We think way to highly of ourselves. A human trying to understand the entirely of reality is like a intestinal bacteria trying to understand a human. I think we need to accept our limitations at times.

Does an intestinal bacteria have a burning urge to understand a human?

If reality allowed itself through a human mind to raise the question 'what is reality?' then didn't allow that same mind to realize reality, then its not any reality i'd even want to know about.

No, but is a humans urge to understand higher realities equally empty? We are so limited by our conceptions and space-time thinking.

Yeah, you can't really understand reality through thoughts, but thought patterns can reflect understanding when your mind is rooted in/as reality

A human being definitely has the ability to understand reality, not as a thing separate from them but as themselves, reality can't be understood objectively because reality must be the subject, so it's good to relax & give up the search for something external that you can define as reality but you can't throw out the baby with the bathwater, the reality of the subject/seer still remains uninvestigated

Saying you can understand reality is a catch 22 as it gives the impression there is two separate things, 'you' and 'reality' so that you can somehow then objectively understand reality, but its not like that, its total intuition, oneness with your Self, and knowledge springs from that, but your not attached to it as your in total peace, peace begets clarity, clarity begets understanding. Peace comes FIRST though, the rest follows.

How so?

If all things are temporary then ultimately there must only remain one presence, and how could you be other than that?

Its very logical :shrug:



All i am saying here is devote yourself to finding peace & the rest will come...

If I've realized anything, then I cannot have realized nothing. And if I have realized nothing, than I cannot have realized anything at all. May as well just keep on doing what I'm doing if nothing is guaranteed.

Do you think there could be something beyond even the subjective experience?

You! even subjective experience like the most subjective experience of 'I' is still a subtle experience, so still an object really, albiet subtle it still has some kind of form to it, you are aware of it so you must already be subtler beyond it.

It's easy to believe in oblivion if we live oblivious lives. The moment we come alive and see what life really is, you realise despite human efforts to demonstrate otherwise, this is all going to be alright. There is no death.

It's not living for Now that creates death and makes it such a strong force. You'll see, if you free your mind from time and other concepts, including 'world' and history, that you sort of go into another world anyway. Every day can be a different world, first subtly, then more and more overtly. So what does death boil down to? Seems I've already passed on...

Just looking around on mushrooms, for me, shows me that there's nothing to worry about. All the pain and horror is part of a mighty being's drama. Let it play its game. It obviously wants to do this. You do your part, do what you think is right.

---

As for understanding, I agree we are limited but should be careful to see if the limits are imposed by what we've been conditioned to believe or what we've discovered for ourselves.

Who said anything about believing in oblivion? I just don't believe anything is guaranteed. Including that it will all be OK. Nothing can be known but what is happening. And it seems like according to most definitions of what is OK, often times what is happening quite sucks.

Like, you guys were talking about death. Isn't that oblivion? That's how I see that idea. You just vanish, like some B-grade fairytale.

I don't know what happens at death. That's why I don't think continuation or absence are necessarily guaranteed. I can certainly pretend to know, but I definitely don't. I can also make an educated guess but it's not going to move beyond being a guess.

That's reasonable.

I'm so against the idea because I think it's a myth that's keep us all down. Most people are afraid of reaching the end the world, or worse, dragons. I'm trying to sail to America.

I mean we've been told so much bullshit. And our lives don't even make sense.

Starting think some of us are just miles ahead of the pack and we should give up any idea of a collective humanity and its destiny and just focus on ourselves. In fact I think this is in full swing within me.

Eh. Man. I need to chill out a bit though.

My mom said to me the other day: I've spent my whole life cleaning teeth because I think I'm doing something useful in the world. But now I don't know. Has it been worth it? I mean, the world isn't going to stop spinning just because people's teeth aren't clean.

What do you think? Has it been worth it?
