Grow a long ass beard . Never blink . Start a spiritual cult . And say "Sssss" at the end of each sentence

@Ishanga@Javfly33 @Hojo what exactly the thing that reincarnates? The body? The soul? The self? The Self? The awareness? The ego? All? Some? What??? Because as a matter of observable fact the body decays into dust and rot alright?.. Once your physical body dies it just dissolves into it's essential elements and just evaporates in nature.. Gets diffused into the soil etc. So that's that. What is it exactly that reincarnates then because obviously it's not the body? The self? There is no self "inside "the body lol !. The body is inside the" Self". There is no ghost inside the machine. What you really have is a machine inside the ghost lol. The self (ego) is a negative hole that appears as a consequence (byproduct) of entanglement of thoughts.. perceptions.. feelings etc. It's a misidentification really. It's a negative.. not an existing entity onto itself. So there is no self to reincarnate. IMO reincarnation is no different from Abrahamic religion's notions of hell and heaven.. Both have ZERO evidence!. As for karma as an evidence that supports reincarnation.. Well it's simply that for each up there is a down and for each action there is a reaction. You throw up a ball in the sky.. It falls down in the opposite direction taking the exact time that it took to reach the highest peak to fall from it into the ground. That's karma. The universe is already at perfect balance. There is no need for reincarnation to achieve balance as if balance could be lost to begin with. Balance is already the case. It's inconceivable that something unbalanced could even exist! And if you look at it from a pantheistic worldview.. You are already living inside every creature in this planet.. So at the moment that you are beheading a chicken you are the chicken that's being beheaded and the human who is beheading it simultaneously. Karma is instant.

Thanks for information. Very interesting.

Your profile says you're in Croatia . Weird .if I managed to bang a Norwegian girl in India where people from the opposite sex only date in rearranged marriage..then surely you can do it in Europe. Is there a possibility to move a larger city in Croatia where there is decent night life ? About dating apps . Of course they work perfectly. Who told you they don't ? Most people meet each others online these days . Even for making friends and socializing.

How is swimming in a pool of cow shit not Love ? Isn't Love supposed to be another word for god or the absolute or everything that is?

Well if that's the case..then why make dozens of threads about cessation..mahasmadhi..non existence..ending the cycle of reincarnation etc ? If you feel happy just by existing then this is good. This a sign of enlightenment. But i don't believe you're "there "yet . I've followed your posts over the years ...you improved..but you still believe the true nature is nothingness and not both nothingness and everythingness ..which oddly enough you seem to contradict once again with this post. So what's the deal jav?

OK. In my experience there is no such thing . What is known as "unconditional love" in spiritual community is not bliss or positive emotions..it's an overarching unity that encompasses the whole spectrum of all emotions. So pain..misery..disease..hunger ..filth ..happiness..orgasms..dog shit ..etc ..are all unconditional love. In Leo's interview with Curt from theories of everything.. Curt has asked Leo if love is not romantic love but rather an all encompassing substratum that includes everything that exists..then why calling it "love" and not "bugaboo "? And Leo's response didn't convince me . Since the word "love" has emotional connotation then why insisting on calling it love if its not romantic love ? Then why did you say each atom in the universe is made of love if you're not always in love?

@Javfly33 also there is love as emotions..and love as the substratum of existence which the sages talk about . In all honesty I'm not conscious of love as the substratum of existence. Are you ?

Do you find love in the ingredients table of the universe?

Lol.

@James123 what's happening right now is literally impossible. Glad you got it

"You did not ask to come to this earth, you did not ask to be a male or a female ,you did not ask to go through the experiences you are going through in this life ,whether they are good or bad ,yet,here you are going through certain experiences . Yet,you are arrogant enough to believe that you have the ability to change those experiences. Your entire life was preordained before you came to this earth .the day you will be born into this body ,the experiences you are going to go through ,and the day you are going to leave this body . this sounds weird to most people because they didn't investigate this deeply enough .they didn't turn within ,where Truth resides ,to discover their true nature and the meaning of life . Most people are just born ,they go through a certain conditioning and upbringing, they follow a certain religion, they work in a certain job,they live in certain cities, and they spend their lives trying to accumulate lots of money ,or striving for being maximally healthy, or to look as good as they can . And yet ,life passes through them,they get older and older, they get sick ,and they die . And that's the end of that .before they know it they will be six feet under the ground . The only freedom you will ever get is when you dive deep within silence, when you transcend the universe, your body ,and your life . " -from the collected works which were compiled by his devotees.

It's comforting to see how clueless everyone is. So I'm not alone in this existential madness.

@Javfly33 define "absolute ".

Wrong .that's totally backwards . The absolute is being imagined by you as an experience .experience did not and does not come from anywhere. Don't believe me ? If you actually bothered to LOOK and check your direct experience you will see this clearer. Then that would also be saying too much. So why are you biased towards the absolute? you are leaving it as a superposition of "there is existence without experience and existence with experience ". And what im telling you stop philosophizing and check direct experience. There is no existence without experience. Come the fuck on.

Great! Do you know that that's the most important and profound question in all of spirituality...religion...science..and philosophy? Basically why the fuck does anything exist at all ? Check my thread here : Anything said or spoken or written will always remain partial and limited. As existence is Limitless for our present configuration and dimension.. it may remain beyond our comprehension and understanding FOR EVER..AND FOR EVER. YOU already are the unconditional pre-existing condition FOR A QUESTION TO EMERGE. So..you are already the ANSWER.

There is nothing but experience. Check! The absolute is less real than experience.even If the absolute is god..I don't care ..God is less real than my five senses . You are sacrificing direct experience for a thought story .

Which part that 🤯 shocked you the most ?

Oh interesting to know about you . So how's America been as of late? And keep it 😯hush shush..how to get a green card ? I want to get the hell out of India ASAP

@Princess Arabia I only today knew that you're American by that thread in the health section. I thought you were African. 😂

Make America happy again 🙏

Aren't experiences part of existence? What is existence if its not an experience? For starter ..the word "absolute " literally means that which has no opposition. So existence is absolute because by definition non-existence does not exist . So how can my human experience right now of existence not be absolute? Where do you find a " must "? Is there a holy book that says what you ought to do ? There are no musts in existence.

Dude look..get to the point please..I don't like playing endless Zen Coans and riddles..what is your main point?

Sure ! That's correct. Self Inquiry is trying to arrive at what "you " are existentially by studying direct experience without further preconceived beliefs.

It's easy to say shit like this but do you actually live up to that ? If you have a job in the morning or a class or meetings or whatever..don't you set the alarm before going to bed ?
