    What do you think a dream is? Its one frame - just like a video game.  But the difference between a video game and reality is reality only needs the current frame.  There doesn't need to be a database, or code on some back end server behind the scenes.  There is no behind the scenes.  This is a very advanced realization so don't beat yourself up.  But it is absolutely true. 

    No, it isn't.

    This is beginner-level realization you could use as a starting point for something else, but it's not absolutely true.

    @Leo Gura Oh, I have a philosophic value dilemma I'm having trouble resolving if you could help.

    Basically the idea is a really "dense" and heavy reality like our physical reality because it's in comparison to a reality which is more beautiful but less dense.

    Or a reality that's infinitely extended but with more suffering versus one that's more limited but with less suffering, which is more valuable?

    Assigning valuableness to different reality configurations.

    It's definitely possible. Most of the people that claim to be doing it are probably fake though.

    There's a specific knowledge for how to do it, and even then you have to put a lot of effort into it.

    The Shiva Samhita gives explicit instructions for how to levitate with specific practices, and by them you're able to levitate it also says you're able to eat as much as you want without harm or to not eat at all, without harm.

    Tom Campbell (the physicist) went 15 days without eating trying to transcend it. And Aurobindo doing a 10-day fast and sleep depriving in solitary confinement he partially physically levitated. He also later did another fast where he said, "I fasted for 20 days, did not sleep, observed no rules in breaking the fast. I did not feel weakened. Only the body got emaciated. The physical substance in the body (cells) gets disintegrated and it must often be newly built up by food, otherwise the body sinks." Basically he didn't figure out how to replace the physical stuff in the body without other physical stuff being food, but he did remain high energy the whole time through prana.

    You guys talk shit about the right wing, and claim the left is "too compassionate"? The left is sadistic. It engages in sadistic glee. Especially when it comes to "righeous justice".

    Take examples of whenever a politician is arrested, or whenever a school shooter or pedophile gets arrested. Or the guy who killed George Floyd.

    The GLEE on their eyes. The primitive black and white morality, the "Omg that son of a bitch is going to rot in jail forever HE SO DESERVES IT" and some even COMPLAIN (as seen in this thread) whenever these horrific crimes don't lead to death sentence.

    Like, yeah, criminals are bad? Why are you so satisfied about hearing of this or that criminal experiencing deep suffering? You call that compassion? It's tribalism.

    This notion of leftists "caring too much about those poor criminals" is preposterous. Very lacking in self awareness. It's a fluffy, inaccurate characterization of the left.

    One of the talking points of the right in America is that the left is too soft on crime.
