What else to do? Live with your enemies who wants to destroy you? Seems a bad idea

All of this is a need to label reality and it gets anyone to nowhere. What is sought is openness to the absolute that we are, total freedom, in the cleanest and most constant way possible, and for this, labeling is an obstacle. What we want is to see the infinite alive in everything, since everything is. For that we have to transcend the mind, and all that about God imagining a dream to live an adventure is in the realm of the mind, it is something that is inside the dream, outside of the "dream" it means absolutely nothing.

@Danioover9000 obviously it is not the same, it is similar in that it is a war. The Palestinians do not want peace, they want war and the expulsion of the Jews from Israel, then there is war, and the logical thing would be for Israel to expel all the Palestinians. They are already totally hated by the Palestinian and by all their neighbors, so they lose nothing and gain a lot. Yes, there is no solution, they aren't going to stop being fundamentalist, so it is impossible to live with them. Either you go or they go.

It is the same in the sense that two groups or nations have conflicting interests and this leads to violence, and once violence begins, the only important thing is to win, to crush the enemy so that he cannot attack you. It is already the fourth time that the Palestinians declare war on Israel, the normal thing in these cases is to be exterminated Israel now has only one thing in mind, show to it's enemies that attack them is a terrible mistake. That's the way to avoid more attacks, there is not another way

It's exactly the same, war. In all wars both thinks that they are absolutely right and they fight until death.

Imagine that you cut your finger. then actually cut your finger. Note that there are differences, you cannot make your finger grow back, it will remain cut as long as you live

When the US was at war with Japan, there was a time when Japan sought an honorable surrender, but the United States sought an unconditional surrender, since anything else would risk more war. The Japanese had the doctrine of 100 million dead, until a single Japanese lived, they would not surrender. The Americans, to force the surrender, bombed Tokyo with incendiary bombs, causing 100,000 deaths in a single day, and then they dropped an atomic bomb, and to clear up doubts, they dropped another. The Japanese, seeing the determination of the Americans, had to surrender. Then they became good friends and partner in business, same than the Germans and the British, who bombed hamburg and dresde without mercy. Same mercy than the Germans, or the Japanese, would show if they could In short, if you start a war, then don't complain when you have a war, you can surrender if you want

I think that scientists deal with their specific field and then each one will have their beliefs. If your job is genetics, you don't think about anything other than genetics, you don't care about who created the genes originally, but rather how to decipher and manipulate the genome. The same with anything else, but I believe that if you personally ask any biologist or astronomer they will tell you that they see divinity in the realities they study.

Most of scientist see that the reality is too perfect. Einstein and many others believe in god. Even Stephen hawkings who was atheist realized that the cosmos seems deliberate, his explanation was the multiverse, but with doubts.

Science should not be there, since it is on another plane, science is absolutely true, and does not attempt to explain the metaphysics of existence, only the behavior of matter.

Infinity is absolutely simple, it is the absence of limits. If the absence of limits is total, infinity perceives itself as absolutely empty, since it cannot be filled and everything into it fades until become nothingness. Its quality is that it exists, and perceiving itself as total existence is enlightenment. The forms are perceived as holograms without existence in themselves, but with the total depth of the unlimited. any other perception that is "more" is simply limited. nothing can be more than the total absence of limits

It is normal to die at any time, to think that being enlightened will free you from accidents or illness is not to be enlightened. sadhguru implied that due to his condition he was invulnerable and had control over his destiny. The lesson in humility has been serious. I'm sure he will recover and be the same again, but a little more humble and less full of fantasies , would be good

As I see It is a process that is underway and has a precise and perfect rhythm. I think it is obvious that the path is towards more conciousness, intelligence, solidarity and openness. If we were 100 years ago we would not be talking about spirituality but about politics, and 200 years ago we would be joining the Napoleonic army to demonstrate our virility in a cavalry charge, or chasing slaves. The human mechanism is of enormous, cosmic proportions. It is a movement in one direction, life always is. seeks greater complexity in its creation, perfect harmony at the highest possible level, but total destruction is always a possibility.

Depends. If the 8 billion humans were focused on getting out of the ego and seeking enlightenment, the world would collapse. the world needs the push it has to go in the direction it is going. To think that we are smarter than reality is to not see the whole picture

There are no false premises, we are the result of millions of years of evolution and what we have is absolute intelligence in action, and the ego is one of its most incredible works. To go from a rat hiding in its burrow to a being capable of sending artifacts to Mars in a few million years, millions of adjustments of absolute intelligence have been made. Fear is an indispensable ingredient, and all its derivatives, such as tribalism, greed, racism or war, have been essential. Without conflict the stew is not cooked, there would only be very peaceful and happy photosynthetic bacteria, but life pushes and its way of doing it is exactly what exists. If you want to be the master who knows the ego and deactivates it at will and identifies with total existence, you must understand what you are in a profound way, otherwise you will always be trapped. The game is merciless, its design is made to evolve or be crushed

The ego is absolutely necessary, and fear too, if it were not necessary, it would not exist. Maybe in the future humans will reach a level of development where the ego is unnecessary, then it will disappear. In reality nothing is by chance or defective. If all humans were like Ramana Maharshi, humanity would have become extinct. Fear is the whip of evolution, since life is war.

If you are awake, all that about being alone or if there are others is irrelevant, everything is forms of the absolute, the substance becomes relevant and the form goes into the background, you see perfection and intelligence flowing creating perfect forms. You are not alone since that is limited, everything is limitless, and its substance is unfathomable. The problem is that the psyche is very strong and again and again it will tip the balance towards the side of form, then the substance is lost from sight, everything becomes dark and perception is closed in and the energy becomes anxious, and the work to get out of the maze starts again.

Who sais that it's unnecessary? If absolutely all the humans have one.... maybe the design of the infinite intelligence is not so wrong

The ego is just a manifestation of the will of life to live. Same than the fangs in a tiger. The ego is as real as the fangs, and much more powerful

Yeah but unity doesn't mean one, one is limited, unity isn't

That's why guys like Hoffman who took LSD until old lived happy until he was 103, because he was in the present, there was no more for him.

The self is part of the human, genetically programed. all humans who have ever existed had a self, and there have been many. It's not imaginary, it's real, same than the memory. There are real energetic patterns, neural pathways as solid as bones.

That level of no ego would mean that you would not care if you lived or died, and there is always a preference for living, since otherwise you would not live.

Just as a plant does the things it does, a human thinks. The plant, based on its genetics and given the circumstances, decides to approach the light of a window. A human, based on his genetics and given the circumstances, thinks: I'm going for a walk because the weather is good. Thought is the manifestation of what the human is, and the human is a being adapted to its changing circumstance, the same as the plant, only the human's circumstance changes faster. The human self is a manifestation of the movement of existence that it means to be human, and just as an ant decides to go right or left due to its genetic programming and the sum of all circumstances and learning, a human does the same when think: I'm going to buy cocaine

If infinity is the case, there is no creator of reality. This is pure duality and false. In the infinite, creation is not necessary, since everything is. Infinity is in perpetual movement given its absence of limits, and that movement is the creation of forms. there is no will or cause, there is existence, but existence is intelligence because has no limits, so that movement is intelligent without limit
