One of your mods claiming that neo-advaita is The Biggest example of fake spirituality. I’m not even sure if neo advaita is the same as radical nonduality. Google says people like Tony Parsons but also Nisargadatta are neo advaita. Your thoughts?

They were all talking simultaneously so it’s hard to listen to. I don’t know th Nelk Bois, i don’t care for Hasan Abi although he makes some good points. The only good one on this talk was the other guy Dave or whatever.

@Leo Gura thoughts?

Is that why you have sugar in the name because it dissolves? ”I’m the man made of salt who went to measure the depth of the ocean”

I misread the thread title, i thought it was a question like “anyone interested in NDE?” But i mean like what give me another example. In the world there are things i’ll just believe like the were dinosaurs, it doesn’t really affect me in any way. But in this “spiritual” thing i’d rather mostly focus on my own "experience”

So there seemingly is just this immediacy which just is what it is. And then at some point separation sets in. The feeling of being separate. Which isn’t a problem but with it many things come attached. Like a feeling of lack a need to be safe which causes a need for control of self and others and so on. I can see it in myself but also in something like Israel for example. I don’t want to dish on Israel in this thread but it’s just a good example of the human condition going to the extreme of control and survival. So then this control and survival causes things like Mossad, covert operations, Gaza and so on. It causes paranoia and suffering. And in the human condition can get very complex like narcissism and so on. Me against the world kind of thing. So then this fight against reality could be called resistance. So then maybe if you find spirituality or whatever at some point you develop resistance to the resistance and so on. Someone like James from the forum would probably say you just need to love the resistance and it melts away. But i don’t really believe in free will so that’s when it comes to grace and hopelessness. In any case i don’t really know where I’m going with this. I just found a fight against reality a nice phrase.

I mean not really because i don’t really trust other peoples experiences that much.

There was a time i followed this youtuber. She had an awakening or something close to liberation from listening to Tony Parsons etc. and she had great insights and talks. And i thought it’s cool to hear a clear women’s perspective. But then somehow it got a little crazy and she started making weird rules and stuff and started fighting with people and said she was this religious figure. Got a bit psychotic-ish. I don’t know what she’s up to now it was quite wild to view in real time i hope she’s well.

You’re deeply closeted in the spiritual closet. Come out that closet boii I mean i guess it’s a spectrum. Worst is straight grifters and dangerous cults.

Then what is fake spirituality?

Is "real" spirituality one that keeps you seeking on a path or one that yanks away your path? who knows

I wonder if i had the free will to not put Someone on ignore. If i was getting annoyed at him and then put on ignore. Or if i put ignore and then in hindsight determined that it was because he annoyed me. Or something else. All without free will.

that’s good. I just now thought profit and prophet is similar.
