it seems that suffering is the tool to guide us on the right path. if we sit in a fire, suffering makes us get up. If we suffer from a dysfunctional life, suffering narrows the way to go deeper and find the truth. if we suffer from the oppression of others, suffering makes us fight. if you are terminally ill, suffering makes you want to end. in the end we are puppets that go in one direction or another according to suffering or pleasure.

When you see that one thing is equal to another, that there is no better or worse, the engine that is generating the separation second by second will become slow, and it will be easy to see through the apparent and realize the limitless. Incomprehensible, unthinkable, Indefinable, untraceable. It's the destination,

that's right, there is only the totality in which there is no inside or outside, or nothing and something. there is no identity because there is nothing to compare it to, it just is, without contrast. It cannot have a self because for that there would have to be something other than that self, and it encompasses everything, so it is nothing and it is everything, neither of the two things, it is, still, total, absolute. that's what we are, but there isn't any "that"

Trying to deconstruct your memories is nonsense. your memories are there and will always be unless you suffer from Alzheimer's. the point is to remove the dynamite, the poison, the force, and that is not something you can do either. It happens spontaneously when you realize that one thing is equal to another thing, that there is no better or worse. then they go from being alive to being in black and white. something without strength, without emotion, empty

Maybe that guy was someone interested in spirituality and in 3 months he is no longer a Jew and is on this forum ranting about Jews

the leo's ego is who identifies himself, who lets go, who realizes God, who suffers, who stops suffering, who transcends, who everything, because without ego there is no who. there is only the totality. And the ego is the totality, but seems separate. That's why they say Illusion and going back to the title of the post, leo claims to know things because leo is an ego that (apparently) know things. that we are, the totality that speaks to itself

not all mushrooms are the same, there are mushrooms with more psilocybin and others with less. 2 gr can be quite strong or very soft. think of them as mushrooms, not a synthesized molecule. Get 10 or 15 grams, chop them into small pieces, try 2 gr, and depending on how you see it, you can try 4 that will be proportional. if they are from another batch, it may be radically different

Great idea, useful for dealing with people, and completely real

Well, destroy two countries is quite overreacting. As you say, the war in Afghanistan could be considered justified, but the rest ... there are no words for so much stupidity and evil together. From the spiritual point of view, there is no right or wrong, it is only reality, and reality is love. the congo guerrillas forcing 8-year-old children to torture their mothers to death to make them psychopaths are love. terror and suffering are love. That your parents sell you to a Filipino brothel when you are 6 years old, to pay for methamphetamine, it's love. the party of love. It is very difficult to understand it, I do not understand it right now, but in some moments I do

Hitler thought the same when walking through some Berlin neighborhoods. About the towers, the west bombed Baghdad in response. the attack on the towers was done by a terrorist group, the destruction of Baghdad or Libya, killing hundreds of thousands of civilians, leaving it disintegrated, in the hands of warlords who trade in slaves, was planned and executed by democratic governments of welfare states. crazy right?

I would say that for you, you are the only thing that exists, a display of imaginary dualities that can collapse and be not two, leo exist in your imagination, but for him, there is only him and you are in his imagination, and really none of the two exist but you are a set of imaginary dualities that seem to happen at the same time but really there is no such thing as "happen" but the totality being. It seems that there are infinite points of view and you are only one of them, and you cannot access the others, but the reality is that your point of view and mine, and that of a fly, are the same, but they seem several, and they are really none, only the still totality. nothing that can be understood imo

consciousness is what it is, total. the ego hides it as the fog hides the sky. the more ego, the more hidden. no ego, radiant blue sky. So raise your consciousness means decrease your ego

@Elton yes, you are bias. because without bias there would be no you. just totality. but what nonsense wanting to be you, being totality, don't you think?

The Great Way is not difficult for those who have no preferences. When both love and hate are absent, everything becomes clear and diaphanous. However, make the slightest distinction, and heaven and earth are infinitely distant. Hsing hsing ming

@Vladimir well, maybe I'm too touchy, but if someone calls me "pathetic" I perceive aggressiveness

Maybe he said it because you spoke to him in an aggressive way. now you go to passive aggressive. you remind me of a girlfriend I had???. Don't be so mean

do a mental exercise. Imagine that you undergo surgery and a wire is cut in your brain that disconnects all your senses. blind, deaf, tactless, etc. put yourself carefully in the situation. where would you be? what would you be? Imagine that after having a season in that strange situation, your memory is erased. what would you be?

incredibly beautiful, thanks for sharing

the body is genetically programmed to die. the body constantly replaces its matter, it exchanges each atom for an equal one, placed in the exact place. it is a perfect pattern that locates matter and it could be eternal, but it is not deliberately so. We are not individuals , we are part of a whole and our bodies constantly sprout and become extinct in a programmed way

You don't become a pacifist guy who meditates all day and doesn't care about everything, but you could. But the rat is always there, lurking. We have grown feeding the rat, it's never going to dissapear imo. as things get a little ugly, it goes for a run. the rat is very useful, it just can't take full control, that's not its position

if, as you say, you can meditate without thoughts, you have it easy. realize what the thoughts are. they are the activity that occurs to limit reality, to have a fantasy of control by translating reality into learned concepts. this control is the barrier that you have to relax. Besides that it is a false control, you are not controlling anything, it just seems to you. This fantasy of control is the i, by the way. once you see it, it will not be so difficult to have the courage to abandon all the concepts and the need to interpret, since you see that there is no control possible

You sound like liberation is ... disappointing ?? . There was no party, just a crazed rat running on its wheel thinking it was moving forward. liberation is taking that rat out of the equation. absolutely liberating. Who is liberated? The experience, that can flow without crazy rats interpreting everything according to his crazy criteria. Because there is a you: the reality, totally impersonal but existent, undoubtedly. infinitely richer than the wretched rat

So you and Frank yang are talking about ego cessation, no a real cessation of existence.

here is the main misunderstanding. the nothingness is, and it is you. This is not a matter of logic, it is a realization, mystical experience, or whatever you want to call it. it is to realize the being, the existence, what you are. nonexistence cannot be thought, it does not exist unless it is eternal and it cannot be eternal since then there couldn't be existence. if now you immerse yourself in non-existence, and then come out of it, how long have you been in non-existence? No time, zero. because it does not exist. The empty existence, the void is not temporary, is eternal. it is what there is, and it is still being, it does not pass, it is reality. I said that a second is the same as a thousand, but it is a bad example because there are no seconds. is, period. you can say: it is temporary because it fills up with things, here we are. but it's not like that. that's why they call it a dream. It's emptiness right now, seeming like it's not Yeah, because it's Impossible to contemplate the non existence. It doesn't exist

let imagine (although it's Impossible) that reality "was" non-existence. and suddenly existence arises. we know that existence is right now, undeniable. "was" with "" because if there is existence, there was never nonexistence, due to the very nature of nonexistence (no exist). and most importantly ... there never will be. because the current existence is not temporary. it doesn't last long, it just is. it is the same if it "lasts" a second, or 10 to the power of whatever. Is now, and on its edges or limits, there is nonexistence ... that it does not exist. there are no borders or limits, only present eternal existence.
