Have downsized a life of stuff to basically one bag and just making final preparations. Wish me luck!

Human purpose is to be able to escape here at will. This is the spiritual work. As you yourself know, this is absolutely possible. This is known as dying before you die. After that you as body can do whatever you want. And what you want will align with love since you know the truth. You will live a happy dream henceforth in which you are undisturbed and untroubled. You chose correctly between peace and pain, once and for all. And when the body breathes its last, you will remain as you always were.

Understand that there is realer better deeper than this. Check out, wake up. No sweat though - take your time. Spin you wheels, lick your lips, build castles in the sand. Ignorance is bliss when that's what one knows.

I have to understand one thing. I don't understand. If I can see it think it touch it feel it, that is not it. The world is incomprehensible. Understanding that I don't understand is the only way to awaken. Understanding gets you zip. You make yourself feel good of course but - you are just a deluded scientist who knows zip.

Be the Christ to a hurting world. You are their only hope. And know well, only saving them will save yourself. To see God is to be God. Might want to take a look at an updated version of Christianity called A Course in Miracles. For starters read The Disappearance of the Universe.

I am God but I have thoroughly brainwashed myself otherwise and billions concur on that. The work is unbrainwashing. And concerning that, the world cannot give you the answers. You have to look within. Gradually you will reconfigure, realign, restore, realize. Then you can get guidance if you want to.

Yes this is good. The original post makes it seem you became spiritual on a whim, for no reason. You did it to escape pain. You found the solution.

You ended up in a good place yes. But you gave yourself wounds and trauma by mistreating yourself and sacrificing the joys of life. If these are not resolved, the good place will turn into the hellish place. Pain is not the way to go in my opinion.

I will call this, the path of self-induced slavery. And you know the problem with slavery? Someone some day will be made to pay the price for your pain. You raped yourself into awakening. You will reap what you rape.

Yes. I mean force for force's sake. Force when directed is determination.

Force is always wrong. Better is to find out the benefits. Find something or someone you can trust. Force could wake you up. But you'll be a fighter not a lover. The path is gentle, unexacting, caring; what you are doing is the opposite. You can have the gold medal in the spiritual Olympics. That's not why one meditates.

Yes Thailand is becoming really nit-picky over who is allowed to enter. The entry process is discretionary and arbitrary - the luck of the draw. Cambodia is the opposite. Visas are issued like confetti.

Yes there is ill-will and resentment between the two but daily life I hear isn't affected by it.

Would be sweet my friend as I am leaping into the unknown. Are you still there? I got a few nice pointers here: https://www.reddit.com/r/cambodia/comments/1umh41f/i_will_relocate_this_month_from_london_to_phnom/

For those of us who know not truth, right?

To seek another's destruction is to bring about my own. I am doing everything to myself in this life. Any ill will lingering in me is the only cancer I need healing of. The tricky part is, that seeking another's advancement and progress is also destructive to oneself and needs to be let go. Any time I compare I am self-harming and need to find healing. Of course on the level of form, get out of dodge in the face of any ne'er-do-well. I and you are not called to suffer unnecessarily. Just know that that person is perfect and doing their absolute best the only way they see fit. But also I need to make sure to recall every waking moment that which is the truth: Nothing real can ever be threatened. Nothing real can ever be enhanced. Only in this way do I bring about peace, openness and receptivity to the absolute.

Yes! known as Land of Wonder - for any other wonderseekers out there

God makes sure here is pretty shit. Mixed in with some pretty good. God does this so you won't settle here. Your job is to get out of here alive. But take your time. Enjoy the pretty good. Here is finitely fine. Home is infinitely good. After you go home, you will chill then set up another million incarnations to play with. And so it goes.

Thank you WonderSeeker. I was torn between Thailand and Cambodia. Had offers in both. Cambodia just about edged it. Better pay and contract and visa so much easier. I feel it's more an unknown quantity than Thailand. I like adventure and challenge. Much more amenable to expats than Thailand which has dropped its rose-colored spectacles about all things foreign. Cost of living cheaper and better quality housing available in PP.

Keep up the stellar work brother! Nice description of meditation by the way - it helped me a lot and I shared with friends.

The basic wider practice is to say, no this is false, to everything that appears. Every appearance, positive or negative, is hiding God. Deny every arising appearance. You say inwardly: I am being deceived and I don't know what this here truly means. I am willing to see differently. Now keep quiet and wait until your perception is healed and God is revealed. This is the first miracle that is allowed. Heal everything similarly until God is all you see.

I edited some clarifications above. Society is what conditions and programs. Everyone is actually the same and can choose to be Jesus or Hitler or anywhere in between. It's all a choice and all up to each person.

God knows nothing about good or bad. Good or bad are distortions. God knows oneness. We all know good and bad right? and in that we are sadly mistaken. They don't exist. To no longer judge good and bad is the way back to God. Don't see good, don't see bad, see God instead. Do you understand? That's the practice. Jesus was the first we know of who did this. He saw God everywhere and thus was able to do miraculous deeds at will. I need to see God, to know God, to act like God. As BR says, we are no different from Jesus. Because God doesn't make people and personalities; God makes sameness and blank-slates everywhere. She is absolutely right.

Life has a purpose.
