lol, ok. Let's smoke some of that shit together.

Well, the ancients are dead. Since they know they're dead, ask them.

Ok. I won't take that away from you. Soothe the soul, my dear.

This is like saying "holy shit, I'm terrified of sleep". No one knows they're asleep, just as no one will know they're dead. The delusion is you thinking there's a you to die.

People are not denying Spirituality another choice was made. This in Infinity and all sorts of situations and circumstances and all sorts of people exists. There's doesn't have to be a true reason why such and such is happening. We make all that shit up to try and make sense of the world. Imagine if EVERYONE was into Spirituality, where would the diversity of the Absolute fit in. We tend to want everyone to be like us and when they're not, we concoct up some reason why they're not. Some people are not into Spirituality simply because they're not. It's that simple. No complications needed.

I think people perceive you according to the relationship you have with that person, the idea they have of you and what they want or don't want from you mostly in terms of expectation. The same person's mother will perceive them differently than say that person's friend or lover; not because the person is different, but because of the reasons I stated above. We even look at strangers in a way relative to the circumstances in which they appeared in our experience. For example, a female appearing before a man's eyes who is attracted to her will be seen differently by another guy who is not attracted to her. If she appeared in a bar, she'll also be perceived differently than if she were in a mall or library. Nothing changed about her appearance but where she appeared made the difference. That's usually how people perceive you. You need do nothing, just appear to them in situations and circumstances that they already formed an opinion about.

We do not choose to respond. Response happens. I know this sounds non-dual and woo woo and oh my God, not again, but it is the case. When you read that first sentence, were you blank. Did you not have an opinion about it. You happen to hit on this journal and read this post. Are you choosing how to respond to these writings or is it just happening. Reflect on that and be honest about it. If we're being mindful to not respond a certain way to what's happening in life, that's also not by our choosing. Try and respond a certain way to something and then choose another response right away to the same thing. Can you erase the first response from happening in the first place and can the second response automatically turn into the first response. No. If both were your choices, then you'd be able to undo the first response and turn the second response into a first. Both were spontaneous, both happened on their own, neither can be erased only follow. You can choose a pair of shoes and decide to return it for another, but you cannot undo the choosing of the first shoe. If you were doing the choosing, then you could undo the choosing. Everything is just in succession; one thing happening after the other, after the other, after the other, and we think we're doing it and choosing to do it. Erasing something doesn't mean that thing never existed, it just means something else happened, something else appeared. The first thing appeared, the eraser appeared, the erasing appeared and the new thing appeared. They all appeared in succession - one after the other. All those moves appeared independently from each other and without a chooser. A chooser would be able to "unchoose".

There's no silent watcher in immediacy. There's no "your life" that's being watched; that's duality. That suggests separation which is illusory. Actually, the statement "it's silently - watching- your- life - suggests 4 things happening. It's/watching/your/life. That's quadrality.

Nice!

There's no way around suffering if one identifies as a human. It comes with the territory. Trying to master the self in this aspect, only perpetrates the suffering and confirms that one suffers. Same as trying to find happiness. Only confirms that one is unhappy. The seeker seeks. That's what it does. Seeking the end of suffering is still living in the future via imagination, as you put it. Life does what it wants, when it wants. Stifling yourself to try and not feel emotions that are arising because of spontaneous responses is only perpetrating the suffering and keeping you from being present. Even though you're always present, the effects in the mind won't feel like that and will just create confusion. Confused as to why these feelings are arising. I suggest we just see suffering as another energetic spontaneous arising that may or may not prolong the effects depending on how one looks at the suffering. The person that sees it as them being human and that's a function of that energy will have a better relationship with that suffering than one who is trying to master and manipulate the spontaneity of feelings that are arising on their own and what we've identified with as a function of the perceived separate self. That self sees everything that arises within it's perception in relation to itself and it owns everything including that suffering - it cannot help it. Trying to master suffering is like trying to master the rain. It falls when the conditions arises for it do so. Changing your conditions and environment is what's needed, not trying to master feelings into being in the now. There's no other place to be, even via imagination, because that's also happening now.

They'll just be suffering NOW. Nothing is ever done "not in the now". There's no now to master. Now is all there is. Unacceptance is also done now. Living is always in the now, responding is always in the now. Let me see you live yesterday and respond yesterday to something that's happening now.

And why does Religion exist.
