spiritual dreams

cuz its scary

y'all are letting Leo live rent free in your heads. I highly doubt he gives enough of a shit to do the same.

This is the album I listen to when doing shadow work. Its amazing

What did he say?

Space exploration. Don't read anything about the game before you play it. Its a mystery game and the whole point of the game is to uncover a huge mystery. It might be the best gaming experience I've ever had but you can only really play it once.

I'm trying to gain 5 kg. can we swap bodies xD

outer wilds!!

Certain beliefs create nonlinear feedback loops.

This is the answer I was looking for. Thanks

I'd say the state where I identify as a human. But if I don't have access to the truth, then the belief that spiritual practice is a path the truth is pretty important. Being influenced by the environment is true both from personal direct experience and scientific studies. When I spend time with materialistically minded people, my beliefs change. The fact that I could know things and have personal beliefs implies the relative as well as states of consciousness. It was a joke. https://www.reddit.com/r/ihadastroke/top/?t=all

Me at least in the relative ego sense. Not really sure how to answer that Personal experience, scientific studies and pretty much any analysis of human psychology. It doesn't make sense.

If the worldview is that spiritual practice is worthwhile then it should probably be defended. People's beliefs are influenced by their environments. Everyone I know and the social media platforms I go on think spiritual practice is bullshit. This definitely has an influence on my beliefs. I thought I was having a stroke when I was reading this...

I wouldn't be doing any self inquiry, meditation spiritual practice etc. if i didn't believe it was worthwile

I mean they kind of are necessary. the belief that spiritual practice is useful and meaningful is pretty important, as is dispelling the belief that reality is made of unconscious mechanical parts.

Both are necessary, but according to rationalist skeptics, only empirical evidence is a way to truth and introspection is just woo woo.

@Phil I guess the main issue is in not being able to fit in with more materialistically minded people and struggling to integrate in such a materialistic society. I find myself being pulled backwards and doubting the spiritual path simply because no one else believes in it and society views me as a crazy person for being spiritual.

@Phil what do you mean?

bruh...

The idea that the heart can be trusted over rationality.

I've been struggling a lot with materialist skeptics like on reddit and rationalwiki. To them nonduality, spirituality and consciousness work is all woo and the only truth is science and rationality. Many of my friends also fall into this category and its pretty depressing. I find myself doubting the spiritual path. How do you deal with materialist attacks on your worldview?

Can you give me any examples?

Ok i'll give that a read. Thanks

I don't understand. can you elaborate on this?

also suffering. its a vicious circle.
