Got it Interesting, I never saw it from that angle

Yes, in a way. Although I would frame it as: why is the religious sentiment popular across all cultures and times? Why are the maximum exponents of Religion so looked up, much more than the rest of human activitites like power, sex, science or art? Maybe because the calling is much deeper than what other disciplines can give. That makes the delusion, fascination or engrossment more intense as well. However, in a world of ilusions could it be that the pervesion of Truth made by the religious tradition over centuries, still carries a fragance of God that resonates with people? Otherwise, I can't see why it should play such an asymmetric influence in contrast with other systems. I see It wants all the goodies without doing the work and still that diluted version satisfies more than most other things, which makes them so attached and defensive about their religion. Interesting to note that this happens even within each religion, there are lower branches and higher branches. To put a few examples inside each religion (low vs high): Judaism: Halacha - Kabbalah Christianity: Contemplative and Hesychasm - Mormonism Islam: Wahhabi - Sufism Hinduism: Ritualism - Kashmir Shaivism Maybe part of the fascination comes from there as well. There is usually a lack of useful methodology in most religions to attain the states their founders Awoke to.

It can be a bit messy, but strictly speaking usually destruction is represented by the Shiva form of Maheshwara Although, who cares this is more hindu scholarship than anything else. To avoid this confusion, they prefer using the term ParamaShiva for refering to Infinite Consciousness or God. I agree, it's very useful. Moreover, It's important to grasp it in your present experience. Can you see right now what is Shiva and what is Shakti? Shiva is Pure Consciousness, Awareness, the screen, the mirror, or boundless efulgent Field of Consciousness happening. Shakti is sensations, experience, phenomena, whatever happens to be the permutation of this field, the movie. Look arround your place and other sensations happen, sounds and so on, this is the content. Lastly One has to realize that Shiva/Shakti are One and the same, nothing but useful distinctions, reconciling the eternal dilemma between Trascendence (Shiva) and Immanence (Shakti). In this way, one realizes that the Infinite and the finite are one and the same and that This present experience is absolutely magical and perfect the way it is.

From your answers, I found another way to frame it: At the core of every person lies an existential emptiness that only Awakening can satisfy. While people seek various means to fill this void, it's essential to recognize that not all that shines is Gold and even in Gold there are different karats, aka levels of Spirituality, Awakening and God-Realization.

My aunt is an oficial Homeopatic Doctor and I've been treated most minor diseases with homeopathy alone quite succesfully. When it become a major disease it was a suplementation of regular medical protocols. I'm also quite skeptical, I don't know how it works, it seems it shouldn't work, or why it does work when it does. But as empirically it has proven to be beneficial, pragmatically I'm open to homeopathy. But I wouldn't know how to defend it or argue in favour of it honestly, more than try it yourself and see if it works for you.

@Verg0 Oh that's you!!! Your work is really good in the psychonaut field.

@LambdaDelta How interesting, I bookmarked kt. Surely one day I'll try O-PCE.

Thanks for sharing. How would you describe it in terms of other substances? Let's say body relaxation like Ketamine, consciousness like 5meo, visuals like LSD, something among those lines but with vaped O-PCE. Hope to see more of your posts regarding disassociatives.

Limitation is a huge part of the workings of Consciousness. Reality is self-limiting, it limits itself, it is its own limits, you limit yourself, Pure Infinity limits itself into finity. How does it work? By Will Why? Idk, that yet The mechanisms by which everything happens seem to be intrinsically a process of transcendence and immanence or Awakening and sleeping or Consciousness and unconsciousness. I noticed the same that you did and after contemplating it for months, the breakthrough came when I realised it wasn't a trivial matter but a core aspect of Universal Mind. That was the Key Insight that cracked the nut for me. In the Kashmir Shiva Tradition manifested God is said to be performing 5 Core processes: Creation Preservation/Sustenance Destruction/Rejuvenation Delusion/Self-Deception Awakening

I sometimes don't have breakfast and when I have lunch many times I feel sleepy. Even if I sleep I don't feel much refreshed afterwards either and sometimes even more tired. Does anyone have tips on this? I've heard that having a walk can help and I've tried but also feels a bit unnatural. I get drowsy after 45min so it's not when the food is in the stomach but in the intestine.

Title name changed due to question mark symbols appearing during the crash week. User wanted to have the proper title back. @mmKay Enjoy your journal brother!

True, it happens also to me. Then maybe Featured is a better option, something that catches the eye and makes it more accessible. Although I think it appears in the feed as usual despite being pinned, correct me if I'm wrong.

@Leo Gura have you thought in featuring or pinning down the Blog Discussion Mega-Thread? It may deserve such spot, it has been both useful and popular.

Lmao my two personalities

@Michael569 Thanks for the recommendation and to everyone that showed their support to me. It really means a lot. I don't wanna be sugary but I appreciate you all. This is a very unique and amazing place.

Thanks to everyone for being here. I have nothing but gratitude for all the conversations we've had and I hope to keep the community safe and stimulating for all of us. Lots of Love

Today I have taken the Oath to be a Mod.

I think that AI will become specialized over the years to come. We'll have the best finance AI, the best engineering AI, the best image generator, the best video generator, the best coding Ai, the best AGI... There'll be market for everyone. I think it is very unlikely to make a System which is of immense scope as well as immense specialization. There has to be some more revolutions on the tech field for that. So every company will find its niche, invest heavily and monopolize it. It's very hard to keep this level of tech breakthroughs continuously, as history shows with the internet and mobile phones at some point it will stabilise and each company will satisfy particular tech needs. That's my guess. In that regard, the best eats the market till another one comes and does the same. It may become a very competitive market with high risk/reward.

LIFE IS ABSOLUTE PERFECTiON

@Leo Gura You have good dinosaurs taste

@Leo Gura I have a dead serious question for you: What is your favourite Dinosaur???

@Breakingthewall Ah yes, I see what you say. Now I understand your perspective.

@Inliytened1 Elon Musk has more money than entire countries. I certainly am looking closely what Elon Musk is doing with the US government.

How much control does a mosquito have to murder you? Very little But one small mosquito annoying you at night and you can't sleep...
