and who is all this a problem for?

i feel you in your pain for wanting the proof of it all. the thing is, is that the question of them even being provable is what is causing the whole "is it real? is it not real?" argument. because weather you realize it or not, your not trying to convince yourself of something really existing or not (you already know that answer) your trying to prove if that concept exists or not. and thats what mind attaches to, is the concept.

ok its good to take on an external "norm" like gravity. its nice to get the wheels spinning. BUT its more productive to go inside rather then outside. gravity (concept or not) still exists to enlightened beings. what is it that doesnt?

its great you see it that waym but again why is it funny? i just realized the big edit lemme re-read

when you understand where everyones "boring mindless monkey chatter" comes from. you can actually enjoy it. mainly because you wont be involved in it, and them talking about themselves to a "you" will make them very happy and love "you" for it hehe

whats funny about it?

the thing about jed is that he uses the human condition to speak his message. the video game thing hit me hard when i read it. it was damn near validating because i felt a certain way. theres nothing that a body says that is true, its speaking as a body, like i am right now, its a story, its all a representation. so what that jed isnt speaking a scientific story. look at the meaning, whats behind it. what it represents, maybe misrepresents. who knows look for yourself.

nice

GRATEFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i just got tingly

"if looks dont matter, how do you pick out pants?"

c'mon!!!!! this is getting boring

try contemplating, instead of meditating. its all practice and all spins you in loops but try a different loop. also, i would drop all your expectations ans accept whatever comes as how you feel in that moment and get in touch with it rather then wishing it was something else. give it a hug

i wouldnt worry about it. lead by example, not by suggestion. you cant control their minds.

i need some popcorn

i love the way you worded this

@CalamityJane then this one should get you guys moving too

flat earth is a good example to get the wheels turning. but go with something more pragmatic.,

whats zendo?

nothing else

all music is an expression, and as with all expressions, art, music, talking, emotions, falling off a cliff, getting drunk. theres always a meaning behind them that can be felt by something other then the mind

i really want to play that game

you sound very confused thats good
