The observer

Keep denying suffering and explaining it away as ego attachment. That doesn't change God. That doesn't make God all loving. It only shows your narcissistic bias.

@Eren Eeager I'm not denying love, but you're denying fear. It's not either or. It's both. The absolute is not love. Love is a half-truth. Love is yin, fear is yang. Or vice-versa. It doesn't matter. ☯️

I hardly practice it anymore. Mostly only if I feel stressed. I learned about it from Leo's video and then read a little online afterwards. My only tip; Don't overthink it. Just do it.

@lmfao It's a life-changing practice. I used to be depressed, neurotic, obsessive, and a few other things. So, It can be a huge turning point. Breathing, in general, is crucial. So, if anything, master that.

lol. I KNOW all you guys need awakening. And it's not only me who disapproves of "absolute love". Ralston does too, and many others. Even though we're very loving people, we still have our priorities right. If something is not true, we will not approve of it. We speak nothing but the truth. I was convinced that love was absolute a few months ago, and I grew past that. So, consider this.

@blowfish You just wanna win. Okay, have it.

@Carl-Richard No? Not clever? It expresses the truth while demonstrating the silliness of the opposite position, by stating the opposite position sarcastically.

@Sockrattes Sure. He's referring to the process of infinite regression. In that context, we could say that God gives birth to itself, because God is all of its forms. The eternal change of forms is God. There's no contradiction.

@Leo Gura Why? Does it trigger your fears?

What does absolute mean in this context? Intense? Real? What? I've experienced both love and fear. Bliss and suffering. When I tasted love, it felt like I've never tasted fear. When I tasted fear, it felt like I've never tasted love. When I experienced bliss, it felt like I've never suffered in my entire life. When I experienced hell, it felt like I've never glimpsed bliss. God is infinitely brutal. No need to deny that. It's just the raw truth. ☯️

@blowfish It's nothing like the Arab Spring. That's for sure. These aren't minorities that are against racism and corruption. A good 70% of the American population would vote against racism and corruption, obviously. And most of them would protest for it. The Arab Spring was something else entirely, at least in my country. Believe it or not.

As is love. The same goes for love. What could an Infinite Consciousness possibly love when it is conscious that it is all things? It is as silly as having sex with your own dick. And to make things easier, fear exists no matter how you rationalise it. But still, God is that which creates hell and suffering.

As I said in the other thread, if love is absolute, then fear is absolute as well. God creates out of fear just as much as it creates out of love. Love, by definition, is a dualistic notion. To love something, you must fear its opposite. And to fear something, you must love its opposite. You can't love everything equally. I could agree with you that love is the substance of reality, but you'd deny fear, and it's as essential as love. Even when you're in an "absolute love" state, you fear losing that state. That's why you're privileging and clinging to it in the first place, because you love it and because you fear fear. You love God but you fear him abandoning you, because God is a state to you. You are clinging to love because you are afraid of losing it.

@Leo Gura Dude, it was a cunning joke. I thought 'LMAO' was enough to make it explicit. @Inliytened1 IT'S A JOKE! A really clever one, in fact.

@blowfish I live in one of those Arab countries. I've lived throughout the entire "Spring". We didn't have problems with the government, at least most of us. We were living happily and in harmony with the government. We were always busy surviving and living a very decent life which now has turned miserable. First thing you need to know about the protests here is that they have never been genuine. A lot of propaganda happened. At first, because no one was protesting, the masterminds were using insidious tactics to retaliate things. For example, normally each Friday, there's a Muslim prayer that must be held in mosques. When people get out of the mosques, they get out all together. 95% Normal civilians, and 5% protesters using the crowd to create an illusion of abundance so that they could publish it online as evidence of genuine protests. They would use many, many tricks to create an illusion of abundance. Even sometimes they would use government-supporting movements (which were much abundant than those against it at first) and edit the videos so that they could make them appear to be against the government, to gain outer support and create inner disturbance. They would commit genocide and accuse the government of committing them, and the government would do the same thing (notice I'm not biased towards the government. The government is corrupt, but the protesters had never been any better). That's not to mention the money that they did offer us to join them. And whoever didn't join was threatened. My family was threatened. I could go on and on, but the bottom line is that I have enough evidence to believe that it's not simply a game of making use of the situation, but rather forcing the situation into existence with all sorts of malicious evil ways. It's a dirty, dirty business.

@Conscious life He means a fixed non-nuanced morality is rather an unconscious way for living life since it goes unquestioned, and obviously not literally "wrong". It's simply one-dimensional.

Nice one!

Creation is another dualistic term projected by the ego-mind. Forms create other forms constantly. Forms give birth to each other all the time. God remains untouched. God is unborn. God was never born. God does not give birth.

Nah. The Arab Spring was run by western agendas for the most part. America is not Arabs. It's rather the mastermind that was behind the Arab Spring. And certainly, America knows better how to contain these things.

The problem lies within the question itself. The question assumes time. So, there has been a time where God wasn't, and at some point, God became. That's a projection of the ego-mind that is used to changing forms and is conditioned to thinking in terms of causality. Form is always changing (relativity). That's the constant (absolute). God does not require a reason. Why would it? You see?

I'm getting strange vibes from the forum. It's like I should stop partaking. When I write a post, I often back off and remove it before I post it. It doesn't feel right to talk. Some things are better left unsaid.

@Nahm ???

No. I meant the monkey-mind that's overlaying perception. It uses the energy as feul to keep itself alive. So, try to exhaust yourself. Follow the energy wherever it leads you. Dance, or exercise, whatever you feel like it. And when you're tired, you should feel clarity. Just lose the thinking, that's all.

@Nahm @Serotoninluv Thanks. I'll try to keep an open mind ??

@Someone here Do you not play video games?
