That's a good thing then. If you love peace, that's the best thing you can have.

Enlightenment in my opinion is all about being contended and being in a state free of attachment. It's about being in acceptance with what you are and experiencing life without being enslaved to the selfish tendencies of the ego and resistance to life. But generally enlightened people are blissful because they prefer the blissful nature of the union and egolessness over pleasures, simply because they know pleasures are costly and pushes us deep into the illusion, not because they hate them. The neutrality you are describing is a state of light bliss for a prolonged time period.When you are being neutral without being in a state of bliss, the feeling of peace will be overwhelmed by feeling of boredom and longing after desires, that could happen if you are inactive and egoistic at the same time. Do you want low levels of bliss for a prolonged time or intense bliss for a short period of time? You can choose to be highly blissful all the time, but that's rare and means you have to put more effort in the form of intense meditation, devotion or selfless activities. To live life peacefully, you don't need to do that.

We have the red ones, green ones and also the yellow ones, the ones in between. Some say green apples are healthier and red apples are tastier. Which one do you love to eat? Or do you forbid yourself from eating any kind at all?

Money becomes god when you use it to bring joy to others.

Pain is inevitable, suffering is optional. It's a popular Buddhist saying from which the definitions mentioned here came up. Pain is the origin or action, suffering is the reaction to it. Two people can have the same level of pain, yet suffering differently to it. For example, an army man and a kid react differently to the same level of pain, for eg., getting an injection. There are different ways to reduce pain, and they are physical in nature, eg. anaesthetics, drugs etc. There are different ways to reduce suffering, and they are mental in nature. For eg , meditation, vairagya etc. A person who can overcome suffering is called a stoic in philosophy, an equanimous person in spirituality, or a numb guy in science.

Nice!

God - Good, with the o removed, we can't understand that kind of goodness yet. God - the opposite or reversed meaning of a doG. A dog follows it's master and is dependent on him for everything, including happiness, survival etc. God is the one who depends on no one or nothing for his happiness or survival or whom everyone is dependent upon. God realised person - A person who felt to be a god,atleast for a short while

That's what justice systems and governments do. They force rules upon people, and the rules vary depending on how liberal/ conservative the government is. When even big governments struggle to find out the right choice between being liberal and conservative, we as an individual with a small brain and big biases cannot determine what's right for someone else. So, the best option is to be on the side of liberty especially when the affected person is old and mature enough, as the governments already limit the liberty of everyone in numerous ways to create the balance.

Thank you 💚

Let me tell you a truth. Simply by smiling when you see a stranger's face, you can cause him/her a painful death. Will you stop smiling because it has a chance to happen? No! What you should do instead is believe in your intuition and do what seems right to your heart. If your heart doesn't know, try to analyse it rationally as best as you can. Most discussions in places like forums are mostly beliefs, and things like creating a conscious entity which suffers simply because of your imagination has very less chances of happening both by intuition and by rational analysis or even by most beliefs. Only your intention and ignorance matters, not the results. If you had a pure selfless intention with your best efforts or the least ignorance which causes thousands to die unknowingly, you will not be affected by it. That's how the universe keeps maintaining the balance. So don't worry about things you can't know for sure, and instead focus on the present. Remember, many spiritual cultures keep creativity at a pedestal for a reason. Just make sure or intend to create content that won't affect those who view it mentally, as far as you can.

Sex is no different from other pleasures, if enjoying a spicy and tasty fried meat has a pleasure rating of 5 on a scale of 10, animalistic sex would have something around 9 to 10. Sex can be done in different forms, and each carries different pleasure levels. Pure animalistic sex or masturbation with only the urge to quench your thirst or desire without regard for the heart has the highest pleasure and hence the highest pain, especially for those with desires set on a spiritual path. Sex with the intention to feel pleasure mutually and connect with your partner romantically has a mixture of both pleasure and bliss. Tantric sex with a pure intention to connect with eyes and immerse in love with your partner or yourself has lower pleasure and higher bliss. Anything that is pleasurable is selfish in nature, and hence comes back to you in the form of pain one way or the other. When you are indulging in pleasurable activities like sex, eating, watching shorts or anything else, the activity itself may not be a hindrance to spiritual path, but with what intention you do the activity or how selfish you are while setting your intention or doing it.

A guru having consensual sex is not a problem. A guru who advocates against pleasure and disciplines his followers by not allowing them to have sex, and then secretly doing it himself can be a problem. A guru who takes advantage of his followers by telling them things like having sex with me will make you feel spiritual heaven or will speed up your liberation is a huge problem.

Wonderful! Jai shri ram !

Yes, that's what we are.

Why mysterious? It has no mystery. Nothing to be known.

And very young too

What about homosexuals? What about earthworms? I believe everything can be simplified into opposites for the mind. For something to be different and thus create a distinction, atleast two has to be known. That's how logic exists. More than two also can be known. For white to be differentiated as white, black has to exist in our mind. For grey to be differentiated as grey, both white and black has to exist or known. Otherwise grey will become black. The question is, can one be known without its opposite? Can one be experienced without the opposite?

Your desire has to be very strong, you might have to think deep and find all the rewards you will get if you succeed in this exam. Then you can keep them as a motivation. If those rewards involve the happiness of others, those would work the best, for example for the happiness of your parents. Disciplining yourself with short term rewards also might help.

It could be like that, but as far as I remember, the sleep paralysis happened together with the dream. I previously had sleep paralysis a couple times in the normal way as well

Some biases are deeply rooted in most human beings and those are mostly for the sake of survival. It's necessary to keep those biases, so that you don't eat spoiled food or shit and get sick. But there are many biases which are developed due to our surroundings and environment. It's better to try reducing such biases so that you are open to more experiences in this universe. But if you think you already have too many experiences to immerse yourself in this world, you can keep those biases too. But God has the least bias, so if you wish to do that, better start noticing and destroying those biases.
