Good is knowing what's false and what's true and letting go of the former and living for the latter. The false is the material and the true is the spiritual. Thus when you see people, to see badness is false and to see goodness is true. Choose as you please.

The ego wants me as unhealthy as possible in body mind spirit. Then I do its bidding.

It's separation's last stand. Me against the world. Me making myself king of the universe. Most of us are egos and this is our path, I am answerable to nobody and I will do as I please, making sure that nobody knows how sinister and sick this all really is. In fact, let's not think and let's just enjoy.

Solipsism is the absolute truth to an ego. My ego is established as the one true god of all it surveys. And even better, no other ego can ever refute this most high most holy most electrifying awakening. Halleluiah!

Women have huge incentive to settle and settle down. Men are not special in finding these typical women. Men may come to this point of maturity too. Women are about a decade more mature than men in this regard. And if they want a family, they have to be. Be understanding. Be sincere. Be honest. Be kind. Be realistic.

Conflict is always how you see things and nothing to do with what others do. The key to dealing with conflict is having solid boundaries and being hyper selective who you allow access to you. If you have no say in the matter then label others as friend or foe and proceed accordingly. Friends get the authentic you and foes get bare presence and, as soon as business is conducted, polite withdrawal. Many people are not helpful for you and need to be kept away. Let others seek conflict but play no part in it. In this way, every day can be conflict free. This all reminds me of a quote: Before you think your life is a complete disaster, make sure you're not surrounded by assholes.

Good points. My take is to make any apparent enemy a valuable bestie. This needs to be sincere and concrete. Not just words but helpful actions. I want to be the best neighbor out there. When they go on vacation, they should trust me enough to leave their keys with me and to feed the animals. This improves their quality of life substantially. And mine too when I go on vacation.

Am afraid I don't watch any vids but I just want to encourage you and motivate to keep persevering. Watch the vids which seem appealing. They all say the same thing in the end. They are reminding you that you are not who you think you are. You are spirit assuming a material form, the form means nothing except as a means for you to see the truth. My one advice would be to meditate every day if you can even just 5 minutes a day to begin. This signifies a commitment to being a better person. All the best Justine and stop by the forums and add in your questions and comments when you can. This is a good community to be part of.

In addition, there isn't just no self, there is no universe either. To enter this is what acim calls the holy instant. You let your higher self look upon God as those around you. You don't even need others, you can sit here without the interfering ego. All spiritual work is simply to tune in to and operate from the higher self. For you this is impossible but no problem for you have the power to keep on choosing it since as you will discover you have free will to keep practicing it.

Things have to get darker before the dawn starts to appear. The problem is the you who wants to be happy. Buddhism shows you how to realize this you is nothing. In other words how to shrink that you to nothing and then in the dawn the everything has a chance to come. It's a good path. There are others that are good too.

Irrelevant whether it happened. You only ever meet yourself in the world. What you write on forums or speak to others, you communicate always for your own benefit. Doesn't mean you are required to take on everything that accosts your path. Do whatever will teach you something important by sharing something simple. To teach is to refresh the truth one already knows within.

There are tons of men who are on the hunt to have sex with anyone - any age any weight any state any time. I can say they will have sex with anything. If people with a pulse are not available, that is fine - they will be happy with dead corpses. If the dead are all safely 6 feet under, just wheel in the farm animals. No standards are needed to get that nut.

Men can be whores and be loud and proud gay for pay and straight for their children make notches on their belts for the world to admire and even become president. Women don't fare as fairly in love and war.

Excellent, you have done yourself proud. Next you should buy them a gift and go tell them you appreciate their kindness in giving you a second chance. Gift can be wine, cake or chocolates. Tell them you are going to be a great neighbour from now on. If they need you, they can rely on you to look after their house if they go away for the weekend. Leave them your phone number and full name.
