The movie is the default for everyone; it is fear-based, lacking, toxic and painful. This is the world we are born to and inhabit. One day we want out. Yet we don't want out for fleeting moments but we want out to become the new default with life being peace, joy and beauty. First note that only thoughts disturb you nothing else. The practice is that when a disturbing thought arrives, you gently correct it saying maybe I can see peace instead of this. Then you enter the silence which will purify you of this thought. Put simply, the pause is the practice. Go there and be healed. Of course this is a momentary thing. Eventually just stay there. Nothing will ever disturb you again. You are out of all trouble. Truth liberated one from fiction. You don't manufacture peace, instead you remember peace. This is what works for me.

Meditation has to be an easing of ego to be anything. Else it will badger you to get off the mat and get productive. When ego lets up, truth is let in.

I can't know the truth. I can however withdraw untruth. This is the gateway.

Impossible for any person with a modicum of ego to meditate. You meditate for a hundred years and you get near the light say and all geo says is, nothing has changed man, you are wasting your opportunities, you are not being all you could be, you keep beating your head against a brick wall, get a life man. Every thought a person has ever has is an egoic thought. Contemplate that and see if you have a counterexample.

Most won't and many can't. Next lifetime a good chance maybe. Everyone is called. Only a rare few have the willingness it takes to listen and jump all in. The deeper you are the harder apparently the climb. And the deeper you are the happier apparently the world that offers itself on a platter.

For me its make up seeking pick up and the reverse for the man.

Running is modern-day public flogging for me. Certified suffering and not much satisfaction. Personally I prefer jump rope. I do hour a day. According to AI it works the whole body and burns 800 calories - which I need since I sit all day. I ran most days for years but won't run again. If you have a good target to aim at like you do then running can be fine.

For me it is abusing the sacred. Sex used well can elevate and evolve one deeply. That's its purpose. https://ia903105.us.archive.org/18/items/alloshobooks39883p/Osho a.k.a. Rajneesh (312 Books)/From Sex to Superconsciousness.pdf

Yes life should better until the day you die. Keys in no particular order are MEDS - meditation exercise diet sleep. Improvement doesn't matter. Just show up and put in the time. Other people are fine just don't let them dilute you.

Stop comparing and stop complaining. Everyone is on their way home. When it is, is up to you. Stop looking at others except as a means of getting home. Just a heads up that if you exclude one person even an Epstein you will remain here spinning your wheels. Love don't compare. We are the same.

Good blog post today on this worth a read.

Casual sex is an oxymoron, the ultimate entrapment and obstacle for men as well as women. Nothing good can come of it. Except perhaps - good that's the last time I ever have to do that. Since I saw the deep damage caused. Mine even more than theirs.

Meet people where they are at. If they want gods and gurus, give them. While people believe they are a body, you have to teach accordingly. If you are a body, you cannot imagine God otherwise since you think you are the pinnacle. If you tell someone, they are God, the ego will hijack the idea and run amok. Steps, stages, signs and symbols are useful tools on the way to the wordless absolute.

Regret is the signature of every ego. I should have done things differently! No you shouldn't. You can delay realization yes but you can't stop it. Delay is to party here a bit longer with the hot chicks. God is fine. As the good book says: Nothing real can be threatened and nothing unreal exists.
