Survival and evolution

[Human Mint]

Survival is an unconscious mechanism, but how? When you smell a putrid meat, you quickly recoil. That is survival, and we know how evolution does that or allows that, but does it actually explain the rejection of putrid meat? You could say evolution is the programming of biases. But then there is the divine state of consciousness, which understands that the putrid smell is beautiful, despite how the putrid smell made you feel at first glance.

And that is exactly how this evolved organism manages survival, extrapolate that example to other things. Like the way you could metaphorically smell a putrid "belief system", it is the same mechanism of survival by how you avoid dying from an infection.

It dosent necessarily reject the putrid meat its the ones that did survived. The ones that ate it could have survived but they didnt. Its possible to have a human species that evolved to eat rotten meat. Its kind of like a long dream of the ones that survived. When you smell it you are remembering your ancestors dream which is your dream cause you are part of it.

According to yogi we are eating rotten meat from the store but we have evolved to not smell it. They say you have a couple hours after you kill it to eat before it starts rotting. If they smell our meat we buy they would say its gone rancid.

I think evolution is the chaos mechanic of reality.

Disgust is one of the most basic instincts. Well, if you think you're smarter than nature, you can eat rotten meat.

Beautiful or disgusting are human biases, stemming from what favors or hinders survival and reproduction. From an absolute perspective, there is no good or bad, there is only being. Being is everything; it is not beautiful, it simply is. If you find that being is beautiful or wonderful or glorious or anything, it's from the human perspective. Being is open, limitless, not good, love or beauty. All that are human visions. The absolute is all that, from the human perspective. Any appreciation is from a limited perspective. From an unlimited perspective there are not adjectives because there is not comparison. Quite challenging, that's why all that about enlightenment is so twisted . The absolute is open, period.

Naturally, it is extremely difficult to separate ourselves from human bias because we are human, and our bias comes from the first living cells that pursued survival and fled from destruction.

Exactly! All Emotions and Experiences come and the expression of them via labels, words are from the "Human" system and vehicle. The Universe is not Love, or any emotion or anything other than the Universe, You could say it is a living consciousness in a way as is the Earth, but not like we are..

Believing that the Universe is Love and Beautiful and all these qualities Humans want, is akin to believing in the God of the Bible, and that he cares about You and Loves You while living in a hell hole in Gaza or some other place Suffering Your whole life, it makes no sense and is delusional really! Living in this sort of understanding and reality is disempowering.  You and all of Us are micro Universes, small Gods of sorts, in the way that we can create the Life we want, within Ourselves and somewhat outside of ourselves, our destiny is in our Hands no where else.. 

Absolute or God realm is Potential and Possibility only, since that is the case we are here as a certain Possibility being Expressed in this Relative/Subjective realm and has the qualities of Duality, Karma, Materialism but we can access our Free Will if we want to explore it, if we don't then most likely Suffering is Your Experience, and Suffering disempowers Human life to explore the Potentials available and Absolute itself..

Those kinds of ideas are very frustrating because they create a kind of effort to reconcile the comforting (and somewhat childish) notion that there is an external entity that loves you with being a homeless fentanyl addict. Indeed, it resembles St. Augustine's idea that God, who is love, created you knowing you would be condemned to eternal hell.

Yes I think that the nature of life is to move forward. If you don't swim with the current, life will crush you. Maybe someone doesnt care about that, but if there is choice much better flowing with the flow

You could imagine it as if life on Earth is a game being played by God, where humans act like chess pieces on a chessboard that are self-conscious and can make their own decisions.  If this is the case, then things like physics, mathematics, anatomy, biology, etc., are the rules of the game.

So, if you are going to play the game, those are the rules.  If you ingest viruses and bacteria, it can kill you and end your game.   So, you try to avoid it by not eating rotten meat, among other things.

As we progress through the game, we keep discovering previously hidden rules that apply to it (a new scientific discovery), and occasionally uncover hidden Easter Eggs that make it more fun.
