Control sounds dangerously close to oppression , to me . There is this thing in similarity between dealing with children , dealing with yourself , drives and emotions etc and dealing with a skidding motorcycle Sometimes trying to 'control ' things makes it worse . I'd say subtle persuasion, at the best ...... things may arise , be felt .... but in my view its the 'output' or end result that is important , Once , someone to me ; '' But, why are you not jealous ? '' '' Oh, I am .... but thats for me to deal with .... internally , I dont see what yelling, stamping my feet or being violent would achieve , except making me feel worse about that later . ''

I wish I could post the film .... if you were a little mouse and big cat was hassling you .... where to hide ? On the cat ( sometimes the too obvious works ) a friend showed me this on her phone ..... very fluffy cat is 'playing' with a mouse , mouse manages to escape and hide , but where ? Cat looks around, side to side .... no mouse , huh ? Where did he go . Then on the film you hear friend say '' Its on your shoulder ! '' and you can notice a grey lump in the thick hair of fluffy cat . cat turns its head backwards and sees it ... oh man, the look on the cats face ! but that causes mousy to burrow in deeper . The follows an hilarious visual of frantic cat acrobatics , shaking, flipping cartwheels, high jumps, legs and tail going everywhere . '' Get im off getim off !

That whole work of his is not a scientific treatise , its a philosophical one ... he was a philosophy as well as a 'cat supposer ' Was you question ; if consciousness is generated from 'one ' how do different people seem so different in consciousness ? Obviously than, its the instruments using the same thing / energy not that the enrgy is the 'instrument ' consciousness is not the instrument , it is what 'activates' the instrument . OR you could see each 'instrument' as a lens or facet of the one illumination

'During that time' was before the Romans ever existed ! That was already explained to you , dont you even read people's responses to you ? And dont respond to this as I will not interact with you more here , as its clear you want to do in this thread , what you have done in other threads on Daobums .... whatever your motivations are for that !

< sniff sniff > ... I smell something suspect here . I did enjoy reading it but then decided to check one random statement - the claim about what Erwin Schrodinger said ; '' "The total number of minds in the universe is one. In fact, consciousness is a singularity phasing within all beings." - who said this ? AI says Schrodinger . But if you put the question the other way around and ask if Schrodinger actually did say it ? ''No, the exact quote is not from Erwin Schrödinger, although he did write similar ideas in his philosophical essays, particularly Mind and Matter. He wrote, "The total number of minds in the universe is one" and that "consciousness is never experienced in the plural, only in the singular". However, the popular version includes the phrase "In fact, consciousness is a singularity phasing within all beings," which is not a direct quote. '' ... 'cause there aint no such thing as a 'singularity phasing ' or the person who made the quote up used bad punctuation https://skeptics.stackexchange.com/questions/47487/did-erwin-schrödinger-say-there-is-only-one-mind-in-the-universe I found the passage in his writing that relates to this, in a way ... although it does not say this - he also said ''This is religion not science . '' (he was an Advaita Hindu ) - I wont be checking the rest .... a shame the author didnt do more research (it took me 12 seconds to check ) because now his whole article is suspect .

Crowley advocated it as a remedy to 'spiritual pride' ; AI Overview Aleister Crowley wrote that laughter is a remedy against spiritual pride because the "bitter earnestness of the man amid the grim humour" of the world is mocking and that "the Powers of Good themselves seem to indulge" in it . He believed that the "irony of the whole strife" could be seen through the mockery, making it a useful tool against spiritual pride. The mockery and the irony in life are fascinating aspects of the human experience, according to Crowley. He believed that these feelings can be overwhelming and that laughter is a necessary tool to keep things in perspective, particularly when dealing with spiritual matters. He noted that a certain "grim humour" or "cacchination" (loud, boisterous laughter) exists in the world, and that even "the Powers of Good" seem to share in the mockery, which is what makes the whole strife so ironic. Crowley saw this irony as a way to combat spiritual pride, as it brings the individual back to a sense of humility and perspective Next time I am called out on my 'bad sense of humor ' I shall explain how I am only following the example of the Universe .
