Yeah, this might just be a Tokyo thing. But to me personally, I doubt it is. I think the eastern mind see the world differently when it comes to sex, cheating and relationships. In the past the emperors and leaders there used to have dozen of wives and concubines -- this to me shows how their view is different in this area of life. I don't judge them at all. If anything it is more aligned with truth itself -- any form of possessiveness and jealousy is just ego games. If you were really awake all the time, would u care if your partner slept with somebody else? I doubt it lol One could say there's no such a thing as cheating, because there never was such a thing as possession in the first place.

So true, game is basically contextual and cultural. How gaming a sexy alien girl would look like? One thing I found interesting and kinda crazy is their view of cheating -- they don't seem to care as much as westerners do. Like, if the husband/boyfriend is horny and he sees a pretty prostitute somewhere, the wife won't be mad about it -- as long as he doesn't have emotions towards the person. This is insanity to most westerners lmao. Check this video :

I would say open-mindness, mental flexibility & mental and emotional detachment to any position are fundamental to higher dev. Do you think those 3 aspects are genetic?

Seems like you found your true love Congrats

Yeah, even if the usual challenge and struggles of the human life is over, there's still the whole universe to explore. Space exploration will never cease. We will go meta on this planet. Humans will never stop being curious, so there will be no shortage of meaning and purpose as we eventually go meta on the worlds we will explore.

Hardcore mode = do that in India

This is a good strategy. A somewhat hybrid approach. I've done that too. Even though I connect really deep with music, there are times that I felt that it was proper to turn it off. This is something that I developed a taste for: music without lyrics. When listening to it on a trip, I don't even feel that is music - it's something totally abstract that I can't put into words. And that is a good thing

Interesting. I generally agree with you, though I don't exclude music for insights. Maybe because I connect with music in a deep way even when sober. It is it's on psychedelic. Some insights I only had with music while others without music. I think there's value in both, in silence and with music. One is not necessarily deeper than the other in my view. But that's me anyway lol.

I see, why not use music? Is it because for you it's a distraction, or maybe something else?

Solipsism is just a pointer word. It's how people translate their experience to those who don't know what it is yet. But if one is truly honest to the bone, one will not say nothing when satori/awakening happen. No concept can fully capture what it is, and it will never will. That's why debating about this stuff is useless, you will always walk past each other and those who don't know will fight for coherence, inference and stuff like this. So don't get hung up on words or stuff like this when it comes to direct knowing. It does not come from inference, inference is a lower form of knowledge when you compare to direct knowing. By the very name of it, inference is just another fancy name for guess, you are guessing, you are incomplete, you don't know fo sure. Consider the possibility of completeness.

@Leo Gura look into your pm

Not to say that what the guy on the video is doing is right or anything, but I want to bring a scenario here to deepen our understanding. Say he went into this relationship monogamous, full on just wanting one partner and all that. But then, as he discovered more about himself and what intimacy means he came to the conclusion that monogamy is not really his thing. So then he goes and talk to his wife about it, and after much thought she agrees to be poly with him. In the scenario above, was he manipulative in your perspective? Did he discovering what he actually wants mid relationship counts as being morally and ethically wrong? I just want to understand your view on this since you do make insightful posts

Based on what you say this?

The biggest realization of Luxury as a self-deception was Buddha's luxury life . One important aspect of luxury, is that it often comes with socialization and involvement with a collective. People want to show to others that they have luxury. They are needy as fuck, desperate for attention. If we evolve enough as a species, we will laugh as how could someone care so much about luxury and such things, when the real pleasure is within.

It is not a certain way, it is every way possible. The connection with emptiness is that because there's not boundary or distinction between anything, everything penetrates everything else. Everything is everything else. So it can never be a "certain" or a "particular", even though it appears so. The "thing" that is enabling all of this, is emptiness of everything.

They do, this frame right here is timeless.

@Carl-Richard Yesterday I said I understood your reply to me in another thread, but actually reflecting upon it and seeing this post I have some things to add here: As I see, the teaching of the world is Maya is a pointer to the spiritual seeker to turn inward, forget the world and ultimately realize Nothingness. But if we do a little bit of search and read around spiritual traditions, we see that there have been teachers that said that "Empitiness is form, form is empitiness". From my explorations, this is truthful, the distinction between Consciousness(the top of the pyramid) and the World(Maya) is a illusory distiction made only to direct the spiritual seeker towards the right direction. But in the end, this distinction doesn't actually exist, you could say it, in a way, it serves only to direct the seeker. When you are looking at forms(limits) you are actually looking at the entire of reality, this is what interconnectedness, and Indras-net means. So the forms are not really limited, it is infinite too. Every part is total, complete. And with this, you get the solipsism that Leo is talking about. There's only one total thing being reflected infinitely in every other part, it's YOU.

Yes I understand. This topic is so nuanced and tricky, its like @Davino said earlier. I think even Leo's view might have changed since that video(Not fundamentally, but the various facets and implications that comes with it). Bottom line is: one should investigate this with caution, because it's where things get really scary and serious(initially).

I mean, look at what the guy wrote before I wrote this. He is clearly not the least serious in understanding the topic. I trolled a little bit with him but he continued. Sorry if it came like a ego driven thing.

Because of people like you Leo deleted his video, it`s too much for such minds.

Why should I be against talking to myself, who is stoping me? Myself? lmao

Lmao, what else is there to do? Why do anything? You clearly don't understand solipsism, it's all good.

More like showing who has a big meaty ego and needs to surrender than anything lol

Maybe because... It isn't the case. Consciousness being completely subjective and alone is more beautiful, more profound, and more loving than if it were a collective.

No, the only thing that exists is subjectivity. I exist.
