I travel a lot. Spent 2 years in Sri Lanka already. It would be cool to visit Inda soon as well. Just saying.

@James123 Thinks his immortal already. Infinite death for him, obviously.

Christ guys don't shit in the paddle pool. 

Behave with some integrity. So disappointed with the interactions here (not everyone). 

If you have a lot of charged emotions just empty that shit into the journal section. Learn stoic boundaries instead of having to crush opponents. It speaks to YOU having been crushed in the past and not knowing how to handle it with stoicism, thinking retaliation solves it. And that means standing your ground without the need to smash the opponent. 

' No. ' will end someone more effectively than giving them juice to fight back with nasty words.

I hate having to hand out corporal (so to speak) punishment but it will happen if this continues.


Deal with the issue now, on your terms, in your control. Or the issue will deal with you, in ways you won't appreciate, and cannot control.

@theoneandnone Alone in your head. Connected to everyone and everything in the world (real life/actuality)

You could raise the dead
With those terribly troublesome eyes
Maybe you'll always be bad
Maybe you'll always be the same

Are you alone, locked inside
That prison in your head?
You walk through the crowd
Lost in the sound
Invisible to every passing eye

So if there's no you, then why is there a body, who knows there is a body that exists?

Does a body know it's a body, does a body know it exists as a body? 

Same way a tree operates. All by itself. A body doesn't know it's a body. It doesn't even know it's alive. It's just operating all on itls own just like everything else. Nothing needs to know anything to operate as it does. Does electricity knows it's electricity to operate an electric fan or does a car needs to know it's a car to run. The body is the same way.


What you know leaves what you don't know and what you don't know is all there is.

That's where you error. You do not need to explain how anything. Everything is functioning perfectly on it's own.

The heart never asks how it's beating.

Exactly, so why do you ask if there is no you who's doing the body.

Your theory is flawed.

 

The hand cannot type words on a computer screen without some conscious participation. You are this conscious participation.

No. Ever see a computer/machine that types itself. Lots of things are operating without any conscious being behind it. Matter of fact there are no conscious beings, but that's not up for debate because it will get nowhere. I'll just leave that at that.

So I’m not conscious ?

You can’t know consciousness because you are it.

Same reason why you’re asking me why I’m asking.

This is known as it’s conceptually written and simultaneously read.

Absolutely false! Do not sell yourself short.

You can understand AND it’ll still be like “wtf is this omg?!”

You can know consciousness as a concept. Concepts know nothing. That’s one understanding.

Another understanding. To know Consciousness, one would have to split into two things, into knower and known. 
 

Choose your own understanding, I’m simply providing mine.

No such thing as unnecessary.

The eternal fire cannot be put out. Not all will burn. But some simply cannot escape the flames. They must learn the hard way.
