Does anyone know what they are talking about?

Do you honestly believe James and I don’t already know that?

 

That aside, don’t forget this is a forum for discussing meta-cognition as well as ordinary person to person contact and relationship.

 

No one is denying reality here.

Why is it James and I with you?

@Ishanga Just out of curiosity. You have assumed James and I are in denial of reality.

Do you happen to know of any other people posting on this forum who are also in denial of reality?

Or, is it just James and myself?  
 

Do you think that’s a very weird and strange claim to make, or are you 💯 % absolutely certain beyond all reasonable doubt and error it’s a correct and accurate claim? Or, can you be wrong, are you willing to be wrong? 
 

We post for the joy of sharing, no one is being forced to believe anything that’s written. Take what’s of value and reject what isn’t. There’s no need to overthink anything. Take or leave, is my motto, anyway. It’s not difficult to separate the wheat from the chaff, is it? 
 

Isn’t that why people are drawn to this particular forum in the first place, no?

My opinion of this place is not really a good one.. 

Now I respect Leo allot, I don't agree with him on everything, but he seems to be a realist is most cases, most of what he says I agree with, other than solipsism and that I am a figment of his imagination and that nothing really exists except God.. Its way more nuanced than that, everything is in levels, from gross to subtlety okay...Human Beings are the only life on the planet that can navigate this gross to subtle path, we can live experientially like pigs or Enlightened Beings, that is what is available to Us

Most here are either non experienced spiritual seekers, or psychedelic users seeking answers to question or trying to integrate grand experiences or ppl with mental health problems, the  point is most here don't really know what they are talking about, they know little pieces of this or that on intellectual levels only.. There are some that seem to know on levels higher up the scale, you can tell by how they post and such imo...

James123 it seems he has good intentions, had some sort of experience but doesn't know what it is or how it happened but is sharing like he does, that's a problem in my book...

No idea where you are going with that question.

Would you say Leo is in denial of reality? You said James and myself was in denial of reality. What about Leo, would you include Leo on this claim of being in denial of reality too, or is Leo not in denial of reality, in your opinion?

Well If someone really thinks they are the only living being in existence and everything/one else is a figment of their imagination, that they are literally GOD/Absolute then that is a serious distortion/denial of reality, he has claimed that is how he understand reality, not sure if that has changed for him but if it hasn't then yes he is in denial of reality in my opinion, but he has some good points that he posts regularly lol..

What gets me about these solipsist types is then why do anything, why share videos, ask for opinions, do anything social, If I was a true solipsist I would not do anything with society and interaction of any kind, I would find out how to mahasamadhi right away and do it...

I majored in philosophy in college and it surprises me the hatred of philosophy in some spiritual people.  It's like someone hates what you love, it's really hard to fathom.  I guess every person has their pet-peeve.  What you love dearly, someone else may hate and even deem evil.  I just can't imagine living a life without my experience with philosophy.  I feel like the mind and body do not have a strict duality and both need to be watered so to speak.

I like this mate. I’m actually planning on double majoring in either Religion and Philosophy or Chemistry and Philosophy some time soonish (will probably start in 2027). 
 

The reason for Chemistry is because I wanna synthesise my own novel psychedelics hahah.

I would imagine most people are consenting adults that choose to enter this forum, and do so at their own risk. Moreover, taking full responsibility for how they choose to react to the topics being discussed here.

The internet is a wild place. It’s not for the faint of heart, not really. Because you don’t know for absolute certain who you are talking to, let’s be honest about that. Like you said earlier, it’s generally better to know people via person to person in actual real time physicality, only then do you really know what’s real, and what’s fake. I agree with that point for sure.

This sounds scary to me.  Why the fear?

Okay I see your point.

IDK, that’s why I ask do we ever know what we are really talking about. It can sometimes get all too mind fuckery, even for the self anointed ascended masters, even they must wonder if they could possibly be wrong about what they can only imagine is true.

 

Do they even believe in half of what they are saying to themselves? It’s like welcome to the crazy asylum called planet earth.

Don’t be scared, don’t fear. Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death…and all that razzamataz.

Do you fear dissociative disorder personality? 
 

Do you understand that death and life are the same reality?

Nice attempt at a turnaround, but not even too!  And I wish you well too, of course.

So some of us think we have no fear left, ay? 

Ha! 

And we are entrenched firmly in this reality! HA!

You need to ask Joseph why he thinks the internet is a scary fearful place? 

I was talking about the internet being an anonymous place where no one is really sure who you are interacting with, I wasn’t talking about being eaten alive by a huge gigantic grisly bear.

Woah you are really triggered.  Like seriously.

[Natasha Tori Maru]

@Mellowmarsh did he say he was fearing, or did he say he was perceiving fear from you?

Okay, but are you willing to be wrong, or are you absolutely 💯 % certain you know what you’re talking about.

[Mellowmarsh]

I never mentioned it was a scary fearful place. So if he’s perceiving that as true information then he’s deceived.

[Mellowmarsh]

@Joseph Maynor BTW, are you open to answering serious questions, or are you closed off from such human frivolities ?

I think that was what your words invoked as a feeling reaction from reading.

That was the impression I had, reading over them. That behind your words, was fear from you.

Perhaps the wrong sentiment was transmitted? Just what was picked up
