Some degree? Sure.

Can't find that on Google Maps.

Hmm, Jak and Daxter and Uncharted.

I particularly loved, and felt loved by, making others laugh, even at myself. Sharing funny moments and silly jokes with others. Also, having a connection and intimacy with someone; feeling safe to talk about similar interests that I didn't feel like I could share with most people. For example, when I was little, videogames were for "nerds", so simply talking about this and being listened to by someone who shared that passion was pretty cool.

Saves money Less environmental impact Instant delivery I buy a few physical books every year though. They make knowledge tangible. They're in front of you. Physical is great.

Let's buy a PS5 for the monks to play in the monastery.

Yep

Barely

I would question my own consciousness in the matter before readily assuming being "realized." Is it really true or is it simply a belief, conviction or conclusion? You seem to conflate enlightenment with transformation. Youre also coming from value systems (shoulds and shouldn'ts) and morality, which isn't what the work is about. Be honest. That's what I'm working on and what i recommend you.

Ay la hostia Lol

I like Leo's advice. Also, buy books.

Removing distractions and doing nothing for awhile gives me a certain clarity as to the potential for increased energy. Relaxing at a profound level physically, mentally and emotionally seems to be an effective principle in this regard. Fasting and semen retention. Consistent sleep schedule. Exercising daily. Cold showers. Meditation. Breathing. As Leo has already alluded to, it's more about substraction than addition. Changing your disposition is underrated.

What Elon says resonates with me. It sounds good, on paper. I'm all in with the open source narrative, preventing bots, and authenticating humans. What's potentially dangerous is the "absolutist" free speech aspect. Could go really well in some ways and extremely bad in others. Speculation aside, we'll have to wait in order to see how much and in which ways the platform changes.

Nice, thank you.

37 tacos. Leo, happy birthday!

Had an unexpected experience while walking the dog. Let me try to put it into words: I was there. It was me and now, and I was consciousness. There was no division in my experience. My sense of self disappeared and yet I was there. Before the event, there was radical openness. I was simply "holding" the question of my nature in no particular form. There was also an unprecedented sense of freedom and bliss. The state of openness remained throughout the experience. It was profoundly beautiful. The aftereffect lasted for about two hours. I'm avoiding hype and misrepresentation as best as I can. Thoughts? Help me clarify what went on, if you will.

Got it, thank you.

Perhaps your nature wasn’t born, therefore can’t die. You are “that” now. UnbornTao

I asked Leo. “No comment” was his response. I guess we’ll have to be patient.

If your nature is infinite, and form is by definition limited, then you are formless. So, even now you don’t exist as form. Become conscious of who and what you are.

Who is “we”? In my own investigations, reading philosophical doctrines has been fascinating, most of the time. But there’s a tendency of taking on these inventions as true, especially if they come from a respected source. Resisting that impulse is essential in order to keep an open investigation. What is any philosophy, in the end? A belief system. Seems like you believe in solipsism and are extrapolating based on that.
