I post here because like others I have no one else to discuss this sort of topic with..I post less and participate less because the answers are not here for sure, but its entertaining to see the drama here when we are supposed to be searching for truth and not drama.. I care because in my perception Sugarcoat has a real attraction or desire to know truth, as do many of Us here, and in my experience after lots of trial and error i know finding the answers via logic or intellect won't work, its only entertainment (or socializing as she said).. I want to help those that are on a true path towards truth so I responded, plain and simple..

He's on here for hours a day everyday, as are others, its not healthy being online for hours a day that is proven, at the least this place is not so dangerous compared to other parts of the internet, at least he is super curious about Consciousness and other things Spiritual, but in the end he won't find any answers here, just more questions upon questions until he is old and on his death bed, getting him nowhere, don't have to be a genius to see that!

No, You have an Experience, we all do, individual Experiences, this is on the basic level, Human level, then there is the BEING level lets say, that is where You were are when You have Your lsd experience, the Being Level where everything is ONE, all I am saying is that on that level there is no "I", on the basic Human Level there is an "I", if there wasn't we wouldn't have existed long as a species. One way of saying, other than to say "I am the only Being in existence" is that I am You, You are Me, everything is connected and Inclusive to each other, its just that there are trillions of different forms of life, all coming from the same source, on that level we are ONE! btw I am not into non dualism ideas and fantasy that no one exists and nothing is happening lol!!!

It sounds to Me from what You wrote that Your Under Stress, which is a form of Suffering right? Enough so that your taking meds which are not good for You in the end! So my advice as I said before, is to get Yourself into a place of Balance, Harmony or Peace, there's lots of intellectual and physical practices that can help with this.. In Your OP you say the word "Regret" allot, this is living in the future and past, future is imagination since it does not exist yet, past is memory and it doesn't exist as well, only NOW actually exists, but we are all mind identified to a heavy degree, Mind is all about Past and Future, Mind cannot realize NOW, so we have to have space from it, then reality is Perceived, then One is at Peace, so Living NOW absolutely is essential, use the past to become wise from, not wounded, and imagine a future but don't live there emotionally.. Work on basic things like this, as well learn how to Breath correctly, Sit Correctly, Eat Correctly, this will all help with stopping the Stress Response, bringing harmony and Peace into Your Natural Experience, then make the decision...That's all I was sayin!

@Nito There are no large issues or decisions to make in life, things like who to get married too, what career to have, where to go to school and such, these are not large decisions. The large decisions are all about the Quality of Your Life Experience, how do You want it too be, Joyful or Miserable, take care of that, then everything else will fall into place as it should be. First make Yourself Peaceful and Healthy inside and out, then make a decision and stick to it. Never make a decision when in destress or Suffering experience, then you will shift and change Your decisions and zig zag in life! We want to go straight not zig zag, so take of the basics, first BE, then go out and DO then HAVE, don't DO Then HAVE to BE that's backwards! Good video here on this topic..

take it, your obsessed with this place obviously, it will hinder Your Spirituality!

@Meeksauce You've had an Awakening, that is Great! You realized everything is One, Complete, this is Great, this is what the Absolute Is! Problem is You still have an Ego, Body and Mind to deal with, these things provide Experience, so You came back and Realized everything is One, but then communicated that "I only Exist" solipsism stuff, which is not so Great! There is no "I" in Oneness, but there is an "I" in You and Everyone else, that is the whole point of this Existence here on Earth and Us being Humans. We can go from being totally "I", Egoic based, me/myself/I experience, which is basic Survival level instinct and Awareness, to what You Experienced which is Oneness, but is there is no "I".. If You are the only one in existence then whom are You sharing with, it would make no sense and doesn't. Just don't think about it so much or try to argue a philosophy (Solipsism), just share the experience of Oneness, this should make life for You a whole lot better, time will tell!

Real Intelligence is not based on any sort of memory. Most of what we call intelligence is not really that, or its is a low level of intelligence.. Why we Humans dominate this planet is because of our intellects, we are masters of using our memory of events, and our imagination of the future, combined with the gift of creativity and a strong built in desire to live another day and expand in all ways, we dominate all life forms today, but this is low level use of intelligence because its still on the Survival level of Life.. Yes, via music, movies, art and such we showcase another level that is beyond Survival, that is for sure, but true Intelligence is pure creativity and organization! Just think of the smallest thing, an Atom, do You think we know all there is too know about an Atom, or a proton or neutron? We may think we do, but in a few years something else will be discovered about it, it is the same with everything and anything in the Universe including Yourself, we think we know everything about, then something else is discovered, but where did all of this come from, how did it all come into existence from Nothing?? That is true Intelligence, what was there before the supposed Big Bang, or Bangs, how did all of this, what we can see via telescopes and microscopes, come into material existence from Nothing? What has allowed Evolution to happen, what is allowing Gravity to happen, what is allowing a tree/leaves to change color at a certain time of the year when it doesn't know about time? There are a billion things like this and more.. There are millions of chemical processes going on in your body right now, what is controlling it, what is monitoring it, how did this level of sophistication come about, not only in You but in Billions of others.. That is True Intelligence, Absolute is True Intelligence, way beyond what our minds or science will ever be able to explain or find out..

Ultimately we can be in a state of Deep Sleep but still being able to function, completely relaxed but totally alert and aware, I would imagine that is happening from the Energy level, where Your Energies (Prana, Kundalini) is intense and very active in most all the chakras, there's lots of levels to this... I used the word Soul to represent what we are, they call it Atman in Hinduism or Yoga, Atman is the same as Brahman basically (there are other words used in Sanskrit as well), I relate it to a drop of the Ocean analogy, we are the drops, Absolute/Brahman is the Ocean itself, we are just tinier versions of it and Embodied with a Body and Mind complex... Karma is like the Software You have in Your Body, the Body and Brain are the Hardware.. Karma is just the residual consequence of all the Actions You have taken, action is in 4 areas, Body/Mind/Emotion/Energy, there are different types of Karma as well, there is the present day karma which we are creating each second or hour/day, there is the past karma created within this lifetime and the karma from the previous lifetimes.. Karma can also be defined as cause and affect, but its not a reward or punishment system, its just the software You have at the moment.. We can rise above the Karmic affect by Living Now Totally, Accepting Now Totally, Responding to Now Totally (vs. being reactive which is unconscious actions)..

First bringing to light the problem, second for myself doing the opposite of what I see, I'm polite, courteous, respect laws and basic traffic rules, open doors for ppl, etc etc... If I want to see the light, I must be it first!

Yes we live a much higher standard of living than ever before, the tech we have created has allowed that for sure, but as Human Beings we always strive for more, this is Desire, the desire to Expand, be more than what You are right now, so that will always be the case.. Suffering does not come from surroundings, situations, the homeless drug addict suffers as does the Richest most Successful ppl (see Bieber and others), so what is is that is Suffering? Your Unconsciousness causes Suffering, we've seen the studies and reports, ppl with nothing can be happy, content, settled, balanced... I have a job, pays well, good benefits, vacation time, I go on yearly trip to a warm place and relax, but my daily life at work sucks in my Experience, some luv it, I don't.. It probably a combination of a bunch of things, not doing what I want to be doing, not creating, not free physically, etc... It doesn't matter what my ancestors went thru or how they lived, when its a bad day its a bad day lol...That is how we are, but we can control it better to that one is at Peace no matter what basically, that is what I work on, its a daily practice.. But for sure, the systems we have no don't work for the masses, we have the resources to feed, house and provide basics for everyone, but its not profitable to do that, that is the problem, greed and unconsciousness!

The organization itself, TVP may be a failure in bringing about more awareness of what it proposes and getting it to become a Reality! But the idea of a Resource Based Economy is a good one, getting rid of money and our present day economic systems, which are not working really, they work up to a point, our standard of living has risen but ppl are still slaves to the dollar and inflation is now killing Us. I think it peaked decades ago but its not working Now for sure... One big problem in todays world is that there are too many ideas and promoters floating around, in the end anyone looking for a solution will find it confusing to navigate, which idea or concept to accept, which leader or organization to follow and get involved with??? It causes conflict and identification problems! The basics are we need to provide for All equally, no one should be homeless, down and out depressed and angry about life, using drugs or whatever to numb themselves when we have the tech and ability to provide for all in basic ways.. Money and exchanging it is outdated, only the power players want it to stay this way, and it will... For sure its going to take time to change the ideologies of this, the power dynamics and such, but do we have the time, I am not so sure about that!!

Clarity, You see Reality and Situations more clearly, not filtered as much by needs and wants, or the way You think it should be.. Greater Intuitiveness, due to higher Clarity, You will see outcomes and consequences better, read ppl better.. Calmer more Peaceful, less reactive, which gives You more access to the natural intelligence within Us..

Yes but we may not have that much time to fix it, you can tell a politician straight to his face that the world is coming to an end, and he/she will think of what it will take to get re-elected again, its that bad!!

They should but they aren't imo, they are just promoting ideological identification, which only enhances something that is not Reality, hence leading someone further away from Truth! Its this way on all forums, they lead to one having to defend their identities, not looking foolish or wrong in others eyes.. Don't make Spirituality a Study, its a personal journey, just find a method and mentor/guru and do it, its that simple, talking about it forever leads to the opposite of what it is all about!

@Bjorn K Holmstrom Thanks! Now its just a matter of How to do this, to build functional alternatives now, with all this polarity in politics and society! What I find frustrating about politics is when one side thinks they have all the answers and the other side does not, here in Canada we have Question period, a daily hashing of ideas and criticism, its super childish and fake imo, anyone that has any sort of reasonable intelligence can see the game being played, its embarrassing actually, we can and should be doing much better than this! The only answer I can come up with is too fulfil my desire for Spiritual Enlightenment or close too it, be the light I want to see in the world, and get off the grid somehow or win the lottery lol!!!

Agreed! Although I am Canadian, living in Toronto, its the samething here! What bothers me the most is two fold.. 1st we have more systems set up to make things better for ppl, we can actually feed and house everyone with basic comforts but we don't, due to greed! 2nd is the People, although I understand maybe why they are this way, survival needs come first for sure, but the selfishness I witness daily is painful to witness, its everywhere, as soon as I leave my place it starts up, selfish drivers, selfish behaviours rule, and it doesn't have to be this way, in this context its not about Survival but about 'What I want, in disregard of others needs!", this really gets Me, and its everywhere! We can do better, but we don't!

@Bjorn K Holmstrom @ryoko Cool discussion Guys, I was into Venus Project long ago, I still think on some level it is the way, but as mentioned we have to evolve our Consciousness levels globally for it too work for sure.. I think we are at a critical stage in Humanity and Us surviving as a species.. There are powers that want Us to have a high Consciousness existence but there are more powers that don't and unfortunately they control the world today, and with the way things are I am not sure we are going to make it. I watched a video on the 5 extinction events recently and what is next to come, ecologically we are already in the 6th extinction event, its happening now, from what I gathered there is pretty well nothing we can do to stop it, other than prepare for life to change dramatically in the next decades, its happening faster now than ever! For sure if we can deal with what is happening, the population levels will drop dramatically, Life today will look like paradise compared to what is next to come! Also fighting against Us is just the plane crazy that is everywhere and gaining more momentum, I see the world in two ways, Nature is Beautiful, its provided Us with everything we need to Flourish, and then there is Us Human Beings, completely unaware of our True Nature and Burning up the planet to try to fulfill basic emotional needs and wants, its just crazy IMO. Venus Project is just a basic idea, it can happen, someone thought of it and it can work if we apply it, but its going to be a slow process and time is of the essence. Then there is this thing with Free Energy and such things that keep coming up once in awhile but are thwarted by the power elites that don't want things to change.. Anyways was glad to come upon this discussion, great stuff!!

Good Post and correct.. Absolute Solipsism, if One buys into they are Narcissist for sure, "I am the Only One in Existence" and all others are a figment of my imagination, this is Egoic to the highest degree.. Its simple we have separate Bodies and Minds, but we are neither of these things, what was there before the body/mind came about, what allowed it all to happen, the essence of our nature, of what we are is the same, in this there is no "I", just pure Consciousness or Shiva (that which is not), or in normal language a sort of Potentialized Intelligence, that allows anything and everything to exist, we are a sort of Expression this Intelligence, working its way thru this Dual, Karmic, Material world with super Capabilities if we strive for it, most do not! We can go from being/feeling totally separate, detached from this Intelligence or Absolute, or we can be complete intouch with it while Embodied, the choice is up to Us...

@rudirotbart I would say "God/Absolute" allows all Possibility to be Explored, not that it "Has" to happen but its Possible to Happen.. The determining factor is Free Will, or Your Ability to Respond, which Human have to most capability but few explore this today. That is why we have this thing called Spirituality, so we can explore it, Free Will, an ability to control how we are within ourselves and the consequence that result from that.. I believe if we are highly Conscious, more empowering experiences result, Peace, Happiness, Bliss are more natural for Us, and in these states Dis Empowering Life Actions don't come out of it, things like war, torture, corruption, cruelty etc... Since the ppl of this world are not highly Conscious imo, we have what we have, war and suffering everywhere, from the most wealthy nations to the poorest, its crazy on top of crazy and its getting worse.. The funny thing is those doing the most to change this, to raise Human Consciousness, get coitized for it, which is beyond Me. Ego, false Identifications, Intellectual addiction rules, and because of this Crazy is the theme of the World!

Good Post and I agree too. We're in Big Trouble! Yes there has always been terrible ppl, unkind ppl, egoic ppl, but they were limited in what they could do, they could only affect a small amount of ppl, but with technology today crazy ppl can affect allot more, the individual today is more empowered than ever before, a person can ruin you just via online stuff alone, the world is more crazy today then ever IMO...

I'm not, in Canada we have more gun control but there are more and more shootings each year, from illegal gun possession,, Of course there has to be regulations and control, too many crazies out there and more arising each year, but in the end the determining factor like over 70% of it is mental health problems which are on the rise, this is due to many factors, mainly we have a fucked up society and media and influences, as well as an economic system that is enslaving ppl, forcing desperation and more crazy,,, This shit is happening daily and more often now... https://toronto.citynews.ca/2025/08/30/2-men-arrested-following-daytime-shooting-in-brampton-neighbourhood-last-month/

This has more to do with Survival Instinct.. Since most are Unconscious, leaders as well, if a capability arises they will use it, and if one country has it the others will get it, its Moloch's, where one stupid act leads to another and another...

I'm not against rules and laws, of course we need them because of all the crazy that is out there, not because of the access to the tool... just saying its more about the crazy than the tool...

No, the access to the tool has a smaller role than who is using the tool... Everyday I drive within the city, everyday within 5 min of starting my drive I see infractions upon infractions, from small ones to bigger ones, and everyday ppl are dying or suffering due to all of these infractions taking place, if no one was driving there would be no infractions, so its the driver that is the main force behind accidents, not the vehicle, the vehicle/gun has no will of its own, the driver/shooter does... We only have so many law, so many more laws being created because of the more crazy that is going on. Religion is cheap and free psychiatry, ppl believe in moral codes or commandments, it keeps them in place via guilt, or at least it did in days gone by, not as much these days, today ppl feel like what happened to others won't happen to them, but it does on a daily basis...All do to Unconsciousness of what Is, that is the main problem, and high level of Consciousness is only available to Humans! https://toronto.citynews.ca/2025/08/30/1-man-dead-3-injured-in-alleged-street-racing-crash-on-hwy-401/
