There may be such a thing, but if such a thing does exist it would be a relative mechanic in this world and not an absolute feature of reality So, it wouldn't have to necessarily apply to some other reality. Maybe another universe exists where there is no such thing as "old souls" or past lives or whatever, assuming it exists in this one But for your main question, I don't think you would keep a limited form of consciousness eternally, because that is eternal ignorance and suffering Perhaps for a while you would retain certain information from past lives in your consciousness/soul, but I don't know if such a mechanism actually exists

Reality will not lie to you Truth = exactly what exists. Something cannot exist if it is a lie, otherwise it's not a lie and it is real. If someone tells you Santa Clause exists, what is true is that someone told you Santa Clause exists, not that you actually witnessed Santa Clause existing in your direct experience. It is possible to witness Truth and turn it into delusion though, see the Santa Clause example above. You might have actually believed Santa to exist because someone told you so, even though it was never in your direct experience. Then, what is real is your delusion about Santa Clause. Yeah basically. Leo also has videos on Truth you can watch

Yeah I've seen videos of some seriously incompetent police, they unnecessarily escalate the situation and end up shooting people because of it. They need more people skills. I don't understand how some of them end up becoming officers

Police Activity is a really good channel to see what its like from the cop's perspective (Not for the faint of heart, obviously) Look at how fast this situation turns deadly In this video you can see how hard it can be to decide when it is acceptable to use deadly force. I honestly think she should have shot earlier, the guy was WAY to close, you'd be surprised at how fast people can cover distance.

Beauty, at its core, is appreciation and love towards aspects of reality. Things you don't find beautiful threaten your survival and identity.

Yeah it is pretty hard to decode certain parts of religion. But also religion is sort of trivia, it's not necessary for learning spirituality. It's a finger that points to the moon, and not a very good one after all the years of manipulation and devilry involved with it. I would really like a video on religions though, would be cool.

@kagaria Yeah, give a child a wooden doll and he'll play with it for hours without getting bored

My signature "If you showed a caveman our technology, he would think it was magic. And if you showed a modern man magic, he would think it was technology." Everything is magic, basically. It's an interesting way of displaying Arthur C. Clarke's quote: "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic."

Rules from the Core Principles 53 - Satisfy your base needs so that you stop craving. Water, food, money, sex, etc. 54 - Master your basic survival and livelihood. Basic survival needs to be mastered first, because how are you gonna self-actualize if you're homeless? You gotta get your foundation built before moving onto the big stuff. Easier said than done though, I'm in the same position as you at 17 years old and I'm trying to find ways to make money right now.

Very well explained, I think There is an equivalent exchange happening here. You can skip years of other spiritual techniques and take psychedelics, which will instantly force upon you years of spiritual work. But, it is possible that your ego will not be able to integrate it because no ego work is required to take a dose of psychedelics.

Self-esteem is just another way of saying self-respect You will actually have more self-respect the more selfless you become (counter-intuitively), because by becoming less identified with ego you will broaden your sense of worth beyond the confines of the ego Self-esteem = confidence in one's own worth or abilities; self-respect. (No need to glorify a false identity to achieve this) Self-esteem != Bragging about your money to everyone. If you truly had self-esteem, there would be no need for bragging in the first place. This is actually just the ego trying to survive through validation from others, whereas true self-esteem means getting validation from yourself rather than from others. Also, notice how in this situation your entire self-worth depends on validation from others through having money, this is how the ego jeopardizes and limits your self-esteem. The real disrespect is confining your self-worth to a limited egoic construct

Minecraft

The entire game of the ego is survival, so yes keeping itself immortal. But immortality is a game it will always lose, the ego will either evolve or perish at some point. Also, it does not have to be literal physical immortality. It only wants itself, as a virtual identity, to be immortal. Maybe that does not involve the actual physical body, but physical immortality may be a popular goal for the ego as it fits in with the self-preservation agenda. Bottom line, ego loves to be attached and prevent impermanence so that it can preserve itself. But, the thing that it wants to preserve does not have to be the physical body.

Hell is the suffering caused by egoic behaviour

There also exist people who cant imagine any images in their head

Perhaps the situation in Japan is similar to the one in Korea, LOL

@Moon Hahahaha I thought of that video too

@iceprincess You could download a filter. Windows 10 even has one built into it. But, if you have no control over downloading it and you have to look at a blue light screen for a while I guess glasses are viable

You can just download blue-light filters, glasses seem overkill to me Blue light isn't all bad anyways, you need it during daytime to help your body recognize that it's not time to sleep and it regulates your mood

Yes. The entire point is to make you addicted, that's how they make the most money

"corrupt china joe" lmao trump with the nicknames

@AlterEgo Yeah CNN really plays it up lol They took COVID footage from Italy's hospitals and said it was from New York
