  1. I thought I was the man to go for truth. I thought I was the coolest guy. I thought I was a hero. Turns out I'm not. I'm not that special. All of the people in this world are awakening and I was selfish and egotistical. It's funny... I thought I would be thhe cool guy but I'm not at all.ci thought I was right.... But I'm not at all. What the duck was wrong with me? I guess.... I learn and learn and understand
  2. When I say be yourself.... I don't mean that in a conventional way where most people say "be yourself" in a foolish way. That's pretty fucking dumb to tell someone to be themselves... When they the,selves don't know shit about themselves... I meant being emlightened. Because when you become enlightened.... And become truth.... The universe.....I believe.... (It's all my bullshit thoughts and stupid beliefs) you can express yourself in the most feminine way possible... Because naturally you are a women. You are born to be feminine. You are born to express your body in a way to communicate with others in the most helpful and effective way. So you use your greatest strength which is to be feminine. So be yourself.... Which means be enlightened
  3. Really, just be enlightened... It's not about being feminine. It's about being yourself. What are you going to do with being "feminine" but you ain't yourself? But to be yourself.... Takes something special
  4. do you sit, and your butt gets pressed a lot? Just sit in a different position
  5. Are all knowledge.... Conceptualized? Then what is realization of who you are? If that is not knowledge.... Then what is it?
  6. Hey Leo.... Isn't there a difference between, realizing truth, and being truth?
  7. That is why enlightened masters told us we live in fake worlds. In our mental projections that is. It creates suffering for us. I did that too. And it felt awesome. It's like focusing on what you see. Often being what you see right? with throwing away my mental projections by focusing on one of the senses made me more confident around people to talk to because I no longer had any mental projections of how I should interact with people. And it was so natural!!!! This could be the answer for instant results for not caring what others think of us
  8. Knowing who you really are... And being yourself. But the funny thing is ... People say who you really are is the source. But it has to be realized... Not known logically. And it takes time to be it too. Jesus said he himself was God, or son of God. So he seemed to be himself. cause really.... What do you really want more? If this happens to me.... It's my greatest gift. How are you going to live if you can't be yourself? Are you going to be something else rather than yourself the rest of your life? its not about being "enlightened". It's about truth, who you are....etc. and what you really are is true... It can't be false would it? So we also combine it with truth. Or or losing all attachments. Really, your body, the world, because the world cannot be reliable for you to be happy. It will never satisfy you. Why would you want to be unsatisfied?
  9. Hey. So.... Do you think there is a difference between knowing truth, and becoming truth? Knowing God and being God.
  10. I was curious..... Do we feel the emotions somewhere in the heart area? Is that just an illusion I adopted as a kid? i just realized... It's not that I have an emotion in my heart.... That it could be a reaction to my thoughts. It's what my body is reacting to my ego. so when. I was depressed... It was hard to breathe. It's not the fault of the body having feeling bad somewhere in the heart. The body was just reacting to my thoughts! Reacting to me. Reacting to how much "I" was fulfilled or unfulfilled. The body spirit changes in chemistry and caused me to have a hard time to breathe. So even emotions.... Are not the body... But in the head? so when the cave people in the past was angry at the animal they wanted to kill... Was it the ego of the body? The body can think? Thus creating emotion itself?
  11. I tried to insult my teacher. To see if they have an ego.
  12. Hey... A wise person told me... That positivity is negativity is non existent he said exactly....having beautiful decorations in your house is great. But if you still have a dozen trash in your house, You should realize.... That you still have the dozen trashes in your house. Your house will still stink for you and even for your guest. You want your bowl empty (credit to Lao try) so when we hit the bowl.... It can make a beautiful sound. If there are dark rocks in the bowl....thhe bowl will not make any beautiful sound when hit. Even if there are pure white rocks in the bowl..... The sound will still not be as beautiful when hit. The point im saying is find a person that has his bowl empty. His mind being lighter than anyone. now that's a big challenge. But I suggest that empty person won't find you if your bowl is full of rocks. So I believe changing ourselves... Is he most important
  13. @Ayla is it awareness? I called it awareness.
  14. 1. i think I now understand the importance of knowing why we the egoes "must" be destroyed.... The buddha keeps calling us a fool. Now I understand why we are fools. We believe suffering will never come to us. So we cling to our objects thinking it will give us pleasure long. It does.... We feel pleasure.... Just like kids playing with our toys.... It's very pleasurable....... No hardship.... Until we go to school.... We begin to have problems. But pleasure never lasts, it never does. It Will never ever last long. Even the earth and the universe. but to cling to our bodies.... Is surely foolish. That's why the Buddha emphasizes the importance of losing our body, the world. It is we that cling to the world and the body. It is us, it is not the problem of the universe. We keep blaming the universe, body, our lack of money.... Etc.... But yet we never look at our selves to see that it is use that clings to these things. We are clinging to them... And that we are blaming that which is lost. We intuitively know everything will be lost.... But we still cling to them. Good example.... A disciplined person. Eating healthy, good to people. Loving, work hard, great relationships, great heart, ... He goes to the doctor because of a sore stomach. The doctor says he has cancer. He says "me? Why me? I work hard, I'm kind, good to people, I have a great heart, I excercise and eat healthy. Why me?" That person is still foolish. It clearly shows that he always believed that his body will never break down if he eats healthy... When actually the it is a natural process of the law of the universe to things to be born and die. So even though he had done healthy things.... And was "kind" to people. He is still foolish to have believed that even his cared body will now betray his belief. But I'm not criticizing his care for health.... But all I'm criticizing is his belief that he will never suffer for clinging to the body. whats wrong with clinging to the earth? Well even the earth will be destroyed. Even the whole galaxy.... And nothing will be left. Which is nothingness we are going for. I believe.
  15. Have you come to a conclusion for this question?
  16. Socrates... Said he didn't know anything. Well.. Did the Buddha know anything? I think Buddhas on the contrary really knew stuff.
  17. Stev jobs is not awakened.. But I really admire his work for the world.. Really in my heart. Without him... We would never be writing on our computers this elegantly and simply. jobs was zen .... He was passionate about helping others
  18. Yeah..... It's really scary. Where do they come from.... It's like a world where it's near us.... But we're so so so unbelievably blind to it. It feels like everything really do... Happen for a reason. Coincidence and luck is not real?
  19. The fool who knows he is a fool... Is that much wiser.. The fool that thinks he is wise... Is a fool indeed -Gautama buddha
  20. Imagine an apple and an elephant. Can you? Good. Now.. Make the elephant eat the apple. Good Where is the apple?
