My mailbox is full of hornets, and still I get bills.

I don't like what my automatic text suggestions say about me.

I think that used to be more true than it is, at present, in many places. I've been watching a lot of "investigative" freelance journalists go into some of these areas very heavily populated by homeless folks; LA, Las Vegas, Portland. Many, many of the people say they have had opportunities to get a leg up and do something different, but they no longer buy into society and what it's selling. It's wild, but on some level I definitely get it.
That said - there are also a huge number who befell some unfortunate circumstance and just gave up. That's also very true. They appear in the mini-docs, too.
First off I wouldn't trust a "doc" like that 100% personally, they often have an agenda of their own. But it does say something that anybody prefers to live that way, and I still think it's an issue of mental illness, but it sort of flips to where "society" itself is mentally ill.

Have to watch it again, but I'm thinking AI might be a good one

They're not at odds, science is "proving" nonduality as we speak. I shares a couple articles about this yesterday.

I think the situation in America with homeless people is that they want to be homeless they prefer living that way
It's more a matter of people with mental illness and no support network. Nobody chooses it out of genuine preference.

@Reborn2
For sure. He asked me how woke I really was, so I turned myself into a portal to infinite dimensions of Nirvana & he walked through me and spent 100 eternities there, acquiring the intelligence & wisdom of all beings past & future. When he returned he said only ‘that’s not it’ and I was like damn it.Sounds like you're stuck in nonduality and don't realize there are states way, way beyond it. There's a whole kangaroo porno level you can get to.

Imagine living in so much fear and delusion that you feel like certain people need to be locked up and executed(quickly) for you to feel safe, or creating fantasy relationships out of thin air to project your discordance onto, and pretending the straight jacket is a hug.

Why would identifying with something you aren't, or something that isn't cause suffering? Why would defending an empty house against phantom invaders be anything but pure fun? Why do most gun deaths happen at home with the gun that was intended to protect you?

Science is starting to conclude that there are not seperate selves.

I think space and time are a distinct phenomenon as proved by physics. Oneness with the present moment can be an illusory experience of stillness. Oneness can be felt but not proved.
Actually, it can,

Ok. And if there were unicorns they'd have horns. I guess I don't get the "point" here.

You actually can never not be here and now. Thoughts of the past or future always happen now. You actually can't escape the present moment.

But this assumes that being and perception are 2 distinct "things" or processes. That there is a lag or duality is a thought. In reality there is no lag, or duality.
-
This assumes time and events are separate things from perception, which in a non dual way, is not the case.

@Phil a lot of what you said does resonate pretty hard, but I can't think of anything I was exposed to that would have resulted in this fear. Maybe it was stuff below the surface though, and not having a very strong father figure. Thinking back on it, it felt like a sense of the realness or darkness of the world invading everything about my surroundings that were meant to be keeping it out, in spite of my parents best efforts for me not to be exposed to it. I have thought about the juxtaposition of Neanderthals in a post apocalyptic landscape, but I had the sense they were what humans became after some event due to something like radiation or mutation. The reason it was decidedly post apocalyptic was remnants of civilization around, like a merry-go-round buried in sand that I was hiding behind often it seemed. Mute creatures with clubs that I got the sense would absolutely murder and eat me. There were definitely things that were kept secret from me for a long time, idk if I had some sense of that, or if there's something I don't remember happening or what, but from the outside my childhood was kind of idyllic in most ways.

What do you suspect the different aspects symbolize?
Probably fear of being alone/defenseless.

@Phil at the time it was of both, having had them and maybe having them again.
They were post apocalyptic weirdly. Idk how I had any frame of reference for that but that's what they were. No demons per say, but some kind of giant Neanderthal type post apocalypse humans.
