You are always "one", even when you think that you aren't one, you are one.
You thinking that you aren't "one", is you being one.It's a way to talk, I mean that you are lost in the form, in energetic blockages made of fear that make your mind being in constant movement, projecting, imagining, remembering, searching. You should perceive them and see them directly in order to overcome them

Yes meditation , really opening of your being to the now. You said that you get total dissolution so for you seems easy. The point of enlightenment is Going beyond the void. It's quite simple really. First you are totally trapped in form, seemingly impassable energy layers that keep you creating mental structures from which it is impossible to escape. Each apparent exit leads you to other structures, and you get lost in them.
At a certain point, they dissolve. With meditation, psychedelics, whatever. Then you feel that reality is empty, indefinite, dead, unreal, since you are totally attached to the form. Then you intuit that in dissolution is the path you must follow, you pursue it and do it again and again, until for you the void begins to be something normal.
Then you realize that the void is full of you, you are that. What? You, reality, what is. Then you begin to open yourself to it, to its quality, its substance, and you see that form and formlessness are the same, that life and death are exactly the same, you are here, now, with your mind and your heart open to the totality, then you try to open yourself more and more, the path starts to be fluid
-
For me, spiritual practice begins by realizing that there are blockages in you and wanting to dissolve those blockages. Blockage is everything that separates you from being one with reality, with yourself, everything that separates you. All the fear and all the mental barriers that you have created throughout your life. You must ardently desire to break them and be one with yourself, whatever that is. You are not looking for God, or love, or happiness, or freedom, you are looking to be one with yourself. You don't know what that is, but it doesn't matter, whatever it is, it is you, and you open yourself. How? Your intuition tells you the way. Don't believe anything else.

If there was ever a slim chance of Ukraine staying by Russia’s side before all this, that chance is now gone and Ukraine will want to move more close to the West than ever
Yes I guess that after this would be impossible and Ukraine would be totally independent and isolated from Russia but without the dombass. But with the Slavs who knows. Now Chechenia and Putin are good friends

It's important being a man learn how to deal with those attitudes. There are several possibilities, but there is one indispensable condition: you must be completely sure of yourself and be able to maintain a firm position whatever it may be. Normally, aggressive attitudes are manifestations of insecurity, sublimated fear. You have to put empathy aside and set limits. At first, this is difficult and one tends to be aggressive, which is why fights occur, but aggressiveness is always weakness. Firmness is strength. All the aggressiveness you show in a conflict is strength that you lose, strength must remain behind an insurmountable barrier, not go forward. Bringing strength forward is aggressiveness, keeping strength in your center is firmness. Then you will act as it's necessary by instinct without loose control, that is the worse that could happen, control is the key, then you can perceive the weakness of the other and control him

57 minutes ago, Apparition of Jack said:@Breakingthewall And what of the people of Ukraine? Clearly their lives are just Putin’s to sacrifice however he wishes, right?
The conflict between Ukraine and Russia is complex and comes from a long time ago. Anti-Russian sentiment in Ukraine is deep and the powers interested in war have known how to use it. Ukraine allied itself with Hitler in the war against the Russians, Stalin cut off supplies to Ukraine and caused the so-called Holodomor, a famine where 2 to 12 million Ukrainians died (depending on the sources), with the purpose of repopulating part of Ukraine with Russians (Dombass). All this is fertile ground for war. Khrushchev, in order to try to unite Russia with Ukraine, gave Crimea to Ukraine, like a gift, according to him this way they would never separate... all extremely complicated. In this climate, the United States is working hard to promote the coup d'état of 2014, and after this, heat up the atmosphere for war. Putin did not want war, he wanted a subordinate Ukraine, not a Ukraine led by anti-Russian ultra-nationalists with nuclear weapons, obviously. Putin is strategically minimizing attacks on civilians, despite Ukrainian provocations, since his ultimate goal is an allied Ukraine.

This is interesting. They found a diary of a N. Korean soldier recently, which details how this soldier was sent as punishment to Ukraine for some kind of wrong doing. Apparently being sent to Ukraine can be a form om punishment in N. Korea.
Quote from the diary: "I was raised in the nurturing embrace of the Party, studying without concern for anything in the world. There is more unknown love than love that is known and accepted. I didn’t know how to react to the happiness I was surrounded by.
Defending the homeland is the sacred duty of every citizen, and the greatest duty is to protect the nation, which is where my happiness lies. I wear the military uniform of revolution to protect the Supreme Commander-in-Chief. I was honoured with the opportunity to be promoted to sergeant major in my company. However, I betrayed my beloved Party, which had placed its trust in me, and committed acts of ingratitude against the Supreme Commander-in-Chief.
The sins I’ve committed are unforgivable, but my homeland has given me a chance for redemption, a fresh start in life.
Now, I have no choice but to regain the trust I once had. I will go to the front lines in this operation and obey the orders of Supreme Commander Kim Jong Un without question, even if it costs me my life. I will show the world the invincible courage and sacrifice of the Red Special Forces (Red Commanders) of Kim Jong Un.
When we win the war and return to our homeland, I will submit a petition to the Party."
The diary also details how N. Koreans combat drones via live bait, using one soldier as live bait while two others track the drone with guns.
Ukraine estimates that N. Korean causalties already exceeds 3000.
This sounds totally invented. Are there the Koreans? Sounds like fantasy

Just now, Sugarcoat said:I experienced an ~almost~ total loss of self and it was like an ~almost~ total loss of reality, so I assumed the ~total~ loss of self would be a total loss of reality, that’s what inspired this post.
You have to experience the total loss of self more and get used to it to realize the absolute, which is the total reality. That's the thing about enlightenment, nothing else

All your discussing about this and that and feeling like what you’re discussing is real. Are you really ready to give up your entire reality? Because that is what you give up if you give up your self.
Yes because in the no form is everything that is in the form. Your mother, your friends, all your thoughts, and more: all that can be. everything it's in the total no form, the death, it's home.

On 26/12/2024 at 2:12 PM, AION said:Ukraine has been used as a pawn for US grand strategy. Soon they will be forced to surrender. And they lost thousands of men + land and they haven't gotten any security deals. What a massive failure.
Depends, all European countries have significantly increased their arms budget, which is a success for some, and Russian gas hardly circulates to Europe. Another success for some. And well, hunter Biden was the director of burisma, the biggest company of Ukrainian gas, but it's has no relationship at all with his father and the war, it's conspiracy 🤣🤣

1 hour ago, Buck Edwards said:Has the war helped Putin in any way?
In many ways. The American objective is to weaken Russia and, if possible, to fragment it. The 2014 coup in Ukraine removes a pro-Russian government and puts in place an anti-Russian one. One of its first manifestations is to elevate Spephan Bandera to the category of national hero, having been pro-Nazi and the organizer of the extermination of Jews in Ukraine, and to initiate hostilities with the Russian-speaking part of Ukraine. In this climate, Crimea, inhabited by more than 70% Russians, decides to call a referendum to join Russia which wins by a wide margin with observers from more than 20 countries, after that Russia army entered in Crimea and it's annexed. Referendums are also held in the cities of Dombass, Donersk and Lugansk with similar results. A civil war begins in which the Azov battalion, of Nazi ideology and led by the former leader of the hooligans Dynamo of kyiv 😅 constantly bombs the Russian population in a war that no one talks about that lasts 8 years.
During this time, American military aid continues to arrive, greatly strengthening the Ukrainian army, which continues to attack the Russian population and build fortifications. In addition, 5 virus research laboratories are built near the American bases. After 8 years of pressure, it is announced that Ukraine will join NATO, with the possibility (certainty) of having nuclear weapons. In addition, the Ukrainian program includes the recovery of Crimea, and the Dombass is an area of enormous agricultural and mineral wealth. When the red line (widely accepted by anyone who knows politics) of Ukraine and NATO is crossed, Russia has two options: react or curl up in bed crying, that is, recognize that it is not a power but is impotent.
Russia attacks as we know and Biden uncorks the champagne because he thinks this will be his ruin. Ukraine is ready to fight and has inexhaustible weapons, and Russia is a sick giant that will demonstrate its weakness and go bankrupt economically. This does not happen, Russia, as other times, slowly wakes up. Russian ammunition factories work at an inexhaustible and growing pace, the alliance with China is strengthened, and in addition, by demonstrating its strength it begins to replace England and France as allies of African countries in need of military aid, to Macron's despair. Biden remains happy since the US is coming out of the crisis, all of Europe increases its share of the defense budget, great American business, and the Nord Stream is destroyed, so Germany must buy expensive American gas and enters into recession. Fuck the Europeans! But Russia rises as an indisputable military power ready for real war. America, do you dare to send 100,000 young people to their death? Russia yes. China is getting stronger and its alliance with Russia is solid. The military balance is shifting. The power is now in Russia. It seems banal, but it is not at all. And Putin is hailed as the most important leader in the world and his support in Russia is total. Who wins? Seems that not USA, even it has been a huge business
Watch in YouTube the documentary ucraine in fire, Oliver stone 2016, much before the war, it contains interview to Putin and to the former president of ucraine. I know that Oliver stone is controversial and inclined to one side, but it's a great introduction in this topic. This topic reveals the magnitude of the lie of the western press, it's incredible.

@Nilsi biden is the architect of the ucranian war, with Victoria Nuland. They provoked the coup, the Euro Maidan, and armed the Ukrainian army. When this was about to happen, they declared that Ukraine was going to join NATO. All politicians knew that this was impossible for Russia to accept and that it would lead to war. One of the Bidens objetive was the nord Stream, that was destroyed immediately. I recommend the documentary Ukraine on Fire, 2016, Oliver stone, or the recent interview with Angela Merkel. Biden Nobel price....well. Btw, his drug addict son become millionaire being ceo of an ucranian gas company . Btw, I guess that you have listen the famous sentence: "fuck the Europeans", from Victoria Nuland right? Ask the Germans if they are fucked enough

8 hours ago, NewKidOnTheBlock said:@Nilsi What you're saying is what we are forced to do. We are forced to "reconcile our differences" and "search for compromises and optimal solutions" with objectively inferior countries. It would just be ideal if they had not existed. I am all for multilateral world but it should ideally be a world in which there are no dictatorships or any such non-straight versions of goverments. There should only be democracies or meritocracies
Please. You believe all the American narrative. Yes, would be ideal that al were your slaves. Ideal for you, of course, for them maybe not so. "Inferior"🤣. The ideal would be a world ruled by enlightened saints like Dick Cheney and Victoria Nuland, where all the countries would be grateful to the lobby of weapons investing half of its GDP in pink American weapons so you can have 4 cars and weigh 200 kg

9 hours ago, Nilsi said:Putin has made it abundantly clear, in speeches and interviews like his bizarre sit-down with Tucker Carlson, that for him, this is about much more.
Imo all that talk about that Ukraine was Russian in the past is one way of justifying the permanent annexation of the Dombass. The other option would be to say that the Dombass is Russian because Stalin starved the original population to death and repopulated it with Russians, and this reason does not seem very legitimate. The case of Crimea is similar, it was neither Russian nor Ukrainian, but Ottoman, populated by Tatars, who were deported by Stalin and repopulated by Russians. What to do? Give it back to the Tatars? Give it to Ukraine, with its aggressive nationalism and anti-Russian sentiment? Or annex it with all the enormous advantages that this entails? Putin's actions are logical and simple, he is not a megalomaniac nor does he want to restore the Soviet Union, he wants to strengthen and preserve Russia, which is under constant American threat. Russia is an ancient country that has fought many enemies successfully, and it seems that it intends to continue doing so.

9 hours ago, Nilsi said:The problem is that this may not be the case at all. There is a stark difference between Lavrov’s claims - which largely revolve around strategic objectives like ensuring Ukraine never joins NATO and possibly securing parts of the Donbas with strong Russian national identity - and Putin’s far more expansive ambitions. Putin has made it abundantly clear, in speeches and interviews like his bizarre sit-down with Tucker Carlson, that for him, this is about much more. He envisions reinstating a "great Russian empire," one that includes all of Ukraine, which he sees as illegitimately torn away from Russia through a series of historical "injustices."
There is very clear evidence of this internal rift within the Russian government: Lavrov’s continued assurances to Blinken that an invasion was off the table, along with his admission of the strategic disaster such an operation would entail, even as U.S. intelligence confirmed its imminence, speaks volumes. In a functioning government, such blatant disconnect would be unthinkable.
Putin appears to be far more radical than most commentators give him credit for. His personal ideology and grand ambitions go well beyond the pragmatic concerns of most Russian officials, making meaningful negotiations not just difficult but potentially impossible.
That's not real at all in my opinion. First, Lavrov is simply Putin's subordinate. Second, Putin invades Ukraine after 8 years of bombings by the Azov battalion on the Russian population in Dombass. Dombass wants to be Russian and annexation is possible. Ukraine will never be Russian and that is obvious, and even less so after this war.
If Putin had wanted to, he would have destroyed Ukraine like Chechnya, but that has not happened. This is a war for Dombass and to secure Crimea, two strategic places with enormous resources. The only thing Putin has done is to prevent the American project of balkanization and predation of Russia.

2 minutes ago, Leo Gura said:There's way more at stake than that.
Ukraine would need future security gurantees and Russia will want guarantees of not joining NATO.
I guess that those guarantees are implicit. Ukraine knows that if it joins NATO it will have war, Ukraine knows that Russia has restrained itself in its attacks. It knows that there could be another level of war where kyiv ends up like Gaza in a week. And Russia knows that attacking Ukraine has a huge cost, and is also unnecessary if the borders remain as they want. Russia will fortify the Dombass in such a way that it will be unrecoverable, and the borders will remain fixed for a long time.

The dialogue is very easy: do you give me the dombass? Yes. Ok.

Just now, Nivsch said:@Breakingthewall It is impossible to evacuate 100K people this is why the negotations were on areas replacement as a compensation to areas that cant be given. For me it sounds fair and moral if it wil be done.
Well, it could be. Let's be confident in that at the end the Jews are going to show that they are high level people showing respect to their adversaries, not just hate. Probably this hope is naive but who knows, I think that Jews cannot lower themselves by acting like everyone else, they are supposed to be the chosen people, right? Let's see if it shows.

7 hours ago, gettoefl said:These are good insights. Let me try to tease out how I see the relationship between consciousness and the absolute in more detail.
I also intuit that consciousness is receptive in that it perceives and manifests facets of what is already there. Also consider this: consciousness functions as the lens through which the infinite is translated into finite form. Yes It does not create in the absolute sense, but it does shape how the absolute appears within the framework of perception. In this sense, consciousness is the mechanism by which the absolute - formless and whole - is sliced and diced into the world of distinctions, dualities, and phenomena.
Regarding the absolute blackness that you mention: in the total dissolution, there is indeed everything, but not in any defined form. It is whole, unified, and outside perception. Consciousness, like you say, does not create this “everything,” but it certainly “lights it up” and gives it definable aspects that let it be experienced as separate entities or phenomena. Yet this act of defining makes it illusory because the fragmented pieces it perceives are not the whole truth - they are finite representations of an infinite reality.
In this sense, consciousness might be regarded as a tool of limitation, a way for what is infinite to appear finite, making the absolute seem "graspable" to the limited perceiver. And because of this, it is deeply tied to the ego’s function: to define, separate, and make distinctions. The ego, working through consciousness, renders the undivided whole into parts, allowing the absolute to appear as a world of experience.
So, while consciousness is not creative in the sense of inventing something new, it is “constructive” in how it filters and shapes the absolute into the appearance of form. And it is this filtering that keeps us from fully knowing ourselves as the whole. Only by going beyond consciousness - the ego’s tool - can we glimpse the totality and rest in the absolute truth of what we are.
Great! yes, in each fragment is the whole. consciousness is the manifestation of form through perception, but the idea that consciousness is essential for existence is wrong. existence is absolute and does not need to be conscious of itself to be. the mind cannot understand this because the mind is consciousness, and can only imagine consciousness, that is why it is said that the tao that can be named, or thought, is not the true tao. the true tao opens in you and you open to it, and you really are that. but the relative you is consciousness, which is structured in the duality of perceiver/perception
