Well, i would differentiate between thought and reality. thought does not create reality, it defines it. let's see, ultimately everything is unity and any difference is apparent, but we talk about the apparent now. apparently the differentiation exists, whether you think about it or not. you, as an apparently separate being, are not god, you are not creating reality, you are creation. in the end, yes, you are god and you are creating reality, and only you exist since you are existence, but apparently not, and now we are in the apparent. then, thought is not a creator of difference, but a multiplier. if you were a tuna, for example, you would not think, but you would perceive differences, say 500, hunger, fear, etc. without them you would not survive as a separate individual. as humans we are social and we develop thought. multiplies the chances of survival, and multiplies the differences up to millions. and with it multiplies suffering, which is the price of differentiation, created by selfishness, or evil. without evilness there would only be an unlimited undifferentiated field, absolute unity, that's what we are in the end, but apparently infinite differentiation, infinite creation, infinite evil. Buddha speaks of the end of suffering, but I think he was referring to the end of multiplying suffering, since the only true end of suffering is the disappearance of separation, of the individual. But it seems that they see the individual as something negative and their goal is to stop being an individual... maybe bit coward (I'm coward too, of course). If you like to be an individual, you would enjoy of suffering in some extent, there is nothing wrong on it

Maybe i didn't explained well. Yes, a lion is evil, same as human. A tree is evil too. A bacteria, or a molecule. Even a proton. Evilness is that it is what makes it possible for "things" to exist. evilness is selfishness. without selfishness, there would only be absolute undifferentiated. egoism is what makes the absolute want to be something. selfishness really is love. evil is love, a torture room is love. egoism is partition. selflessness is unity. both are sides of the same coin. both are two manifestations of love. one leads to suffering, which is love. the other to harmony, which is love. Maybe selfishness and suffering, which are always together, are the greatest love, since it separates from unity to create difference paying the price of pain. Great tale of jesus and his torture, that surrendering to the supreme pain renouncing to selfishness, returns humans to unity, or to the possibility of unity, when they were condemned to hell, which is pure love, due to their increasing tendency to separation

Not agree, good an evil are absolute. Good is unity, evil is division. the point is that evil is not "bad", it is necessary for appearance to exist. it is the tool that creates the appearance. if you are sensitive and take the life of an animal, a fish, even to eat, you will feel the evil that is in that act. it is something absolute. but it is necessary to survive and justified, so you call it "good" since without it you and your family would die. that is, you would return to unity, to absolute good. everything is ego, everything is bad, at different levels. but there is nothing bad with evil. is only apparent, unity is always the case i think that social morality takes this notion of absolute good and evil and puts them in relation to itself, not to reality. good is what unites society, makes it bigger, stronger. evil is what weakens it. Are relatives because there are many societies . If there is only one society, only one life, good and evil will be absolute again

I love you too Michael, you express the truth, direct, honest and without additives

Satan is the distinction, selfishness. what makes hitler hate the jews or that a proton is different from another proton. selfishness is what prevents reality from being an undifferentiated soup. The point is not to go overboard with selfishness, since it leads to hell. But the hell is pure love at the end. The only probem is that feels helly

Really It is the most logical option. Why escape from what you are? you are here, in this form. So expresse your potential, gives everything you have to give by interacting with what surrounds you. To do this, realize the formlessness, transcend to return to the ego. the goal is not the disappearance of form, for that is eternity. the objective is much more egoic, to optimize the potential. why? because it's great. Not better or worse, just beautiful

that's why Satan exist, to create differentiation. evil is the necessary element for alchemy to occur, that from the infinite pure undifferentiated love arises the kaleidoscope of colors and shapes, rich, magnificent and wild. Satan is pure love at the end. Creative power

Interesting that idea about coral, which I had never heard of. ok, you have awoken, you could stay in a cave in absolute fullness, but you have the opportunity to participate in the game. existence is eternal, but being this man is not. let's play

for me the difference is to live in the background anxious and empty of love, or in the background happy and full, realizing the beauty and the wonder, regardless of the circumstances. enormous difference that deserves any effort that requires dissolve the barriers that prevent the awakening . My project for the rest of the life is realize the divine wonder more and more. What else to do?

Suffering and delusion is divine . Suffering is bad is a bias. Why god create the suffering? Because it's divine, like everything else

the bias you have is such that it prevents you from seeing anything more than that: the bias. If you remove the bias, the sight of divine wonder will take your breath away. but you (and all of us) are a walking bias and cannot see anything without selfishness. spirituality is simply removing the bias. If you eliminate bias, divinity will manifest before you in everything. simple to understand, extremely difficult to put into practice

If you consider Leo as your teacher....well, you know what is his main teaching, right? It's something quite scary. Even terrifying: do 5 meo over and over again until there is not even a trace of you left, until reality is an undifferentiated soup and you become infinite love without limits. I think it's a great teaching

When I was a child there was only love, from my mother and my grandmother, who loved me tenderly, and from my father, who took me to the nature, to the sea, taught me how to use tools and explained the mysteries of the universe, and histories about risk and death that I loved. At school I loved my friends, the teachers, everything, I was an excellent student. my cousin was like my brother, we were always together playing in the nature, having adventures. When I turned 9, my father, sick with cancer, was cured but he became an alcoholic, full of anger, he insulted me, he insulted my mother, he left home, to live abroad, things went step by step from love to the opposite. He seriously intimidated me by making fun of me every time he saw me, but same time selling me that he was great, a real narc. getting in the shower with me and saying that i had a disgusting body and a small penis while he was posturing and saying that he had a perfect body, when I was 11...many crazy things, hate. I think he got crazy, smoking 80 cigarettes/day when throat cancer at 39 y.o. Some years later he died, and my mother same like 3 years before. I couldn't remember my mother for many years, every thought about her make me a shame dump. With 18 approx my life was zero love, addiction, real hell, mental sickness, but the memory of the early days gave me the inspiration and the strength to return to love, to solve the maze. a good adventure, as it should be in a human

You start talking about God. if you take god for granted you should take for granted that what it is, is exactly the god's will, down to the last proton, including your feeling of injustice regarding god's will, and down to your last and most insignificant thought, no matter if you are god. so the answer, obviously, is because this is the gods will. So humble yourself, turn the other cheek, and enjoy the kingdom of heaven.

that self-confidence was borrowed, unreal, and false. you are an individual who unfolds in the world. At the ego level I mean, which is the level of self-confidence, which is different from self-love. They told you that you were wonderful and that gave you the feeling of self-confidence, but then reality set in. Imagine that you have to steer a sailboat alone in Cape Horn. If you have no idea, even if everyone has told you that you are very beautiful and special, if they drop you in the middle, you will be blocked, and maybe have a panic attack. If little by little you learn how to do it, with humility, seeing where you fail, where the innumerable difficulties are, improving day by day, you will come to have confidence in yourself. you will be comfortable, calm, adapted. if you hold on to what they told you that you were very smart, but now the world is very unfair because things are not as they were supposed to be and you are fucked in the middle of hell and you get depressed, without learning anything, you will not have confidence in yourself, and with reason

@Muhammad Jawad i would say that you come from an extremely repressive tradition for your country and family. you have educated yourself in obligation and obedience. You are far from who you really are. Something in you has pushed you to go further. you are a pioneer, an adventurer. You have done mushrooms several times, you have searched for infinity, to God. has terrified you with lack of form. your being has opened to the void. you will never be the same. a progressive change has begun in you. the old structures collapse, the chains loosen. an anarchic being arises in you, wild for having been trapped, imprisoned. you don't know that being, you don't know what his inclinations are. you are also bound by strong family ties, forged before you were free, and your conscience completely forbids you to break them. marriage, children. your path is extremely difficult. you have to keep some commitments and at the same time free yourself. you have to be an artist, an innovator, a pioneer. Break all the limits, dare to everything, but same time keep the balance. Can you? It's a big thing but not impossible. you are a human, a race of geniuses. good luck and enjoy the adventure

self-confidence is something you have to conquer.

get ready to discover a strange phenomenon: there are people who hate the truth, they find it violent, disgusting, they can't stand it. those people will use strategies to be able to continue with their masquerade. a very typical one is to try to make you see that you are crazy, and another to block you completely, arguing that you are toxic. In fact you are. for their lie. if these people are your family, things are quite hard, but it is what it is. They are trying to keep you a submissive dog, slave as them. It's so obvious that's quite horrible that they don't realize. Over all when you are not talking about them, you are talking about you Remember, The Greeks forced Socrates to drink hemlock. for corrupting society

The thing is simple: the truth. remove every little lie from your life. be a taliban of the truth. little by little you will see that every little lie was a ballast that chained you. something intolerable. the fact of having to make up the truth to please others humiliates you, makes you a poor idiot. the pure truth, nothing more. clean, crystal clear and perfect, and if someone doesn't like... what do you care? You will find who appreciate the truth. the others are worth nothing

you have to be absolutely open with people and that social anxiety will completely disappear. Talk openly with the people closest to you about the things that embarrass you the most. if you feel a resistance, a need to hide, get over it. At first it's difficult, but goes easier very fast. You just have to start. Expose yourself completely, don't adapt to the situation, expose your thing and that's it. You will see that what scared you was nothing

The more awake, the more balanced, the less heavy ego, more authentic relationships, more effective work, more purpose, less mental rumination.

the suffering is not that bad. it is a small price to bring together the work of art, the perfect tapestry. the wonder of the matter, its intricate genius, goes far beyond what a human mind can grasp. out of empty nothingness arises a dance that starts out simple and blends into this explosion of unimaginable beauty and genius that it is right now. God himself marvels at the wonder of his genius. each of your thoughts is sublime art. every breath, every blade of grass, every exhaust pipe spewing shit, every industrial pig slaughterhouse. hallelujah to the glory of existence. Perfect, bright , glorious, overflowing with pure love

god is the best word because you think: god has many cultural connotations, let's say totality, existence, being...until at one point, the door opens, and......yesssss yeeeeeeeees that is , the glory, the everything , me, hallelujah!!!! of course: god . then the door closes and you remember that but it is impossible to live it, and better to forget because it is a mess. But the glass that was empty has been filled. the prodigal son is back. this is how this works

Celtic tribes and Native Americans , and sure many others, were given to sacrifices. the Celts also went to battle naked, as a ritual. I would say that there is more here than simple ignorance. symbolizes the unreality of the individual. its banality. the individual is sacrificed in the name of the tribe, which endures. symbolizes: the tribe is something, the individual, nothing. the gods will reward the tribe if we show them humility Not very different, but much more harder to do, the japanese, sacrificing themselves with a knife in the guts, to show the submission of the animal instinct to the will. Duty taken to the extreme. Total renunciation of instinct. for them that was to be civilized

good or bad are words, but define something that is very real. selfishness is "bad" because it separates you, takes you away from unity, isolates you and takes you away from happiness. maybe there is nothing wrong with it, but it feels "bad". If you don't mind, it's ok. Selfless make you get closer of unity, from the joy, the truth. It's your choice, you can be unhappy if you want. Nothing happens at the end
