Why fear what you can't control? Btw, there is a tendency to conflate positive aspects like high charisma and confidence with negative aspects like narcisissm.

Because that is what politics is about, what society is for.

You're the epitome of conflating the relative with the absolute.

Have you ever faced the death of your own prime identification mechanism? It ain't no joke. "Being" and "accepting" only exacerbates it. To truly stop it from happening, you must fight it hard. However, it's ultimately a fool's errand, because you're essentially fighting yourself. You're denying what "is". Accepting is of course also the better solution, but sometimes it can feel like it's not the right time.

Look man, in order to communicate properly, you have to engage in relative concepts. Everyone here is conceding to that point by using words (whether consciously or unconsciously is beside the point). By consistently invoking non-dual doublespeak, you're only making it harder for yourself and other people to understand you. What you're doing here is syntactical self-immolation, non-dual wankery, and ironically egoic autofellatio (I just did it aswell).

Well, you said this: You're saying Sam Harris doesn't exist. How can brains exist when Sam Harris doesn't exist?:

@K Ghoul RIP Chuck <3 Have anybody ever tried whistling to microtonal songs? Here is your challenge:

@Mason Riggle If non-duality was a worm, it ate your brain. That is the real reason why you keep saying it doesn't exist

It might seem unpleasant right now, but you'll get used to it over time. Atleast now you know what it's all about. Maybe if you don't like it, take some time off to figure out why you're reacting this way and how you can fix it.

Like I said, you can pretend like you're a mind inside a body and after a while the fear might seem to disappear. However, it never "really" disappears. It really just moves to the background as you momentarily get caught up in limited identification.

You're experiencing the absoluteness of consciousness. From that perspective, I'm not real. However, "persons" still exist in a relative sense. You are a person, I am a person, but ultimately we are one.

This is enlightenment. Ta-da. You have two possible outcomes: either you learn to live with these changes and keep on meditating as an enlightened person, or you stop meditating and pretend like you're not an enlightened person. I experienced what you're experiencing and I ended up doing the latter, but it's really painful and I don't recommend it.

He has always been saying that. That riff about materialism having no proof is a consistent part of his repertoire. Sam seems to concede that their disagreement is merely a semantic difference, but he still wants to use this convoluted materialist language and doesn't see the primacy of consciousness in establishing so-called 3rd person, intersubjective, empirical, scientific truths. He somehow wants to separate all that from consciousness, but it's impossible.

Anesthesia removes the "contents" of consciousness: sensations, perceptions, time, space, objects, concepts etc.. Those are all "changing" aspects of reality. Consciousness is unchanging. It cannot be moved/removed/changed. Again, normie tiny brain vs. big brain definition.

He is using the normie small brain definition of consciousness while Rupert is using the big brain chad definition of consciousness. This becomes very clear when they start talking about anesthesia.

You have to let go of your fear of insanity, unreality, death, non-existence.

Sam "but muh science" Harris.

OMFG WHAT

I'm Norwegian and I know about a Danish non-duality teacher . His name is Jan Esmann. He does shaktipat transmissions and stuff. He radiates Shakti when he speaks He also paints hyperrealistic oil paintings:

Meditate everyday and systematically eliminate your attachment-based thoughts. When you recognize a repetitive thought pattern, see if you can manually "let it go" (imagine yourself living without that thing and being OK with it). In order to let go effectively, you have to get in touch with your emotions. Sometimes that requires some additional techniques. I recommend manually releasing emotional tensions from your body. Scan your body for tensions (especially gut area) and see if you can relax it and surrender to any emotions that may arise.
