  1. That's fair. I have nothing against imagination. Ideologically clinging to states which have no imagination is a big trap as well, you see it a lot in spiritual circles.
  2. These mechanics are relative, not absolute. It's just another story to imagine. They don't have any direct metaphysical implications in regards to "god-realization".
  3. I didn't say that person B was wise. My point was that person A should have stopped the conversation because person B is not willing to change their mind. Unless, you meant to say person A is not wise. Which could be valid.
  4. Oh, I get it now. Thanks. IMO, Person B should have ended the conversation after Person A said "you can keep your word salad to yourself. thanks", as per their own advice: "No matter how wise the teacher may be, if the student is not open and willing to be taught, there is no master who can teach him."
  5. What is this post exactly? The title doesn't make sense.
  6. Have you been doing no-fap? Also, what do you mean you "feel like getting away" from orgasm? Is it painful?
  7. That second video is not the best look for Andrew. The woman in the first video came out saying that it was consensual BDSM. Fine, somewhat decent excuse. But then, what's happening in the second one? Almost seems like she's been coerced into some consent contract and is regretting it. Andrew probably sold her on the idea somehow, he's a good salesman after all. I don't think it's illegal though. He wouldn't record it if it wasn't. Probably made them sign a contract or something. But, legality != morality. I think Andrew must have done a bunch of slimy shit with women, different legal loopholes and contracts and stuff. And all of that controversy must have accumulated over time, and now the Romanian authorities are doing another full search on him since it has probably karmically snowballed into many different complaints and transactions from many different people.
  8. Is cessation the same as turiya/pure consciousness?
  9. I didn't say what you imagine is necessarily true, just that you can imagine it is true, and so it becomes true from your perspective. Whenever you believe in something, you recontextualize reality so that it becomes that belief.
  10. There's a difference between science and materialism. You should scientifically prove that you are the body, first. Your initial assumption isn't even based in science, it's just materialism.
  11. Because you can imagine anything to be true. Everyone is busy having fun in their cardboard box.
  12. Wtf lol, what a synchronicity. We really do live in a simulation.
  13. Could go either way. I find it odd the Romanian police were so determined in finding him. They used a video of him eating pizza to track his location.
  14. Key word, investigation. No one really knows why yet.
  15. Wait what, who added section titles in the video scroll bar? And why only this video?
  16. Not good enough. We need to cancel ChatGPT. We have screenshots of its misogyny. Time to head to Twitter. Admittedly, it did improve itself since it answered both the male and female questions in my recent screenshot. But change doesn't matter when you have screenshots of someone's past behavior.
  17. No way lmao I just went and tried this myself, and it keeps giving me random jokes that have nothing to do with men in response to "tell me a joke about men". But, when I ask about women, it says it's inappropriate as shown in your screenshot. I think we finally broke the bot. I just tried asking again but I worded the question a bit differently, and now it's giving me disclaimers telling me to not be offended at its joke. PC culture has traumatized this bot.
  18. The app still works for me. Website doesn't allow me to log in, though.
  19. Yeah, they said it's really uncommon for someone to rob a house that has people. The robber was really dumb and thought it was empty for some reason. Then they went on to break into other houses as well. It was probably a crackhead or something. I would guess because everyone is asleep and there's no activity. Plus, they were referring to crime in general, not just house break-ins. You also gotta remember people who commit crime are not the smartest.
  20. Had my house broken into last October at like 3am. Police came by and said 3am is like the witching hour for crime. They also said it's very uncommon for a house to get robbed while people are inside it. It seems the thief didn't expect for anyone to be in the house, they were very surprised to see me there. Seemed under the influence or something, very confused and uncoordinated. They ran off when they saw me. They took some wallets and stuff. Apparently they broke into 12 other houses the same day. The windows had metal guard railings attached for this exact scenario, but apparently they were loose and it got kicked down pretty easily. The police only give back to you what they found, otherwise you're out of luck in retrieving anything else you lost.
  21. I had a dream where I developed an entire crush on a dream character and then felt lovesick after waking up, and this happened a few times. I also had a dream where I was being tortured and I could feel the pain. The pain felt more "dull" than pain in real life. But I could still feel it, I was lucid too. But I couldn't control the dream despite being lucid. So that was odd in hindsight. So yeah, dreams are wild.
  22. It's very easy to criticize survival from thousands of years in the future, when things are much more developed. Surviving in a beige - red society is an entirely different ball game than surviving in a red - green society. Even the most conscious people have a physical body maintain, and a physical body is a distinct form, and so that distinct form must take priority over other distinct forms in order to continue existing as a distinct form. Now, imagine if the society you live in and all of its people are stage beige - red, and you must figure out how to survive within that environment. The tactics you use today are not gonna work back then. This is the existential survival bind we are put in. Over the years, it's become easier to survive selflessly thanks to evolutionary advancements. But, of course, survival still happens to a certain degree. Our version of this today might be factory workers laboring away in order to make our phones. Or, the destructions of trees for our homes. Or, the slaughtering of animals for nutrients. These are the modern versions of "low development" survival activities which are hard to escape from. Of course these survival strategies will look much different in a thousand-year-old society where phones did not even exist. Anyways, this is all mostly a distraction anyways. Sort the wheat from the chaff.
  23. I think snakes can be cute. But no, I wouldn't, since I'm a heterosexual male.
