Late reply but just a lot going on Yea I’ve thought how some mind stuff on psychedelics, someone might see it as profound because the psychedelic state is profound, but the mental stuff could still be just reflection of your regular mind so it’s not the most important thing Ok, but is there any sense of self for you? I also thought of enlightenment as permanent yes by definition “Everything is recognized as new” I guess it has to do with the mind being dissolved, becuase it’s the thing that kinda makes reality seem “known” or something. It projects onto reality I find “choice” being an experience, meaning it can seem to someone they are choosing or vice versa. But I intuit there’s not choice actually

Late reply but it’s just so much going on It’s cool to read such elaboration especially about the self because I find it’s not super popular maybe to talk about . But it’s the most central to my life that’s why I think about it I just thought, if you reach state where self and reality are one as you say, how is that different from “no self” because it sounds like no boundary, and the self has to do with boundary for me. Yea you can say “reality is self” but then I feel the word self looses meaning a little…

Sounds to me like the “self” would be all that is contained in that particular “pov” , or something …

Yea I see. Someone could work to become successful, motivated by the idea of getting women, but to get to the absolute top in terms of carrier yes I think it has to be other motivating factors, more self driven ones, as the basis, to suceed at that. Fitness helps anyone in that regard yes that’s right. When you say they didn’t seem to value you enough, it makes me think, either they see you as loser in a way because you having less money = being lazy or less intelligent etc (in their mind) . Or it could be they want some kind of financial benefit from you. The former sounds more likely to me when it comes to casual encounters

Any feeling of boundary?

Transmission is a good word for it, never really thought of it before. I can kinda relate to that last part, simply feeling there’s something off, then it could be different things what you mean vs what I mean but just that general sense. Still pondering that sometimes, what it is. One aspect: I suspect a lot of the audience don’t actually want enlightment in the way they think, they actually want some kind of self that they can enjoy, but they’re misinterpreting themselves, and the teachers are speaking in support of that “desire” instead of pointing out this misinterpretation . And also sometimes someone is speaking of no self and nothing but from my pov it’s like “that’s a person right there I can feel it”, how can you emit “personhood” in that way if there’s “nothing” from your pov lol. Also if a spiritual teacher is always like “calm” in their expression, no, a developed personality should have different sides to it, always seeming “calm” feels like one sided, something missing. Just some thoughts.

Depends on your inner mindset in terms of why you do it

The thought is the thing explaining what it is…a mystery for now

How would you define karmic? I have been a little confused about what people mean by that word. Other than that I’m with you, a bit surprised by your replies actually as they sounds very different from some of your other posts I’ve read

Ok I don’t think I’ve heard that being said like that. But it makes sense the point you’re making. It’s like they’d want a “non democracy” only if its conservative style, so they vote to make it that way , using democracy to try to make society less of a democracy, or something.

Why can’t they just chose to…not vote. Hahaahah almost as if the “right” for women to vote is threatening their conservative identities lol. And they think leftists are the “snowflakes”. They are right, against the right, thinking they are right HAHAHAHAH I felt smart with that pun

Good news

I think it’s because of the inwardness

No it’s good I think

I don’t know many of those terms but it makes sense when looking it up and I can find a kind of connection to my experience Yea I don’t see much talk about energies in this place, or even forum in general. Something is lacking hmmmmm Yea I don’t really understand that need for the physical release every time, or even the majority of the time.

I think most important is cultivating the sexuality within you and purifying yourself . Basically like that’s the foundation The video mentioned mirror neurons, and yes, the neurological wiring aspect is overlooked, seen as “dry” for some people who do spirituality because it sounds “scientific”

It’s more so compliment than roast, I’m seeing the depth haahah

Go back to where you belong my dear 😂

She fit in better among the “mystics” in the spirituality section that’s why

ahahah ☺️

Oh ok

I shared a perspective, I think it applies to some

Not what I meant. If you think the body you live in looks ugly, then think so if it’s authentic .

Definitions this and that, recognize if you have a sense of self or not, people be deluded talking about awakenings when they’re struggling with basic ego problems

I get the sense that people who feel strong need to point out the importance of these things, is because they dont have strong enough desire to genuinely want to do it for themselves. So it’s like you’re also in a way trying to convince yourself of the importance of this when writing about it . If you genuinely wanted to go to barber shop and get nice haircut regardless, would you really feel need to write this long text about it Also you won’t look better than the healthiest version of yourself and that includes health on all levels meaning also inner state (because it will have effect on cellular level) Rest is just modifications and enhancement, for example make up is not how one actually looks . So actually “looks-maxing” in its basis is quite natural and healthy
