Someone here

I listened to this last night and man this man speaks directly to your soul and gives you the bottom line regarding complex issues that irritate every human and especially those of us who are on this path .Hope you guys listen and benefit from this. Also if you listened feel free to discuss or ask questions regarding what’s said in the satsang .

I agree . But I will say that knowing and being are two different domains. You could write a whole library of books describing a sunset scientifically or poetically but to see the sunset is a totally different story. Yes we can create models that describe accurately how partial parts of reality works but we can never address the question of what is reality with models or concepts . Because concept is concept and direct experience is direct experience.

Good question. I hope it’s not boring discussing the free will vs fatalism. you were born as a human male .. do you remember prior to your birth as that that you chosed that instead of being born as a female kangaroo ?

Thank you for opening up . Appreciate your honesty . I totally relate with “nobody knows jack shit “ but I also think that’s regarding the absolute nature of things .. obviously FBI agents know how to use guns..obviously labor workers know to build an apartment etc . I struggled with this absolute not knowing myself for a long time . I only realized that that’s just regarding the absolute nature of things ..it has nothing to do with handling my practical life . Also there is really nothing worth worrying or overwhelming yourself over in this life. If you’ve got your basic human needs met and you are healthy then stick your middle finger towards the whole world. Just live a mundane life and not achieving anything grandiose and focus on meditation and finding out the truth about yourself aka awakening. You know the awakening business is not a scam..there is actual insight that occurs into who you really are that transforms your life and the way of your perspective on your life ..suffering. etc . Enlightenment ofc is not gonna fix anything in your life ..it just gonna show you that there is nothing to fix. I know this sounds like cliche but it’s true . There is literally nothing to fix . You are completely free . An important insight I personally had is that I'm exactly right now in the place I'm supposed to be ..in the exact condition I'm supposed to be..its not particularly a very exciting condition but I know not a single atom in the world is out of place. I wouldn't mind living a luxurious life ..I would pick a millionaire role over a beggar anytime ..but in the end ..Whether I'm a millionaire..billionaire..zillionaire ....I mean there is nothing to do and nowhere to go . These are not spiritual bypassing or escaping life ..it’s true . I don’t settle for anything less the brutally dead honest truth.

This is disappointing to read . Don’t sell yourself short . You just said YOU ARE GOD..the greatest things EVER. Do you feel death anxiety as you getting older or trying to medicate some existential crisis you’re going thorough with spiritual beliefs or am I misunderstanding something? Because this is not the first time you say things like this .

@Yimpa what are you ?

sure 👍. I just hope I was able to communicate my point clearly . yes you could say God is consciousness or God is Nirvana ..but this doesn’t mean we really know what god is . Because god is also infinity . It’s akin to trying to insert or fit the larger into the smaller . Like trying to take the whole universe and say what it is with words . I hope the analogy is clear enough. It’s really simple . I’m not saying god cannot be understood at all . I’m saying god cannot be understood fully .

Leo is more radical still he was finished with this when you where your mother was singing you pretty little baby Leo is hilarious 😍😂

@Mellowmarsh cute but the two things are not contradicting. Yes you are me and I’m you and we are god ..but what is god though ? the point I made here is that existence is infinite . The infinite cannot be defined or quantified or measured or understood in finite words . existence is infinite . It has no beginning or end neither in space nor in time. We are inside an infinite 3D VR universe and you want me or Leo or some spiritual guru to tell you the whole thing as a bedtime story it is simply impossible. Nobody can do it . Nobody will .

God is said to be infinite for example. This means it cannot be known fully . How can something infinite be contained or explicated fully in a finite knowledge ? Like reading the Bible and Quran and Heart Sutra and Upanishad and all the books that talk about god can never fully comprehend infinity .

Yeah

Yes . Two points : 1- I know 100% that god exists just by looking at a fucking ant on the street . 2-I don’t know what god is fully . We can say he (it) is omnipotent & omniscient etc but what is god in its core I have no clue . It’s an infinite mystery.

First of all do you realize that there is such thing as god at all ? Or are you a retarded atheist? Look at the moon and the sun and your own body .. There are hundreds of billions of stars in galaxies ..and hundreds of billions of galaxies in the observable universe. Also intelligent life emerged and began asking questions about meaning ..purpose and existence. I don’t buy that all that happened just like that . also just go put yourself on a sinking boat in the middle of the sea facing death and immediately you will realize the god is real . so you can say we can feel the existence of god . But I’m talking about the very essence or the answer to the question” what is god” . Obviously that can’t be finalized. Let’s not be ridiculous here .

God can never be known fully . Yes you can understand it better than others but it is impossible to understand God completely. And this is not a mistake . It’s a simple fact.

If someone in real life makes fun of me or insult me or scream disrespectfully on me I experience irritation in my body and I experience an urge to react negatively towards these insults . Yes I can and I do understand that that’s not what I should do but it’s not completely under my control. That’s my experience.

Guud Gurl.

The finite can never completely comprehend the infinite . the infinite doesn’t know finite .

You never know if you are cumming or going .

Then what do you think is a human being? Come on man .

Do you believe that ?

Do you think this ?

@Joseph Maynor @Mellowmarsh

It occurs In the brain . Newborns are conscious but they are not “self-conscious “. The sense of I arises in the brain around 4 years old to help the organism survive .

Irritation in the body and a desire to fight the other person .

Science operates on the assumption that everything that exists is physical or can ultimately be reduced to physical processes. According to this view..there is nothing that exists which is not physical. Even phenomena such as thoughts.. emotions..consciousness and dreams are explained in terms of brain chemistry..neural activity and electricity in the brain . this physicalist paradigm is treated not as a conclusion that has been definitively proven but as a foundational assumption underlying modern scientific inquiry. I would like to ask the following questions: 1-Is “nothingness” itself physical? If everything that exists is physical..how should we understand the concept of nothingness? 2-By claiming that all things are physical..does that not indirectly acknowledge the possibility of something non physical ?Can the idea of the physical be meaningful without the possibility of the non physical? 3-What about entities such as ghosts and spirits or demons ..which many people claim to experience? If they exist would they have to be physical entities as well? 4-Dreams at night sometimes defy the laws of physics that govern waking reality..We can fly or change locations or experience impossible events. If dreams are purely physical phenomena generated by the brain..then what set of physical laws governs the dream world and how does it relate to the laws that govern the external world?
