  1. Daily walks on the beach. The ocean is something else. It's like visiting some kind of magical therapeutic art gallery.
  2. So there's no divine type laws etc, informing reality behind the scenes, that one could become conscious of, ie your saying it's all just unknowable mystery ?
  3. True, and you can also add that most spiritual philosophy probably seems nuts to normies.
  4. How does nothing turn into something, is it just pure magic ?
  5. Just discovered this guy recently, and every time I listen to him, more and more of the sense of separate self just seems to melt away without any effort. Kinda magical really. It's gotten to the point now that when I think of memories of the past, there are impressions of past events, but I can't find a me in those memories, quite trippy.
  6. I'm bamboozled. Please can you say a bit more about this ?
  7. Those events never actually happened (That would be a brilliant defense in court, I'm sorry ur Honor, that never actually happened)
  8. It is funny though, paying someone else to find yourself
  9. Come on, what am I missing, please explain
  10. My apologies, I skipped this video last night. He seems to imply that spiritual teachers are tainted when they make a living from this work, because they then have a profit motive. So he says even donations is a red flag. (He seems pretty far up his own ass) I'm sure there are many spiritual teachers out there who are tainted and not in integrity when it comes to the money aspect. Jim's message gives the individual nothing, no techniques etc. And the message doesn't change. I just don't see any agenda there. As far as the money aspect goes, I see that most of Adyashanti's videos on youtube are now for members only. So according to the guy in the video, Adyashanti is a fraud. Nah, a brother just gotta eat. @Elliott
  11. Not sure what you mean, it seems you're implying spiritual teachers are somehow wrong for charging money. Do you think a Rupert Spira retreat is for free ?
  12. This is 2026, not 1926 India, God bless Papaji and Ramana, I love them, but good luck sitting with a begging bowl on the street today. Money is neither good nor bad. It's high time spiritual people grow the fuck up, myself included, I really want to teach this type of invaluable stuff to people, and I honestly don't see why I should be poor for doing so. This doesn't mean that I need to be greedy either. I think you can offer freebies and charge good money simultaneously. Thus you can serve the poor and the rich. (I think I read somewhere that in the old testament it said that if a wife cheated on her husband, she should be stoned to death. What if this whole hangup that many spiritual people have around receiving decent money for invaluable services, is just as rediculous and outdated. Why the fuck should doctors and lawyers live well, but spiritual masters who provide something beyond value itself, should grow their own vegetables, get fucked spiritual ego)
  13. Yeah, somehow I don't think that when I was still a complete newbie, that Jim's message would work on me then. But maybe there are newbies that get it quickly.
  14. Lets go Morocco ! (Most African teams ever to make it to the knock out stages)
  15. Yeah, and the retreat might actually be actualized.org's first public event.
  16. Should be good fun. (I'll only travel to America again when Trump's gone. Don't want to be stopped at the airport and sent to a Haitian prison by mistake.)
