SOUL

You can keep explaining the same thing over and over I'm not unaware of your perspective but what is inexplicable is how you think your way is the only right way.

Again that is YOUR objective of spirituality and it isn't the only spirituality that can be. Mine isn't as concerned with analyzing abstractions, I just be present. The only time I even think about my 'spirituality' is when I would try to explain it to someone else, like on here. Otherwise, it's simple. I don't give it much thought unless something arises on it's own from the subconscious and then I just watch it pass on by. Years of doing that has my subconscious a pretty quiet creature, too. It just chills. You seem to think that having an intricate belief structure that explains every perception in excruciating complication is the only way to express spirituality. Then going out into the world pushing your perception of spirituality onto others and calling other people's perception that doesn't match your own 'wrong'. Kinda weird. I know this forum is filled with lots of people doing it, this doesn't make it 'right' and others 'wrong'. It isn't the only way...no matter how much you want it to be.

Actually, my friend, your definition of spirituality isn't the commonly accepted one of 'connecting to something greater than oneself' and 'finding meaning or purpose'. 'Opening to what is' can be meaningful or that 'something greater' but not everyone seeks imaginary abstractions such as 'absolute truth' and trying to exclude everything but that from spirituality isn't openness to what is. If you were as 'open to what is' you would be 'open to' the 'what is' of others perspective of spirituality being different from yours. It's just what is...deal with it, calling it 'wrong' is just being closed to what is. You are not the authority on spirituality, either is Leo, not the churches, no gurus, there is none. Spirituality is as infinite as god and the universe is.

Well, my spirituality cultivates well being and the cessation of self suffering in my life experience, that's 'right' enough for me. You may want to revaluate your perspective of any other one that isn't your own.

All I did was ask if it was 'incorrect spirituality' if it's not all about 'absolute truth' like it is with you and you went to electroshock therapy without answering the simple question asked. Who has the difficulty? Seriously, like what is going on in your head.

So you compare someone who doesn't share your views of spirituality to electroshock therapy? That is some profound zealotry.

You talk about openness but are closed to that other's spirituality may be different from yours. Pretty judgy way to view it, seems dogmatic. Sure buddy.

Attention from who? There is no one else to get attention from.

That's what your spirituality is about. You didn't answer the question, do I have 'incorrect spirituality' if I don't care about 'absolute truth' like you do? Spirituality is not subjective and is entirely objective? Interesting concept....a very subjective concept, but interesting.

So it's 'incorrect spirituality' if it's not what you do? Does this mean you think my 'spirituality' is 'incorrect' because I'm not looking to unlock 'absolute truth' like you are? There's no search for well being, it's just being it. Searching for something as if it's what one lacks contributes to the discontent people are experiencing.

Once you get no mo self then what's next is even mo no self...

@Breakingthewall There's quite a bit of escapism masquerading as truth seeking 'awakened' spirituality, it's not much different than from most religious ideologies and mystical musings. People trying to make sense of life and the human condition with all of its challenges and hardships to find some respite from it all. Many of the things I say may on the surface seem similar to the many 'spiritual' things others talk about but I'm not sure the perspectives are all that similar. I transcend the conditional to abide in well being which is expressed in conscious experience so I can celebrate life through all its twists and turns. Labeling things as 'true or false' and 'real or illusion' has little value for this. It doesn't matter to me if my words or conceptualizations align with others, I just look at the fruit of it. If whatever someone says or believes about it brings well being in their conscious experience, then who am I to say it's 'wrong' or 'bad'. The words or concepts aren't the fruit, what it produces in their inner life and how it expresses is the fruit.

It's the aliens at area 51, he needs to be close for when the mother ship gives the signal.

That is not the crucial part of the comment

I cannot imagine anyone would spend this much time, energy and words arguing with the appearance of others about solipsism, yet here it is. It's like imagining that you are playing ping pong with yourself and still losing the game.

I appreciate that, thank you, much love to you as well.

I didn't say 'give or take' joy, that's your imaginary machinations which reveals your own mindset. I said joy presence. Wow...haha I live with well being, the manifest expressions of it are peace, joy, contentment and fulfillment, for decades. Your advaita word salad and dualistic paradigm dressing doesn't change the liberation I have realized. Be at peace.

Yep...no joy anymore with you I suppose. I'll keep laughing though, my joy won't be disturbed.

No, I've never said anything like this to you before. It was just a joke I was making and we've shared laughs before but then you reply with 'no one' this and that. I said I hope you don't fall into it, not that you already have fallen in. Kinda weird.

@Princess Arabia Um...ok. It was just some humor Your joy was a refreshing presence on the forum when you first arrived but I hope you don't fall in the trap.

I also think being a platypus would feel really weird... be like wtf am I...a beaver or a duck?

Why does it seem like there is always the appearance of others arguing about solipsism? Don't make me pull this illusion over and give you all something to cry about!

To pee or not to pee, that is not the question.
