That is a clear sign that something serious is happening to you. you should seek help

I will check That's what it seems on the surface, but the reality is that the US presses until the rope breaks, see for example Oliver Stone's documentary Ukraine in Flames. It is true that he is a very biased guy, but still.

That's true. I'm trying to understand US foreign policy, but it's difficult. It seems stupid but probably it is most likely a search for profit and influence. the same in ukraine, very difficult to understand

@Nabd Yes, but after the first war Iraq did not was a threat, much less than Iran today, and even so it was invaded without any apparent benefit for the US, only problems and imbalance in the are. It doesn't seem like there was a sufficient reason for something as serious as that invasion. Is it possible that it was just stupidity mixed with the ambitions of the weapons manufacturers?

Why US had this objective? It seems that it was something arbitrary, although it surely was not like that.

It depends, many Iraqis are happy that Saddam was overthrown. The Taliban regime can hardly be worse, it is like a dystopia. Unfortunately the Afghans were unable to establish a solid government and returned as soon as the United States left.

Quite short, What is difficult, or impossible, is to keep a country occupied for decades. but the two regimes fell very quickly.

foreign policy of the US and NATO in general is very difficult to understand. I suppose the reality is that there is only one motivation: economic benefit. any other consideration is irrelevant

Yeah you have to be able to decide when everything is done and relax, even in great danger, but not before exhausting all possibilities

I think the word "enlightened" is something else. something for example like one of those guys in India who is sitting staring into space, drooling, his entire being a total openness to the essence of reality, to the limitless wild glory that existence is. a guy without any resistance, practically transparent, with almost nothing human, indifferent to life and death, incapable of articulating a structured thought, who would die of hunger if he was not fed. What we try is to have a 1% openness to be able to function as humans without falling into the neurosis of attachment to mental structures. May be with meditation and psychedelics we achieve fleeting openings that leave us with a big smile and get us used to being able to face naked existence without terror.

If that is the meaning of worrying for you, then okay, but being obsessed with a problem for a few days means that all your processing capacity is dedicated to it and with that the possibilities of a solution increase. You just have to know how to stop when you've done everything possible, but many people are very lazy and stop worrying before their time because it's more comfortable to live without that shit on your mind, that way you can dedicate yourself to the things you like, and then shit falls on them

I think self deception is a misconception. That story of: I am God but I deceive myself to have a fun experience seems completely wrong to me. This is not how reality works, God is not a guy who gets bored and does fun things, he is a primordial force, he is the result of the absence of limits that makes the infinite, and manifests in infinite cycles of existence. There is no self-deception, there is limitation due to the need to focus on the concrete. Spirituality is defocusing on the concrete, opening up to the formless.

Most people do not function like robots, in a Google office with a ball pool, calmly addressing conflicts, but rather we function on impulses, and worry is an impulse that must be listened to. Worry is approaching a situation from a negative point of view, that is, out of fear that something you don't want will happen. If you have a business and you are worried about being robbed for example, you obsessively search for a solution. If there is no worries, you normally react weakly, late and poorly.

You don't think there will be war and that the United States will change the Iranian regime? I'm sure it would be a very short war. Iranians hate their regime

They are united by a common adversary. Russia tries to survive and rise, the same as everyone else, and reaches out to whoever suits it. but I don't think Russia would help Iran in case of war

@Nabd I suppose they know how far they can go without the United States and Israel attack them. If they are close to having nuclear weapons they will be bombed

@Nabd What do you think are Iran's real strategic objectives? It's something mysterious to me

Worry is a useful tool. Obsessively focusing on a problem is the prelude to creative solutions.

Do you think that young Israelis would fight in a war like, for example, the Russians and Ukrainians? For me this is an enigma, I can't imagine Europeans doing that, although perhaps when the time came they would do it. battles with thousands of deaths every day, mutilations, etc.

My way of doing it is to focus on the now, to realize that this, now, is the limitless reality, which it is. In order to do this sober I have had to do psychedelics hundreds of times, because the mental inertia was very powerful. It immediately draws you in, makes you see your life as a timeline, with lots of things that should be different, all that makes us neurotic. If you stick to the now, it opens, you enter a state of flow. Let's say that the content of the experience becomes irrelevant and what really becomes relevant is existence itself, the unlimited depth of this moment. I remember the first time I entered that state, it was like: I'm trapped, there is only this, the eternal present, I will never get out of here, it's a prison. horror. but then you realize that this moment has no limits, it is the opposite of a prison, it is total freedom. Entering a state of flow outside of the structured mind does not mean that you are accessing mystical states of consciousness. those states may or may not occur. It simply means that you have come out of the misunderstanding into which the human mind falls. From here, real mysticism can begin, or not, and simply enjoy human life.

Jihadists act only out of hatred and to go to paradise, but their leaders are strategists. I would say that the objective is to provoke a great massacre of Palestinians that unites and radicalizes the Islamic world and stop the conversations with the Saudis. one more step in the large-scale jihad by which its leaders live while enjoying luxuries in rich countries, and also earn points to enjoy privileged positions in paradise when they die. According to them, Allah wants this, it is written clearly in the Koran, and disobedience is punishable by hell.

I don't think that reality makes a deliberate act of self-deception to forget its nature, rather it seems that reality produces levels of consciousness for each function spontaneously. The basic reality, without structure, is total infinity, which manifests itself with deep meditation, psychedelics, 5meo, etc. This reality is not aware of anything defined, it is pure existence that occurs due to the absence of limits. From this reality, levels of consciousness emerge that are conscious and define increasingly complex patterns. For example, the level of consciousness that creates a human brain is not the same that creates atomic structures. they are all ultimately the same, but are virtually separated into levels. The level of consciousness that I am right now, the self, has the function of managing this human organism, but it cannot access the atomic structures, even everything is related. The level of consciousness from which we function can expand and deepen, and can temporarily merge with total consciousness, but it is in a specific dimension and always returns to it. The question is how far this level can be expanded and deepened, how much it can understand.

This is something that is difficult for me to see. who understands the reality? What is understanding? Let's see, at this moment you or anything that exists is creating itself, there is no external agent. That is, everything that we are, the quadrillion atoms each in its exact place, that perfect pattern, I am making it, reality, but there is an I, the one that is now trying to see deeper, that is not conscious. to do that and it couldn't even remotely be. You might think, well, it just happens by itself, nature, you know... but no, this organized perfection is creating itself now. If it is doing it, it is because it is perfectly aware of doing it, otherwise it would be impossible. Where is this infinite consciousness? because it seems it is outside of this experience, hidden. where is? It would be said that there are two selves, one that is the one that now perceives itself and that tries to open itself to this moment, merge with the now, and another, the total now without limit that creates itself. Everything that lives and is aware of itself as a being has this duplicity. To be aware of oneself as a being, one must have senses, pain, hunger. Thus reality doubles, and in the human case, it seems to triple. on the one hand the total reality creating this now, this structure, on the other the separate being that feels pain and hunger, and above it the entity without substance that thinks, the mind fed by the collective with language, which creates a temporal vision of its existence, a story. This mind must first be able to become one with the being that feels pain and hunger now, with the life that is. Some call this enlightenment, or non-duality, but where is true consciousness? the infinite consciousness that creates the now? That what would be called god, the total intelligence that flows. To what extent can the self be conscious of God, or one with God? Does anyone know this or has known it in human history? I don't think so

Sure ,but it's been 100 years and there are millions. You have to be realistic and look for possible solutions just look at history, I'm not saying they don't have motives, just that they are hostile. The first terrorist attack was in 1920, since then, without pause

everything is very simple. If you are a Jew, the Israelis are right, and if you are a Muslim, the Muslims are right. But things are not like that, if Israel gives the Palestinians the right to vote and they win the elections, then they would expel the Israelis. the Palestinians are hostile to the Israelis from the beginning. It is not a question of whether they are right or not, it is a question of facts and looking at things objectively.
