Not only. An animal that sees a predator running towards it knows the meaning of that. It's almost nothing in appearance, but if you look closely, there are layers and layers of meaning. If you strip away all the social meaning, related to society, like winning the Olympics, there's still a lot of meaning. He must swim, or he'll drown. He must do it a certain way. He must move in a certain direction. He's focused on all of that, and he can't escape those layers of meaning. Yes but not only that. There are energetic barriers in the structure of the psyche that go beyond the verbal. The foundation on which the psyche is built is the fear of dying and the desire to live. This branches out into countless structures, and language is only the superficial expression of them There are many ways of thinking. Rumination-type thinking, in my opinion, is a psychic alarm telling you to harmonize certain trapped energies. Each case is different; perhaps in a particular case, you should burn your father alive, to give an extreme example. Karmic impulses are what they are. The inner structure of the mind is in relationship with the outer flow of events; they are one, not separate entities. Ultimately, there is no inside and outside. In my opinion, The best thing is a life with deep and solid relative meaning, along with the ability to hack your system at will, temporarily erase all meaning, and open yourself completely to your absolute nature. This is possible, but no one said it was easy.

Without limits, there is no meaning. Meaning means something within limits; outside of them, it is nothing. Or, to put it another way, if you divide anything by infinity, the result is zero. Our true nature is limitless, so to access it, you must leave meaning behind. If there is any meaning, there must be some limit.

He already has the face of a cyborg, all he needs is a titanium body with the strength of a god and his own solar system.

Maybe he thinks that in 30 years there will be therapies to reverse aging and he will have plenty of time to walk on Mars

Musk probably thinks that those who colonize Mars will go with genetically modified, partially synthetic bodies. Perhaps he's not wrong.

Christianity is the most misunderstood religion . The Gospels say, "Do not judge if you do not want to be judged." Christians are puritans and judgmental to the max. They are hypocrites and try to appear virtuous. They say, "The truth will set you free." They are slaves to their lies. Let he who is without sin cast the first stone, and the greatest sinners are those who throw the most stones. In short, it is very rare to find a true Christian. It is common to find hypocrites who seek social acceptance and are terrified of rejection, and who would have hated Christ if they had known him. Then, to juzgue Christianity it's better don't observe the christians, just read the gospels This is because Christianity says: only the pure of heart will enter heaven, and the reality is that if you are not pure of heart, you are not, and there is nothing you can do, because you aren't because the fear, and it's not so easy to overcome it

But I agree that a guy obsessed with colonizing Mars should not be in a leadership position in the world's leading power.

Colonizing Mars is a meaningless achievement, like climbing Everest or sailing around the world in three months, but that is the human drive that moves us forward

This is also the case in many cases when a surgeon operates on your brain and saves your life.

Musk is a very creative guy, but without state aid, he wouldn't have survived , so he's not a pure capitalist. He's more of an ambitious visionary who wants to make his mark in history. He's pretty crazy, but for some reason, things turn out well for him. He has vision and knows how to sell himself. On the other hand, he has major flaws, and he doesn't hide them. Musk is a fairly transparent guy, which is appreciated, since at those levels, it's normal for people to be the opposite of what they show. We'll see the results of his political actions; it's too early to judge.

If you realize that reality has no limits, you'll know that any image is limited, and therefore false. Any belief dissolves into infinity; only the substance remains. This isn't a belief; it's an unavoidable fact that erases the mind. Let's say beliefs have a longitudinal dimension, a mental map you make of what reality is. If you contrast it with infinity, its length is zero. On the other hand, its depth is infinite, but it can't be articulated.

Me same , they always are there, layers and layers, but they keep falling

To know yourself as a human, the best thing imo, is simply to remove the barriers, everything that binds you and keeps you prisoner, and be absolutely free. Then the perfection of this concrete form manifests and develops in all it's power and beauty.

What you are as form is the color, the flavor of this manifestation of existence, the entire range of perfectly harmonized nuances that form this prism through which existence perceives itself. As essence, you are the flame that burns within, the portal to infinity from which you draw your energy, the total. This is what's interesting to me; there lies the real game: How far can you open? How transparent can your form be ?

For example, if Peter Ralston says that you are the screen on which reality occurs, and you adopt that framework and try to perceive from that angle, or if Buddha says that you have to achieve the absence of desire and attachment to reach nirvana, which is the ultimate goal of spirituality, I'm telling this as an example. I'm not saying that you should believe in those specific things, but in whatever someone has said Of course. But I know what a belief is. What belief could you possibly have about ultimate reality that isn't a mistake? I have a few. Like: Reality is probably cyclical...but perhaps it isn't. Can anything be known? You can only perceive what you are.

What others say means nothing because what you say means nothing either. I'm talking about openness to the absolute. It's something that lies outside the linear scope of the logical mind. The only thing the logical mind can do is adopt a pattern that allows it to easily get out of the way. This pattern is understanding that infinity is not comprehensible; you can't grasp it with the mind. If you do, you're creating an image. That's not what you're looking for. What you're looking for is true openness; it operates on a different frequency. The logical mind must be insigthful enough not to fall into its own traps.

It's extremely difficult to stop being an addict. It's not about quitting a substance or a behavior; it's about radical change. Very few people achieve that process. You have to be quite intelligent and understand the dynamics of your psyche, get into the source code, and completely reverse it. You have to have a stroke of genius to do that, and no one is going to do it for you.

Perhaps no one here realizes the obvious fact that to look within yourself, you must transcend the layer of the conceptual mind. Step number one: nothing means anything. Why? Because any meaning is an obstacle. The mind must be free of structure, absolutely diaphanous. If you haven't reached this point, you haven't even begun the real thing; you're stuck in a loop.

Do you believe in anyone? Do you have beliefs? How anyone could help you in this field? Anything that anyone says and you believe is a hindrance

No, it's just for fun, like meetings people who do the same work as me and talking about it. Nothing any guru says interests me at all; they're just words. The issue of spirituality is real: looking inside yourself and opening yourself up to the fullest. You're alone in this. Beyond a certain level, there's no one else. There's only you, the existence. Anything that anyone says means absolutely nothing.

@gengar It's good that you're serious and asking seriously. I write on this forum often because it's the only place I know where you can express your spiritual expansion, and I wish there were honest people with a true intention of opening up and going deeper. I'll tell you the answer: it's a message of reality to tell anyone who can understand the slightest thing: don't believe anyone, just believe in yourself

The difference between addiction and passion is that one is negative, and the other is positive. Addiction absorbs; passion gives.

You are both. You are the consciousness of reality and the inevitable creative impulse. The inexhaustible, infinite, expanding flow. You are not the screen on which a dream is taking place, for there is no dreamer. You are the living, dancing flow, deepening within itself. The inevitable, eternal expansion. If you look deeply within yourself, you will find a source, a nuclear reactor of infinite power, shining with the absolute light granted by its infinitude. Question nothing, define nothing. Consciousness, doer, observer, God, creation, they mean nothing. They are only barriers; forget them. Just look within, and what you are will manifest.

The conceptual mind is the result of energetic structures, not the other way around. You're a child. One day you feel fear, then you create a structure around that fear. One day you feel unaccepted, and you create another structure. If another day you see a cloud in the sky, you don't create a structure around that, you create it around the fact that your father rejects you, since millions of generations of tribal ancestors are screaming at you: you must be accepted, or you're dead. Then from these structures you create concepts. All the Tolle spirituality, sadhguru, etc., is absolutely false. They tell you that you are wrong, that your mood depends only on you. What if they tell you that tomorrow your entire family will be tortured and you will be thrown into a dungeon, and then a witch will cast a spell on you that will send you to hell for eons, right NOW, nothing bad is happening! Lobotomize yourself! Buy heroin and be happy! And people buy into those scams and then get frustrated triying to castrate themselves. Your state doesn't depends only on you, you are a hive entity interconnected with the totality, not an island.

Where is that evidence? Is there any scientific consensus on this issue? Or do you think scientists are stupid and plotting to hide this fact?
