Oppositionless

This reminds me of my experience with Monroe Sound Science. It supercharges meditation to have the sounds playing with earbuds in.

What's the benefit to activating kundalini?

Blasphemy only makes sense if you believe in objective morality. Well I think it's rather clear God doesn't have morality, I mean look at this place . If you were God would you create a world where beings had to eat other beings just to survive? So you're not offending God when you question.

Lots of people on this forum have said shambhavi mahamudra (technique taught by sadhguru in the inner engineering program) is the best substitute for psychedelics .

I think our disagreement was purely semantic. I was equating unconsciousness with consciousness, as a deeper layer of consciousness. I'm essentially saying consciousness and unconsciousness are of the same substance , unconsciousness is just consciousness without content. the unconscious aspect of capital c Consciousness is the self-organizing, intelligent aspect of Consciousness. Awareness is the result of the unconscious "divine algorithm" that plays out prior to awareness.

Consciousness both is the absolute and is not fully conscious of itself. There is a structure but it's beyond what physics has been able to study . Cosmopsychism ? A variation of it.

I'd argue that death isn't a real possibility . When you sleep you don't experience nothingness. You wake up instantly . No time at all passes, there's just a seamless continuity. If the Absolute didn't already possess consciousness as part of its nature, there would be no consciousness as such. It's not something that arises as a consequence of a series of cause and effect trickling from the Absolute, it's already present.

Meditation isn't about not thinking. You're letting the dust settle so that genuine insight can come in,.

Nothing is what you get when you realize that space and time are imagined by consciousness, leading to the understanding that reality occurs no where at all without beginning or end. nothingness is the source of everything, nothingness is infinity, nothingness is God.

We don't know. But I don't think materialism gets away from the issue. Why is the material world so consistent? It's not obvious at all why materiality leads to consistency. for instance, there could be a higher meta-law of physical reality that causes the laws of physics in this universe to change every 10 years .

Technically materialism doesn't postulate any of the things science has discovered. All it postulates is a certain view of what those things are. what you said about nothing being the source of something is what I was trying to get at with my ninth and final argument. "Something" exists within nothing. Therefore it isn't really "something", it's nothing . But it's also still something. So materialism false .

It's hard to say whether this counts because I wasn't conscious of it, but my dad saw my "astral body" once. He said he saw me standing in the doorway of his bedroom, and when he reached for the light "I" disappeared and immediately woke up crying upstairs.

I remember back in the old days I loved Elliot, bought his book and stuff like that. He's the one who got me into my first spiritual practice (breath work). It's a real shame. And makes me suspicious of all "spiritual people."

Imagine a finite physical universe . It has nothing outside of it. Not empty space, but metaphysical nothingness. How could such a universe exist? Have you ever encountered a physical object with nothing outside of it? For something to be physical it must take up space, and must have other objects outside of it. an infinite physical universe seems like it could resolve the paradox, but it doesn't, physical objects can't be infinite. Because infinity can't be counted, can't be made physical . therefore physical reality is not really physical but an idea of consciousness.

Do you think God can be proved through logic? Or just awakening? I had an existential crisis watching an atheist YouTuber recently, I tried to mentally go through my logical reasons for believing in God again and they all seemed to fall flat, and I think the problem is my arguments aren't supported by a direct consciousness.

Thank you.

You're not wrong. Ive spent too much energy telling myself I'm helpless, a passenger. Time to take ownership realizing I have infinite will.

What I willed is endless suffering and making the same mistakes constantly I guess. but I think I understand somewhat. I dunno, I just really want to be better. But maybe I don't want it as much as I want to stay the same. Because the suffering is its own kind of comfort . I don't know how to have a desirable social life without fucking myself with addictions and hangovers

How can I be different? My argument for free will Cause and effect is a material process You are not a material process, you are outside of cause and effect But you are also not the doer So in a paradoxical sense, free will exists but there isn't a "you" to have free will

Pain.

Why did you allow me to love so deeply only to have it all taken from me?

I wonder if it's possible to use telekinesis to seduce women

I actually love the entry for actualised . Org, it's clear cut and to the point . What I've learned is that I'm subject to fate . But I can also STOP whenever I want. That's a very new development thanks to ralston

God is absolute stillness, he doesn't need to worry about minor details. That's one aspect of God, you're God, and you're conscious of yourself.
