Charles Diaz56 said:We are living through truly exhilarating times—an era defined by the most significant evolutionary leap in the history of our species. Following Homo sapiens, the thinking man, evolution is guiding us toward what could be called the Psychozoic era, a stage where humanity transcends into telepathic beings. By deciphering the ancient temporal codes left behind by our ancestors, we can harmonize this ascension of Man and the planet. It is a profound quest for spirituality, a return to natural rhythms, and an awakening to life as a conscious dream, allowing us to finally grasp our divine purpose as multidimensional beings...
Is it lophophora williamsii or hyoscyamus niger? 😁

Perhaps the secret to non-attachment lies precisely in the absurdity of it all—living simply for the sake of living, rather than chasing some grand purpose.
As for sadness, it is an inevitability in this temporal realm we inhabit. It is perfectly natural to feel sorrow when loss is baked into our daily reality, where one life is built upon the passing of another. Rather than fleeing from it, one should simply come to terms with it.
Our little back-and-forth discussions here are just as pointless, yet we persist. 😉 There is an answer buried somewhere in that contradiction, but what good does it do when the "I" keeps popping up? "I want this," or "I feel that." This persistent, annoying "I" constantly insists there is a connection between myself and everything "outside" of me, even though I haven't the slightest clue who I actually am. It's pure madness. 🙂
Last night, I dreamed I was homeless, and once again, I felt that familiar anxiety about where I’d sleep and how I’d survive. No matter how much or how little one possesses, there always seems to be some trivial distraction preventing true freedom of being. It feels like every resistance is futile. If only one could simply let the current take them, wherever it might lead...🤔
If memory serves, Buddha once noted that life is suffering. To eliminate suffering—to achieve liberation—would logically imply eliminating life itself.
I see a few ways this could play out. One method, as someone else pointed out earlier, involves the only philosophical question left worth asking: to be or not to be? However, that isn't a particularly practical solution; if reincarnation is a thing, you simply find yourself back in some other space at some point, starting the cycle all over again. That leaves only one option: discarding life by refusing to let it touch you. Not participating. Becoming a mere observer who remains untouched. A state of total indifference. A silent witness, an invisible presence.
You participate in life only as much as necessary, but you stop expecting, longing, grieving, or celebrating based on external circumstances. You simply exist, having realized the transience and futility of all existence.
From my current perspective, everything is meaningless, fleeting, chaotic, and ultimately absurd. There is no karma, no soul evolution, no spiritual growth—just more childish theories that no longer hold water. They aren't even logically consistent. Consequently, I have temporarily concluded that it is all nonsense. Life is merely a passing whim, like a soap bubble catching the sunlight, creating a deceptive illusion of importance, being, and beauty when, in reality, there is nothing there.
My only regret is this nagging feeling that taking one's own life is somehow wrong; instead, one must wait for the candle to burn down naturally. It is this singular sensation that keeps me here; otherwise, I would have long since departed from this whimsical planet of absurdity.
It seems to me that the greatest obstacle to achieving this state of the untouchable observer is the very instinct for life—the urge to experience and participate. In truth, true existence stands in direct opposition to the desire to live and feel.
Likely, behind all of this sits someone heartless with a terrible sense of humor, laughing at our failed attempts to grasp meaning through intellect.
"Weary of it all, I cry out for the death of stillness."
