What happens when you love something? Your experience of it sharpens. Love is reality.

Let me clarify: I'm using a constructivistic definition of context (used in systemic communication theory). Context is your interpretative framework. It's something you create and bring to the conversation. It doesn't exist out there in the world as an objective "background" behind which events happen. Different situations ("context markers") can trigger different contexts, but those are also dependent on context (how you interpret them). So when I say "language-mediated context", I mean the way in which you communicate your interpretative frameworks using language. When you ask "show me the context of existence as a whole" while implying that it's impossible, you're referring to the fact that reality itself is pre-interpretative. In other words, reality as a whole does not need to be interpreted for reality to exist, because interpretation implies a relationship between subject (the interpreter) and object (the interpreted object), and since reality is Absolute Wholeness, it's self-sustained and self-created: it creates its own context, its own interpretation. On the flipside, our context (as limited beings) is created as the result of a relationship between things, and that is why speech is not truth (because speech is relative/relational and truth is absolute). If I'm making zero sense it might be because it's very late and that I sort of gambled on the choice of terminology regarding context (sorry)

Well, now you're actually pointing towards something absolute (The Absolute), which indeed can only be pointed towards using language-mediated context, but which nevertheless represents the concept of wholeness: melting all relationships, perspectives, subjects, objects, frameworks, contexts into One. Still, we're only speaking about it, and speech isn't it. Even so, wholeness is inherent in relationship. The relation between two parts makes up a whole (Yin-yang).

Like Mooji would say: "Show me the one who makes the effort"

There is no algorithm, but effort and sudden enlightenment are also not contradictory.

?

This is not a troll post by the way lol. I'm genuinely fascinated by how extremely streamlined survival is and how little it has to do with acquiring accurate information about the world

Genius

That is your context, your interpretative framework, not mine. All I'm doing is that I'm providing a context using language. <- This is also a context I'm providing using language. Now, if you ask "do you know that?", I will answer "All I'm doing is that I'm providing a context using language". It's more like saying "I'm speaking" than saying "I know". One is an action, a relative manifestation, another is a statement about an absolute. I make no such statement. All talk is relational. Relationships; the dance between perspectives; between subjects, objects, frameworks, contexts. -->this is not absolute<-- Oh trust me, I've been there. The only way out is compromise: speak because you're spoken to, not because you understand. Is the use of mind and concepts evidence of the attachment to said things?

Everything exists relative to an interpretive framework; a context. The context is never removed, only changed

I prefer "recontextualized".

Norway was very close to decriminalizing drugs earlier this year, but somehow the biggest left-leaning party decided to go against it. https://www.thelocal.no/20210417/norway-opposition-torpedoes-plan-to-decriminalise-drug-use/

That is a rough description of one aspect of it (the empirical aspect). Positivism is generally the idea that we can explain the world by formulating consistent natural laws, and that the only valid methods to do so are analytical reasoning and empirical observation. Post-positivistic thought emphasizes things like the limits and inconsistencies of such laws (which became rather apparent in QM btw), the relationship between the subject and the object in determining reasoning and observation (also QM related), the relation between the part and the whole (component-system), and the utility of other methods like introspection and transrational cognition. Posivitivism is analytic, linear, reductionistic, and virtually always mechanistic and atomistic, focused on parts/components/essence. Post-positivist thought is systemic, constructivistic, relational, non-linear, focused on complexity and holism.

That is the point

Letting go of life.

I find this particularly evident when trying to figure out where thoughts come from, or what even a thought is, and also how insufficient strings of thoughts really are for understanding anything.

Less people wearing masks

Seems like having an active kundalini is very helpful (if not required). Ninel complained about spinal pains during the experiments.

Careful what you wish for.

@mandyjw ?

And how would you even begin to explain what something like Twitch is? ?

Then the next step is that feel-good philosophies and spiritualities are shallow, inauthentic and lead to denial, repression and finally breakdown. You're never safe from the truth.

and mainstream ideas like reincarnation, the afterlife, nihilistic atheism, simulation theory etc.
