Ok, then I get your point. I didn't do anything intentional. My interpretation was probably because I didn't fully grasp what you were saying or meant. From the mental perspective, I agree that we are constricted and that there is resistance. From what you are saying, I can say I'm more inclined to think we're referring to the same thing - without going back to your original comment, but from what you're saying here.

So, why do you want to die and why are you depressed.

This is what I'm talking about, precisely.

She didn't feel the same way. She felt loved when you were giving and she was there indirectly giving back. It's call about how one feels. You probably tainted your masculinity from some information you consumed and that made you started feeling used or that she needed to do or give more. A masculine man usually feels good when giving and when it's received with joy, love and appreciation, not by expecting anything else materially as much. She left because she felt you didn't love her anymore. The giving was a form of communication on your part and when it stopped a little, she didn't feel loved anymore. You said 80/20, so she was physically giving somewhat. But the majority of her giving was indirect because giving is receiving and as long as she was loving you back internally and appreciated you with all her heart, that should have been enough for you to feel her love and received her too. It goes both ways. P.S. I'm not saying the only way for a man to love is by giving a woman material things, it's just another way that women can feel loved and since men aren't usually verbal and emotional with these things, a woman can feel it in these ways, if given from the heart. Giving from the heart changed somewhere along the line with you and it broke that communication bond.

There's no such thing as a proper awakening. It's either it's awake or it's not. The body says, I'm already awake, even during sleep. The heart still beats, right. So, the mind can keep saying it's asleep, the body doesn't care. It keeps on keeping on.....until it doesn't....but it never really was but only as an appearance. When it "dies", it will appear as a corpse - still alive. There's nothing but aliveness. That corpse will then appear as something else, idk maybe maggots and a skeleton. Still alive.

I agree with what you're saying to a degree, but I disagree with this. Unhappiness and suffering will still be it's just one doesn't care if it is or not and will not try to change anything for the betterment of the egoic structure.

Nobody seems to mention this when these topics arise but I will set the record straight. The body doesn't care about your awakening and enlightenment. It will act out. It will not want to talk to others and see the world as an enemy. It will throw temper tantrums and shit on walls. It will want to go in a corner and not come out because of what the mind has put it through. When the body thirsts, it grabs for some liquid to quench. Hungry, it eats, needs to pee it pees, burps, yawns, sneezes etc. It has grown accustomed to interacting with people normally and going about daily life. When one starts to interfere with existential matters like awakening and enlightenment it's not used to that shit. The egoic mind wants to come back to homeostasis and wants to be separate and different. It wants to construct and develop not be dead. It wants to live, not die. So the body acts out because the embodiment is so strong and the connection felt deeply, as in this is my body so the body/mind coherence is thrown off balance. Wow, I'm God, no you're not, you better keep on surviving and building your house made of cards is what the ego says. Anyway, without digging too deep, you're not doing any of that the body is, and that's why we go through these changes. The body doesn't care about your awakening, it just wants to survive and will go haywire when the mind does a 360 loop, it gets confused. The body is already awake and there's nothing but now or presence and so-called enlightenment is already the case. It doesn't need your made up construction of it.

No, I'm not saying that. I'm saying why are you chasing happiness. Circumstances in life comes, goes, changes and are spontaneous. If one is only happy from outside stimuli, it's like gambling; you never know the outcome. It's OK to want to be happy, but why not just be happy when the time comes; when something makes you happy in the moment. The opposite too. Why not embrace the sadness. They don't last long. Only if one hold on to the thoughts. Positive and negative exists. Trying to be positive all the time will set you up for failure. It will never happen. Seeing things for what they are is king, as in your words. If something happens that makes you feel happy, fine. If something happens that makes you feel sad, fine. No need for therapy to try to right the negative. It passes. See it for what it is. You don't even remember last year this time what made you happy or sad. It's like the wind it comes and goes. It's best to not try to feel good all the time. It's best to just let what happens, happens and whatever feelings arises arise. That's what life is about. So what. No one wants to feel sad, but you will lose that battle eventually. You don't have to think positively or negatively, just feel the sadness or happiness and every other emotion in between and don't judge it or see ANYTHING WRONG (unless it's causing you or others harm as in anger or jealousy and you're acting out), other than that just let it be. Neutrality is what's behind the scenes and everything arises from that and will go back to that if you don't stir the pebbles. They all go back anyway but they linger less if you just let it be. You're not in control of that but the energetic response is; and because you claim everything as yours, (my happiness, my anger, my sadness, etc) you will feel less or more depending on how the energy responds to itself.

Reality cannot be understood.

Nice try, but there's no me nor any God that's imagining me. The illusion is the me; there's none only a body that appears outta nowhere and nothing, like everything else..

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.
