Exactly, things are the way they must be and I must tell you that this kind of attitude will not help us at all. It will help your suffering, but not that of your brothers and sisters. It seems like you cannot see the wonderful oppurtunity and potential we have been given here. Everything must be the way it is, but everything must also be as free as it is. You cannot deny your own freedom with the presence of perfection. This is what I mean, Christ would have not even come up with such an excuse. To him things being exactly the way they have to be fuel his compassion and action. He did not hide behind it in an attempt to find satisfaction. One compelling narrative can change the world. And whether you want to or not, you are inevitably creating a narrative for yourself. "Things are exactly as the must be". Ask yourself, why are you telling us this? Why are you saying that which is so obvious, which is present in all actions, unless it shall motivate actions itself? You wouldn't say this if you had no desire to change that which must be. Because the desire to change that which must be is part of that which must be, and it is wonderful and perfect this way.

I think climate scientists predict that some parts of the world like for example Europe will become far colder due to the distruption of the golf stream, so I would not hold my breath. Dependning on where you live it might become far colder. It will be the poor people in underdeveloped countries who will feel, and already feel, the greatest impact from climate change.

This is relative and the reason why moral progress is paramount. If we had included our brothers and sisters living in nature to be part of our identity, we would have by now felt the urge to take action. What is lacking is not technology but simply our ability to mobilize action. And our ability to mobilize action is directly linked towards our identities and how evolved they are. What er require is a compelling narrative that will be able to unify us into the voluntary adoption of responsibility for all our brothers and sisters. The fundamental problems of moral nihilism is that it is like throwing out one of the most important tools the Divine has given us to contribute to it's Creation in an effective manner. Notice that after enlightenment Christ was motivated to help people to the degree that he would sacrifice his life for others. What is the difference between him and you? He has not philosophized himself out of compassion and empathy and justified his inaction with that which ironically fuels all actions.

Not to forget different constitutional types which are not at all recognized in western medicine. Looking at ayurveda for example for Vatas, like what I am, fasting can have negative effects, which is something I actually observed myself over time. Fasting worked well for me in the short term, but in the long term it deteriorated my health. On the contrary caffeine also has an especially bad effect on Vatas, which I observed aswell.

This is why responsible psychedelic use is key. And alss, I guess that's one way of god telling you to leave the toads alone. We have alternatives that are safer and do not require the exploitation of our brothers and sisters.

Best if you take them before bed, they make me a little sleepy.

There are a lot of dysfunctional people who are interested in meditation, self-improvement and psychedelics. The amount of people I know who believe in absurd conspiracy theories whilst also doing spiritual practices is staggering. A lot of nonsense is coming from the spiritual community lately due to dysfunctional people adopting these kinds of belief sets.

It's very interesting to pose the question of, how long would it take for society to cease it's discrimination against a group if that group had no way of resisting or speaking up against it's oppressors? What if they had no way of having their voice be heard? What would our current society be capable of doing to them, whilst at the same time priding itself on an illusion of equality and compassion?

Try Brahmi it can help with caffeine withdrawal.

Simple, no enough conscious people enter the educational system. Too many "conscious" people waste time circle-jerking infront of gurus. We will have enough time to circle-jerk ourselves in the future, when existential threats have been solved.

This is utterly wonderful. We know exactly what to do, we know exactly how to contribute. We live in a time in which being Loving is the easiest and most needed thing to do. The dysfunction of todays system is the most wonderful opportuninity for making your contribution to change the fate of this planet. It has never been easier before, it has never been this obvious. That which you criticize is that which you must do better. When there is more darkness, there is more room to be filled with light. The pioneers are already at work while others are sitting back and criticizing. All that is required is getting our ass up and helping those who are already helping. If there is noone helping yet, good. This is your opportunity to shape the first path.

If you do not see the love, learn to see it. He is a difficult case, but I have not seen an attempt made to understand him or to communciate honestly. I don't think anyone is really about anything. What they are about is what is chosen to be expressed by the Divine. If you want that sort of expression to cease to exist, you have to convince the Divine to express something else.

Could be, but I don't know how much these studies account for malabsorption issues. To me it seems hard to argue how sublingual tablets are not always saver to take than oral ones, especially now that gut issues seem to have become more prevalent. I seem to have issues with gluten consumption and I definitely do not want to risk to run into b12 deficiency again.

Humanity is special in that it has been given the ability to express Divinity in more diversity than previously possible. We have been given more room for the expression of Infinite Potential. Our Creativity has been expanded. Therefore our Will has been expanded. We have been given the opportunity to shape this world as we see fit. If we do not become conscious of our Creation, we will perish. And if we do become conscious of our Creation and take responsibility for it, we will thrive.

I have been reading the book Sapiens and it has really opened my mind to the importance of stories in all aspects of human life. Stories build civilizations, stories destroy civilizations. Narrative and Context are the foundation of human behaviour. This is true on an individual aswell as a collective level. For humans a life without context and narrative is a life without meaning. Humans will strive to create context and narrative, because it is what fuels all their actions. This is what makes us different from other animals. It is not intelligence, because intelligence is found in all beings and even the particles of the universe themselves. The capacity to create stories is what truly differentiate us. All art is Story. All religion is Story. All laws and morals are Story. All of history is Story. All of Future is Story. Without a coherent Story, without Context, Civilization will fall apart and disintegrate. A civilization which has a coherent Story for it's past, future and present is what will outcompete all other civilizations. Freedom of speech is the end of civilization if there is no unifying story. This is why we have the emergence of conspiracy theories. This is not dysfunction, this is a feature of Evolution. It is literally God's perfect work in action. A failure to create a unifying story will lead to the self-emergance of unifying stories. This ensures that civilizations keeps operating and progressing. In the bigger picture the desire to create the story of conspiracies is equal to the desire to create civilization, meaning and progress. In the western world the story of Christ has fallen and we have not yet found a story which replaces it. You will not win the war against conspiracy theories with facts, reason and understanding. You are fighting a force far greater than reason, science and understanding. You are fighting that which has fuel human behaviour from the dawn of mankind. You are fighting that which build the pyramids, which build all religions, which build all science, which build all spiritual practices. You are fighting the most powerful force in nature, a force which can destroy this planet or make it thrive. A force which has caused a mass extinctions on a level equivalent to the force which wiped out the dinosaurs. The evolution of stories is as important as the evolution of species. If we do not create a more compelling story than the conspiracy theorists, than religions or governments, then we will be subjugated by those stories inevitably. Without stories we do not know who we want to become, who we are and who we were. We do not know where to go, where we are and where we came from. A compelling story can change your entire life and it can change entire civilizations. And there is no stopping the stories. If you do not create a compelling story for yourself and civilization, someone else will. This is necessity, this is Nature in action. Our civilization requires a compelling and unifying narrative. A narrative stronger than all conspiracy theories, all religion and all nations. A narrative stronger than self-indulgance and selfishness. The only thing that keeps us from truly thriving is a compelling story. It will not be the scientists who will determine the future of this planet, but the story tellers. To tell a story is to shine light into the darkness of the unknown. It is one of the most powerful forms Manifestation. Fundamentally story telling is the act of actualizing the Infinite Potential of Nothingness. You can have all the potential you want, if you do not create a story so that you can manifest that potential, you will forever remain unactualized. What we need is conscious story tellers. This is by far what our civilization lacks most. We need to be better than the Alex Jones', Jordan Petersons, Donald Trumps of the world. We need to be more compelling, more unifying, more determined. Notice that all of them are creating stories in the realm of reality, not fiction. Star Wars is a wonderfully compelling story, but it is not grounded in reality. We need a stories that are attached to us, our civilization and our actual future. Fiction is not enough.

It would be interesting to try out an experiment. The next time we can try to be open about what we seek from someone else, by telling them how what ty say or do makes us feel, how we perceive it and why we would like to ask them to change their ways. It is easy for us to reduce the action of others to the action itself and not see direct and Divine Love in it. Instead of seeing an action and resenting it, we can open our hearts and try to understand where it is coming from. If we can find the Source, we can touch the Source. And if we can touch the Source we can change that which the Source manifests. If there was machine which produces something we do not like, what would happen if we kept destroying that which the machine produces? Instead we could seek to change the machine and to change the machine we would need to understand the machine. But the beautiful thing is even though changing the machine will be more difficult, we can show the machine how to change other machines aswell! One machine can affect the other, until all machines radiate Love. This will not be possible if we dislike the products of the machines so much that we cannot bear the presence of the machine. If we want to change manifestation, we must change not manifestation, but the Source itself. This is curious. What if we truly try to open our hearts and share it with our brothers and sisters? If we do not look at them as inferior, but as our equals? Only if we look at them as our equals, we will be able to see their Source, because the Source of them and us are equal. If we do not look at them as equal, we will not be able to see their Source. We can start by simply asking someone why they are doing something. Why is someone angry? Why are they behaving this way? Instead of looking at them as a way to categorize what fits into this realm or not, we can guide our attention to them. What is it that makes them special? Why is someone not following the guidelines? A true curiousity fuel by Love and compassion. I wonder what this would do.

What's actually more important is to take it sublingually. I had a b12 deficiency due to taking too little of an oral dosage (5mcg) and switched to 500mcg sublingually which helped me a lot. Sublingual gets absorbed directly and therefore omits some of the possible absorption difficulties that can occur in some people.

I've been contemplating why math is so good at what it's doing, and why physics seems to be able to predict and describe all motion so precisely. I've come across two possibilities: One is that math somehow reflects a property of the universe, or is a conversion of unknowable "principles" that we then symbolize into something that we can understand. And two is that it's a property of the mind. Instead of us existing in a universe that is truly mathematical, the mind simply creates math as a tool to create abstracted reality. I tend to compare this to aritificial intelligence. The creation of an artificial intelligence requires a system that is able to convert basic 0s and 1s into something more complex, into a system that can use the raw information efficiently to be able to manipulate it. So, in this case, dimensionality and motion itself would be the creation of the mind, these creations require a mathimatical way of abstracting and transforming raw information into another system. That would be why every motion that is percieved by the mind is inherently mathematical. It cannot be otherwise, simply because the entire simulation is mathematical. But just as the artificial intelligence, the mind cannot really grasp what the information was before it was transfered. The artificial intelligence cannot use the mathematical system to "understand" 0s and 1s, it can simply transfer them into something that fits into the existing programming. Because everything in the simulation is created with the mathematical principles, everything will be precisely predictable by these principles. Thus, the mind created a tool to simulate reality, and then discovered the tool to inspect it's own simulated reality. The raw information, the information that goes through the mathematical "filter", will never be able to be grasped with mathematical properties. This, in the case of the human mind, would mean that understanding something means altering it in a way to be able to manipulate it. Ironically though everything is made of information, whatever it is, just as in the AI everything is made of 0s and 1s. In other words, the mind itself is information, and the AI is 0s and 1s. Understanding information, thus, makes absolutely no sense, because information itself is what is creating understanding. Information, in this case, is another word for consciousness. You cannot understand consciousness, simply because the system that creates understanding is made out of consciousness. Infact, everything is made out of consciousness. This means, consciousness interacted with itself, and created a way to alter itself into a different "form". Information would be the raw reality. The inspection of information itself would then lead to insight into reality. This would be equivalent to the AI being able to simply be 0s and 1s, realizing that everything in existence is 0s and 1s. Thus, 0s and 1s are the source of reality, and the source of any interpretation of reality. One cannot know what 0s and 1s are, only can simply be them, and one is them at all times. This is why we fail at simple tasks like describing the colour red or any other phenomena in the mind that is not form and motion. The colour red simply is the colour red, there is no description to be made. If you want to describe the 0, you can only use a 0 to do so. It is raw reality, completely outside of abstraction and conversion. I'm not sure if this makes any sense, maybe the mathematical "filter" that is used in the mind is linked to certain properties of consciousness? The filter is consciousness, after all. Anyways, does anyone have thoughts on this?

This is an interesting question to ponder. Would god be so Loving to accept itself be put into a state of Eternal seperation, Eternal and Infinite Suffering in the state of one seperate entity that will never escape that state of suffering? So in other words, literal eternal Hell? No progress, no evolution, no return to God? Only suffering, for all of eternity, without endß Would you be able to Accept that?

As I said Brahmi can be really helpful, I felt better around the time I started taking it. Apparently caffeine has depression suppressive effect by affecting serotonin levels/sensitivity. Brahmi affects serotonin aswell by balancing it.

Take Brahmi it will help milden the symptoms. I drank one cup of coffee a day and it took 3 weeks to recover more or less. There are reports of people struggling for months with withdrawal.

So to conclude, God is limited in that it cannot create any Form which is eternal.

But why was is deemed to be this way? Logic to me is unsatisfying, because the only way logic is logical is becaused it was deemed to be the way it is. So I would have no problem in saying that something illogical could be the case. Yes, falsehood can be True. And if it cannot be, it can only not be because it was deemed to be this way.

There are a lot of wonderful dynamics at play here. We have to first make a distinction between Sentience and Consciousness. Consciousness is Existence, it is everything that Is and can Be. Sentience is a very particular form of Existence which we refer to as the mind or colloquially as consciousness The universe is Consciousness, every particle is Consciousness, everything "material" is Consciousness. The wonderful thing is that it is not merely that there is a First Cause that is somehow Groundless. The miracle of Nature is that each element is truly embedded into Groundlessness, which allows the Illusion of cause and effect. Fundamentally the question is what is the mind in terms of it's relationship to the world? Why is the rock not sentient, but the human brain is? And more importantly, why is the human brain only at certain points sentient? Why is it only sentient in very specific configurations and states? The concept of microtubules are a very important step into the right direction. There is a recognition that fundamentally sentience must somehow be captured by the physical world. This is essential. Each aspect of this universe is an expression from Infinite Potential. Infinite Potential contains every possible State of Being unmanifested. Once Infinite Potential is expressed into a limited manifestation it will lose it's potential. It will be limitation until it dissolves into Nothingness/infinite Potential. What is the brain fundamentally doing, then? The brain is capturing States of unmanifested Infinite Potential. The microtubules in this way allow for the unstable Infinite Potential to be balanced in a very particular manner. This allows for that Infinite Potential to be guided to generate Sentience or every particular aspects of Infinite Reality. It can guide the Expression of Nothingness into particular States of Being, like Colors, Sounds, Feelings and all other specific dimensions of Reality even the Universe itself. This is crucial to understand, because this means Minds in general can literally Understand anything possible if the structures allow for that particular Expression. The Mind is tapping into Infinite Potential and can therefore Reflect anything in Existence, any Form possible. This is because the brain is basically using Infinite Potential to express very certain outcomes. But here is another crucial part. What the brain does fundamentally is completely miraculous. The fact that a certain Expression can be Guided can only be due to the Will of God. There is no other way, because no limited Structure could possibly chose from Infinite Potential for something particular to manifest. This requires the Free Will and Infinite Wisdom. After all, there is truly Infinite Potential and for any lmiited form to chose from that Infinite Potential, it would required to dissolve into Infinite Potential. What the brain is is a machine which simply limits the expression of Infinite Potential. It's an Infinite Potential Limitation machine. So it might very well be that Quantum Physics is important in this, because at some point it will reach Nothingness. That Nothingness is what is being Limited by the brain. This is the mindblowing thing about this, you can Frame this in Infinite ways. You could say that there are Infinite pieces of Nothingness or Infinite Potential which themselves contain All of Existence, and each one of them is manipulated by a Manifested piece of Infinite Potential to manifest into a particular form of Limited Potential. And every single one of these Infinite Potentials contains literally every possible combination of Infinite Potentials manipulating each other into the expression of certain Finite Potentials. This is how you could look at reality. This means there is no beginning and end. There is no fundamental thing. The universe does not cause the brain which causes sentience. Everything causes everything equally. Everything contains everything. Your Sentience contains the Universe, all Universes, all of Existence, every possible form of manifestation and intercombination of manifestation. So in "reality", there is no brain causing or capturing anything. Everything simply is a miracle manifested into Reality so directly it is simply unfathomable to grasp. But yet there is consistency to it, and Illusion of Cause and Effect. And all of this can theoretically be Understood directly, by manifesting literally All of it within a single Mind. Your mind could literally manifest the entire universe, if God's Will deemed it so. The miracle is not Unlimited Potential, the miracle is Limitation. This is fundamentally what science does not grasp yet. So the right question in this context would be: How can the brain limit Infinity into a particular, consistent and guided way? This would, however, assume that it is not Infinity itself that creates the limitation and therefore the illusion of the structure of the brain. Science is not creating or discovering anything. Rather Infinity is allowing for the Illusion of Science discovering and creating things. Science is fundamentally the Mercy of God, as everything else in Existence is. Science is the Impossible deemed Possible. Yet Science today is so arrogant as to assume to be the arbitrator of the Possible and Impossible, when infact it itself is Impossible and only Possible becaused Free Will deemed it so. Scientists should be on their knees crying in gratitude for Science having been allowed to be made possible.

I don't think framing it this way makes sense. I wouldn't do many things because of my limted love. I wouldn't make people starve and suffer. But from Ultimate Selflessness, I don't see how oce can say "No, I do not Accept Eternal Suffering, I do not Love Eternal Suffering!", rather one would Love Eternal Suffering as much as any other part of Creation. That would be true Selflessness. Therefore, the Infinite Expression could not be limited to a lack of Eternal Suffering.
