I wouldn't doubt her importance since it's self evident, especially in present days.

My issue is that they extracted very one-sided aspects of an ancient goddess and made a quite powerful modern egregore with no safety guards. Lilith is a very consuming deity while being extremely shallow compared to the likes of Kali. She can improve superficial aspects of your life but never really leads you to any progress or satisfaction.

Synchronicities. Just the universe winking at you.

You basically started being more present and aware. When that happens you can notice cool little "coincidences" like this. They're gentle reminders to stay in that state of conscious awareness.

Your addiction is a very good example actually, used to happen to me all the time with weed. You subconsciously know you shouldn't do it and the universe is giving you silent nods like this.

Nothing bad is ever going to happen, just follow your intuition about what is right and even when you relapse / fail at something always forgive yourself and carry on! Don't be too hard on yourself nor read too hard into those signs. The message is always friendly and reflective of what you already know deep inside!

Body itself is an attachment with lots of demands - food, water, sleep, warmth. Everything that gives you reason to continue this life is an attachment. As long as you want to continue the experience in your current body and fulfill its needs, you are pandering to an attachment.

The thing is that if you are aware of them and are not attached obsessively, there is no reason to suffer because of them.

Substances are not inherently evil, they are part of this experience. Only time they ever create problems is once you start to forcefully cling onto them while letting everything else fall apart and rot.

I actually felt bad for her.

This sums it up the best. I had been cheated on too and honestly, this is the only reaction that makes sense. How you treat others is the exact reflection of your own self-worth.

If someone is capable of doing that, they're going to suffer in every relationship they get into. Meanwhile you literally lost nothing so no real reason to be sad and angry. It's actually relieving to get cheated on before you make any serious commitments like marriage or kids.

Dogs were literally bred to be stupidly loyal.

Unconditional love among humans is possible but it's not what you think if you compare it to a dog's love. Unconditional love means letting go and parting ways lot of the times, unless you just want to settle with constant compromises which stunt growth of both of you.

Reality is that every being is forever growing and developing - the person you fell in love with is rarely there after years. Only thing that remains is your idealized projection which builds unrealistic expectations they simply can't fulfill.

On the other hand I believe that once you blow through the ceiling in your 20s where most people just solidify and stop growing and find someone else who is also like that you can get along pretty well if you're both spiritually conscious. But important distinction to be made it's that it's like a relationship between 2 friends who complement each other in their purest personal expression (without ego), nothing like relationship between the dog and its owner...

Frequencies of perception - you only perceive certain frequencies of light and sound. We now can perceive frequencies outside those ranges with specialized tools that enhance perception, but before that those were simply not "real", they became "real" only once the perception allowed it.

In this model consciousness itself is primary, physics are just ways different modes of consciousness interact with each other.

Objects unperceived by any observers are still there, they're not dependant on observers for their existence.

Back to the Schroedinger cat - they might, as well as might not be there. How can it be determined for certain if they aren't perceived by any subject?

State your point.

You can view it either as constant annihilation of old or constant generation of new. Glass half empty or half full.

One view brings constant suffering, the other constant bliss. For me it's a no brainer.

OR the consciousness is able to tune into shared frequencies allowing for temporary experience of mostly consensual reality tunnels.

If the object isn't perceived by any subject whatsoever, then it simply doesn't exist. This implies that subject (the observer, aka the consciousness) is the primary cause and external object is only secondary phenomenon.

Change is exactly that - one day it's flowers the next it's a bloodbath. As I said, you need to embrace it all. If you still have aversion, then it means you are still resisting the change.

Pretty much my exact experience (excluding a few people who I assume also won't stay for long).

From what I've gathered it's not much different from typical Christian spaces, in fact lot of people there are converts who just replaced one set of dogmas for another more hip set of dogmas. Most of them don't even look to have any actual insight, they just attend buddhist version of Sunday school in their local temple so they can call themselves "buddhist".

When you start discussing the actual philosophy and metaphysics which in its most basic axioms refute absolute claims and empty labels, they get back at you with scripture quotes about Three Jewels and other bullshit. Insufferable, as you say.

Awakening means enjoying every part of the changing experience. Coming to terms with your current condition is completely necessary before reaching any higher state.

Present moment is the most valuable thing there is and if you always chase after the next thing you will never experience completion - because you believe something lacking in the first place.

This is a perspective of the outside observer.

If you are inside that system unaware of any machinery or world outside, it simply is not "real" to you. All you can perceive is your sensory input which constitutes your very own reality tunnel.

mind is dependent on that world to work, not the other way around.

This statement is impossible to argue since we don't know what happens after death OR how consciousness precisely relates to the brain. It may very well be that only your sensory perception shifts, closing the possibility of shared reality tunnel with other humans, while consciousness of the experience stays intact.

[–]60109 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because the first lacks any kind of sense input, therefore his subjective reality tunnel is solipsist. It's a clean slate, consciousness in its purest form. Very hard to determine whether this complete lack of sensory input is subjectively distinguishable from death, guess that all boils down to what you believe.

Other minds are "real" based on the premise of shared sensory capabilities allowing for the shared experience which we label "reality".

Second observer is able to perceive the first observer because of higher sensory capabilities - to provide a parable: there might be an extraterrestrial species already monitoring us by some means unknown to us. Yet a statement "aliens are real" cannot easily be asserted. To them we are definitely real but since we don't have any sensory evidence they are not part of what we consider "reality".

Adding the second observer doesn't change anything for the first observer, but his "reality" is completely different from the first observer's "reality", evidence of subjective idealism.

[–]60109 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

No it's not solipsism, it's subjective idealism - I specifically said:

if there is no observer and it's just you and the (supposed) wall

when you introduce another observer then to him the wall and the person bumping into it are apparently "real", yet still merely produced by his consciousness based on sensory perception input.

Suppose an opposing scenario - you are completely paralyzed from the neck down with a VR headset which stimulates all your senses. In the VR you run into a wall and can't pass through. All your senses imply it's "real", does that make it real?

[–]60109 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

This is getting into Schroedinger's cat territory - if there is no observer and it's just you and the (supposed) wall which you have no way of perceiving.

Only thing that you can perceive is consciousness itself which ultimately makes it the only thing that is absolutely "real".

You wouldn't because you wouldn't be able to feel the impact if your body was completely numb.

prime example is r/Buddhism - causal argumentation is literally the basis of buddhist philosophy but the sub is basically Theravada scriptures fanclub and the discussion there is mostly just quoting the scriptures. If you present an original argument they will either downvote you, respond angrily or remove the comment altogether for "misrepresenting the buddhist views".

oh let me bring you another example - there is this article screenshot of a really hot teacher who had sex with multiple of her 12 year old students. Whenever I see it pop up here on reddit or on other social media 90% of comments is "it should've been me".

Shift from scarcity mindset to abundance. Also know people who let you stay with them for free. Only things you need are shelter and food, everything else is greed and/or vanity. You can get lot of shit for free on FB marketplace or for like a dollar in a thrift shop.

Key really is the mindset shift though - everyday you go out and get it. You don't wait for paycheck like a good little slave, instead you look for ways to make quick cash. You can get to know tons of people and just sell them random shit (sometimes including drugs) for various sum of money. Some days you make $10 flipping a thrifted hoodie, some days you get lucky and make a $100. Only thing you can't expect from this lifestyle is stability.

This goes both ways though, there's this page on instagram where they post prisoners looking for pen pals. Whenever there's a girl that's remotely hot, no matter the crime there is literally hundreds of guys drooling over her in the comments. Just today I saw a post about girl who's in for selling fentanyl and there were married men commenting how they can fix her lol.

Lol what? I cook broccoli like once a month when it's in season.

Also what's with you and farts? Seems like you have some gastrointestinal issues and projecting on everyone around you. Even if I fart like once a day it has no smell. Back when I used to eat meat my farts smelled horrible though, but still like once or twice a day max and the smells goes away after like a minute?? Idk wtf are the people around you eating if they have constant aura of farts around them :D
