Truth Addict

@Alex bAlex I worked in sales for over one year, and I hated it. It felt like being a beggar, only a more professional, well suited one. You say things that you don't want to say, you have to keep your clients pleased all the time. It felt like hypocrisy to me, and I don't like being a hypocrite. On the other hand, my brother is now working in my former position, he likes it, because of the money and reputation. I don't know what you should do, but I hope that gave you some insight. ❤️

I'm not interested in watching the video. I'll just say this and move on: There's no point in debating about God, unless you have an ideology to spread. Doesn't matter what the ideology may be.

@flowboy Your advice is so irresponsible. It will cause Sidra a lot of unnecessary suffering. If you're serious about helping her out, don't just spit egoic advice on situations that you have no damn clue about. Instead, send her the money that is required for her to live abroad, that can help her out. Sidra is only 17 years old, she has almost no experience with life, and you want to throw her in a jungle. "Climb over, we're waiting". This is the most irresponsible advice I've ever heard in my life! @Pernani Same goes for you, in a slightly less harsh way.

@Nahm It's a belief, but there's no difference between belief and reality. I can also believe that everything is not perfect and it will become reality. ?

@Nahm ❤️ Veils from experience. Although, sometimes belief can make one so present that they stop thinking. Example: everything is perfect and going as planned. If I believe that statement, it can stop the thoughts temporarily. If I believe it strongly enough, it can even stop the thoughts almost entirely. Being present makes everything else bs, should the questions go away. ?

I know. But why do we say that direct experience is prior to belief then? Is this work designed for skeptics?

The interesting question is who controls the illuminati? Are they free? Oops.

@Nahm It sounded like you were talking about the parents, not the original poster. I was probably mistaken. My bad. The part about memory and direct experience: I was asking: Can we trust our memories of direct experiences? Because memories are fantasies. In the present moment, there's no difference between belief and a memory of direct experience.

200% true ?? ❤️

To answer this question, we have to firstly answer the question: "what is what?". What is a question? A question is something that is looking for an identity, a desire to connect things together and put them into what we call "an answer". Of course the one who asks is the one who picks identities for parts of reality. So, let's reframe the question: What is ignorance in terms of identity? Ignorance is the loss of identity (disidentification) or the mistake in picking the right identity (misidentification). The right identity is the thing itself, a sight is just a sight, a sound is just a sound, a thought is just a thought, etc...

@Liger and @Rigel Interesting to see your names look alike, sorry for this stupid observation @Nahm Isn't bliss and feeling good what everyone wants after all? Why deny them their right to feel good? They've found happiness through belief, tell me, what is direct experience but a belief? Why do you take memory for granted? Questioning is not for everyone, some people are skeptical, and others are believers.

@Nivsch https://sdtest.ru/en/ I'm not sure if it's reliable, but why not give it a try?

There's this kind of past and future, which is imaginary. And there's the other kind, which is actual. I was talking about the actual one, the one that is experienced, including thought experiences. That kind is identical to the present moment. There cannot be present moment without past and future. And although I'm speaking with such confidence, I don't really know if I'm right. It just seems right.

@Shin It's not a conspiracy, it's how it has to be. Your body has memories, and those memories project themselves into the future with/without interruption of the ego-mind. A lot of things are the same way; DNA, cells, chemical receptors, plants, animals, nature as a whole, I don't know about the cosmos but I assume the same thing as well. That's how God runs the show, and that's the purpose of the devil. Past and future exist, they're not separate from the present moment. Also don't forget that you can be thinking about the present moment. "conceptual self"....... "if you were constantly present"....... (self vs. Self) duality. You're looking at the part, while forgetting the whole.

@moon777light This is a very deep question, probably one of the deepest there is. It's not a mistake, it is this way by design. Existence cannot exist without illusion. The past is information processed into lessons, the future is data processed into expectations. All of that is happening for a reason and through infinite intelligence, to sustain the present and keep it going forever. ☯️

@Shaun I understand your fears and concerns, but that's not the case. Conscious people are not irresponsible, they care without suffering. Everything is perfect, and yet it can always get better. There's no end to perfection. ❤️

Because it's healthier for everyone, including yourself. If your health does not matter to you, then, yeah, why even bother?

@Codrina Fasting is meant to fix discipline issues if you have some. I don't know, you know. From what you wrote about your lifestyle, it appears that it requires a lot of sugar, so why beating yourself up for that? Sugar isn't bad, sugar is energy. You clearly don't have weight issues, nor energy issues, I don't see where you are going wrong. Your body knows what it needs, trust it.

@Codrina Maybe join the Muslim fasting during Ramadan. It's a challenge, with yourself, against yourself, and for yourself.

@Jkris I'm not self realised either. I was speaking from ego's perspective on reality, a surrendered ego though. There is definitely a lot more for me to learn. ❤️

@Jkris Love is an absolute quality of reality. Reality has no agenda, and therefore it's absolutely selfless for you, that's love and only you can see it. Only you can be aware of Love, not humans, not insects, not anything else.

Meh.

@DrewNows I'm not familiar with Faceless and his contributions. Those honestly were my observations. I'll take a look at Faceless's profile. ?

@Serotoninluv Yeah, that's also interesting. I get glimpses of similar experiences through concentration practices. I become disidentified with pretty much everything for a brief period of time, everything appears strange, the sounds, the sights, the sensations, and being stops being taken for granted, how is existence possible? I have to go deeper with the practices. Any suggestions? ❤️ @Lister I don't know what that is. To me it's all about removing the illusion that is fake knowledge. Stay safe my friend, do whatever feels right ❤️
