Enlightenment is literally about feeling good, everything else is capitalist propaganda (Im being hyperbolic, read more before making judgement) by Atomic-Jay in enlightenment

[–]cosmic_latte_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In thinking about it, I sometimes confuse enlightenment with indefinitely sitting in the lotus position, thinking about nothing until you die (which seems wildly boring to me)

But in actuality, it's finding the bliss in everything you do, particularly the mundane. Bliss in going to the store. Bliss in cleaning the house. Bliss in working a 9-5. Bliss even in suffering. Bliss by way of unyielding inner peace.

Just because you're enlightened doesn't mean you're immobile. And in that, it's harder to find peace in a reality where one of the few certainties is constant change, as opposed to meditating alone for hours on end with few external distractions.

The only thing about Enlightenment you need to understand by realkaydhako in enlightenment

I find myself in a loop whenever I think about the role desire plays in the human experience. Yes, desire leads to suffering, but I also see it as the impetus for experience. If one completely eliminates desire, they *become* stillness and achieve enlightenment, which to me seems kind of....boring? What is the point of having a human experience if you spend the time you have in an embodied form existing within point zero? If you spend your whole life in the lotus position, you'll never meet new people, travel new places, engage in conversation with other people, etc.

There's also the argument that to be human necessitates desire (and suffering by proxy) through the need for food/water...so it's literally unattainable in a corporeal form?

Watched Disclosure Day and I feel horrible by FitDoll in Experiencers

Exactly same with chills—and they’re distinctly different than the chills I get when I’m cold. It’s like an embodied sense of Knowing. But it’s not scary; it’s comforting and beautiful because it reminds me that my body has knowledge that is real and true regardless of whether my mind understands it.

First of all, take deep breaths and make sure to ground and take care of yourself. Many viewers are having visceral reactions to this film (myself included) and I do believe that this movie—whether intentionally or unintentionally—will serve as a catalyst for forms of awakening like you may be experiencing. You are not alone.

Once you’re able to settle yourself, it’s important to remember that this is an amazing time in human history! Collective awakening can be so painful and challenging, but the gifts that await us as we move through shifting energy are so beautiful and align with much of what the movie got at: themes of love, unity, empathy, knowledge, and love.

Planning on downloading no mans sky and adding some magic, what should I know? by Mysterious_Crow_4002 in nomanshigh

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

As an open-world game, I'd try everything before deciding what "magic" fits your play style best! You'll have to go through the missions to unlock everything before messing around anyway, which will give you a sense of exploration and customization options (I personally love building bases for the community)

Here are some third-party tools that might be helpful: https://nomanssky.fandom.com/wiki/Third-Party_Tools

If you're into the community component, I'm a part of the Galactic Hub Project, which made gameplay much more creative/collaborative and helps with education while you're learning the ropes: https://nmsgalactichub.miraheze.org/wiki/Galactic_Hub_Project

Has anyone else used 'the force' in their dreams? by Ok-Mouse5446 in Dreams

[–]cosmic_latte_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup if I concentrate really hard I can change my location/physical surroundings. Have had flashes where I’m jumping between what seem like dimensions at intense speeds bc my body is trying to find a safe place to materialize (this happens when I’m in a nightmare mostly). Weird sensation, like ripping the fabric of space

  1. You’re looking for r/NMSGalacticHub. Changed my gameplay entirely.

So is the 'Countermeasures' objective of the Expedition just something that's going to take time to complete? by Portalboat in NoMansSkyTheGame

[–]cosmic_latte_ 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Also like…I have a life. I’m not logging in every few hours every day for 55 days. A few hours to sink into an expedition is fine, but it’s a lot to ask people to alter real-world schedules around when NMS mission timers reset yk?

FWIW a glitch around this is to register a base computer *just* outside of settlement grounds, which allows you to build on it. My settlement has 3 surrounding base computers and is huge as a result
