Yeah, I might need to experience that to crack this question lol

Yeah, in a sense they have a more pure consciousness. But they are less aware of things in reality than the stage that goes beyond it. Their scope of experience is more limited. The thing I'm wrestling here is that, the phenomenon of consciouness getting more and more aware of things might just be an experience of this dream, and it is not happening across the board in every conceivable possibility.

How do you know this? Do you think someone like Wilber didn't consider or study postmodernism deep enough? That seems really unlikely. To deny something you have to either acknowledge it's existence and then deny it, or to consider the possibility of it existing and still deny it. Both of which postmodernism don't do. Postmodernism doesn't know what absolute truth is, and not only that but it's not even curious to discover whether or not it is the case. It assumes it doesn't exist. Postmodernism doesn't see itself as just another perspective in the epistemic anarchy, it doesn't go full circle. It is true that everything is subjective and relative, but if that's the case, then, even the statement of everything being relative is itself relative, and just another perspective. Postmodernism doesn't make this leap, and that's the greatest blind spot of it.

Leo Gurism The 3000's religion lmao.

How so? You just said there is something. Let's say there's an evil demon tricking you right now, there you have it, an evil demon, and where is here btw? What if there`s an evil demon tricking him too? What if god constructed a dream where there's nothing but demons tricking each other for infinity? But don't miss the point: THE One who's constructing or allowing things to happen, the thing that percolates all layers of deception/dreams, is God. Do you see that the meaning of there's no ground is both there is something and there isnt? That's literally the awe of God

It is illusory in the sense that it isnt happening anywhere, and that means it never happened at all. Your life never happened.

Still if it isn't the case, where is that confusion occuring? Who's really pondering?

Proof, is just a perspective in the mind of God. You are here right now, your hand is right in front of you, what is THAT?

Then you are anti-god, because God is total

Look at your hand

Good question, need to ponder that. Distinction is more fundamental than logic. Logic is one form of distinction, an aspect of this dream. Distinction is form, there are an infinite ammount of forms imaginable, but not all of them(or even most of them) are logical. Logic does seems to be fundamental to the human experience, but that's just a function of this state of consciousness in particular, that does not mean it exists in other state of consciousness or other beings.

I find many parallels between wanting, desire and my meditation practice. In the past, as I accomplished and satisfied desires, I often was left with a sense of emptiness. I disliked this, so I filled it with pursuit. I then began meditation. Accomplishing everything I want gave way to the same emptiness meditation presented. When I sat with the emptiness, the Divine really stepped in. All stripped away so I was ready to be filled with something Else. The trick for most: don't get caught in the loop of endless pursuit! Well, yeah, desire and ambition are self-deception. It will never truly fullfill nor satisfy you. But I don't judge people who have a lot of desires, this recogniton may take decades or even lifetimes to realize. Only god can truly satisfy. The yogis have realized this to their bones, that's why they don't give two fucks about the world lol

Meditation is about attention and being aware. It's ok if you are thinking all the time, but are you aware? That's the only question. Can you think only when you want? Meditation is also about self-mastery, if you want to look at it that way.

You are always meditating. The thing is you are not AWARE when you start thinking, you get lost in thinking and so you forget yourself/awareness. Try to see the exact moment you get into thinking, and see the magic start happening.

Pass me some internet m'lady💊

No, it's just pixels on a screen. Wake up.

Great post. Also, long time no see. It seems you didn't choose Mahasamadhi yet

God is so amazing that it cannot help itself, it drowns in its own profoundness.

In those decades, in that lifetime, did it have spirituality in it? Did it have clues that you were in fact dreaming? I mean one's life could literally be a trip, and when you die you wake up in a ayahuasca ceremony lol, consciousness can and probably already have dreamed that up.

Yeah people usually don't steelman China style of government. What China has achieved so fast and with such effiency couldn't be achieved through the partisanship of current democracy, with different people coming to power and prioritizing different projects; it's just a mess in effiency and optimization honestly.

How can survival be anything more than physical stuff? I mean, all human needs are physical, be it sex, power, fame, comfort, knowledge, success, money, family, psychological needs. The only thing that is non-physical is spirituality and awakening.

You're assuming a bunch of stuff. What if I have financial literacy, then what? Just because some fools that won the lottery couldn't handle power that doesn't mean it applies to me. Depending on the prize, even the question of financial literacy is hilarious, you could just live out of the interest of the prize itself. In that way you wouldn't even need to touch the prize money. In my view winning the lottery could remove the pressure to compete with others. That doesn't mean you wouldn't have ambition or life purpose, but your path would be without the pressure to feed yourself and to pay the bills. It's actually the most optimal way if you want quality work and development. It's how society should be if we were developed enough.

What if I win the lottery? Isn't that in a sense a get out of jail free card out of survival?

Yimpa can be serious
