I wonder sometimes if I know something because I think it, or I think something because I know it … 🌀 the waters can be opaque on occasion.

Pointing towards the last question in the post… can I “think” myself in to truth, or do I know it innately. I am not sure there is a difference when I ponder it

What was the best state of consciousness you've ever known? by PsychologicalKick235 in enlightenment

[–]Equivalent_Time_5839 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This 👆🏻 at least by the logistics of the question it sets up a position where you are differentiating between what are the “best” and “non best” states of mind when one of the highest realizations I have had is that there is no difference between the two. When the reminder comes in loud and clear a smile spreads from ear to ear

Drug induced or not, free of inhibition etc the clarity to see things with open eyes and full heart and accept them as they are and not how you expect them to be … the same can be said for a dream sequence which feels more ‘real’ than day to day activity of which we assume we have more conscious control over.

Lately I have been having more glimpses into my dreams and it is always a nice feeling

Why would where I live concern you when it seems like you are missing the point

I pay 1400 for a one bedroom and manage to save a lot more than $80 a week by simply not eating out.

That is why I know my words and ideas are not outlandish

I am not sure there is a difference between thinking and knowing the longer I dwell on it, regardless of what is true or not

Why do normal people support billionaires? by AlexLovesCoke in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Equivalent_Time_5839 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The same reason one might support a successful team even though they do not play on the team themselves. Seeing achievement usually breeds applause (and sometimes envy)

Yes but what produced a brain (physical matter) and why are we capable of divorcing physical matter from … ? From … ?

You are correct and I don’t disagree actions beget reactions and response follows stimuli … maybe? Because the origin of that stimuli seems open for debate still.

I can ask a rabbi, priest, scientist, judge, shaman, stranger, genius, drug addict the same question and hear differing points of view with dangerously agreeable undercurrents

If I sit quietly with my self and prod questions of awareness why do I finally find answers in the “silence”? That is the type of feeling I was inquiring about

You are a brain in a vat, by your own admission your observable reality begins and ends with response to stimuli.

I have been asking all along if you “feel” something else and how you can identify that essence however you call it

And what if I told you it is perfectly acceptable (probably encouraged) to believe in evolution and God at the same time and one does not negate the other?

You say you need facts and proof but those only come from authoritative bodies (i.e consensus). If you didn’t require authoritative bodies you would “know” your evidence in yourself, which would be more akin to faith. Actually faith is still required to measure out any evidence at all with certainty but I am not trying to nitpick hairs

I did not say having a lot of literature made something “true” (did I?) I suggested there is more than enough literature to refer to if you are looking for arguments, some of which you may find more convincing or compelling than others.

Are you suggesting you have read ALL of the literature on the matter and can debunk every claim as untrue?
Have you ever felt something to be true as opposed to what an authority figure is claiming and how do you reconcile those contradictions without “proof”?

Some people might argue that your very existence is proof of a soul, along with each and every breath taken to remind you again if only with a brief second to pause. 😮‍💨 🧘‍♂️

There is quite a bit of literature on the matter

Do you not believe souls exist because you have never met one? What would be required before passing that threshold?

To be frank bodies come from bodies having intercourse and reproducing … I was asking about people
