  1. You're not a figment of his imagination; he is a figment of yours. There’s a big difference.
  2. I was moved. It’s a bit annoying how they keep playing that entire voice message over and over. By the way, that’s Patrick Fabian’s voice, who plays Howard Hamlin in Better Call Saul.
  3. You get what you are, but how did you become what you are? It wasn't entirely your doing, so that's where compassion comes in for yourself and others.
  4. Thank you. I take full responsibility for this choice.
  5. I do, actually. It makes life easier, doesn’t it? Pure, beautiful surrender—a sense of relief—just watching the show unfold. So why the need to be in charge of everything? It feels like Sadhguru isn’t being completely honest, even though there’s value in what he says. It just doesn’t seem like the whole truth. You can’t appeal to a wide audience with complete honesty, and it seems his main goal is to reach as many people as possible.
  6. The Stimulation Clicker is crazy!
  7. If we could truly control our emotions, wouldn't we always choose to be happy? In reality, though, that's not possible, and karma is the reason why.
  8. "The world is yourself pushed out." - Neville Goddard In a way, this is true, but you don't control your state.
  9. What I’ve been listening to while contemplating.

  11. Just watched Nuremberg—what an incredible movie. Bugonia was really entertaining as well, and Jesse Plemons is such a great actor.
  12. The soul is also capable of great things. It's not always the ego. Just look at Sadhguru, for instance.
  13. Yes, you can practice if you are determined, but how far you will go or if you will succeed is not in your control. This is the essence of determinism. Hence, determinism.
  14. Sure, but when and how does a person reach higher states of consciousness? It ultimately just comes down to luck. What happened to Ramana, for example, was quite fortunate. It seems he didn’t have much karma. I think a person's level of consciousness is determined by luck. Luck swallows everything.
  15. What determines a person’s level of consciousness? The truth is, nothing is really under your control—not even whether you’re in a low or high state of consciousness. As you said, everything is governed by karma, and higher consciousness doesn’t change that. There’s really nothing to solve. Karma is simply conditioning—like your heart being conditioned to beat—and that’s not something that needs solving.
  16. This video gives me a sense of God’s boundless intelligence.
  17. I will make this my signature as soon as I can.
  18. This is an interesting channel about the illusion of free will. More resources to help you understand determinism: "Behave" and "Determined" by Robert Sapolsky "Devs" by Alex Garland (TV Show) "Free Will" by Sam Harris
  19. I’m surprised as well. I honestly thought this would be right up my alley, but it just lacked enough conflict and progressive complications for my taste.
  20. Inshallah, I'll be there! God bless America!
  21. I had high hopes for this movie, but it turned out to be surprisingly boring. It's not another Parasite. Watching Leo's new video at normal speed was easier than sitting through this film. Bugonia is next on my list; I hope it's better.
  22. Thank you! I actually found it on Sflix. I'll start watching it now.
  23. I'm very interested in this movie. Where did you see it? It is not available for streaming anywhere.
  24. I'm watching at a normal speed for a change. I'm just relaxing and enjoying it.
