Check out my YouTube account there's some stuff about apathy there. You just got to know your real priorities and focus on them. That's what living is all about, as far as I can tell

Just watch a cartoon movie lol

The old testament God exists because of that I think. The side of him that wants people to withstand the storms, the wars, the atrocities, corruption, etc etc. In other words the disciplinarian God wants us to grow, in order for us to gradually become softer and gentler, having learned from through experience (which is represented by Jesus and all his altruism stuff). So like a balance of the tough life lessons and then the transition to capital l-Love. Just a thought that popped in my head.

@SirVladimir that's nice of you yea, I hope I get there, gotta meet all the British guys ?

Same as it ever was.

The game is the game

I wish i was. London is my dream city. I don't really have any reason either, just feel attracted to that city.

@Preety_India This is false. By that logic nothing would happen, because nothing would be subjective. I'm tired of seeing people acting like nonduality is just 150 characters on a message board. If things were that easy we would have world peace by now.

@Gesundheit Wikipedia: Scientists do not know the exact cause of sexual orientation, but they theorize that it is caused by a complex interplay of genetic, hormonal, and environmental influences. Although no single theory on the cause of sexualorientation has yet gained widespread support, scientists favor biologically-based theories. -- So yeah it might be impossible to know for now.

@Gesundheit we don't have control of sexual desire. otherwise, the planet would go extinct. it's not something we generate at all. the concept of sexuality and attraction is being generated, but sex itself precedes human consciousness itself (and to have sex you need unconscious attraction, which you can't really explain. ) Feel free to refute that with some data, some tangible claims.

@Gesundheit in the sense that plants growing aren't real.

@Gesundheit there certainly are. Attraction itself exists in animals.

@longusername12345 It's really up to you. Do what you find worthwhile. Whatever makes you feel something strongly. Strong connection towards things leads to your identity in general.

@longusername12345 You're gonna have bad times in your life. They're bound to give you a direction.

Invariably yea. We are consciousness expressing itself as human as certain spiritual teachers and philosophers have said alike. As for emotions I don't think emotions are enough. There has to be a rapid shift in consciousness, something like... maybe the Internet revolution. Stuff that reaches mountains and father.

@longusername12345 Wait for disaster to hit you. Till then you're gonna have to make a choice.

@Consept "What can be done now" Make the world a school. Leo talked about this at some point, so to speak, when he mentioned just wondering why things happen, just figuring out how things work. So that's one way to do it. Another important thing is to just accept and appreciate. Accept and feel sadness, longing, pain. Get to know your anger and realize what its all about. There's a lot of asking that is possible nowadays - technology's a massive gift. Treating the world as a school. In a school you learn and yet you're still a student, no matter how good you are. Well, applying the lessons too. The truth is here, and yet its not here. Time gives the truth but time - were within time. We cannot grasp it. So might as well live, enjoy life, and learn. "While you live, live." - J Krishnamurti

@Pudgey I don't know what this forums rules are about asking questions but I find no problem in asking them. It's better to have discussions around it than ignoring your mind's own desire to seek answers. Answers are not certain (hence people still existing, if questions are so easily answered people just simply won't get up in the morning). I don't know you and what i said wasn't personal. I'm just tired of seeing people acting like answers are so easy to find. They're not. News medias and YouTube channels and publications - these people are as clueless as we are. We don't have the answers and that's why people should ask-- it's better than sitting it out. Drugs are cool and people cannot always get them. They might not be for everyone either. So yeah, discussions over passive agreement. Think Bertrand russell originally said that too.

@Pudgey yet you are posting him an egotistical self righteous message. what makes you better than him? please.

read my self actualization journal on instincts and stuff but seriously though. build your character. basically the essence of all self-help. know your weaknesses and strengths and desires and fears. people pay for psychotherapy just for these stuff, but actually self-help can be learned from anywhere. from philosophers, from people you admire, from life. It's more easier than ever to do these given that were literally talking in a forum, but at the same time, no, because... decreased attention span for the many? so be sure to devote a lot of time to it. otherwise you're free to become literally anyone... a ceo, an artist, a serial killer... the world has no rules, because really it exists only in our consciousness. like, dogs literally don't know shit about our human stuff.

FEAR.

@Meditationdude That's actuallly what Stoicism was all about, precisely development towards that. I don't know if people are like that at all but me... far from it. I doubt/second guess myself all the time, within reason or otherwise. (I don't doubt my values but as far as decisions go I'm an overthinker.)

The only way There are beautiful moments in other places but they aren't exactly happy... too subjective to be called as that

Reality is very deceptive (and we are very much prone to illusions) and at the same time very tangible. That's why so many are neurotic to say the least. (Trying to describe reality here as it is the main topic anyway) Possibility... it's a great great gift that can easily be a curse. Possibility can breed both creativity and anxiety. At worst, it could lead to antisocial or criminal behavior. I think it's tragic when people lose their capability to see possibilities that they truly cherish... i think this is called passivity (or the same as...) Possibility can also be drained from a person. An indication that he / she needs to rest, maybe? Which again is the nature of things, yin and yang sorta thing. Possibility beats money stacks imo. But you got to pick the very best ones, and be very good at generating them too. Kinda like a game too, y'know
