Truth Addict

What would that lead me to?

@SOUL Well, you asked Leo: "why call anyone a devil?". And I thought you don't like it. We use language mostly for survival purposes. So, practicality is the reason why Leo uses the word devil. It advances his agenda, which is creating a better world, probably. Now, he might succeed or might not. But I'm assuming he's assuming that that's the best he could do, and so he's doing it.

@SOUL Devil is a relative term. It doesn't necessarily mean judgement or morality. Anything that opposes my devil, I call devil. So, in Actualized.org context, anything that opposes Leo's worldviews is a devil. In your context, calling people 'devils' opposes your worldview. It's all relative to you. The question is, credits to Leo's understanding relativism video: from what frame of reference is calling people devils necessary/unnecessary?

@SOUL Why not call someone a 'devil'?

By magic! Light pixels on a screen/coloured dots on a paper/unexplainable magic! If you're looking for a pragmatic answer, then google your question.

Some insights after contemplating the devil: The devil is a reality-illusion simulator. The purpose of the devil is connection and unity, not survival. The purpose of God is to divide itself, and then reconnect through the devil. Fulfilling a purpose means death. When the devil dies, God remains one. God cannot die, therefore cannot fulfill its purpose ever (infinity).

@PenguinPablo Like @SOUL said. Because what is the ultimate goal of all of an individual human behaviour? Why does a human being do anything at all?

Loss of function. Pain. Suffering. Basically, anything that threatens the survival of the individual is unhealthy to that individual. Of course, relatively speaking.

Poison is natural too. Yes, everything is natural, but there's healthy and unhealthy.

You're not doing anything wrong. You just think you do. Drop that thought and accept who you are. If you feel that you need content, don't try to convince yourself otherwise. That's a waste of time.

@kev014 It does not matter. Truth cannot be known. No teaching is the truth, including this communication. All teachings are just pointers. Yes. Follow your heart.

@rnd I agree on #5

Isolation is calling, and obey it I must. It's going to be a long one this time.

@electroBeam If suicide was encouraged, you wouldn't be here asking this question. So, maybe you are the reason why it is discouraged. Maybe the only reason why it is discouraged is to make you get to this point and ask this question, and then read my answer and realise that you are the goal of life.

@TheAvatarState What's wrong with the default metaphysical program of one's culture? (serious question).

@TheAvatarState Remember that both worldviews eventually come back to 'you' . Whatever you believe, becomes the truth.

@The Don Why you couldn't let go? Because it's not easy to let go. One try is not enough. You need more chances. There may be some misunderstanding within your concepts, maybe not. I don't know. But make sure you got the theory right before you proceed. Will you be able to preserve your personality? I can't tell. It depends on what you mean by personality. If you mean your authentic self, then that's the ultimate place that your personality will arrive at. If you mean some egoic version of you, then no, it must get destroyed for you to move forward.

This usually happens to me when I exhaust myself for a long period of time (physically or mentally). Everything goes back to normal after some good rest/sleep.

??? You get it! Congarts!

@EvilAngel Food and sex are cool. They're in the first stage in Maslow's hierarchy. I would be careful with alcohol consumption though. Look after your health because it's unexpendable. And alcohol is unnecessary for happiness.

@Rasheed Books usually do the thinking for you, especially the long ones. I now prefer videos because they give me clues and leave the contemplation for me. (Leo's videos started bugging me for doing the contemplation part). Before I learned how to contemplate, books were better. So, the keyword here is contemplation.

@Gili Trawangan Deep sleep is just lack of form. The absolute is not exclusively formless. It is formed as well.

You see that car on the road over there? Completely still. Imagine the following scenario: You are sitting on the platform and thinking thoughts about that car, and then out of nowhere, a thought pops up: "move forwards", and the car moves forwards. Another thought pops up: "move backwards", and the car moves backwards. Another thought pops up: "blow horns", and the car blows its horns. etc.... Imagine that being the case for so many times, like a million times, until you get addicted and forget that your thoughts have no effect on the car, then actually start to believe that you control the car with your thoughts. You will create stories for how you control the car, and make scientific research on the visual field and its relationship with thought, blah blah blah. Imagine that, out of the same nowhere, the car stopped going in accordance with your thoughts. You think: "move forwards", and the car moves backwards, burns up, or does not move at all. You will be disappointed and shocked at why it doesn't obey your thoughts anymore (a little hit to your ego). Now imagine that your own body, arms and legs and everything, stopped going in accordance with your thoughts. You would go crazy and literally die, because thoughts won't seem to be in control anymore (so who is in control?). You will realise that the little control you thought you had was all illusory, that you don't own free will, and that it had you all along. Now, does that mean that everything is random and out of order? No, of course not. It's all planned. The little illusion of control is planned in order to keep you alive (as an ego). Because if you (God) go against yourself (thought/ego), you will die as an ego, and remain as God. So, how do things happen? How is reality alive? By God's will, of course. God does not need to think. God is before thought. You see? You started out life in accordance to God's will, you were pure bliss, you didn't even know you existed. And later on, you started clinging to things being some certain way and not some other way, thus ego was born, and so here you are. Welcome back!

So everything we say here is pointless?
