Literally everything we have been conditioned to believe about reality is BS

You could resort to a secular world view and continue suffering, that is your choice.

Exactly. This is said by the mystics, of East and West, who have merely spent their whole lives on exploring the ether realms and achieving the stage of 'oneness'. Though Nirvana is a state above "oneness". Inherently, nirvana is not a state at all, but the cessation of all suffering and sensation.

Are you saying people don't experience Astral Projection? Or are you saying what they do experience is simply a lucid dream? Or are you saying neither exist and people are making it up? I'm confused.

Reality is more than we can perceive and less than we can imagine.

There are two universes. One before your eyes and one behind it. Imagine your lenses as the semi-permeable barrier between the two. What is inside can force its way to the outer universe, just as what is outside can force its way in.

For most people, the flow streams from without to within. News, opinions, events, empirical observations; they invade the inner universe and clutter it with randomness and disjointed collections that the inner universe battles to put into some usable arrangement as more pours in from instant to instant. Eventually the corporeal support system fails and the universe within is completed and the scatter is sealed as a full environment that will exist forever.

Some people flow primarily outward, and send their views and notions to the outer universe (the environment that we all share) to affect and adjust it per their preconceived intent. These people make the changes in our shared reality, and often, they move through their entire lives without taking much from the outer universe within, and they also seal as a full environment, having taken in relatively little of value, once their corporeal support system inevitably fails.

Very few people develop a true and deliberative exchange between the outer and the inner universes, and form valuable realizations through the careful and measured taking in and sending out between the two. Reality is best a blend of the two, with both affecting the other for the benefit of the most critical consideration - the proper development of what will become the inimitable whole once the corporeal system has served its purpose and the dynamic environment within seals and moves off to take its place within the larger whole that embraces it.

Both sending out and taking in are healthy and positive. It's in balance where the most of what's ultimately important is achieved.

how do you know there is know such thing as astral travel, remote viewing or any of these other things, oh my mistake you might just be a god that knows every thing there is to know, my bad.
I think its sad how some people dont see the prison they were born in, a prison of ignorance, hatred and greed, i have seen things that most people would not believe, so i have no choice but to keep an open mind, and i realize that i don't know everything there is to know, which is why im always learning new and wonderful things.

I am easy going also. I interact with the world daily. I bike ride in a famous park with friends.
I am a golfing grandpa too. There really is more to life.

There is something to remote viewing. I found three separate missing children, hundreds of miles away just by closing my eyes, and "looking"

Nice post OP.

I'm what you might call a spiritual scientist. I have these amazing experiences all the time and then I try to find out the science behind the perceived event. I can't go into a lot of details here (trying to stay on topic), but I will say this.

The more inward I look, the more questions I end up with.

The more outward I look, I see answers but I don't understand the questions.

The less I "look" for answers or questions, the more I discover.

Yes, all they told you was lies. All that time in school, just progaming you to be a slave to the machine of evil. Now you know. Will you still make the Machine of evil run? Now YOU know!

Experiencing the differences between Reality and Infinity.....I happened upon it by mistake one evening.
I was sat up late one night on my pc waiting for an update, the usual mundane activity. I was quite tired and was fighting to stay awake. I slipped into a sleep which lasted for what seemed several minutes, being fully aware of the time that had passed (shallow sleep) I then brought myself back thinking it had been atleast 5 minutes or more but it was literally seconds in reality. Unless you've witnessed this yourself its hard to explain.
When you have witnessed real full meditation you would not be left with the assumption that this reality is all there is..........Full meditation is to experience yourself without the body, and then on to meet what I call my trueself sat in meditation at the centre of a what looks like a glowing star.....A sublime experience that is hard to convey in words but I tried.
Matrix yes but with a purpose.........
Don't Think
Just witness the breath
no thoughts
1 hour a day
My own personal gateway out of the Matrix.

The problem is that there is no such thing as astral projection nor remote viewing. They don't exist and are mearly the product of over-active imaginations. Meditation is simply a way to relax the brain and give it a break. Your whole rant about the reality being inside your brain is idiotic as well because the brain cannot act nor react without stimuli which is provided from....wait for it......reality or the world in which we live. The real world is all that there is and no matter how badly you want to be in the Matrix movies, it's not gonna happen.

So, instead of spending all of your time locked in imagination land, maybe you spend a little more time out in the real world enjoying your life. I've said it a million times before, but I'll say it again for you:


Your response that atral projection doesn't exist is completely laughable and easily rubbished...

You keep telling yourself that all forms of evidence and everyone is lying, so you can continue to live in a denial driven fantasy world..

My response here is exactly the same as yours though ..(no hard proof) But the preponderance of evidence through testimony still tips the scales more to the side that it does actually happen (atral projection) (The existence of a spirit form)

Lots and lots of evidence exist for that if you have the apptitude to comprehend it... It doesn't appear that you have any, sadly..

Well I have no idea about astral projection or remote viewing or seeing the future or any of this stuff. But the one thing that I do see is feedback. That is be happy and the world usually goes right for you, be miserable doom and gloom and usually its – are well the other.
Conscious feedback works not for one but for all of us, we all use it differently some knowingly and some not. If I get cranky at all the lights on red when I’m in a hurry it will likely stay that way they are never green. If I’m running early they will all go green. Wishing for them to be one or the other will not work it’s a base attitude that is the controlling factor. I use this simple example because most of us can relate to it and if you have never given it a thought then you should.
There are other feedback examples and I’m guessing you could give yours. If then we have feedback into the system then there is a system. The system gives as much as gets – that’s how I see it working.
So if as your title suggests “reality being BS” then I would say true when you don’t understand it and false when you do understand it. To be clear personally I understand little when it comes to this stuff but feedback works for me.
