Love that Jesus' teachings are the same as those of the Saints of India - let go of the world, let go of sense pleasures, this world is an illusion, a dream, simply meditate and come back Home.

Lust really is at the core of bondage to this world..

I'd hypothesize that people look exactly as who they are because when you incarnate you incarnate into a body that is representative of the mind that you enter the incarnation into. So if you had a promiscuous mind in the last lifetime and did not purify yourself, you will have a slutty face in this lifetime. If you were meditative and pure, you would incarnate into a kind/pure body, like Lisa Cairns and Anandamayi Ma. I think we can mostly see a person's intelligence in their face as well. So, if you developed wisdom in the previous lifetime, you will have wisdom. But I think you can also punish yourself -- if you were intelligent and misused your intelligence in the previous lifetime you might incarnate into an autistic/retarded body next lifetime as a karmic punishment. Anyway.. Just thinking.. Was watching porn and got into a contemplative mood - why do all promiscuous girls look promiscuous? Like you can see it in their face what's in their mind. It's just that that's universal - you can see who everyone is in their faces. Maybe.

Working sucks so much.. Even though I'm in a good position it's still not ideal. This is a huge motivating factor for letting go of the sense-pleasures and falling into meditation, where I dedicate myself fully to God and he lifts me above my karma to where I live a life of freedom, where my needs are met with working only a few hours weekly.

“Freedom, Sancho, is one of the most precious gifts bestowed by heaven on man; no treasures that the earth contains and the sea conceals can compare with it; for freedom, as for honour, men can and should risk their lives and, in contrast, captivity is the worst evil that can befall them.”

There is really no content left to consume. I mean something that's truly interesting, profound, entertaining. What I've been doing in the past few months was playing video games and watching a TV show or YouTube videos on the side. Because neither of these are that interesting in themselves. But if I combine them, I sort of feel occupied and satisfied. But now it just feels like there's nothing really valuable or truly entertaining to watch. Everything is so stupid, so trashy, so violent. Wish I could find another good tv show like shits creet or smthng. But just in general I’m just moreso distracted than ever truly entertained these days. Which is good, getting tired of this useless content and seing no value in it helps me to let it g, combined with the cost if pc and phone making me tired, sick and dreaming nightmares.

Was watching the show Preacher this last week and now had a dream of my guts being ripped out. Hate when this happens — dreaming nightmares based on the shows I watch. Characters were mean and selfish just as in the show. Another morivating factor to stop plating this game of sense pleasures.

Forgiveness is very much about realizing it’s not personal at all. It’s just them, who they are, it has nothing to do with me. Someone is rude? That’s literally just them being miserable and expressing that. Nothing to do with me at all. That liberates.

https://www.facebook.com/share/r/1CGwXcqR4P/?mibextid=wwXIfr haha true. Addiction is not just in the mind, it’s in the chemistry. There are withdrawl symptoms when going from a sense pleasure lifestyle to a God-centered one. This whole life is one big drug addiction and breaking it is not easy, but required for awakening.

Solipsism is peace. It means there is nothing you need to do or change. Nothing means anything. You never did anything wrong or right. Nothing ever happened. But if you only keep solipsism at the conceptual level, then yes, you will feel unfulfilled. Realizing life is a dream is only the first step to ultimate peace and liberation. The second step is to go beyond concepts to a place of Peace inside and live from that Peace until that Peace dissolves the dream and you enter Mahasamadhi.

I still feel so sluggish. It takes time to rebalance the chemicals in the brain that became unbalanced because of the inappropriate sleep schedule. Ruining sleep is such a bad idea. Other things have an effect too, ofc, like spending a lot of time in front of a screen, eating fatty processed foods, not exercising. That's the cost of not living a sattivic life. Feels like living underwater. Drowsy.

Satori (Japanese: 悟り) is a Japanese Buddhist term for "awakening", "comprehension; understanding" The word derives from the Japanese verb satoru. In the Zen Buddhist tradition, satori refers to a deep experience of kenshō, "seeing into one's true nature". Ken means "seeing," shō means "nature" or "essence".

Why did I fail my life of Purity before? Probably not enough wisdom and spiritual maturity. Didnt see clearly the cost and consequence of choosing to be in the world. Still had hope in the world. Didnt see that all roada of the world lead to despair. Still believed in manifestation.

Another profound benefit of being totally commited to God is that it lifts you above your Karma. When I live a life of one mindedness I am so blessed. I dont have to work. Nothing bad ever happens. The universe supplies all my needs. Not one seeming difficulty melts way before I reach it. I need take thought for nothing except the only Purpose I would fulfill. Amazing. Grace.

. one of the fastest effects of god dedication is what happens when I go to sleep. When I live a life of Purity I begin to enter the first stages of Heaven in my “dreams”. I meet Saint Mary and become One with her, drowning in bliss. I fly through incredible celestial realms. I dream of walking through nature filled with heavenly light. And when I live a life of sense pleasures I only dream nightmares inspired by the nonsense I did during the day, the tv shows I binged and video games I played

why? When I live a sattivic life I feel sattivic and I begin to taste Heaven. God begins to visit me and I drown in bliss. When I live a life of sense pleasures I feel drained, tired, empty, with interspursing moments of pleasure. Its my choice - a God-dedicated life or sense-pleasure life. Everything has to be sattivic, from the way I dress to the way I speak, think, eat, what I watch, listen to, where I spend my time. Everything has to be sattivic, God-oriented, harmonious.

In terms of a sattvic, Brahmacharya, God-dedicated life, here’s my plan: Read scripture daily (got kindle today) no more tv shows and video games and porn some funny stuff or cat videos are ok, like 30mins a day. Get a cat (maybe, pray for Divinr Guidance for a yes or no) listen to music, sacral yoga helps dancing, walking helps sattvic food sattvic thoughts ———- Did this many times already. Helped my spiritual progress. Then fell back into sense pleasure lifestyle. Still addicted to the world. But suffering keeps opening my eyes to my wrong lifestyle of Godlesness. Synthetic joy does not satisfy. Not fulfilling my purpose, feeling empty. When I dedicate myself to God I feel profound sense of Purpose. Living out The Ultimate Destiny.

I can never tell people what to do for their spiritual development. I'm meeting a friend tomorrow, to whom I recommended about a year ago to do a two-week solo meditation retreat and then take psychedelics. Now, do I think that this could be helpful to him? Yes. Do I think that it's realistic? No. Will he do it? No. Is it a part of his destiny? Probably not. So you see, I don't really know what's best. Or even if that would be good or beneficial, it's not even possible for him. So I should never really suggest these big changes for people in their lives. I don't know. It's best to say just sit down in silence, try to feel things out. I have no idea what you have to do. I don't really have a clear idea of what I have to do. It feels like there is a destiny, there is a grace, you can follow that grace, that type of stuff. But I can never tell people what to do, like, what is their path, and so on. I can say what helped me, maybe give some general advice, but not a very specific thing to do or what their path is, and so on.

I guess Ananda Ma would say its ok to use internet for sattivic purposes, she generalizes the sattivic concept to everything we consume.

So Anandamayi Ma and Andrew Tate agree. Nice I mean not really, but Ananda Ma does advocate that the wisest way for society to function is for men and women to be celibate, learn spirituality and then embark in marriage if needed. But also.. that will never happen. This is not a place of perfection. But the wise ones do learn, through suffering, that hoes aint shit, everything here dissapoints, and the only salvation is to keep withdrawing from the world back into God.
