Green means you want to be good and be among the good people. Going beyond green means you want truth, clarity, and directness, without judgment.

This whole "path of renunciation" thing is a misunderstanding. The only thing you need to renounce is lies, and not in five years, but always. Spiritual work is about polishing your life every day, peeling away the sticky, disgustingly soft layer of mud made of lies until only polished metal remains. The work must be constant; every second of your life, every breath, your underlying intention, your direction, your very vector of existence must be aimed at breaking through the layer of falsehood.

Wrong, That's the Old Testament. After Jesus Christ, the law changed. Circumcision was no longer required, and certain foods were no longer forbidden, etc. Everything derived from the New Testament is timeless and generally positive.

@Pox Your post shows exceptional maturity for someone who is 21. You have the ability to understand human relationships, how energies are affected by interaction. As you say, your current moment is one of expansion after a period of contraction, surely necessary and beneficial. Perhaps your path is to be a psychologist. Psychologists with real depth are more necessary than engineers in the world to come. It's clear that although you speak of insecurity, you have an underlying sense of absolute confidence in your perception. You will achieve whatever you want.if it's aligned with your talent

Life is war, a zero-sum game. Living beings kill each other and compete to reproduce. They don't do it out of hatred; they do it inevitably. Any human group in a free state will be in permanent war with the other human groups in its area. Genocide is the norm. Today, with technological civilization, this is no longer necessary, but violence permeates everything. In couples and families, there is enormous, underlying violence. At work, there is violence and struggle. To find a partner or sex, the social game is violence, structure, and struggle. In actual world around 2000 million of people don't have access to basic medicines like antibiotics. Their children are dying, and yours aren't. That's life.

It sounds like his editor has told him that sales are declining, that putting on a kind expression with a Buddha smile and a monk's shaved head is no longer enough, something more substantial is needed. Please, think about something, I'm involved in a expensive divorce.

A rock is in perpetual motion; trillions of quantum processes occur within it every millisecond. Its dynamism is simply impossible to imagine, yet it does not suffer. Only living beings suffer, due to their particular nature. A living being is a structure with its own laws within a universe with its own laws. A rock inevitably exists given the laws of the universe. A living being does not. It is a universe within the universe whose essential quality is self-preservation; it repairs itself, reproduces itself, and maintains its unique qualities. This requires suffering. Suffering is what goes against the will of life, which is to persist. Human suffering is the same suffering that occurs in a cell, only amplified by the symbolic mind.

Spiritual teachers say that desire is ego and must disappear to achieve enlightenment, but desire is an inherent part of life. Enlightenment is not the absence of desire; it is openness to the ultimate nature of reality. Let's say the self learns to erase its centrality at will in certain moments and ceases to perceive itself in a self-referential way, like an energetic rebound that only reveals lack, and instead perceives openly, without a background to bounce off of. For the self To perceive is the same as to be; the self is perception. The self, the mind, is an interface between the living organism and the external universe (letting aside all that about it's a dream etc). In fact, it is impossible for the self to disappear if you are alive and conscious; what is possible is the frequency at which it exists. The point is that the energetic cloud that links the organism to the external universe is, in fact, a living organism, a stable, self-preserving structure that seeks to persist. This self is what we call consciousness, and it can be conscious of limits or of limitlessness. In the latter case, the inherent vitality of reality becomes obvious, springing forth endlessly given its limitlessness. Then the self stops perceiving itself as separate, realizes that it is an expression of the totality in a way that is interconnected with everything, and ceases to perceive lack as an absolute in order to perceive limitlessness existing as an ontological ground of reality. This is enlightenment: not realizing that the self is an illusion and all that.

The ego is more than that. When your mind is in absolute silence, there is still a barrier. There is a center, a kind of black hole into which all experience converges. A receiver, an observer, where everything ends, which absorbs all the movement of reality but remains immobile. This center is the ego. It can be an aligned, disciplined ego, one that accepts, that does not desire, that only observes. But it is still an ego. The absence of ego is the dissolution of the center. This is the difficult part of the game. The door without a door, which wants to be opened by the door itself.

@Ishanga The point of spirituality is to place yourself in an enlightened perspective. You already know that this has a large energetic component; it's not something conceptual. It requires polishing the experience, the now, from all the human mire. This, as you also know, is extremely difficult. The human mire traps you one way or another. You think you're free of it, only to realize you're swimming in it. Gurus are human, as expected, they have a very serious narcissistic component. That's why they work as gurus. It's an extremely complicated issue that isn't really defined. Non-duality wallows in human conceptual muck, neo-Advaita is narcissism in great part, Mooji, Adyashanti, Ramana present enlightenment as being "the consciousness". it's all confusing, imprecise, still to be defined. So, this forum is the same as any spiritual community: a group of people who want to find a solution to suffering and death, and they cling to their beliefs. Entering into debate under these conditions is always tense. The idea is to try to find a way to make it somewhat less tense. It's not easy. Be patient and that's it. Lack is everywhere, that's human condition.

The most magnetic and popular ones are usually fake, like Judas, more or less. The thing is, they look authentic. The other thing is: everybody genuinely think they are authentic.

All that you say is true, but what Im trying to point is that all that is a vision filtered through the human programming of lack. You see what's missing. This isn't false, illusory, or egoic; it's the necessary programming that drives life forward. But if one wants to open oneself to what is, to perceive one's fullness, the true face of reality, one must be able to deactivate this function at will. Not because it's illusory, but because it's a function of the current human configuration. It's essential to be able to do this in order not to be perpetually in a state of lack, what is madness. It's simply about stripping reality, this moment, of searching and centering. But this is very difficult because there's an inherent programming in human beings that constructs a center and seeks. Absolutely everything is filtered by that.

Infinity also means infinite impossibilities. Anything that happens in infinite reality will be synchronized to infinite power with me writing on a phone right now. Anything that deviates even a micro quantum vibration from this is impossible.

Of course, adopting an absolute perspective is an acquired skill that requires eliminating the center. You can't live without a center; the center is necessary to function as a human being, but being able to erase the center at certain moments is essential so that life doesn't become a trap.

Totally agree, An essential part of the spiritual path is striving for what is best for me: letting go of burdens, choosing the right path, avoiding negative or destructive behaviors, and seeking the fullest development of my potential at all times.

Everything you say is correct from a human perspective, and the desirable thing, at least for me, would be a world without cancer or injustice, and the wisest thing is to strive for that. But from an absolute perspective, stress, disease, injustice, slavery, pedophilia, and the torture of children at the hands of their mothers, in the case of it occurs, is the most optimal option for the becoming of reality. It's an absolute realization, something that you can see now, not an idea. the reality is developing right now, this is the developing of reality, me now writing this, and maybe tomorrow I am paralyzed, retarded and psychotic screaming in a hospital, and that's would be the most optimal development of the reality

Not everything, just whats possible and optimal. There is not a reality where half of all beings are Donald Trump and the other half are Epstein, and they all live in harmony, in love. What exists is the unfolding of possible potential at its most optimal level. Look at the laws of the universe, the cosmological constant, it's 10 rised to -122, if it were 10 rised to -121 our universe would be a soup without form. This is not the design of a god nor a coincidence, it is the most optimal option making its way, the synchronicity happening because what is not synchronized to infinity is not possible.

There's a concept that defines the essential nature of the universe: fine-tuning. Everything happens in the most optimal way possible. If there were a more optimal way, it would happen. Your current thinking that human society isn't optimal is actually the most optimal possibility. This doesn't mean being passive; on the contrary, if someone has the impulse to change things, that impulse is a consequence of fine-tuning. But if you want to put yourself in a broader perspective for a while, you have to be able to see things from the outside, without human bias. Then it's clear that the level of optimization in reality is beyond comprehension. It's a self-regulating system that spontaneously finds the optimal option from a global perspective. Perhaps Hitler and Auschwitz don't seem like optimal possibilities, nor do mass extinctions or cancer, but they are. That's doesn't mean that I don't care if I have cancer in the brain, just understanding the panorama from outside of our preference, even that preference is inevitable because it's genetically incoded

Reality unfolds in the most optimal way possible. From subatomic particles interacting to Donald Trump on Epstein's island, to you seeing it all as a big shit. It's absolute perfection.

Well, we are doing better . Just a few generations ago, slaves were sold in markets, entire populations were wiped out, and if you traveled without an army, you were killed or enslaved. Everyone considered it perfectly logical that the strong should subdue the weak. It's the law of life: eat or be eaten. Now, there are attempts to soften this essential nature, but it underlies everything. The basic nature of life is brutal. Peaceful coexistence is not natural; tribal warfare and slavery are.

There is no good and bad for a stone, because it doesn't need to preserve itself. It's good and bad for a bacteria, because it needs to protect itself, rebuild what's broken, reproduce, try to endure. Life is another phase of existence, and it's built upon fight. Then, evil is everywhere.

The difference isn't that we're worse politically but that in less developed societies, chaos, death, and disease are accepted. In our society, it's obligatory to be happy, fulfilled, good-looking, and take cool vacations. In another era, the Assyrians impaled an entire city for offending the local bigwig, but even so, their underlying mindset was much more connected, less narcissistic, and more direct. Ancient elites weren't better than today's; political and religious powers were absolute tyrants, pharaohs who would skin you alive for looking at them in the face or warlords sitting on thrones made of their enemies' skulls surrounded by slaves. It wasn't a party; what changed was the attitude.

There is no beyond, there is reality unfolding in interconnected patterns in perpetual motion due to the essential instability of that which has no limits. There is absolute being, and that is you, in the form of a human. Absolute being is not someone, it is being. What is because it's limitless. There are not absolute limits, only relative. Good and evil are relative appearances, like anything that appears. If you want to place yourself in an absolute perspective, you have to go beyond good an bad, at least for a while.

Good and evil are values judged from a human perspective. Good is what benefits us, and evil is what harms us. This occurs because we are built upon the desire to persist; all of life is based on this: self-preservation. God is not an entity that decides to do things; God is reality, the cosmos, the totality. If you want to adopt a cosmic perspective, you have to take a step back and rise above your preferences; otherwise, you will only see those preferences.

Innocence and pure heartness needs a strong structure to be sustained. Life is war, relationship are war, work is war, everything is war, if that innocent person doesn't know it, he's just an idiot who's going to be crushed again and again.
