Yes. God is smart. He gives us lots of paths. The ancients discovered meditation from sex. That is how tantra was discovered. The peak gives a peek. Good meditation is not so different from good sex. The practice becomes to extend the bliss into every waking moment. Awareness, empathy and presence replacing selfishness, vulnerability and reactivity.

God's will is unimproveable. He even coins words out of thin air.

The reality underneath the hallucination. Take each first letter.

Survival and awakening are antithetical and exhaustive (meaning there is nothing else) - contraction and expansion, exclusion and inclusion. Truth accommodates, unifies and sees benefit in both. My claim is everyone is happy being evil to stay alive another day but let's just keep it quiet and uncontemplated - for example randomly blowing up schools in the name of might. To that end, another day could be my awakening. Oh happy day! Thus evil leads me to Truth. QED

Glad to see that you are amenable and gracious. The mind is awesomely powerful. What helped me learn to take change of the mind is A Course in Miracles. I commend it to you. For example one of its lessons is, I am not upset for the reason I think, I think people are upsetting me, right? No. I have decided I want to be upset and so I choose to project that and blame someone. My mind does it all. It fixes the whole world exactly as we want to see it. We have made it and likewise we can unmake it. So how to be a good. First gain control of the mind rather than being its slave as everyone is. The course has 365 lessons to help one per day. Once the mind is brought to heel, it will tell you what to do. This is called divine guidance. It is God pulling the strings and using you as his instrument. This is the only good there is.

This is because we believe actions make a difference. The only power in the universe is mind. You can't change anyone. You can heal everyone. Being social is licking each other's wounds. The sick contaminating the sick and all trying to feel better keeping each other in prison. We need to wake up.

here are big girl and baby girl

Meditation is to hang out with the unconditioned me and post-meditation bring that forgiving presence and healed perception to all I encounter.

I can't change the world. I can heal the world. They may not feel they are healed and thereby not change. So the world won't change. Or maybe they will. Not in my hands. I will heal no matter what. You first. Since that is how I heal me. How do I heal you? Simply change what I think about you. Mind is the only power. Action profits nothing or no one.

Peace is the truth. Everyone knows but buries it. Because ego says if I am peaceful people will slaughter me. I better stay on a war footing. Truth is, peace is best. Peace is ever present just needs to be remembered each moment. Only I disturb it with mad interpretations while going about my day.

Yes you are right. That's why Truth=Love is important. If you are not aligning with Love, you are off track. Love needs to be factored in every moment and that needs serious work as Leo always points out. God's Love is a higher love than ours.

If what I wrote resonates with anyone and you want more details, read The Disappearance of the Universe. One of its claims is that forgiveness will save you many lifetimes of suffering and toil. The book gives a gentle introduction to A Course in Miracles.

One day the universe WILL self destruct. Just a matter of time. What happens here is nothing to do with Truth. What we are is Truth. We return to Truth either now or later. It is inescapable. Sooner seems better from a human perspective. but doesn't matter. Interestingly enough, God has provided an escape hatch as I discussed above - forgiveness.

It is an intentional way to look at the world. Through this lens, evil is regarded as being fear, confusion, misperception and mindlessness.

Ah yes, you combine two different responses. But yes it is the same thing. I am using forgive in a deeper than everyday sense. The everyday sense applies but this goes beyond. Forgive means to affirm that nothing real can be threatened and thus I drop the idea that something bad happened because I being absolute am invulnerable to harm.

Morality is a mental invention. People subscribe because they feel they must. In a pinch they do what is best for themselves.

I can behave any way I please. To suffer is to make an identity of it. My identity is what is absolute about me. Being awake to these things means I can be flexible. One day I might kill. The next day I say no big deal. What I do is irrelevant. I might decide to be altruistic. Next day I change my mind as to what that even means. No problem since it does not define me.

Do you understand the first part? Second part is because trying to forget is like me saying for the next 5 minutes you must not think of a pink elephant. Your subconscious will keep bugging you to remember it. You can't force forgetting since the forcing keeps the memory alive.

My identity is immutable. How I roll day to day is up to me. I can choose ways that make life easy or ways that bring suffering. Nothing is fixed in the relative. It's all good.

So be a chameleon in the relative world. I only support Arsenal since they are going to win the league. Next season I'll will be back with City.

There are two forgettings. If you forgive you eventually forget. If you forget and didn't forgive, karma coming after ya.

Do want you want in the relative world. Be who you are in the absolute. The two do not conflict or interfere.

God is immune to evolution. Only I change. To block out God every moment. God is happy to wait. In fact, its role is just chilling. It is not aware I am even gone. I just tell myself I am gone to prove change exists. Luckily God gave me a tool to stop bs'ing. It is called forgiveness. Forgive this silly dream and be back to chill with the blissful changeless.

Ego is one untrue thought - that goes on to conjure up a seemingly mighty universe. It can't and won't help you. Its job is survival and to keep you here. First step is, I am not ego. I chose ego and I choose ego. I don't have to though. I can choose God. Ask yourself, what is an obvious ego thought. What is its the obvious God equivalent. Hang with the latter and where is ego now?
