So I've thought a lot about emotions. Why certain thoughts/actions etc. feel good and others bad? Why is there emotions in the first place? I've come to a conclusion that perhaps emotions are like a compass, sort of a navigation system. An emotion which you percieve as positive, tells you when the present thought/belief/action is resonating, or in accordance of your true self, of who you want to be. Emotions you percieve as negative, tells you that the thought/belief/action is not resonating/in accordance of your true self, or the greater idea of who you want to be. A feeling percieved as positive speaks of harmony. A feeling percieved as negative speaks of disharmony. Maybe truth is not some statement, concept or a thing you can 'find', but a feeling, or recognized by feeling. Any thoughts/perspectives on this?

I've wanted to cry for a long time but it just doesn't happen. It sucks. Any tips? Psychedelics are not an option right now.

I saw a video of someone saying something like "Have you heard of the meditation where you breathe out all that's negative and breathe in all that's good? Well, this is actually a watered down version of certain way more powerful buddhist meditation. This was done because the original was too powerful for most people." The meditation is called Tonglen. Here's a quote from the Wikipedia article, by Pema Chödrön: "On the in-breath, you breathe in whatever particular area, group of people, country, or even one particular person... maybe it’s not this more global situation, maybe it’s breathing in the physical discomfort and mental anguish of chemotherapy; of all the people who are undergoing chemotherapy. And if you’ve undergone chemotherapy and come out the other side, it’s very real to you. Or maybe it’s the pain of those who have lost loved ones; suddenly, or recently, unexpectedly or over a long period of time, some dying. But the in-breath is... you find some place on the planet in your personal life or something you know about, and you breathe in with the wish that those human beings or those mistreated animals or whoever it is, that they could be free of that suffering, and you breathe in with the longing to remove their suffering. And then you send out – just relax out... send enough space so that peoples’ hearts and minds feel big enough to live with their discomfort, their fear, their anger or their despair, or their physical or mental anguish. But you can also breathe out for those who have no food and drink, you can breathe out food and drink. For those who are homeless, you can breathe out/send them shelter. For those who are suffering in any way, you can send out safety, comfort. So in the in-breath you breathe in with the wish to take away the suffering, and breathe out with the wish to send comfort and happiness to the same people, animals, nations, or whatever it is you decide. Do this for an individual, or do this for large areas, and if you do this with more than one subject in mind, that’s fine… breathing in as fully as you can, radiating out as widely as you can." So basically, you breathe in anothers suffering and misery, and breathe out love, healing, happiness. I've done this a few times now, just for a couple of minutes, and I can say that this is extremely powerful. I absolutely encourage everyone to try this!

Leo, if he had hair.

Keep looking at the snake. Of course there is no beginning. That's what self-creation means. Nobody is talking about a reason or a mechanism. Nothing = Self-Creation = Love No mechanism.

Nope. It's Positive/Good. I was asking this because I had a hunch that you don't understand the reason why people call it Love. Like you said, it is fundamental to understand that the territory is not this or that - it's absolute. And this is precisely why it's Love. Here's the simplest way I can think of to point at why the territory is Love/Positive/Good: This symbol is called Ouroboros. It represents the universe. YOU. It is not - nor is it -/+ (neutral). It's a +. A big fucking +. Infinite +. Why? Because it is ITSELF! It creates itself! See, how could it be anything else than Positive? You/Truth is Love because you are it! You create the Truth. That's why it's Perfect! Infinite +! Love! "Just what it is" = Positive, Good, Love.

@Someone here Let me ask you this: is the territory Positive, Negative or Neutral? Is it Good, Bad or Neutral?

NOOM

Exactly. LOVE!

Gandhi, maybe? I think he is healthy blue with a visionary aspect.

@Nahm I have a question. In Conversations with God, God says "The game would be over if you remembered everything. You came here for a particular reason, and your Divine Purpose would be thwarted if you understood how everything is put together. Some things will always remain a mystery at this level of consciousness, and it is right that they should. So do not try to solve all the mysteries. Not at one time, anyway. Give the universe a chance. It will unfold itself in due course. Enjoy the experience of becoming." Do you mean by "awakening" the 'full remembering' and 'the end of the game'? Would you say that you have 'fully remebered' or are you still 'becoming'? Somehow I feel like there shouldn't be an 'end' to awakening, or remembering. Isn't awakening infinite, always deeper, always more?

Or maybe you are still in that dream, but thinking you 'woke up' to 'actual reality'

Sadhguru talks about "intoxicants" at 46:30

I think Sadhguru is just not familiar with psychedelics. It might also be that he knows he has a lot of influence and he doesn't want to encourage people to use "drugs", since many people don't know the difference between psychedelics, opioids, amphetamines etc. My bet is that he just doesn't know what he is talking about. Petition: make Sadhguru take DMT, live on youtube.

Trump would have won. Bernie is way too progressive for US today. Some Trump supporters actually believe that Biden is just a puppet and Bernie & AOC are secretly pulling the strings to make US socialist. Can't make this shit up

Trumpism is "censored" because it's fucking ridiculous and dangerous. I've explored Qanon with an open mind and let me tell you, it's all complete bullshit. What the fuck are you talking about? People vote for Trump because they are stupid & unconscious. If someone votes Trump because "trumpism in being censored" or because they believe in Qanon, they are fucking stupid. This is not rocket science.

@Danioover9000 I have no idea what a spirit is. I don't even know what human beings are. But if I had to make a guess, I'd say all beings are reflections. Just like in a mirror.

What is a "difference"?

Ask her "what is a spirit?"

Wait so when I imagine and hold true that other POVs exist, they literally exist? And when I don't, they stop existing, or never existed in the first place. So I am unlimited, able to make reality anything I could possibly want it to be. So it's not solipsism, but being literally unlimited single entity. It's not a cage where I'm stuck being alone, but an infinite unlimited imagination of everything I can possibly want, even the experience of being together.

@Loving Radiance To be honest, I would be terrified if it actually worked.

Wait, why don't we just add "world peace" and "the end of hunger" to our boards and save the world?

What the fuck
