@Shin Uhmm, generalizing craziness and sharing it with the world is my life purpose? I slept in until 5AM this morning, woo hoo!

Do you people actually sleep? We really are a bunch of vampires.

You're missing one thing. Love. Love is the glue that holds us together, it is the understanding that our neighbor, that our enemy is us, and it is a desire not only for us to survive but equally for him to survive too. Everything else is a lie, everything else fades away. Blind trust in the way of love will never lead you wrong. Like Osho says real love is neither hot nor cold, it's cool. You've grown ice cold, and I'm still a little too fiery. Come with me, we'll sort each other out.

Everything is for survival. We survive out of love. We stay out of love. What is the evil in the world is the feeling that comes in after the awareness that says "Yes, I did that thing so that a part of me can survive" and feels bad about it. Or it hates another for doing the same thing. We're here to survive. Might as well hit the ball out of the park.

Read Walden for inspiration and do your own version.

No one can awaken you. No one can awaken. One can awaken.

Are you ok? Seriously?

Sing along with me... It's the blessed belief that baffles the Buddhist way down in the depths of my heart. WHERE??? Down in the depths of my heart! WHERE? Down in the depths of my heart, to stay.

I'm trying to think of an enlightened master who I wouldn't describe as androgynous. Is there one?

@now is forever When you're gone, I'm going to turn this place into a Jesus Camp. Praise the Lord, Hallelujah! You're so right, we do need morals. No drinking, no drugs, no whoring, no dancing, no bananas. No playing card games, no Harry Potter. Thursday night is Prayer Night. We pray for everyone's minor health problems. Dear God, please help Marsha's big toe, Amen.

She is Love. She deserves more love not less.

Someone here sent me this yesterday in response to a question. I've been contemplating it ever since. "Since everything is you, whatever seems foreign to you, is in actuality - you not accepting an aspect of you. " Nowiforever is leaving for the same reason I wanted to cling to Christian morals. I'm lost in a world of devilry and I created it all.

Honey, what were you keeping safe here? The dandelions are beautiful, you don't need to spray the grass with glyphosate.

It takes a village. Many families in our society are cut off from the a larger community or even extended family. I don't think that is good for the kids or the parents.

@now is forever Yeah, that drives me crazy, I've made multiple comments to people who have worked for me that they need to wear a mask. They have been made fun of for taking care of their health, or pressured not to do anything that could slow them down. I don't want to be responsible for them getting lung cancer, even if mine was just one project of many they do. Sometimes though, someone in management will require that a certain mask be worn, but since he doesn't actually do the work and get his hands dirty, he doesn't understand that sometimes having your vision obscured by a mask puts you in more danger than not wearing one.

@now is forever Yep, that's definitely a big part of the problem as well.

I spent a lot of my life trying to keep up with men at physical labor jobs. Raking blueberries, demoing, lawn work, whatever. It was an obvious thing that i eventually had to accept that I could work twice as hard and still not match them. When we hired out a ton of plumbing work I had to leave the house because the plumbers dope (pipe adhesive), started literately making me high. I don't remember what I said to the plumbers but I left the house and drove to my parent's house. The roads were snowy but it was warm and sunny and I remember seeing the sky reflected in the road and just being so fascinated that the road looked like it fell away into the nothingness of the sky and having an almost enlightenment experience. Then I thought about how all those men have gotten so used to those fumes, day in and day out working stuck in a basement all day. And I was really really grateful to them. Most women are too smart and care too much about their health to do that kind of work. I truly admire men who do blue collar labor, the truck drivers, the construction workers. Sure women can do that kind of work, but most can't or won't. This is a fact that we're just supposed to ignore. And our ignorance of it, is why rural America elected Donald Trump. Stage green feminism elitism has created a monster.

@now is forever Yes, it occurred to me. But all phenomena are things that we created that we won't accept about ourselves. So I'm told.

@now is forever Who doesn't get it?

nowisforever You're so vague everything you say is like fertile soil for projections, they pop up like weeds. I'm going to avoid the trap this time, I have to go do yard work. Trouble is, round up kills the bees and causes cancer.

I'm super uncomfortable making this explicit comment BUT it seems important for some stupid reason. If you're a feminist it's not about the vagina, it's about the clitoris. The vagina is for someone else's pleasure, not entirely, but it's the gateway to life. Feminine power and pleasure is about the clitoris. It has no other function.

Sorry I fucked things up.

@tsuki None of us have this figured out. Not a single one of us. Don't pretend that you do and that your wife's feelings don't matter and are her own problem.
