@danilofaria There are many spiritual truths within religion which may enable them to experience God at times. It's probably a mix of delusion and truth.

It keeps you alert and helps you breathe properly. I tried meditating without any attention to posture and it was definitely harder.

@Travelion Yeah stuff like that. It's true there is a body you are experiencing, but what decided that body is all you are? You imagined yourself only being the body. That's just an assumption you made from the fact that there is a body in your experience, which is the truth, but you used it to delude yourself. The mind loves to make distinctions out of everything because it helps you survive.

Everything is truth, the universe won't lie to you. Something untruthful can't exist, or that would be truth. But, your mind likes to distort truth into delusion, so be wary of that. You just gotta question everything, even the obvious stuff. Then you'll figure out something like time isn't even real.

There are many ways to do this. You could perhaps relate it to another thing you enjoy. You could make a book or video game that teaches spirituality, etc. My brother's boss at work actually teaches spirituality through business, that's how he does it.

@Mystica45 You're mistaking conditional love with unconditional love

You are every player

@Ali T Why are you scared? But, of course you will be scared. Enlightenment kills the ego, and the ego's best defense mechanism is fear. I think everyone's pursuit of enlightenment starts with ego, so that's ok. You gotta start where you're at.

Wow I actually had this happen to me recently, but it happened by accident. It felt like I spawned everything into existence when I woke up.

no

@Inliytened1 haha that's true, I didn't think of it like that

@traveler True, another case of projecting onto reality. A clock is just some device that points to different numbers.

@Inliytened1 It's trippy stuff. But, it also uses these distinctions for it to create a story for itself to exist in reality. For example, you being born as a human being. That's why I still think it's important to consider the idea that people have brains and stuff. If we became advanced enough we could perhaps create a new experience of consciousness out of consciousness, like a sentient robot or something. Of course, in my reality, it's all extrapolation. But that's just this specific reality.

@Javfly33 Your perception of time depends on the fact that your brain chronologically orders all your memories. It's always been now.

@Inliytened1 Yeah, but there are still different experiences, so I'm fine with extrapolating and saying that "others" exist.

@Inliytened1 Yes but that is also true for "others", they're in different dreams so to speak

@Javfly33 You've become too skeptic. Other people still supposedly have brains in their head, so what prevents them from being conscious beings like you? It's not like the laws of reality stop working now that you have realized everything is within awareness. There's an answer other than solipsism.

Here's a thread with this exact question, it may help you

@DaHonorableCourt Well said

Ask yourself, who is responsible for the overall quality of your life?

From the absolute perspective there is only you, because you are one singular consciousness through which finite minds are viewed. Leo always talks in the absolute perspective when it comes to this, so it is very easy to see it as plain solipsism.

There seems to be some sort of mental clarity and energy boost that comes with no fap, but I would agree with the notion that you would be fine just keeping it in moderation. Like anything that stimulates dopamine, it can turn into addiction, so be wary of that. If you want to maximize your pleasure, there is benefit in going without fapping for a long time to reset your dopamine receptors.

@OmniYoga Porn does give value, but that doesn't necessarily mean it's a good or bad thing. Any business is an exchange of values. You pay money and get something back.

@Member But the future is not in your direct experience. And any awareness of particles is not in your direct experience. This is about what exists in your present awareness. When you say you perceive particles, that's not what you're perceiving. That is just what you guess you will perceive if you zoomed into everything and looked for particles. Because you're literally imagining them as a concept right now Agreed Everything shifts according to your awareness of it. If you don't see something, it doesn't exist as a sight anymore.
