  1. Everytime you have to mention the brain, you're in la-la land.
  2. You aren't. This is most likely getting locked for being low quality.
  3. This perfectly illustrates my point. When race is mentioned in western society, it most often is in the context of people of colour. White people are "just people". This is whiteness in a nutshell. Wow, look at that! Only one black person... ("black").
  4. Just because your search includes a word doesn't mean that word will be represented in an image in any particular way. You'll often get links to news articles, youtube videos, and social medias that mention that word, and the pictures are often heavily context dependent. In the case with "happy white woman", the race of a white person is often only mentioned in the context of another race also being mentioned (in this case, black), and therefore you should expect more images that include other races in that particular search. For example, many of those pictures are about a white woman being happily married with a black man. Try looking up just "white woman" and see how extremely loaded the contexts are. The different results are a reflection of how the search engines work differently. It's not necessarily a reflection of the intent of the engine creators.
  5. Show me a question that wasn't asked by a human.
  6. Did the people you listed say explicitly "I'm 100% certain that this true!" or is that just a general wibe you're getting? How do you go about distinguishing that wibe from just being invested, involved, or simply taking it seriously? Does every action require 100% certainty?
  7. You meditate and then you go about your day. That is about as conscious you'll get. If something entertains you, that's high consciousness entertainment. Don't turn consciousness work into a crippling obsession.
  8. You're confusing seriousness with certainty.
  9. I'm more onboard with that. Though, one should be vary of letting this kind of insight paralyze you to the point where you don't know what to do. You can never ever perform a fully informed action.
  10. @Mikael89 You're confusing limited experiences for Experience itself; the relative and the absolute.
  11. That is like asking "why do people dance?". Because they want to. It's because God wants to. The idea that every question must have an answer is an anthropocentric notion. Adopt a cosmocentric perspective. Why do people dance to music? You need a beat, a rhythm, a structure, a progression. If it's infinite in all dimensions, it must be happening right now. Absolute Infinity contains EVERYTHING! Confusion, delusion, illusion is all true. Where else could it be if not inside infinity?
  12. Knowing is experience. You said you didn't trust your experience, and I asked "how do you know that?", and you replied with "I don't know". I replied "Good", because you showed consistency in your answers. Whether or not you claim to trust in your own experience, "trust" is still a duality. Whichever part of that duality you choose to go with, you still have to know that. Experience still stands.
  13. How do you know that you're not trusting in experience?
  14. By doing that though, aren't you trusting in the experience of you not trusting in experience?
  15. Suffering is the currency of survival. Because survival necessitates evolution. Suffering drives evolution, evolution drives survival. If the universe is boundless and infinite, it must also contain you as a possible configuration of itself, or else it couldn't be absolutely infinite. If it didn't contain the limited little you who is suffering and asking anthropocentric questions, then it would be limited and not infinite. Delusion is just when you take an illusion for its appearance rather than its substance. An illusion is simply something that appears as something it isn't. The illusion still exists, therefore the illusion is true, just as much as the thing it appears to be is true.
  16. Alcohol is actually the only drug that causes aggressive behaviour (according to Jordan Peterson who has done studies on it). Of course It depends on the person and the situation. One time when I became blackout drunk, a friend of mine told me that I just went around telling people how much I loved them
  17. It's not a pratice. It's just you going about your day without unnecessarily fueling your attachment to spirituality, without creating neurotic patterns around spiritual pratice itself. Your spiritual practice obviously shouldn't be a source of neurotic behaviour/thoughts. It's directly antithetical to what you're trying to achieve. You don't want to spend the rest of your life doing a 24/7 spiritual practice. That is what you're setting yourself up for. Do your spiritual practice, then drop it and go about your day.
