I think it's a good question. I've also notice this. Some seem to have a problem free life and are thankful, but then again, nobody knows. At least they seems to have smaller egos than others.

All things can happen. The sport is to not attach to any of it

Stop. Put your mind aside for 10 seconds and listen. Relax and see that life is a process, you will never reach the end!

You have already started, congratulations! And the path is completely up to you but there are things that boost your confidence and can help you move on. Meditation, workout, healthy food and read books you find interesting. These things should always be a part of your life if you ask me. So start with one of these things and make it a habit.

@aurum For men I think it is a good idea to keep it in when it comes to orgasm. But how does this apply for women?

Never saw this guy before. Great post!

Buddha said: "Don't listen to anyone. Not even me" So... Back to square one: it's up to you

Congratulations!

Detachement is not the same as living without things and love needs practice. The thoughts about things being difficult is the thing that stops us from detach. But don't stress too much about it, it will be alright!

Magic everywhere. What ever happens you will learn from it. If you have goals and dreams this can be one of the paths to get there. I don't know what Leo talked about, but living life like that is amazing as long as you are not attached to whatever happens. If PD is important to you, then you have to have extra discipline. To much attachment can be a problem but if you guys are healthy, this can help you grow! After all.. it's all about being true to yourself. Balance is key

I think you need a couple of bad ones before you know what you want. For me it is all about expressing deep love (incl. sex), growth, fun, dreams, goals and to Give. Always strive for improvement in every area of life and share the same mystic and magic view about life. I think I've met a person who shares the exact same values and is also willing to support me 100%. For me it is all about being happy FIRST before you meet someone. And in the end it's not about me, it's what I give.

Weird. I totally agree with you. There's so many juice details missing in this story!

Being doesn't mean sitting still and doing nothing. Action will always be taken as long as you are a human body. Let the action happen and don't think that if you take action you miss being. If you feel that you need to do something but suppress it because of "being is better", you are denying yourself with thought. Meditation definitely helps removing thoughts about what you should or shouldn't do.

Dare to always follow that intuition because there's no point arguing what is. Just let it happen. Don't ask questions. Meditation increase the volume of that "voice"

This! They take action all the time and always strive for goals. But in the end they will find out that growth is not the answer. Being is the answer to everything! If people seems to grow fast then you should now that they will never come to the finish line if they ignore Truth.

Fantastic poem! Thank you for sharing. Much love.

Mushroom could be a good start that can help you

If you want something, do it! Your ego created this thread <3 Test it out, do stuff and if it feels good just continue.

Because the body prepare itself for dying! And when it survives it comes as a relief. Unconsciously we wan't to die because otherwise we wouldn't have taken those risks!

This thought have definitely arisen before Enlightenment doesn't stop you from anything

Always? Nothing is ever permanent. But for maybe the upcoming 100-500 or maybe 1000 years it will all change again, for the worse or the better. If you want that to change you have to do something but complaining <3

Nothing will happen <3

Welcome! The absolut best way to explore the ego is to know yourself. And where does it come from? I believe the story of the ego started with the first human being. I can write you a lot about ego but the final point is that it is an illusion. Trying to understand ego intellectually is not going anywhere. As long as you're attached to it, it stands for all the suffering in the world. Leo have videos about ego on youtube. Check there. But really... you should definitely explore the illusion by yourself with meditation.

Truth is that reality is just an illusion. BUT apparently we can have a discussions. Apparently we have feelings and apparently we can choose to make people feel good or bad. Buddha or not, it's completely up to you.
