Sorry if I misinterpreted you - wasn't intentional. I actually emailed you recently (3 times last week). I feel like we are brothers in sorts. Our journeys are extremely similiar, and I resonate and agree with everything you say, and have come to almost the same conclusions on the videos I've seen from you (I discovered you only recently) I ask this without any prejudice or judgement at all, if you believe in what you say, are you embodying it fully, and if not why not? Like none of the theory or understanding is complex or complicated, right? It's just the actualizing and living in accordance to truth that seems the hard part. How are you coping with it?

@DefinitelyNotARobot your ability to love and accept sense pleasure, desire and the ego, doesn't mean you act on it or pursure it. Here let me show directly the erroneous epistemic views you have, and I offer this with as little abrasion as possible, it's also the same as Mathew above: You can change within your or mathews statements sense pleasure with absolutely anything else in the universe, but to show you the erroneous view, change it to murder 20 kittens, or to 5 innocent babies. God still forgives you. But should you do it? Can you see how God forgiving you isn't a justification for you to do it, or that it won't negatively impact you? Or is in anyway wise? Or without consequence?

@DefinitelyNotARobot this is the type of thing nothing I will say will convince you of the truth, so the only thing I can say is to see for yourself in your own experience. You can also see how it makes sense if you define selflessness as your capacity to love, and the desire for sense pleasure which essentially is an attachment to sense pleasure as an impediment to selflessness. I mean theres tons of different ways to skin this cat, but ultimately it boils down to your desire for truth, desire for for the capacity to love, wisdom and honesty. At the other side of renouncing attachments and desires, is a net gain, not a loss, but sometimes (if not always) it's hard to see that

Sure, but that isn't wisdom, or truth. The truth is sense pleasure is a net loss, it causes you suffer, makes you more selfish, less capable of love, furhter away from God. The question isn't about how God would judge your ignorance of sense pleasure - to be clear
