No one is free during a virus pandemic folks, stop whining like a baby and accept your life as a human being.

Until you CAN STICK TO THE ACTUAL POINT of the discussion, I suggest you just FUCK OFF and stop being a moron on my threads.

Virus aside, we all have needs; to eat, to stay warm, to get shelter, to have companionship, and purpose.Dontaskme wrote: ↑Mon Oct 26, 2020 9:15 am For all those who feel like their freedoms are being taken away by the restrictions imposed upon you because of the effects of this new virus covid 19 has on the body need to wake up to the stark reality..you have no freedom, you've never had freedom.
If you think you are free, you are living in a delusional reality. Freedom is just another meaningless worthless arbitary sourceless idea, another fictional fantasy.
If you have knowledge you are alive, you are forever trapped in yourself, there is no escape from that self imposed prison because you will defend that self at all cost.
All of these things alone, or together mean we cannot be free of want and need.
Decent people would help us all together to achieve these things for ourselves and others - the ONLY root to freedom is by this co-operation.
Paradoxically the ones who shout FREEDOM the most are the ones who support the political ideologies that would deny these basic rights to others.
You know who you are.
Re: Natural death causing viruses prove that humans are never free
Yes, I agree, this is the point I'm trying to get at, which is while we are living as a human being, we have no freedom, not the freedom we think we have in the sense we have to abide by the laws our elected leaders put in place for the good of the whole, we can't just say well I'm not doing that, no, we all have to work together, we all have to have our eyes looking in the same direction. I think that is why China is probably the most sucessful country in the world economically. They invest in profound efficiency ruling with an iron fist, which is not a bad thing, they have adopted a workable strategy that has contributed to a good handling of the corona virus pandemic, much better than in any other country, because the people work as a team, they co-operate for the good of the whole. They do not resist what has and needs to be done together. It's only the over privileged spoilt little egoic westerners that are the problem, they are the ones causing all the trouble, they make it difficult for themselves, when all they have do is obey the system. We have to work to a system else the alternative is chaos.
Very true, and so thank you for your thoughts on this.Sculptor wrote: ↑Tue Oct 27, 2020 12:51 pmDecent people would help us all together to achieve these things for ourselves and others - the ONLY root to freedom is by this co-operation.

Re: Natural death causing viruses prove that humans are never free
Very few Chinese people see an iron fist in action. Quite the reverse. That's the Western media perception. I'd not say it would suit many in the West to follow their example, but a country that size has to take draconian measures to keep it from the sorts of fragmentation that seems inherent in the US, and UK.Dontaskme wrote: ↑Tue Oct 27, 2020 1:55 pm I think that is why China is probably the most sucessful country in the world economically.

China is unique and it would not be the example I had in mind when I considered the idea that the road to freedom from want.

Re: Natural death causing viruses prove that humans are never free
Duh. Humans have freedom in some situations and don’t in others.
Take the trolley problem as an example of both situations.
You, as the switch operator, have the freedom to make a choice regarding which course the trolley takes.
The ones on the tracks face a situation beyond their control. They must face the consequences of your choice.
So, sometimes humans have freedom and sometimes they don’t.

Re: Natural death causing viruses prove that humans are never free
I'm just using the 'iron fist' analogy in the context of China's way of dealing with a health crisis that could possibly destabilise their economy, where they apply a strict, confident, competent and consistent, firm and rigorous way of running things, as apposed to a sloppy half hearted softly softly approach.Sculptor wrote: ↑Tue Oct 27, 2020 2:36 pmVery few Chinese people see an iron fist in action.

To be firm and consistent with our young children is a sign of good management and secures their future survival, rather than to allow them to rule the roost, where they are allowed to run wild, play with sharp knives, drinking alcohol and doing just about anything they want which might cause them serious injuries.
So I'm thinking along the lines of, this is how countries should be run too. We're all just one big human family really, and if we want to survive as a species we need to be good managers of ourselves, else the alternate is destruction, so lets just blast every fucker to kingdom come or something.
Yes I agree. But the poverty part is just more to do with personal wealth, inheritance, and mostly good luck of what family one is born into, it's nothing to do with government policies. Norway will always do well because of their oil wells, they were lucky, they are self sufficient, not dependent on the EU they have an abundance of their own resources especially when it comes to keeping warm during their freezing winters. Unlike in the UK where people practically freeze to death fro m not being able to pay their heating bills.Sculptor wrote: ↑Tue Oct 27, 2020 2:36 pm I'd not say it would suit many in the West to follow their example, but a country that size has to take draconian measures to keep it from the sorts of fragmentation that seems inherent in the US, and UK.

But nothing can ever be free from something because there will always be something else to be free from.
And so going back to my original point, it just annoys me when people start to rebel and protest about their ''freedoms'' being taken away from them just because they are being told to stay at home as much as possible during a virus pandemic etc...the point is, what freedoms are the people talking about, the word doesn't even make any sense to be honest.

No. It's what you do with the wealth, not the amount you have. The Uk is still the fifth largest economy, though far from the fifth in size, yet has more real poverty than smaller poorer countries.Norway will always do well because of their oil wells, they were lucky, they are self sufficient, not dependent on the EU they have an abundance of their own resources especially when it comes to keeping warm during their freezing winters.

The four countries I mention, not just Norway, all have low poverty and social freedom without a Bee and Ant mentality.

Re: Natural death causing viruses prove that humans are never free
In order to protect your reasoning, DAM, you should perhaps not use the word 'myth' to refer to how we name ideas and proceed to believe these ideas have natural reality and essence. So 'death' is not the only idea we reify. We mostly reify every idea we have.Dontaskme wrote: ↑Wed Oct 28, 2020 8:47 am We are here for the same reason why the cockroaches or the viruses are here.

Re: Natural death causing viruses prove that humans are never free
When you use the words 'freedom' and 'free' here, what do you actually mean?
What adults are you referring to here?
Which adults cannot have their own way?
I am not sure what small babies and children you are referring to here, but from what I have observed the younger the child the more freedom they appear to have. Also, some children have far more freedom than others.
But some, so called, "mummies" and "daddies" do NOT look after and protect children.Dontaskme wrote: ↑Mon Oct 26, 2020 4:13 pm As adults, we are still dependant on others to guide and protect us whether we like it or not, that's why we elect leaders of our communities and countries to make sure we are protected and looked after, just like mummy and daddy looked after and protected us as children, nothing has changed just because we are grown up now, especially regarding freedom.
NOT ALL adults are dependent upon, so called, "others" to guide and protect them.
Some do NOT elect, so called, and laughable, "leaders". For the very simple reason that they are incapable of leading in a True and proper way.
In fact a lot of the, so called, "leaders" are the very ones who create or cause conflict, itself, which is what causes the very wars, that ALL human beings need protecting from.
Also, if adults are, supposedly, still dependent upon "others" to guide and protect them, then who, EXACTLY, do you propose adults go to for guidance, and protection?
The actual, proper and correct, answer, by the way, is REALLY very simple AND easy to find and realize. (That is; AFTER 'you' have learned how to LOOK AT, SEE, and UNDERSTAND, thee actual Truth of things.)
LOL, and what actual evidence are you basing this ASSUMPTION off of, EXACTLY?
Re: Natural death causing viruses prove that humans are never free
When you use the word 'you' here, are you referring to 'me' or to human beings, in general?
Although adult human being "suffering" is completely UNNECESSARY, thee actual "suffering" they continually display REALLY is VERY CLEARLY VISIBLE.
This misbehavior, however, is just the result of a spoiled, confused, and abusive, childhood.
REALLY?
What, EXACTLY, is 'my' idea of 'freedom'?
Re: Natural death causing viruses prove that humans are never free
Okay. Thank you for your clarification.
This is partly due to the fact that you are NOT YET AWARE of how the Mind and the brain actually work, and partly due to your BELIEFS and ASSUMPTIONS.
If this is ALL you hear, then this partly explains some of your responses.
When you use the 'free' word here, then what exactly is that word in reference to.
See, to me, whether human beings are 'free' or not, is really NOT some thing, which is in relation to just some naturally occurring viruses.
Yes.
I think your, so called, "obvious point" of NOT being 'free' is only in relation to just one very specific detail or point of view, which really has NOTHING whatsoever to do with 'being free' or 'freedom', itself.
Re: Natural death causing viruses prove that humans are never free
Okay.
How EXACTLY does saying, 'I do KNOW some thing', and that, 'I can EXPLAIN, some thing', somehow prove 100% to you that "I actually have absolutely no idea what the hell I am talking about"?
This, to me, seems EXTREMELY contrdictory.
If you only 'think' this, then this is perfectly UNDERSTANDABLE. But if one had 100% PROOF, then instead of THINKING some thing they would actually be KNOWING that thing. See, KNOWING the ACTUAL difference between 'thinking' and 'knowing', and being able to EXPLAIN this ACTUAL difference, is ALSO some thing I KNOW and can EXPLAIN.
No matter how many times 'I' INFORM 'you' that 'I' have NO beliefs, you still PERSIST with your OWN conclusion and BELIEF here that 'I' do.Dontaskme wrote: ↑Tue Oct 27, 2020 9:14 am To make such a claim as knowing there is a difference between the ''you'' and the 'I' ...is the ERROR of the human mind, and if age really believes what he has claimed above, then that is why all the AGE comments and replies will never make any sense to anyone, but his own fucked-up retarded mental belief system.
Also, contrary to popular and YOUR BELIEF there is NO, so called, "human mind".
But 'you', "dontaskme", do, correct?
If yes, YET we can NOT ask 'you'. This is because you can NOT explain 'nonduality', correct?
Okay.Dontaskme wrote: ↑Tue Oct 27, 2020 9:14 am Age is just a lost cause trolling this forum because he has never been able to make sense of his life and purpose, and so he chooses to call out other people accusing them of what he is suffering from because he cannot handle the mental pain of his own lack of self understanding, and this lack of understanding causes him great mental affliction which he obviously cannot handle...
By the way, this is quite some CONCLUSION 'you' have arrived at. Now, would you like to EXPLAIN WHY I have, supposedly, NEVER been able to make sense of my life, and purpose?
Have you made sense of 'your life'? Do you KNOW the purpose of 'your life'? What is the 'sense of 'your' life', and, what is the 'purpose of 'your' life', "dontaskme"?
In fact what is the sense of 'Life', Itself, and, what is 'Life', Itself's, purpose?
Also, what is 'it' EXACTLY, which you accuse me of, so called, "suffering" from? And when have I accused "other people" of "suffering", and "suffering" from what, EXACTLY?
You also say that I cannot handle some, so called, "mental pain" because of my, alleged, "lack of 'self' understanding", yet it is 'you', "dontaskme", who is the one who claims that there is NO 'self'. So, HOW could ANY 'one' have a LACK of 'self' understanding when there is, supposedly, NO 'self' to begin with, according to thee 'one' known here as "dontaskme"?
By the way, and LOL, this is YOUR, so called, "argument" here:
P1. "ANOTHER", human being, is a "lost cause".
P2. This "OTHER" trolls this forum.
P3. This "OTHER" trolls this forum BECAUSE they have NEVER been able to make sense of their life and purpose.
P4. BECAUSE this "OTHER" NEVER was able to make sense of their life nor make sense of (their?) purpose they choose to call out other people and accuse them of what he is suffering from.
P5. What this "OTHER" suffers from is the "mental pain" of their own lack of 'self' understanding.
P6. The reason WHY this "OTHER" chooses to call out "other people" and accuse them of their own lack of 'self' understanding is BECAUSE of that "OTHER" can NOT handle the "mental pain" from their own lace of 'self' understanding. And,
C. This lack of understanding causes this "OTHER" great mental affliction which they OBVIOUSLY cannot handle.
Now, will you provide the ACTUAL 'evidence' AND 'proof', which backs up and supports ANY of this?
If yes, then great.
But if no, then okay.
Do you REALLY BELIEVE that 'I' have that much power that I can actually MAKE people BELIEVE that they are the crazy ones, or BELIEVE ANY thing at all?
If yes, then WHY?
But if no, then WHY write this allegation and claim?
By the way, the LAST THING I EVER want to do is MAKE 'you', people and human beings, BELIEVE ANY thing at all, let alone and especially BELIEVE that they are crazy, or the crazy ones.
Have 'I' MADE 'you' BELIEVE that 'you' are the crazy one?
If no, then 'what' are basing this allegation and claim on, EXACTLY?
But if yes, then WHEN?

But this is just a natural part of still being somewhat confused.
When, and if, 'you' also discover or learn how thee Mind and the brain actually work, then this will relieve just about ALL confusion.

And, who, exactly, does 'your point/your perception' PROVE things to?
