  1. Without a mind, there are no ideas. It's a feature; nothing to be ashamed of. Love is an idea.
  2. Stop freaking out. The cop will be trialed and punished, or the government will take the hit in silence and let it slip. Either way, things will cool down soon. There's no point in retaliation from either sides. It's just a rage.
  3. "I know the road is long.. We still hold on.. We carry on.. We still stay strong.. Today is long but tomorrow will come.. Hold on.. Hold on now, now.."
  4. I never said that Truth excludes love. It's just not right here and now. It has been in the past and will likely be in the future, but it's not here at the moment. For me to hallucinate love in the present moment, I would have to let go of the past and future, and I don't want to let go. Love is so demanding, like a nagging wife that wants me to abandon my friends (thoughts) for her. No, thanks. Truth is much simpler. It cannot let go of me and I cannot let go of it. Wherever I look, there it is, looking back at me. It's infinite, so I can't be conscious of it all. There's nothing more to be conscious of. Consciousness is all there is.
  5. I can't miss the Truth because I am it. I don't have to look for it or think it. Whether or not I am realised does not make Truth less truer. If I can miss the love, then it's not absolute and simply just a temporary thought/state/form. Love can only exist relative to fear. Without fear, what is there to love? And without love, what is there to fear?
  6. Love is a state, not Truth. Truth is inclusive of love. Love is smaller than Truth. Love is a partial, relative truth. It's not absolute. Love and fear are two sides of the same coin. If one is absolute, then the other is absolute. You can't say love is absolute and fear is a limited/relative form of love. You can't have it both ways.
  7. A Kundalini couldn happen spontaneously. Not necessarily a full awakening, but still. That sounds like overthinking/thought overriding perception. In my experience, it's difficult to make it stop unless you lose that energy. Or, you'd have to be a very advanced meditator. You could also ignore this issue like it never existed and that would make its effects less real.
  8. Good post, man. Thanks for sharing. Conclusion: Children are stupid. Adults are stupider.
  9. @Someone here What's the problem with solipsism though? What would it change about your life whether it's true or not?
  10. @LastThursday @kagaria Thanks! This makes me wonder, though. Is it pointless to be on a path of self-development? If growth/understanding is infinite, then what's the point? What are we doing here, really?
  11. If cops didn't have privileges, no one would become a cop. I don't think it's easy to fix this problem. But of course that doesn't justify murder or any other injustice. It's a tough situation.
  12. Sounds like a Kundalini awakening. Have sex. It's a spiritual practice that can recalibrate your energy and put it back in balance.
  13. Ramadan is over now. It's been 5 days now, and I couldn't feel better. Stoics are wise people; Don't get used to live in comfort. That's hedonism, and it is a trap. Right now, I feel much better than I ever was before Ramadan started. This happens every year. Fasting grows me a lot. And now I'm doing it consciously, so it's even better. However, I've had some ego-backlash moments, more like a week in the middle of the month. I binged on playing a video game. Not video games, just one game: C&C : GENERALS : ZERO-HOUR. Here's a picture: I'd never binged on video games like this time for about 15 years now. The most I used to play, if any, was 2-3 hours a day, and not everyday. This time, it was like 8-10 hours a day, for more than a week. My eyes even started hurting me lol. It was a nice experience though. Destroying all enemies from all sides. I played all the armies; USA, CHINA, AND GLA. Each army has 3 dialects?? (not sure if the word is correct), so I played all 9 sub-armies and defeated all other armies in Challenge mode on the Brutal difficulty. And my strategies have certainly developed over the years .. Two days ago, I was meditating on a hike, as usual. I saw a co-worker from my previous job. He said they're going to offer me my job back. I felt content, and nodded politely. Yesterday, they did offer me the job back, and I refused. It's not worth it. It's not good enough money for the time I'd put into it. The reason I left the job in the first place was because I wanted to focus more on college. A little money is not enough to tempt me. It's better than nothing, but I don't need it currently. So anyway, supposedly, college is gonna re-start on Sunday 31/5. I'm excited to see how it's gonna take off. They're saying it's just 6 weeks and the number of hours will be much less than before. Next to that, I have language lessons. I forgot everything I've learned. Funny! Why am I even learning?
  14. Seems like you can stand this one specific lie ??
  15. A wise man once said: "It does not fucking matter whether or not solipsism is true. It's just a thought in your head. Reality will still be reality regardless of all thoughts. You're still gonna have to eat and shit and deal with others, conscious or unconscious, humans or bots." Spoilers: that wise man is me. Solipsist.
  16. @Keyhole Deep dark emo theme activated.. Loved the vibes.. Valuable.. You could easily become a writer with that theme. Many people would resonate. I know someone who did something similar. He's a Facebook friend of mine. He's turned his tragedy into a work of art.
  17. Play to play. Not to win, or avoid losing. Probably a cliché, but still true.
  18. @Jacobsrw No. You are an inferior illusion ??
  19. Waiting for the mods to join or start kicking out ??
  20. Prove to yourself that you are Conscious! You can't. The only evidence you have is mental sounds saying that you are conscious. Similar to my words, you're just perceiving them. @SamueLSD What you're asking is that whether others have independent conscious experiences or not. Well, think about it. If there are no others, then it's all you and your thoughts. But if there are others, then it's also all you and your thoughts. It makes no difference in your direct experience, because even if there are others, they're still you.
  21. I'm sorry about your health issues, and I hope you will get better soon. But regardless, your mind is unique and full of knowledge and wisdom, that's most valuable at all times. There has to be some way to utilise that gift. It's not personal. It's simply how reality works. If something has no value, it must cease to exist. God only allows valuable creations, and these creations follow the most valuable ones amongst them. For example, I started following Leo because he was of great value to me, even though I wasn't aware of it at that point. I wasn't viewing him consciously as a value machine. I was simply attracted to him. And that same chemistry is predominant among everything. It is what makes life lively and keeps it moving.
  22. Great! @Jacobsrw In your face. Ha! ???
