It seems in order to have an experience, there has to be a sense of self who’s having the experience (for example the experience of a really long time). I’ve thought similarly to Leo myself, how something that isn’t absolutely true (the self) cannot survive indefinitely. It’s like the “false” self is a certain structure that has to be maintained, it’s an activity that has to constantly cover the truth, meanwhile the nature of reality is structureless so it’s just “there” indefinitely. Without the self, reality is nothing in a way. So maybe it’s more relevant to ask, can the self stay forever. Because it’s the self that makes distinctions between things and experiences reality as real. It doesn’t make sense to me that some aspect of reality would dream a self forever, so it being one single conscious being that is conscious forever and forever has an experience. Because reality isn’t limited so why would it limit some part of itself to one particular form forever, instead of changing. Also you could say, if the self isn’t real, then that gives it even more instability because it’s not an actual manifestation of reality that takes place…. Just some thoughts. But to be more specific, you asked if it could feel like you’re dreaming forever. I don’t think it’s possible because I don’t think it’s possible to experience eternity if it’s not actual eternity if that makes sense.

A spontaneous thought would be that reality doesn’t follow laws and logic so anything could happen ..(I think) But on the other hand it seems anything that manifests (anything that isn’t nothing basically) has a certain “logic” or “way of being/working”, it’s like it has to have that in order to exist . So maybe everything has some kind of logic to it, it’s possible to explain, but the logic can be very twisted and not fit into the conventional science. But for now I don’t know that particular explanation. Maybe something about how time doesn’t work like we think

When you’re trying to sleep but you think about the possibility of being tortured for eternity…

I’m a little confused sometimes about makes people not end their life. It’s like, I’m not the only one who struggles, yet all people who struggle don’t get suicidal thoughts. There are even people going through worse than me who don’t consider suicide. Sometimes when my suicidal thoughts get stronger I can spend hours researching suicide methods. I even bought some things I could use to kill myself but I haven’t used them yet. Sometimes I feel “I could keep living through this” But then other times I feel, I have no will to keep fighting for life. I should just end it. It would be better So I don’t understand how other people don’t feel like this when they struggle. Am I extra weak? I mean I think I’m like the average person when it comes to how much I can tolerate. Or maybe not. I don’t know. I guess I just lack a strong enough reason to live Like some people have let’s say family they are attached to, and it keeps them wanna live. But I don’t have that, I don’t love anyone at all so I have nobody to live for. It’s like all I have is my own mind. Im stuck inside of this brain 24/7. All I have access to is a comforting thought that can give me some strength. But then my mind gives up and wants to end it all. It oscillates like that Edit: I should probably answer my own question. Why don’t I kill myself? Well mostly because my situation is not like absolutely unbearable yet, so I feel I can stand it for some time ahead. Also I am afraid of a failed attempt and the pain it can cause for example you could get permanent injury. Thats it mostly. Regarding the first point. I hear stories about people going through unbearable things, so they go through it even if it’s absolutely unbearable, I don’t know how they do. Suicide must have crossed their mind at some point

Eheheh 🤓🤣

Typical woman, has nothing to contribute to just sits there looks cute and laughs when the men say funny things …

Evolution

Hate when it happens..

Yea and the person won’t even notice they’re doing it…

You mean like confirmation bias? Yea 🫨🫨

I think it’s fine to categorize yourself and people according to models as long as you don’t lock yourself into that particular paradigm and remain open minded and combine your assessments with your intuition and not only your logical brain 🙂‍↔️

I was going through a hard time during that period, so I believe it was some kind of entity that visited me, perhaps a “spirit guide” that some claim everyone has. Sometimes during sleep paralysis hallucinations can arise, but for me they’ve always been very random so I can tell it’s a hallucination But this particular instance, it was so specific, and relevant what she said, that I’m sure it was not a hallucination . Also she said something that is said within non duality, how “reality is love”. It makes me feel that non duality is true It’s like how some people can meet entities during astral projection. It seems these kind of states can gain us access to another “realm” of reality where we can gain contact with non human intelligent entities It’s very cool! My tip is to remain calm during sleep paralysis, because if you’re scared you’re more likely to have scary hallucinations, but if you’re calm I think it opens possibilities for more positive experiences

One time during sleep paralysis I felt this female presence and she told me, that suffering is “love”

He means they only want enlightenment ofc 🤓

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA I was gonna write something like that😭 He’s as much coral as the oceans today after all climate destruction 😂😂

If you are with a person but you still view them through a generalized lense, consisting of ideas you have about the opposite sex and it has built some resentment in you then yes for sure it can have negative affect. Also if you have some idea about aspects of femininity being regressive then it might affect how you feel you should be, so you can risk diminishing that feminine/masculine polarity that can contribute to attraction and loose some touch with your authentic self… But in general I still think feminism is good when it teaches girls self respect and puts pressure on society to create more equality…

I relate it’s like you have to do so much to not look mega chopped. I was just at mini trip with my family and I swear I look so puffy after overeating twice at breakfast buffet. Like two days of eating extra makes such difference. And also skipping skincare routine once makes my skin look duller and more red. Then something simple as sleeping weird so my hair looks weird in the morning. Like damn it’s like you’re standing on a thin line between looking okay and looking mega chopped 😅😅😅😅 It motivates me to stick to my diet, then my face looks leaner, less bloated, to stick to my skincare, haircare, brow plucking etc. Damn. Hope I’m the only one who notices difference tho because I swear sometimes I be suprised someone likes me🫨

Actualized rizzzz

Hehehe

It’s not survival need but a psychological need. Can be seen as a physical need too, need for the physical pleasure (like how someone needs dopamine to feel good). But it’s not a need for survival

🤣🤣…

Sex is like several things at once. The man and woman enhances each others egos, the man makes the woman feel more like a woman and vice versa. She feels desired and sexy, he feels masculine (just example). So it’s physical. Then we have the physical pleasure. Then we have the emotional connection , the fulfillment of feeling love and feeling loved by someone. It’s complete and whole (when done right with the right person and inner state). It’s holistic pleasure. Virgin talk 😂😂😂

What is the goal? Awakening? Breaking down the sense of self? If so, does it realllly matter if the thoughts are related to the brain or not. We can recognize the thoughts by themselves, how they contribute to or even are the foundation for our sense of self and sense of reality, apart from what we feel is just pure perception. Even if you find out that the mind is from the brain, you’re probably not gonna be able to do anything with that information, you’re not gonna directly alter that mechanism by intervening physically like a scientist. So you might as well focus on what you directly have access to and inquire about that, your mind in itself.

You don’t have to have your life figured out to be able to date. You don’t even have to be particularly confident inside. There’s people, both men and women, at every level in society, and I think people tend to be attracted to people and are attractive to people and compatible with those that reflect them somehow around their own “level”. So there is guaranteed people out there for you, I think important factor is just exposing yourself to people so you actually have chance to meet them. But in a way it tends to happen naturally, like if you go school you’ll notice people group themselves based on compatibility. The geeky might hang around the geeky and the more reserved people find each other and the more sociable people find each other. Usually there’s not so much excessive effort involved. That’s not to say you shouldn’t work on yourself, because if you’re unhappy about yourself it will make you suffer in your life and relationships. Like even if what I said above could sound comforting, if you don’t fix some things that’s bothering you inside or your circumstances you’re still gonna be unhappy. When you come to a point of being relatively content with yourself then I think the biggest factor is just meeting enough people to find a match So basically it starts from the inside, the best partners and most fulfilling relationships can happen when you start healing, becoming a better more fulfilled version of yourself… inside out not outside in…

😭😭😭😂😂😂
