I have mixed them up before but I corrected this a couple weeks ago, I believe.

yes, consciousness works. Conscious does not. I suspect that you thought you were saying Conscience because the two words sound similar.

All I'm saying is that I didn't get my knowledge from other sources like Buddhism or Wikipedia, I obtained it within myself.  Sure I've read stuff about this things throughout my life (except not Buddhism until after), but I never connected the dots until I explored my mind to find answers.

Yes, but they are both thoughts.

Kentrolla, perhaps I meant consciousness, my mistake.  I looked up what conscience meant, again, to make sure, and I think I'm referring to the consciousness we posses.  Correct me if this is wrong.

oh come on. you won't even admit that you were using the word "conscious" wrong.  There is no such thing as "your conscious."   That's like saying "it takes much 'work' to read into your awake."

conscious is the opposite of unconscious.
conscience is something you possess.


this is pretty simple. You can see how the two words are used in a sentence if you want. The way you are using it is wrong in the English language and it makes you sound stupid. If this can't get through to you then idk what will.

You are using the wrong word.

As someone who's really, really interested in the recent developments in BCIs, pray tell, how does one learn otherwise right now?

I mean, I know you think we're all constructs in your mind's eye or something, but do you hear yourself speak?


There's one hell of a difference between an internal monologue and an internal dialogue...

You can meditate with or without thought.  If you are connected enough and you ask why, you may just get an answer.  You don't have any clue how many times I've over thought things for the worse in my life, I think plenty, thanks.

...and what are thoughts but voices in our head?

I don't think so, I'm talking about the spiritual energy that you are consciously aware with.

i think you're using the word "conscious" wrong. I think the word you are looking for is "conscience."
Please don't try to change the definition of these words in order to make it seem like you weren't wrong.

So you prefer not to think and just go with the voices in your head, eh? 

What you don't realize is that I learned everything I know, myself, through life experiences.  I learned about Buddhism afterwards, and I think it's the closest a religion can get to spirituality, next to Hinduism.

Pure spirituality, to me, would be forming your own beliefs on the universe from the inside, not outside.  If you're truly searching your conscious, you will find the same truths that many others have.  Religion is based on this knowledge, but often highly perverted.

I found this knowledge within myself, I have quite literally been told advice, through thought, from my conscious.  In fact we all do, thoughts from either our ego or conscious and they all happen for a reason.  As you explore it more, you can learn more about it, all it takes is deep thought (or, even better, no thought) with your conscious rather than your ego.

For someone who's been "meditating for years" you seem to have an awful lot of attachment to desire left.


Do you honestly believe that nobody in this thread has been attracted to similar philosophies in the past?  The whole thing about philosophies is that they're frameworks - they're not "true" or "false" or "real" or "not real", they're constructs or models.  

As far as your spiritual beliefs go, do you really think that nobody in this thread has ever heard of Buddhism or Jung?  There is nothing unique about your particular belief system.  You're assuming that people who don't believe the same as you do have never examined similar beliefs to yours.  Just as you reject other belief systems, not everyone is going to find your belief system convincing.

The Akashic Records are a Hindu belief, while other things you've mentioned have their foundation in Buddhism.  Sounds like you're picking and choosing from different belief systems and creating an incoherent patchwork.


I have a son who tested very high as a child - it became an incredible burden throughout his school life because many teachers wanted him to be their pet prodigy and push him in a specific direction.  The gap between his social and emotional development and his intellect also caused him a lot of problems.  For the record, the methods for testing IQ in children don't translate to adulthood.  A child who scores 160 on an IQ test won't necessarily test that high as an adult.

Yes.

Hense, why I put quotations around it, Rarity.

I've never been diagnosed with any disorder and I've never taken meds (accept good old mary jane)!  I did have a depression in my life, and a little anxiety growing up at times, but I cured those myself, with my mind.  Your problems are only manifested because you believe them to exist.  Your problems are in your head.

Dank does not need any of those fraudulent Psychiatric poisons in his mind.  The recreational drug use has already done some damage and any more would be a tragedy. Taking psychotropic drugs can cause irreversible setbacks in a person's life.

Huh?  I think a lot of people doubt that.  

EDIT: Granted, I do agree that the kid has a few different mental disorders that ought to be addressed.  And with such disorders under control, he may be functional enough to not need family and government assistance throughout his life. 

Dank, all joking aside, I really want you to consider going back onto your meds.  Bipolar Disorder and Depression are honestly nothing to be embarrassed about.  Your brain just doesn't produce the right chemicals on its own.  That's okay though!  I have an anxiety disorder myself.  And so long as I take my meds, my life is pretty great.  Without them I can't leave my apartment.

You're clearly a smart guy, No one really doubts that.  I really believe you can be successful if you're at your best.  Your meds will help you be at your best.  And with the advances in modern medicine the side effects are much much more mild than they used to be.

I mean, if you had diabetes, you'd take insulin injections, right?  This is the exact same thing.  I know your parents would be happy to pay for your treatment, if you're concerned about the costs.  Remember Dank, the strongest man is the one able to ask for help.

Better yet, where will he find the financing?

MOAR CRACKPOT PROJECT LOAN REQUESTS, FUCKING YES! YES!

I'm kind of impressed that Dank hasn't gotten run over by his own car yet while pushing it up a hill after running out of gas.  You know this kind of stupidity is not long for this world without some kind of parental supervision. 

If you're doing it right, meditation isn't work.


Where will it be held?  I need to make travel and accommodation arrangements.  With so many people coming, more than at Woodstock possibly, space is going to fill up quickly.  I want to get ahead of the rush.  I'm going to be bussing in a large number of people from my spiritual group as well who are big fans and I really need to get the planning started now. 

Sooo... If I meditate hard enough, I can access the knowledge of everything via the consciousness of others?

That's not accurate at all, it takes much 'work' to read into your conscious, I've been meditating for years.
