Or maybe it's about realizing your creator is a billion times vaster than you are so you have no right to doubt or hate yourself.

Nobody worries about those things. They just think they do because they are ignorant of the real underlying source and cause of the worry. So they bla...

Or maybe they became more firm in the truth.
August 07, 2021 at 19:39
Or maybe neurotransmitter levels are affected by moods.
August 07, 2021 at 19:33
It was already shared by Lao Tzu 3000 years ago. Modern people are becoming more ignorant haha
August 07, 2021 at 19:28
Or maybe I just think longer and deeper.
August 07, 2021 at 19:26
Sure. The more perspectives and knowledge on the subject the better. But that does not invalidate mine. Also maybe mine is better, and all the others ...
August 07, 2021 at 19:23
Now your confusing belief and mind. So again, I repeat, learn all the distinct definitions so you can separate all the terms properly.
August 07, 2021 at 19:13
Sure, but belief and consciousness are two different things.
August 07, 2021 at 19:05
The strength and duration of the fear doesn't change the fact that it is still fear and not anxiety.
August 07, 2021 at 19:04
Then give a definition for each term that makes it unique from each other term.
August 07, 2021 at 19:01
Not everything has to be complicated to be true. Also deeper explanations can be requested and given.
August 07, 2021 at 18:54
Fear and anxiety are two different things. Otherwise why have two different words? Fear is a natural response to prediction of external harm. Anxiety ...
August 07, 2021 at 18:53
Right and wrong Good and bad Good and evil Are three totally different things. Although related.
August 07, 2021 at 18:43
That's fear not anxiety. Fear of loss, fear of harm, etc... Fear is helpful. Anxiety is caused by your irrational self doubt and self hate related to ...

The more alike two beings are the easier communication will be.
August 07, 2021 at 18:32
Radio doesn't pick up sound waves. It picks up patterns of electromagnetic radiation and converts them into sound waves. Neither of which are consciou...

Or maybe its nothing but a pointer to the true nature of consciousness.
August 07, 2021 at 18:21
Is consciousness in the body? Or is the body in consciousness?
August 07, 2021 at 18:20
Perception, intelligence, mind, consciousness, conscience, senses, experience, beliefs, brain, are all different things. Don't mix them up.
August 07, 2021 at 18:14
The body does not survive consciousness. Is what I said and what I meant.
August 07, 2021 at 18:14
Evil has benefits in the short term. Drawbacks in the long term. Take more spacetime into account and being good has more benefits most of the time. T...

Maybe the Tao Te Ching is a recipe for meat pie. lol
August 07, 2021 at 17:54
Well there is benefits and drawbacks to cooperation and competition. Society now considerers slavery to have more drawbacks then benefits.
August 07, 2021 at 17:53
It's art. Creatively sticking words together. :joke:
August 07, 2021 at 17:51
All communication predicates shared memories. Two beings that are nothing alike can never communicate. One of them just saying hello might murder the ...
August 07, 2021 at 17:48
It's just sticking two words together. Like orange blue.
August 07, 2021 at 17:46
Describing is the main thing he does in the Tao. He describes the Tao, which is consciousness.
August 07, 2021 at 17:44
With form (creation) comes opposites: up down left right good bad
August 07, 2021 at 17:35
You're talking about perception and intelligence not consciousness. Those are facets of and in consciousness not consciousness itself. If a lifeform h...
August 07, 2021 at 17:30
The opposite of belief is experience. and a description of something is not a belief about it.
August 07, 2021 at 17:25
The when orange into it begone Thursday clock up language hot. meaningless Hot things are cold. contradiction
August 07, 2021 at 17:24
It's the opposite of that. He is pointing to something beyond the mind, and instead of looking and seeing you are getting lost in thought about the po...
August 07, 2021 at 17:15
Original = different, and difference from others can increase self doubt. So that quote just proves my original point.
August 07, 2021 at 17:12
Consciousness is omnipresent. Problem is you just don't realize the true nature of consciousness. So then you don't realize he is talking about it. Co...
August 07, 2021 at 17:00
He is describing consciousness. And he is solving the hard problem of consciousness that plagues modern neuroscience (which used to be called the mind...
August 07, 2021 at 16:49
So you didn't really explain anything. Or you simply displayed what "explanations" really are. They are nothing but pointers to experiences. and the e...
August 07, 2021 at 16:30
Intelligence doesn't exist The mind is nothing but a map of the territory. A map of high capacity and accuracy is said to be more "intelligent". The m...
August 07, 2021 at 16:29
No it's not. You only think it is because you don't know what its talking about. Because you have not experienced it, or recognized your experience of...
August 07, 2021 at 16:24
You just proved my point. You tried to explain the taste of honey using other shared experiences. I still don't know what honey taste like. When I tas...
August 07, 2021 at 16:22
I'm inside your solipsism.
August 07, 2021 at 16:21
Try to explain the taste of honey to someone who has never tasted it and realize its impossible and nothing can be explained, for all "explanations" a...

Have no expectations and receive no disappointments.
August 07, 2021 at 15:43
That is how you see it. Unfortunately your thinking and your seeing is not in alignment.
August 07, 2021 at 15:42
There is only one objective reality. Math is the same for everyone. Feelings are different.
August 07, 2021 at 15:41
The mind is nothing but a map of the territory. Creating a map of something unknown does not make it known. It merely copies it so we can use it.
August 07, 2021 at 15:40
"If you can't explain it to a 12 year old you still don't understand it."
August 07, 2021 at 15:38
Self reflection and self responsibility are the opposite of narcissism.
August 07, 2021 at 15:37
No it doesn't. Consciousness and mind are two very different things.
August 07, 2021 at 15:36
No I didn't
