...
Nullius, i went through your post several times, but i could not extract any sense out of it
I don't even know why you're highlighting the quote "ego death" and by no means refer to that in your answer in any logical way.
I think you may reveal to which concept of "ego" (psychological, religious or philosophical) you even refer to.
Then you mix up old quotes, with no contextual connection, just to reveal... (exactly, what?)
And this, my friend, is a perfect example of a "strong ego" (quoted JJG), in fact it seems even
overpowered.
It's producing buildings full of theories that seek prove through itself. The psychologists call this projection, the yogi call it "the law of attraction".
You seemt to be perfectly being fooled by your brilliant, intelligent mind which forms the model of the
religious ego.
Now, when i take the output of my "mind", it's not functioning different in any way, but i got AWARE of the process. I got aware through meditation and, most important, through my beforementioned
ego death experience. It's the absence of all thought, judgement and identity. Only observing the peaceful, quiet
nothing. Being aware that
you are, but not
who/what you are. If i'd be really believe in christianity, i'd call it
the soul, i guess. But that's just a NAME for an IDEA.
What could be more atheistic than that?
Let that sink in, even just
try to ignore your reactive thought chatter after reading this and try to answer in a contextual way.
You believe in your judgements, right?
I accept that. But how can you PROVE that what you think is REAL? (-EDIT- or:
valid for everybody)
See, you can't, even if you try as hard AF.
Because it's only
your individual reality.
To go on: You are believing your reality.
And we both have to agree that we don't believe that REALITY is created by some superpower, god, jehowa, allah or bender rodriguez,
we definitely are both atheists.
So what's the fucking fuzz all about?If everything i did was hurting you in your pride (aka. EGO), i feel sorry for that. So please forgive me (again, iirc)!
If you can't, i won't make it my problem, cause it's yours. Thanks
On topic: bitcoin is going over $100k, ...or it's not.
EDIT2: I see the corn over $16k again.

I have to leave, spend the rest of the day trying to FEEL more than THINKING. Never did any harm to me.
