@JosephKnecht A whole book in just ten days??? How many words in total? What is it about?

I knew you weren't enlightened!

Great! What color is the wind?

And how can we "test your enlightenment"?

Yes.

@Javfly33 Point at the "physical difference" between your five fingers.

Locked for low quality. We will not be discussing here whether Jews are more or less special than other people.

@SQAAD But that's the point. You saying "this is absolutely awful" is the result of yourself having abandoned yourself into horror. It's not like I enjoy sh*t like funkytown or even that I know to love this stuff, I don't. But I do understand that me being repulsed and horrified by certain aspects of reality is just my limited bias and that ultimately, there is no reason whatsoever why I should prefer eating ice cream over being slaughtered with a rusty blade. You are projecting selfishness onto reality and then pretend that you didn't and that there is actually something wrong with it.

Imagine for a second that you have been dwelling in infinite bliss for eternity, knowing that you are God and that nothing, nothing, nothing could ever hurt you. Why not forgetfully abandon yourself into horror?

Because neutrality has an opposite. Love doesn't. Love is both neutrality and bias. Love = Nonduality Edit: depends on what you mean by "neutral". If you mean "total non-discrimination", then that is the Love!?

Oh but yes!! That's exactly what makes the cup Love Haha oh boy, I'll celebrate the day you post "holy f*ck it's love" That's exactly right again, you got it. Not-Loving is not even an option. That's why Love is the Absolute and without any opposite.

@SQAAD There is no need to call it any of that. All of these are of course identical. And Love isn't some new feature besides Being, Truth, God, Consciousness, etc. You simply discover that "Love" is just as accurate of a description as for example "Truth" or "Being", etc. But that is the Love!? Consciousness doesn't struggle to accept / love anything, but identification does. What is all-inclusive is all-loving. What is all-inclusive? Existence! Have you ever seen existence reject anything from itself? How could it? It's not that reality "does" the acceptance of itself. It is the acceptance of itself (Love) by virtue of simply being. Not at all. Ironically enough, "the horrors of existence" is an expression born from a (seeming) lack of Love.

The question isn't whether thinking is a duality, but whether duality is a thought. Thought makes it seem that there are dualities. And therefore it can also seem that thinking is a a duality. However, this is itself is just a thought. That's how the illusion of mind "sustains itself". Because "duality" is just a thought itself, thought isn't a duality.

I'm sorry what is this thread about again?

@Gregory1 What you make of it is simply what you want to make of it. If you wanted to say hello and see what psychedelics can do, now you've had a glimpse into perfection, beauty, the ineffable and into the fluidity of consciousness. If you want to derive some metaphysical implication from the psychedelic state, you can do that too. And it's perfectly valid to not "make much" of your first trip. You can just sit there and marvel at it, if that's what you want to do. There's nothing you ought to do.

First Pfizer shot didn't have any side effects at all, second shot a few weeks ago; sore arm for 4 days and a swollen axillary lymph node but nothing else. And I didn't exercise for 2 days to reduce the myocarditis risk.

Please open a new thread instead of reopening an old one.

@SQAAD You will see this in a very, very different light once you realize that you are also Love. 1:36:15 - 1:38:26

I think god realization includes liberation, but liberation doesn't include god realization. But I haven't experienced the level of god realization that Leo talks about so my conception might be wrong.

@Tyler Durden Symbols are projections. There aren't any numbers or mathematical or natural laws "out there". All of science and mathematics is 100% projection. I like the way Alan Watts describes this:

@Tyler Durden Numbers are finite symbols - in fact, every symbol is finite, or it wouldn't be a symbol. Reality is infinite and not a symbol. To ask whether numbers can in some way grasp reality is like asking whether your pinky finger can grasp your entire hand. Actually, it's even worse. It's like asking whether the mere words "pinky finger" can grasp your entire hand.

Numbers are just symbols. Can you understand the color blue through numbers? Can you calculate your way into feeling sorrow, love or hope?

@Someone here Hehe thanks, now I finally get to live out my lust for power?? jk

After a certain point, you see that even to call anything "it" is already saying too much. And then, silence.
