Sincerity

@Javfly33 You have to learn to fall in love with the ordinary. Treat this as a big part of this work. Maybe then You'll turn the "ordinary work" into an extraordinary, worthwhile pursuit. It's not always mystical, exciting, etc... and if You only love it when it's mystical then your love is weak. I like to see Reality as a woman. If You only love Her when She's mystical and then when that's gone You're frustrated with Her, then You're being a mega asshole. You're being a bad partner so to say, a bad appreciator of Reality. Which I understand, really. Actually I've been going through something similar recently since I'm taking a longer (1-2 year) break from psychedelics (I made a promise to someone). The thoughts of not having access to LSD kind of states and consciousness scared me before, thoughts of being "locked" in the ordinary. I do experience sober awakenings but they didn't feel enough - mystical, divine, extraordinary enough... But it's something You can accept. You can learn to love "normality" and the everyday small lessons which are always there. And it grows your character a lot. With enough love You can accept Her for what She is, right now. Be a "good partner". Maybe She'll even thank You for it. Because to Her, not even the smallest gesture of appreciation goes unnoticed, and You reap what You sow.

One of the realest people I know: I like challenges. I like to create the impossible. Like I would love to see Rebecca or, or Amanda... ... ... I'd like to see them get better. And that would require a miracle. "But I believe in miracles." Yeah. No, I live for them. And that's what motivates me to do this. And in the part 2 of that series he talks about forgiveness. Which to me there's nothing more important to talk about. And I ask him: what would he say to the guy who shot him? Cuz half his face and half his brain is missing. And he said: I love You. I forgive You. And that's the only way You can be. That's the ONLY way. A lot of people don't understand that. * * * * * * * This guy senses Love. He may not be aware of it, but he feels it. I want to be more like Mark. Such a great character.

We had a thread about it:

Gosh, chill 😂 Be mindful of projection. Please don't be belittling. Sheesh, Sadhguru sure does invoke strong emotions.

Love that. You maintain a great journal.

Stop comparing yourself to others. This is a shit lense to look at your life from. There has been a lot of beauty in your life. Why not focus more on that? Besides, it's not over for You. You can still have a lot of fun in the rest of your 20s, and further. These are also shit assumptions. You'd be much better off throwing them in the garbage. I know it's easy to say but have faith. With a mindset like this You're attracting all the bad stuff. You should focus more on what You want. Generate visions of your life which feel awesome to You. When You really want the good, it comes very fast to You. But You must first change your way of thinking. I think there is sort of an inflection point which a human can go through where You stop focusing on what You don't want, negativity, worry and hopelessness and You cross into focusing on what You want, attracting beauty into your life, optimism, faith. Faith is difficult when your life feels bleak. On the other hand, it's easy to have faith when things are going well. But that's weak faith. Build true faith when things feel hard and good things will come to You. You will get what You want but not in the ways that You can predict. And a lot of things which You thought You wanted will fade away, and that's okay. Build your character and be optimistic. There is a lot for You going forwards.

WAY too often. Don't be a stoner. Your life is too precious to waste it like that.

Love is NOT a feeling. You can feel its sweet scent, sense it. But that's not love, that's just a faint smell of it! Oh, if only You saw what love is! Love itself is NOT a feeling, emotion, sensation. Contemplate then, what is love? WHAT IS IT? Love is not your ordinary shit. And yet it is, and the source of all of it. Love is the sweetest, the most powerful, beautiful and intelligent. Love is THE BEST. And nothing compares to It. Love finds a way where there is none. Love makes no mistakes. Love cannot die, ever. Because Love... Is... And You... Are...

I watch a lot of nature documentaries nowadays. Animals are plain awesome. Infinite Intelligence on full display.

Love this song from a game I played :3 so goofy. * * * * * * * I'm doing really good. Just figuring life out one day at a time. I have a more positive outlook now, which helps greatly. Though this is subject to change I suppose. I can overcome any obstacles with enough consciousness and devotion. Oh, and there are obstacles. Ones I can't easily understand. At times I struggle for days trying to grasp what the hell is causing a disturbance in my mind. It's pretty much always about me freaking out about some energy I can't handle yet. I'm trying new things. Today I took part in an art class. We were painting visions from our dreams. Neat, right? On Tuesday I'll be starting capoeira classes. I'm excited about that too. I'm working for a good company now. Also working on my engineering thesis (albeit slowly). I feel like I'm on track for greatness. Some days I'm more disconnected from God and on other days I'm closer. Sometimes I forget and I suffer, which sucks. But I can always remember again if I really want it. I can decide to come back and face what I have to face. It's all a matter of making the good choice. Doing the right thing. My relationships are quite satisfying. My diet is healthy. My mental health is good. My desires flowing. My visions fairly vivid. I have a lot of fears and other difficult energies which resurface every now and then. I'm confronting them one at a time. Usually before bed I take the time to sit and tell God the truth of me. The truth of my feelings which, after being fully expressed, changes. And the feelings fade into oblivion. Sweet death. Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes. Yup. That's me lately. It's good to feel good sometimes. I wish I was more conscious though. Well, I'll make it happen. Reality demands sacrifices and I will adhere.

Good thing I have yt comments hidden by an extension because I'd rip my hair off reading that. Say coral again... stupid motherfuckers.

You just don't understand him. Bro, he spends time at coral. Surprisingly good video though.

@Null Simplex Wow! Thanks for sharing!!!! Very interesting videos.

No probs.

As per the guidelines, links to gore are not allowed. Please keep that in mind. Also, please refrain from personal attacks. Keep it civil and conscious. If someone goes overboard please report the posts.

Lol nice

Ding ding ding ding, we have a winner!

Yes, I experience that. It's been like that for me every time I took LSD (almost 20 times) I think. Maybe that's just how our bodies respond (mine and yours). Yeah, it's annoying. But it goes away pretty fast, for me at least.

Nope. We gotta be patient.

What a great energy You have. Keep it up and appreciate your enthusiasm, because it's easy to lose it along the way and not even notice it. Seriously, appreciate it! It's precious and difficult to get it back when You lose it. Then You might really miss it. (kind of speaking from experience lol) Stay awesome.

Well said. So intelligently done it cannot be distinguished from... from what? It's just so beautiful.

But some words do describe You better than others. "Infinite" does it better than "burger". It's not completely arbitrary. I find that spirituality teaches You the meaning of words. What is the REALITY that the word is referring to? What stands behind the word love? God? Reality? Infinity? I? Consciousness, meaning, responsibility, courage, humility, change, gratitude, joy, fear, despair, sincerity, hope, trust, luck, faith, life, human, sexuality, mind, openness, desire, spirit, intuition, morality, the right thing, humour, devotion, sacrifice, energy, death, woman, fate? Sesame, poppy seed, salt. Fuck. (Embedding is broken haha)

What are You debunking tho Random concept? Does it really feel random? And is the deepest understanding of "You" really: a concept? And why wouldn't there be a personal aspect to reality? Only the impersonal? Is that the whole truth?

Please keep in mind we don't allow ignorant/closed-minded talk such as "religion X the truth" or "religion Y worthless". Be reasonable and nuanced. Excerpt from the guidelines:

"I am the Truth." (al-Hallaj) "Take the famous utterance, "I AM GOD." Some people think this is a great pretension, but "I am God" is in fact a great humility. Those who say, instead, "I am a servant of God" believe that two exist, themselves and God. But those who say, "I am God" have become nothing and have cast themselves to the winds. They say, "I am God" meaning, "I am not, God is all. There is no existence but God. I have lost all separation. I am nothing." In this the humility is greater." (Rumi)
