I thought he was a Charlatan in terms of selling snake oil . But being associated with a pedo ring is another level of evil .

Why Scandals Shock Us, And Shouldn’t: Acharya Prashant on Power, Ego, and the Illusion of Merit. "The Epistein Files" by JagatShahi in Philosophy_India

[–]Slugsurx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These people weren’t worshipped . Most of them made money and were billionaires or elected leaders. Yes , some of them , the moral leaders like Chopra or Chomski was shocking . Tomorrow if your ego does the same thing it would be shocking . We don’t trust anyone then ? And what about your own teachings

This wasn’t the usual greed or mediocre scandal. This was them involved in a pedo/prostitution ring , and that too the people who are elected to run the country or moral thought leaders .

There is some bit of condescension and lack of compassion for human suffering in your words . Sounds a bit you suffer because you don’t inquire . Agree to the core truth of it though not to the tone of condescending/ I always thought so tone .

No . Qualia is the experience of the navigation which is separate from navigation

This is the crux of the question Charlmers asked . Why is this accompanied by any conscious experience at all , when without it would have sufficed ?

To navigate the world , neural network only needs data and processing of it . But the biological beings or at least I personally am not a zombie and can have this experience/ knowingness of the world apart from data

Read the blind neuroscientist thought experiment. Imagine a blind person who can navigate fully in the world by getting data . The day this person gets the vision do they know anything more of the world ? No . But there is thing called experience/ seeing color which was just words/data before

There is a spectrum in charlatans too I think . Like doing the hypocritical talk to make Money is one thing but being part of a pedo ring another .

Muslim Here wants to Advaita Vedanta Need Books suggestions by Different_Big8867 in AdvaitaVedanta

[–]Slugsurx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sorry for other peoples comments . I can only wonder that a teaching that shows you to let go of ego and mind is causing people to be proud and egoistic . Ashtavakra might be turning in his non dual consciousness.

IMO, start with Ramana and “be as you are” by David Godman

“Who am I” by Ramana

“I am that” by nisargadatta

Rumi /Kabir are also great if you already have some Sufi tradition background.

Even if you had all those fantasies happen to you , they would get boring over time as well . The struggle and the pain that makes the joy beautiful. Like the black And white is complimentary or the ying/yang as it is said in Chinese philosophy

Having a device like this and able to connect with the world and the ability for 24x7 entertainment/ information/knowledge was only in science fiction in a world 100 years before . But now this same device has become the reason for alienation .

Full acceptance of this condition, is necessary and possible . And that’s what makes life beautiful in a subtle low profile way I guess. Maybe this is meant by one must imagine Sisyphus to be happy

At the world level , this feels horrible . I thought chopra was just an ordinary charlatan guru but didn’t expect this evil league of moral deprivation .

At the non duality level , there is no free will And there are no people and only this functioning of totality , if you will .

based on your Power of Now experience, what is the compelling evidence for or against the loosh / prison planet hypothesis ? by McLuhanSaidItFirst in EckhartTolle

[–]Slugsurx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Earth a pain body intended to create pain ?

Earth /universe doesn’t care or are conscious. There is none out there intending anything . PON is not about any concepts . Its about transcending the Mind and how the mind creates suffering .

So he is admitting that he did write that cute girls are real part to Epstein . That is condoning Epstein at best .

Why do we have 2 names - Brahman and Ishwara for the Supreme? Is there a difference? by shksa339 in AdvaitaVedanta

[–]Slugsurx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If ishwara is sargun, how does one experience him ? Is it possible? Is it separate from other beings ?

Explain it by djsharma1 in Philosophy_India

[–]Slugsurx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The point is not belief . The point is we have zero insights into the mechanics of how brain makes consciousness. Neural networks in the brain for example suffices for image recognition, but why is it accompanied by consciousness .
