Active Consciousness Development

And what a wonderful thing nimbleranger5 did here 🙂 👍

👏 joining in on the applause here... nimbleranger5 really nailed this one with such a thoughtful post

Personally, I don't consider myself particularly spiritual—in fact, I'm basically the poster child for being non-spiritual. 😁 I don't even know what all that stuff is supposed to mean because I have no desire to be a slave to various concepts invented by the human mind just to follow some technique, a system, or a specific path... Life is alive, it's jumpy, it's pervasive and all-encompassing. You can't just shove it into a box labeled "concept," "doctrine," or "dogma" the way so-called spirituality, philosophy, religion, or even science tries to do.

I'm not sure why you feel like accepting the concept of karma constitutes some sort of injustice. No one here is belittling or looking down on anyone, nor is anyone mocking people or gloating at someone else's expense. 🤷

Besides, Life cannot be ended. It is indestructible. It always simply *is*...

Death is the ultimate lie, a trick of the mind, a total illusion. Even though this material body is part of us, on a deeper level, we aren't this body. And death isn't the opposite of Life. It's actually an integral part of Life, just like birth is. The opposite of death is birth, but Life has no opposite because it encompasses everything. Life pulses constantly, in different forms and frequencies, and it doesn't just happen on a physical level.

We don't count the rotten apples; we count the amount of rot they create.

See, this is what I call overthinking—or "philosophizing," as the old saying goes:

"It's not a mess; the dog just made a disaster." 😁

Haha hehe 🤣 don't get too worked up—just relax. This is just an ordinary forum, after all. Don't take everything so seriously, especially those other virtual characters drifting through these digital spaces. Like that great teacher once said: don't worry, be happy 🙂

And with all these questions coming at you... you seem to think you're going "deep," but you're really just spreading yourself thin. It’s not depth—it's just spinning in circles, over and over, and over, and... 🙂

I commented and asked, but there's no answer anywhere. Does that mean nobody knows how to actually argue their point?

Who is it looking for answers and calling people out? Who is craving arguments? Your ego... and why? Just to confirm your own old beliefs that you're the smart one and everyone else is just some clueless person typing away without any logic? But providing actual arguments is hard—either you get it or you don't—which just adds more clutter to the topic. Probably just boredom, which is the craftiest way humans run away from themselves...

By the way, something else caught my eye in that story about the shoe clerk:

"(Otherwise, she's a wife, a mother of three, the head of accounting at a university and all that... but that clerk didn't know... that she was someone who could be 'trusted')"

So the person you described is incapable of lying or betraying someone...?
An accounting manager and a married woman is just automatically trusted? Auj aj

Let me try to clarify this, because it seemed like you were advocating for trusting people in your first post, and this doesn't fit at all.
Basically, it's selective trust based on marriage, motherhood, social status...

It sounds like life is pretty fun for you—just like it is for me—when you have enough time to spend dissecting things like this 😬

You're overthinking the little things way too much. You're dissecting sentences—who cares about quotation marks here or a comma there? You dive into tiny details, obsessively trying to find a flaw or a mistake, just to tear someone down so you can feel good about yourself because nobody can sell you any "stories"... man, oh man 😁

I agree with what was written... beautifully explained.👍

Exactly.😉

But then again, if people didn't ask questions... this whole topic would have dried up much sooner, so I'm at least grateful for that. Plus, then the supporters chime in, and I get to feel that love through their supportive words! Which is the best part of all!
And besides, diving into this helps me crystallize my own thoughts a bit better!

Yeah, I agree with this too—I'm starting to bore myself... booooooooorrrriiiinggg... hehe

Why are you getting defensive? I never mentioned disparagement or anything of the sort—that’s just you projecting.

I was discussing the concept of the victim's free will (translated into the soul), which serves to explain a horrific event.

I call this kind of thing "acting smart," or rather "philosophizing," because as they say in plain American English:

"It isn't a mess; the dog just made one." 😁

Well, aren't you just the picture of politeness. By the way, you've completely missed the point of what was actually written, so since you were so "kind" enough to say well then, adios.....

That wasn't me trying to be clever; it was a blatant fact.
It's about the ratio of "corrupt" individuals versus "good" ones. The raw number of people doesn't matter nearly as much as the actual volume of corruption or goodness that each individual produces. You can't just set them as equal.

Who is it that's looking for answers and calling others out, who is it that demands arguments... it's your ego... and why?... to validate your own belief that you're brilliant and everyone else is just some idiot writing about things without having a single reasoned argument to back it up...

Go ahead, keep having this lovely little conversation with yourself—just question and answer, 😁

You're obsessing over trivialities, dissecting sentences, who cares about quotation marks here or there, periods, commas... you're diving into details excessively, persistently trying to find some flaw, some error, to tear someone down just so you can feel superior because nobody can sell you any "stories"... good grief. 😁

Bush, who cares about the actual meaning of what was written, right? 🙄

Sorry, I don't feel like responding to a separate post; speculating about the author carries more weight than the content itself.

Well, enough of that... I'm pivoting to Transurfing now.

There’s a certain brilliance to this track—it’s pure energy. It relies entirely on a standard kit of drums and percussion, layered with the deep, resonant tones of the didgeridoo. That ancient instrument really pulls you in, opening up a connection to the spiritual realm and that vast, primal essence we all share.
