@StephenK Two of my teachers are here, @Faceless and @Leo Gura. Also my friends @tsuki and @Prabhaker are here who are very insightful as well. That's the main reason, but I'm also here to ask question, but these days all treads turn out the same after a few pages, no matter what OP is like. It become a non dual war after 15-20 post in any of my threads I noticed. It's sad in a way, but also a little bit entertaining, it has pros and cons to it. Some interesting people here. I like most of them, but we shouldn't backstab each other that much. We should be friends I think. I had huge fight with @egoeimai, it was ugly how we treated each other, but now we are friends. At the moment I have an enemy in @Outer, we can be real mean both of us. He is nasty in a more explicit way and I am mean in a more subtle way, but we are both equally stupid with each other. But maybe we become friends in future. I miss the reputation point system, I would like to have it back, and also notifications when someone answering your posts.

I feel hurt by @Prabhaker But that is necessary pain, notice how he use the word 'my' and not 'your'. That's how humble he is when teaching a tough lesson.

@Saumaya .

Exciting, never heard of him/her, I'll check it out. Thank you.

@LiakosN Tnx! Love Barry Long!

This is the path of faceless, the faceless-path, which is a no-path in a way, because it's so simple, it's so direct and so effective! * Spend time on you own, in solitude. Get to know yourself, and see that knowing yourself is equal to knowing God. * Interact with nature, animals and humans. Just interact with ordinary people, discuss life in an innocent and joyful creative way, and be equal with anyone, don't seek out for authority in others or in yourself This is all you need to walk the faceless path. Simpler then simple! Namaste.

Haha, ok, sorry! I'm happy it was just for that moment. You better never leave us, always nice hear your angle of the things we discuss here.

At first when contemplating existential matters it seem like complete non existence would be more plausible then existence. But imagine non existence is truly impossible. And contemplating further one might see that existence has no flip side, there is no way non existence can be. Five statements come to my mind, I don't claim they are true or anything, but they might be, is there anyway we can prove or experience that not all of them are true? (1) Existence must be, and cannot cease to be(because non existence is not possible) (2) Everything in existence is ultimately and forever groundless (3) Existence is forever mysterious (4) Everything in existence is forever interdependent (5) It couldn't, can't and will never be in any other way (refers to the four statements above)

@Quanty Great, Quick and thoughtful answer.

Just hard for me to wrap my mind around! Great episode btw.

I guess you are right. Or not. I don't know any more. Yesterday Leo wrote something about evil that rang so true, the very next minute someone else wrote something that contradicted him that rang equally true. Feel like no end to these general questions. Philosophy feels like a dead end, too many angles to it, that is equally right. Maybe one should respond to situation in the most conscious way, one time one approach is better, the next time something else. Sometime in thread I just see all the attacks, all disagreeing, without see that anyone is wrong really. Maybe truth, whatever that is, change the way feelings do, there are happy, angry, peaceful, blissful, hateful none of them more true then the other ones. I will stay away from general discussion I think, and only discuss topics linked to some current happening in the world or in my life.

Sometimes music gives us pieces of truths.. "Stop watching the news Because the news contrives to frighten you To make you feel small and alone To make you feel that your mind isn't your own"

Is this true, or is it just alt right BS and stupid white supremacism?

@pluto True! Thanks man, always a pleasure to read your posts here. Nothing trigger dark energy in you, kinda cool. Namaste.

No matter if @AleksM is right or wrong, don't you see his post comes from positive energy. He share something he found with joy and love. Can't you be humble with people. You are free to attack me if you like, I'm indifferent to it, but what if others aren't? PM me if you like to discuss something, whatever that bothers you? Everyone deserve emotional and mental stability. I have no aversion against you, but please don't attack, judge or be harsh with people. It quickly poisoning the whole forum. As soon as you start being polite with others I start following you again, you deserve more then 3 inactive followers after all those 1700 posts of yours and two years of activity here.

Why is Leos approach wrong? He is not naive, he admits suffering going on, he just don't judge it. Why do you have to judge it into evil and create unnecessary duality/separation. Everyone act according to their level of consciousness, low consciousness don't know it creates suffering to itself and others. We see that suffering but we don't lable it. Why is it so important to label suffering into illusionary concepts like evil ?

Fair enough!

Yes, but "evil" is a two sided coin, there is no evil in the world from an absolute perspective, that's where you should be grounded(as you are) that will bring everlasting peace that's unshakeable. But this is one side of the coin, we must be nuanced and not just cling to one side. There are tremendously suffering and evil going on in the world. And to adress that properly you must know both side of the coin.

In retrospect, humans will be a short evolutionary parentheses in history (although time doesn't exist). There is only an eternal "now", and humans will not be in that "now" for much longer (reference to time again, which doesn't exist, but you can read between the lines) How do you think God, hence we(We are god, the one being) are going to get rid of them, the humans? What do you think 'we' will come up with in order to eliminate them? Do you think God(us) will let the entire planet be destroyed or do 'we' pick something less dramatic then destroying the whole planet? After all. cats are very cute, 'we' don't want to kill them in the process, do 'we'?

Haha, I love you! I haven't had a good laugh like that for a long time! Probably because you somewhat hit the nail. Also, it's funny because you remind me of my conspiracy theory days when I say strategy, manipulation ego and agenda in everything. Lol, that was funny. You're a smart dude, with a sharp eye for the mechanics behind social interactions. I really think this guy is right and that he DO has a sober approach to this whole thing. But was that the reason why I quoted him? Or did I feel that my 'agenda' was threatened in some way by Anna, Etagnwo, Outer? Hm, not sure, Probably the latter. @Etagnwo - @MarkusSweden = 1 - 0

Great idea! the thread has derailed, we better go back on track. Besides, you sum it up very well what this whole thread is about! Thanks!

+1, you have a very sober approach to this whole thing!

He is very special, and you are right in some sense, and he just repeat everything he says, like a parrot. "Movement of thought" and stuff like that. Just be indifferent to what you don't like and pick up that which you do like, because I think there might be some good stuff. Here's a few things about faceless that I love. *He has a VERY interesting background, I doubt anyone have lived a similar life, just that makes it worth listening to him. (I will not tell you what I know though, since he told me in private) *He has some subtle humor that he mix into his teachings, that makes it very enjoyable, he provoke people, but not to be mean, he has pure intentions. He is very good at understanding people. *He actually is enlightened or at least is VERY meditative in a natural way, I doubt he do meditations, he is meditation. *If we are tolerant with him, I think he is one of few very good pointers, if not the best. Just adopt his style and go along with his humor. He makes fun of enlightenment at the same time that he embrace it, it's subtle, see for yourself. *This guy has been beyond language for LONG time, again, his life is very special, could be a book. We shouldn't pick on him for his way to express himself, or his broken English(mine is worse), rather we should embrace his unique way.

Wisdom of elephant!

99% of my PM's are VERY friendly and you know it. I never attack anyone in any thread out of thin air, if someone does that to me I might ask them in a PM instead of embarrassing them in public. I mean, what are you doing here if you're only interested in attacks? Look at @Faceless, he goes on day after day to share his insights and help people wake up, and all you do is attacking him. Have you seen him once do the same? Come on, this is self improvement, not an ego contest. Sometimes it feels like the forum is an inversion of its own purpose thanks to people like you. This should be a joyful journey, look at all the cute animals in this thread, see the positive. Enlightenment is the greatest thing that can happen to you. I don't like you at all, (I don't think anyone do) but I love you so so so SO much. Why do I love you so much? That's one of the benefits with enlightenment, you start to love everyone and everything. The bliss of enlightenment is huge, I really recommend you to do the work. Namaste.
