  1. @JonasVE12 Great insights. Thanks for sharing.
  2. You need to read Thus Spoke Zaratustra.
  3. The great philosophers should be read in chronological order. They build their arguments using previous thoughts.
  4. @electroBeam That makes no sense, Mr. Niels Bohr. I don't have a girlfriend.
  5. There are moments in my baseline awareness when I go beyond logic. But fear arises within me when I encounter a problem, and I know that using logic can't solve the problem. How to solve everyday problems if I fully transcend logic? Logic has been the way of solving problems so far. The scary part is... if I fully transcend logic altogether, I can't use logic to come back to logic. Does any of this sound logical to you? How have you resolved it?
  6. All this sounds very logical. Thanks, guys
  7. Maybe the moment of discovery is the moment of invention. Maybe.
  8. Leo is right. At very high levels, you can't function as a normal human. An extreme meditator can quiet the mind so much, that the mind will be completely empty of thoughts. Now imagine living your daily life without having thoughts? It won't be functional for you since you will forget to put your pants up in the morning.
  9. How many awakenings does it take for One to be awake?
  10. If you had no ego, you will have no form.
  11. Psychedelics work. The only question is what is the right balance between increasing your 'baseline' consciousness, vs 'peak experiences'. The bias of Peter is that he hasn't done too many psychedelics, while the bias of Leo is that he has done too many of them. Finding the right balance is your responsibility.
  12. here.
  13. Seems like you have to contemplate "what is language?" before you contemplate work.
  14. Why don't you try it and tell us? Will an answer be better than your own experience?
  15. Love is acceptance of things as they are. Love is acceptance of yourself as you are. If you can't accept yourself, you seek to be accepted by others.
  16. There are 2 reasons she would do this. 1. She is trying to test your boundaries. If you don't have clear boundaries, and you don't respect them, she would lose respect for you. A girl can't be with a guy she doesn't respect. 2. She is not getting something (attention, feelings, admiration, etc) from you that she needs to get from other guys. Most often girls don't even know what they are missing from their partners, so it is your job to know her better than she knows herself. Find out what she is missing.
  17. Best wishes!

  19. They want that which they don't have.
  20. disconnect from bullshit...
  21. That ending was already taken by Fight Club. Isn't that ironic? @Tyler Durden
  22. What a silly proposition. If that was the case, then you are the One making the course.
