Define God.,..If You say some oldman with a beard up in heaven, I'll find You and Aumm You to death:) Don't luv what is, just Accept it, unless Your being tortured, pretty well impossible to luv/accept that!

First you can fly in Yours dreams, the brain does not know the difference btwn something vidly imagined and something that happened for real, so use this imagination that God gave us and fly boy:) Second when our bodies our bound by physics as are all physical things, we have limited freedom, not unlimited freedom when it comes to what body can do, but we invented planes to fly around in so we used our minds to invent planes so we can fly, Free Will for me is more about choosing how I am within myself, what I create within myself and via that choice I can determine where my life is going, vs having no control, feeling like shit and doing nothing about it and nothing happening in life other than suffering..

The playing ground is chalked out and constructed (predetermined), all for You to PLAY how you please (Free will)!

@Breakingthewall Nice!!! Now for the Ya Butts below:)

When I was heavily training in Wing Chun I had endless energy because I luv'd it, i had practice 4 times a week, 3hrs on Saturday mornings, and after practice at night at my security job I would practice some more. When You luv something there is endless energy available, but when You luv yourself its not so empowering for others around You, since its all about Me, Myself and I, no room for anyone else.. Its the same with my yoga practice, no need for motivation, i'm internally inspired to see where it takes me, so far its going well:)

I did not insult You, You choose to feel insulted:)

Thank You for bringing the thread back to the top:)

This is very Important for Spiritual Seekers, Knowers and ppl Interested in such things! Truth is the Authority, but what is Truth? You are Truth in Your Essential nature, its just hidden from You for many reasons! There are many way/methods to remove this hidden Truth within You, this is why it is called Enlightenment, Your hidden Truth is Darkness, the processes bring Light to this Darkness and now You can see and Experience this hidden Truth.. Authority is not Truth, basically in this context, no book written, no speaker, no one sharing the Truth is the Truth, they can only inspire, share methods, help You along the way, do not identify with this person, just use them as a tool for Your own Enlightenment, then the Light will shine on You Too!!

I'll find You and Aummm you to death if You keep this up:)

no, I'm just thru with discussing things with spiritual idiots!

more hogwash lol.. I guess I'm going to hell for posting the Adam Chan video about Taoism the other day...gosh why would I watch a video of another person if I am so obsessed with Sadhguru?? Things that make me go ummm:)

Hogwash!

He's imagining Me, I am Imagining Him,,,It makes no sense too me why anyone would buy into this way of belief or understanding how life is but to each their own:) Taking psychedelics and then coming out of it thinking this is the Reality of Life, well I can take coke and think I am superman, does that mean that is reality? NO!

I've been watching these E Comm guys, lots of them from the Netherlands, they are very conformist.. I only watch to get some info on how they get so rich lol, but in essence they all do the samethings, once they get some cash flow and financial success they all move to Dubai, they all network with one another and talk about ad creatives, scaling, supply chains and eventually turning the ecomm business into a Brand, then they go on trips to either Ibiza, or Marabella, rent an expensive house and cars for a week or mth and then work work work, and for a break in their day they go for coffee, workout by the beach, talk shop together, then maybe on Friday or Saturday night party, its like they are all clones lol, but they are raking in the dough!! They most all seem like nice guys for sure, I haven't seen any videos with Women doing this though which is strange!!

Generally Yes, most of Us are just having repeated thoughts that come from recycled data that our brain process from all the information our 5 senses have brought in since birth and even before birth while in the womb at the point where we were able to sense at all.. But someone invented or discovered electricity and how to use it, and Ramanujan claims all his math insights came from his Deva the Hindu goddess Namagiri Devi, so what does that mean? So it is possible to have original thoughts and insights, but one has to be very Conscious for this too happen which is rare nowadays!

He also says I am a figment of his imagination, I beg to differ, as I do with his opinion about Free Will.. Once Predetermination exist, Free Will has to Exist as well and visa versa, its like this with most everything, Absolute/God is a Potential/Possibility making machine, its up to You as a Human (make choices) as to how to navigate this sort of Reality where most any Possibility can come to fruition! If Free Will does not exist for You then life will turn out a certain way, karma will rule You, if You think Free Will exists and can access it, then life will go in any direction You want it too, unless an accident happens and you die which you or no one has any control over, other than what happens after You die!

OMG okay, life is too be lived as one sees fit:) That is your choice!

Egoic/Narcississtic ppl have tons of Energy, If You thought and believed You were the Actual God, would that not give You endless energy? So in that aspect it is good for You, but overall if You think You are the one and only God, what about the rest of Us? You'd probably look down on us if that was the case which is not so empowering..

Self love enhances Ego, as Love requires Two, one to do the loving and the thing being loved, unless I am misunderstanding what You mean by Self Love.. Self judgement of any kind, self respect, self hate, self esteem is egoic in nature, its You judging You, and that means two, but are You two within Yourself? If You are then a psychological problem is arising, it may become more than two within You and maybe in a year or three there will be 20 within You and so forth.. Just be Peaceful and Blissful of Your own nature, then everything will be fine, don't self judge imo!

Listen, if predetermination exist, if no control exist, so does Free Will and total control.. Too many become one sided, don't go in that direction. Do You really want to go thru life thinking You have no control? I certainly do not.. Now there is always an element of no control, I cannot control someone else driving a car and hitting my car, I can only control my car and how I drive it, so there are variable in situations like that.. But when it comes to how I respond to the situation of getting hit by another car, that is totally under my control if I want it too be, as is my interior Experience of Life, that is under my control if I want it too be and that is where Life is found! None of Us have ever experienced anything outside of ourselves, all Experience happens within You/Each of Us, so we can control how we experience life, how we respond to life and situations, accepting of life situations, and living Now or past/future, that is all under our control if I want it too be..

Tate is a total narcissist full stop, he luv's himself more than anything, and goes out to make others luv him too which enhances his ego and narcissism problem.. Loving Yourself is also a form of insanity and creates more ego problems!

They wouldn't be dead loi. They would just not be functioning well in a society, I think in severe cases of autism that sort of person is egoless, non existent hence why they cannot relate to their parents or anyone...

Most ppls thoughts are recycled data, memory coming up within this moment and stealing the moment away from them..This means what happened in the past will happen again now and in the future, so they are ruled by the past, but past does not exist, so they are ruled by something that does not exist which is insanity! Mind is past/memory and future/imagination orientated, not NOW orientated imo! How to have an original thought? This is only done via Awareness, if You highly Aware of What Is and who You are, then You can have original thoughts, as Awareness is a form Intelligence that is not memory based, its fresh, new, creative and Yours to use if You get intouch with it!

Yes I think so,, We are meant to test our boundaries all the time, to go beyond where we are right now, but if we attach to the outcome, the success, then that may lead us off course if we identify with it as "This is what I am", identity is Ego, and if You can't take of the mask of Ego then trouble arises.. Stallone talked about this, and the first 3 Rocky movies are all about this, in Rocky 1 he was just a humbled down man with no chance for anything, then an opportunity comes and he takes it, after the 1st one notice the changes in Rocky, he wants more, not satisfied with the first fight with Apollo even though he did something no one else ever did, then watch Rocky 3 this is about dealing with Success and what it does too You, he need to get his "Eye of the Tiger" back, to do that he totally transformed himself, a great example of the problems with Success and how Ego arises.. Those movies reflect what happened to Stallone in his personal life...

Well Put! Awareness is another form of Intelligence really, and its not memory based, Karma is memory based, so that is how it dissolves it and gives us back our Free Will, We are designed to be naturally Happy and Health in Mind, Body and Spirit, our chemical make up proves it, cortisol and other stress related hormones destroy our bodies and minds, healthy doses of dopamine, serotonin, oxytocin, and other "happy" chems that are naturally produced in our body promote growth and health for Us, so that is it right there..
