Everything is projection. When you see bad people, you are just judging what is inside of you and so your senses are always seeking out witnesses to prove its own guilt. It is inescapable and completely logical if you look deep within.

I think pain doesn't need addressing directly. It is a measure of whether you are still attached in the world. If every little thing bothers you there is plenty of work to be done. And when I say bother I mean physical ailments too. The more awake I have become niggling body problems don't even register now.

Pain is one basic tool for awakening. That is why meditation needs a little discomfort to click in the reality and stick there. If you lay in your bed blissing out your chakras, you are having fun perhaps but also deceiving yourself. Pain can assuredly be transcended since the body has nothing to do with me in truth.

You need to go step by step. Other people's pain is training wheels, step one. It prepares me, it hardens me. I can easily learn to dissolve another's pain, to heal them etc. Then I can take some baby steps myself and it's not so bad. Eventually I can take the full force like Jesus did. I am not a body after all. When I accept this world isn't the reality, I am free of it and it troubles me no longer. The body doesn't feel pain in any case. It is insentient and merely doing what the mind bids. And that is to prove that this is a separated reality. That is made up nonsense.

You're not choosing out of the good and the bad. You're choosing between the patently inferior and the supremely infinite which your eyes are designed to hide from you. And you don't reject or deny or resist or oppose. You see it and you say smilingly, this isn't shit. It is nothing to me. It has no effect on me in any way. Be as brutal as barbaric as butchering as you please. It is water off a duck's back. Reason is, I know the substance. I know that I orchestrated all this to trick myself into getting triggered here. It is a self-perpetuating game. Until I stop playing along. Then it has no power. Then the good stuff starts to happen and I start to see what I am and how you and I are not two but one. I have let hell slip away and I can start enjoying heaven for a while.

Let me phrase it differently. You are not of the opinion that human existence is misery, deceit and heartache? You believe it's completely possible to die happy, fulfilled and satisfied? You think this is indeed your likely destiny?

You're good suffering all the days of your life?

Is a piece of a jigsaw useful and valuable? On its own it may be shapely and colorful but it's meaningless. Isolated it sits in a box ready for the scrap heap at any moment, right? But put together with all its other pieces it makes a lovely picture. Same as ego. Illusion is ill you shun. There too is wellness you seek. The wellness is better right? The wellness does not suffer, is not miserable, and does not die. Ego is an inferior state, a temporary blight on the landscape, a sick disease-ridden pest, any day fit for the scrap heap. But wait, there is something better when all the long lost limbs are gathered together and assemble as one, a superlative symphony in the making. So purpose is to jump from the one to the other. And this is eminently manageable. And this is the work.

You can end every war this very moment. Don't add fuel to its fire. Even DT couldn't do this on his first day in office. But he's getting better. Maybe he is timing the end of war with Nobel Peace Prize. Who cares if a few more million die. Meantime I will end all war when I choose to too. You can be such a chooser too.

They claim to be the maker's favorite people. I am deemed a second class citizen. I best smash them and teach their sky daddy who is boss here.

Meditation is, am I willing to discipline myself. And even a minute is ok. During any given minute of meditation, i tell myself, this can be the precise time when God opts to come to fruition.

Stuff in the world is incomprehensible. Science should know this but doesn't want to give up its day job and the perks therein. Until I understand that materialism cannot give answers, I will assert meaning. Meaning could be the number of hours I devote to mastery of or ownership of said thing. Yet it is rubbish. It is rank. It in going the way of the dodo. Thus I see that anything outside hasn't meaning. Spiritual work is, does the one asking have meaning? And it indeed answers affirmatively. I now reframe the outside as having one meaning: everything is a lesson or a mirror or tool for me to know me. My meaning is to get out of dodge since there's gold in them hills.

He lamely tries to mock brother. You are worth the price of admission alone. Really enjoyed your sharing in this thread. Godspeed and keep going.

I know God is, and then I cease to speak forevermore.

S-trength i-n n-umbers is the only s.i.n

Fear is, I don't want bad stuff happening. Problem is, the bad is on the way. If today is good tomorrow is bad. Welcome the bad when it arrives. Bad isn't the end. It's what makes you interesting. Every day when I work out, I work out until pain is brutal. Pain is my good friend. And it's not that bad. Take charge of your life and see how fear is equipping you for divinity.

Goals are saying, I know what is best for me. How is that working out for you? The best goal is to remember to pray, please show what is needed here. Let me see with holy eyes. Let me be an envoy that proclaims, all is like this for the best. All I have ever done is messed up the good.

Bible's god is ego's god, a god that believes in punishment and suffering. What a horrible god! God meanwhile doesn't even know you exist. Love cannot countenance fear. Truth cannot visit the false only the false can (try to) visit truth. You are a good story teller. And you choose to keep on doing so. Or not.

Unless you take home everyone you've ever met, you are not going home. That's not pickup, that's Jesus.

1. Non-familial relationships are about: giving the least and getting the most. 2. While behaving so, you are much better off to fake niceness. What you get increases greatly at no cost to you. People like nice more than mean.

How to see it right? The best word I found is forgiveness. Don't just forgive bad, also forgive good. Forgive means to pay no heed to the apparent appearance. Both bad and good want to keep you stuck here. Your eyes will always see the appearance. But you can reinterpret it immediately in the mind: This here is God!

There is imagination and there is reality. Imagination is how one paints over reality. Spiritual work is unpainting reality. Every thing when unpainted is the same. Things have emotional charges which we label good and bad. For example, sickness we say bad. Wellness we say good. These distinctions are what make for suffering and attachment. Every thing is how it must be and when I see it right, I will see what I am.

Game of role-playing being amazing, to establish TDS (top-dog-status) to all and sundry

Yes forms are, anything goes. What matters is the content underlying the forms. This is a choice, ego or god.
