This is the meat puppet definition of humanity. We are not the meat puppet. The experience happens outside of the meat puppet. It is your belief in the reality of your body and your mind that prevents you from realizing the full potential o

They may contemplate as they wish but their minds can only take them so far. They will remain closed to the possibility of true spirituality because ultimately they believe only in material things and they take themselves to be the real thi

So you believe in little green men instead of little blue ones and that makes you an atheist? If you see the experience as nothing more than a dream then that’s what it will become. If you see it as something at least as real as this waking

Advaita Vedanta believes in the concept of God and cosmic consciousness. Yes but it is a path equally of the mind and the heart. You seem to believe that it is only a path of the mind. This is a misconception about Advaita. The mind cannot

Suffering is the nature of life. We all suffer. To be born is to suffer. Just how many people who call themselves Christian are actually practicing and living the message of Christ? If they truly had faith in a higher power they would reali

Sarcasm. Being sarcastic adds nothing to the subject, it is avoidance of engagement. If you want to discuss there is no need to hide behind a device like sarcasm. I am open to all engagement. I realize I am on a site which is mostly compose

It is of no consequence to me what others think or what they covet. They are allowed to their beliefs as I am to mine. You are the one who thinks that you own the ‘I’ all to yourself. You see yourself as a separate individual. That is clear

by fjabre 5y ago
Yes you are right. There are materialists coming out of the Vedas. But what you have just stated here is that you are not an atheist at all. In fact quite the opposite. You are that.

It certainly doesnt mean believing in nothing.

You yourself are Spirit now. You just think you are a body. Buddha was not an atheist. The belief is the other half of this thing. Your benefits of practice will be very limited if there is no belief in it. It will be mechanical Buddhism wh

Who said anything about Christianity?
42.
by fjabre 5y ago
Buddha himself was a Hindu and believed in God, many gods. Hinduism believes in God. Many gods in fact and the concept of a cosmic intelligence. Have you not heard of Bhakti or devotional yoga?

It is a contradiction. “Spirit”ual. You cannot be Spiritual without belief in Spirit. It is in the word itself. You can be a good Atheist however that is mostly in line with good spiritual practices. Atheists seem to want it both ways. To b

It is the best I have felt in some time in fact. The body gets used to it over time. I am not strict with it but most days I find it easy to do. Lots of water throughout the day helps with the empty stomach and not feeling dehydrated. I ski

Yes I agree with you. Body does not go into starvation mode during IF. One meal a day is ideal. My eating window is around 4-8pm most days the last 6 months. Usually just one meal of literally anything I want and Im still finding I have to

I am not looking to debate or argue. I am simply stating my beliefs. You are free to disagree or take nothing at all from it. To become critical of me or my understanding shows how little you have learned from your experiences. Depression c

It is precisely because I care that I commented so that another one may find it. Just for the sake of clarity I am referring to a level 5 trip. Two trips in row with different outcomes? This is not a question that would be posed by someone
48.
by fjabre 5y ago
It is because you see the experiences as false compared to the reality you are now immersed in. If a big trip doesnt manage to completely change your belief system it has mostly failed in its effect. It is the change in beliefs that lead to

You have touched on some very old knowledge found in Hindu and Buddhist texts. You do not exist in the same frame of reference as the objects you perceive. You are fixed while the objects perceived are subject to spacetime. The sense of exi

The answer is in your question. It means if you take us apart and put us back together again the ghost will have left. It will be a huge disappointment for cryogenics. If people want longer lives the body will have to be kept alive in an in

There is no line for online communities. They are all social to some extent. Karma simply makes them more so. We are no longer strangers. Social-ness has been engaged ;)

by fjabre 5y ago
Yes it is particularly social because it has the concept of Karma. It has tamed it by policy but vanity can never be tamed outright. It will always exist in some form on these networks and HN/Reddit style forums capitalize on humans’ v

Indeed. Some may realize they are more than the sum of their parts. Not a popular position here on HN where most find us comparable to CPU memory architecture. The assumption is that all memory is stored in the brain and body, for where els

They can’t. It will hurt their sales. It will hurt Apple. They will have to walk this back or face devaluation. They’ve already done a ton of damage to their brand. It’s really hard to believe they would sacrifice their brand like this. Thi

Amazon and SpaceX were not profitable when started and remained unprofitable for many years. Our collective heart is in the right place. I have my own plans to do something about it but I am not in the same position as say Elon Musk for exa

You could sell solutions to consumers at first. The solution is one that would scale up to big fires but handle the small ones first. If I had a solution to put out a 20 acre brush fire near my house in under an hour I would not be waiting

I think one should use their imagination more. If SpaceX had this line of thinking a decade ago then Space tech would not be where it is today.

by fjabre 5y ago
There's money to be made of course. Tech could be used to help with home defense first, then neighborhoods, then could be scaled from there. If you actually had a solution in hand for even small scale fires that was effective and could

We live in bold times. Doesn't look like the old guard is working. Kind of like what happened with Space. It needed to be disrupted.
