  1. Key to sleep is, sleep at same time and arise at same time. Don't listen to body complaining and groaning. Body is lazy and cunning and prefers sleep. When you're up you feel good and when sleep time you feel good. If you don't want to get up in the night, be sure and drink same ml of fluids per day and you will sleep soundly and not stir. I drink 2l in summer and 1.75l in winter and sleep like a baby. Feel restored refreshed and ready to go. I don't use a snooze button like I used to and I always get up gladly at the beep. Sleep is key to a good life.
  2. For me no. When speaking, everyone is sloppy and light and just says yea right neat and funny whatever and you are cool man. When writing, if you do it right, you should be laser focused to sift the chaff from the wheat. Key is to say it in a couple of words. Nobody cares about screens full of salad.
  3. You are correct that reality itself cannot of course be a dream, because dreaming presupposes a limited subject who drifts into and out of states. What is unlimited does not enter states. Yet within the appearance of a world, one's sense of being a separate self is taken to be unquestionably real, and with it comes one's experience of living in this shifting, unstable realm. In that seeming realm, “dream” and “illusion” act usefully as provisional tools. They meet the ones who believe they are a body-mind where they think they are and they provide symbolic actionable steps for loosening that belief. As these symbols are recognized for what they are, mere devices reflecting the mind’s unconscious projections, the conditions are thereby set in place through which the veiled depth of reality can dawn. Yes nothing actually changes in what is real. What changes is only the willingness of a seeming self to let go of the mechanisms that kept reality obscured. When these devices have served their purpose, they can fall away, and what remains is the simple fact of being itself, which of course was never altered.
  4. Wealth needn't corrupt. It's poverty you have to worry about. Becoming poor you haven't a chance at truth. Poverty makes you brain dead. Just look at a monk. Never had an original thought.
  5. Outstanding thanks. In meditation this is equivalent to going from I am that to I am to am. I work on such a practice each day and sometimes arrive. What you wrote is a solid simple explanation.
  6. Everyone's a slave. Your parents make you that way that you stay that way. Don't dare be irresponsible! I need you here. Not to mention your priests politicians professors. Have a countdown is key to cutting the umbilical cord. Most won't. Most don't.
  7. It's just one factor that will kill you. Each year you dodge one more bullet. If you live until 90 almost certain you have cancer. You can still live fine and won't even know you have it. Treat cancer talk as a call to wake up before it's too late. Imagine you are sure to die Dec 31. You better do what you put off all these years. You may not have it as good next time round should you get another turn. You have everything needed right now to wake up. Let cancer be your clarion call. I have heard of many people awakening after getting cancer - check YT. Because with that news, what else could matter?
  8. Trauma is served up for as long as you need the lesson. You are untouchable. Even by an Epstein. Seeing it or suffering it are the same lesson, different intensity. You will get it while you need it. You crafted the lesson. You know what you are doing.
  9. My life mission is about avoiding discomforts and enjoying comforts until death does its part. This is considered the good life. So sue me! If you can't beat them join them. Am I doing life wrong?
  10. When I see a tree, I see the form. Form is paper over the formless bottomless absolute essence. How to realize and experience this? Forgiveness of the specific tree. I birth the form, I ditch the form. I placed the tree there for a reason. Well many reasons in fact. But only one is important. The tree is exhibit one that I am a separate form. I launched it from my mind to serve that very purpose - to convince me of and entrench me in separation. No I am wrong about that and have pretended for too long. Me and tree are both the same thing - finite forms opening to the infinite formless. I now forgive myself for the self deception of making a universe of separation devices. I at last awaken to the glory of the absolute essence that I am.
  11. Yes. But forget the evil doer. Focus on you. How am I going to live is the only question.
  12. Evil is whatever lets badness proliferate. An it's not my problem attitude. Today's world is cast in stone. Tomorrow's world depends on me. Do I end badness or turn the blind eye.
  13. Women just want to be taken care of. And if they deny so they assuredly agree they are not taking care of any man. Attraction and body count amounts to cash in the bank. Or at least presenting the appearance of one who can take care of her and her needs. Drunk sex and mercy sex being some exceptions that over time make her feel a loser,
  14. The goal of life is every day be better. What you have to do is get more free. This means dumping all the shit that is holding you back. Liberation is doing what you want. It takes a lifetime. You don't get there. You get better at it as you go. My life is always improving. And always will is the claim.
  15. AA is religion - rules rituals routines relationships as opposed to spirituality which is stay at source. Can the former take you all the way? Sure if you go hell for leather at it. I had AI write the 12 steps in terms of the highest truth:
  16. On June 22nd at the Rose Bowl I attended the US defeating Columbia 2-1 in the group stage. What a day! Featured one of the most audacious bicycle kicks ever seen at a World Cup by the US's Marcel Balboa and 14 days after the match the Columbian whose own goal lead to their defeat, Jose Escobar, committed suicide. Two weeks later on a glorious and joyous July 4th, the US acquitted themselves exceptionally well in the round of last 16 at the Stanford Stadium going down 1-0 to the eventual winners Brazil.
  17. You treat transcending pain either as an end in itself or as means to realize I am not a body. First is ego second is spirit. Pain is a useful tool. To be awake is to be beyond pain. It is a gradual transformation. Best way is relationships. Make them pain free. Body isn't such a big deal.
  18. Prayer is indispensable. Prayer is to keep prodding yourself into accessing your higher self. You are not what you think. You can't escape here without keep reminding yourself what you are and what you're here for. You forgot yourself and you need to jolt yourself out of the stupor you're in. A good prayer is, Please let me see all this differently. Right now everything you see say and know is false. Prayer has to be a way of life not some words that make magic,
  19. Success deserves a reframe. Who wants to succeed in a video game and have themselves immortalized by that? Success is to exit the game, rewrite the rules rework the terrain rejig the limits and then return to the game to chill in boss mode knowing the game is a game. Equivalently, success is, Holy Spirit give me what you have for me not what I want for me. My choices have brought nothing but disaster and drama. Success is fulfilling your purpose for why you came here, namely to overcome the barriers to becoming what you really are. The game is the barrier. It can't touch a hair on your head though you are living as though it can. Get right out so you can go back in.
  20. The first rule of business is customer has to approach you first. They need to seek out and check out your wares. If you put them in front of my eye balls unbeckoned you are unscrupulous and I block you forthwith. Bottom line is I will call you. Don't ever call me.
  21. Human is an antenna for the thought totality which is dependent on the collective consciousness. Namely you can receive a thought that the collective humanity has birthed if and only if you conscious enough. When you are ready then you will receive. There are quality thoughts that reflect truth such as I am whole and inferior thoughts that deepen illusion such as I am limited. Purify yourself to gain access to higher calibre thoughts. In short be still and know the I am is God.
  22. It's the from trust to truth journey. You already got the first 3 letters correct. Will take lifetimes for most of us. But it only takes a second. Just drop you.
  23. The highest intelligence revels in dropping intelligence, seeking intelligence and building intelligence from ground zero. Know-alls have nought damn else to do.
