Ok. I guess God is also an illusion.

We tend to want things a certain way or have in our minds ideas about how life should be VS how it is. When it doesn't turn out the way we think it should, we get depressed or anxious about it and create all sorts of tug and war frictions within ourselves. It's rampant and we all do this to a certain degree but some more than others. I see how we are able to create a world from all these ways of being and how the timelines just keep getting constructed and constructed over and over again. We identify something as a problem. We try to fix it. Society already has in place the resources to go to for these infinite problems. I'm referring to the more psychological ones, not how to fix a car. Then those resources e,g therapists, coaches, books etc gives one a place in society and for people to look to to fix their problems they created by thinking it's a problem to begin with. They call it problematic because they don't like the way it makes them feel. All needs to be done, is allow for the feeling to be there and realize it's a part of life. Maybe by supper time, the feeling will be gone. Seeing it as a problem, and the storyline attached to the feeling is how the construction gets started and now we need to hire and bring in the help needed to help build on it. It's amazing to watch how human behavior is and how the individual is kind of creating their life story without them realizing how their doing this. One might say they don't like how they react to a certain situation but instead of just seeing it for what it is and moving on, they want to try and fix themselves so they don't react that way again so they won't have those feelings because it brought them shame or guilt or they felt a way that wasn't welcomed. Now, the goal is to find a therapist or aide of some kind that can help identify the problem by a made-up name that we invented and try to find a solution to a made-up problem. It's mind-blowing to me when I see how the world recreates itself through this human dilemma of problem solving and how it seems to be the driving force for this so-called contraction of energies that have believed itself to be someone with a life and a life that needs to be a certain way. I'm not exempt from this either even though with me, it's not as rampant because I don't tend to make too many issues a problem. I am not chasing certain feelings and whatever feelings arises, arises. No need to try and fix myself to feel a certain way over another way. I don't see life as this is wrong or bad but different. Obviously not speaking about crimes or things that are obviously not accepted when living amongst others.

Well, yeah, this makes sense and I didn't think of that. There wouldn't be that many if they weren't being bred for food and consumption.

Thoughts are not an illusion. Thoughts are just that, thoughts. They appear and disappear just like everything else. The illusion is the one thinking it's thinking thoughts. There's no one thinking thoughts. Thoughts are arising and subsiding on their own.

She says trillions of animals gets abused, tortured and murdered each year. If they weren't used as food then that leaves trillions and trillions and trillions x ten more animals in the world to feed, maintain and looked after. Idk, I don't buy into this stuff. I think they could be a bit more humane in how they treat the animals but rearing them for food should be ok. People have healthy chickens in their yards for food but they still slit their throats when it's time to eat them. There are way more animals than people and these animals still need to be fed and most cannot feed themselves. There's work, time and energy that has to be put into raising farm animals.

Her shirt reads "eat pussy, not animals". What is a cat but an animal. Hehe.

Lol

That's an illusion, and nothing is really veiled. The illusory person is the veil. How can there be spiritual work to unveil something that's not really happening. You're better off trying to build a house. You keep saying things are difficult. You're like an illusion trying to break an illusion but the illusion isn't really there. Take yourself out the equation and everything is already unveiled.

The only reason why it's difficult is because it cannot be done and nothing can change what already is. Keep trying though, and maybe you'll tire of trying. There's no one to be open to anything. All there is is emptiness appearing. It's appearing as you trying to be open to nothing and saying it's difficult.

Doesn't matter. I'm not loving how she looks because it is natural and without surgery or botox or whatever. I'm simply just loving her look. That's it. I don't care about what she did or didn't do to look like that. I'm just loving her look as it is now; not the story behind it. Don't care. Irrelevant.

Nice. I like this. (except for the term 'grow up') but it doesn't matter. It doesn't take away the essence of the message. Grown ups can still not recognize this. Anyway, nicely put.

These are some of the apparent dangers/traps in viewing people and circumstances as low consciousness. It's a learnt thing and subjected to you rating yourself and others. Now, you feel worse off than you would normally feel, if you didn't see yourself as 'better' than or more conscious than them. You feel worse because you have set a standard for yourself as high conscious and have set your own relative and subjective meaning to what that term means. If I'm highly conscious I shouldn't let that bother me and I've worked on myself and I feel worthy and so on and so forth. You are quickly realizing, and if you're not, this comment might open you up to realize your petty little ego's construction has nothing to do with life's appearances and anything can happen to shatter it's illusive nature, no matter how much you think you've worked on it. It helps to realize it's just a construction and to not take it too seriously and to be ready for it to be torn to pieces because of spontaneous emotions and random feelings that are occurring out of nowhere. Yes, nowhere. Buckle up and be ready for your high conscious/low conscious persona to be shattered by life's unexpected turns and twists that doesn't care about your states of consciousness when it hits. Stop adopting every little spiritual notion and idea you've heard and try to see things as they are as much as you can without labels. In this case, just see it as someone that said things that made you feel badly. THAT'S IT. Analyzing and trying to figure out why am I feeling this way as he's low conscious and I'm not, will create the illusion and story behind what was just simply an occurence that could have just went right back into the ocean from whence it came and be forgotten. This is what happens when we don't see things as they are without labels, definitions and interpretations which is very hard for the ego to do, but well worth the practice to undo as much as we can. It won't be all the way because it's not practical for the ego but try to do this as much as possible. These are true spiritual practices, in my opinion, because they allow for one to see life for what it is which is the whole purpose for spiritual growth. I can tell from your post that you're going off of a lot of spiritual teachings and what they have instilled in you and how you should be. Well, it takes for one to be at an apparent stage in life to be able to adopt those teachings correctly and to apply them more appropriately and with the proper discernment.

Not all the time, is this necessary. To me, it depends on who it is and my relations with them amongst other factors. Sometimes, it's just best to ignore and walk away and sometimes say something, but not necessarily "telling off" or becoming threatening. We sometimes turn something into a bigger issue by even paying it any attention and the effects just becomes a chain reaction. In the past, i used to react to everything and then other issues would stem from that reaction. When I find myself ignoring or paying very little emotional attention, I find that the issue dissolves itself and it's like it never occurred. The brain captures a snapshot of our emotional reactions to circumstances and our memory bank will remember that image again and again when something in our lives similarly occur and that has nothing to do with the initial occurrence. We set ourselves up to go through the emotional roller coaster of emotions by paying attention to every little thing that happens to us. That's why it's best to try and ignore as much as possible or at best try not to react too emotionally to anything that's not in our best interest.

Come on in, daddy. Let's have a threesome. Lol

If someone robs a bank for money, why not do the same if you need money. Heck, other's are doing it. Why shouldn't I do the same. I guess that would be wrong and in your mind, in a different category.

You are speculating and assuming here. Men are more likely to fit into this category, I think, but it's still speculation to say "for most people".

Brilliant. I read every word and I think it's a masterpiece.

Such a fantasy. Who are you talking to? The individual. The one looking to better their lives and to feel a certain way. Life appears spontaneously. We have apparent senses that perceives and different states appear depending on circumstances. Wanting and desiring already puts a condition into place; so, unless one doesn't want or desire then it's impossible to see everything as beautiful and perfect. Beautiful and perfect is what life is so is ugly and imperfect because it's the individual that's seeing life as such. Life just is. It doesn't care to be beautiful and perfect. Those are adjectives we use to describe what is. Saying life is beautiful and perfect is also saying ugliness and imperfection exists because those are dualities. Life just is. No one has to see it as beautiful and perfect, that's just for the apparent individual that seeks to see perfection and beauty. That's not freedom or liberation. Freedom and liberation doesn't exist for the individual. Life is already free and liberated to appear however it wants which also includes appearances of ugliness and imperfection. I'm not saying it's not perfection because it is, but it's not a perfection that can be understood by the individual who desires and wants and lives in a dualistic reality.

The mind is what wants to be happy. How does one become happy? Neutral circumstances and experiences. Are circumstances and experiences happy "themselves"? No. Where does the happiness comes from. How one perceives and interprets those circumstances. A happy state comes and goes; so does circumstances and experiences. So, to conclude, happiness is a state of mind and is conditional. It's relative and doesn't really exist but only in the mind. Chasing after happiness is like chasing birds because we never know what will appear in life.

He didn't ask about reproducing. I guess that's your only reason to have a gf.

I think she looks beautiful.

Exactly. The world of 8bill people is screwed so just more screwed up people following you. Lol

How does one look at the air? Lol

Freedom doesn't care about effortless flow. That's a condition. Effortless or not, it's already that even if there's effort. You cannot control effort or effortless. Do you consider constipation an effortless flow? Constipation happens, right and can happen to the so-called enlightened. If you are constipated, that's not effortless flow. Well, we are all constipated looking for enlightenment. That's existential constipation. Looking to make life flow because you're contracted and traumatized thinking something is wrong with life and we need to fix it and then things will become effortless. Effort is a part of what is.
