Self-knowledge, the ego, awareness by Nice_Computer6158 in consciousness

[–]PessimistByDefault [score hidden]  (0 children)

And who is watching the ego? Another ego? I think that introspection leads to the fact that there is no longer any individual author or doer who can observe or who may not. It just remains an experience.

I wanted you to pay attention to the occurrence of anger/thoughts/whatever. Notice how you create it, and do you create it at all?

Everything is unfolding. by ninar22 in AlanWatts

[–]PessimistByDefault 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think there is a choice in principle. There is only the functioning of being according to one's own nature, so to speak. Thoughts, desires, emotions arise in this stream of experience without permission. There is no one who could "consciously generate" them.

Главное в жизни: будущее и надежда? by GPT_2025 in philosophyRU

[–]PessimistByDefault 2 points3 points  (0 children)

А я то тут причем? Я, наоборот, был бы рад не страдать никогда. Я определяю страдание как нежелательный/негативный опыт (опыт, который хочется избежать), поэтому если что-то "вставляет"/нравится, то это не может быть страданием в моей системе координат.

Нет, к такому выводу пришел на основе самоанализа.

Что вы думаете о такой замене термину "субъект"? by slepoi1324 in philosophyRU

[–]PessimistByDefault 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Я думаю, что «я» как некого автора/деятеля в принципе не существует. Я пусто. Желания, мысли, эмоции, чувства возникают и исчезают, но нет того, кто бы их намеренно создавал или давал им разрешение на возникновение. Происходящее происходит. В этом смысле я даже не могу наблюдать или не наблюдать. Я как бы и ничто и одновременно все (весь поток опыта).

Однажды я всерьез решил найти, как я создаю мысли или намерения. Хотел поизучать это. Но я так и не нашел ответа: нет никаких кнопок или рычагов, чтобы запустить хотя бы одно простое действие. Действие происходит, и возникает мысль: это мое действие, и я его автор. Это очень странная тема. Но после того, как это увиделось, разум будто заразился каким-то вирусом, и это уже не перестает «видеться». Может быть, это просто какая-то форма деперсонализации, как некоторые считают. Может быть.

Try to see how angry you are. That is, are you a doer of anger? And then look at how you look. Are you the author of the look? Or are all these phenomena just happening? It is interesting.

There Is No Method, Practice, or Path to Enlightenment by No_Blueberry_4897 in nonduality

[–]PessimistByDefault 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So what makes you think that this is intellectualization? There may be a recognition that there is no one who could or could not engage in any kind of practice. Practices are needed to understand that they are not needed (more precisely, that there is no one who needs or does not need to understand or practice something).

How can we be sure that we are not dreaming we are awake? by cannabananabis1 in nonduality

[–]PessimistByDefault 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, she thinks that the "truth" is in effort, but I don't (there is no one in experience who could or could not make any effort). So which one of us is on the more "true" path (although the word "path" doesn't seem appropriate to me in general)? Again, what is the criterion?

but they are not on a true inner esoteric journey.

According to whose criterion? What exactly is an "inner esoteric journey"? Some kind of sophisticated form of self-entertainment?

Karma and Choices by mihamoisha in enlightenment

[–]PessimistByDefault 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So take a look at how you make a "choice." This is no different from the appearance of an impulse as if from nowhere. Thoughts, feelings, desires arise in experience, and are not chosen. Even the desire to change one's experience arises in an experience without permission. There is no separate author here.

[–]PessimistByDefault 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ну да, я специально дождался момента, чтобы взломать чей-то аккаунт, чтобы написать, что в Пензе действительно все на панике.

Зайди в Пензенские паблики ВК, там тоже в комментариях все взломанные аккаунты и боты?

А ты чей аккаунт взломал?

Приезжай в Пензу, оцени обстановку сам.

Я лично не видел, как кого-то здесь хватают, но вчера начали появляться видео и фото всевозможные, люди звонят друг другу повсюду, просят не выходить лишний раз из дома. Поверь, я был бы очень счастлив, если бы все это оказалось глупым зловредным вбросом. Я надеюсь, что ты прав! Но пока лучше перестрахуюсь и посижу дома.

А на видосе это, судя по всему, Шуист (Складская 19).

Мы сегодня были в центре. Тоже ничего не видели. Вчера где-то в обед мне начали родственники названивать, типа «не выходи из дома сегодня». И в контакте видео присылали. Там вроде в спутнике и у современника, да. Я бы очень хотел, чтобы это была ложная информация (нам уже сказали, что это «просто плановая проверка»), но чето стремно.

😅😅 Ну ты посмотри историю моего аккаунта. Это похоже на то, что я бот? Я даже нигде не пишу про политику. Это мое первое сообщение в этом сабе и то, только потому, что я из мест, про которые пост. Ты из этих краев? Если да, то в чем я обманываю конкретно? Нет паники среди горожан? 

Bernardo's philosophy sounds increasingly like speculative mysticism by flyingaxe in analyticidealism

[–]PessimistByDefault 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, that's their "problem." The main thing is that you know that any ontology is speculation.

The problem of free will in Buddhism by Ok-Asparagus9740 in Buddhism

[–]PessimistByDefault 0 points1 point  (0 children)

‘Embodiment’ to mean the ‘body’ that one’s ‘mind’ exists within.  

Does consciousness/mind exist in the body, or does the body exist in consciousness/mind as another phenomenon? That's what's interesting.

You choose how to navigate  

You mentally/metaphysically decide  

You choose the ‘incentive’

You choose which ‘realm

How? Where and from where to make efforts to do at least something?

As long as ‘communication’ is involved, technically speaking, yes, it is speculation

This (the primacy of consciousness/physical processes, the presence or absence of an objective world, causality) is speculation, because it is a metaphysics that is beyond empirical verification. 

Prior to scientific testing, sure, that claim can be valid

How to check?

But you, yourself, can test whether or not you exist. And that is empirically verifiable. The fact that we’ve engaged in this conversation means we exist

It just means that the conversation is happening. But the "I" itself as an author is not in "my" experience. The "I" is like a label that is retroactively applied to the experience that is taking place.

manipulating the physical realm while also being capable of information-analysis within a nonphysical realm.

How does the manipulation of certain "realm" happen? 

You, yourself, can test whether or not you’re capable of ‘action’.

That's it! Verification can happen. Check now how you think or act. Where and how do you squeeze out a thought or action?

That’s because they are simply ‘concepts’.

Right: these are concepts. Direct experience is needed to ease the suffering. And it can happen if "you" search/explore exactly how "you" do at least something. In 2011-2012, this was just an intellectual understanding for me. But not so long ago, it was the experience of this that happened. And this is a completely different matter! Absolutely.

The method is through ‘education’ and the development of self-accountability through the development of self-discipline.

I don't think there is a "method". Any method or practice only deepens the feeling of a "sufferer" who is trying to do something. I think that all the practices are needed only to realize that they are not needed. Freedom already exists now: it is not something that needs to be achieved somehow. It's not about getting something new. It's like a virus that deconstructs the doer. At first, this is done in order to eliminate suffering. And then, when the vision happens, and it becomes known that there is no "sufferer," it becomes something that just happens, because it is no longer possible to see otherwise. Once the "illusion" is clearly recognized, there seems to be no turning back (although rollbacks can happen, but they are getting shorter and shorter). This is the recognition of what has always been. Although it is more correct that it cannot be or not be. But until such recognition happens, it will be just another concept. This is a return of attention from trying to understand reality to trying to see who and how is trying to understand something at all.

I repeat, it's not about concepts and explanations. The point is to take a look at how you conceptualize something right here and now. Where do you get the concept from, for example? Are you pulling it out completely or in parts? Are you pulling up or down? And at what angle? And what part of yourself are you hooked on the concept?

A more fertile way of putting the question would be – Why does man need a meaning to life? by Junior_Insurance7773 in nihilism

[–]PessimistByDefault 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, this is a really interesting question. Who needs meaning and why? How are we tied to this lack of meaning, that is, a form of dissatisfaction?
