Proof there's no such thing. Don't kid yourself. You will rebut my statement, but that's just mind and thought - just like mine. If I did that, I'd be away from all this mess too and think i'm enlightening myself. Don't care what your rebuttals say.

Well stop throwing pebbles in the ocean and stay still and know that you are. Be still and know that I AM.

Who you are didn't forget who it is. Who you are just is. It doesn't have an activity as in forgetting.

He is not interested in watching the videos. He's not interested in answers, he's interested in keeping the mind's activity going and going and going. More answers will lead to more questions and more questions lead to more answers which leads to more questions and so on and so forth. How else does the mind keeps it's quo going. What do you want to do, kill this brother, he doesn't want to die. He wants to stay alive for more questions - not answers. Answers don't satisfy the mind, only questions and problems do.

What is it that will know it's enlightened. What is it that will know it's in bliss, Stop being deluded like the rest of minds. It's the mind that wants to become enlightened and be in a state of bliss. What's aware of all this is already enlightened and blissful if you want to use those terms for it. Nothing wrong with that. It is still being known. Knowledge is separation. One cannot know themselves one can only be themselves. (which reminds me, I should change my signature). On the other side of that knowing is something that knows. In that knowing there are no words or images. Words and images are known. They come and go. You are aware of those coming and going. You cannot escape yourself. The person that you think you are, is known. If you become in a state of bliss, that will be known. Known by what/who, YOU. Awareness. Sounds goo goo ga ga, right. Let me know when you hear someone on this forum says they're enlightened. Let me know when someone on the forum says they're in a state of permanent bliss and I'll show you someone who thinks they're enlightened and blissful, someone who has witnessed a person become enlightened and blissful. Who or what is prior to witnessing that. Let me know too.

I'm speaking on an existential level. What seems more balanced is irrelevant to what is. Reality appears physical but it's not. You are seeing the contents of your mind. This is not about not recognizing the physical or neglecting the physical, it's that I'm simply saying Reality is mental. The Universe is a mind and what you see is mind activity. Now, sure it appears real and physical and I don't go around saying yadi dee, yadi da, there's nothing here but mind, I'm just saying what it actually is.

Does a vacuum cleaner come alive when it's not plugged in. The electricity is alive not the vacuum. Same with the body. It's dead meat. The heart is what keeps it alive.

His question is an illusion, my answer is an illusion, your comment is an illusion, this forum is an illusion, you saying it's an illusion is an illusion. It's all except for what is not. Still gotta eat.

How

There is only aliveness. Nothing is really alive just appears to be. Aliveness is permeating through everything.

Stop confusing me for the body. Don't know about you, but I'm not just the body. These kinds of questions fall away when you've recognized the true self. The thread will go on forever if you think you're the body because every answer will point back to there being a person in the body when there isn't.

The body is not even alive, the heart is pumping blood just like a car cannot drive without gas or electricity.

No, it transforms. Go dig up a grave.

Ice is form. It still turns to water. Snow melts.

Men care about what they look like than women care about what men look like overall. Why? Men care about what women look like so they think we're obsessed about that like they are. Guys notice the small little physical details about women's appearance. All the time. Their nails, hair, clothes, shoes, smile, and the details about those things; everything, personality is usually last. So men will feel very self-conscious in this arena and start worrying about what women think and neglect what we really care about. Not surprised most of those women say they didn't care.

28-30 is the new pensioners. In the mind, that is. Ok, I will stop.

I know, it becomes an idea and concept after a while.

lol. Apparently, you are.

You're going to start sounding like a robot. You don't have to use the word seemingly every comment or response you make. The non-dualists teachers don't even talk like that on the regular. Maybe to stress a point. It gets a bit monotonous, don't ya think. Sometimes it's called for, but dang, every sentence,

That's a good one. Of course i'd endorse the more natural suggestion. I doubt it would grow back a full head of hair, though. I remember I used to use it on my eyebrows for thicker natural lashes. Worked, but made sleeping and the eyes a bit challenging.

Of course it has. Porn is just one aspect. The site is about Your Brain on Porn, so they'll be focusing on that aspect. I do believe, however, that technology itself plays a role, along with diet and mental health.

The reptilian part of the brain is rapidly aging, due to the increase in modern technology and at the pace it's going. Either that, or it is confused. Not sure, but I think it's the cause of the loneliness epidemic, the increase in anxiety, depression and suicidal thoughts. If you study the brain and the reptilian parts, it's not ready for all this technology use because it's still in the stone-age and is evolving pretty slowly pass it's survival mechanisms. I'm being very serious with this guys; and I'm not saying technology is bad. Infact, it's very helpful in our advancements; but I think the brain is being force-ripe into how it has to process all this rapid advancements in technology and it is affecting the way we view ourselves and the world. I bet you if we were to do a complete study on this, we would find out that this is the case. I haven't checked, but I can also guarantee that there is some already in place. The internet's definition of the reptilian brain is as follows: "The reptilian brain is the most ancient part of the brain and is responsible for regulating body temperature and other basic functions. It's also involved in how people react to fear, threat, and uncertainty, and how they process information in a variety of contexts". Most of us are locked into our phones and computers and are using tools like AI to do the processing for us and is causing the brain to function in ways not conducive to how it evolves naturally, especially the reptilian part. It is very flexible, but I think all this technology is causing the fight or flight response mechanism to out do itself and creating a massive flux in our attitudes and the way we think. Just some food for thought and is only my opinion and what I believe to be the case why so many of us are being disconnected from nature.

Be a stripper, that'll do it. Lol

I'm the most normal person in the world; what you talking 'bout,😜😜😜

🤣🤣 Sorry, had to. Don't worry, you'll get over it.
