hedonism/asceticism is for a person is there a person here

for me i don't think about this work i set it in stone and do it ... if i did think about it there is no way i would be able to follow through i do listen to the body, when it was too cold this winter i stayed in bed, i know the temperature that makes the sitting unbearable, i don't negotiate with myself and say you did good this week take a day off ... no i take days off for explicit reasons ... what i know is the mind will use any trick to stop me meditating, its life is on the line, so i have to set the plan and stick to it meditation is the answer to every ill in life for me ... this is not an opinion this is my experience ... if you knew me a year ago you would agree that i am unrecognizable for me it is not self help but self halt

of myself i do nothing is the same as the buddha saying sit until you get to no self so that god can take the wheel

it is damn arduous and a not for everyone sacrifice getting up in the dark the eerie silence the cold every morning i am giving it all for what i consider the most important thing i will keep giving more and more as my body allows i seek absolutely nothing except a fantastic now

everyone acts according to their level of consciousness do you know their past their pain their parents for example? have mercy ... you are not that virtuous ... why you don't remove the log in your own eye before you criticize the splinter in mine everyone has the same destiny and everyone is taking a different route to get there your route is not their route and your speed is not their speed

put in a life time's effort in one day and see if god gives one more

utter exhaustion ... you went to the max... you survived you thrived ... what didn't kill you will build you ... you did god proud and will be recompensed as a good and faithful child ... to him who gives much to him much will be given ... this is the well lived life and the only sound night's sleep

welcome ... contemplate that there can never be one like you, you bring the best thing ever to the table, no one will ever unleash the riches you alone produce

existence equals created plus uncreated created was created from the uncreated uncreated was ... not created your job is to go from created back to uncreated ... from the dreamed to the dreamer ... that's where the fun is

there are two hearing every message the ego and the god your trouble is you yourself as ego can't get god's attention can you that's what meditation does

forget life ... what have you done of value today ... don't go to bed til you have done something of value ... then you can die happily

jealousy is 2 things 1. i compare myself unfavorably to others, i am not as valuable as them ... namely i have self esteem issues 2. i think my partner is open to dumping me ... namely i have trust issues with this particular person eliminate either one and jealousy is gone or better eliminate both

only mom will take a bullet for the child you won't

want to go to bed tonight collapse into bed utterly exhausted then to get up tomorrow just as exhilarated and exuberant fear it not gonna happen but trust me it's okay i have put in the work today and i am ready and willing to call it a day

samadhi is indistractability, imperturbability, unshakability, impassivity <Impassibility (from Latin in-, "not", passibilis, "able to suffer, experience emotion") describes the theological doctrine that God does not experience pain or pleasure from the actions of another being.>

you are correct yet to see you have to first know what is being talked about

what happens in meditation is none of your business

anger is the belief, the world has wronged me and i need to assert myself and right that wrong contemplate this then ask has an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth ever worked to bring harmony trust peace

i wrote a decent thread delving into the logos this morning if anyone wants to read

happiness is duality, who would want to live there

anger is something we need to get on top of in relationship it is important but has to appropriate and respectful out of control anger is unacceptable fix you first then love me

it is solvable like i said but you have entered the worldly relationship realm now instead of divine relationship ... it is just my opinion for me fights leave scars

after bad words we and they become damaged goods we see each other through new eyes can be salvaged takes time and forgiveness ... but the cat is out of the bag and cannot return
