as if human beings and whatever we touch and transform were separated from god. you say "everything is a distraction"? i say "everything is god itself". you can't judge a particular kind of lifestyle from the absolute perspective. this is the same mistake made by religious fundamentalists: they think that they can derive morality from the idea of a separated god.

you are the one resisting to notice that it's all you, telling yourself to stop resisting

you can be aware of the fabric of reality, but you cannot know how it happens.

@Pure Imagination write down every small detail about life that makes you impatient. choose 1~2 of them every day and be ready when it happens. this kind of work takes TIME.

@ValiantSalvatore what reborns? it's impossible to really know the answer to this kind of question if you haven't fully realized True Nature. whatever i say will sound like dogma.

more real than this is impossible.

who is "you"?

@Serotoninluv uploading memory to a computer is completely possible in theory. the current barrier is our engineering skills. keep in mind that uploading memory is thousands miles away from allowing a computer to behave like a person, as lay people think. in order to make a computer behave like a person, every mechanic of the brain would have to be mimicked such as learning and decoding inputs. also, the brain is not the only node of processing for decision making... the spine, the heart and the gut are also capable of making decisions on their own.

no. this is the core mystery of existence. the universe did/does. it happens when you buy a new computer. i think you're just confusing what you call by "you". the closest that you can come from grasping the absolute perspective with the mind is by replacing every pronoun by "god", "universe", "reality", "existence" or something like that. consciousness is the fabric of reality. i don't have consciousness. this body and this mind are made out of consciousness.

computers are made out of consciousness

nah, i don't care that much about being right anymore. it doesn't feed me. realizing my own flaws feed me.

i just had this insight that this is actually a good thread. struggles and triggers are powerful vehicles for growth, if faced properly. it's a chance for the actualized.org community to grow!

experience...

it's alright. take your time. remember that growth is also about healing. it's impossible to teach well without a soft heart. words of wisdom feel friendly, not confronting.

@Joseph Maynor i don't know how sincere you are about this process, but you've been here for a while... your intellectual pride is off the roof. i'm not saying that you're not smart. you're way smarter than me. i'm just saying that you cannot go very far if you're that attached to the intellect. haven't you asked yourself why you get so triggered when someone claims to be more developed than you? what if i said that you're not enlightened, would you be able not to argue with me trying to prove otherwise? just a tip from a friend.

i've achieved a few things up to my 25's without knowing law of attraction. the output was an anxious, tired, depressed, needy and neurotic guy. there is a way to achieve things within the flow state. in fact, i've achieved more on the last 4 years of my life than on the first 25 without spending nearly 1/10 of the energy i spent before. edit: i'll stop it here. i'm starting to sound dogmatic. these things have to be found by each person.

@John Charles fundamentally, you cannot die. only what you think about yourself dies... if you let it go.

zazen, self inquiry, hatha/kundalini yoga and ayahuasca.

yes. i have no emotional/mental/existential struggles. life feels great everyday. its been 3~4 years.

@Tony 845 i am here for those in deep shit. maybe my experience can serve someone.

find someone who's at least as interested in self development as you are. i found my wife in a workshop about vegan burgers and yoga. we started to know each other and we found out that both of us were deeply interested in self development. that's when we noticed that we should start a serious relationship. starting from a place of neediness and insecurity is not a legit motivation imo. extra/edit: if you are in a relationship where the fear of hurt is bigger than the thirst for truth, you're in serious trouble.

so a relationship that works out for you is her responsibility. interesting. then what would be a good relationship for her?

then quit teachers. beliefs are helpless. do the entire work on your own or you won't ever reach liberation.

@Shaun because everything is an illusion and everything is real.

i got a 2/10 social market value. oh wow, i'm such a poor being. my life sucks! shame on me! seriously now, i did get a 2/10 even though i am married with the sweetest woman on earth. and as an extra, she's really cute as well. i've always been terrible at "gaming". in the end, the true beauty of a human being lies on their fluency and commitment with health and human virtues.
