This is how my life is going at the moment - I spend most of my time meditating, but if I'm being honest it could be considered procrastinating. My attempt at being happy is to sit for hours and "let go" of "everything", because I found when I do that I can get to a more peaceful state. This means that I am living life kind of like a monk. At one point about 6 months ago I created a goal for myself, and started working towards it. In my mind, I was gonna have a perfect body, perfect girlfriend, perfect house, perfect job. I thought that this is a reasonable life to work towards, and that by working towards it that I would be happy. I found out after a month of working towards these goals that I was more miserable than ever. I was working towards them in a regimented fashion. So what happened was that I calmed down and started doing nothing again. I decided that it wasn't worth working towards anything, because nothing lasts anyway, and I look at people such as property developers and they don't actually seem to be happy. Like Leo says in some of his videos, they are confusing success with happiness. Money doesn't bring lasting happiness. But also, doing absolutely nothing is making me fat and I think I could be enjoying life more. Maybe I just need to get the balance right between "doing" and being". Does anyone have any thoughts?

Truth + Humour heals Tumours

Why am I as God, dreaming up a bunch of retards on a stupid forum? If I am God, and I am dreaming this up, then it's a pretty fucking retarded dream.

The mind does not exist in the head, The head exists in the mind! So does the body. You are dreaming your entire body. You are imagining suffering, I got it today!

Today I explored being a gangster. Does anyone find that through doing spiritual work they are left with a completely fluid identity, through which all archetypes can manifest?

@NewKidOnTheBlock Listen to Jordan Peterson - clean your room.

Would you really be discussing anything, or trying to make a point, or having an opinion, or arguing, or debating or.....

@Zenterus Look at the film American Psycho. At least the protagonist realises he doesn't exist, which is one facet of awakening.

No, it's made from pickled onions.

@Aaron p govinda jaya jaya

That's just, like.....your OPINION, man

very funny!

@Dodo you make some good points. Yes, I love you too. But not in a gay way.

was she taking sides, or was she just being human and being kind, which most people don't actually practise, cos their jumping down pepole's throats with dogma and advice

@Natasha Tori Maru Natasha at least your semi real. Most people on here are up their own asses.

@Zeroguy so if I hypothetically tell you to "fuck off", is that love?

Don't TELL people they should be loving. It has the opposite effect. Just like when you tell someone to relax, it creates tension.

So go away with your dogma.

nah, look at the yogi's they become like children. There's no rules

@Dodo I am just "being" I "be" all the time. It gets boring. Then I come here. You're right though. If we were at, for example, a Buddhist retreat, would we feel compelled to even speak? On a forum like this, we have to discuss things, otherwise there would be no forum. "Those who speak do not know. Those who know do not speak" - who said that?

Love is more basic than that. I would posit that Love is Love, it has no synonyms. You run into problems when you complicate and intellectualise something as basic as Love

I would posit that mental illness does not exist. Mental illness is based on the idea that there is an outside world which everyone can agree on, when in fact everything is subjective.

Explain in short summary how Love and Truth are synonymous.

@Salvijus I am above Leo in terms of anything spiritual. *waits for cat meme
