@LordFall Hypothetical scenario: If you had one night with Sophie Rain, would you still feel need to keep going with your lifestyle after that?

you seem cooler and deeper than her lol, why u wasting time. All these men giving you advice as if every woman is even worth that

Why would that stop you tho?

That word is so funny to me, medieval sounding, I don’t know who I heard it from first here

Something needs to be done about the bullying at school. Unfortunately sometimes it’s the one being bullied that is forced to switch schools, but ideally the bullies and their parents should face the consequences instead. At that age it’s basically impossible to feel fine if you’re being bullied like that so it’s need change If it’s accurate description how the parents act then something needs to change there too. Seems he lacks healthy enough support and love from both parents . Being pushed to perform well in school while being bullied makes it seem like the father doesn’t even know what’s going on, becuase if he did why would he prioritize the grades . Besides from another adult communicating clearly with the parents, I can’t come up with more ideas now than getting help from the social services . Doesn’t necessarily have to end up in him being moved away from his parents, but maybe they could do something and make it clear to the parents that it’s a serious situation, sometimes the involvement of the social services can trigger people to think through things . I think Since he feels good around you, you have opportunity to support him by spending time with him . But ofc you have to prioritize yourself too, so it’s just to the extent you feel works for you, but it’s kind of a short term thing that could help meanwhile the other stuff haven’t been solved yet , or if there is also someone else he feels good around. Also this is assuming that all the boy is saying is true, sometimes children can twist the truth, just putting that out there. Yea some thoughts.

If you could think for yourself, you wouldn’t really be concerned about this place potentially being a cult🤷🏻‍♀️ worrying about it, is just implicitly calling yourself weak 🙂 and other people too for that matter 🫠

If you have very few wishes maybe it’s possible😅

My thought is that the deeper you go in sober state the deeper it can be once you take psychedelics, so it’s like backwards approach in compared to what you’re doing. A possibility.

And I see visual snow all the time, how bout that

What death you mean, body or ego? it gives this different meaning

They say a lot, but not much is being said 🤯

Got me thinking of this solipsism thing Like thats funny, why would someone think all of reality would be limited to one single "pov" .

I can relate to that! It is like built in meditation in everyday life (unless you fall asleep super quick eheh) Yea and as you seem to allude to it can be a mental thing. So when they healthy again they may go back to old habits LOL What isn't present aka "unreal"? You mean sense of self and thoughts? Seems you meant thoughts now that im reading Why would keeping the body still help in particular? by moving body it creates stronger physical sensation and engagement of body so that can help still the mind, as it takes attention away from head, actually in my experience (as long as its done automatically, not by thinking like "oh im gonna do this movement next") 🤔

I just thought about something, I swear the way you look like, if there was google page that said "ramachamandran yogi mystic, got enlightened at 12 years old" and pictures of you id believe it was real 😂 you kinda got that look. Or Aladdin vibe I also got 🤣

Many people have argued you already I feel theres no point in trying really

Ive thought about this, because reality seems so "structured". People say "theres only what youre experiencing right now" but what if its actually: theres only the world, the reality, and there arises the self. Meaning that the room youre in right now is indeed connected to the outside of the building, it's not just "immediately appearing" when you are experiencing it. This thing about reality being so damn "structured" (like how your city is the same every time you go there) is really a mind fuck when you compare it to how some people describe reality Not saying this is what you meant but just some thoughts

Yea, some of them kinda "dry" Actually I challenge this idea that the most profound people in the world are enlightened ones. Seems some in spiritual community thinks this. A person who's not enlightened could be more profound, meanwhile the enlightened one could be like normal person just that the self dissapeared somehow, or they could be profound in some way but its quite one-sided (like being still and able to point to non dual truth with words but then being kinda flat in personality or energy) 🤓

Why the sense "its not real", rather than just it being more softer and looser? A drop of paint in a puddle of water can seem just as real as a stone in the water, just more diffuse borders. But maybe the message did affect you, what do I know

Yea its so genuine, someone couldn't fake being like that

Maybe it relates to this idea: if something appears to be exactly a certain way, what's the difference between that and it actually being that way. I dont remember if you've said that before (something along those lines) but Ive thought about it. Also, theres a difference between saying "the normal experience is false/illusion" in the way of: people dont see how their mind shapes a lot of their perception Vs saying "duality is illusion", like you gave example of, which sounds more like: any sense of separation or self at ALL is illusion The first one I think I can recognize, but the second I dont know Also for me too I associate the term consciousness with "being aware of" and when people say that word to talk about reality I feel they sometimes just wanna feel "profound" feeling 😂 What's the point of using already established words and then change meaning

I can relate to what you saying, it describes my experience too except the part where you say "obvious it wasn't actually there/never was" which sounds like the sense would be totally gone for you. But you also say "that lived sense of self will never dissolve entirely", so it doesn't make fully sense to me, sounds a bit contradictory. But its okay, I guess it's hard to articulate those things, for me too. Also I never really had that super solid sense of self people seem to have (what I imagine many have), for me it was more kinda "dense mind stuff" or something, not super "solid" sense. Actually ive never had either the super solid real sense of self, nor the No self. Im something in between I think, just based on my experience and observations After reading again I think I may understand better what you mean but ill let my reply be anyways for now

It seems good analogy because it pertains to “waking up” but it’s still vague what it means “lucid”.

Thanks but i imagine id want something more “smooth” sounding 😄

Stop putting words in my mouth. Maybe you moreso meant women in general but still, why this rigidity and generalizations. It was just innocent “admiration” I don’t see problem. Maybe eat baguette and relax 😁
