I'm thinking self-realization has to do will realizing everything is the Self . It would have to be a very intuitive knowing as facts are not available to prove such things in my estimation.

No I tried it but I prefer the chemical route with perhaps some meditation to augment it. I'm mostly interested in neuroscience, and so quite naturally the brain and what happens to it with mystical experiences, and liberation from ego/default mode network.

End of all suffering seems possible through such practices depending on the effects that such experiences bring about in the way the brain processes information due to neuroplasticity brought on by such pratices.

To me it is the ability to see the world ego-less having the mind shut down the default mode network and the experience of total infinite oneness with no separation of a you and other like the big bang where everything that is, is a non demensional point with infinite density.

Kant had a few words to say on the subject.

"Just around the corner." The dumbest song that I have ever heard..

by DATA-DOG in

i'm at my quasi-thanksgiving dinner with relatives.

i hear a haunting sound from another room.

"is that a children's song?

That song needs to be dedicated to all those elderly that were forced to leave Bethel to keep the cost low for the corporation, that should make them feel real good about the years they wasted at Bethel.

They are playing on the most gullible without any pity at all. These fucking dumb ass songs prove it Listen Obey be Blessed on down.

Press Release: Jehovah Witnesses and abuse. An aspect unknown in Spanish society. (#AbusosTJ)

by sp74bb in

press release, colectivo #abusostj.

barcelona, nov. 24, 2016 .

jehovah witnesses and abuse.

Brokeback Watchtower

Wishing you good luck!

This is not a war against Jehovah Witnesses. On the contrary, our struggle as a group is that, in 2016, anyone is free to believe, and by extension, also change their religious views and ideology without fear or coercion of any kind.

I would love to see that happen in one country after another it would put these guys out of business of praying on the poor gullible.

Back then it was taught the last days started 1799(something to do with Napoleon) 1874 end of man's 6000 existence or something and kingdom born perhaps, 1914 the complete end of the world.

A real dumb video for sure except to the heavily indoctrinated.

Just around the corner in galactical terms maybe which means perhaps billion years tops.

The physical effects of Cognitive Dissonance

by stuckinarut2 in

most of us here have gone through, or are going through the various stages "cognitive dissonance".. this is a term used to describe a situation where our minds, and hearts just know that something is "not quite right", and therefore we find ourselves in a muddle trying to reconcile the things we know with the things we are hearing or being told.... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/cognitive_dissonance.

so just wondering, how many of you found yourselves (or still find yourselves) becoming phyiscally ill in some way during the time of fading?.

i know that when i look back, for several years even before i was awake to the many issues and facts about the society, i would feel ill at assemblies or conventions.

I lost quite a bit of hearing during my decades with the JWs and to be fair that also causes the brain to shrink, so I can't blame their propaganda bull shit for all my brain loss there's nutrition, and other things like having a know it all attitude which make you ignore lots of things and stop learning which really make the brain shrink(which come to think of it is a door to door JW trait due to brain washing where you got all the answers to man's problems).
