look in the mirror right now, is that person there you? to say yes is to live in ego to say no is to live in love since everything you see is your long lost limb

if you no know then know it's no

confidence is, what i find is for me and what is for me finds me

no need to be out of your comfort zone, if people are dumb and won't advance me, i am out group dynamics is hard so if it is not conducive i won't waste time one on one i give people every chance, the dumbest are the funnest especially when you are pretty dim yourself, everyone is god's gift

people speak per their level of consciousness, something i marvel at rather than meddle in secret is, never argue with people, disagree all you like namely state your truth and move to the next no one wants you to change them

reading aloud is grossly ineffective for information retention, even speaking the words as you read needs to be eliminated

know that all you see is good, you however are not that good but that's fine since you are the only thing you can ever change

make it a personal non negotiable, schedule it and stick to it, important things are best done first in the morning, no social media until spiritual work completed

i don't allow an indulgent thought in the morning, i do robot mode and execute scheduled tasks basically the same tasks each day mind loathes being shut out but over time has gotten tame meek compliant takes time to get to this state but anyone could do it if they want it

every day suffering will confront you you may bring it on consciously to help you and the outside may bring it on mercilessly to hurt you it slows you or it grows you up to you cheers Leo for the nugget

here's the path belief -> knowledge -> experience -> existence contemplate this

thought is energy that you haven't put to bed namely unfinished business, if you put it to bed it won't arise any longer thought is the past you are trying to map onto the present ... not a good approach thought is the story that you are the person in the mirror ... fact is you have no say in that person's life

yes indeed that is what TMI teaches but do be careful the word concentration is not ideal, calming or pacifying is a better way of going, here is a vid that explains way better than i could https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=giDJNVPs014

in life you either accept what is or suffer what's not ego likes what's not saying it will bend reality to its own will hey ego, there is an easier way to live life - wake up!

arguing is the idea that someone is wrong everyone is right according to their level of consciousness i have no business or duty to step in and speak truth everyone out there is perfect and exactly where they are supposed to be i work on myself and i let others be

youtube is relaxation mode even though it is a great learning tool; relaxation is end of day activity; i schedule 2 hours for video content daily, if i watch a movie or a leo vid that will be it for the day; oftentimes early in the day i come across vids i want to watch so i put them in the queue and will watch later in the day/week; if a vid is 30 minutes or more long, i will scan the transcript to see if i want to invest the time and in particular read the conclusion two hours is the sweet spot for me, after two hours off to sleep

note that when you spell dogma backwards you get am god what you going to choose? universe is laughing here

reason breathing is a good anchor is as follows: are you breathing right now? yes; how do you know you are breathing? i can feel it either at my nostrils or at my stomach hold onto that physical feeling - no matter what else you are doing this is how buddha taught awareness

@Ayham am not big on Ralston but what i mean is become child like innocent sincere wondering ... imagine that you are a new person every day

strongly recommend breath anchor, it's what buddha taught ... study this vid and all the vids on the channel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=giDJNVPs014

mindfulness is the dance between see hear feel and breathing meditation is the dance between thinking and breathing what is new that you see or hear or feel you hold onto for ten seconds back to breathing sitting in a chair you feel discomfort you move position, you look around you for ten seconds, back to breathing when there is change in world body mind hold it notice it savor it back to breathing eventually with mindfulness and meditation breathing becomes default

people who talk about people won't awaken write threads on how YOU are waking up rather than hurling stones everyone i see here is perfect no matter how awake they are and i am grateful for everyone's contribution i don't condemn you like this thread does, i embrace you i salute you i love you

put things in your own words, forget everything you have learned and become someone who knows nothing

is the converse true? if its exists am i conscious of it? no ... this is the world of spirituality and god thus consciousness is a subset of existence, everything is nothing part of existence, everything? yes ... nothing is just what i can't be conscious of in summary, existence, everything = consciousness + nothing

i am i am this is clear and all springs from this
