Exactly, maybe my soul chose this but not the self

You mean you don’t think it’s possible to end the cycle? Me neither I think ending it is only temporary but it restarts sooner or later

@Schizophonia I bet that exists somewhere in infinity because damn infinity can’t help itself but to create suffering

How you know

Guys just be happy you’re not in the worst reincarnations, can’t even imagine what would be possible

Before I had this one massive shift that released all the tension, I would experience this tension that seemed to be the sense of self and how it tries to maintain itself. It’s very heavy and it can be more or less heavy based on how many layers you’ve peeled from the ego. So that’s one connection I made to your post from my own understanding. You say to exist as a self requires a resistance to the idea of not being. I don’t think it’s the idea of it, it’s not being literally. The very activity, all the mental activity of the self is like noise to fill the effortless void that would be there. So it’s like the self is the very thing itself resisting dissolving into the void

I don’t know what to write to you in terms of helping but I can share that I’m struggling too with a severe disconnect from myself, almost like I barely exist .

I find that the more obsessed you are with something the more creative you can be. Like crazy obsessed

This💯

Yes. It’s always the ego that is insane

It will be the next step in the human evolution

Doesn't that mean that there’s still ego left meaning it’s not fully infinite?

If you don’t have your own kind of thinking then you’ll just be confused because there is so much different information out there yes

Yes I know there are pedophiles who don’t act out their urges, in that case they are innocent, more innocent than Tate

Yea one can sort the hay from the shaft or whatever that expression is for oneself. But individual contemplation is number one as you say

Pedophile from my understanding is when there is attraction to underage children, early teens and lower. So being attracted to for example a 17 year old doesn’t count . edit: I just asked ChatGPT and it said it’s defined as around 13 years or younger

Ok didn’t know . Then the question is if that’s reason enough to not listen to them at all despite the little good stuff here and there (I don’t listen to them personally since it’s aimed towards men, I have just heard small tid bits here and there)

I’ve only watched just a little bit of their content and I’ve found some of it good too. It’s hard to judge people from such little content but I think one can distill for oneself the good aspects from the bad. Extract the good stuff so to speak.

Ok didn’t know

I don’t think the next reincarnations have to do with that

Anyone else ever spiraled in their mind thinking about all the possible horrible reincarnations that could happen feeling scared? No? Just me?

Yes it can happen over and over

Yes. The substance is the same

I don’t mean to sound negative but I’m wondering if this enlightenment thing is even possible. I’ve done some self inquiry, contemplation, meditation, just a tiny bit psychedelics, have had maybe one natural glimpse, and have shed many layers to the self over the years, but it’s still alive so in one way I haven’t gotten anywhere. Look at Leo for example, he is a prime example. Isn’t he all about enlightenment? He has probably done so so much more practice than me, but he is still not enlightened, he is still operating from a human ego. Or am I wrong about this? If one of the most dedicated people in this isn’t even enlightened what is the hope for the rest of us who might not be equally as dedicated? How much does one have to do? Is it just a matter of keep trying? Any success stories ?

Completely agree. It doesn’t make sense at all that there would only be one life in ALL of eternity. If this life could happen, another life could happen sooner or later too. Another POV could be born again just like this one, from nothing. Doesn’t require a “soul” or something to transition. Even if there might be such a thing. But life and consciousness could literally come out of nothing at all in eternity, an infinite amount of times
