uronlydreaming

Projecting or not, you went right to sarcasm, and it gave me a picture of what's really going on inside you. What else could you do? I read your previous post and you were setting this all up like a t-ball so you could watch yourself hit it out of the park. It seems as if you really don't care and are just here to pass some time. I mean, what a surprise that would be. What's absent from your sarcastic rant is humility and a question. Too much for you to make that effort? Would you like to continue down that path...? Maybe it's the only one you can rely upon in times of ennui. So, please, try some humility and a sincere question, unless you really don't care about that stuff and are just here, bound by an ego that delights in amusing itself.

Really? First, know the sensations, emotions and thoughts that accompany all this. After all, this is really all about you. Even if I were God-realized or awakened or whatever, it'd still just be you reading this and, ideally, looking for more meaning and understanding about "you"... you the being, you the identified, you the machine. Let's take a second to look at what you posted... 1. "Seems to be more lower conscious types and less higher conscious types." I know you're proud, or at least content, with your contributions here, but look again. If you're complaining, and that is what you're doing, what are you bringing to the situation... higher consciousness or lower consciousness? Is this an effort by some i's to hang on to a tradition? Can you use this event to increase the quality of your posting? Maybe you need a break or a different venue to stimulate something new but it wont be change...it'll just be new stimulation showing you new material then with the possibility of change. And, I have to step out so I'll come back later. Let me know if you have any other questions because, honestly, even though you are sincere, which is beneficial, there's nothing really new or earth shattering in your comment. And why not? Because inner transformation is an Aim of esoteric study and what you did was complain and pontificate a little. That's not very conscious. Or transformational.

Well, you believe it. That's nice. And your post count, it's indicative of how much chatter there's been and can be measured against what you've come to understand. At the last exchange, it was just someone believing something and not offering anything up for sacrifice so the new could enter.

It's just a quote. What makes you think you understand it?

13,874 posts and this is your understanding? It looks as if you are just wandering around aimlessly. In your thinking, you have made a distinction between material needs and spirituality. Tending to non imaginary physical needs is spiritual. What ought to be of concern to you is whether or not you are identified. I would bet almost anything right now, that you are the words on the screen.

@Barbara I've been the target of many weak people who thought pleasing me would get me to love them. But, with wrong imagination as my accomplice, I am incapable of loving anybody, because love is a matter of understanding. How can I love you if I don't understand you. Sometimes, understanding someone means leaving them alone even if they would accept your advances... because they might also be weak and unable to say no. But if they did not have their feature (defect), they would understand that you are suffering from your feature and they wouldn't let you impale yourself on the barbed wire that surrounds their heart. If you were to play your people pleasing wares on me, for example, there's a chance I would accept, and use you up as completely as possible. And, for quite some time, you might even feel good about it... validated to the core. But when the fix wore off, you would have to do it all over again. And after a while, it wouldn't have the same effect and you'd have to double your efforts to get off on it. And I might go for that because the same old same old might wear thin and leave me bored and I'd need you to double down on whatever it is... or else I'd have to go look for it somewhere else. And I would. Inevitably, you'd end up going through the stages of grief: bargaining, anger, acceptance, grief.. You'd end up sad and depressed because you wouldn't understand what happened, what went wrong, and so you wouldn't get a handle on it; and, until you could find another target, you'd have to blame some innocent person, place or thing. Sleep is wicked. But if you embrace your helplessness, your lack of self control, you can begin to be free... and even the slightest taste of freedom develops a taste for more.

Don't do it without a teacher. Certainly, you can try but im confident it will yield no useful results. There's plenty of material for you to study as you are right now.
