Someone here

Yes but on YouTube you talk to a camera and read comments from random Internet strangers . On the blog you share insights in written form. AND THAT'S IT. BUT On the forum you interact with the same people( mostly)everyday. And this should mean this forum is not for chit chatting(there is a section for that )Like when will we completey break the ice completey and take this forum to the next level and our communication with you to the next level ?

Maybe yes ..maybe no . Get to the point already.

And I'm saying they are not referring to the same thing . Like Google it. Nirvana is a Sanskrit word which means ultimate permanent happiness. That's the goal of Buddhists. .to achieve nirvana which means ultimate permanent happiness..not God. God is an entity that is the creator of everything and is omnipotent..omniscient..and eternal..not Nrivana . Buddha said there is no such thing as god as that definition above . And his second opinion is even if there is a God it doesn't matter ..what matters is achieving nirvana .because Buddha said life is suffering which is the first noble truth . Why ? Because three things : disease..Old age ..death . And you will keep being born and die and born die endlessly unless you detach completely and attain enlightenment and then you exit samsara and be in nirvana forever. Nothing to do with God existing or not .Buddha doesn't even care about whether there is a god or not . Please try to understand. If you don't believe me then do the research.

Bro ..go suffer.

@Sempiternity the reason you "the ego " can't understand it is because Love is when you totally let go and surrender everything. Surrender your life .when I say "Surrender everything " I mean Surrender everything. Not just Surrender your goals and dreams ..Surrender your home ..Surrender your family ..Surrender your body ..leave your home and live in a cave not knowing how are you going to get food today . Stop acting like you are worth a fart or you know anything or that anything matters or that you can't just die now and face what you don't want to face..death . If your body were thrown in hell you will be in pain if you identify with the Body. But if you identify with the body and the hell then there is no problem. You care about things because your human self is limited .God is unlimited and unconditional..he doesn't care about anything. That's what love .Leo doesn't embody Love because he is still alive and eats and sleeps and makes money and talk. Love is death of you . You get it now why you "the ego " can't get it ?

Muslims do not fuck goats. Get your information straight before posting misinformation.

@Miguel1 he erased "you are Leo " from the signature.

@Leo Gura Leo..a question please : And I don't know why you do this but when i compare your blog posts with your forum posts ..two different persons. ..you're watering yourself down for us to understand you ? We can understand you .the Miguel1 guy is falling in love with you ..many people here post way more impressive high quality posts than you ..I'm not saying you should throw word salady nerdy terms to sound deep. But I'm just wondering why you do this ? You remember Nahm ? That guy is very worth his salt about spirituality and he has "angel heart " a good person..(I understand unbanning him is undoubtedly undoable) but I don't like taking about "lizards ". Dude ..post blog post's type of posts on the forum .

@Lunatic Nirvana is not God .enough blending fish with oats and creating a raspberry pie . During Buddha’s liftime the hindus believed in gods and attributed to "Brahman" all godly qualities. When buddha was asked if he considers himself god he cleary said no. When he was asked does God exist he clearly said this question is a waste of time . Buddha taught groundless. this means no functioning object can endure for a second moment of its own accord. therefore there is no such thing as an unchanging ...selfsupporting functioning God which exists somewhere.

Which is what mohamed did as well . He awoke ..then praised God..then said fuck God cuz I'm God so let's play the game .

1-it doesn't matter because after the hustle and bustle there is no mohamed. he is in your head.mohamed is nothing he is imaginary. (Then why am I writing this ? Because I want to). 2- more down to earth historical perspective that assumes there is an objective world and a past (it's getting autistic no?😁)..yes legit enlightened. Even conscious of "God " .. people here shit on "enlightenment " and call it old school. The Quran mentions the word "God" almost in every other sentence .the most sacred text in the world with the word "God"( Allah in Arabic) mentioned in it. And if you listen to it in Arabic it's like poetry. Incredibly soothing and melodic. Now mohamed was illiterate..he couldn't write or read .. then all the sudden he composed a symphonic work of literature saying God is all powerful God is all knowing God is real ....out his arse ? 3- so definitely he's battling on the GOAT title with Christ and Buddha. Second biggest religion in the world is Islam after Christianity .and if you want to get real ..the west doesn't take Christianity seriously anyways anymore ..I mean people shag each other's on the beach so come on. So when you cancel out people who make tattoos of the cross on their "private parts ".. You cancel out a huge amount of people actually which makes islam actually the biggest religion in the world ..not Christianity . Muslims take their religion more seriously. 4- but what about the terrorism..what about the quranic verses that commands to kill non Muslims ..Muhammad was a pedophile..No profanity here ..it's literally historically documented that he married a 6 years old girl and had vaginal intercourse with her when she was 9 yo. He killed ..he had sex slaves ..etc ....so what's up with this? Simply..he basically decided to play the egoic game since ultimately he realized he is Allah and he can do whatever he wants . After he gained power he started attacking and waging wars and commanding "The lesser Jihad " by spreading the message of Islam with force and fight. (Because he wanted to)✌. .

No obviously "pleasant" is subjective. A masochist enjoys torture.

That's me years ago . Yes there is hope .I'm completely free of anxiety and panic attacks after suffering with it for years . Over the 2021 year ..I suffered from crazy panic attacks .and I made few posts about it here on the forum . I tried therapy of course. I saw a psychiatrist and he prescribed me some SSRI’S. Namely Prozac..Invega... and zyprexa. They have some nasty side effects (dry mouth ..needing to pee constantly. erectile dysfunction and lack of sexual interest). But they are 100% worth it . What SSRIs you take? Also you want to eat food that helps the brain to release feeling good chemicals (serotonin..dopamine etc). Like fish ..vegetables. you have anxiety about swallowing food or you have low appetite? Please clarify which one is it .. why do you throw up? The psychological aspect is not less important. What I did is I tried a meditation technique by watching the space between thoughts I" invented" this technique myself. What this meditation technique does is it blocks away the whole story of your past and the whole story about your future. And makes you 100% grounded in the present moment. And there is no anxiety to be found in the present. Anxiety is always about what's gone and what's coming. So when you block away every single thought about your history and your future and just stay with what's present...you will feel safe and secure.

Your OP and title aren't related ..and no deal with it because Buddha didn't say anything about God . Buddha denied all of Hindu gods and goddesses. He rejected all of Hindu religion and went to seek enlightenment on his own.and specifically seeking liberation from suffering ..not the truth or some answers to existential questions. He actually teaches to his students that the question of God is totally irrelevant and not important and that they should seek the end of suffering instead and that talking about God is philosophical luxury. He didn't prove that the Hindu gods don't exist but he said they are not eternal. They are within samsara (the cycle of rebirth) just like humans . This is a quote from some blog online: "It is said that soon after his enlightenment the Buddha passed a man on the road who was struck by the Buddha’s extraordinary radiance and peaceful presence. The man stopped and asked, ~~~ My friend, what are you? Are you a celestial being or a god? No said the Buddha Well, then, are you some kind of magician or wizard? again the Buddha answered No Are you a man? No Well, my friend, then what are you? the Buddha replied I am awake ".

Things just have properties and qualities. Like I'm talking physics wise. There are essential qualities like mass or electrical charge and there are derivative qualities like weight or sharpness or texture which are relative . Like I like women with modest makeup but you like glamorous flashy makeup because of genetics and hormones and chemicals in the brain and stuff like that. If you're asking but why is this way in the sense why is sugar sweet? Or why is sweetness sweet ? No idea mate .

@James123 she's saying it's double standards . You have to apply the nondoership thing to others as well . Its not just your body that has no self inside of it.. but everyone are equally empty shelves.

OK I understand. I'm not a nihilist myself. And I'm not talking about existential nihilism.. the subset that deals with the question of meaning and purpose. You are mixing things .

you know exactly what's going on with him and what he is all about.

You see how this statement can be read in two different ways ?

@VeganAwake I think the inquiry might start from that death anxiety but there is an answer .so it's not just wishful thinking .yes the body will die in no time..but you are settling for this?

😂

@Joseph Maynor the statement makes no sense . Do you not see ?

To assume you have no ego and are unconditioned...is ..a red flag ?

Why ?

Which is why I live alone and only visit my family here and there . I mean they are totally lost in the circus of life and I'm drifting in Nirvana with Buddha or Smth lol..the communication between me and them has devolved to very low levels.its just we are not clicking anymore ..it doesn't work the bottom line is they are a bunch of idiots Idc about their human bullshit. It's like 2026 so common lol. ..isolation is required for classy minds and deep souls . 😋
