference between anything. Maybe you mean from some absolute perspective. From my direct experience there is a big difference between pain and pleasure and other things. All these differences are very relevant. Even if i don't care about survival, pain and torture is still not fun. Nobody likes it. Not become of selfishness though. But because its unpleasant by default. All these differences are there baked into Reality. So what difference does it make if they are imaginary or not? It makes no difference because they can't be unimagined anyway. Since i have never removed the difference between pain and pleasure i think it does exist.

@Gesundheit2 The difference of pain and pleasure is not only a belief though. It's my everyday direct experience.

I found this guy on YouTube the last couple of days. He has some good advice on business but his opinion about women feels very wrong to me at times.... He must be heavy at stage Orange. From what i understand he got divorced like 7 years ago and that probably wounded his ego. I am more interesting about his business advice so i can be more succesfu. But i am afraid of getting infected with his redpill ideology. Already i feel different after 2 days of watching his videos. He has a big following. Anyone knows this guy? What do you think about his content?

@Harlen Kelly BullSh*t. Maybe you need those rudimentary thinking skills because you are equating jumping off a cliff with something that's not even close. Lol. As i said before. All you are basically saying is ' ''single mothers are not the best options for a long-term relationship or family based on statistics''. Thats all you are saying 2-3 times in a row. Stop projecting that shit onto me dude. You did that shit 2 times already.

@Harlen Kelly As i said before, dating single mothers maybe the best option for some people. Maybe for someone who enjoys being involved with kids. So in this case there are no better options for this person. If you find a woman that clicks for you, you won't be looking for better options. Nor you will care about your redpill ideology at that point. What you are saying is that ''single mothers are not the best options for a long-term relationship or family based on statistics''. That's a valid point also.

@Arcangelo How do you know?

@PlayOnWords The problem with redpill is that all these ''truths'' are getting mixed with egotism, delusion and judgement. This guy exhibits traits of toxic masculinity. He believes top 1% men should cheat their women because they deserve since they worked for it. Lol. Also he doesn't consider women as high value. He considers them only as beautiful. All these things have been a red flag for me. It's extreme machismo with this guy as you said. He is acting out an artificial gender role.

@Harlen Kelly The better option for some men is the single mum. Some men actually enjoy taking care of other's men kids and are not so ego-based like this Enterpreneurs in cars guy.

@PlayOnWords Why you don't like him?

@Preety_India Yes i agree, i found his logic very self-serving and disgusting to be honest.

Even after 4 years of spiritual work i find myself acting and behaving like i have free will. And i think this happens to many other people who pursue spirituality. Even though i have observed that free will is an illusion , still practically i am not to a point that i truly embody it... To some degree i am but still not enough. Despite knowing that Everything is absolutely Inevitable and i am just watching a movie that has already been filmed, i still get mad, feel regrets, put blame on myself and etc. I know that all these feelings of regret and remorse are normal and helpful for survival. But still i am caught up in the illusion. If tomorrow i get cancer for example, it's not like my 1st reaction would be 'Oh great that was inevitable and i can't blame myself'. That would take much more Consciousness to do. I don't believe there are many spiritual people who truly embody that free will is an illusion. Any thoughts?

I don't understand the part where he says that The Infinite cannot know the finite, and that only the finite can know the finite.... Why would that be the case?

I am watching this video below with Daniel Schmachtenberger. At 36:00 he begins talking about Consciousness. At some points he says: What do you guys think about his opinion?

@Mason Riggle There are many more benefits to realizing and embodying that free will is an illusion except from the judgement component. What i've found is that now i am a LOT more liberated and less concerned when i talk to somebody or when i practicing something. I don't try to control anything. I just let things happen without any resistance and this is very freeing and beautiful when you no longer try to have agency over your actions and thoughts. It liberates you from a lot of anxiety and turmoil.

@kinesin Yes..that's a good point! My expectations are not realistic enough maybe.
