It seems that according to the actualized philosophy, there can be nothing outside of your consciousness, which is the only consciousness, and from there follows the logical consequence that others do not exist. for me this is a simplistic line of thought, but who knows

yes, the logical conclusion is reached that the universe is something you are imagining, and that there is only you, and you are also imagining yourself. well, this is a first step to understand that there is no separation between you and others, it is all the same. seeing that there is no separation between anything, the need to think and define a concept decreases, since it becomes evident that thinking is part of the dream, it cannot encompass more than the dream and also only serves to separate you/not you. so it remains to flow, feel the moment, capture the mystery of what it is, leaving language behind as something archaic. leave the silicon processor and start using the quantum

Man you don't understand nothing. It's not about any of that, the goal here is to show how smart you are, and that I'm deeper than you (poor guy). with the time you've been here you should have learned it

you seek because you are a tangle of confusion. the search makes the knots undo, the attachments relax. you begin to flow more than to search, and when flowing the limits dissolve

narc is a label, but yes, something like that. the narc cannot be healed because at the core of his being there is a huge bleeding wound. it is a being made of pure anxiety. but I guess he could be cured if he really wants to. a narc like what I have seen has a very short life, the effort to maintain it is tremendous, you have to put up with that performance with various addictions, self-deception all the time without relaxing for a second, etc. a true curse for those who suffer from it. Growing up with something like this close by fills you with fear, confusion, with barriers, with insecurity, but courage is against fear, so at the end can be an advantage. Even the animals of the house got crazy and they had to be euthanized within a year, but the dog loved him. the problem with the narc is that it can inspire love. They occupies all the space, and it hurts you without you realizing it. It's like those insects that inoculate you with an anesthetic to be able to suck your blood. you are granted the privilege of being close to the great sun, in exchange for surrendering your self-esteem... vampirism ?

@Loba bpd is pure love compared to the horrible narc (bpd are very difficult people too of course, i had a gf). i think that even if i were fully enlightened, like buddha or more, i will always retain some of the sadness of having a narc twisting my life since childhood. poor narcs, they are the most unfortunate beings of creation, strange, crazy, vampire of love, aggressive, harmful. having a narc father is quite an adventure, getting out of the labyrinth, an achievement

a reflection on loneliness: when you socialize, do you seek to impress? Are you looking to provoke a reaction in the other? assert yourself? If so, you are a beggar. It is very possible that loneliness surrounds you, or that you surround yourself with other beggars in need of approval, and you feel more alone than alone. if what you are looking for is to give, open up, share, flow... people will look for you. and contacts with people, even brief, will erase your loneliness.

Agree, you realize that the self is an entity created by thought as soon as thought ceases, but when this happens, you become aware of something else, since the self continues to exist to be aware, albeit in the background. the immeasurable, the unthinkable, manifests itself, and you realize that this is you (always from the illusory self), and I suppose that you will be able to realize more things. enlightenment happens to the self, because if there were no self, there would simply be enlightenment, no one to be enlightened to. So, to say that the self does not exist is not exact, since somehow it does exist. we are talking here right? better understand what it is: memory, thought, time.

the important thing is that you are 100% true, the rest is secondary

it's a way of saying it

Agree, the self is illusion, a mental construction, but enlightenment is not only knowing what is not real, it is about realizing what is... because you are, right? So, what are you?

time appears when form appears. if the form disappears, there is no time and the form never occurred. will there be more forms? It seems that yes, since now there seems to be. but the forms are nothing more than thoughts that appear and disappear.

the source of thought is the desire for survival, and its effect is the separation between you and what is not you. thinking is a separating activity. if you stop thinking, the separation disappears, but you cannot do it because you need that separation to feel safe. if you stop thinking the self disappears, and that produces panic. To achieve this, a profound reeducation is necessary. it must be understood that the self is a fictitious entity created by thought. the problem is that the one who has to understand it and let go of the self is the self itself

reality is infinite, you have already dreamed of infinite perspectives, you are dreaming them right now, you are going to dream them...it is the same. now. infinite.

Beautiful

meditating for 40 minutes non stop, even if it is a noisy meditation, greatly reduces the compulsion to seek stimulation at every moment. it is a matter of accustoming the mind. the phone does the opposite of meditation, it makes you addicted. It's not a profound matter, just mechanical

@Jannes It's not ridiculous at all. the ego exists for something. you have to understand its root, its mechanics, in a profound way, beyond the conceptual. if not the ego will always have power. for the ego to lose its poison, you have to perceive yourself as not separate. you have already tasted the freedom to deactivate the ego, this can give you the motivation to go deep within yourself, and clarify the enigma of the ego

@Jannes beautiful post, very well expressed. I think that what you experienced is the liberation of the ego, when you realize that you are perceiving reality through a lens that values, compares, judges. removing that lens is removing a sack of lead from your back. you are liberated, everything is perfect, and love flows in you. the problem is that the lens returns and the bag too, perhaps a little lighter but this, since the logic of the ego is irrefutable: here you are, there is everything else, therefore... you have to be at the height, furthermore, you are a temporary process, a resume that must be completed...this vision inevitably leads to a return to the ego. then, the only solution is to really see that there is no you and others. you are the others, but not in a thoughtful way, with empathy towards others. no, it's that literally, them and everything else, you're not you, you're the whole dream that seems to be unfolding, and you see it in real time all the time. and you can still go further, although that for me are just glimpses in psychedelics: you are the unlimited void in which everything exists, pure joy without limit. And according to Leo, you can go even deeper and understand how you are creating this dream and why

there is a lot of talk about the threat of having nuclear missiles on the border. What is the difference if they are launched from Germany, or from a submarine? if you start with atomic weapons, doesn't matter , game over

I think the only threat is to their pride, but I would say that for the Russians that is very important

You are right man, i have let myself be carried away by prejudices and by opinions elaborated in a day. Totally stupid an arrogant. Yesterday i didn't know who is zelenski, insulting him without knowing is stupid. Ashamed once more for my emphasis. I apologize

I'm not saying it's Ukraine's fault, if it seems that way I apologize to any Ukrainian who read this. I think I don't understand enough to give an opinion so emphatically believing I'm soooo smart. it's just stupid pub discussion. apologies and I return to the spirituality forum, politics is for those who are more interested

This is the president....i think that's how disasters happen

zelenski is a kind of retarded idiot who until two days ago was a comedy actor and made a program in which he appeared with two Uzis shooting to corrupt politicians. an incompetent narcissist who with his statements and actions has provoked this conflict. ukraine has been independent for 8 years and it seemed that russia was going to swallow its pride, but this clown wanted to play the little napoleon with incendiary statements and gestures that russia cannot tolerate without giving up all its pride. playing the game of the us, eager to sell weapons and look for an enemy to unite its population, now that the islamists don't even scare children. biden from the beginning used hostile rhetoric against putin, very interested in having an enemy, but that the blows are given to others as always. it is the problem of democracy, that circus clowns like trump and zelensky can come to power. It's time to pay for blindness and incompetence . if you only want to see your point of view, without nuances, without trying to understand the Russian point of view without demonizing it, I don't know why speak it

wonderful and exciting read man, almost like a psychedelic trip
