I know it was just a figure of speech.

@YaliI'll tell you a little story. Once, I had physical pain; nothing much but it was painful. I decided to test something. I detached from my body and looked at it like I was observing a tree or something. Like it wasn't mine. All of a sudden I felt no pain, but it didn't last very long because it's not something I practice. The pain was still there but I wasn't suffering from it. It was if I was observing the pain. I couldn't sustain it though, I could only do it for secs at a time. This is why I know it is possible to not suffer from pain but it takes lots of practice to sustain.

I guess it takes for Leo to give you an answer for you to be comfortable with and agree with. Until then you will fight me to the core.

Ok. You just have the same meaning to the two different words as I do. I look at pain as physical and suffering as mental, even though they are one of the same. Having pain and suffering the fact that you're in pain to me is totally different. Very subtle. You can still suffer long after the pain is gone. We don't have to get into this as we won't see eye to eye on this even though I get where you're coming from. I just have a different look on it. You can have physical pain without suffering and you can suffer without having physical pain. The suffering is the mental stories about the pain and the physical pain is just the sensations felt, raw and unfiltered.

This is just a fantasy, fear is love. Just a defective energetic form. Infinitely more beautiful in your limited mind. Humanity couldn't flourish without fear. What would be the driving force. There's nothing to strive for if everything is seemingly perfect. Some fear is necessary for this to happen. Fear is the illusion. All is love.

@Thought ArtLol, it does sound like me tryna hit a Mariah Carey high note.

I'm the queen of music my sweets. I can even sing it too.💕

While we're at it, this is my fav make-out track. I put this on, drinking some wine, chillin' out in my fav lingerie after cooking some nice romantic dinner for two made of turkey chili, with cilantro, avocado, chopped roma tomatoes and creamy Greek yogurt on top with a delicate Caesar salad with shaved Parmesan topped all over with a creamy avocado Caesar dressing and sauteed anchovies on the side with crispy garlicky pita bread to slurp up all that chili goodness while toasting each other and sharing pita slices back and forth with arms twisted and held together like two newly weds sharing two glasses of champagne and drinking from each others' lip-smacking crystallized sparkling bubbly champagne glasses. After which I awaken to find myself naked on the bed all alone from the worst nightmare I ever had to realize I was dreaming up this luscious rendezvous and trippin'.

Wtf

We're speaking about suffering here not pain. They are two different things.

Pain vs suffering are two different things. "Most surely suffering" is your thought.

Meanwhile.....the poor stays poor.

That's the only reason why you care.

There's somebody right now in a hospital bleeding to death, nobody cares.

Love this.

I didn't see Sadhguru said he was suffering. No one said accidents, health problems or brain injury or whatever ailments won't happen to enlightened people. Not one single thing in these reports about Sadhguru said he was suffering. Check your assumptions and ideas about what's happening in this case because they are not what's being said. If you can quote me something that you've seen or heard Sadhguru said that he was suffering, I'll retract my statements.

You said it perfectly.

No one said that. That statement wasn't necessary.

Yes, now go date men who are the exact opposite. Or stay single.

BULLSHIT. UGLY girls are more attracted to physical attractiveness in a man than pretty, hot, beautiful, and cute girls. Most attractive guys will always believe it's because of his looks that got him the girls' attention; and it is, but not because he was so attractive but mostly because she loved the way he looked, attractive to most on societal terms or not. A short guy will still get it, a fat guy will still get it, a chubby guy, a bearded guy, a muscled guy, a skinny guy, doesn't matter, rich, poor, kind, not kind, whatever, THE BIGGEST AND MOST ATTRACTIVE THING TO MOST WOMEN IS CONFIDENCE amongst other things not related to looks. No matter how it comes and what it looks like. You will have a very hard time if you are ugly and no confidence, but will fair OK being attractive with no confidence, but if you are ugly, unattractive or whatever but you have tons of confidence you will fair better than the rest especially beyond just a 'hi how are you'.0 The problem is, a lot of guys who are unattractive, short, chubby or whatever don't exude confidence in this field so it seems like girls only like attractive guys but they hardly keep those attractive guys because now the work begins for them and half of these handsome dudes think their looks alone should or can do the trick but it doesn't. Women will fair more in the looks department and will get away with more shit if they are hot but eventually that will run its course too especially if the guy has his shit together. Being fat though is probably the last thing on the list so guys should work on that more than gaining muscles. You don't need muscles to get hot chicks, fat...not so much but you still can if that fat comes with status, confidence etc.

Thank you for this. This made sense in that that we are collecting and sending out information. We are INFORMATION. Something like the 0101 binary codes on a computer, just not sure how it works. When I ask certain questions, some will say, because they don't know, that I will never know these things or don't ask these kinds of questions or who is it that wants to know etc. That's all fine and good and i will respectably respond in an appropriate fashion even though I will still do what I'm drawn to do and keep wondering and have an open mind even if I don't verbally ask. This I believe is my authentic self and it is not so I don't have to suffer or for some personal gain, not even so much as a search for Truth but just as a genuine love and child-like wonder about the existential nature of the Universe, Reality and things of that nature. It doesn't mean that I will always blindly believe whatever I'm told, but since I'm not using these information as a means to acquire anything as in liberation or the end of suffering like some are, It's ok I think for me to keep on keeping on into my authentic inquiries because that to me is an expression of love, my expression because you cannot say you love something without trying to get to know that thing. I was hoping you would chime in on this thread to hear your views on it, so thank you.

Have you noticed one thing so far. This never ends. It never will. Next week it'll be a new insight, a new Awakening, one that probably the Incas or the Aztecs had; and you'll be claiming it as your own. And 2000, years from now somebody will have the same insight you've had saying "yeah, I've got a new insight, here goes" repeating the same insight you had 2000yrs prior. Haven't you noticed that your momma and poppa had you after having sex and now all of a sudden you're so smart and talking all this shit in a place where you never even knew about before you were born. Haven't you noticed you don't even know when you're gonna die, but you have all these intelligent insights about life. Haven't you noticed, that you haven't noticed these things and your mind will just make up more insights as to why and how it just seems to know all this shit that is coming outta nowhere.

There's no I. Memory is appearing to no one. True Awakening implies there's a false Awakening. "Enlightenment is a recognition of this" is just a thought.

This video was interesting. Made me look at anxiety and depression in a whole new light. Doesn't seem like it happens from thought. She doesn't have thoughts and still have both symptoms. Not sure what to make of that other than there's no person doing anything which is in line with the "no doer" teachings. It's just happening. Seems like ever so often I come across something in life that isn't the norm and changes my perspectives on things or make me wonder about certain aspects of life. This is one of them. It actually, for me, puts the pieces together more than dismantle them and falls in line perfectly with some things I've questioned in the past and not understood. Then again, that's just another illusion within the illusion, so ill, see it as such.

There's was a time when somebody was doing something i didn't like. Someone close in my proximity that wasn't feasible for me to remove myself from physically. I kept resisting and resisting and feeling bad every time wishing and hoping one day they would stop doing it. The more they did it, the worse I felt. One day I made a decision to not resist it anymore, meaning to just see it for what it is and adjust my thinking to what I was seeing. I stopped resisting, didn't even acknowledge it anymore as a bad thing and worked on how I was processing it and just let it be. Not too long after that they stopped. I didn't have to feel any feeling nor try to do anything outwardly. All I did was stop seeing it how I was seeing it and they stopped doing it. It was like magic. The thing i remembered most about how I did it was to try and remove myself from the equation as somebody that was going through something and saw it as just something that was happening but not to me, it just was. Something like that, and it wasn't very conscious because I knew nothing about Spirituality then, it was just an automatic response that was an effect of my consciously saying to myself how can I change the way I'm responding to this and it just happened naturally without any effort. I don't think it was so much that they stopped being that person, but they stopped being that way around me without them even knowing it bothered me or it was something that I detested. Didn't even come up. This is what I think it means when they say in Spirituality that we are creating the people around us by seeing them a certain way and if we see them or even the things they do different, what we see changes.
