Someone here

The "observable universe " is certainly finite, and indeed we know approximately how large it is. It’s very large ..literally incomprehensibly so to human intuition, in fact but still finite. Current cosmological evidence suggest the entire universe is isotropic, spatially flat, and infinite. One thing can be said for sure, what ever is out there is MIND BENDING All along we are trying to put bounds on infinity . Can't be done .

Let us suppose the universe is infinite in size. This is certainly possible given certain facts we know about the universe and its origin. It is often said that the universe started with the Big Bang 13.7 billion years ago. There is substantial evidence for this event. But you asked how it can be infinite? This gets into the realm of speculation but Einstein’s theories say that our universe is a manifold which is just a fancy word for a shape with certain mathematical properties. This theory admits that our universe could be just one part of a much larger cosmos, a bubble in a much larger cauldron so to speak. This is mathematically possible while there is no evidence for it. We cannot see into that outer cosmos by any known method. That outer cosmos would be outside of what is called the observable universe and thus not observable to us. Because of that the universe could be infinite but appear to us as finite

May i ask you in what context are you saying this? (To whom are you saying this or as a response to which post )?

Yes I agree. When you die ,the whole world will die with you. Eternity is a blink of an eye .

@Breakingthewall yeah, well, so we both are having an experience simultaneously and not that I will live your POV in a different lifetime?

So what's your opinion on other people being real vs imaginary ,which seems to be a trendy topic here in this forum ? Are you conscious that you are God? Are you conscious that you are the only one that exists? Or does other people have consciousness? What's new did this experience teach you?

Well..im not sure if want to marry . I want to be able to fuck as much diversity of women as possible. Being a single man is like being a free bird.

I haven't lived out a lot of sexual fantasies when I was younger, I had an extended phase when I would go to prostitutes and occasionally ask them what kinks they would like to offer and tried a lot of these. As for fantasies I have not really tried out, I can say thought about double penetration sex, maybe that is a fantasy I missed and it certainly not a thing I would suggest to my future wife.

@Razard86 We’re well into the realm of pure fantasy or science fiction or religious belief here! have a nice day ?

I'm not doubting for the sake of doubting. Although nothing is stopping me from doing that . Im a truth seeker .one of the hardest issues I'm facing in my journey is the question of death. And what comes after death . So I listen to anyone saying they know . You claimed to know. But was unable to provide evidence for your claim . Which actually supports my point. Reincarnation is a BELIEF. Like it or not . There is no reason to believe in it other than hopes and wishes. They make for very poor belief structures. It makes no sense to waste thought on things that are nothing more than imaginations for which there is no evidence or way to test. Maybe there is invisible undetectable magic man in the sky ruling the universe through physics we don’t know or understand, or maybe its a giant inflatable purple cow, or may its a trillion dust mites with collective brain on an undiscovered chocolate planet or maybe its a hazelnut planet with…..get the point? I don't want speculation. I want fucking facts . Because I'm fucking serious about this work .

@Razard86 you just changed the subject I'm not talking to a "myself " because I'm not schizophrenic. There isn't a me and a a myself to talk to . I'm talking to YOU. All I did was innocently asking for evidence of reincarnation. And you didn't provide one . You just came up with his idea that you gonna live the same situation from reversed positions .but I ask you HOW do you know that for certain? Because I don't have the same degree of certainty.

@Zigzag Idiot I am curious to know what sexual education looks like in your country. Where are you from? * Who or where do you get it from? * On a scale of 1 to 5 (1 being bad and 5 being great), how would you qualify the sex ed in your country? * Does your government promote a nation wide plan or does it depend on non governmental institutions (NGO) schools, etc.? * Do you think the people who teach sexual education are properly trained? * Have you learned about sexual education from other sources? Books, videos, talking with people you trust? Which one contributed the most to your knowledge? * How do you feel talking about sexuality related topics with other people? * Have you ever heard of "Ideología de género" or "Gender Ideology"? If you have, what are your views on that? * If you don't have sexual education in your country, what elements in your opinion contribute to not having it? I am interested in all points of view . These bullet points are just possible guidelines to talk about the subject. You can answer any, all or none of them.

@Razard86 Many people, including notable philosophers, stridently believe that we can never know anything for certain. That sets a very high bar for certainty, which we operate every day of our lives. Are you certain the floor will support your weight? Not 100% certain, but close enough that you are willing to step forward before testing the floor first. Imagine having to test everything before proceeding with the desired action. So, perhaps we can lower the bar on certainty to match what works for us on an everyday basis, rather than adhering to an impractical, even impossible, degree of certainty that some insist on before declaring certainty. Regarding the rebirth fantasy..every version of an afterlife is a story of wishful thinking unsupported by hard evidence. Our certainty about any kind of afterlife including rebirth, or reincarnation, is nil, yet the story seems to provide a measure of comfort for those who are unsettled, unnerved by the prospect of the death of the body meaning lights out for consciousness, totally and forever. I get it; death is ugly, death is nasty; it looks really bad and smells even worse. Death means deep sadness, unbearable grief, inconsolable misery for those emotionally attached to the newly deceased. What harm can there be in the invention of stories of an afterlife? That is for you to decide.

I never claimed that I know what happens after death . In fact my recent awakening tells me that death doesn't even exist. Its something you are imagining. So nah ..you ain't everyone. There isn't a "everyone " .there is only YOU .if we want to be accurate. I don't know what happens after death .I only know that I'm eternal and will exist forever. But the details escape me . Am I gonna reincarnate as a cat ?as a frog? Go to other dimension? Same dimension?....all of that is unclear to me .

What's your proof for reincarnation?

I am the type of person who probably has the craziest, wildest fantasies you could imagine. Most people wouldn’t even see that probably my wildest one so far would be an encounter with a guy .And while I am in a relationship with a woman, and I adore her more than anything, I always was curious about a man's touch. I have never been with a man. I fantasize about being with someone who knows what they’re doing, who can guide, and make me feel good. Someone who understands my body. It’s hard for me to achieve intense and satisfying pleasure easily through normal sex . It’s mainly how I feel, and what I crave. I crave a gentle, expert touch, soft gentle skin, and slow sensual lovemaking So even if it isn’t the ‘’ dirtiest’’ fantasy for a lot of people, it’s dirty for me.

@Zigzag Idiot thanks . I think that sex education should be an integrated component of population education programs in every country of the world . The problem is 90% of teenagers begin their sexual lives with porn and masturbation. I know I did .there is also this whole demonisation of sex that runs amok in third world and Conservative countries. What do you think? Should we teach kids in school about their sexusliy ?

@Zigzag Idiot The idea of porn addiction comes from the fact that watching porn can induce certain biochemical responses that also occur during sex, when being loved or in love, and consuming large amounts of chocolate. Typically, if it sets in during a relationship, it stems from dissatisfaction in the relationship, so it wouldn't be very pleasant. However, if someone been using porn as a crutch , the challenge is more in showing the same feelings and endorphins can be obtained just as easily with the a real partner. This can take time and therapy, as porn is easily accessible and lacks any potential issues with confidence or body type. Someone who has acknowledged a psychological dependency usually has had multiple things push them to it, so the challenges in the relationship will stem from those traumas.

I think that history supports the claim that communism is impossible, although I would say that unsullied democracy is also impossible, and for the same reason. As soon as an institution is set up, be it a political system or religion, those at the top will work to cement their positions and create a gap between themselves and ordinary people. The extremes of communist thought embrace an over-authoritarian stance, just as the extremes of right-wing political thinking do too. Not that that puts either side 'in the right ..how could it? Extremism never benefited anyone, that I know of, regardless of the detailed nature of the extremism (Bolshevism, Fascism, etc). So my question is: is it reasonable to condemn communism because its extreme manifestations are unacceptable? After all, the same objections could (and should) be made concerning, as another example, unconstrained free-market American Capitalism, an extreme form of right-wing politics.

@Sincerity It's ok .apology accepted. I hope our future interactions in this forum will be nicer . Yes I'm actually seeing a therapist. Do I manage things differently? sure. Is the depression still there, yes. I can manage as best as i can if i have affordable access to therapy, setting goals, exercise, rest, be consistent with my tasks, medications and surround myself with kind people and mindfulness. These things take time and change as the symptoms change.

And to you too. You see ,I don't mind criticism. But you have to do it from above not from below . I treat this forum seriously. I don't post half baked insights .I really always try to make my threads high quality. And when I say I had an awakening I'm not kidding..you have to understand my background and where I'm coming from . I had been depressed for as long as I could remember, right from teenage The reason for my depression was very very vague. I just didn't know why. I felt out of place as if I did not belong to this world. I had this strange yearning, gnawing pain of missing something, but I had no idea what. Although it mimicked ‘sadness’ about regular life issues, it was actually deeper. It was an existential depression. I didn't know who I was, or what I was doing here. Very very uneasy. Only through spiritual work and deconstructing my false beliefs about reality did I achieve even a little taste of happiness and fulfilment. I treat this work as an art form. And nothing gives me great joy then sharing my original insights with like minded people. So yeah sorry about it ..but I will keep posting.

How do you know that ? I've had several awakenings .the amount of work I do before posting a thread is enormous . You just get the final clear-cut picture. You don't see me struggling to piece together my insights in a easy to digest fashion. That being said ..I will keep posting on this forum on a weekly basis. If you don't like my posts just ignore me or leave the forum or do whatever the heck you want .because my style ain't gonna change . I had people messaging me telling me we get great values from your threads and that they appreciate my "work". So yeah.,as you said..it is a problem with you. Not with me .

Stop annoying me . I reported you.

@Sincerity who pissed on your soup this morning ?

I actually agree. We only know about the past because we have memories. Dates, which seem to index past events, actually index memories. Memories always exist in the present so dates are an index of present memories. Indirectly, dates index past events because past events caused memories but past events are not physically present. Only memories of past events are present. The important point here is that if you claim the past and future are mere projections being imagined in the present..then why don't you live your life in accordance with that? Why do you spend the majority of your time worrying about the future and reliving the past? Again it's one thing to understand conceptually the illusion of time or the illusion of causality..and it's another thing to actually embody these so called truths about existence.
