One is emotional and one is your sense of reality 

 

But the issue here is most people completely misunderstand emotions and feeling and intuition.

Id say all of these issues are 2nd order to the first order issue of misunderstanding conciousness. If you get conciousness right you get everything else right.

@JoshB do you think your thoughts/drive toward certainty are the compulsion, while the topic is the obsession?

@Leo Gura Do you think the possibility exists Ralston is heavily compartmentalizing his feeling / emotional capacity & expression purposely? 

It seems strange to not be aware of emotions and feelings. If they are ignored or repressed, we run the risk of them governing our thoughts (and bias) in ways that aren't transparent. Regardless of Ralston's communication topics, he is often transmitting frustration, aggression and frustration in his expression. He does occasionally miss identifying limitation in others and continually underestimates his natural ability. It doesn't need to be called out (that someone is limited) but it genuinely appears to be pain point for him; how often do we see him incredulous that others do not " get it ". And then he vomits out a rant punctuated by frustration. 

I've seen people who repress or are unconcious to feelings / emotional affect be very close to becoming charged up and triggered. Emotional energy resides just under the the surface. If Ralston is doing any of this, Love as a concept could be a blind spot. Repressed. Overlooked. Discarded as nothing but human fantasy.

Anyway just some random musings. We only have what he chooses to show / expound on, to work with.

Im not quite sure what you're asking. If you rephrase I could answer. But my deepest compulsion and desire is realizing im completely alone / solipsism at the deepest level. 

I became God concious at 19 and the entire reality and sense of other completely vanished.

One thing I will say here is Love is not synonymous with Truth, and those who say this don't know anything about Love. It's obvious to spot.

Pure delusion Love is the very substance of Truth itself

These people don't think of themselves as a finite perspective.  That's their obvious defense to any criticism.  If they  were seen in real life, they wouldn't have such a defense.  This is all just online posturing.

You can become concious there is no such thing as real life

Sometimes - I've met people in real life who were remarkably true in transmission to their online persona. It is just very, very uncommon. 

Witness, even, these forums. No one reveals any connection between their avatars and real life.

Exactly.  This is why I think this format is not that good for relationships or Love even.  There's too much imagination interfering with direct experience.  If you never met someone in real life, you don't epistemologically have a basis to know them.  Anyone can troll someone online.  I hang in there because it shows me which people over time have a disconnect, which proves to me what I already know.
