No you are correct. There is no hurry. Stay and enjoy. Heaven nor God are inconvenienced. Do what resonates and have fun to the max.

Loneliness means we're all different. Oneness means we're all the same. Easy to understand intellectually - we all have identical DNA. The hard bit is to live as though I am the same as you. What you need, I need too. And I don't mean form, I mean content. Only if you forgive me are you forgiven. Because we are same. You forgive me by letting go of the judgement that convinced you I am imperfect. You need to change your perception of me. I am your only chance of waking up. How could you be lonely knowing this?

Here's what happens. I escape God and forget about it entirely. (Everyone did this and there is no recollection or knowledge of God here.) Good job me - am now as free as a bee. Yet deep within I feel wretched and petrified that I messed up. So what can I do? Simple, I will dream up a you on my daily screens and dump all that guilt onto you. You are the bad guy bro. All evil be with you and I am completely sweet and innocent. Alas I need to throw you under the bus so that I allay my guilt and be heralded in the world as one of the good decent fine exemplars of humanity. Thank you for your service bro. It was nice knowing you.

Better balls to the wall life purpose and make something of life. Plenty of time for metaphysics and epistemology. Do those when you're comfortable.

Yes. But why be so silly when heaven is in your midst and awaiting your remembrance. Ego wants you to play such games for lifetimes.

Online is good in that it shows you that you only ever talk to yourself and for your own benefit. Face to face that realization is harder.

Yes. Namaste.

Words are to split reality into this and that. Reality is this and that is therefore impossible.

Body doesn't respond to world but mind. Aspirin is magic. You ask for the migraines. You want them. It's your great lesson or your great crutch. You need a miracle not magic. A miracle means you see things properly. Through this lens, illness and health are the same. To see illness means you want to keep the dream going a bit longer. Everyone loves an illness just like everyone loves death. They save me from having to drop my illusions. If this rings true take a read of ACIM - it's free online.

Universe likes to divide itself into two: light dark in out body other. It is arbitrary and false, a sleight of eyes. Eyes tell lies until you realize real eyes. There isn't two. My body is a hand puppet of God experiencing the universe. And you are likewise. The work is to get in touch with God instead of the body. Find your source. ACIM put it this way - I am not a body. I am free. I am just as God created me. Identify yourself correctly. As such you remember what you are.

Just use booze, lingerie and face paint like the rest of us.

It's either Nobel Peace Prize or all hell breaks loose. Either one is good in terms of poll numbers for me as president.

It's a pointer that you are NOT the person looking back at you in the mirror. Meditation is to reveal what you are. It is simple but not easy.

Learn to say everything in one sentence. Or at worst a small paragraph. This is how you own knowledge. Example: do you know what anger is? Anytime not getting expected result. Note it's not just one sentence, it's an acrostic. You won't find my knowledge in a book

First realize that no ego can have a true mystical experience - though if you visit these forums you will certainly hear people say otherwise. In addition ego will claim there is no progress no benefit and no realization taking place. In fact it will bemoan only the negatives: waste of time, of energy and of opportunity. Its very life depends on this entire approach to meditation. In short there is only one meditation. To sit quietly and watch the ego. Don't try to change it, just watch attentively. What is seen is that it isn't you. You don't have to follow its promptings. Ego will be seen to have a specific agenda. You always have a different choice available in every situation. This is liberating to realize. And when it is implemented in life, this is called liberation.

Wealth hording is envy projection. If I am a billionaire, I most likely have access to very little of that. All that money is simply the paper value of the business I created. I just as likely have less money in the bank than you. Why would I give away my money? That will be an assumption someone else can spend my hard-earned better than I can. My money is doing what my vision set it up to do. I over time will distribute it in ways I see fit. And that's nobody else's business but mine.

Happiness to me isn't worth a lick. Your happiness is my sadness and conversely. Joy is the way. Joy is doing what you're meant to be doing. It's a decision not a state. Sure feels good. Joy isn't a high; it's a constant undercurrent of satisfaction and certainty. Yes I lose it plenty when the world has its way with me. Then I need to recall that the world is the tool I make to awaken me. And so no pain just joy.

Nice one. I joined a monthly book club in 2012. 300 pages, 30 days, every month. Haven't missed a meeting. Made a ton of friends. Downed a lot of good wine. I recommend. If there isn't one nearby, start one yourself then you get to choose the books.

My metaphysics is that pain is the clue I don't align with God. God won't allow any pain to ruin its perfect creation. We dream pain as the price of trying to be god of a tiny universe. God is fine with what I do and every morning calls me to wake up and enjoy the joys of home.

Ambition is for recognition as purpose is for realization.

God lets his kids dream to see how silly it is electing to flee his presence. You're good at making up universes but still mad for doing so. Where there is pain, God isn't. Thank pain for showing you that you messed up and will now do better.

Poverty is having to rub shoulders with one's fellow mankind. Riches is to buy a bigger wall. Other people are the only way to wake up. Before enlightenment poverty. After enlightenment, riches. Seek first the kingdom and this will be given you. Namely when you wake up, you can live the good life.

Fear is prominent in awakening. No ego wants to wake up or allows itself to if it is permitted any say. It's utterly frightening to be absent ego. To last in the world will be difficult. Because everything is same. To not eat is just as cool as to eat. To sleep as not to sleep. You literally have to force yourself to maintain this bag of bones. Why bother, right? You bother because your Godself may have something up its sleeve. Someone could need a hand.

The FT is Europe's Wall Street Journal. It doesn't just report the news it establishes it. It's required reading for anyone handling money. Economist is stellar too and has better depth and authority than any other weekly. Though it became more for gossip than truth, Both alas have seen their best days and are dying slow but certain deaths.
