@4201 I remember you. You were serious and not at all like this guy.

The guy was not even arguing. He's been on a rationalistic spree for the past day, without trying to understand the other side even for once. Just looping around back and forth in a circle.

?? He had it coming.

"No, you hang up first."

Logically, what's the point in anything?

@mandyjw Bless you

@Keyhole I don't want to sound fake because I don't have the right words to say to you right now. There were many things that I wanted to say to you regarding what you said; I played the replies in my mind last night because I was unable to connect to the internet to tell them to you directly, so now I don't feel like anything I say will sound authentic enough. Basically, I want you to know that I feel very thankful for you, you are non-judgemental and very understanding. Just the fact that people like you exist, was and is curative, and the questions you asked me were very helpful, they reached deeper than the inner child down to the core of my existence. Please take care of yourself. There's not a lot of people like you.

From an idealistic standpoint ??‍♂️ Then why do we always try to escape death but not try to escape sleeping at all? I wouldn't say that.

From a solipsistic standpoint, it all started the moment I became conscious. Therefore, it will all end the moment I die or rather stop being conscious.

Honestly, I don't know. My childhood was pretty fucked up, and my teens, and actually up until now. My life has always been traumatic/violent? Both my parents used to physically, verbally, and psychologically abuse me from a very young age, probably around 5 years old. And then at 12 they had me working with an abusive boss, although only verbally and psychologically, perhaps overworking me counts as physical abuse? I still don't think I've been a child enough. But anyway, at 17 the whole country got into civil war and other political issues. I was very close to death many times. Air strikes and mortar bombs and bombed cars all the time for about 5 years? With many direct violent incidents happening during that time. Once I was alone and got robbed by 3 armed terrorists. Another time I was beaten by an army guy and of course I could not hit back. And there were other incidents that I hadn't even told anyone about. On the other hand, when I was a kid around 8-9 y.o., I used to hit a kid with down syndrome, I still don't understand why. Maybe because he was weak? And also I always wanted my pet rabbit to be more intelligent and that made me want to hurt him because he was stupid but I was a little bit older at that point and I didn't do anything. He died eventually and I buried him in the nearby park and cried. I really don't know. It seems very complex even for me to understand. I even feel that I shared a lot here.

Yeah, you're gonna get banned. Pack your bags.

Pre-trans fallacy; http://www.interchangecounseling.com/blog/somatics-and-the-pre-trans-fallacy/

You're confusing context and content. Enlightenment is not about content/detail. It's about context/big picture.

Thanks for your understanding. You're off the list now It's something I'm working on, actually. I think I'm healing so these thoughts and emotions are surfacing. I've started experiencing these things a couple of months ago, but I still don't know what to make of them.

Profundity is a state of consciousness. If you're at that frequency, the sight of a dumb rock would floor you to the ground. But unless you're there, you're not going to see profundity in anything, no matter what it is. P.S. It's not a better state per se. I like to think of it as a more of a gullible/naive state.

Two more warning points to go. We'll see.

Can someone be spiritual without being needy? I don't think so. The whole concept of a supreme God is grounded in neediness. God is always god of the gaps. He is there to fill in the blanks. Whatever you lack, by definition, is God.

That, first, does not answer the initial questions. And second, it begs another question; why am I imagining anything in the first place?

We could very easily solve this problem by assuming an external God that is not the same thing as existence. And then by assuming that existence is God's creation, not God himself. Yep, an external God could do anything. He does not need to explain anything or tell us how he does his stuff though.

I seriously literally want to murder some people right now.

A clear-cut case of a delusional self-biased human who refuses to admit that he is deluded.

It's always good to stay off drugs.

You trying to figure out this Karma thing is itself part of Karma.

That's total BS. You aren't any more advanced than a rock. You just think you are.

The more appropriate questioning, I think, should be directed towards them. Why are you asking us to prove/disprove psychics? Ask them to prove themselves to you by explaining their knowledge in detail. What you're doing here is called the burden of proof fallacy. We're not obliged to provide anything about them. They're obliged to provide proof for their claims. A few coincidences here and there do not suffice in empirical research, especially that they're not double-blinded or even held by any scientific standards. And on top of that, they are very susceptible to self-deceptions caused by self-biases. But you know, you're free to believe whatever you want.
