"A man should look for what is and not for what he thinks

"In addition to the fossil evidence, the genetic code proves that all animals, including us, evolved from bacteria over the last 700 million years on earth.

In other words, you were a microbe, an insect, a fish, a dinosaur, an ape...

When all of the evidence (100%) says something happened, and there is no evidence (zero) that anything else could have happened, it is the truth beyond a reasonable doubt to honest, rational people.

We have come a very, very long way, but we have a little further to go. The next and last step in our evolution is learning and accepting the truth of life, and this includes acknowledging our true past.

The truth will free us from the animal world we all evolved from."

Immortality: "It is impossible to be conscious of being unconscious."

It is not possible to be aware of being unconscious from your own perspective. You cannot be aware of not being aware. You can be less aware/conscious, such as when you are asleep, but not completely unconscious (dead), because time would stand still for you. A billion years could pass, and you would not know it.

How do you know you are dead? It is not possible to be aware of any gaps in life; it is continuous and never-ending from your own point of view.

Death and birth are a continuous event from your own perspective.

You will die physically, but you will be born into a new physical body. Being born happens, or you would not be here now. You were born into this life. It is what we know happens. There is no evidence anything else happens. True or false?

The "you only live once" theory: Many people say that they do not believe in reincarnation; they believe when you die, you're dead. What about fish, clams, horses, bears, flies? People that say you only live once are saying some souls get to live just one life as a worm, and that is it for all of eternity.

Other people believe you are judged by a god after you die. Is the worm judged?

Many people think human beings are the only animal that is conscious. Is a dog or cat conscious? Where do you draw the line? Is a bird conscious? The truth is, all animal life is conscious and alive just like us.1 The only thing that makes humans different from other animals is that we have a mind that can think and reason at a high enough level to know the truth of life, and those that know rise above animals.

It is time to see and accept the truth the evidence supports.

You are immortal; it is impossible to not be, because it is impossible to be conscious of being unconscious. Just that one sentence proves it. It is like these sentences: It is impossible for it to be light and dark at the same time, you cannot have your cake and eat it too. They are simple, but certain facts. The sentence "It is impossible to be conscious of being unconscious" is a simple and certain fact.

Energy cannot be created or destroyed; it can only be changed from one form to another. Albert Einstein

Like energy, consciousness cannot be created or destroyed.

This revelation will change your life. Now you know where you come from and what you have been doing for about half a billion years (evolving). The next question is how does life work and what is next, and we can know that too.

People are trying to understand the universe independent of consciousness, and it is the most important factor in the equation.

The universe as it relates to conscious life can be understood now. It is the ultimate truth; the truth that will transform mankind and the world.

"For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction." FAB = -FBA

People do not realize what Isaac Newton's third law of motion really means.

Everything is balanced. Everything physical (matter/energy) goes back and forth in balanced circles, cycles, or the equivalent. Birth-death, old-young, big-small, strong-weak, start-stop, up-down, rich-poor, beginning-end, fast-slow, hot-cold, pain-pleasure, win-lose, day-night, full-empty, high-low, in-out, success-failure, united-divided, give-receive, creation-destruction, on-off, positive-negative, etc.

Positive and negative forces moving in balance are the physical universe.

There are no exceptions to the laws of nature Newton revealed. They apply to all matter and energy. Human beings are matter and energy, thus you and all humans are governed by the same laws.

Luck: Good luck and bad luck are the balance in action and the way the balance most affects our lives. Luck is manifested on many levels. There is the day-to-day luck, from little things like getting a good parking space or a bad one, to big things, such as winning the lottery or finding out you have cancer. Then there is the long-term luck. You are lucky if you are born with good looks, money, health, talent and intelligence. You are unlucky if you are born unattractive, poor, sickly and without talent or intelligence. Most people are in between the extremes, but it does not matter, because we are immortal, and it will all balance out. Luck will move back and forth; everyone will get equal amounts of good and bad luck.

What goes around comes around. Everyone gets their turn.

Death is the great equalizer: If you are born with advantages, you can have more good times than bad times in your life, but when you die, you are reborn with disadvantages, and have more bad times than good times and vice versa. In the long run, no one has it better or worse than anyone else does, because life will always balance eventually. It is the known nature of the universe we live in.

If you flip a coin a thousand times, it will come up heads about half the time and tails about half the time. The odds of random events are predictable; this is why Las Vegas always makes a profit on gambling year after year. You can see the truth if you look at the big picture. You will see that random events are predictable because they balance. It's a fundamental truth of life everyone knows, but ignores.

This is why on the Fourth of July, about 162 people will be killed in auto accidents, and every fourth, about the same amount are killed. An average of twelve auto accidents happen every minute; about six-thousand teenagers are killed in auto accidents every year in the US. About four million people are bitten by dogs.

Why is the number about the same every year?

Everything is determined, the beginning as well as the end, by forces over which we have no control. It is determined for insects as well as for the stars. Human beings, vegetables or cosmic dust; we all dance to a mysterious tune, intoned in the distance. Albert Einstein

Destiny: Not being in control does not mean our future is predestined. No one knows the future; the future cannot be known. Anything can happen. The only thing we can be certain of is that it will be balanced.

The good news is, all of the best things are going to happen to you; the bad news is, so will all of the worst things, if you do not learn the truth.

Consequences: People may think, if everything is balanced, then it does not matter what you do. That is true, if you want to continue living in the savage animal realm. If you want to evolve past the animal realm, to a realm where there is no fear, pain or death, you have to learn and spread the truth of life. You have to live as a spiritual being. If you live like an animal, you will continue to be one.

The greatest present: For the first time in history, the first time in our 700 million years on this planet, we can know life, know what we are, where we come from, and where we are going. We have to take advantage of this brief opportunity. It has been a long time coming and will be a long time gone. This book will give you the power to change our present course to one that leads to a place without pain, fear or suffering, a place some western religions call heaven.

Keep reading: New and different revelations about life are not easy to accept. Do not let the things you disagree with stop you from reading further. Many of the things you do not agree with or understand when you first read them will make sense after you read more of the book. Do not skip around; it needs to be read in order to make sense. It is a small book (101 pages) that does not take much time to read. It is worth it. Search Truth Contest and read the top entry called "The Present"

Sometimes people hold a core belief that is very strong. When they are presented with evidence that works against that belief, the new evidence cannot be accepted. It would create a feeling that is extremely uncomfortable, called cognitive dissonance. And because it is so important to protect the core belief, they will rationalize, ignore and even deny anything that doesn't fit in with the core belief. Frantz Fanon

Cognitive dissonance: Get to know these two words. It is the unseen enemy of mankind. It does more to cause war, crime and suffering than anything else, because it prevents people from learning and changing. If you are ready to overcome your cognitive dissonance and learn the truth of life, keep reading.

I was not those other animals. I was not anyone else. I existed from the moment the fusion of gametes multiplied rapidly in gestation to form my nervous system. I am, genetically speaking, nothing but a copy of a copy of a copy of a copy of a copy ad nauseam. One of my ancient ancestors was not a human like me, and neither was its ancient ancestor. But my grandfather was not a fish. I am not my grandfather, especially because I have a Y chromosome and thus do not clone myself.

>You cannot be aware of not being aware
Yes you can. You can watch someone go unconscious. You can be aware of time missing from your memory- one moment you're awake, the next you're on the floor. You can conceive of a state of not being aware. Time wouldn't stand still if you were dead, because you wouldn't be there to be beholden to the window of time that human beings are. You would not experience the time of you being dead. Nothing would happen. Time for you would not stop, it would also not move, but outside of you, time would in fact progress. Depending on the nearby observer, at a specific rate.

An event cannot be continuous if time is supposed to stop, dumbass.

Evolution isn't a thinking feeling entity. Things die. Some dead things serve the things that live. There are no souls, and if there are, then there is exactly that much novel about them, and a dead worm is a worm that was meant to die and could not have not died. Many animals are conscious. Few animals possess as much reflexivity and self-awareness as humans. You're dumb.

We're immortal by way of information theory, idiot. If you are never brought back, and you never exert effect, you are effectually dead and not immortal. It is not impossible for it to be light and dark at the same time, this is why the frame of reference exists.

>Like energy, consciousness cannot be created or destroyed
Wrong. If the states that bring forth consciousness never exist again, it is effectually destroyed.

>There are no exceptions to the laws of nature Newton revealed
That's not how physics works. We do not know everything yet. There is no luck if everything is determined.

>it will come up heads about half the time and tails about half the time
Not in practice. There must exist a situation on paper where the outcome of heads to tails is favoring one more than the other, sometimes greatly, and in practice nothing is perfect. Thus, in practice, there will be anomalies in spite of the theory. Quantum decoherence is a fine example.

The future can be known. The future is always being dissected by our brains constantly in a fleeting attempt to preempt any sort of catastrophic failure. You decide on actions before you even commit to them. You have already seen and memorized things you have yet to actively think about or recognize. Your thoughts have been made in advance.

>then it does not matter what you do
It does not matter what you do. Nothing is that balanced on this kind of scale. It does not translate from macro to micro.

>Do not let the things you disagree with stop you from reading further
Don't be stupid and stop reading further.

>Cognitive dissonance: Get to know these two words
Patient zero speaks about his condition.

Fuck off with this time cube shit. If this was the dark ages I'd flay you alive with a shit stick.

It's not what you look at that matters; it's what you see.
Henry David Thoreau

When you see the truth for the first time, it is what people call a peak moment, or a moment of clarity. You get a larger percentage of what each moment of life actually contains; you are filled with life. Your mind is the gatekeeper of life, and sometimes it lets a little true life in, but most of the time it does not.
Mind Block True Life Present

Figure 1 shows how mankind currently perceives life. Figure 2 shows true life.

The arrows represent life coming to you from all directions. The dotted line shows how your mind blocks most of the life coming to you. Without the mind blocking life, you receive all of life, true life, and reflect it all back out.

Seeing Niagara Falls or the Grand Canyon for the first time is a peak moment for most people. Why does it make you feel so alive? Nothing really happens to you. Why doesn’t it feel as good the second time you see it? You are seeing the same thing. The reason is, your mind opens up when something is special.

The truth is, every moment of life is special, and you can be completely open to life most of the time. You have to see the truth to see true life.

I can agree with some of the things here, but the big question still stands: what is the link between the mind and the "perceiver", "spirit" or whatever, if there is one? How do electrochemical signals in the physical brain turn into the qualitative contents of conscioiusness? All I can see is a number of general and speculative statements, not a revolutionary new theory of consciousness.

>>736509997
The Link best explained by the Term "Collective Unconscious" is explained in the short book. IT is not the same definition as Jung's but more accurately described.

The obvious is that which is never seen until someone expresses it simply. Khalil Gibran

The truth of life does not change anything in life except people's minds. Things stay the same. The truth just removes the unnecessary suffering, conflict and confusion from life.

The truth about life is actually very simple; it is just hard to see for the first time.

Life: It all boils down to how you feel from moment to moment, how often you feel good and how often you feel bad, and it will be balanced like everything else physical. Your infinite past was balanced, and your infinite future will be too, unless you change from a physical being into a spiritual being. To change into a spiritual being, you just have to know the truth, which changes your point of view and your perspective of life so that you start to live your life as a spiritual being.

Our life does not have to be just fifty-fifty like the physical world, because our spiritual-self, our immortal-self, is not physical and does not need to be balanced to exist. Our physical environment cannot fundamentally change, but we can. You just have to know it to do it.

Nothing is going to make any real difference in your life except separating yourself from the balanced physical world. It can and will change everything.

The truth reveals that you do not need to experience the bad to have the good. The bad will still happen, but you will perceive it differently.

Good/bad: When you know the truth, you take the two sides of life, the good and bad side, and see them as one whole. You do this by understanding what the balancing force means. It means all bad times will pass and be compensated for by an equal amount of good times. It also means all good times will pass and be paid for with an equal amount of bad times. It will always balance.

When you know the truth, you will enjoy the good times more and still avoid a bad time when you can, but when you cannot, the knowledge of the balance helps you get through the bad times. This is because knowing that the worse it gets, the better it will be, makes bad times almost enjoyable. More importantly, it centers your perspective of life. You see both sides of life; whole life, true life.

You do not get just 50/50; you get 100%.

The knowledge of the balance takes away your reasons to be mad, sad, hate, worry, envy, be disappointed; it takes away all negative emotions and feelings.

It removes all stress and negative mind-made feelings from your life.

The mind starts disappearing, and true life starts appearing.

As the mind gets smaller, life gets bigger. As the mind shrinks, life expands. When the mind disappears completely, your perception of life becomes clear. Eventually, you will only think when you have to, which is not very often. You will be able to accept the present of life, no matter what is happening. You change into a new being, a spiritual being, and you become the present, the eternal NOW.

We want to expand our life, not expand our minds as they did in the 1960s.

The more you live in the present, the more fulfilling life gets. Time will slow down; you will see the magic and wonder of life you saw as a child, and you will experience it without the ignorance and all the negative emotions of childhood. Soon, you will be able to see life better than a child sees it or any animal has ever seen it. You will see the real world, an enchanted world.

Your two selves: Most people are not aware of the fact that they have two different selves. You have a mind and a spirit (consciousness), and though they seem like one thing, they are separate. The way to realize that this is true is to realize that something has to be listening to the thoughts created by your mind.

What is it that hears your thoughts?

There is the part of you that thinks and the part that hears the thoughts. The thinking part is your mind; the part that hears the thoughts is your spiritual-self. You do not actually hear thoughts through your ears, because your mind is already inside your head. The point is, your spiritual-self receives the things the mind creates in a similar way to hearing them.

Check it out: Just ask yourself, what is it that is hearing the thoughts you are thinking right now?

It is your spiritual-self, the same thing that receives all life.

As shown in the drawing, mankind is currently living as their mind-self, and as a result, does not know their spiritual-self. “Know thy self,” as Socrates said.

You have to know true life to know your true self.

>>736510520
Brainlet cult. Just make yourself dumb so you can do their bidding.

Perspective and perception: The same world is perceived differently by a frog and a cat, a cat and a dog, a dog and a human, a child and an adult, a woman and a man. You see something different than I do. All perspectives are unique.

We do not see things the way they are; we see things the way we are.

People see and experience life through their own mind and senses and from their own unique perspective and awareness level. This does not change the truth. The physical world will never change; it cannot change and still exist, but the way you perceive it can. Perception and perspective determine how clearly and truly you see life and how fulfilling or unfulfilling life is for you. Knowing the ultimate truth makes it possible for people to see life clearly and to be filled by it.

You cannot control life, but you can change the way you see life.

Animals other than man are more fulfilled, because they have less mind blocking life, but they are stuck with the perspective and perception they are born with. We (human beings) can greatly improve our perception by learning the ultimate truth.

All the problems we have stem from people not knowing the truth of life.

Unhappy: People look around and think, why are there so many people that are unhappy? We have progressed so far, yet people are still unhappy. Why isn’t this world the wonderful place it could be? Changing the world doesn’t change us.

It does not matter how much we progress materially; it will not change anything. Only learning and seeing the truth will change us, and thus change everything.

The truth transforms a mortal man into an immortal spiritual being.
It does this because the truth just shows you what you truly are, and that changes everything. The truth does the same thing for the way we see the world and for the same reason. It shows you life clearly; it shows you true life for the first time.

>>736510965
>Animals other than man are more fulfilled
The fuck they are. Worms die and are forgotten. Do you want to be a worm, faggot?

True life is perfect: You can see and experience a perfect life, because that is the way life actually is. Our imperfect minds mess it up.

It is hard to believe from your current perspective and level of awareness, but it is your own mind that makes life imperfect. The universe has to be perfect to exist.

You do not have to believe it; you can know it.

The present: It is interesting that the “NOW" is called "the present.” The present is the ultimate gift; it is the gift of truth and life. You are given the present every second, and you will receive it forever. The present is the only thing that exists, the only thing you are ever conscious of. Your life is a series of presents moving through time. The future does not exist until it becomes the present.

Life is one perpetual present.

Creation is happening now: Your body, mind, and the world around it are being created from microsecond to microsecond. Things may look the same, but they are not; everything is constantly changing and being recreated. Our life and our world is being created from moment to moment.

Life and everything in it is always new.

People think that they are not good looking enough, young enough, thin enough, smart enough, rich enough, etc. They live on the edge of the circle and just go around and around forever, lost in the illusions of their minds.

Greener grass: The concept of past, future, and a distorted perception of the present keeps people running for the greener grass on the other side of the fence. They miss the present in the process.

Chasing the horizon: It is like running after the horizon; the faster you go, the faster it moves away from you. One day, you realize that you are standing on it. What you were running after is where you already are and always will be.

All people want is what is in the present, but they do not know it because they have never opened it. Almost no one knows what the present really is.

sources?

The present has to be our goal, because it is the only thing that exists.

The big tease: Your mind will open up part way from time to time to give you a taste of true life, and then take it away. It will attach the open moments to things that are hard to do, like things that cost a lot of money, things that are difficult or dangerous, or things that the mind considers to be new or special. Your mind makes you pay for life in one way or another, and never lets you have it for free.

A fulfilling life is always free and always available once you know the truth.

Fulfilled: It is the way we feel when our minds are completely open to life; we become “filled” with life. Being filled with life makes you feel the way you want to feel all the time. Fulfillment is true happiness. Doctors say that you feel good or happy because of the release of chemicals in your brain that make you feel good. This is true; chemicals such as endorphins, adrenaline, serotonin and dopamine make you feel good, but they do it by just allowing you to feel a little true life. Like all drugs, the effect is temporary, and it has a balancing downside. The ultimate truth is not temporary and has no down side. No drugs are necessary.

In this animal realm, physical pain and pleasure will come and go, but you can always be filled with life (fulfilled) once you know the truth.

Freedom: If you tie your fulfillment to things that happen in your environment, you are at the mercy of the constantly changing environment. You will only get a taste of fulfillment when things go your way, when you win or get what you want. Spiritual people are fulfilled when they lose. If you do not attach your fulfillment to what happens in your environment, you can be fulfilled no matter what happens. True freedom is having the ability to be fulfilled independent of what happens in the environment. Almost no one is free now. Only the truth will set you free.

>>736511615
OP here I wish I could answer your question but I don't really understand it. If you are interested in the content posted Search "Truth Contest and read the top entry called "The Present"

Instant gratification: Why put requirements on feeling good? True life is being given to us all the time; we just have to let it in all the time. True life is instant and complete gratification that costs nothing. Being free is in your head.

The secret: Most people know you do not need “things” or things to happen to be happy (be fulfilled), but most people do not know how it works. The secret is opening your mind. Without thought and negative emotions, the same thing happens that happens when you get what you think you want.

You become as sensual as you can possibly be; you become your senses.

You can feel better than you would feel if you just won the lottery everyday. Why not? It is just a state of mind, or state of no-mind. It is your life; just take what is coming to you. You can be fulfilled whenever you want. The present is for you.

Being fulfilled, being filled by life all the time, is the true goal of mankind.

Everything that people do, directly and indirectly, good and bad, is to be fulfilled by life. Once you know the truth, you can skip all the things and just be fulfilled.

Empty: As shown in the drawing, the mind makes it impossible to know reality (true life) and to be fulfilled. The present with the mind blocking and distorting it is not fulfilling. It leaves you empty and full of desire for something to fill the emptiness. The things the mind does to try to fill the void just block life more. The more people run towards what they think they want, the more they miss it.

Something missing: People feel that something is missing, because something is missing; true life is missing.

The door: Your mind is like a door, and for most, it is currently closed. You have to have a truly open mind to learn the truth and experience true life (the present).

>Evolution is no longer just a theory

Yes it is,theory, fantasy a bullshit and political propaganda.
Darwin was a Masonic fraud

That which is: The literal meaning of the word “truth” is “that which is.”
The living truth = that which is. That which is = the present.

The truth of the past = that which was. The truth of the future = that which will be. You can only truly know “that which is,” because now is the only thing that exists. The past is a memory or a story. The future is just an educated guess. You can only know the true past and what the true future will be by knowing “that which is possible.” If you know how life works, you will know everything.

Definition of ultimate truth: It is knowing the truth of life. It is knowing the fundamental, eternal laws of nature, and the nature of the mind which distorts and hides the truth. It is an accurate and complete understanding of “that which is.”

You do not and cannot understand every detail of life and do not have to. You just have to understand the big picture, the fundamental nature of life.
This truth never changes, because “that which is” can never change. It cannot change and exist. When you know life completely, you become life completely.

Self-evident: There is nothing easier to know than the truth, because it is life itself. It is nothing more and nothing less. The truth is the present, THE NOW.

It is all true: The truth is simply everything there is, everything that truly exists. If it does not exist, it is not the truth; if it does, it is. “That which is” is everything except for the deceptions created by the mind.

The truth is incontrovertible; malice may attack it, ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is. Winston Churchill

2 + 2 = 4: It does not equal anything else. The truth is, there is only one truth. Believing 2 + 2 = 5 or 6 or anything else does not make it true. There are an infinite amount of wrong answers, but only one true answer.

Hope/belief: Believing and hoping something is true or going to be true does not make it true, if you do not start with the real truth. It is the truth, or it is not. There is no way to make something that is not true, true. There is only one truth.

Faith in faith: In and of itself, belief, faith, hope, wishing, good luck charms, holy relics, symbols, positive thinking, good intentions, praying, curses, voodoo, magic spells, fortune tellers, psychics, etc. do not do anything except make people feel like they have some control over life. They are just coping strategies.

If you believe a fairytale or myth is true, you will not live happily ever after.

People that currently have faith and belief in a myth are a force against the truth.

Believing in things that do not exist is the worst thing you can do.

>>736511877
Sorry. I was meant inanimate matter instead of "dead matter". I was asking how could inanimate become living matter having in mind the entropy.

Religious people want to believe so badly, they will ignore scientific evidence, reason, common sense and their own better judgment. Religions have perverted the meaning of the word "truth". The Webster's Dictionary definition below says what the word means:

truth: being in accord with fact or reality

Many things religious people say they believe are not in accord with fact or reality. They are myths, superstition, hope, not truth. To say it is truth is a lie. True or false? In other words, most of the world's traditional religions are spreading lies and many know it, which in addition to being liars makes them dishonest hypocrites. The ones that do not know they are lying think they are doing the will of their god, when in truth, they are doing the will of the enemy of their god, Satan, who is defined in their holy books as the great deceiver, the king of all lies.

The real truth unites people; it does not divide them. It makes sense, and it applies to everyone, everywhere, all of the time. It creates clarity, not confusion. The truth leads to real equality, freedom, peace, love and understanding. The real truth only asks you to believe in something you can check for yourself.

Anyone who cares about the truth enough to check what it is will know the truth. Those who do not care enough will not learn the truth and will be lost and deserve to be lost.

Monkey see, monkey do: Most people just tell people what they have been told the truth is. They just accept what others say the truth is, especially if it is what people have been accepting as the truth for thousands of years. It is monkey see, monkey do.

Second-hand truth should not be believed or repeated without checking it out for yourself. The age of playing follow the leader is ending now.

Creation is happening now: Your body, mind, and the world around it are being created from microsecond to microsecond. Things may look the same, but they are not; everything is constantly changing and being recreated. Our life and our world is being created from moment to moment.

Entropy is true, but life is being created moment to moment second to second eternally. It is the nature of nature to Give birth and to die but the cycle itself is eternal.

Does there need to be a who? Why? I won't say there isn't a who, but I don't see why there absolutely must be a who.

Maybe it is a what.

Second-hand truth is called hearsay in a court of law, and it is not admissible for an important reason; it has proven not to be a dependable source of the truth.

What could be more irresponsible than saying something is true without knowing beyond a reasonable doubt that it is true? Billions of people are doing it.

Do not believe what anyone says, including me; check things for yourself. You have to see the truth yourself in life itself to know it.

You are at what could be the end of a very long and difficult quest. You now have the opportunity to complete the quest and leave the animal realm forever.

The only real difference between mankind and other animals is our ability to reason and think. Thus, reason has to be what we have to use to evolve further. We have to use what sets us apart from other animals.

The truth: You now know “the truth” part of the truth and life. There are only five fundamental things you need to know, and they are the following:

1. Our true history.
2. You are immortal.
3. Everything will balance.
4. You are a spiritual being.
5. The present is everything.

The wisdom of the world can be found in an acorn.

This is a secondhand truth. This is hearsay. You are saying something is true and claiming that you know beyond a reasonable doubt that it is.

Questioning everything when it has been done longer than you can ever conceive of is dangerous and foolish. Fire burns. You do not need to experience that for yourself to know, because the sun already makes you warm, and you can see how things that become hot begin to emit light energy, because there is so much heat energy building up that it needs to escape in another way.

The dark ages were dark for a reason.

Like water: The eleven pages you just read explain the truth of life, but just reading the eleven pages is not enough; it is just the start. The truth is like water, and it will slip through your fingers. You need to read this whole book and do the things the book says to do to hold onto the truth and benefit from it.

Repetition: If something is repeated, it makes a bigger impression and changes your brain more, changes your inner environment more. Thus, the more repetition, the better. That is why I repeat some things many times and say the same thing many different ways. TV advertisers repeat commercials for this reason.

As a single footstep will not make a path on the earth, so a single thought will not make a pathway in the mind. To make a deep physical path, we walk again and again. To make a deep mental path, we must think over and over the kind of thoughts we wish to dominate our lives. Henry David Thoreau

Simple: It is important to simplify the way you see and know life; it is the only way it can be known. It can be almost infinitely complicated, and trying to understand it all is what mankind is trying to do. We have to go the other way and see and know it in the most simple way, because it is the only way we can know all that can be known. We can never know all the details, they are infinite and it is impossible, but we can know the simple big picture of life. That is what this book attempts to do.

Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not one bit simpler.
Albert Einstein

What is said in this book is not just a theory; it is what the evidence says. It is truth you can check, and that makes it the real truth and the only truth.

Why Humans evolved to have consciousness and not the other animals?

You just have to check it out for yourself so you know you know it and remember it until it sinks in. It has to go deep into your subconscious. You have to see the truth in every moment without thinking about it; you have to know it intuitively.

Without the truth, there can be no real morality, justice, equality, unity, success, freedom, love, security, peace, spirituality or even survival.

Only the truth can stop the wars and make the world the paradise it can be.

Friend to all: It is important to understand we do not want to hurt anyone or anything. We want to fix people and institutions that are flawed, that are sick and infected with BS. We just have the medicine, the cure. We want everyone to get better, especially the "bad guys". We are not anyone's enemy; we want to make love, not war. When the people living in the dog eat dog animal world, playing the power game, the get rich and famous game, see the truth of life, they will realize that they are their own worst enemy. They will change, because it is in their best interest to change. They will change for selfish reasons, which is fine as long as they see the truth of life and get on the path to a paradise on earth.

Common denominator: The truth is the only thing that can unite all human beings. It is what we all have in common, and that will never change. There is only one sky for all of us. Everyone eats, breathes, is born and dies, etc. The ultimate truth is universal truth; it is the same for everyone, everywhere. It always has been and always will be. We can now know the truth about life and death.

The difference between knowing and not knowing is checking. Nothing could be more simple. If you care enough about the truth to check what it is, you will know the truth of life. The sad truth is, most people do not care, and mankind and our world are being destroyed as a result. If you care, now is the time to prove it.

"Many people think human beings are the only animal that is conscious. Is a dog or cat conscious? Where do you draw the line? Is a bird conscious? The truth is, all animal life is conscious and alive just like us.1 The only thing that makes humans different from other animals is that we have a mind that can think and reason at a high enough level to know the truth of life, and those that know rise above animals."

>>736512824
There are more animals that are conscious than humans. Don't be unaware of this fact.

this

>>736513028
I don't think you understand what evolution is, or you wouldn't have made that bad of a leap in logic.

I did not mention any of those things as being the process of evolution. Evolution isn't a property of the universe that deals with the interaction of matter or energy. It is a phenomenon. It is the result of interactions between matter and energy.

Radioactive decay, enthalpy, gravity, density, electrostatics, strong and weak forces, quantum. These qualities of physics enablesmatter and energy to occupy states. Evolution is what happens when matter that self-assembles and attempts to replicate itself, replicates a version of itself that has a quirk. That quirk, allows it to exist better in the environment than the previous iterations. The previous iterations experience degrees of suffering and death, while the mutation of a copy survives and breeds them out.

Evolution doesn't choose. It isn't aware, it isn't alive.

I suggest you kill yourself for trivializing and misusing the words, progress, efforts, and struggles of good men.

Ok. But you didn't answer how could life be given without another individual who made it of influenced it.

>>736513485
You just can't wrap your head around a system where there was no one curating anything. I'm not even going to try, because this may as well be bait, and you're one person among many who will be another faceless corpse against the foundation.

Go ahead and follow the "Truth contest" cult.

>The truth is, all animal life is conscious and alive just like us.

The thread of awareness runs through all things, yes, but don't limit that to animal life. The first "living" things had to come from "non-living" matter. If non-living matter is the fundamental building blocks of living matter, if consciousness is built out of unconsciousness, then there really isn't a fundamental difference between this and that, it's all the same thing separated by time, space, and circumstance.

>>736508180
How could mutations of a whole population of a species be given if they are 1/800? Also if you say that one species will survive and spread himself, it's impossible to spread himself along almost the whole population of the species.

>>736514087
Non Living matter? Consciousness is eternal, has always been, will always be in some form or another.

I take pleasure in knowing all of you will vanish for an extended period of time and no longer exhibit your agency on this world.

>>736514195
Im not sure I understand the question. To reiterate what I am try to say is that before you were born into this life as a human you lived as every animal in your direct ancestral line.

Your consciousness or soul has been traveling together with mankind since our beginning on earth as bacteria.

In other words we were those other animals and now we have evolved enough to know our true past.

>It removes all stress and negative mind-made feelings from your life.

Unless, you know, you have a physical predisposition to emotional instability. You're not saying anything I haven't already thought about, but just being aware of the truth isn't enough to overcome the things that trouble you. That takes practical, grounded work to address and overcome the things that bother you. You can't just become enlightened and never be troubled by things again. You won't just transcend and never feel anger or sadness again. You're still a human being. You're still a creature who has to deal with family and friends and enemies and pain and annoyances. Stress doesn't just disappear because you embrace what essentially is nihilism.

>>736514498
You take no pleasure because you Know nothing.

>>736514570
You can brother, you can. If your mind creates negative emotions it can stop creating them. You just have to know the truth the whole truth to do it.

This is because the truth takes away any need to feel bad or sad again. Understanding will set you free, if you know the truth nothing can hurt you.

>>736514615
I take pleasure exactly because I know you know that I know, and know what I know, but choose to say otherwise.

I put it in quotes to try to signify I was using general speech. When someone says that inorganic matter is non-living and I say that inorganic matter is alive, we don't necessarily disagree, we're just using different words to point to the same thing. Sharing a dictionary doesn't mean we speak the same language. My map of words and meaning in my brain is different than yours. We need to acknowledge that if we want to be successful in communicating. Saying "I'm right, you're wrong" without understanding what the other person is saying is irresponsible, disrespectful, and only serves to close yourself off from others.

>>736515817
If the dictionary is English, and you share it, it necessitates that you share the English language. You say you don't necessarily disagree, but non-living and alive are not the same thing in exact definition and usage.

You map words and meaning differently in your brain. The dictionary does not use those words or meanings like you do. So, use the dictionary, not your brain, because saying anything without understanding what the other person is saying is irresponsible, disrespectful, and close-minded.

Don't make it harder than it has to be. Don't willfully mislead people and pretend you are being earnest and forthcoming when you know what you are doing is not the standard, let alone easily intelligible.

>>736515817
Your right I didn't mean to imply Im right your wrong. I probably should not have tried to answer that without understanding it completely.

I will try to explain myself.

Our consciousness or "Spirit" is immortal. When we talk about first life on earth we can know that all life on earth originated beyond earth most likely traveling in the form of Bacteria on an asteroid or Comet.

>>736516164
>So, use the dictionary, not your brain, because saying anything without understanding what the other person is saying is irresponsible, disrespectful, and close-minded.
I was just responding to the unconventional language of the thread. What I tried to point out is animals are made from chemicals, and even though chemicals themselves aren't, usually, referred to as "alive", they have to have something in them that allows "life as we know it" to be possible. I personally think that's the same thing as "spirit" or "awareness" or some other word that hasn't been put in the dictionary yet that better describes what I'm talking about.

>Don't willfully mislead people and pretend you are being earnest and forthcoming when you know what you are doing is not the standard, let alone easily intelligible.
I'm sorry I wasn't as clear as I meant to be.

>>736516312
Alls I was saying is that even the asteroid has to contain an awareness of some kind. The way people generally refer to "living" and "non-living" is, at the heart of it, a false dichotomy. You're not just the bacteria that started the chain of species on this planet, you're every piece of matter.

>>736517069
Chemicals don't have to have something in them that allows "life as we know it". They are
>exactly
what allows "life as we know it". Chemicals
>are
life. You can believe that chemicals have a spirit.

But chiral molecules don't disappear if you stop believing in them. They
>are
you.

>>736517325
This is turning into a semantic argument. I don't think we actually disagree about the key points.

>>736517259
O I see. But asteroids are not conscious. Neither is Plant Life. Animal life is conscious life. Consciousness permeates everything but that does not mean an Asteroid is consciously aware.

>>736517446
You said that chemicals are "alive", that they have to have something in them that allows "life as we know it" to be possible, that you think that is the same thing as a "spirit" or "awareness".

I said that those chemicals are not alive. They they do not have a spirit. That they do not need to be alive, aware, or have a spirit to be building blocks, to allow "life as we know it". That they simple enable life because they are exactly the chemicals they are and nothing else, that they the exact basic building blocks of life with no other qualities than their molecular properties. And I was very clear about that.

That isn't semantic.
