@Leo Gura God being infinity, can God be conscious of itself and hold up this illusion?

That falls flat on its face if it's "infinite possibilities" You're saying awake or dreaming; that's not infinity

To me that doesn't matter, you wanna say you're not awake, I'm not awake that's fine, but the problem is saying God can't be conscious of itself and create

It means truly thinking for yourself

So, God can be conscious of itself AND create/imagine us

Your concept that God can only be conscious of itself or not and if it's conscious we don't exist; falls on its face when you also say God is infinite and infinite possibilities You're not speaking of enlightenment, you're speaking of logic

So, you think God can be unaware that it's god, and yet "everything" still exists. God did that to itself then right? Made itself not conscious it is god, so you think God can do that, but can't also be conscious of being god and also imagine/create this?

I disagree with the first part How do you define awake? I think the common definition is you truly think for yourself

How could you be awake or enlightened if you claim to be? The only reason to make the claim would be a desire, therefore you're not awake

So the question of where best to raise kids is at hand. -The highbrow part of the big city -Or the peaceful countryside in driving distance of the city The thought is; in the highbrow area your kid will see the limitlessness socially, that they can do anything in society. Or more likely, that in the countryside they may think things are out of reach for them. You can expose your children to most things but where they go to school and who they grow up with really effects their perspective.

It's called me0 advaita

Real enlightenment is the conscious ability to fall back asleep. There's no end, "eternal life"

@Yarco you might get surprised of the degeneracy in the country, it's just as bad. You're actually less likely to be a victim of crime in the city in the u.s. as well. I won't be too far from the city.

@Danioover9000 @Twenty Travelling with them when they are young and then supporting them travelling later is very important to me. Growing up in their home country is important to me as well.

I'm thinking live and go to school in the city but spend time in the country, go to the small towns, farm stands, agritourism; but that still leaves out the experience growing up in the country. If you live and go to a decent school in the country, you can go to the city, travel, teach them things, maybe live close enough to the city to where they can be in sports or other clubs with those kids, you wouldn't be able to do the reverse live in the city and put them in rural groups.

Hmm, I was adamant about not moving around, letting them develop long friendships.

@Danioover9000 exactly?

It's funny you say you don't want to be a guy that uses a girl for sex. You didn't mislead her, casual sex has always been a thing. She misled you, she's using sex to get you. She's playing you, the opposite way guys play gals but it's still playing.

I don't think career choice has as much weight as most people do, I'd advise not make your life about your career, I look at jobs as a time of rest actually, once you get proficient at it anyway But yeah, social skills are very important. Tesla was the master, but Edison was a socialite, Tesla a recluse

Jordan, woods, goggins, seem to have troubled lives outside their careers. They're on top, but is that all you want? I do think they got there in a fashion similar to what you're describing but i think you have to be scared out of your gord to do it, I think they had very strong fear motivators they were running from.

@mmKay you read about how those chelators do damage though right? It's to only be used if the metal is causing a problem, I didn't think they were to be just taken like a supplement

@mmKay I figure the best way to test your levels is with urine while chelating, so you can see if you're removing anything Were you taking selenium before that test? You were really low

No one's saying to not put them in prison, everyone has agreed that should be done, you're projecting reading what you want to read and overlooking what people actually said. No one is suggesting it should be considered okay.

everyone is in the same category of hurting those we love, your argument is relative. Do you think all pedophiles across the board want to "take away" from life as you put it? Obviously not

Do you never hurt those you love?
