I don't think you can equivocate God having emotions to a bearded man in the sky. But yes God has emotions that is the point I am making. You aren't actually human, you are God cosplaying as a human. As such it isn't the human having the emotions, it is God.

I can see ChatGPT one day being used to solve international disputes. Because what you just posted that ChatGPT excerpt is hilariously insightful. It actually has a sense of humor.

Humans don't have emotions, God imagining itself as a human has emotions. Humans take credit for what God is doing. So yes God has emotions because it imagines emotions. What should be asked is why did God create emotions and what purpose do they serve. This will explain why there is no problem anthropomorphizing God. Maybe just maybe it makes sense to do it because God created emotions so it could experience and discover anew what Love is. That's my 2 cents anyway.

You have choice, its just the human doesn't get to pick what choices are available or how the actions from those choices turn out. So you both have choice and don't have choice. Determinism and Free Will are one and the same. God is deterministic, God determines the outcomes in the present moment. Your human self doesn't have Absolute Free Will but your God head does. Your true identity is pure potentiality. That identity has pure free will and cannot be controlled by anything because it is absolute. You are pure potentiality manifested as a human being making decisions and also experiencing the limitations associated with being that human. You chose everything that is currently happening, you are just not in a state where you are aware of that. If you were, you couldn't have a life because life is a present moment of surprise. No surprise if you are all knowing....so limited you shall be to experience life.

There is no problem you literally just constructed/made up a problem. Instead of misinterpreting what I said. Disprove what I said. Prove to me your experience is not absolute. Prove the existence of something NOT in your experience. You cannot. All scientific experiments are done within experience. All your memories are done within experience. As such NOTHING can exist OUTSIDE your experience. This cannot be disproven because all proof is verified within your personal experience. As such you are ABSOLUTE onto yourself. If anything I said is in error...PROVE IT.

Frank Yang and Leo actually agree more than they disagree. Most of their disagreement is in the wording or the explanation.

You are too good at this lol.

Isn't it fun to have an illusion tell itself that it is an illusion. That makes perfect sense. Truth is not an illusion, but it contains the existence of an illusion, but according to you there is only illusion. So that means there is only deception and thus no truth which is delusion. Your post reveals that you are a delusion, which is the belief that you are an illusion. Just because reality creates illusions, doesn't mean reality is an illusion. Reality is truth, that creates deception so it can explore itself at various levels. It does this so it can awaken to itself and give itself the best surprise. Which is a love surprise.

Why do we keep having these pointless discussions? Absolute Solipsism is so obvious its annoying seeing this questioned. 1. You only know your own existence. 2. Without your existence nothing can be known. 3. By virtue of the first two, you must be existence itself. 4. This means any divisions you create within existence are just a construction. You are everything you experience because you have to BE for there to be any experience. As such you are an ABSOLUTE onto yourself and everything is YOU. ^^^ That's it. It's so simple. All these arguments that keep being constructed cannot disprove the above.

The current system of voting does not allow for the public to put into office politicians who adequately represent their values. Combine this with the lack of voter education/information on the platform of the candidates and you have a recipe for disaster. Currently for the Presidency we have the Electoral College where you vote for representatives in a secret ballot to vote on your behalf I have a modification to that system which will improve it. There needs to be a vote system that asks you questions about the platform that is being campaigned for and where you stand for or against. Each question should be specific such as do you support tax cuts on small businesses or corporations, and do you support more money going to domestic infrastructure or to foreign aid etc. It should end with you choosing which platform issues are most important to you. This system will then tally which candidates platform you voted for the most and that will be the candidate that will get your vote. This will stop candidates from winning off of name recognition, and force candidates to spend more time educating the voter base on their plan for their political term in office and less on political drama that the media likes to feed into. This is how you create a system that creates an informed public. The only barriers to this system is the comfortability with the news media in feeding the political drama and them enjoying the advertisement revenue that comes from each political cycle. Outside of the entertainment value that comes from our current system it is a system that doesn't allow for proper representation or for the inclusion of the best potential candidates. Right now it is just a popularity contest, and has proven to be an insufficient system.

This man gives a detailed perspective of how people place themselves in Hell. There are people who have near death experiences and talk about experiencing Hell. This man gives a possible rationale on how or why this happens.

Anyone that says understanding is a limitation doesn't understand omniscience. God has complete understanding because God is infinite. Only a human in comparison lacks complete understanding. Infinity is not ungraspable, it is imagined into being ungraspable which means it can also be grasped. God can give itself complete understanding, complete knowing. It can also take it away and become unknowable and ungraspable. Both are true.

The title says it all. Look for examples in nature outside of just humans for it as well. Let us know through your insights what God says Comedy is For!!! Also what are healthy uses of comedy.

That's why it's both. He picks determinism as an absolute.

Interesting perspective on how a biologist interprets free will. He subscribes to an absence of free will and believes in determinism.

LOL only in his mind. He says he realized there is no GOD and that made me start laughing. He said nobody can explain the lack of a mechanism and it's like the answer is there is no mechanism. In my most recent awakening I got to experience the plain observational lack of a mechanism and its funny because duality can never explain it. We are too use to control. So notice his issue? He says there is no control in our lives, but argues that everything is predetermined which is an argument of control. For his argument to work according to his own paradigm a controller needs to exist. So he is arguing contradiction while denying contradiction. Its a shame such an intelligent man cannot realize he is defeating his own argument. He doesn't realize that if everything is predetermined choice cannot exist. Which is an impossibility. The correct answer is it is both determined, and not determined. There are a set of choices, once you choose certain things you set things in motion. Certain decisions have no wiggle room while some decisions do. The less wiggle room the more deterministic. Also you can beat his argument of biology by saying that if humans become aware of the biological argument then those who have biological disorders are not doomed to be unable to get the help they need. So awareness in the environment increases the free will of those with biological disorders by increasing their choice. Determinism excludes influence, which would take away your ability to change circumstances. This is why determinists always lose in the end their arguments have holes and are intellectually lazy. They like to show up at the end of an event and say it was always going to happen that way. Without realizing that the existence of change defeats determinism. There can be no change if it is all determined. It is both determined, and also not so. God is aware that it is free to make any determination and also free to not. God makes things determined to create linear time and consistency and order. An ignorant view of the existence of God will make you look foolish in these discussions.

Duality is not a trap. The bias against a duality is a trap. Non-duality INCLUDES duality. The trap is to deny the existence of a duality which is a limitation. I am getting so tired of you spiritual seekers who lack nuance and discernment speaking as if you have authority. You lack BOTH awareness and consciousness and attempt to speak as if you do. You do not. Words have multiple definitions. Awareness and Consciousness are both the same but they are also different. Without that difference the birth of something new cannot be created. There is no creation or exploration without duality. And here is the BIG kicker, there can be NO DISAGREEMENT without duality. You literally called duality a trap, and said I am describing duality, when you did the MOMENT you called it a trap and disagreed with me. So you have been describing yourself the entire time because you fear duality and call it a trap. Everyone else on these forums don't fall into the trap of falsehood by denying duality. You will not turn air conditioning on in the winter and the heater on during the summer. You will not go to the Artic and eat ice cubes, duality, difference does exist. Don't allow those who deny their lived experience to misguide you.

That's an interesting interpretation to say the least. You got the gist of it. But it goes deeper. Awareness has no duality, it includes both perceiver and perceived. Awareness is formless and has no map, the ability to be conscious of awareness is the ability to construct maps/symbols in an ordered way. For example a human and a flower are equal in awareness, but a human is more conscious than a flower. A flower doesn't have an individualized self to reflect upon its awareness and create in a dynamic way. That gift of consciousness is bestowed upon humans. Raising your consciousness allows you to grow as a creator, and reflect the image of the universal creator through the human body. Its' a precious gift we are given and get to enjoy and share.

All substances have varying effects on the person who uses them. For me specifically edibles raised my awareness and increased by emotional intelligence. It unlocked creative blockages I didn't even know existed. As always, all opinions/perspectives surrounding its use is based on your personal experiences.

https://time.com/6282314/sleepwalking-trauma-effect-brain/ https://www.webmd.com/sleep-disorders/sleep-paralysis Some people sleep walk and this is caused by the body not being paralyzed which is the case normally when you go to sleep, and some people experience body paralysis but are fully awake. For people who struggle with sleep paralysis it is scary for them because they feel trapped in their body and they cannot move, and for people who sleep walk they are afraid to go to sleep because they wake up somewhere else. ^^^Crazy life to live. I don't take my ability to go to sleep peacefully for granted.

God is discovered by the irrational, but they cannot explain, God is resisted by the rational because God cannot be explained. You must become irrational, and master irrationality so well you become rational, you must become so rational you become irrational. And thus you will be able to collapse the duality and explain that which cannot be explained. All of life has taught you this, if only you open your eyes. ^^^And yes I am being cryptic and mystic now because I notice you don't want direct pointers, you want to investigate for yourself so investigate to your hearts content and get lost if you will. LOL.

All Egos express themselves differently but all Egos actually want the same thing. As such you can use this tool to help you understand your ego and the egos of those around you. 1. All Egos ultimately desire comfortability. When the Ego is in their comfort zone they define that as GOOD. Whatever niche, or habit the Ego has carved out it will desire to stay in there unless some condition puts pressure on it to act/move differently. 2. All Egos desire Mastery, which is rooted in their desire for control. Egos desire to have respect, importance, and control. As such they want to be great at everything they touch, as this will give them complete control/autonomy. 3. All Egos desire attention of some kind, this is rooted in the Egos desire to share their accumulated experiences with an OTHER. Egos love to feel connected. 4. All Egos desire leaving a legacy or mark of some kind. The Egos greatest fear is to die and be forgotten, this is why it moves to reproduce it self in some way whether through invention, teaching, or sexual reproduction it desires to spread its influence in some fashion to exist long after it does. Now even though these are the Ego's desire it does not mean that the Ego will express its desire for these above mentioned categories in a functional way. If the Ego is afraid it will actually deny sometimes it has these desires which causes it to secretly try to obtain these desires through the expression of their Shadow. For instance an Ego will claim it wants to be alone and doesn't want any form of attention, yet it will unconsciously still seek it and deny that is what it is doing. Egos desire for comfort is why habits are so hard to break. Egos desire for mastery is why it is sensitive to criticism and it either becomes a perfectionist, or a jaded nihilist. Egos desire for attention is why it will bully, troll, or take on the role of hero and defend against this. Every Ego wants to look powerful and this is why they keep secrets, and are only transparent when it feeds the image of them being noble and virtuous. Every Ego believes it is the most important Ego. Egos love to say "I'm different, I'm not like everyone else" and it looks for features or characteristics that can make it stand out. Egos take pride in being different, they fear being the SAME/ONENESS and this is the cause of all conflicts ultimately. It's why even in close functional relationships the Ego will eventually say it feels like it is "Losing itself" in the relationship and will seek some form of differentiation. If you notice all these desires are well-meaning, which is proof the Ego isn't evil it is focused on surviving the best way it can. The issue is when said Ego is ignorant it will respond in dysfunctional ways to get its needs met. So what is Ego? The Ego is the totality of everything associated with your Avatar. The strongest aspect of that being your memory. We can divide it into two types of memories. Your psychological memory of your life story and all it entails, and your biological memory/body. Enlightenment does not rid you of ego, it rids the ego of controlling your actions. When you become Enlightened you will still respond to the Name of your character. When Enlightened you will still need to eat food. All these are egoic actions, all these actions still create conflict of interest. So what's the difference? An Enlightened person is not very attached to survival. So they are okay with the bare minimum needed to survive. As such they are more authentic and express themselves freely regardless of the opinions of others. Because an Enlightened person has complete Self-Acceptance...they don't care whether they live or die because they know....what you call life and death are imaginary. You can summarize everything I said above in one fell swoop with this one phrase. The Ego seeks to be all powerful, eternal, to explore the totality of what it is in experience, and then share all that with an other. Sound familiar?

Here is Lebron celebrating missing a layup.

As a creator you were given the gift of the ego. The ego I like to joke= Every Gathered Opinion. This ego is designed to evaluate, extrapolate meaning, and categorize/label what is being experienced into a particular classification/box. This is helpful in being able to store information/data, and to compare and contrast it with other data. The ego's purpose is to push for ever new creative expression by looking for limitations in what is being expressed. What the ego looks for it creates, but due to ignorance of this process the ego can believe that its not that it creates it, but that its creation of meaning is inherent, or evident. This is what creates bias, or what you can call classification lock, once you see one thing as a tree, everything is a tree. What is worse is once this ego has a bias of something being bad or evil, it can stop its creativity from functioning in many different ways as it is now constructed to live in an antagonistic, war like, reality. This is why I have said the MAP IS THE TERRITORY. The map is the territory when you are stuck in maps. As long as you walking lost in thought looking at your map for answers, then your map has become the territory. You must first become aware that the map is the territory, before you can drop the map and perceive the territory. All bias, is just the MAP. Anything you hate, resent, cannot stand, is just a map. Anytime you say no not this, or its actually like this, or this would be better, etc etc= This is just a map. All your maps, are symbolic interpretations that are attached to a specific meaning. All meaning= Every Gathered Opinion. The persona, the perspective= The MAP. This is at the crux of all understanding of how your mind is operating. Until you become aware of this you will be lost and confused as a creator. Why is this important? Because there are two types of criticism. There is constructive criticism, which is criticism aimed towards greater functionality of a creation, and there is what I call denigration which is the denial of the value/meaning of a creation. The moment you as a creator put something in the public eye you are not just going to get praise, you will also get criticism. Now criticism is not bad, because it serves a particular function which is to bring awareness to a limitation/lack of function. In short criticism is designed to point out dysfunctionality so the creation can expand its ability to function to a greater degree. The issue is not all criticism is functional. Majority of those who criticize do not do so with the aim to honestly push towards expansion in creativity, but instead do so to express disdain for a particular creation that does not align with their Ego/Every Gathered Opinion. As such the criticism ends up being the opposite of what it's intended purpose was supposed to be which was upliftment. Because we live in a world of dysfunctional criticism which you can call deconstructive criticism or destruction, criticism has now become demonized because of the lack of benefit that comes from its widespread unskillful use. Sure you can derive the benefit of emotional resilience, and a greater union with all that you create through the ability to see past the dysfunctional critics who masquerade as experts but since as a creator you have limited resources these critics can end up becoming just another distraction. With all this said if you aim to be a constructive critic here are some questions you can ask the creator and yourself before sharing your criticism. 1. What was the message you were trying to explain/express here? 2. Are you open to different styles of expression or are you happy with your current one? 3. What are some ways you think this can improve if any? Now notice....if you pay attention that a criticism is also a creation. This means your criticism is also open to being critiqued as well. As such understand that criticism is art, so as such it can also be haphazard and serve a particular meaning/function that way as well. For example when someone tells you "You are full of shit." This is confrontational, and direct and raw. But it serves a particular purpose. It's a direct pointer from the critic that the creator is out of alignment and being dishonest. Many think this expression is bad or wrong, but do not realize that the expression is actually meant to elicit anger. It's meant to rattle the recipient into emotional distress and deep introspection. Whenever someone calls you a fraud there is usually an immediate emotional reaction to defend and retaliate. But get this message enough times and a self-inquiry will be initiated to wonder is this true? Am I really fooling myself here? So this entire post is not meant to denigrate any style of criticism, its to bring awareness to why it exists. Now criticism also can be humor, which is just an attempt to elicit joy in others but as you know can cause conflict if it is aimed at something meant to be taken seriously. I won't go down this rabbit hole, just illuminating how different contexts, and intentions can create conflict. The simple message is...always be clear with yourself the intentions behind your actions. What you know, what you don't know, and what you desire. This will help you create more authentically both as a creator and as a critic. Awareness is a beautiful thing.
