Someone here

No he isn't. You overthink the hell out of everything. he is a good guy even though he looks like a drug dealer from GTA. Lol jk .

So is hell metaphorical or literal/actual? As in ..hell refers to attachment to ego...or hell is a fire you gonna burn in after you die because you jerk off to hentai porn and that makes god angry?

@Sugarcoat so what ? I stopped caring. I experience excruciating pain in my chest and lungs because of smoking intensely for 9 years . I Haven't done a check-up but im 100% certain that I have a cancer tumor. Yet ..I stil smoke everyday like a mofo .

No . The suffering of this life is one thing and religious hell is something else . Its a blazing boiling lava and fireworks that will make your body go through a pain orgasm . My life is not that.

@James123 what is hell ?

Isn't that exactly the point that me and you have discussed in my thread about "can a psychedelic take you to the end of ends ?" I have no answer to that and that is why I posted that thread .I'm looking for an answer myself.

@Sugarcoat I read recently that the number one reason for why intellectual atheists deny the existence of God is because of the problem of evil or the existence of suffering in other words .if God exists and God is a loving..kind ..Good.. and merciful being and he is capable of creating a heaven for everything and everyone then why do we exist in this hell hole called this world?! And I think it's a fair question. Leo says God is Good but goodness is not what suits your egos needs but goodness is pure fucking indifference. Idk .. Requires some cosmic awakening.

@Sugarcoat I understand. and im sorry for my rude tone . I stand by my opinion though .I gave you the punchline..suffering ends only when you die(probably). What most people don't understand about Buddha is he wasn't seeking enlightenment as in seeking truth .he was seeking freedom from suffering. As the story says he saw a dead man and an old man and a disabled man and it shocked him to his bones that these things are inevitable .so he went to the woods seeking salvation in meditation. Do you think he has achieved it ? No . He cowardly teached detachment and abandoning desire because he thought desire is the cause of suffering. But where is Buddha right now ? He is dead and there is not a single bone left from him . The all mighty GOAT of spirituality couldn't end suffering. You think you can or these people can?

Why is it even important what it's called ? I'm saying it has no name but that does not mean anything goes and you can call it cheesecake and that will be as truthful and accurate and representative as calling it reality . Are you conscious or sleeping right now while talking to me ? Obviously you are conscious. So whats your proplem with calling it consciousness?

@Sugarcoat perfect. So I have to get myself into some nightmarish hellish suffering in order to transcend suffering (because i will have no other option but surrendering )....? Brilliant.

What kind of bullshit are you trying to sell me ? From the moment you open your eyes in the morning to the moment you close them in the evening you are in a nonstop suffering..anxiety..anguish ..hunger ..boredom..tiredness..wanting to shit and piss ..cold ..hot ..dizzy ..angry ..this ..that ..etc

What is happening right now has no name. This is obvious as shit . However the word" consciousness "is more accurate than "a big hairy dick ". That's the beauty of it . Surrender or not doesn't matter..your so called soul will leave your so called body .when so called death comes and you feel the so called pain you are going to curse so called God and the day of your so called birth.

There ain't transcending pain as long as you live in this body made of bones and flesh which gets super hungry and thirsty and sleepy every 12 hours . When you die and (probably) play chess with God in his house called nothingness then there will be no pain. Buddhists call this nirvana . But you have to stop the reincarnation cycle by not giving a dam about anything under the sun aka detachment.

@Breakingthewall why are you coming at this from the materialist paradigm? Bottom line There is only one fucking substance out of which everything is made. Could it be otherwise? Consciousness is simply everything and anything. This is Consciousness. That is consciousness. You are consciousness. The brain is consciousness. Anything you think or possibly doubt in a million years that isn't consciousness IS fucking consciousness... Tada! And it can't be "defined" because there is nothing which is not consciousness to define consciousness in terms of it. That's why it's a mystery.

@mmKay first post as mod includes the word "poop ". Hilarious sigma dude .lol 😂

Replace the word " God " with the word "Absolute Reality ". What heck could Absolute Reality be other than this? And what exactly is this? CONSCIOUSNESS.

Glad you get this . I call this awakening to the fact that God is Money .

Oof. Relax Leo and don't unleash yourself. With that being said 🎊 congrats and grateful for your help you too . Natasha was just a matter of time I could see it happening since her first post here .mmkay has a sexy ponytail though and he is a no nonsense guy .

@OBEler Mods win Nobel prizes or something lol? Or get paid milion bucks ? Seems like Leo is reading everyone's posts and sometimes goes like "this member knows what is he talking about" let's glitter his name with green . I would never become a mod . Scanning the forum up and down all day everyday ? What's so sexy about this ?😂

Do Islamic prayer . You hold your hands together and pray quietly then you bow down and your forehead touches the floor and you thank god and praise him (it) and express gratitude for whatever God has given you in this life . Bored? Dude do you realize that you EXIST and that there is literally a THOUSAND interesting things you can get off your ass and do RIGHT FUCKING NOW?

First off you are not actually awake to solipsism just by the mere fact of posting on a forum expecting "others " as if they have an independent existence outside your consciousness to give you feedback. Sorry for pointing the obvious. There is a lot of nonsense going on on the forum as of late and I'm just trying to bring some sense to this place . When you ask if animal's suffering is imaginary then what's the point of going vegan to lessen their imaginary suffering ..when you ask this question you are fooling yourself. As long as "others " "seem" to exist then let solipsism suck my balls even if it's true . "Hell is other people " and you are forced to deal with people as conscious agents who definitely experience suffering. And the more you care about the suffering of imaginary others the more you become one with them and raise your awareness.

Hit the nail on the head . It's not coincidence that the universe seems to revovle around you and that you see the world mirroring your thoughts. These are all phenomenon which are well known in parapsychology like synchronicity and deja vu and law of attraction etc.

@Xonas Pitfall consciousness depends on brain which depends on biological processes which depends on chemicals which depends on the laws of physics which depends on cause and effect which go back 14 billion years which depends on the big bang which depends on God which is consciousness. Its a strangeloop. Consciousness created consciousness.

Estrogen.

Regarding consciousness watch these .
