God’s definitely on the side of the wealthy.

So, I was just sitting here thinking about everything going on lately, and man, it really looks like the Democratic Party is finally doing some serious housecleaning, isn't it? It feels like they're finally sweeping out the old guard and getting things organized for once. Honestly, who doesn't love a good fresh start when things have been feeling a bit messy? It makes you wonder if this is actually the turning point we've all been waiting for, or just another temporary shakeup, but hey, I’m staying optimistic! It's kind of refreshing to see them actually trying to clear the air, don't you think?
So, it looks like the Republican Party is finally doing some serious housecleaning... honestly, who would've thought we'd see that happening? It feels like they're just sweeping everything away at this point, isn't it? Just total cleanup mode over there!
So, I guess the chaos finally made its way over to this corner of the internet too, huh? It feels like everywhere you turn lately, there’s just some new crowd showing up to stir things up... honestly, does any corner of the web actually stay quiet for more than five minutes? Probably not!

So, I was just sitting here wondering, which forum is actually stepping up to play the role of the Void these days? It’s kind of wild when you think about it, right? Like, who's even filling that empty space anymore?☕

boldsailor2 is totally hitting the nail on the head here.

If you want some advice from someone who’s actually been there... just grab some bacon, maybe an onion or two, and a shot of good bourbon... that should get you feeling steady again, right?🙂
But hey, if you're looking to really kick things into high gear and go from zero to sixty: go for a thick, bloody steak or some lamb.

So, where would you even go?

electricdrifter68 said:Who, Smiley? I'm totally with you on that one!

No way, Seb, seriously... if you even have a clue?
If you do... or maybe you don't?😉

I'm totally lost here... someone please enlighten me!

Douglas Brown4 said:Reality. I've seen people obsessed with Buddha. Just like I've seen people following Gurdjieff and all that fourth way crap.

Well, not everyone in America drives a Ford either. Only certain people.😁

True. But I guess every amateur gets into Buddha and Gurdjieff, only to act all "spiritual" later and hold a grudge against me for years just because I don't do anything yet I have everything.

Some people are just born successful...
Some are born total failures...
Some are born alcoholics...
Some are born losers...
Some are born promiscuous...
Some are born men...
Some are born women...
Some are born spiritual prostitutes...
Some are born "spiritual seekers"...

But there's only ever one President of the United States, right?
Only one Prime Minister, if we're looking at other places...
There are only maybe four or five political parties that actually make it past the threshold...
And there are only a handful of bishops or pastors, even when there are millions of sheep in the pews...

In our own heads and imaginations, though, we can be absolutely anything we want to be.
Hey, daydreaming with your eyes wide open doesn't cost a dime!😉

I wonder if I'll ever become... well, what even is this...

"That machine is totally inefficient. I saw it in action over at John Doe's place in Reality."

Wait, what even is Reality?

I mean, obviously it’s not efficient, right? It’s just not for everyone. Like, 99% of people actually crave that whole duality thing—they suffer through it and honestly, they kind of love wallowing in it like pigs in the mud. I guess we're all just made of clay or something, huh?
The Buddha masters are only meant for that tiny 1% of us. Just for a select few... though, if you ask me, there are at least six other ways to get there for those in that 1% club...

Even a Ford isn't something everyone drives here in the States. Only certain people, you know?😁

Duality is basically just horizontal movement. It’s this constant, endless blending happening along a flat plane where one thought just chases the next in a never-ending loop, right? Every single argument eventually bumps into its own counter-argument, creating this infinite cycle.
The second you manage to block that entire process—just cut through the knot—consciousness hits a standstill, and voila! We find ourselves right in the middle of singularity.
Since consciousness is inherently dualistic—you know, that whole split-mind or rationalist way of thinking—it just can't actually inhabit that state.
So, we're looking at two distinct states here: by blocking the rational mind, you clear a path straight into singularity. But then, once that singularity fades, consciousness just "reboots" and we're right back where we started...
For people who aren't quite "ready" for it, singularity feels a lot like "non-consciousness."
A Koan is essentially a machine, a specific procedure or a way to dismantle consciousness so you can finally land in that state of non-consciousness.😬

The Moderator is basically like a Zen Koan. They just wipe away the present moment. A total Deus ex machina.
Can we maybe start a new topic?🙂
