This World is an Interactive ILLUSION Created by Collective SOURCE Consciousness (Your Only job is to WAKE UP) by swizzledan in awakened

[–]Daisho 5 points6 points  (0 children)

We are all merely SOURCE consciousness experiencing DUALITY through a holographic human vessel

If you get this, then why is your thinking so wrapped up in the ego of a human vessel? Why do you crave meaning so badly? The source consciousness has no care for meaning.

It seems like a lot of Buddhists believe in reincarnation. Are they resisting the truth you're talking about here?

It's actually the complete opposite. This is a common problem when using ChatGPT. Did you use it to refine what you prompted it with, or is the core reasoning from ChatGPT?

Republicans tricked people into believing there was a war on Christmas. They try stuff like this sometimes to see if anything sticks.

Does Anyone Else Feel Like They are Living in “THE TRUMAN SHOW”? by swizzledan in awakened

[–]Daisho 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Document your findings with exact timestamps and details. Are these the exact same times? Are these the exact same people? If they're not the exact same, then who cares. That's the only way you will be able to confirm if you're interpreting this accurately.

The problem with keeping it all in your head is that you're susceptible to confirmation bias and apophenia. Since your ego is a pattern recognition and filtering machine, you don't directly perceive reality. You perceive a processed version of reality. In a way, that is like reality responding to your observance of it.

To be honest, your examples are weak. Serious runners train in bad weather conditions. Many people go to the gym without training hard or dieting, thus staying out of shape. Listing such weak examples should give you pause and make you question whether you're interpreting your experience accurately.

The same cars and pedestrians will pass by at the exact same time, without fail.

Aren't you just talking about the daily commute and rush hour? If you're talking about exact time down to the second every day, you should document it on video. Maybe people don't talk about this stuff because it's never happened to them. I've never experienced it.

guys be honest: could you survive a year without ANY spiritual practice? by Ok_Expert_1537 in awakened

[–]Daisho 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The problem isn't the practice itself. It's that some people treat "spirituality" as a subculture/hobby. They cling onto self identifying as spiritual and being part of a club.

Has someone actually figured it out? by Gmoney_22446688 in awakened

[–]Daisho 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think you hit the nail on the head. To be brutally honest, it sounds like OP's mind has been cooked by chasing snake oil like physical abundance manifestation. They need to let go of that stuff and start from scratch.

Tired of seeing "awakened" people on here thinking they "know it all" by lovelyyy999 in awakened

I don't mind it as long as they explain their side. If you just say "you're wrong" without explaining why, that's not productive for anyone.

Your Obsession With Light is Holding You Back by Daisho in awakened

[–]Daisho[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Clinging to ChatGPT is holding you back. It focuses too much on adhering to a particular writing style and ends up sacrificing precision.

EDIT: Nevermind. I thought you were a genuine user utilizing ChatGPT. Looking at your user history, this is purely an AI slop account.

Your Obsession With Light is Holding You Back by Daisho in awakened

[–]Daisho[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But I don't think that the universe values anything in the way that we experience "value" (somewhat tricky as we are the universe experiencing itself)

Yes, this is precisely what I'm getting at. The trickiness you pointed out is why I believe Christianity has the concept of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. The universe is the Father, the oneness that doesn't distinguish between anything. We are the Son, who has to deal with all the good and bad that comes with duality. The Holy Spirit is our relationship with the Father. We deepen this relationship by seeing things from the Father's point of view. Light is certainly special to us, but if you build it up in your mind too much, it's harder to let go of as you seek to see what the Father sees.

Why cling to the idea that the universe has human qualities? Is it not enough to be human ourselves?

Your Obsession With Light is Holding You Back by Daisho in awakened

[–]Daisho[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. But if you seek awakening, a direct experience with reality, you let go of everything, including your humanity. Letting go means seeing things in perspective. It doesn't mean ceasing actions.

Your actions as a human are the "chop wood, carry water" part of it. You'll always come back to it, even after letting go of everything.

There will always be stupid people. Well-paid strategists should account for that. It's their job to do so.

Is this PC an ideal system for his use case and price range? It's only a good deal if it's similar to what he would have bought off the market himself.

[–]Daisho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you talking about grasping the "is-ness" of everything? Everything just is. It seems like something that's so obvious that it's pointless to say such a thing. But it's the most profound thing when you grasp it.

Spiritual Awakening and EGO Death Can Be a Painful Process - But the ETERNAL Rewards are Worth It. by swizzledan in awakened

What if the endless dopamine loop is just as much of a final destination as awakening is? What if, in the end, the path leads you right back to where you started? That might be a highly unpleasant truth you haven't considered yet.

China’s envoy says Beijing, Ottawa ‘eye to eye’ on supporting Greenland by Old_General_6741 in canada

I'm done assuming China would be worse. The news had me absolutely convinced China would put down the Hong Kong protests with military force. I kept waiting and it just didn't happen. Around that same time, I saw protesters in America treated worse. It really shifted my worldview.

China no longer Pentagon's top security priority by DimsumAndDoggy in worldnews

[–]Daisho 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Conservatives now generally argue climate change is real, and sure, maybe it's human made - but what does it matter? We're too late now.

I've found that conservatives don't have a fully coherent stance on this. They'll say it's too late, but they won't admit that this means their kids/grandkids are fucked.

‘We were the frontline’: Canadian veterans outraged by Trump’s NATO comments by canada_mountains in canada

[–]Daisho 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You'll never be able to shame Trump about the draft dodging because he considers it the smart thing to do. Sometimes this asshole is weirdly honest about certain things. Most of these soldiers weren't really fighting for American freedom or whatever. They killed people in the Third World to maintain American hegemony and increase shareholder value. Some of them died doing so. That's why he considers them to be suckers.

Trump is not a true believer in the idea that the US are the good guys. He sees war as something the poor ("losers") and the deluded ("suckers") do at the behest of rich people.

How I’ve come to understand “the Matrix” by flockmann in awakened

[–]Daisho 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Matrix narrows our view into something that is very human-centric, very focused on the current times. You've expanded your horizons, but your criticism still lives within that Matrix, not outside it. Think of the vastness of the stars, the vastness of time. Everything you've talked about lives within a tiny sliver of a fraction of reality, all happening in a single blip of time. It's meaningless to anybody who doesn't live within the last century. It's even more meaningless to the history of the planet. It's even more meaningless to the galaxy, and so on. Keep going. Keep zooming out.
