  1. we too selfish, what have we done for the world today to share our bounty both material and metaphysical we are too rich arrogant spoiled while most are struggling to put bread on the table with no end in sight or better to realize that everyone is enlightened and i am the only messed up mutha out there and proceed accordingly
  2. when not irredeemably naive, politicians have a deep inferiority complex ... they foist themselves onto an unsuspecting public and then assert only they can make a difference and leave a lasting legacy the only worthwhile change is on oneself and after that person to person just my two cents
  3. for anyone interested in the mirror of simple souls referenced in this clip https://ia801306.us.archive.org/34/items/TheMirrorsOfSimpleSouls/The Mirrors of Simple Souls.pdf
  4. the guy does not believe in religion so no surprise he is mystical experience negative what is religion? it is god making itself known ... mind cant know this ... so what is needed is mystical experience ... namely get silent if you are atheist, you are not going to trust people who tell us something about god
  5. one thing to understand is that even in polyamory people more often will pair bond, in other words have a primary partner and then each will have additional partners or not as each sees fit and indeed this has been the model throughout history, us humans are more often monagamish - we pair bond in order to conceive and raise children and then take on others partners as we are permitted to / inclined to so multiple concurrent partners is not out of the mainstream
  6. slowness of time is same as pain namely a messenger designed to show you that p-assing a-way i-s n-ear #pain ... death is close but it's ok as you are not a body
  7. this was an excellent nuanced well researched balanced presentation ... even though i disagree with his stated conclusion i just watched an enjoyable presentation about the 7 story castle of teresa avila another great mystical heavyweight so all this information was most pertinent and synchronous what i know is this, mystical experiences are superfluous consolations, you should ignore them and not strive for them, they are not the goal and have to be dropped, if anything they are for others so they say hey maybe i need to get my act together mystical experiences are nothing but detours distractions diversions you need to keep going deeper
  8. 10k steps = 100 minutes of walking ... is what works for me ... i split into three sessions, morning afternoon evening ... i really enjoy these in addition i do 100 x sits ups push ups toe touches every time i take a bathroom beverage break which is about 6 x a day
  9. truth is your level of consciousness to decrease it mingle with the world, to increase it spend time going in not going out
  10. we are given a few breaths here ... did we incarnate in this body to spill our life seed like a monkey? ... are we satisfied to die tonight? as for me i give my all in putting in a good shift today and then if my dream ends i am more than happy with game over
  11. happiness isn't getting what you love but loving what you get
  12. i think it needs faith / trust ... you have to realize the kingdom the treasure the birthright is within and outside is make-believe how do you get faith? look at someone you admire and see what is working for them and emulate it
  13. after the not this not that approach, it is realized that god can't be known god can't be experienced god can't be felt ... it is realized all that was mental trickery ... after all who would know god? even god doesn't know god, it would need to enter the world of language to explain itself ... god is way beyond mental games ... no-words no-experience no-self is the god portal
  14. yes same, just remember that the journey of a thousand miles is completed one step at a time hang in there for existence well knows the sincerity in your heart
  15. you have to assess another's level of consciousness ... it is probably lower than yours but how much lower ... are they a reasonable person or are they beyond hope of betterment... in the later case you better not interfere with them since you will provoke them to worse outbursts and onslaughts ... if you feel the person wants to learn and improve then i say it is within your remit to teach them a give them the medicine they need whether that be the gentle softly kind or the tough love kind ... anger is acceptable in this case since it a way of deeply communicating to another the extent of the pain you suffered from them ... this can perhaps be enough to jolt them into getting their act together family drama and conflict is a whole huge can of worms and has to do with power relationships and some inflicting abuse and trauma on others so i think i will leave that for now though i empathize greatly with the hardships you have endured and truly hope you are seeing some light in the tunnel
  16. authenticity is risky, fakeness is easy
  17. it is fearlessly being what the moment needs as best you are able ... you are not especially able but you can do something
  18. the divine triune revelations are inside outside beyond or logos spirit transcendent ... start inside, the kingdom of god is within, be silent path is ... 2 to 1 to 0 to all ... false self to true self to no self to all self ... no self is the collapse of the inside outside duality
  19. if the world does seem to touch me, my boundaries are not good enough, for example i need to stop watching so much toxic youtube
  20. peace is nothing to do with the world, it is what i bring to the table i have no say in what goes on in the world so why would i lose my peace over it anything can happen and most likely will ... i know this ... so why would i lose my peace over it the world does not touch me, i touch the world, i either bring peace or i bring war
  21. if you always agree or (always disagree) with people you are being inauthentic authenticity is agreeing sometimes disagreeing others and standing up for your particular point of view you are giving them a sample of the real you, the one they need at the moment, the one that may correct them from poor decisions
  22. yes ... if people pointedly transgress or violate your boundaries, it may be righteous to take measures to demonstrate displeasure and indignation hard to think of cases where you physically retaliate but there could be scenarios, an exampe of which is the clip above you have to pick your battles carefully and also you have to weigh the likelihood of will your action bring about change in their behavior or not usually best to do nothing but on the other hand don't become the local whipping boy and yes this story is spoken of in all 4 gospels of the bible: The narrative occurs near the end of the Synoptic Gospels (at Matthew 21:12–17, Mark 11:15–19, and Luke 19:45–48) and near the start in the Gospel of John (at John 2:13–16).
  23. their hate is needed to test how awake you are you need more work to become untouchable unflappable dispassionate empathetic when you bring awareness to the lion's den you will be indifferent to whatever malice is hurled at you indeed you will be an agent for transmuting their negativity into civility sticks and stones break my bones and words they never hurt me
