That’s the question we seemingly can’t answer

that’s true in the absolute sense i see there are negative sides to the self this post highlighted the positive ones though and what it allows us to do and experience fundamentally also I think there’s different kinds of self dissolution but that’s for another topic ”you’re” blessed to have no sense of self! Sure something must be different about it, or not? It sounds preferable over having a sense of self

Ofc yea I agree. The sense of I know I am here is the sense of separate self

Your mixing together non duality and duality here again I don’t get what you mean.

I’m with you on the first sentence but not the second. Second sounds non dual while the first sounds dual

Sure immigration has brought with it some criminals but I don’t see how it connects to my point

What do you mean by rebellious

Yea exactly our struggles in the west tend not to be about physical survival for most but about other things

do you mean pure physical survival? Because that isn’t hard if you like I said live in the west and are healthy. Our struggles tend to be about other stuff

Thank you. If you live in the west like you do, and keep yourself healthy, the risk of suddenly dying is low.

This post shed a positive light on having a self but ofc it has major backsides too

Agreed. It’s a mysterious structure this self. In this post though I highlighted the positive, it might sound basic, because it’s the normal experience, but it’s something I think of

I’ve only been to Swedish train stations so I can’t know how it compares to others so maybe you are right😂

lol is it that bad

lol I like my current one

lol maybe I should’ve kept it😂

This is spot on

Thank you

Once again I don’t think it’s too common for them to want validation from others, it’s more just a way to boost the self image as I said, to post themselves looking good, doesn’t need others to tell them they look good necessarily although maybe it does happen in some cases and that I can’t answer for now if you look at a females comment section i think it’s more common to see replies from her female friends rather than men

That id say too

I don’t know how common that is, to post in order to attract other men I think in most cases it’s still for one’s own ego boost. Looking hot for a woman can be like an end in itself, doesn’t need men to confirm it

I edited my answer to add on a point. I don’t think most girls who post sexy pics do it to attract men i think it’s mostly to boost their own self image. I don’t post so I can’t answer that

a thought that came to my mind. Our society is heavily hypersexual here in the west, women get conditioned from a young age to value physical appearance highly, this contributes to this phenomena of sexy pics on social media. Which is to boost one’s own self image. I don’t think it’s to excite other men, it’s more ego centric than that, to boost the self image as I wrote.

You’re still not living up to your bio. “End of desire” includes end of desire to change others😅

Maybe it’s not possible for anyone to answer this question, but is it so that everything that one could think of and infinitely more exists for some conscious pov? So for example my current life but me wearing a different shirt right now exists for a conscious pov, every book we read, the story exists irl for some conscious pov? Etc etc. I say “for a conscious pov” in the sense that I , right now exist as a conscious pov, and I experience my little “bubble” of appearances, and in the same way there’s a conscious experiencer for all of the other “bubbles” of appearances. Or could there be appearances without a conscious experiencer perceiving them? If you get what I mean
