In pursuit of truth and beauty, optimising for fun.

Philosophy, Psychology, spirituality and Mysticism.

Are your thoughts really your own? 💬

[Valay Kumar Jain @valay_73]

A life without the elements of spirituality is incomplete, inane and inexact. It is like being a bird that cannot fly or a fish that cannot swim. How can any man, for years, walk in this world and never once consider seriously the existence of his own soul?

Ask a believer what he wants from God and watch him shrink before your eyes. he wants his back to stop hurting. but this is a man who has never once considered that the thing he is addressing built galaxies and carved the inside of a seashell nobody would ever open. real faith is believing he can outdo your dreams so completely that your dreams become embarrassing

Where does most of the darkness in the world come from? it comes from trying to snuff out the light in children. it comes from treating them like cattle to be herded and controlled and put to some fucking use. remember Jesus said the light belongs to them

God only visits the bottom because the top is already occupied by demons who think they're gods

What choice do you have but to interpret it as anything else but a gift?

Flirting with life is a skill. the guy who whistles walking down the street, compliments the cashier, makes the whole room laugh, treats every stranger like someone worth knowing — that guy never struggles. warmth is the most underrated form of power there is.

Everybody wants to be enlightened, nobody wants to do the fucking dishes. the highest thing you can be as a human being is not the thing you understood, it's the thing you did. some guy who can't spell his own name right but built a house with his two hands that actually stands is closer to God than any man who read a thousand books and never moved his thumb for anyone else. not because he prayed because he made a thing exist that didn't exist before, and that's what God did, and that's all anybody is asking you to do

Blessed are those who have dreams so big that in their pursuit they perish.

Most scientists are seekers of science, not seekers of truth.

If the world gets darker and dumber, and your response is to match it, to curse at it, to become obsessed with how right you are about how bad it is, you’ve already handed over the one thing it wanted from you. you don't protect your sanity by fighting the madness. you protect it by refusing to let it have your mornings, your sundays, the way you sit with a friend saying nothing. the world does not need your opinion about how lost it is. it knows. what it needs is somebody still saying grace before a meal while the kitchen burns

[Valay Kumar Jain @valay_73]

"Love yourself, be yourself" is a limited possibility.

No matter how 'great' you become, you will still be encircled by your biology and history.

Give up your sense of self.

Let the highest intelligence function from within you.

Then and only then will you truly be free.

Attention is the true currency of life.
More importantly, it is also the key to the universe.

A good book or poem is never understood in one read. Its meaning is unfolded gradually throughout one’s entire lifetime.

Wonderful news, me and other Europeans can finally immigrate to Bangladesh

To predict the next dominant societal philosophy, just measure the depth of the technological disruption preceding it. Every major shift breaks something and then ideology rushes in to patch what was lost.

For example, the printing press broke the Church's monopoly on truth and Protestantism patched it. The Industrial Revolution broke guild identity and Marxism and nationalism patched that.

AI is breaking more than we have words for yet. Nothing out there is big enough to patch what is breaking. We'll need something new.

Use your own systems so that no one else can use you.
