  1. @Inliytened1 For sure, but there is a difference between being purely aware of that state vs. being unaware of that state. The state of non-dual awareness vs. the state of being unaware of its presence. What I suggest is that we "chose" to become unaware for some reason, so maybe being unaware and experiencing the (illusion of) separateness is somehow important and useful.
  2. Maybe that's why we came down here. To experience the polarity, the doubts, the fears and the anxieties but also the happiness the relief and the love. Maybe that's actually a better way of being than a constant state of contentment and joy. Would a constant state of bliss and joy actually be that great? Maybe, but I lean on the side of it not being worth it. Maybe the ups and downs are more engaging and fulfilling than anything that can ever exist. Maybe there is some eternal state of bliss, but honestly that sounds pretty boring to me. There must be a reason why these (illusions of) polarities exist, maybe it's actually superior to experiencing and realizing a constant state of oneness. What if I can love the rollercoaster? What if I can love the downs as much as the ups? The ups and downs and the doubts and the suffering make life intense as fuck and I'm glad to be experiencing it!
  3. The degree to which renewables are a viable choice depends largely on the geographic location and environment. It's not black and white, some areas are going way overboard with the pushing of "green" energy and are counterintuitively causing MORE damage to the environment by doing that. Also some areas are using non-renewable sources when renewable energy could actually be implemented and taken advantage of in quite a short time period.
  4. Committing suicide is one of the most fundamental rights a human being can have. Nobody should be forced to play the game, telling someone that they are not allowed to stop existing is much more selfish than choosing to take your own life.
  5. Nothing and everything CAN exist simultaneously in the space of infinity, that is God. So God created "him"self and is creating all the time
  6. You can't force her to want you, you have done what you think is right and now you can disengage and let her engage you if she does. You can't fight for her to get her, if she wants you she will come to you. And be very careful with thinking a girl is "the one", more often than not it's just coming from a place of neediness and a mindset of scarcity
  7. I am glad you have found a diet that works for you
  8. It's not absolutely bad or good. Some bodies can handle it better than others, for example here in Northern Europe more people have adjusted to drinking milk. I personally still drink it (whole milk) because I haven't noticed any negative effects and there is a good balance of 1/3 fat 1/3 carbohydrates and 1/3 protein in it. Experiment for yourself, don't just blindly believe what you see in some documentary. I have also seen Cowspiracy but I continue to drink milk because the milk industry is not the same here as it is in the U.S. More ethical living conditions and they don't pump the cows with antibiotics etc.
  9. Natural Lifestyles 100%. One of the coaches is Shae Matthews, he has a very deep understanding on spirituality and even references non-duality at times. He has some videos on using psychedelics for self-improvement and he even knows spiral dynamics quite well haha. I think he is the spiritually furthest developed "pick-up" coach in the world.
