Synchronicity

I agree. We need to be looking at the pros and cons of both sides rather than favoring one side’s pros and the other’s cons.

@tatsumaru Difficult as in skill-development. Performing magick is a very difficult skill to learn. For example, I think it’s possible to develop the skill to walk on water (without any technological aid) but such a skill is so difficult that I’m sure almost nobody in human history has ever done it. As such, this difficulty explains the lack of people able to provide evidence for the existence of magick. It would take such magnificent feats as flying or walking on water just to start feeding some solid proof into the scientific community. Yet, as explained, the chances of someone developing to such a point as to be able to perform such feats and provide the proof are very low due to its level of difficulty. However, “very low chance” doesn’t mean impossible. It can still be done in this dimension. So, as for pointing you in the right direction for discovering magick, you have a verrrry long road ahead of you. You need to dig into a ton of self-contemplative work. If you focus on anything else right now (like magick) that’ll ironically make the development of such skills even more difficult than they already are. Take it one step at a time. This stuff is harder than training to be an Olympic athlete

@tatsumaru I completely respect that viewpoint. Many spiritualists attack people like you who want proof for what they say. However, I don’t see anything wrong with wanting proof. Proof is powerful. It’s also possible to provide proof for the existence of magick. The only reason we don’t have an abundance of proof that’s as readily available as mainstream science is because of how difficult it is for us to perform magick in these limited human forms Lol But that’s no excuse on my part. Proof is still possible so there’s no need to stop asking for it

@montecristo There’s a Relativity to it. The past doesn’t exist relative to this moment. However, it does exist in the 4th dimension

I assume you’re looking for a more scientific answer (rather than a “woo woo” one). So I’ll deliver... All past and future moments exist in 4-D space. If you were a 4-D being, you could walk backwards and travel to the past, for example. Walk forward and you would see the future of this universe So basically, for a 4-D being, time travel is space travel. This is because all of Eternity is one instant in the 4th dimension.

@tatsumaru Ohhh Hell yeah. Reality is Absolutely boundless. Anything and everything can and does exist. I’ve also had my own experiences with all the magickal “fictional” stuff you’re referring to. That’s a ton of stuff to talk about in one post though...

@Serotoninluv I see your point now. That’s a peaceful close to this discussion ?

@Serotoninluv That’s what I’ve been pointing out this whole discussion. But you haven’t even considered one way in which Conservatives could be seen as equals

@Serotoninluv So, in your opinion, are liberals objectively higher conscious?

@Serotoninluv Yes that is true that SD is defined that way. Let me rephrase that differently Don’t be so quick to consider self-restraint an objectively lower-conscious quality I’m saying that Conservatives are higher-conscious in other areas that the SD scale doesn’t measure The SD scale isn’t the only way to measure consciousness

@Serotoninluv Consider that self-restraint can be seen as a form of consciousness. It frees one from egotistical needs Don’t be so quick to push it down to stage blue

@Leo Gura But you’ve only studied it from the perspective of relativity. Mental toughness is another way to measure levels of consciousness and Conservatives tend to excel at that more than Liberals Conservatives are usually less reactive when they don’ get what they want. This is demonstration of a more unconditional thought process

Yes, that’s what I’m saying. There’s additional ways to measure consciousness levels

@Leo Gura I’m not saying Conservatives are more advanced at relativity. If you read my previous posts, I say that Liberals are more advanced in that area. I’m saying Conservatives are more advanced in other areas that I’ve listed... And ultimately the strong points can balance out

@Serotoninluv You say that the SD scale is relative (which I agree with) but then you compare the judging criteria to two marathon runners... This makes it sound like you’re trying to say one is objectively lower-conscious than the other though...

@Serotoninluv Yes I agree that Liberals understand Relativism more than Conservatives. However, there’s stuff that Conservatives are more adept at. Most conservatives, at least the ones I’ve seen) are generally more well-mannered. That is, they present their points in a more calm and logical tone Secondly, I’ve seen more conservatives willing to be friends with Liberals than vice versa. That is, they’re more ready to agree to disagree (this is a form of understanding relativity, albeit not as expansive as the Liberals have it) Third example, when Liberals don’t like something (like guns) they tend to want to outlaw them and not let anybody own one. Now I don’t want a gun, but I certainly wouldn’t tell my neighbor what they could or couldn’t own... That’s very selfish and contracted But again, there’s a lot of strong points to the Left. However, you seem unaware of many of the strong points of the Right. I see no larger an amount of strong points on the Left than I do on the right (There’s more than the 3 examples I listed) If you’re trying to convince me to favor the Left over the Right, well then... I’m sorry. Not everyone needs your perspective and you certainly don’t need to agree with mine

@Dylan Page That is my serious answer. God is infinite. Infinity is beginningless. To be beginningless is to be Causeless. To have no cause is to have no reason for doing what you do

@Dylan Page the simple answer is that God just wanted to Lol God does what God desires

If you’re asking about scientific proof, really all society has at the moment is past-life regression hypnosis and incidents of past-life memories. You could try finding a past-life regression hypnotist

@winterknight Unless good and bad are relative ? Lol It can be a bad idea. But it can also be a good idea

That can be the Truth. Truth can be any and/or all of the following ways: 1. The self is not real 2. It is real 3. It is both real and not real 4. It is neither 5. It is both and neither etc. This can continue on infinitely... So @winterknight you’re correct in saying that there is no character. But, depending on the perspective, it can be just as correct to say otherwise. Your perspective doesn’t hold a monopoly over Truth nor does what I’ve said here

I agree. Nonduality vs. Duality is the final Duality to be collapsed

@Preetom Yes very true. It’s more of a broader, integrative step than a foundational one

That’s one method yes. Another method to remember is being fully aware of objects of experience because they’re all pieces of the Self

Very insightful I have another perspective to extend on that. Enlightenment is remaining Aware no matter how high or low the volume of experience is! Then again, you were already kind of hinting at that with your own words
