Sorry to hear about your struggles of physical pain and I hope it gets better for you that you don't have to feel it much longer. However, Spirituality doesn't say you should accept pain and abide in pain. Spirituality doesn't say anything because it doesn't speak. If you heard that from someone, that someone or those people said it, not Spirituality. Living in pure bliss without pain is not unconditional love. You blame God but God is unconditional love. You don't blame God when things are going right, why blame God when things are going wrong. We praise God when things are going right and curse God when things are apparently going wrong. Didn't someone in Spirituality not also tell you that God is also unconditional love? That means everything, even pain. The only reason I'm saying this is not to undermine your pain but to show you how your questions about God here are futile. Doesn't mean anything. You need to figure out how to stop the pain and do all you can about that and cursing God surely won't help. There is a God but it's not what you think it is. God is your pain and God is everything. God is not an entity outside somewhere doing anything, God(and that's just a name for it) is everything including your pain.

That's because there is no self. It's an illusion. There's nothing to accept or not accept. Try all you want, it won't happen. The thoughts you're having is also the same thing the apparent self is - no-thing appearing as something. The mind is trying to stop the mind from being the mind. All illusory. A dog chasing it's tail - apparently.

You guys are going to keep going on and on if there's a "you" in the picture. If you're trying to explain away the unexplainable, if you're trying to know the unknowable, if you believe there's anything that has to happen differently than what is actually happening. If you don't understand that this is aliveness appearing as something. If you think you can figure this out. That's all happening too and is also this appearing as you guys going back and forth, but you'll get nowhere as this is already the case. The only dream is you thinking you're a person with thoughts feelings and emotions. This comment is also just happening, for Noone, by Noone. Ok, so why bother to write it? There's Noone writing it. How did you see it? You didn't, reading happened. Am I crazy? There's no me to be crazy. Am I wrong? There's no wrong in totality, because the appearance of this being a totally bullshit comment is also it. Everything is it. You are it, I am it they are it, we are it, they are it and also no one is it. It's like you're inside of the it, trying to figure out the it. You'll be 80yrs old still trying to figure out the it, except there's noone turning 80. It's all dreaming happening. A bunch of stories within the dream. The I dreaming that it's a someone dreaming; except there's no I. We suffer because we think we're not it. We've kicked ourselves from out of the it. Now we're trying to get back into the it. There's really no it. It is not something to be named because the it is also it. You can't escape the it. Your comments back to me will also be the it. Your rebuttals, your questions, your assumptions, your reasonings, your whatever is also the it. EVERYTHING is the it. Your trying to find the it is also the it. Anything you do, feel, say, believe, not believe, agree with, disagree with, love, like, hate, whatever.....it's all the it. The unknowable it. The only way to escape the it is to take the "you" out the it, but that will also be the it. So it's pointless. If it being pointless is also the it. If I say to stop this nonsense, that's also the it. There are no gains there are no losses. How can there be in totality. We appear to love conditionally because the it is UUNCONDITIONAL LOVE and it cannot be otherwise because it is all there is. The so-called limited stems from the unlimited; there cannot be limits if there's no unlimited. There cannot be conditional love if there's no unconditional love, which is what this is. Everybody's in pain because we think we have lost something. We spend our whole lives trying to find what isn't lost and our refusal to see there's nothing lost is why we can't find it because the seeking is what's blinding us from seeing this. That's the illusion. The only thing to gain is to realize there was never a seeker nor anything to gain. It's not even a recognition because all that is also it. Even saying you're stopping the seeking is also seeking because you think there's something to gain from not seeking. It's all illusory. Not the it, the it is aliveness, that's all there is.

It is not paradoxical in nature. It's only when humans try to explain it then it appears paradoxical.

Bear in mind "hot" to a man comes in all shapes and sizes. Not all men view the same woman as hot. The woman is usually attractive and feminine but there are some intricate detailed differences, as in hair, body-type and color, nose structure, cheekbones...etc. Overall most men love attractive women. When a woman shows off her beauty by wearing certain clothes, how she does her hair and how she walks, etc, a man gets attracted to that and wants to be with her. Whether he pursues or not, is a different story and will depend on many factors. Men cannot help who they are attracted to (no one for that matter), that's just a part of how attraction works. Some try to fight it and some surrender to it. That's another story. The reason why men even call women "hot" is from a burning desire to put out her flame. He longs to enter her and use his penis to draw out and extract the love she is oozing out of her vagina and her whole body. (In his mind anyway). What he sees is his own beauty. The love that he is. The love that he longs for. Searching for. God is beauty, and, no matter what you see as beautiful you will want to have. It's an extension of the love that you are. We have not identified with that love, so we see it in others and we long for it. Giving is the same as receiving; so when he gives her his penis and she receives it, he is actually receiving himself and the hotter the woman, the more intense that receiving energy feels. He is in ecstasy, divine ecstasy. He cannot control it and he wants more. This is why the next hot chick is hotter than the previous one because now the anticipation energy has been activated in his mind. He will keep chasing hot girls because, in his mind, the flame hasn't been put out yet from his ongoing desires and he keeps chasing and chasing in hopes of cooling down this flame. Then he might develop some love in himself from whatever reason and then the urge might dissipate a bit; and now a less hot chick will do the same trick with the same intensity. The problem with all this, is that it produces a sense of an "unfulfilled longing". Only to have sex, not make love. A release of built-up tension. Contracted energy. It isn't fulfilling in the long-term; and never will, because it's an illusion. It creates tension in the body and which allows for more anxiety and depression in other areas of life. We are all longing for something because we view each other as separate and now we long for that which we think is not already there. We don't get unfulfillment when we really make love and not just sex, because the body is doing all that naturally. It's when the craving comes and the longing for that sexual excitement (which is mind) appears, the mind tends to want to fulfill a need. So, it uses the body and the body follows, but is never satisfied because it isn't a natural desire coming from a love of expression of itself - it's a longing for something, a something that it will never find because it IS what it longs for. It can become an addiction. There's nothing wrong with all this, I'm just stating my reasons for this with no judgements or insinuating that it should be different.

For us, (well for me), it's not so much about getting horny by this stuff, it ignites a certain spark within us. Makes us feel a certain way. Doesn't matter how strong the imagination is.

I didn't post anything it just happened. Lol. No need to be so serious about shit. Nothing will change. Nihilism is just a word. Sorry, i won't spoil your dream. Even that is just happening, if you were so grounded in your beliefs and practices my comment wouldn't phase you, you interpreted it as me saying nothing matters, where did I say that. See makes no sense. Show me where I said nothing matters.

The Absolute cannot be experienced because it is also the dream of experience. The Absolute isn't a dream, the experience is. Saying we experience it is duality. "We and it". Who is the we and what is the it. If it's the Absolute then it is both.

I'm not seeing the Absolute being the ultimate nature of Reality. The Absolute is also the seeing of the Absolute as the ultimate nature of Reality meaning the Absolute is also that. Nature implies a thing that has a nature. The Absolute is not a thing.

This is not something to resolve at this age. Like @Schizophoniasaid, this will resolve on it's own. It's merely experimentation and fantasies at this point. Not diminishing you, but you're way too young to even know what you want in a man much less two. You're not being foolish because the opposite would be wise and you are incapable of making any wise decision about relationships at this age. Allow it to play itself out. I promise, at a later stage and age, you will look back and ask, what was I thinking. Not that there's anything wrong with having two if all involved are open to it, but you are fling it from a place of curiosity and unsurety plus immaturity in regards to dating, which is natural at your age.

That's just a dream. There's no one in there going through anything. Death is a concept. Nothing really happens.

There's no body with a mind. That's an illusion. The body is an empty shell with an apparent mind which is really no-thing. There's no-one in there doing anything, it's all just apparently happening.

What is consciousness conscious of?

Which is also THIS,

How can the Infinite be constrained.

You are making my point exactly right here. Why do you assume it has to be compared to something else. You said, its all there is. Boom. That's it. Nothing really happened. It's just appearing so. I don't know what THIS is but it is not a dream and it is total and complete and doesn't need to be conscious or aware of anything because it is everything.

Thank you. I know i will get a lot of rebuttals but I welcome them.

I will only respond to replies that acknowledges that I said it does exist but only exists as a part of the dream.

Writing this post is a part of the dream. A dream is not the real thing.

I don't think in Spirituality when one refers to Consciousness they mean you are conscious, but that Consciousness is all there is aka God etc. That cannot be the case if Hod is all there is, and for the reasons I stated in my post. How can it.

Lack of comprehension, thank god, is a feature of consciousness or you definitely would be unconscious. I never said there was no consciousness.

All Leo said was he'll use it for work related, not to compensate for something he's already doing.

What does it matter where they're from. A teaching is a teaching, no matter the country.
