Omg. I regret using the words I did earlier when speaking about pathology.

Vinson 😂

I just want women to thank me, I'm emotional that way. Sorry, I won't troll anymore.

If I didn't do active mindfulness for a week before my first sober awakening, I wouldn't have awakened after 5 minutes of sitting meditation. But if you're not able to sit, that's indicative of something.

No 😂 I just vocalize my thoughts and then I'm done.

Loud and clear but I don't have much to add to it.

I think it's a true observation.

There are awakened masters who act like pervert assholes. And then there are saints, like Jesus. One's awakening does not have to percolate very deep down into one's being, into one's karma, for it to be a legitimate awakening, but when it does percolate down, it becomes quite beautiful.

Schizophonia: *makes true observation* Natasha Tori Maru: "Thank you for making this true observation." OBEler: "I would never!"

I guess Buddha wasn't very enlightened either then...

My brotha, Jesus created a world religion. Not to shit on Ramana, but some of the awakened beings of history are unmatched in their level of realization and embodiment.

If this quote is not identical to the one above, I will welcome you to the crypto-materialist label as well:

Ultimate skepticism is "meh we can't know anything so what is the difference?". Pragmatism is when you take the step out of Peter Pan land and into the harsh reality and ask "what is the best bet?".

You gotta distinguish awakened masters from saints. If Sadhguru is the genetic equivalent of Ronnie Coleman, Jesus is the genetic equivalent of the top 10 of all the Ronnie Colemans that existed for the last 30 000 years.

Yeah.

I think a few years of university and then following up on that will do a lot for your sense of disconnection. Do you know what you will do after university?

But I'm not skeptical. Ultimate skepticism is just intellectual laziness.

I think calling on names has an effect, because your mind is not isolated from the other minds that have called on the same name. The contrary is a materialistic notion. If you believe consciousness is fundamental but minds cannot influence each other non-locally, you are a crypto-materialist.

Most of? How do you make the distinction?

Neither are impossible, but I recon one is much more likely than the other. Do you believe in psychic phenomena or are you a crypto-materialist?

This is the only forum where people will seriously entertain somebody claiming they can change into an alien on camera but are immensely skeptical of the effects of invoking the name of one of the most accomplished saints in history.

"There is no absolute sensemaking framework" ≠ "reality doesn't follow a structure or logic".

Did you try to vocalize the name of Jesus and see what effects it had?
