    Yep. This is the concept that allows for the moving of the goal posts in an infinite amount of ways. It's like picking the Get Out of Jail Free card in Monopoly just when you really need it. 

    @Bill W Well, then how would you put it differently to fit your personal standards and views better?

    I understand backsliding is normal when we are on this journey. But right now I feel like I am battling against habits and thought patterns I had YEARS AGO

    @herghly Yeah, that's totally normal. You're dealing with your karmic memory. Remember, everything tends to behave in a cyclical manner. I was also quite surprised when I noticed such patterns myself. But just don't resist them and they will pass on their own. You're (probably) doing fantastic! :D

    @Zorka Hah :D See, you gotta watch out what you call "real" and "not real". It is impossible to be conscious of anything that is "not real" i.e. "nonexistent", which is probably what you really mean by saying "not real". Everything is real, doesn't matter in which state of consciousness it is experienced because all there is is Consciousness. It's all part of the same... stuff. There aren't any actual, distinct, or "real" separations or borders between anything at all.

    @Zorka Well, look, you will find anything "valuable" in all of this if you really want to find it. But no one on this forum could somehow convince you of anything that you couldn't convince yourself of first. Do whatever you think is best for you right now, and you will see what comes as a result of that. Don't pressure yourself into something that you're still on the fence about.

    @MikeB First of all, you should have probably better posted this in the Spirituality subforum. Other than that, your body is not part of your ego but the thought/belief that you are the body or rather a body is. What you need to realize is that you are just as much "your" body as you are anything else too, all being just another finite manifestation of The Infinite/Consciousness. 

    I hope this helped, let me know if you need further clarification. Just remember that you can never arrive at any purely logical or rational conclusion when it comes to this. :)

    If you're a man, you need to watch this. What Vox Day has come up with here is truly incredible and will change the way you see yourself and all other men forever. Keep in mind that it's a heuristic - this is not "scientifically proven" or perfectly applicable to all men all of the time, so take what you need and what you find useful and build on top of that with your own research, experience, and findings.

    @Salvijus Btw, I just noticed... you actually explained karma slightly wrong. Karma does not literally mean "memory" or "data". This is not true. It actually means "action" or "doing", along other similar words. So, for example, when you say "that's my karma", that just means that it's your action or your doing and that you are ultimately responsible for whatever you say, do, think and so on. 

    And all this action (that can be split up in the 4 categories) leaves/builds up memory. That's where the conection between karma and memory comes from, but karma doen't have anything to do with memory inherently. 

    I thought this might be something worth pointing out.
