  1. Your life purpose shouldn't have a heavy pressure to it. It should be what you want to do. You can set an intention without letting it weigh on you like a weight. If you don't do it, it won't matter, because it's just a refinement anyway.
  2. @James123 But you seem to resist thinking of Truth/Being as Consciousness, no?
  3. I've seen you use the word You sometimes though. I guess You mean simply Being as/for Truth? What is Truth for You?
  4. But there is a You that goes beyond mind, right? What is That/This which can be named and also does in fact Exist, if anything?
  5. I feel better than ever. I look forward to going thru my notes and making some to do lists about life purpose and some self-help/personal development improvements. I was able to connect a lot during this holiday period, so I feel great.
  6. Is Consciousness or Awareness temporary?
  7. @James123 You seem to take the position that the body exists, what about the mind and/or Consciousness, do these exist?
  8. This is true to a certain extent. Collaboration with AI is key. But you have to watch it for bias, and when over-reliance can cause (often does cause) you to over-trust. It's a tool.
  9. I've used AI occasionally, but it can't replace your judgment. It's like any other tool, you have to use it with caution and don't over-rely on it to solve every problem.
  10. @James123 Do you consider the body and the mind to be just a thought or belief?
  11. What is your life purpose?
  12. I see, so the "self" died, but why does this paradoxically make you free to do anything?
  13. What cured the suffering you were experiencing before?
  14. Do you feel like you spend a lot of time suffering today?
  15. 'The Catcher In The Rye' by J.D. Salinger
  16. You can see how Robert Greene evolved over the years. He hasn't always been the same, he's growing like all of us over time.
  17. Do you think or feel there is no separate self?
