  1. Time with friends, family, compassion, dahrma, wisdom, philosophy, meditation, nature, fine clothes, accessories and perfume.
  2. @Jack Walter Leon I hope you were not offended. It's very easy to get stuck in such a story. A couple of months back I had a very similar post which I ended up not even sharing cause I saw it for what it was. That's the circular nature of though. It's not a fault at all. I'm sorry if I offended you dear friend, Godspeed!
  3. I would say phase 5. would be: Consciousness > Consciousness And 6. ... MU
  4. @Jack Walter Leon The biggest trouble I see here is adherence to a victim story. It's the attempt to solve problems with thinking about them, but actually the problem is the thinking itself. Don't try to push yourself too hard in meditation, let your mind drift off as long is wants to. Your job is to allow it to do whatever it wants and accept and love it. Leave this story aside for while and try connect to what's right for you in the moment. Just do things to make your life less chaotic. Learn acceptance of emotions and self compassion, to heal and get better. When you are better things will solve themselves.
  5. Amazing! I believe it shows how important mindset is. This guy won't give in to negativity, and so he stayes healthy. I also believe that his religious ritual is playing an important role here. Cheers
  6. My friends gave me Catan, a wonderful classic board game. Interestingly enough playing it with friends seems to trigger character defects and it allows me to see how far I really am from my idealistic values. Through this I can learn to activate my highest self in challenging situations. So I urge you to try playing this with friends and family. Enjoy! Cheers.
  7. I would say that learning to socialize while implementing virtues and spiritual principles is a gradual shift that should be initiated as soon as possible to get the experience. I find that going to spiritual development groups helps tremendously (and much more), despite the fact the group itself is at stage green, there's light generated at the interaction of souls. Cheers
  8. The reason for emptiness is lack of love, the cure is abundance of love.
  9. True authenticity is infinite flexibility. It's not a finite idea of a character.
  10. Since neither is really in his control, then none of them. As I said, pure luck. (or god's will)
  11. An opinion is fine as long as there's no negative emotion, or praise, and if it's used practically to make decisions about your life.
  12. @Shakazulu Thank you for your support dear friend. Cheers
  13. By looking honestly on my actions and understanding what values I'm actually motivated by. (Not the idealistic top values one wishes to have)
  14. On the contrary, treatment is the best thing to do, It would be extremely irrational not to help yourself heal. One shouldn't take literally any spiritual principle, because their meaning is metaphorical and isn't always related to everyday things. Resistance in this case would be: to desire not to be sick, and not to have pain. Anything that appears before you should be embraced with love, so it could heal. The positive thought "I am healthy. And getting better." Is really good, and isn't considered resistance as long as you say it with full conviction. It's like aikido really, you use the force of the pain to let it pass by instead of resisting it head on. Say: "I welcome you pain. Stay as long as you wish, I love and embrace you." Good luck to you dear fellow, I wish you well.
  15. The person stuck in maya. You cannot interfere with the work of the devil. All you can do is to wait patiently till the devil is done, and then all will resolve by itself.
  16. @F A B Surely I'm not free of it entirely, but I'm on the way there. There can be pain without suffering, and that's the beauty of it. I do have pain, I'm human, but I don't have to add unnecessary suffering on top of it. I allow it to be as the will of god, and so it goes through me.
  17. Nature Also God is pretty much the best, if you lose all the preconceptions tied with it.
  18. @theking00 Deeply embrace it with love, be one with it, cause there's no "you" to deal with "boredom", for you are boredom. Let it flow through you, and be a super-conductor of boredom. All that "you" experience, become it. Don't push it too hard. Go on walks and watch the nature. Let your mind escape if it really wants, it will come back, refreshed and ready for more mindfulness.
  19. @sarapr You mess with the demon, you get the horns.
  20. Because to not see the incredible nature of reality in front of you, can only be resulted from these causes. Otherwise you would be awe struck, you would cry "Thank you god, thank thank thank you!" There would be deep bliss and pure oness. The only thing preventing you from seeing it is deep unconscious sleep within maya, which results in full attachment to thought, and therefore your attention is taken from direct experience. The problem is that you call your suffering ordinary. You think it's inherent to existence, but it's far from truth. Suffering is caused only by delusion, it's unnecessary.
  21. @QandC In a sense a "bad person" is simply unhealthy, and is a result of a faulty system, or a fault in the genes. If you are good, you are lucky, if you are bad your are unlucky. But it's also a process in which everything is striving for balance, and it's inevitable. One might say: God's will. A healthy person would be kind of like that: Authentic, humble, integrated, high emotional intelligence, worked for many years on his flaws, or grown in a very healthy environment. Or simply put Developed.
  22. @F A B If you even ask such a question you are either depressed, or you are deeply within suffering. If you saw the "fantasy", which you so confidently talk about, you would be in awe on your knees crying. And so there is something to do! It's to stop suffering and have a blast! Cheers
  23. @MM1988 By real I assume you mean "Is it worthwhile?" - To that I would totally say yes. Also it appears your expectations of "How is it gonna be?" might be a bit exaggerated. There's not gonna be a mystical light shining out of nowhere, spirituality is being very honest about your direct experience and not confusing stories for reality.
