👆That's in alignment with what I'm saying also. He's basically saying the world as we know it as a projection of defiled mind (ego). But a lot more needs to be said about this pain in the ass topic to give it justice imo. There are two types of realities. One that the ego projects, full of strife, suffering, fear, drama and bs. This is referred as a dream or a world of illusions. And the reality of God. Of perfect innocence and beauty and peace. This reality cannot vanish because it is eternal. If somebody awakens from the dream of illusions, there is still going to be others who are in a dream, suffering their own hallucinations/projections. That's why those who escaped the dream can come back to help others. The world is a dream, yes. But from the practical point of view the dream is as good as real. It's something you can be part of or not. It's something you can manipulate and influence etc. Or you can be uninvolved in it. That's why there are some many vedas written that Ramana mentions about this world and how it functions and the Laws that govern it etc. It's not a flimsy hallucination of someone's mind alone. Ughh... Honestly this topic is nothing but pain in the ass if you ask me. My usual response is just to roll my eyeballs and stay away from it. Don't know how I got involved in it this time. Remind me not to go anywhere near this topic next time

End of the world

When acim says the world is a dream, it doesn't mean the universe will disappear when one awakens. It means all the projections of ego will no longer exist and only perfect sinlessness and glory will be left in one's vision. But the universe is not going anywhere. Only the universe as ego knows it (full of fear, danger, fallacies, unfairness, sense of lack, judgement, guilt etc) vanishes.

Emptyness is the soil, flower (love) is the product of the soil. Masculine and feminine. Prepare the soil, make sure to pour some water and on it and give some sunlight (the grace of Yeshua) and the flowers will come.

The silent primordial space of awareness is important because it creates space for a new voice to come. A new voice not of the old fear based ego, but a voice that speaks of love. Primordial silent awareness is a requirement but not the end goal in itself.

Expressions of love are not ego Expressions of fear is ego A holy mind simply means the mind that is not fragmented but whole.

you guys are too baaaad for anyone to handle 🔥 😏

"dear, our kids are not weird, they're just 'special' "

Hm ~ chuckles ~ not bad :]

~ Sigh ~... You would benefit from making your attitude straight in life first imo. So it would be more in alignment with God and truth. Otherwise all endeavor made from the false attitude can only bring more suffering, not less. A prayer I felt inspired to share for some reason. And if I shall happen to confront the darkness.. Which i'm sure by now, I will... let me have the power in me... to walk on through, to hold it still... don't, don't let me fall from grace... just to feel the wind, the wind upon my face... teach me that the peace... Is all a happy man would ever need... oh just keep me where... keep me where... keep me where... keep me where... the light is... oh where the light is.... keep me where the light is... oh let me sing this prayer...

Many people have this thing called "being a people pleaser" and the fear of looking "unfriendly". Especially among friends this pressure not to upset anyone's apple cart is common. One has to be really rooted and sensitive to what their true heart's will is to be able stand up against these type of influences. (btw I wasn't responding to the quote, I was just using it to express some thoughts)

Thoughts have to become energy Prayer has to become your breath Worship and praise have to become your vision. The attitude of giving has to replace self-grasping Virtue has to become your garment Love needs to be recognized as the only true desire. Love is the only engine that runs all things in perfect wisdom and harmony. Love alone is real, everything else is a projection, a dream, hallucination. Seeing perfect sinlessness and holiness in your brothers salvages you from the dream of illusions. This is where the loving thoughts and the reality of love become one and the same. Hallelujah

Nah I was joking. This place is as good as it gets imo.

This place is okay if you just avoid all the advaita bears, solipsists, drug abusers, incels/redpillers, religious fanatics, mentally unstable people, 'enlightened' ones, weird creepy lurkers. Oh wait... Nevermind 😅

There are dark forces and the forces of light, and you are the battleground This applies to everyone tho. But especially for you right now it seems. My advice would be just double down on what you truly want, on honesty, on willingness to follow God's will, on the angelic support and light and you'll make this process much easier for yourself.

Idk, you sound like a chick magnet to me. My belief is that if you follow your life purpose you're meant to follow, you will cross paths with someone who you're meant to be with and it will be the right person for you. I can't prove this but that's something I believe in. Aligning yourself with your true purpose in life is the trickiest part. Because there is so much push and pull to do random shit that society expects you to do but is not actually what you're supposed to be doing. That's how people end up chasing fool's gold all their life. Rather than worrying about getting laid, worry about your life purpose and whoever is supposed to accompany you on your journey will naturally be with you. I believe there is no alternative here even. Because if you invest time in being with someone you're not meant to be with, it's just the same suffering with extra steps. It's not going to bring the fulfillment you're looking for.

Just go. It will be good for you. Otherwise you'll carry that fear and everything that's behind that fear on your shoulders all your life. A part of you wants to expand and be free, that's why you registered there. Give importance to that voice that is pulling you in that direction and ignore the voice of fear that is blocking your authentic desires to be made manifest. Love over fear is always wisdom.

I bet you regret starting that thread about vegetables by now

Genitals are not just what's between your legs. Genitals are also in your brain, psychology, neurology, blood chemistry, energy system, in your emotions, for some people even in their food choices. Genitals are everyhere. Don't underestimate how much influence they have over you. Enlightened one is neither a dick or a pussy but master of both

I hope I didn't scare too many seekers here, lol. In the attempt to make soften the blow, I'll repeat something, it's not about castrating the balls. It's about transcending the influence balls have on you. So that you're not ruled by them, rather you're ruled by higher intelligence, your true self. There... I think this should make things better

To care about the environment and well-being of others is a feminine quality. Naturally females have more of it by design. It's not an accident and it's not social conditioning that there are more females in gardening and babysitting. If you saw a male in these positions, he'd probably be a very feminine guy. How can you not make this connection? It's all about your genitals. Cut the man's balls, and all his pride and arrogance will fly out the window. That's how much it affects your personality. You're a nobody without your balls. At the same time, when you're no longer self obsessed, naturally you begin to think and feel and care about the outside more. (That's also why women tend to be less arrogant/alpha aswell btw.) You could say, enlightenment is a metaphysical castration of your balls (ego). Or at least you're transcending the influence the balls have on you. Balls, balls, balls.

God's needs What you have to figure out is if helping them is of service to God or is it just pampering their egos. There are times when turning your back on someone will force them to take responsibility for their lives. And that's the best thing you can do for them. And there are times where God wants you to help them actively because that's what's most beneficial for you both. You're not going to figure out what is the right thing to with your intellect. You have to pray like a madman. And the heart will tell you what is the right thing to do.

"Do drugs like there's no tomorrow" this kind of attitude will bite you in the ass pretty bad lol.
