“Today a young man on acid realized that all matter is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration, that we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively, there is no such thing as death, life is only a dream, and we are the imagination of ourselves. Here's Tom with the weather.Wait, it's all me experiencing myself?Is it getting solipsistic in here or is it just me?
>>41325495No dude, this is utter bullshit. You shouldn't trust any "insights" you get on acid or other psychedelics. They're just openings for the demonic to enter.There IS a supreme consciousness behind the world but that consciousness is God, not us humans. You WILL die at some point and face judgement.I swear to God bro, psychedelics aren't a path to spiritual enlightenment. Just meditate or pray (or better yet read the Bible).
>>41325596I'm God
>>41325603No, you're not. You're a human and you're deluding yourself.
>>41325608God is Human.
>>41325495Matter isn't slow energy btw, it's extremely fast energy such that it reaches its own coherence domain, causing the illusion of being separate from energy. Exactly how hot and cold water don't mix unless actively churned together.
>>41325596>don't trust your lying third eye, goy>just be a spiritual cuck like me and read da bibulNah, I'm good
>>41325616Not exactly. The divine essence remains unchanged- the second Divine Person of the Trinity has taken on a human nature. A human is a man. Jesus is the God-Man.>>41325633Yeah the New Agey "third eye" bullshit is satanic. I was into it for a while and most of it's just LARPing and the effects of drugs, and the parts of it that aren't are demon worship.
>>41325633Based dubs checked
>>41325495It's not solipsism. It's that you are a part of a whole. You think you're independent, that's the wrong direction. >>41325596It's utterly proven by actual physics. Matter is fundamentally made of quarks which are zero dimensional vibrations. They are energy for exactly the same reason - vibration is energy. Like you learned in class about why water evaporates. Everything you think is 3D solids are actually made from 0D nothing lmao.This led many famous physicists from history to conclude that the universe is a like a hologram.Acid guy's idea is so close to the truth I bet it wasn't an acid story but just interpreted physics told as if it was an acid story.Interestingly the energy is light, so it's not just "slowed vibrations" but actually light.E=mc^2 Religious people picture a personified, metaphysical god, the creator is not physical at all and everything in our reality is literally made of it.
>>41325495Only 2 things answer the placement question.the question is:"Why am I conscious over here rather than over where you are?"Only 2 things answer it.1. Divine Solipsism2. Ontological Polytheism. ℕ Eternal Gods with their own realities.
ℕ number of separate Eternal Gods coming to play together. Each Solipsistic within our own Realities and interfacing to play through Dream Sync.https://youtu.be/v7G89M5ntGA
>>41325828Dawg physicists don't say that physics proves "reality is all one consciousness experiencing itself" bffr. You don't even understand physics
>>41326006Realistically it's just divine solipsism
>>41326054Is that what I said?>Matter is fundamentally made of quarks which are zero dimensional vibrations. They are energy for exactly the same reason - vibration is energy.>Interestingly the energy is light, so it's not just "slowed vibrations" but actually light.E=mc^2Stephen Hawking's final theory: "It envisages the Universe as a holographic projection."Gerard 't Hooft: "The combination of quantum mechanics and gravity requires the three dimensional world to be an image of data that can be stored on a two dimensional projection much like a holographic image."David Bohm: "The notion that all these fragments is separately existent is evidently an illusion, and this illusion cannot do other than lead to endless conflict and confusion."Leonard Susskind: "The three-dimensional world of ordinary experience - the universe filled with galaxies, stars, planets, houses, boulders, and people - is a hologram, an image of reality coded on a distant two-dimensional surface."

>>41325617It’s much slower than the light from which it came though. Matter is light which distills into hydrogen.
>>41325495The self is opposed by the other, making them distinct yet simultaneously dependant on each other to exist. This codependency forms a philosophical conundrum; I exist, yet I would not exist without the universe. The universe exists, yet it would not exist without me. The universe and I are two effects of the same cause, therefore we are one and the same in origin, yet we oppose each other and so we are distinct. I and the universe are both singular and dual. I am the universe.

>>41327328Wait, it's all me experiencing myself?
Wait, all of us who are conscious are in our own personal reality bubble dream realities and sometimes we sync up to play games together like this one and we have eternal Egos and a place to always call home instead of faceless soup?

no, it's all me experiencing myself
>>41327445>>41327283>>41327224Jesus says "I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life." (John 14:6)Any other path to "salvation", any path to "spiritual enlightenment" that denies the Cross and that Jesus is Lord is a path straight to Hell.
>>41327650that sounds evil
>>41325596I came to the same conclusion without any psychedelics and my sober mind surely isnt a portal to satans orgy club
>>41325495If that's true why did my wife left me and took my money and bought herself a new sports car? I wouldn't have done that
>>41327803You would have if you were her
>>41327665Nah this guy is an Antichrist. You can't just say all religions are true because they make mutually incompatible claims. Jesus says "nobody comes to the Father except through me" (John 14:6) so he can't be cast as just another great teacher.I suspect the teachings of Sri Ramakrishna and other Indian universalist types will be used in the formation of the Antichrist's global religion. It's a demonic lie to say all religions are true. Christ is the Truth.
>>41327853True, but if everything is me would mean she's me also, then she shouldn't have done that. Meaning she's not me and she's her own person
>>41325608Nothing can be separate from God. God is all that there is, all that there ever will be and all there ever was.
>>41327967See, if people really truly realized how far all of this went they would go insane.I am above God.Yes, above God.I am nothing.
>>41327939i just cant believe good hindus buddhists or muslims or even atheists are going to burn in hell and isnt the kingdom of heaven on earth like a new world order?
>>41328114 but im saying this as a genuine new ager based on teachings of alice bailey
>>41325495A stone for example is the divine consciousness asleep, ie, pure stability, the purest of matter. (lowest vibrations - atoms in the rock/solid matter are still vibrating no?).A plant is that same essence learning to grow and turn toward the light, (ie, the first senses developing.)An animal feels, moves, and begins to dream. (but not fully sentient/aware yet.)A human however, becomes aware of awareness, and yes bro, its the universe looking back at itself. always has been. xD(now just think if there was truly nothing at the start of the universe, and everything that we see now around us came from that nothing... dont you agree that everything was from the same original source that made every atom,etc.. including us... we have awareness in a universe that is so hostile to life!! like rly think about the black holes xD just floating out there!!)now we are all stuck on the same question for years. why does the universe want to experience itself? or is it just a mere biproduct of our meat computers in our head ;-;bonus: some say the process of us aware beings trying to figure out why we exist/who we really. (heat produced when thinking, etc) is what pushes the cosmos forth to expand.but who fkn knows mayn :P
>>41325495Two solipsists arguing about who between them is a mental projection of the other is the dumbest philosophical debate that could ever be had.
>>41327803You would do that if moved a few neurons around in your brain which is basically what your wife is (ignoring the rest of the body)
>>41327967No, God is separate from his creation but in the hearts of all believers.>>41328114Nah, not all Hindus, Buddhists, Muslims, and atheists will go to hell. If you're invincibly ignorant you won't necessarily go to hell. But if you hear the Gospel, feel the pull, and reject it you're risking it.And the Kingdom of God isn't exactly a new world order- "Once, on being asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, Jesus replied, “The coming of the kingdom of God is not something that can be observed, nor will people say, ‘Here it is,’ or ‘There it is,’ because the kingdom of God is in your midst.” (Luke 17:20-21)Actually, it's likely the Antichrist will set up a new world order and universal religion, the Christians will be persecuted, and then Jesus will come back, the dead will be raised, judgement will occur, and then the New Earth and New Jerusalem will be brought forth. So in the end maybe a new world order, but it won't be an earthly order but a divine one.
metaphysically speaking, we are all just one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively through bodies.
>>41328812as a new ager the anti christ is basically "“The Antichrist is the forces of materialism, the forces of crystallization, of form, of separateness, and of hatred. It is that which is antithetical to Christ.”— The Reappearance of the Christ, p. 83and “The Antichrist is active whenever the lower self seeks to dominate the higher, whenever hate and separativeness rule.”— Discipleship in the New Age, Vol. II
>>41328812>God is separate from his creation but in the hearts of all believers.doesnt different christian sects disagree about this? aswell as islam and hinduism and other religions?
>>41328851Christ = the force of synthesis, love, and unification.
>>41328859idc what other religions (false religions) other Christian sects (heretics and schismatics) say, the Roman Catholic Church is the one true churchCCC 300: "God is infinitely greater than all his works: "You have set your glory above the heavens." Indeed, God's "greatness is unsearchable". But because he is the free and sovereign Creator, the first cause of all that exists, God is present to his creatures' inmost being: "In him we live and move and have our being."And pantheism (the idea that the essence of God is one and the same with the world) was formally anathematized at Vatican 1.>>41328851Yes, I agree there are ideologies that are Antichrist (communism, atheism, materialism, fascism etc) and also individual Antichrists (Muhammad, Sri Ramakrishna, anyone who denies that Christ is Lord) but there will be one Antichrist as spoken about in the book of Revelation shortly before the Day of Judgement.
>>41328897i cant believe that my dad is in hell and my grandma is going to hell as new agers, and conspiracy theorists all over this bored say the catholic church is litterally satanic and part of the new world order
>>41328897>communism, atheism, materialism, fascismwhy are you bring politics into this? what are your politics btw? im a social democrat progressive
>>41328843how do you know this?
>>41325596>>41325669>>41327445>>41327650>>41327939>>41328897
>>41328941i mean you dont even have to look at it metaphysically you can just see that everything that has concioussness has that same spark and recognize that, so even the little flea and the even the grass and maybe even the rock has that consciousness
>>41328941look at the world around you, its chaos, its all an illusion to distract you from knowing this. the world is what you make it so make it better
>>41328916its so funny that you are funny, i would like to see if you had conversation with Protestant Baptists who say you worship mary, like the american founding fathers freaking hated catholics
>>41328984meant to respond to >>41328897
>>41328916We don't really know who is and isn't going to Hell. If they are in Hell though, you should take that as all the more reason to avoid Hell yourself. BTW the Catholic Church just describes Hell as separation from God, all of the fire and brimstone stuff is interpreted as metaphor.Don't listen to stupid ass conspiracy theorists on this board. The reason people hate the Catholic Church (especially Protestants) is because it's the true church. I challenge you to try and buy a rosary (they're cheap) and feel the demonic forces trying to get you not to do it. Protestants also have an irrational hatred for the rosary.As for the "New World Order" crap it's mostly BS. Secret societies don't run our world, it's a transnational wealthy global elite united by moneyed interests as well as the governmental elite of various nation-states. You should be more worried about nuclear war than the "New World Order" crap. My schizo theory is that there will be a NWO led by the Antichrist but I think it's hundreds or thousands of years down the road- you have to give these New Agey types, neo-pagans, etc time to develop their demonic ass practices into actual religions instead of just BS larping they've picked up from the internet and old books. Then the Antichrist can combine it all into a universal (false) religion.
>>41328999i listen to om meditation mantras and hold the rosary pretty often
>>41328928>>41328928Politics are really inseparable from religion. Every aspect of reality is actually inseparable from any other aspect, we just divide it up into discrete chunks because we can't talk about everything at once. I would consider myself a Catholic / social conservative social democrat. I vociferously oppose nationalism, I think it's anti-Christian. No state on Earth has legitimate authority, they're all corrupt and shitty and always have been. I don't want kids being taught about LGBT crap, I oppose abortion/IVF, the godlessness of Western society is a major problem, but fuck corporations they're evil and they shouldn't run the planet like they do now, we need universal healthcare, I want legal immigration into US (limited mostly to Christians and very talented people), basically social democracy. But no perfect political system will ever exist, what matters is saving souls and protecting the environment.Communism, atheism, and fascism are all bad precisely because they are tyrannical and godless. The godlessness of the West (especially Europe) is why things are going down the toilet, why people can't say what a woman is, why fornication and abortion are normalized, etc. People even 150 years ago would be horrified at the level of sin our society is steeped in and how godless we are. We should pray for America and the West.
>>41328999checked btw
>>41329021you have to admit that logically like traditional religion doesnt make sense for 99% of people if they are honest with themselves, so this is why for forever there has always been new cults new religions new debates within religon and if religion has any reality at all, in my honest opinon the only way forward for humanity is to recognize all of us as part of one breath and one word and we are all divine beings,
>>41325596>No dude, this is utter bullshit. You shouldn't trust any "insights" you get on acid or other psychedelics. They're just openings for the demonic to enter.Why would God provide me with 5-HT2A receptors and the means to overstimulate them if doing so would open a portal for demons to possess me?
>>41328984Protestant Baptists are retards. There are records of people asking for Mary's intercession since 250 AD. Do they really think Christians were wrong for 1250 years until Martin Luther came along (who by the way removed books out of the Bible that supported praying for the dead/purgatory)?Sola Scriptura is also retarded, the Bible says to hold fast to tradition. The idea that the Eucharist is just a symbol is retarded (the real presence is very important) the idea that baptism is just a symbol is retarded (all the Church Fathers believed in baptismal regeneration). American Protestantism is the source of most of the anger people have with Christians in general and it's also on the decline. You'll notice most of the mainline Protestant churches have gone woke, saying sodomy and trans is fine, and they all had schisms over it too. Most of the conservative believing Christians have become evangelicals or non-denominationals, but they basically just participate in Bible groups instead of actually going to church. The idea that some random pastor at Green Mountain Church can authoritatively interpret the Bible is idiotic vs a priest who was made a priest by someone who was made a priest ... by someone who was made a priest by an Apostle.Satan couldn't take down Christ's church so he made the Protestant Reformation happen (though the Catholic Church kinda had it coming with how corrupt it was to be fair).>>41329014You should actually pray the whole rosary.
>>41328999do you agree with everything the popes say even the last woke pope
>>41329065>sodomywhy is two adult gay males having consenual sex a sin if both dont have disease, imo thats why it was banned, if you dont take into accounts if those verses werent talking about pedophillia, but anyway there is so much contradictions within the bible and idk much about catholic history but do the changes within the catholic doctorine fix all contradictions, and when i was in school i did think those excommunications or whatever for rich peoples sins and countless pope scandals
>>41329056God gives us the option to do a lot of things we shouldn't do. It's called free will. He's given Satan power over this world to test us and purify us. The flesh is opposed to the Spirit and the Spirit is opposed to the flesh. You're supposed to crucify the flesh and take up your cross like Christ did.>>41329049No, it actually makes a lot of sense and there's plenty of evidence that Catholicism is true. The historical evidence for the resurrection (12 apostles seeing the risen Jesus, 500 seeing Jesus, Christianity's spread), Eucharistic miracles, the Shroud of Turin, the Miracle of the Sun in Fatima in 1917, Marian apparitions, miraculous healings, I could go on. People's hearts are just hardened because they don't want to submit to God and crucify the flesh.We're not all divine beings. Humans are terrible sinners (look at all the shit "normal" humans did during WW2). If you were a divine being, why can't you cause stuff to appear out of thin air? No, it's a ridiculous idea. You are the pot, God is the potter.>>41329077I don't agree with everything Francis said (especially the stuff about every religion being a path to God), but I generally agree on a more sympathetic and open attitude towards LGBT without affirming sin. I'm an ex-tranny/sodomite so I feel like I have room to speak on this. Leo is based on pretty much everything he's said though. Besides, we're not required to believe everything the Pope says, only what's said infallibly (ex cathedra) which hasn't happened since 1950 and the documents the Magisterium puts out (which are binding but not infallible).
>>41325495I don't mean to invalidate but it seems like many have an experience in life that opens their eyes to a greater reality, maybe you haven't had that experience yet. I don't think reality entirely revolves around the individual, I think we are all dreaming and our interactions shape the dream. If anything you know how when you turn a kaliedoscope it creates a new images? Those images are the different forms of perception but it's the same kaliedoscope, the only singular entity is consciousness itself yet consciousness is an experience shared by many.
>>41329108what about other people who experience miracles in line with other religions, people are sinners because of ego antichrist leanings and disconnection from the true self which is pure.are you sure you arent just larping or brainwashed?
>>41329101The reason sodomy is a sin is very simple: it violates the natural law. You don't have to be a genius to see that the penis wasn't designed to be put in the pooper. More importantly, sex is only non-sinful when it's done within a sacramental marriage, which is only possible between a man and a woman. So it's impossible for two men to have non-sinful sex.The verses about sodomy definitely weren't talking about pederasty. That's modern woke revisionism- there was a Greek word for pederasty and Paul didn't use it, instead he used the word arsenokoital, directly derived from Leviticus where God says a man shall not lie with a man as with a woman, it is an abomination. They didn't have the concept of sexual orientation or two men being in a committed romantic relationship back in the day but they did understand putting your dick in someone's pooper is wrong.All the "contradictions" can be explained and have by Catholic theologians. It's undeniable the Catholic church was corrupt and did some bad things in the past, but it doesn't disprove Catholicism, because the institution itself goes beyond any one individual. You should judge the Catholic church by how it is in the modern day, not how it was in 1300.>>41329131Find me examples of miracles in other religions? There aren't many examples. There is no "pure true self". We're grievous sinners who need the blood of Christ to redeem us. I wouldn't call sincere belief in the Catholic faith "being brainwashed".
>>41329153idk sounds like a blood cult sorry
>>41329153idk even if you look under any video of other religions it says stuff like their god cured their family members or more famous stuff liek muhamad spitting le moon in two
>>41329185Nah, the Muhammad splitting the moon BS is post-hoc revisionism. In the Quran it states how Muhammad didn't do miracles and people questioned him about it. When Muslims made contact with other religious groups they made up a bunch of miracles to not feel bad. The verse in the Quran talking about splitting the moon is interpreted as some as a prophecy about the Day of Judgement, not referring to an actual event in Mo's lifetime. Also he was a pedo so idk how he can be a prophetidk about the anecdotal muh cancer was cured by Krishna nonsense. Even the healings in Catholicism aren't that great evidence, mainly the Miracle of the Sun, Eucharistic miracles, Shroud of Turin, historical evidence for the resurrection
>>41327232Real
>>41325495We are all the same, but the point of running concurrent individual conscious observers in 3D space-time is actually us carving out a particular shape in higher order space.We are building a 5D manifold simply by existing here.That manifold is a technological element in a machine of higher order.We are currently in an encoding period.The problem with the data transfer with the way we are doing this, is that we have to run a scalar value, representative of the entirety of existence, even beyond what we could know of it, through a one dimensional space.Shoving that much encoding through one dimensional space, is tough, without being able to run concurrent channels.We are being trained to be a specific piece of God.One which manages it's own one dimensional channel.The scalar value of your reality tunnel, shoved back down through the one dimensional encoding space, takes a very long time in normal space-time terms. Vastly beyond the lifetime of the Universe.To run the mechanism for that encoding time, other conscious observers must burn their own time, in order to contribute to yours.The most selfless act is one of highest compression ratio.Join the club if you're ready.LZ Compressionists.We reduce the requirements for our own personal "heaven" with no self intent, we move data fastest and have the lowest loss ratios for burn time, to help others encode their scalar values in one dimension.Blue Eisenhower November
>>41329216i personally believe that jesus was a self(the atman which is the true self which is brahman, the ultimate reality)-realized yogi and he had siddhis and either survived using body manipulation or used his rainbow body to come back. the miracle of the sun is but one of many mass hallucination events, eurchraistic miracles could just be self-harm or thought., and isnt the shroud of turin like debunked isnt only like 500 years old
>>41329246sorry if grammer is bad i am indian
>>41329222checked
>>41325603No, but you’re probably a minuscule fraction stripped of your abilities, who knows for sure if all this conciseness mumbo jumbo is even real.
>>41329246but yea Muhammad is bad if he did didlle that girl but some muslims say she was older, and im sorry but it might be true that mary was 14 when god gave her jesus
>>41329226We accept building heaven for others, is a heaven for ourself.Commiting to eternal work, knowing that eternal peace is in others.We are the engine, if you want to be a part of what REALLY moves, when all Planck distances collapse, when all matter is a memory of a quantum fluctuation.The only thing that still moves.You will have to commit to keeping the lights on, until the scalar values diminish for any given instance of the Universe.This is not immortality, this is a cycle of life, you must pedal.When BEN317 casts the intent net, and perishes from this world, the first sign of the engine shift, the concurrent channel update being initiated in full, will be apparent to all on this world.Everywhere you see red shift in this Universe, with your telescopes, will undergo an instantaneous absolute polar inversion, and become blue shift of equal value, who's epicenter is focused on where 317 exits the 3D Space-time plane of existence.
>>41329246Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." (14:6)Jesus can't just be a great teacher or a manifestation of Brahman, because he claimed to be the *only* path to salvation. If you say he was a great teacher, then he lied when he said he was the only Way. If he was telling the truth, then he is the only Way. You either accept Jesus as God incarnate or reject him entirely.There are 0 "mass hallucinations" comparable to the Miracle of the Sun. An estimated 70,000 people saw the sun whirl around in the sky, fly towards the Earth, turn different colors, etc. There is literally no documented case of a mass hallucination witnessed by that many people in history. (Obviously, the Sun didn't literally fall from the sky- it was a vision).You can write off the Eucharistic miracles, but did you know every single Eucharistic miracle has blood type AB+ when tested? The first Eucharistic miracle was in the 700s, and when tested had AB blood. So you would have to say that people have been faking the miracles with a consistent blood type for thousands of years.The Shroud of Turin is legit- it was dated to the 1200s but it's disputed. More importantly, the Shroud shows Jesus being crucified with nails through the *wrists*. The common conception until the 1900s was that Jesus was nailed to the cross through the hands (and this was reflected in art at the time), until people realized that he would have had to have been crucified through the wrists for the cross to hold His weight. So you would have to have a genius unknown artist fake the shroud and also know that specific detail which was unknown at the time.>>41329275Those Muslims are coping. The authentic hadiths say she was 9 when they "consummated the marriage", and there are other problems with Islam and the Quran besides the Muhammad pedo shit. It is likely that Mary was 14-15 when she gave birth to Jesus, but she remained a virgin.
>>41329312>“I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."“I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."'could be a metaphor or symbolic for the christ consciousness vishnu concioussness Shiva consciousness and Buddha consciousness, and its real, and every human should reach that and it will make you a kinder person, and it is in every religion,
>>41329333>vishnu concioussnessand krishna concioussness
>>41325495>this thread turned into another christianty arguement threadjesus christ why dont you come save my life now
>>41329333No, in the context it couldn't mean that. He said this to a Jewish audience in the 1st century AD, who had no conception of God or salvation outside the Abrahamic God. No Christian interprets it this way.Please listen: all of the other great teachers pointed to God or some way to God (or Brahman or whatever), but Jesus pointed to Himself as the only Way. That's what makes him different. You can't reduce him to a great teacher because he claimed to be the one and only Living God.Have you read the New Testament?
>>41329399the new testement was written 100s of years after his birth, i watch like tons of religious content and atheist debates and if im being honest the atheist debaters usually win, but they usually debate fundies and never the christ is within narrative, which i think is the truth>all of the other great teachers pointed to God or some way to Godwell krishna says Abandon all varieties of religion and just surrender unto Me. I shall deliver you from all sinful reactions. Do not fear.could jesus be a incarnation of vishnu, i would like that better than jesus being yahwehs baby or the gnostic version desu
>>41329399have you ever read the Bhagavat Gita or Upanishads? or while i admit has less wisdom but still beautiful quran?
>>41325495>Here's Tom with the weather.the joke is actually NOBODY FUCKING CARES YOU FUCKING HIPPIE
>>41325495Not quite, it’s more like we’re pieces of the universe/god but we’re still inside god/universe. Our reality is one of many and theres a way we contribute. When we die we’re given choices after we’re shown the life we just lived and thats reincarnation or entering a sort of ideal world. Ayys exist and are the gods and devils and champions of old, they body hop and don’t have actual bodies of their and yes earth is under hostile rule of some of these ayys. The movie The Dark Crystal was trying to warn you with the skekis.
>>41329399what did jesus mean when he said "ye too are gods"
>>41329456Wait, it's all me experiencing myself?
>>41329480Yes, but individually so. We’re the same but separate and live individually.
>>41329412Paul's letters were written in the 50s, just 20 years after Jesus's death, and the Gospels were written in the 70s (Mark, Luke, Matthew) while John was around 100. By contrast, the Bhagavat Gita and Upanishads write about things 1000s of years in the past and have far less grounding in actual history. You should actually give them a read.And no, Jesus would say to reject Krishna because he's a false God, not Yahweh. So Jesus can't be an incarnation of Vishnu, or he would have said all religions are a path to God just surrender to the One, etc>>41329442I haven't read the Bhagavat Gita or Upanishads, I have read the Quran twice. >>41329467The full context: 34 Jesus answered them, “Is it not written in your Law, ‘I have said you are “gods”’[d]? 35 If he called them ‘gods,’ to whom the word of God came—and Scripture cannot be set aside— 36 what about the one whom the Father set apart as his very own and sent into the world? Why then do you accuse me of blasphemy because I said, ‘I am God’s Son’? 37 Do not believe me unless I do the works of my Father. 38 But if I do them, even though you do not believe me, believe the works, that you may know and understand that the Father is in me, and I in the Father.” 39 Again they tried to seize him, but he escaped their grasp.Psalms 82, which he's referencing says: “I said, ‘You are “gods”; you are all sons of the Most High.’What he's saying is we're all sons of God, so how would it be blasphemous for Jesus to call himself the Son of God, when he's obviously much greater than any random Israelite. You have to willfully misinterpret the text if you think he means we're all divine beings.
>>41328851That's interesting. I have had a theory for a while now that I haven't bread or heard anywhere else, that the antichrist is the belief in materialism. A physical heaven and hell, physical salvation, physical savior etc. etc..
>>41329773I wanted to add one more thing. I don't mean this in a disparaging way towards Christians, because I genuinely believe in the practice of free will. Or at least as close to practicing free will as we possibly can. This is just food for thought. The point I would like to bring up to practicing Christians is found in these two verses.Matthew 7:13-14King James Version13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.How many practicing Christians do you know? How wide is that way that many travel? Now look at other anons who are searching for truth as objectively as they can. How many people travel that path? Think about it in real life. I know of maybe two or three people irl who are on this narrow path. Again, this is just food for thought. In the end, zooming way way out, ultimately, I don't think any of this matters. It's God entertaining God because infinity is a long fucking time. Think about this too. May people claim we are here to learn. Learn what exactly? If we are essentially one entity experiencing reality from many different perspectives, and we have literally been doing this for all time, what is there we could possibly learn? We have literally ALWAYS been doing this. I don't think it's possible to truly learn anything. We may bring new perspectives into our awareness, but it's not something new we've learned imo, it's just kind of refreshing your memory.
>>41325596> better yet read the BibleWhich says exactly the same thing, unless you read it like a historical document like a midwit.> Just meditate or prayWhich leads to the same conclusion, unless , you actually do not even know wtf you do, and treat it like some daydreaming exercise
>>41329808Imagine there is a god. But he is all alone. True consciousness in this scenario is true nothingness. He is sad. Bored. Angry. Confused. He is just intelligence and consciousness. he cannot die. He is eternity. So he thinks up a world where he can die. Where he can see. Where there are things he can see. He creates all of us in his mind. Imagine consciousness knows no time so he has lived through every single living thing. The reason we suffer and die is because he can’t. He knows that true suffering is living forever like he does. So he gives himself some relief in the eternity. Something to do. That’s all we are. Creepy enough, a lot of ‘ego deaths’ while on psychedelics lead to this conclusion. Different people experiencing this same thing during an ego death.liberation or moksha is litterally impossible
>>41330609The moment you imagine anything, by excluding other-things, that is by definition cannot be God. The abomination in your head, that you define as the product of "imagine there is a god", is NOT God. "Sad" is a thought, an idea, in YOUR head, that exists in duality. The rest of your post is just nonsense, based on the false premise that God "feels" and has ambitions, and not just emanates.
>>41330744how does non dualism deal with the fact that if im god playing with it self or whatever what is moksha
>>41329724you have to learn to read the whole bible symbolically
>>41330749still no answer
>>41330749Moksha (liberation), is a concept, a thought in your head, an idea, a thing. The reason you even think about it, because you REJECT the world you currently see, you JUDGE it "shit" (undesirable), and you want something else, something more. However, by doing so you immediately divide the undivided emanation that is God. You violate the moment, the stream, the "IS", the "I", the experience of existence and perceiving (without objectifying or thinking), the unnameable thing that is when you STOP and just be without any identification. You are "...", in this very moment. However, it is not "..." who is reading these lines, but your made-up "self", John Doe (insert your name). A reduction of the whole, a bolted together mask, made of words and thoughts that you were impressed with by people around you, and crafted by yourself.The reason you fail to grasp this, is because the moment you imagine yourself to be anything other than what is "...", you reduce the wholeness and become a fragment instead of remaining in an undivided state. This includes the often committed mistake of trying to become (or feel being) God, by saying "I AM GOD". The invocation of the very word, or thought, God (or any word) reduces you to a concept that is by its nature a reduction of the whole.Once you realize this, once you experience what I am talking about, you will naturally laugh out loud when you say it out loud: "I AM <JOHN DOE>". You will not be able to keep a straight face.You can never be more. You can never be less. You are whole at this very moment.The act of thinking of gaining ANYTHING by becoming someone or something else, is like cutting a piece off you, throwing it away (becoming miserable), watch it land, say 5 years away (to earn something) and start chasing it so you can experience the utter bliss of becoming whole again when you reach it - until the bliss fades away. Do you keep throwing the "stick" until the grave for momentary blisses?...Is this sanity?
>>41330870ok krishnamurti
>>41330897There was a question from a confused man, I answered based on my experience and understanding. Moksha, liberation, nirvana, success, inner peace, security, "I will be happy when...", are all tumors that most people cling to as if they were holding gold bars. They are not valuable, they are distractions that make you sick and miserable.Do not be fooled. These ideas, these spiritual "riches", are no different from material riches collected or coveted by "wealthy" men. You are blind, unless you realize this.> It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the Kingdom of God.> The kingdom of heaven is at hand.
>>41330934kind of a non sequiter but really how different is medition from just getting high, i would say monks meditating in a monastery are junkies but more clean than drug addicts, i mean there is a reason they mixed drugs in too now and throughout history, are all scriptures just written by high dudes? i know your saying that its always present right here right now always but still thats.... idk the same
Then why can't I experience what I want? I feel I've learned enough about who I am and what I truly want to do with existence. I decide that I as a part of this wholeness of myself now will do other things, but they don't happen. I want them so much but don't understand what's holding me back. I fully know that in my total existence I will experience these desires, but why not know? I hate being in the material world so much and I know with my heart and soul it is just one of the many potentials of existence. I do affirmations and sessions and meditations and all sorts. But what more is there to learn? What exactly am I holding on to I don't get it.What's the point of being god/experiencing myself when I seem to be giving myself such a limited range of experiences, and even whilst knowing this I can't seem to change them
>>41327665Christ came to deliver the true, living will of God, at the expense of torture and death. Christ doesn't damn anyone: They damn themselves. You can only push away the light so long before the light leaves you alone.That's the true horror of hell. It's not endless torture ordained by God. It's your soul choosing to depart to a place devoid of His light.
>>41325495>>41325596Before anything, disregard anything Christians say, such as this retard. They are little hive-minded golems repetitively derailing everything that doesn't go accordingly with their psyop. And a very basic, old and easily avoidable psyop at that. >mind = individual psyche, Microcosmos>Mind = the whole of existence and potential, Macrocosmos>Wait, it's all me experiencing myself?Not necessarily. The Mind is the whole. What you call "yourself" is actually a mechanism of your mind. The Mind is experienced by every conscious being, through their minds, and every inanimate being is a construct of this very mind and every underlying prototype of everything that exists or will exist or have existed. So, it's extremely vast. The sensation that everything IS yourself or at least part of yourself is a common misconception. It's more about the concept of representation. Your mind is a representation of the Mind. Your ego (the "myself"), on the other hand, is something else. It's a dude that lives within your personal mind (a representation of the Mind) trying to grasp the Mind, an overworked manager trying to keep small things in order while also accessing (through consciousness alteration/expansion/getting high AF) the representation of the Mind. The microcosmos is a representation of the macrocosmos, the mind is a representation of the Mind. And the ego, within the microcosmos, opens it's eyes for the microcosmos that surrounds it and travels within it, while also exploring the microcosmos (because the microcosmos/personal mind is a representation of the macrocosmos/cosmic mind). So, the ego is unique (yourself), while your mind is a representation of all existence. So your eyes, your impressions, are all parts of the uniqueness of your ego, while the representations are universal. Your (altered) perception reflects this vast reality beyond common cognition.
>>41330973God Bless my brother in ChristWhy we need Jesus Christ:When a Christian says you are going to hell unless you believe its not meant to be demeaning or insulting, nor is it meant to portray themselves as better or even as Saints. In fact its quite the opposite.Its a display of compassion that they care for what happens to you. It is meant to tell you that we ALL are sinners, no matter how small, and no matter how small the sin is it is grounds for damnation.>For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. In fact God wouldnt even need a reason to send us into oblivion if he desires to, we are his regardless and he can do as he pleases>One of you will say to me, “Then why does God still find fault? For who can resist His will?” 20But who are you, O man, to talk back to God? Shall what is formed say to Him who formed it, “Why have you made me like this?”g 21Does not the potter have the right to make from the same lump of clay one vessel for special occasions and another for common use?>What if God, intending to show His wrath and make His power known, bore with great patience the vessels of His wrath, prepared for destruction? 23What if He did this to make the riches of His glory known to the vessels of His mercy, whom He prepared in advance for gloryHowever it is because he loves us, despite our faults and errors, our blasphemies and aggression against him, that our existence can still be justified, through Gods love and mercy. Without this EVERY Christian would be just as damned.This is the great difference between believers and non believers, as we realized our faults and admit them and try to overcome them instead of masking them as "natural" or "normal" and indulge ourselves into it further. All God desires is that we recognize and choose the truth, that is Jesus Christ, over the lie no matter how comforting the lie is.Choose good over evil by choosing to follow Christ and accept his salvation
>>41330950Psychedelics are valuable because they almost guarantee that completely non-religious or non-spiritual people will connect with the divine - and with little or no effort. That is a massive difference compared to most meditation practices.However, while getting high on psychedelics might let you experience the other side, or glimpse your own godlike nature, it is a short-lived experience. A glimpse. A taste of the divine. Most will not be able to put it into words, not even for themselves, let alone for others. But they will *know*.The real issue is not the drug itself. It is that most people come to believe the only way back to that state is through the drug. Days or weeks after the effects wear off, they find themselves miserable again. Then they use again - though the accompanying physical discomfort usually prevents frequent use. Years can pass exploring the "psyspace", hoping for something to finally "click", but it never does. Psychedelics - pardon this overused example - are the finger pointing at the moon, yet people, lacking awareness, keep staring at the finger. >picrelI have no idea what actual monks do when they meditate. Maybe they are "stuck". Maybe they are just "clean junkies". Maybe they influence their own "stream" somehow. I do not know. I have never met a monk or a novice from a monastery. What I know is that we definitely romanticize and mystify their "profession". As for the kind of "meditation" the general public practices, most approach it like daydreaming or a tool to escape what they cannot stand in their "waking" state. Truly, they cannot stand their habitual thoughts and resulting feelings due to the erroneous perspective of the "self".cont...
>>41331164...(2/2)Scripture, to me, is mostly psychological drama - a guide to faith, which is mostly the elimination of fear. It struck me while reading the OT. I found myself getting frustrated by the Jews' stupidity, betraying God again and again, suffering the consequences, then begging for mercy every single time after doing fine for decades. On and on it went. Then it hit me: Fuck me, this is me. This is my own struggle with bad habits and addictions. Just like they betrayed God after a long streak, I kept betraying myself after long "clean" stretches, just to forgive myself and start over. From that realization on, I started reading the OT and NT from that angle.> its always present right here right now always but still thats.... idk the sameIt is not the same. One lasts only as long as the drug’s influence. The other becomes your natural state, with practice(!) and awareness. You are forming a new habit of being. The effect is not the same, but similar: being without anxiety, fear, lack, self-hurt, etc. and experiencing love and holiness even in the mundane.

>>41325495Matter is frozen light. Light and shadow forms reality. Before you were born you were a unconscious thoughtform formed by the relationship between your parents. Then when you are born there is influence from the planets and the zodiac, which forms your astral body. The astral body descends into the physical and subtle bodies of the baby, forming a personality. Reincarnation only happens during your lifetime, not before, and not after it. It manifests in the form of deja vus, which happens when you reload a save file. After your physical body dies, the subtle body rots near its tomb. If there is some debt in life, the subtle body turns into a ghost. The astral body goes back to the stars, and the causal body (which was formed by initiation, and feed by experience) goes to the white island. Each individual have its own universe. You are not interacting with me, but with a projection of me. These projections are npcs, and these do reincarnate, but always in the same time and space, repeating the same life over and over again. I'm the only protagonist in my universe, because I'm the observer, and I acknowledge my copies.

>>41325495yes you are alone. but not as a person-they’re just a thing you like to dream you are sometimes. try to remember who you actually are, and how things were before this particular dream began.
>>41339469Wait, it's all me experiencing myself?
>>41325495It's incredible how many people will have direct experience of ego death and then their takeaway from that experience is all about I and me. What I and you? The "I" that you and I are speaking from right now is part of the dream itself. Makes me think psychedelics might really be worse than useless, yeeting someone from 0 to 100 without any structure to contextualize their experience doesn't seem to have a great track record
>>41339915yeah but "I" am god
>>41339923I mean who knows, people have different experiences on psychedelics. Maybe it's filtered through your personal psychology, I think that's likely even. But I certainly never had any indication that the "I" lasts beyond death or is particularly important. We're just masks temporarily being worn by God (if you want to call it that) in a game with no stakes.
>>41325495Been through that. EXACTLY that, I mean, about a year ago when I downed 43g of magic truffles. Here is my take:We are all conscious, we are all codependent but each of us is disticnt. Why? Because I do not remember anything before being born. I do not even remember being born at all. So there is no way I am an independent being since there is a reactive world that is able to surprise me (even when I downed all those truffles there were certain things able to surprise me, even if my intuition was over 2000 and I was able to predict most things) So, my man, good news are: We are all in this together. If you are feelign void and like nothing has meaning right now (this happened to me) Is because you just became aware of your self. Not in an intelectual way, you REALLY became aware of your self, the center of your being observing the experience of your life, I mean. And I got some pretty fucking crazy vertigo out of it and felt void for months. So my two pennies on this: Help others. Be as compassionate as you can. The more good and helpfull you are with those that suffer more, the more meaning you will be able to take hold of and things will stabilize. Stay calm and breathe, things will never go back to normal, but they will go back to being good. A great hug and love, from me to you, my friend.
