@No1Here2c I’m agreeing with everything you are saying… I enjoy reading your worldview on these matters from your perspective there. Your pov’s are quite fascinating tbh. Appreciate you being here to share with others.

Maybe my trying to sometimes control the narrative is what makes me so pitiful. I know it’s not up to me who is walking to even direct my step. But somehow I always feel like I’m being carried through life, I remember that there’s something bigger than myself who is the real controller, and my gut always trust that higher power.

Yes it certainly looks that way doesn’t it. It’s depressing, sometimes I just can’t bear it. I just want to disappear and never have to live on earth ever again.

Okay, I understand all that, thank you for explaining it like that, it’s something I can resonate with. I guess my cats are just loving me because I feed them, and yes, if I didn’t feed them they would probably leave home to find another home. You’re right about attacking them too, they would soon show me aggression back at me, they too deserve to defend themselves. I wish I wasn’t so attached to things like my animals and my family and children, knowing they don’t belong to me. Attachment is such a painful thing when all I’m doing here is just watching everything I love die, it’s so hard to let go and surrender, but I’m getting better at it everyday.

@Olaf Referring back to your OP I don’t believe nonduality is ready to be heard by the majority of people on this earth. And I don’t believe those that do hear it, are changed beyond recognition in the sense that they can’t go back to the way they used to live once it’s been understood. I don’t believe suffering ends, nor do I believe you become blissed out or become stress free, like the transcended ones would have you believe. That’s just nonsense to me. I don’t think anyone really changes, like a leopard can’t change its spots. Change happens, but nothing changes is how I experience life. Nonduality maybe the absolute truth, but we are relative beings that must live relative lives, which involves a healthy ego.

Okay, thank you, I understand this, you have an amazing way of explaining these things, I’m so grateful and appreciate your views on these matters.

Humans seem incapable of unconditional love, don’t you agree. I have cats, they teach me unconditional love, they are my soulmates on this earth. I would literally spend my entire day caring for these animals because they deserve to be treated like the unconditional sacred divine creatures they are. But at the same time, I eat meat, and feel disgusted with myself knowing these divine creatures had to be slaughtered and robbed of their lives. I just can’t get my head around why I’m happy to turn a blind eye when it comes to say pig slaughter for bacon consumption, yet I’d lay down my own life for my cats…I just don’t understand what that’s all about tbh.

Okay, thank you so much. 😊 You’re so kind.

Okay, thanks for that analysis. I like it, it’s a coherently understandingly accurate assessment . I can relate to that. As humans we don’t need to kill or murder anything, because we’re only killing parts of ourselves, it’s pointless to harm yourself, when we can just all agree not to harm each other instead.

I guess if it wasn’t for Love then nothing would ever desire to be. So everything is because of the desire to be, else there would just be nothing at all. So I agree with Leo, that there’s nothing that is not you, and you are Love. That’s amazing. Heartbreak, hate, and despair, it’s all you. The default is always Love, not hate, not evil, everything returns to Love, because Love is what nurtures you, without it you wouldn’t exist, you can’t go on indefinitely hating or torturing yourself, because your natural desire is to want Love. Love wins every time. God wins the battle between good and evil every time because God can only be good, which is Love. I think that’s what Love is.

Laughing is fun. Laughing feels nice, right, nice is fun, right.

Yes, I can see that which you point to. That makes sense. So what about absolute Love? Is Love real, what does love mean, I’m still trying to figure out what love is. For example, is an adult murdering an innocent child an act of Love?

Okay, I’m trying to understand this. Thanks for your patience and time. Im going to have a nap, be back later, or maybe tomorrow..bye for now.

@No1Here2c yes, I understand what you’re saying, but the ego only knows the limits, it cannot get beyond its limits, ever, as no ego knows what lies beyond the limits, if anything at all, perhaps it’s just wishful thinking. All we have tasted is limitation. How could there be anything more than limitation. I just sometimes think it’s unacceptable to witness the horror that is part of conscious existence. Yes, it’s beautiful too, but beauty fades and horror doesn’t.

Okay, I suppose knowing that is some comfort. I just sometimes think it’s unbearable being conscious of the horror side of nature, I can’t even imagine what wildlife must go through to survive, no one comes to their aid like they do in the human realm.
