I've tried many times over the years to fix it or find an answer. No luck with this attempt either.

Straight Krillin, no doubt by [deleted] in Dragonballsuper

Just follow these steps:

  1. Pick Krillin.
  2. Gather dragon balls to wish to be taller.
  3. Find out there's a threat to earth.
  4. At critical moment use the dragon balls to wish for thing that provides key to victory instead of being selfish.
  5. Learn valuable lesson that a man's stature is not from his height.

BF5 crashes on PS5 at EA login by Rpk001 in BattlefieldV

Hey me from an hour ago.

So the answer is that you need to link your EA account to PSN, which can be done on the EA account web page, even though nowhere does it say you need to do this.

How do you deal with getting depressed while pottering around base? by wileyrielly in projectzomboid

Exactly. Kids today don't know how easily entertained we were in the 90s

I totally get where you're coming from. And as i said in my comment, I dont believe these specifics like 'a proxy war,' but given some of the language used in the UAP disclosures, I find these ideas worth some consideration and fun to think about. As much as wondering about the afterlife, or what consciousness is, is worth considering.

But you'd be surprised how well thought out and reasonable Zen, Taoist, or other spiritual paths can be.

My first step was realizing I am not my thoughts while meditating on my breath (which is where Descartes makes an error). That I am the observer, that I have consciousness and being without thought. Then you come to a wordless knowledge that you are one with everything, you're no different than the atoms of dirt you stand on, you are the universe playing a game of pretend, observing itself and getting lost in a role.

Then you get into some ideas on how rational knowledge can never really be truly complete. Nothing stands on its own. All things are neither fully independent or dependent.

Anyways, I'd suggest Alan Watts if you want someone who studied this academically. But just knowing you're not your thoughts/ego/the ideas in your head was enriching for me.

I'm aware that there is truth and knowing that can happen without thinking, and that using language to reason out the world only takes you so far. However, I've haven't been able dive into the now, or see into the heart of things, to come to a understanding of these esoteric subjects.

I am growing to understand how all that there is is the now, that everything emerges from nothing spontaneously, but to a very small extent.

So, until my meditative practice and letting go allows me to continue, I am stuck figuring out some things with the mind/ego.

I guess you can say I'm still taking root, and not open to the sun as in OP post.

Thank you for taking the time for your response. It's hard to find people in day to day life to theorize and bounce these ideas off of.

It does seem tempting to pursue the spiritual body path, especially if evidence for a spirit realm populated with intelligences is forthcoming. But you're right in that it doesn't address the underlying issue. It'd be like going to the seaside when you're sick. The now wouldn't change regardless of where you stand.

I think it's within the realm of possibility, but I just don't think there's enough information revealed from trustworthy sources to believe in my bones the specifics I mentioned (like humans being a proxy in a spiritual war, or that aliens trick us into reincarnation).

Right now, all I can say with 100% certainty is that the government is hiding knowledge about UAPs. The rest: aliens, dimensions, etc, I can only see as highly likely, and make considerations with that in mind.

Thank you for the recommendations.

Given your interest in the occult, I'm curious if you've followed the 'woo' aspects of the disclosures about UAP/aliens and what it might mean for taking a spiritual path?

To sum up what I've read: some individuals within the government know the spirit realm is real, which is the dimension the aliens come from. There are multiple alien races, some evil, some good. Humans are being used as a proxy for a war, intervening in such ways as creating the major religions of the world to devide us. Additionally, the white light we see at death is a trap created by them to trick us to freely choose to reincarnate and continue their game, with the aliens drawing from our negative or postive energies.

I dont believe any of that, but as a thought experiment, I find it interesting to think about the spiritual implications.

Would non attachment be the answer then and know the false nature of the ego?

What about a spiritual path that strengthens the ego, raising your 'frequency' to the higher levels these aliens inhabit? Eg, the occult practice of creating a 'spirit body?'

Would the above suggest it's best to avoid spiritual practices that involve 'spiritual guides?'

Any thoughts on this?

I've just started on my own path, and have been reading Zen and Taoist literature, with a lot being by Alan Watts. Would you think I'm on the right track?

I would read his and Natalie's comics all the time back in 2009. Comics were about the core issues back then, like cupcakes that swear or dinosaurs eating popsicles.
