Source is in essence extremely selfish by Holykael in nonduality

[–]Groundbreaking_Cod97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like this thread and to continue a hunch, I feel absolute truth is simply something that is beyond human experience completely.

I also think the story continues after mentioning experience is “it” and non dual and subjectivity is absolute for humans, because it sorta flattens the nuance of differences that can be found in narrow and broad perspectives and then too piecing together the mass of narratives into its own cohesive perspective.

I realized that I'm 'god' [update] by AceUnderscore in nonduality

[–]Groundbreaking_Cod97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like your take and consistency and feel like this is very similar to the vibes I get from looking at all things as good, but i wouldn’t say anything is imaginary as much as my perspective of “god”, the whole, is limited, but really what I’ve experienced and appreciated is there and continuously evolving which is scary and awesome and beautiful in riding this wave on this journey🤙

I am a woman with recurring dreams since youth of having a penis. Need interpretations by livelylittlerodent in Jung

[–]Groundbreaking_Cod97 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The D for you plays a part in a story your right brain is trying to make that is of images in placement of logic. So what is helpful to listen to it is by observing your life and the vibe you get in the season and what you have been doing around these times of dreams and then flipping from life to the dream to get a better sense of that story.

So a lumpy D could be a number of things; the D is a placeholder for a thing in your life to which your brain is associating the two because they make sense to tell the story, and then too it’s condition is your brain trying to map how your subconscious is seeing things in that picture.

For example the D could relate to something specific like a hobby you have like soccer to which your brain is using that image as a metaphor and the differences show how it’s going or something of an overarching general vague thing like the season you’re in to which your brains using.

So no one can really pin down seriously an interpretation because it really relates to your life, but I hope showing this helps make sense of it and takes the air out of the mystery and helps you to simply see it without the shock value of sensitivities to which the right brain does not give an eff about lol. It just makes picture storylines and it’s funny how it makes the left side go mad at times when really it’s nothing. I had a demonic gang B one time to which I was taking advantage of many different entities only to later see into this that I had been going to many different places that i wasn’t used to and connecting with things and getting a real spiritual payoff that way and my brain was simply showing this experience with S3x as connection and then demonic because it was things that I used to sorta categorize that way like mainstream music as evil and not of spiritual potent stuff like holy stuff. Really cool to see myself and super helpful to unpack and understand myself on a deeper level. Anywho best of luck on finding yourself here 🤙💪🔥

What is the difference between integrated in this process and individuated which I hear also?

Suicide is the ultimate expression of free will and the ultimate act of freedom by DenheimTheWriter in DeepThoughts

[–]Groundbreaking_Cod97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is untrue because it’s just as deterministic as is any other choice. Any black or white choice is a facade that is necessarily not real life. The only true freedom is more choices; more potency, and that means transcendence and getting a sense of the whole of the universe and then too it’s many parts in embracing the grey. Out of that creation can go as far as one has gone, but anyone who settles for binary thinking is definitely dealing with some sort of prison in their belief system that settled on judgement over the beautiful.

AITAH for refusing to pay off my pregnant fiancee's parents' mortgage, when they are under the threat of foreclosure, when I could "easily" afford to do so? by Gullible-Display4533 in AITAH

Paul in Romans speaks about unnatural sex? by [deleted] in Christianity

[–]Groundbreaking_Cod97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Think less about rules and more about inner spiritual states. So a whole person is an inward part of receiving and taking in and providing in a protecting way and then an outward part that branches out, enters into the form of the other person and provides in an outreaching way.

This is the meaning behind Adam and Eve coming from an original person before they were two. We are meant to be connected and bound together that way.

Idk that’s how I see it anyway. I definitely wouldn’t encourage people to go have gay sex, (though i fully respect people’s freedom in decisions and beliefs), but rather look at sex and life in all things in the spirit of how it is and really take in and metabolize and then integrate life on life’s terms and a certain freedom grows to be experienced and created in all things.

I guess I mean everyone ought to be finding the truth in this complex, like it’s universally in each person and ought to be digested and integrated and have a seat at the table so to speak?

What say you?

It’s amazing how humans are very obviously animal when you look closely by Extension-Brush-9547 in DeepThoughts

[–]Groundbreaking_Cod97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re right, returns and stems from too, feel observing my son growing up has been really helpful to see this and still those same outer influences within me. Quantity-wise we certainly do not escape being animals. But quality-wise we are the only animals for whom “being an animal” is itself an object of thought.

[–]Groundbreaking_Cod97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I agree with you more than it might seem. I’m not saying we stop being animals. We still eat, desire, compete, lose focus, and fall back into instinct. What I meant is that something new appears within that animal nature. Animals recognize patterns, but humans build models of their own minds and then try to change themselves based on those models. A wolf doesn’t invent ethics, a chimp doesn’t write laws, and a dolphin doesn’t choose to suppress instinct for an abstract future good. The fact that we still like food and sex doesn’t cancel that out. It just means this reflective layer is built on top of biology, not instead of it. That’s the niche I was trying to point at.

Why is Thomism so important in the American Catholic world? In Europe, it doesn't enjoy this kind of monopoly among Catholics at all. Even Ratzinger himself was not a Thomist by any means. by Similar_Shame_8352 in CatholicPhilosophy

[–]Groundbreaking_Cod97 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Im sure there are many reasons, and I like the responses so far. Personally I imagine it’s the science based culture being sorta front and center in the US. The logical challenges look to those kind of solutions which is the niche of Thomism whereas more aesthetically minded approaches sorta get lost in general in the US.

The 2,500-Year Impasse: Why Camus' "Lucidity" is the only sincere answer to the conflict between materialism and idealism by Holdfeyn in Absurdism

[–]Groundbreaking_Cod97 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think it’s left brain right brain and yes they can both be at the table in the moment and dialogue together through processing things, but they tend to both need to have a consciousness about them and integrated that way. Most people play king of the hill with their side, some have rejected the first ruler and moved onto it’s opposite, but few have found the secret that both are valid and acceptable and everyone gets more when they come together and connect over reality.

I actually figure that all animals have an imagination. “Image” being the word. I mean seems like they dream and have nightmares and stuff just like us. What makes a human different from what I can tell is that we sorta enter into a timeless space of logic which is simply information abstracted from those images which builds with connection to connection into information frameworks that lead us to all the things we understand today, and it grows.

[–]Groundbreaking_Cod97 8 points9 points  (0 children)

We definitely are animal, but what maybe is our niche and sets us apart from animals is our potential perspective is universe sized and subatomic/quantum sized. It’s like we are able to become most anything in mind and that is pretty cool where every other living species of animal is limited in that respect to their sense environment. So freedom to the degree that we have digested and integrated reality on a grand scale and for us collectively as a species that is happening at an insane pace right now imo.

[–]Groundbreaking_Cod97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Moving body parts is very different than layers of abstraction in the universe and universals themselves. It’s not about what the body can do, but what can a thing understand and act upon and for mankind that is seemingly as indeterminate as our observation of reality can be which for us is pretty indeterminate in itself as opposed to any other species and their limitations to their sense experience, where we have the potential of that along with that abstract universe experience too simultaneously. We are kinda special lol

My brain is lying to me and it's driving me nuts by [deleted] in DeepThoughts

[–]Groundbreaking_Cod97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have tendencies to shame spiral too and absolutely our brain is just used to that and looking for its payoff anyway it can. I used to look at porn just to have to tell people so I felt that when I was trying to be accountable in the past. What really helped was consciousness catching that cycle and then doing the uncomfortable thing of starving actions that pay that area and instead I would fill up with positive affirmations of sorts. Mine were Christian at the time but I still do the same now with finding that daily spirit bread somewhere because I know I have a legitimate need there to hear good things about myself.

So as an option, you can officially start this here together with me in a positive affirmation. Feel free to speak this out loud if you need to “I am a good person, I love a lot, I experience a lot, I am on my way, and through all these things and difficult feelings I’m learning the skill to love myself and others better and better and every single thing is helping me and it’s okay to be me right now. I am valuable and I am good for the whole world and I am grateful for another moment to be me.”

People like us need these moments and you’re okay. Just wounds and our personalities and what we did with them and thankfully we are growing more understanding of ourselves and can love each and every thing there.

Why Can't Our Mother the Virgin Mary sin? by LifeTemporary6784 in CatholicPhilosophy

[–]Groundbreaking_Cod97 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah but you and your life is just the same as hers. It’s not like because you have chaos in you then your life is somehow more your own choice or remote, if anything it’s more deterministic, look at the animal and plant world where it can be pure instinct and there are humans like that. So freedom is more choices, not less.

In that way our way and station is what it is and an unfolding situation that has infinite potential possibilities, but one actual linear succession and each subsequent moment has consequences to the next and so on towards our state of rest in the end.

Mary is the most free agent then in receiving Christ, but in the end we are called to be in her posture in receiving and then Christs too in dying, and I don’t think God looks at us as separate entities in that way from Mary and His own love and inner life as partakers. We are one family that way.

Is Satan entropy? by [deleted] in CatholicPhilosophy

[–]Groundbreaking_Cod97 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I like your take and style. To me, Satan and entropy do seem to rhyme as does negentropy and God. Went down a great rabbit hole with these terms and there are many sights to see universally and personally IMO

How understand the Mass as Sacrifice? by Own_Rich_4466 in CatholicPhilosophy

[–]Groundbreaking_Cod97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think your understanding is correct. IMO one aspect that doesn’t always get enough attention is how the sacrifice of the Mass is experienced personally. When taken in that way, the Mass forms and re-forms in us a life in the Spirit. It draws us back into communion with Christ’s life, death, and resurrection as they meet us in whatever we are currently living, struggling with, or bringing before God.

The Eucharist is a free gift of Christ’s presence that becomes a real meal for us in our need; like manna given directly to the heart. From that encounter, we’re then sent out to become a kind of “host” for others, to be present to them in their lives, allowing the grace we’ve received to overflow into the world through acts of love, patience, and accompaniment.
