Someone here

I feel like there is a conflict between two places in my life . They are NOT "places " really but modes of being or experience. The first one is the story of my life and getting involved in the details of the movie of life .again there is no "movie of life " ..these are metaphorical expressions. And the other mode is pure presence..pure silence..pure acceptance..unconditional acceptance of what is as it is . I will try to describe the two modes . The mode of pure presence..is the silent mind .the place where All is well and there are no problems of any kind whether physical or mental . Like when I'm in deep sleep ..or when I meditate ..or anytime I'm alone and relaxing and just being in the moment with zero or so low distractions. That is a very good place to be . I feel calm ..grounded ..peaceful ..even "enlightened ". The other place when I'm totally disconnected from that place .when I'm dealing with physical problems..like a sickness ..or a fight with other guys..or some traffic stressful situations..or when my body is feeling lack or discomfort like it needs food or It needs to rest yet the rest and food are not available at the moment and there is no alternative to experiencing the discomfort and "sucking it up ". Or when I'm REALLY mentally annoyed by an existential question..like I'm really confronted by it not just doing armchair philosophy...but really annoyed by the question and I can't meditate or forget about the question . I'm always either in the first place or in the second place . I'm wondering for how long do I have to be in one of these two places? Are there people on this forum who have transcended this duality?

I literally just experience life slowly like Osho. Talk slowly..walk slowly..eat slowly..shower slowly..move through space-time slowly..enjoying my own body ..enjoying the three dimensions I'm moving through ..looking at things..yeah that's literally a spiritual practice . Live your life slowly and meditaviely.thats all.

Wasn't joking at all. I mean what I said.

@Yali why should I care ? Why do you care ? Essentially this is distraction. "Oh you gotta check your social media every five seconds for breaking news about Epstein's files cuz ya never know what kind of distracting nonsense is fresh ". I'm done here . I said what I want . Probably thread will be removed to Society section . Ty.

@Yali yeah crazy I know .the dude was a pedophile, fucking illuminati satan basically ..nothing new . Wicked shit happens all the time . People get arrested right now for sneaking in child pornography on the dark Web...whats new ? Millions upon millions of innocent people died horribly in WWII...nothing new . Just nonsense.

Yes. Its obvious. Imagine you are the only human on the planet .eating some mangos and chilling on the beach and calling it a day. That's life . All of society is designed to keep you distracted . A question and please answer honestly: do you actually give a fuck about Epstein? The answer is obviously no . Then It's just nonsense .don't click on videos about him on YouTube. Don't pollute your mind with NONSENSE.

This is a distraction and maya delusions. Human drama and human games .bunch of nonsense. Fuck Epstein . Like go open youtube.."Oh look new sexual crimes revealed in Epstein's files " . Don't click .you are imagining him to distract yourself.

I'm not afraid of death . What's the worst thing ever that could happen to me ? Or you ? Have you ever thought about that ?

No . There is no action-step AT ALL. The body is here on this earth to do whatever it came here to do .and it will be done left .that's your Karma .why someone is born in a wealthy family and other one is born in Gaza begging for bread ? Even saying "don't do anything " is too far. There is zero distance between you and "THAT". Its Immediate as fuck.

But that's already happening. How do you wake up from sleep ? You just jump out of oblivion to awareness "like that". You take a walk you gonna burn calories and go hungry and you go eat .your body gets older and your heart stops beating and your body goes to the grave . Therefore...there is no action-step here . There is no "let the body do x y z"... the body doesn't give a squat about you it's already doing what should be done .

I'm not saying there is any shoulds or musts regarding whatever you choose to do with your life after you awaken to some deep existential truths ...it's the opposite..it frees you of that and the real fun begins ..but just examine your life ..what good is believing "you're done with it all" and you can't care less if you're being dipped in Lava yet you still can't handle three hours of not snacking on something as an example? All enlightened people in the past were monks .living minimalistic life.

@VeganAwake you're full of shit if you still alive as a body . "Nothing matters nothing means anything. nothing is happening no me no you no god no purpose no value no observer ". Wow man ..we are in the presence of a realized sage .😂 Yet you can't let go of your morning coffee? Get real ,no one.

@James123 A humbling lesson I've learned by being in this forum for so much years and fucking up A LOT by now is that thinking will never resolve thinking .there is no ultimate answer .no intellectual attempt you sit down and logic it all down to the hippy dippy Absolute Truth will ever lead anywhere. You are just talking .what has talking (whether with yourself or others ) ever done to you ? Lol The more you learn the more you realize how little you know the more you will be overwhelmed you become by the absurdity of existence the more you suffer .vicious cycling. Have you considered unknowing and just existing ? Like hey man I'm here and I have my daily food and a roof on top of my head and a toilet and a bed what else matters really? Live ..die ..If there is some ultimate truth it's gonna be revealed sooner or later whether "she" likes it or not .

Of course there is no such thing as relative or Absolute. If solipsism is true then its true .Carl-Richard seems to have issue with the escapism and spiritual bypassing of adopting solipsism as a worldview . I mean these are two separate issues .if it's true then it's true the It's true lol..what has making you depressed or impractical has to do with it's truth value or lack thereof?

@Natasha Tori Maru your list doesn't matter to the universe

1- yes it has negative stigma because it says you're alone in this world . When I was a child I would cry a river whenever my parents leave the house and I have to spend time alone in my bed staring at bare walls waiting for my parents. Loneliness has no reputation of being a good emotions. Emotions do not determine objective truth though .do you agree? 2- isn't solipsism like the opposite of materialism in the sense of "naive realism "? 3- same page on the relative vs absolute blending . Just because a solipsist thinks the world is his imagination doesn't absolve him from eating and working etc. 4- some people do hold it as a belief or they are entertaining the possibility..like dude there is some weird shit in this reality and glitches in the matrix you encounter multiple times everyday. I don't personally think solipsism is so far fetched. I mean you go to bed ever night and create a solipsistic seemingly real universe ...I Don't see what's so far fetched to think this experience right here works the same way . 5- if you take a chemical and hallucinate a dragon ..why can't you hallucinate from the start? Anyways i don't want to derail the topic Just sharing some thoughts .

@Carl-Richard what exactly pushes your buttons so much about solipsism?

People want to sound deep and to be perceived by others as that . It gives you an ego boost . We do that in our lives In subtle ways. I remember in High-school I used to be obsessed about my hairstyle and my dress and perfume and shoes as if I'm going to my wedding not some shitty school lol. The same motive there.

I'm doing both . If I put it in a clean neat language there is this thing called Allah sitting on a throne In the heavens .he was never born nor will ever die ..and has all the characteristics of any God in all of humanity's religions and mythologies. He created the universe and this earth and humans specially to worship him. Nothing else .worship through the Islam prayer which similar to Jewish prayer 5 times a day you bow down and glorify him since adolescence till last breath of your life .After you die he either takes you to eternal heaven which is a place for hedonistic desires or to hell which is a place for eternal punishment by burning in fire .

@kavaris islam: Allah just there since forever. He created humans to worship him cuz his bored. If you worship you get sex and alcohol..forever. if you don't worship you get your ass fried..forever.

i think anyone who's at least stage green understands this . Makes me wonder whats the the point of this whole discussion here ? Because that's the whole shtick with the Breakingthewall guy.. Because Sufis are actually considered heretics and atheists by most of the Islamic scholars..islamic sects ..and even Muslim people. Mainstream Islam says the Quran is the final literal word of the exclusive one and only creator of this universe. there is no dancing around this core theological belief in Mainstream Islam. If you change a single word in that statement and replace it with Sufi fluff you are immediately an apostate and you gonna be killed in countries like Afghanistan for example ...not to mention eternal fire in the after life . Likewise for accepting all the moral commands in the quran like cutting the hands of theivs..stoning a woman to death if she had sex without marriage. Dude wake up .

😂

I agree with this . I'm personally so sick of my family members being so lost in ego games and taking themselves and their story in life so seriously and turning it into drama and such a pain in the ass ..identical to drama they watch on TV series or Netflix shows and all that. I have the feeling that watching too much of that stuff made them think that life itself is like a movie or a series and that they ought to act like those characters. I love Turkish drama .just wow so dope man..as if you are watching one of Dostoevsky's novels Actualized. But the problem Is watching drama and movies make you relate to your own life as if its a movie and you will subconsciously try to imitate the actors. And so thats what most of my family members do .the opposite of what I'm doing . I tried at the past to move them out of fantasy into the "real world " but they are a lost case. I'm at the point nah let them live their fantasies. I'm good .

I'm not sure if the whole "intelligent vs dumb " thing is a human projection. What I know is it does appear intelligently designed. Like look at animals ..or even your body ..eyes see like a camera ..ears hear ..a digestive system etc. Or how planets orbit around the sun. Just the very fact that there are physical laws at all governing the universe and are knowable to us as humans and can be described with mathematics and allow us to predict the movements of planets and stars . Etc. Fascinating.
