Moksha

Experiential insights, like those in psychedelics, are indirect and tend to further ensnare awareness in the illusion of its imagination. They become ends unto themselves. Only direct realization sets you free. The power of insight: How psychedelics solicit false beliefs Psychedelics are increasingly recognised for their therapeutic potential and ability to re-orient belief structures. However, the potential they carry for inducing false insights and beliefs has thus far been under-considered. Here, we outline the first cohesive model of how psychedelics induce false insights and thence beliefs, leveraging findings from cognitive psychology and computational neuroscience. Being able to explain and understand how psychedelics solicit false beliefs is crucial if we are to optimally leverage their apparent therapeutic potential.

Socrates was the most honest of philosophers. At least he admitted that the human mind can't grok god. God knows itself, even while pretending to hide and seek itself.

The genius of being a genius is that nobody can understand what you're saying well enough to disprove it Gödel was just pointing out that even genius mathematicians can't agree on a common set of assumptions. So not only is the body of knowledge built on a shaky foundation of unprovable assumptions, but the foundation itself constantly shifts. In other words, Socrates was right about knowing that we know nothing. Absolute knowledge is only directly realized. It's beyond the capacity of any conceptual mind (human, alien, or god) to comprehend.

Within the dream, causes and effects are inescapable. Even when you see the dream for what it is, you are still part of the causal chain. Your role reverses, according to the direction of your gaze. Looking inward, you become free. Instead of reacting, realization allows you to respond. It sparks a chain reaction of the absolute loving itself within its dream. @Yimpa Waking up is where the dream gets good, you still have the inward journey to enjoy

Enlightenment correlates with truth, until it becomes it.

Realize the essence that bridges nothing and everything.

Mathematics is a language which, when exhausted, eventuates in silence. Axioms are so relative. Gödel's incompleteness theorems are two theorems of mathematical logic that demonstrate the inherent limitations of every formal axiomatic system capable of modelling basic arithmetic. These results, published by Kurt Gödel in 1931, are important both in mathematical logic and in the philosophy of mathematics. The theorems are widely, but not universally, interpreted as showing that Hilbert's program to find a complete and consistent set of axioms for all mathematics is impossible.

Socialization is suffering. It depends upon the delusion that you are different from others. When the absolute realizes itself, the idea of socialization dissolves. There's only integrity.

The unveiled absolute defines, free from identification. It creates, without getting lost in its creation. It lucidly imagines, without surrendering to its imagination.

@StarStruck Slavery is meaning imposed by the outside. Freedom is meaning arising from within. @Breakingthewall If freedom was easy, everyone would already be free. My response to @Carl-Richard was on the level of the absolute within its dream. When it awakens, it is no longer externally bound by its imagination. It is liberated to create meaning within itself. Instead of being distracted by the outside, focus is directed from within.

?Meaning is whatever awareness attends. Most of us live our lives reactively, defined by the meaning imposed on us by others. We may be miserable, but it is a simple path that absolves us from finding meaning within. Freedom can be frightening. People insist that they want freedom, but allow themselves to be externally defined. Freedom is internal responsibility. Freedom is procreational. Freedom is the essence of god.

Compliments and criticisms are so relatively true ?

Meditate. It will deepen your awareness, and unveil thoughts as external phenomena desperately needing to draw your attention. When you see them truly, they lose their hypnotic charm.

You created the dream for a reason. Survival allows you to stay within the dream, while spirituality allows you to lucidly enjoy it. Each serves the purpose of the absolute.

Morality is the human attempt to mandate relative love. It's helpful, but no longer necessary when absolute love realizes itself.

You would benefit from "10% Happier: How I Tamed the Voice in My Head", by Dan Harris. It's a pragmatic, science-based approach to the benefits of meditation. Maybe it is the first domino toward happiness deeper than 10%.

Being in nature can be deeply grounding. Some of my earliest memories of connection with source occurred in nature. Go for it, as long as your purpose is to enjoy the journey, rather than attaching some condition of enlightenment upon completing it. If you are conscious, each step will be its own reward.

It doesn't work because even when you realize you're god, you are still limiting yourself to experiencing imagination through a particular form. There isn't a form on the planet (or in the entire cosmos) capable of fully channeling the glory of god. Forms are capacitors for consciousness. Some have much greater capacity than others, but none of them has infinite capacity.

It's even simpler. Everything that happens is the will of god. Whose will would it otherwise be? Everything that exists is an expression of the infinite will of God. Nobody has infinite power, because nobody is real. You don't become god, you are god, and you are already manifesting your infinite design.

Occasionally I'll deliberately couch terms in absolute language to reinforce a key point, but most of the time it isn't necessary. In a forum like this, it's a given that terms like I/You/Everyone are relative, and serve to facilitate communication.

Agreed, lead by example and set the tone for the forum that you expect others to follow. To @Water by the River's credit, he chose not to take offense and responded graciously.

There can be synchronicities in numbers, just as they occur in other phenomenal patterns. Synchronicities are little sand castles shaped by the hand of the absolute, along the endless shore of its imagination. They intimate an underlying order, in the vast awareness creating shapes and patterns on the surface of its dream.

In high school, I was selected as the sterling scholar in math. I had to endure a grueling round of questions from smug professors, the standout being, "Was mathematics invented or discovered?" I argued that it was discovered, but have since changed my position. Numbers only exist in imagination. The absolute is enumerated by mystics in non-committal (e.g., not two) or paradoxical (e.g., three is one) terms. Like every language, mathematics falls short in its feeble attempts to define the absolute.

Conceptual knowledge is relative, and debatable. Its source is external, and it seeks the external for validation. Spiritual knowledge is absolute, and beyond dispute. Its source is internal, and being direct it needs no validation.
