Renunciation is a valid option, haha. In tibetan buddhism they say. If you encounter a poisinous plant you can either. Avoid it altogether (Renunciation) Transform poison into medicine (path of a healer, alchemist, tantric, hard to explain...) Or observe it's nature to be empty and be a buddha Honestly the observing thing is the most dificult and i failed at it many times myself. I was kinda suggesting the way of transformation rather...

If by devils you mean, fear, hate, selfishness etc, then they all have in common thing called contraction. Love is the opposite of contraction, it's total allowance. It looks like that

If all jobs were replaced with AI, would survival become free? Wouldn't that be a good thing?

Some possible answers 11. Anything that causes contraction as oppose to total surrender and allowence. (Fear, hate, selfishness, judgement etc) 12. Love has no opposite, Love is the only reality, everything else is a false misinterpretation of reality 13. Nothingness. Void, primordial silence.

If something triggeres me, first thing i do is observe the feelings and allow them to be Fully. It can be really difficult at first to tame that hot fire energy. But slowly if you do this, the energy begins to transform itself and you begin to notice a new response to the situation. A response that comes from calm presence not from triggered ego. That response will have much more positive impact. Responses from ego amplyfies ego in another person aswell. So he becomes even more blind. Responses from presence amplify presence in another being. And that way there's more space, more openess, so it's easier to have a discussion without creating conflict. The key to all this is being able to allow all feelings to just be totally without any resistence. All the rest of it becomes automatic.

But it's true, don't you think? Are you aware of the table or is the table aware of you? Are you aware of the body, or is the body aware of you? Are you aware of your name, or is the name aware of you? Are you aware of your thoughts and feelings or your thoughts and feelings are aware of you? Ultimately if you continue like this you end up in a place where you are just a pure observer, primordial, without shape or form, without any quality, intangiable, incomprehensible, absolute, without beginning or end, pure void, pure infinity, the womb of existence.

99% of the time when people say I, they are pointing to the ego. You can find the location of the ego by asking "who am I" and penetrating awareness real deep into the psyche. It's actually a tangable object

If you're tone deaf, you won't have the ability to tell whether others are playing in tune or not. But if you cultivate your ears for some years, even a smallest note out of harmony will immediatly sound off and unpleasent. It's the same with humans. When someone is in tune and in harmony with Reality and Truth. That one will sound like a beautiful melody, full of harmony and peace, in perfect rhythm with cosmic unfoldment. When someone is full of bs, only ear jarring noise will come out of them. If you're a really good jazz player tho, you can seemingly play out of harmony and out of rhythm here and there and still be perfectly in tune. That's what "zen anger" is all about. But tone deaf people should not attempt that. Learn to play in basic harmony first at least Your ability to tell who's full of bs and who's speaking the truth hinges on how deep your awareness (inner ear) goes. You can be tone deaf in self-awareness, a totally ignorant person. Or you can be a bethoven of awareness, a sage.

This golden-white light, that decends from god into the crow of the head and down into the whole body is synonymous with Love & Glory. A very unique channel and stream of spirituality that few know about experiencially. If anyone is interested in exploring these waters i can share some crazy knowledge about this Light and how to work with it. A nice picture depicting a decending stream of god's Light & Blessedness Also this. Christianity is full of it.

@M A J I

Broccoli sure is amazing

@Yimpa no no, that's not what i meant. Depression is simply depression. There're different degrees of it tho. For some reason one level of depression gets labeled as a disease and a mild depression is not. But in essenese there's no difference between the two. Just difference in intensity and duration

@Yimpa there's no difference between the two.

@vibv depression is a number 1 joke on the planet

I also believe 80% of health problems people have could be solved just by jogging 10mins a day in nature & smiling once in a while

I would agree with MAJI here. You can find natural remedies for depression that are much more wholesome for your growth. Maybe add simple 5min breathing excercise and Voila!. That should be enough to take care of most mental health problems. The problem is... it only works for those who do it. And convicing people that these things work is also a big headache.

Okey, here's your medal ???

The first consiquence of the illusion of seperation is fear. When we feel seperate we feel we can die. And outside world begins to seem threatening to our survival We become defensive. Defensivness can take various forms. We can attack others physically or mentally to protect ourselves. Mental attacks are judgement, blame, shaming others etc. For example when you're in court you blame everything on others to save your ass. And then guilt follows naturally somehow. (Not sure i fully understand the guilt of it all) So shame would be either a form of an attack or a form of guilt depending on a context

Nobody on this forum is even sane. Let alone... haha

You can't even see through your own bs ? Okey okey, sorry. If that's true for u i won't interfere

Uuu nice. ..... Why is the sea king of a hundred streams? Because it lies below them. ~Tao Te Jing

Yea, this sounds more plausable now. People do tend to pretend to be nice as a subtle ego game. A subtle unconscious behavior indeed that can be found in people. But the only antidote to this is self-awareness and deep honesty to yourself which comes from spiritual practices and nowhere else. Now whether people can recognize how honest and self-aware dalai lama is or isn't, i leave it to them. Im not gonna push my personal perseption of him further.

That's okey. I wasn't trying to convince you of anything. Just pointing out how unplausable your narrative of him spending his time learning to become fake is.

@M A J I what's up your butt lol You can’t just barge in and start poo-pooing on everything that is good and beautiful on this planet. Have some respect for people who are of immense value to humanity.
