I had an arousing suspicion this was happening. Figures.

Right, depression never hurt my ego, weed didn't reduce my ego and love never killed my ego.

Thanks, Snaer, nice to hear your perspective.

Rarity, it's really none of your business and you've exceeded your 1 post daily quota. I thought I had your word?

If they wanted me to know something, they would have told me. Sure, I was curious at first, but I'm just grateful of it, perhaps I will one day find out, doesn't matter to me.

Yes, words only have meaning based on what we give them. But words can still have meaning and the ability to transfer energy, as words are sound frequencies. What exactly are you suggesting your chart proves? It could be a 2D graph and there would still be infinite points of possibility.

Pm'd.  |

But you're using a chart to describe philosophy, I think words more effectively convey ideas, in this case.

Well, space is also an illusion of our reality, so I don't know what exactly to say to that. Debating spirituality with science doesn't really work, on either end.

Perhaps, but there is no light source in the sky to be producing colorful patterns.

Now, 20 years later, I'm slowly starting to realise the reason for them being silent = one can't truly help anyone but himself only.
I witness that myself more and more as time goes by. I can help and others can help me, but only with actualy unimportant matter.
This is very much true, although I believe one may help one help them self, if they're in the proper receptive state. |

There we are, the same stuff I talk about, except I use words such as consciousness, rather than Shiva, God, rather than Brahman, and ego, rather than Atman.
You're missing the point. In Hinduism the focus is on work as a way of becoming worthy of enlightenment and you only become "worthy" of enlightenment if your perform your dharmas first. Hindus regard putting seeking enlightenment before earthly concerns as escapism which will trap you in the karmic cycle. Buddhism puts a higher value on enlightenment than on earthly concerns, but Buddhists emphatically reject the notions of transmigration of the soul and any kind of creationism (ie, the existence of a supreme being which set the Universe/existence in motion). Can you please define work with Hindi words? I cannot find any information saying you must get a job before enlightening yourself, if that's the kind of work you're referring to. Otherwise, it seems you're saying you must do rather than do not doing to find enlightenment, which is true. No supreme being set the universe in motion, the universe is that supreme 'being.' |

You also may just be stuck in a local maximum (of probability of being right), but have not explored the entire space of possibilities. Other people with different starting points and different paths may be stuck in their own local maxima, the only way to judge which is "right" is if all brains agree (converge) on the same answer, which may take infinite time (so is impossible for mortals). Consciousness trying to understand the universe is just like a huge markov chain monte carlo experiment.
That's the basis of spirituality, finding your own path to find the same truth. In no way is it impossible for our species to become like-minded, time is an illusory boundary. And consciousness grasps itself fine, it's the ego that's in need of lessons. |

Repentance, that's because Hinduism is also based off what they learned through their consciousness.
I don't think you understand Hinduism very well. If you did, you'd be spending all of your waking hours performing your dharmas. You're right, I've never studied it more than a couple of the gods. Let me look up the basic beliefs. The three-in-one god known as “Brahman,” which is composed of: Brahma (the creator), Vishnu (the Preserver), and Shiva (the Destroyer).
The Caste System.
Karma. The law that good begets good, and bad begets bad. Every action, thought, or decision one makes has consequences – good or bad – that will return to each person in the present life, or in one yet to come.
Reincarnation. Also known as “transmigration of souls,” or “samsara.” This is a journey on the “circle of life,” where each person experiences as series of physical births, deaths, and rebirths. With good karma, a person can be reborn into a higher caste, or even to godhood. Bad karma can relegate one to a lower caste, or even to life as an animal in their next life.
Nirvana. This is the goal of the Hindu. Nirvana is the release of the soul from the seemingly endless cycle of rebirths. There we are, the same stuff I talk about, except I use words such as consciousness, rather than Shiva, God, rather than Brahman, and ego, rather than Atman. |

It's like having more police because some people got robbed. The only way to prevent scams is to make people realize nothing good comes out of it, with the force of karma at role. Would you steal from somebody if you knew karma would have the last say?
The only way would be to raise the awareness of those tempted by greed, to reach the realization that acting out of your ego only causes more pain, even if it alludes you to thinking you're helping yourself.

But I've figured much out.

That's because you think with your ego. We still share a soul.
Souls do not exist. What you call your soul is simply chemical reactions as your brain responds to input from your senses. Of course, mind altering drugs also increase the feeling of having a soul. Scientific fact. That is not what I call a soul. Yes, we have plenty of drugs in our brain that respond to our senses. We also have a soul, as our consciousness. Perhaps some mind altering drugs, such as cannabis, connect you to your soul. Repentance, that's because Hinduism is also based off what they learned through their consciousness. |
