The Crocodile

It's said that if you master kumbhaka you can levitate.

I would get more clarity and beauty looking at a turd dried up on the sidewalk. The painting was ug-i-ly. The mistake is thinking that because it gives any sensation at all, or that it has a unifying sensation that summates or takes you out of the world means that it's good. It's bad. Bricks and drywall and trees and streetlights are infinitely more beautiful. Whoever made that painting is like a demon creating a black hole of nasty, cloying, puke ugliness in a world that should already be more beautiful.

Yeah, being against beauty is one of the most pernicious facets of The Devil today.

Leo's creaming his jeans over some rainbow puke splatter and then projecting some taste and intelligence into it that's not even there. That painting is like Trump taste or if someone's soul resonates with Sadhguru, or if they think their soul does. If their soul is working with that level for a bit but they mistakenly think that it's universal and higher and reflects some open cumulative equanimous balance, when it's just horrible.

Nope, that picture destroys the soul. Watch your assumptions.

Make us some whitepill content.

Well, I agree with you about the painting and Leo's music taste. I just don't want to hurt him. But yes, the devil sometimes speaks through Leo's tongue and his fingertips typing. Where the devil boldly proclaims the exact opposite of the truth. Or takes a partial truth as the whole truth and gets knotted up in its partiality so much that it denies the whole actual nature of things. The painting is like Leo going into a pre-taste state.

He likes Nietzsche and so based his writing style on that, polemical.

He likes Nietzsche and so based his writing style on that, polemical. Trump also has "taste". He considers his golden hair, orange skin, blue suit and red tie, golden-and-white rooms in his mansion, big signs everywhere to be good taste. You consider your rainbow splatter and electronic music using factory patches to be good taste. Obviously you're a lot better than him at this and other things, but the principle remains the same that trump's falsehoods could have an underlying structuration of truth to it, but it's so false that he doesn't understand how false it is using the basic truths to twist around back on itself.

Oh fun fact Destiny is into that and there was a leaked video of him sucking some guy's dick.

Nope, I mean the colors and shapes themselves are actually pretty ugly, and yet I can still see everything you see if I tune into it or the positivity of the colors as the colors and the shapes as the shapes. I just prefer my perspective, otherwise I would have to value other values like "openness" or "positivity" or "beingness" over beauty.

The two types of music on the planet, at this time.

I understand the painting is compatible with your filters, but I have a problem with it. And I don't agree art is subjective. Rammstein has an objective effect, depending on who listens to it, yes, but there's an overall effect or place it has if you look at each person who's ever listened to it (and effects) as a single light on an infinite string of Christmas lights. There's a consciousness value there that's had.

To me the painting you posted looks pretty ugly. Just high-contrast, garish, total lack of meaning. Lack of form, lack of aesthetic, tasteless failure! I could see how it matches your contemplation style though, seeing different facets of things interconnected. In this you can see the brunette devilish woman is more beautiful than the blonde bride though, because there's more contrast. But the balance is more meaningful because of the character traits in it. The beauty of the bride is only here criticism of marriage and society. Also ohGr is very handsome even though he's covered in zombie makeup.

No, not me, I did.

Alright, because of you I'll never insult anybody ever again in my life (serious) because of you. But I'll leave the posts for posterity. Or you can delete them.

You mostly just seem to care about your own self-assertion more than Truth, which is why you're so mentally and spiritually lazy and getting into an internet debate. There is a paradox but you don't care to understand it or any of its facets. The contradiction I brought up is your inability to consciously reconcile the paradox and starting a retarded semantic debate to self-assert your own feelings like an asshole, while yourself being subject to the contradiction. I don't like using the word "enlightenment" in reference to becoming conscious of the Absolute because it just sucks and is subject to pretending. But you can become conscious that peace or intelligence or awareness is innate in everything as it already is, and yet a second order of peace or intelligence or awareness is created by that. The reason the term for awakening exists is the becoming-conscious or then the second order. Intelligent infinity is not just that which already is, its nature is infinite and subject to infinite variation. Which is why different levels of comprehension of reality can exist.

Can't you see you're contradicting yourself by saying that you're enlightened and he's not, when your whole premise is that everybody is enlightened? If "awareness" is the sticking point then it's purely semantic. You could just as easily say everybody is already aware just by being a being whatsoever, they're just not enlightened about the exact nature of their awareness. The ishanga guy made a point, but [insult removed by mod]

Because the supernatural exists progress can be accelerated greatly. Basically there are two or three main paths to positive human unity: 1. Earthquakes erupt at the subduction zones, megatsunamis, billions killed--humans come together out of necessity. 2. America goes down route of social democracy through AOC election + the East like Iran, China, etc. care about human rights through internal dynamics. Both blocs get over their fears and can trade and culturally merge. Once this happens the government can be spiritualized by putting awakened people in positions of high power or organization, and a world order can be established where children in school are taught healing, visualizing, meditation, trataka, compassion / loving-kindness, contemplation, God, philosophy, etc. 3. Slow, slow, slow progress. Other negative paths: 1. Unabated destruction (destruction as power-value). World ends, or becomes warrior culture. 2. Unabated manipulation (manipulation as power-value). Fascist demagoguery, world descends into deception and darkness, as if the nazis won.

Castaneda and his student Lawton call that the dark sea of awareness. Let me see what Lawton says: Not really. It's [solipsism's] a totally mistaken view of reality, based on thinking you have a real physical body. By the time you can see the emanations, you realize it's all OUTSIDE us. Not at all inside us. In fact, your goal once there might be to stop trying to remember things, and to accept that you have all of the dark sea of awareness to use as your "memory". And brain also. You KNOW that's true, when you "see" something that you couldn't have known, but yet there it is right in front of you. You NEVER stored that in any "brain". And then you verify, it is in fact true what you saw. It's possible that ALL we actually consist of, is precisely what the Eagle tries to extract from us, on death. Tendencies in our awareness. Learned by living. The Eagle doesn't remove it. Just download it. But the fright of being downloaded causes us to disperse too far, into the dark sea, since we no longer have a luminous shell to contain our awareness. And we spread too thin to be sentient anymore. --------------- And the Castaneda book The Active Side of Infinity talks about death. Lawton doesn't believe in Hindu-style reincarnation, just that most people just die once the infinite ocean collects their awareness, but sorcerers can preserve their awareness because they've become experienced with other emanational systems and how things work while they're alive.

Ah! You're actually funny! That's funny

There's just so much bullshit, it's too much to explain.
