@Razard86 well, 99,99% of humanity is light years away from enjoyment of this story of being human - that is my overestimated assumption probably, yet that what awakening is in some sense - realizing that this story is not everything that is - dead serious game for survival. When you rediscover that you can start reprograming your mind tool from constant chasing the line of the horizon to more relaxed approach. Don't you agree?

@Razard86 and main operative axiom of most human mind egos is a strong belief of being separate entity in constant fight for survival against vicous and hostile world. We must reprogram that. And it can be done.

@Razard86 until you are in charge of ego - in other words you are fully aware of character you're playing and you're not attached to its agenda. You use it as an joyful interface under fully conscious control. Otherwise, you are the slave of, or possesed by this amazing ego-something. What refers to 99,99% of human population.

First, let me start by saying that I have no intention of playing any evidence here to convince anyone of anything. The only evidence procedure known to us about which we agree is carried out according to the scientific method, and I want to point out its conditioning and limitations. This, of course, does not mean that I reject the scientific method. I only believe that there are dimensions of existence which, after becoming aware of them, require at least reprogramming the human mind, in whose modus operandi anthropocentrism is built in, anthropic and anthropological principles that, willy-nilly, position human experience at the top of the hierarchy, and often as the only one. This is a great a priori assumption, which has no basis - neither rational nor purely logical, and even more spiritually - mystical. Meditation is a powerful tool that can provide the experience of being beyond the stream of thoughts and emotions or even beyond the physical body and also makes us aware of what our mind is that we experience. It is a tool that results from the evolution of the homo species on planet Earth. And one of the carriers transmitting the codification of this tool is, e.g., genes - I totally agree. Why the cognitive revolution to which homo sapiens were subjected took such a direction opposite to the environment - remains a mystery. But we know that this direction is not the only one we know. Virtually all other organisms on our planet, some highly evolved like elephants, primates, whales, dolphins, and cephalopods, show a high level of self-awareness, and despite the general principle of development on this planet - eat or be eaten - they develop in harmony with the rhythm of life and not in opposition to him. Besides, we have growing evidence that other species of man that existed before also did not show such homicidal tendencies on a large scale. Today, the heirs of our ancestors are, for example, Aborigines - practically devoid of anthropocentrism and the sense of having anything; Hopi Indians and East Siberian Kerekes. We like to put such people in reserves and slowly exterminate them so that their dangerous views do not undermine the agenda, especially of the white homo sapiens. This one is always right. If not, see the first point. There is a lot of evidence in the form of direct observations of animals acting altruistically - i.e., endangering their existence, the existence of their herd for the sake of other animals, not necessarily of the same species, as well as observations of the interspecies friendship of animals. Sometimes of a downright cosmic dimension, like the friendship between an elephant and a humpback whale, when during migration, both separate from the herd - the elephant sits on the beach, the humpback whale swims close, and we witness communication that is at least singing and roaring. The event can still be observed in the southern part of the Namib Desert today. Elephants, primates, and cetaceans are certainly no strangers to the awareness of their mortality. In my opinion, also dogs, cats, deer, and birds. I often accompanied them in their departure - whether it was death from old age, illness, hit-and-run, by car, or poaching snares. It is always a mystical experience for me. There is no resistance to what is. There isn't. And the depth and calmness of those eyes are endearing. There you can find a reflection of what you are – loving awareness. Unfortunately, this is far from being fully implemented. As a child, I struggled with something like temporal lobe epilepsy. Subsequent MRI revealed a pineal cyst, a dilated Verga cavity, and left temporal lobe atrophy. As a child, I had various visions that could last for hours. Some were very real. I experienced the presence of multiple entities. I was terrified of some. After one such vision, in which an entity visited me straight from the Mullholand Drive movie as a boy, I was speechless for over a year. I spent the next three years with a speech therapist, and stuttering episodes occurred until my studies. Whenever my dog was with me, I felt protected and safe. When I was tiny, my father had an Irish Setter named Titus. Titus could go three days without eating or going out for a walk, be with me like a guardian angel. Even my grandfather - the outstanding Polish neurosurgeon Hieronim Powiertowski noticed the correlation between the presence of Titus with me and the decrease in the severity of epileptic seizures. Titus visits me in my dreams to this day. Of course, rational science is about to throw you a hundred thousand scientific justifications - very clever theories. Just remember that any theory assumes that only white swans exist. But it only takes one black to challenge it. Even if this one is only colored black - the question is who or what colored it. And you will always find a black swan in any theory. This is what Godel's Theorem is - that you will always find a black swan. Also, do not weld yourself to your assumptions because you will go around in circles. Watch the mind. This is your tool, not your ruler. Knowing is awareness of limitless existence without conceptualizing everything with a very limited mind. The Truth is we don't know. When we realize this and accept it fully, we might have a chance to transcend the borders of our anthropocentric mind.

It is good to remember that anthropocentrism underlies many, if not all, of our assumptions. As if the experience of the evolution of homo sapiens was the highest achievement of existence and almost the only one in this category. The very appearance of homo sapiens is shrouded in mystery. Before homo sapiens, there were over 20 species of man. Not hominids, just humans. They coexisted and peacefully evolved like everything else. Only the cognitive revolution, which took place in the blink of an eye, created homo sapiens, which immediately began exterminating everything that stood in its way. It exterminated other species of homo and most large mammals wherever sapiens migrated. In general, if it multiplied faster, then, after eliminating everything that lives, it would probably exterminate itself. Like Silastic Armorfiends of Striterax in D, Adams's novel "Life, Universe, and Everything." Conflict is undoubtedly inscribed in this dimension of existence, but is its extreme form - war - a condition sine qua non of evolution? I dare doubt. It is also worth delving deeper into the mystery of why the homo sapiens experience happens at all. In fact, this is the dumbest animal on the planet and utterly unnecessary from the general point of view of life on Earth.

@Inliytened1 I can share my experiences proving exactly the opposite of your statements, but what will you do with that? Either believe or disbelieve. I wish you are open to the possibility that the existence is far more bizarre than you think.

Here's a story: you know why Lucifer the Morning Star hates people. He/She literally hates us just because of this blind stupidity. He/She doesn't think people are evil. This is not the topic of the so-called conversation at all. Stupidity. Pride and stupidity. He/She was unable to accept that something like a man could even arise. And the CEO fucked him out of the project titled the creation of everything possible. Also, He/She wasn't jealous of a human (even here, we had to put ourselves first!). He/she really hates us. I get that, and I appreciate the honesty. Always. Take it as a childish story with a grain of truth about ourselves.

@Inliytened1 Your assumption that animals are incapable of gazing inwards is, again - a plain, baseless assumption. Since science has no idea what consciousness is, your human mind (which is not you) is basically self-evolved survival software (evolved in opposition to life, not in alliance with it) with an egocentric (anthropocentric en masse) set of axioms in principle - I will ask again - how do you know? Science is just discovering the communication that occurs in the world of nature, interspecies, on some total quantum-field-morphic level, from mycelium to insects to whales. I have had dogs and other pets since I was born. We sometimes sleep in the same bed. It would never even occur to me to say that they are incapable of deep self-reflection. A recent experiment with the macaques showed that they chose altruistic solidarity with the herd members, which meant they starved to death. So what are you talking about?

@Inliytened1 Do I suspect that some limitations you want to put upon God? Upon Infinite omnipotence? When Einstein told Bohr that God does not play dice with the universe, Bohr replied: don't tell God what He should play. I take Bohr's side.

@Inliytened1 On what basis do you make such an assumption? One dream of God or one of many dreams of God? Again, how do you know?

Notice also how anthropocentric solipsism can be. How many of you, after God-realization, still have a problem with the existence, the manifestation of beings utterly alien to us? As if man was the only highest, most perfect manifestation, the incarnation of God. I'm afraid it's precisely the opposite, which is an excellent opportunity to progress if you are aware of it. And entities utterly alien to us, as well as those more known (although not liked by us and vice versa:) exist in the same sense as homo sapiens. In God's Imagination, let's say. Always question the obvious, what seems to you to be obvious. Is your God's realization full? Leo recently discovered that might not be so. I know he is right that there are other, totally non-human realizations of consciousness. Some of them advanced to an unimaginable degree. Call them imagined stories of existence if you like. It doesn't change anything. Just like different dimensions of reality, humans (in the sense of the human mind) are unaware of and often deny their existence in advance! Why? Just because of our dull anthropocentrism.

@Inliytened1 I am aware of that. Thank You anyway. It is always good to keep awareness sharpened @Breakingthewall Not all those people! Never! One idea of Nikolay Czerniszewski based on - again stupid - anthropological principle, from which he derived the idea - this is total idiocy - of a rational egoist - was cleverly corrupted by the peasant elites oppressed by the bourgeoisie, hungry for what? - a rhetorical question - mainly power and bloody revenge. Below is a link to a nice study on the subject. Use a translator and enjoy reading. https://depotuw.ceon.pl/bitstream/handle/item/289/Marcin Zwiercan - praca doktorska.pdf?sequence=1 1000% agreement here

@Inliytened1 Notice that you face a lot of resistance whenever you leave this shared anthropocentric point of view. Both in the scientific and spiritual environment. Doesn't matter. And the forum is where we enjoy (try at least) existential philosophy, at best, not mysticism. As you know, the process called mysticism, the return to the source, takes place in being, not in talking. So I don't get your point.

@Breakingthewall Perhaps it is as you say. To me, the history of humanity appears more like a history of madness, which only it does not collapse because, in each episode of this drama of mass craziness, there are strong counterbalances in the form of individuals (sic!) - saints, enlightened, geniuses who can deflect this trajectory leading to a catastrophe by their actions that the mass does not finally hit the wall at full speed. There are also factors such as fortunate coincidences or so-called accidents, which I call the retreat of science. I prefer the word providence. It may be divine. In contrast, the claim - I am human, and I can't help it - is a clever excuse for the ego to maintain its comfortable status quo. Which is, again, simply stupid (sorry, that's the Luciferic part of me I can't help)

@Osaid But that's what the activity of consciousness is: making stories. Isn't it? And it's okay unless you create attachments to those and identify yourself through the incarnated character of a particular drama. Well, it's still ok from an absolute perspective, only imagined you have an imagined problem: i.e. with an idea of reincarnation in this case. I'm not saying this to you, in general.

That is why the core of all spiritual teachings is: stop thinking, start being.

One of the primary reasons the mind resists the idea of reincarnation is that the idea of being eternal, in fact, terrifies it in general, just like infinity. After all, reincarnation is just an idea so that the eternal, omnipotent, and infinite consciousness does not bore itself to death. And it's not a stupid idea at all. Actually, it's brilliant!

And by the way, God, You can do far better than this.

Time will tell. One thing is for sure. Suppose we want to continue this adventure under the title of homo sapiens. In that case, we must reprogram our mindset from the mode of opposition, resistance, and the state of permanent war that lasts in our minds into the mode of synchronization with what is with life on our planet. And here, we still have a lot to learn from nature. Otherwise, no technology, A.I., and other science-fiction ideas won't help here. I will only add that climate change on Earth, the logarithmic pace at which it is taking place, and a complete lack of idea in which direction it will go (many different models show different scenarios) will throw most of humanity far beyond its comfort zone in the very short future. Most of us here will experience it. But perhaps it has to be. Fortunately, the cognitive revolution has not deprived us of the capacity for self-reflection. It's harder to draw and implement conclusions. Nothing will change as long as the agenda of the separated ego shitting itself out of fear is in the first place. The only difference in quite a short future might be that it will implement its moronic ideas in other spaces of the universe for some time as long as it doesn't see how utterly stupid what it's doing.

I think of Aborigines and other more Earth-connected cultures and tribes where anthropocentrism is almost completely off narration...

You can't escape your fears for good by avoiding them, or pretending they do not exist. Because like with everything, you don't have fear, you become fear when you fear. So your fear is you, a part of you. Best pointer to what fear is, is fobia. Fobia is the essence of fear which is... nothing. There's nothing there. It's is just your imagination, which is another pointer that tells something you about power of your imagination. That is very interesting stuff. Quite bizzare how it works... Anyway sooner or later everyone will have to face one's illusion, go through it like through thick dark cloud which presents to you as a monster on a line of horizon, but when you are geting closer and closer it's just a shape and color of a steam water. Breath it in, breath it out.

Erratum: ... I felgi I was existence that creates

Try to find some common ground. I understand your POV. I perceive all events, factors, and components as within consciousness, as its projection in the process of self-discovery. I also believe; actually, I am sure, although I do not know why, that the only purpose of being human, of this experience, is the transcendence of all barriers assigned to it. It's not that there's anything wrong with being human with all its ramifications. It has to do with the level of enjoyment associated with the experience. As a passionate person by nature, I have often experienced how often passion becomes your prison through the meaning you give it. By how strongly you identify with something you love. You have to realize what you really love. In climbing, I love the feeling of lightness, hyper-kinesthetic awareness, and unity with nature. A dance where everything dances. This is the essence. All the rest, added by the mind, was one big neurosis over the years. It's like you love to race in rallying, and therefore you would never get out of your car because you always have to be uptight and ready to go. It's the same with being human. When you take this experience deadly seriously, with all its limitations and challenges, it becomes a cage very quickly. And you hunt for crumbs of joy as if it were something external to be caught and not let go. Once during an intense Crystal Kriya meditation, I had the experience of being a bee collecting nectar inside a flower. Of all the experiences from the past, the future that somehow came up, this was by far the clearest. The feeling of being a super collective, not only in the hive mind sense but wholeness with nature, the cosmos, and life - was total and all-encompassing. In addition, I felt I was not the existence that creates ... I consider the experience of being an animal to be something lower in the hierarchy than being human is an anthropocentric misunderstanding. I am a great lover of animals and plants. I am much closer to them than to people. The interaction is always sincere and pure. And for now, only there am I capable of unconditional love. I love my dogs, cats, insects, fish, birds, and plants for no reason. Because they are. I don't want anything from them. I often took animals hit by a car - deer, dogs - to the vet. Mostly they died in my car on my lap, sometimes on the side of the road before I could put them in the car. Several of my dogs have already passed away. Watching and participating in how animals die is a kind of mystery. All the magic of Eastern martial arts is based on this animal being and reacting here and now. There's a lot to learn. Besides, I'm betting that dolphins and whales enjoy life much more than the average person. It is enough to evolve not in opposition to the world but with it. Also, I stop using the term past life. This suggests that life is something you have and lose. Over and over again. It is only gathering experiences through the Life that You Are. I suggest taking the example of dolphins more often and surfing as much as possible. And a donkey's heart is great.

But the genetic program of my body can switch off my body due to cancer, stroke, Parkinson, of course. And yoga practice has very little to do here, although, to some extent, it has. But in the same way, genetics may have something to do with the expansion of consciousness if it becomes this limitation you want to break with all power of your will.

@Carl-Richard Listen my friend. You have your beliefs; everyone has one. I had my theories and such. At some point, I discovered the dimensions of existence and experience; I don't know what to call them, which, despite attempts to describe them in language, are elusive to the mind. Yet, their experience is much clearer and (this is a bad word) more real than what most I took for granted, the absolute reality of this life outside of me. The second interesting aspect of these dimensions is that they are not alien to me; I will even be tempted to say that I know them (wrong wording again); I feel them more strongly than the dimension in which we are now exchanging views. Of course, the mind tries to describe it all somehow, and different stories fit more or less, but this is not the point. Sometimes I think that even speculating on this subject is a bit pointless because all we have, is an instrument of mind programmed according to certain axioms and conditions that conceptualizes what it thinks it knows. But what is not done for fun? One more observation - I've recently noticed an increasingly frequent tendency to rationalize everything by force and perceive it in black-and-white categories. As if that comfort zone had to be defended at all costs. The last story. The moment when, as a result of very severe pains in the spine, which put me in bed for six months and put my whole life in question, I took care of myself and started practices that, according to 3 more outstanding neurosurgeons, should lead me, at best, to the wheelchair. Not only did all my symptoms disappear and my spine magically healed, but a whole host of other chronic ailments I've struggled with since I was a child - subsided. Mental problems too. I've never felt better. I gave up all stimulants, alcohol, and cigarettes; my diet is gradually shifting from vegetarianism to veganism despite the warnings of Western medicine. I have not taken any medications for two years. I live intensely. I work in rope access; I climb very actively at quite a decent level. I recently tore the inner meniscus in my right knee. Orthopedic opinion - to be removed or to be stitched. It won't grow back. Too poorly concealed. 2 months of particular squats combined with proper breathing and daily yoga practice, and there is no trace of the injury. After almost a year of intensive Kundalini Kriya practice, I experienced an out-of-body presence twice. The second time was so strong that I didn't want to return. The feeling of lightness, vitality, intensity, aliveness, and complete lack of stream of thoughts and emotions was so liberating that I couldn't convey it. The worst fear I've experienced since I was a child - fear, phobia of pigeons disappeared like fog in a month from this experience. Do I know the answer to any questions? No, none. I often can't say what a limitation or a condition is. Does it exist? Maybe ... One thing I know is when such a border disappears, when anxiety and fear disappear, the feeling of freedom that fills me is at least as good as after a good shit. Well, I exaggerated. 1000x better. But I still love stories .
