you need to permanently log off before you can even begin to ask that

by that i mean zero internet use and probably zero electronic media

reincarnation is not real, that's just primitive superstition. The reality is this life is all there is, and once you die that's that. Your brain is the machine that is creating consciousness, and once that machine is broken you no longer exist.

Become Catholic, stay in the State of Grace, and when you die you will gain the Beatific Vision.

You don't. Enligtenment is an act for false prophets.

>>25313441
you can only pray to the one who sheds for the three thousands worlds

Zero proof for this btw, Consciousness is not empirical

Reincarnation is probably fake THOUGH

The primitives were right you oversocialized techie mutant.

Begging the question.

If you care about reaching enlightenment, or wanting to "improve yourself" you already missed the point.

The point is to stop caring altogether and go with the flow, not be depressed, not be detached, but also not passionate and not attached.

Realize there is no such thing as being better OR worse than others, and that you've been taking life and existence way too seriously.

It's all not that complex or worth worrying about at all. Think outside of the box and get some perspective, but at the same time also sometimes just shut your brain off because life isn't really worth your thoughts sometimes.

It's fine to step out of life if it becomes too much for you but also life should never be too much for you because it's really not that deep and serious. If you feel anxious, "behind", depressed, "tired" or any other of these negatives it just means you've been taking life too seriously.

If you're pretty content with life and think things are well and okay it means you aren't taking life serious enough.

I figured out how to escape samsara through endless pondering, the Buddhists got it wrong, and it’s unlikely any of us would escape samsara.
