  1. It took me 28 years to learn using Japanese chopsticks 🥢. Not to brag but I'm now the greatest at eating with chopsticks.
  2. This is the proof of women being more concious.
  3. I've been thinking the same way. I think there is a lot of truth in it.
  4. I think it's a natural Law that a bigger person takes care of those below him/her. I've read it once in a spiritual text that if a man is higher than a woman in a relationship, he will uplift her. If a woman is higher than a man, than a man will pull her down. Based on that I feel it's a natural dynamic in a relationship for a man to take up a higher role and take care of the woman. That translates as paying for her in many cases. But of course there are nuances aswell. It should be a genuine relationship and not someone trying to abuse your generosity. That just turns you into a sucker. There's no natural Law in that. In a natural way of things a man is someone a woman should look up to, not look down at (in the context of a relationship). And your true greatness is proportional to your self sacrifice. Like a sea is the greatest and all the rivers flow into it because it's the lowest. There are a million ways to interpret what I just wrote in a wrong way tho. Discretion is recommended.
  5. Body is attracted to fulfilling its needs - survival. Mind is attracted to fulfilling its needs - logic and understanding. Heart is attracted to fulfilling its needs - love, union, truth. You have all three of those. Survival is not anti truth tho. Balance, health, prosperity, abundance, loving relationships are all qualities of truth in its manifest form. Fear of death is anti truth because it's based on illusion. But you can live and prosper and have lots of fun out of love which is based on truth. Actually it's not even the fear of death that's the problem, it's the fear of being truly alive that's the problem. Although it's the same thing.
  6. Truth in its passive expression is detachment, stillness, analitical insight. (masculine) Truth in its active expression is relationship, love, creativity. (feminine) It's not about being mascuine or feminine, it's about being as true as possible and your truth will find a proper expression accordingly when the situation calls upon it. Truth is attractive in all its forms for all people, there's no such thing as an unattractive quality of truth. The more qualities of truth one embodies the better.
  7. The capacity to which you can be detached from emotions is the capacity to which you can be unhinged and not care (playful) .
  8. This is the 10th country this little guy has been, lol. Blessed fella. Serbia is really nice btw (to my own surprise)
  9. I've been doing keto diet since few months. Best decision of my life. But it's difficult in the beginning to brake the patterns.
  10. The end of the body is not the end of the ego. Ego was never the body to begin with. Body is innocent. You're likely just going to take on another physical form after death because you haven't transcended your limited identity yet.
  11. You (and I mean everyone) can safely assume you're a bafoon at every stage of awakening. That should suffice for now imo.
  12. Last evening, last dinner and the last full moon in Bulgaria for now. Grateful for the gifts of grace this year has given me. New phase and new adventures begins tomorrow.
  13. The light in you is what the universe longs to behold. ²All living things are still before you, for they recognize Who walks with you. ³The light you carry is their own. ⁴And thus they see in you their holiness, saluting you as savior and as God. ⁵Accept their reverence, for it is due to Holiness Itself, which walks with you, transforming in Its gentle light all things unto Its likeness and Its purity. This is the way salvation works. ²As you step back, the light in you steps forward and encompasses the world. “Who walks with me?” ²This question should be asked a thousand times a day, till certainty has ended doubting and established peace. ³Today let doubting cease. ⁴God speaks for you in answering your question with these words: ⁵I walk with God in perfect holiness. ⁶I light the world, I light my mind and all the minds which God created one with me.

  14. Lol. This one is next level. Finals should be dope.
  15. There are psychic abilities competitions now.
  16. Interesting thought. Music is like the most ancient language. Words have to be interpreted and are but symbols of symbols therefor twice removed from reality. And often we mistake words for actuality. But music is the Thing. And it never discriminates. Beautiful.
  17. Random observation. The metric by which you can measure the richness of your day is by how much of it you spend outside the house. An ideal day would be leaving in the morning and going back when it's time to sleep. The potential for such activity is much higher in summer time. That's why summers are so nice. I wonder how many so called well off people spend their days at home being idle. Can they really call themselves well off then? So much wasted potential. Sometimes I feel like I have nothing to show for. At other times it feels like I'm the king of the universe. Funny paradoxes.
  18. We practice giving Him what He would have, that we may recognize His gifts to us. ²He needs our voice that He may speak through us. ³He needs our hands to hold His messages, and carry them to those whom He appoints. ⁴He needs our feet to bring us where He wills, that those who wait in misery may be at last delivered. ⁵And He needs our will united with His Own, that we may be the true receivers of the gifts He gives. Let us but learn this lesson for today: We will not recognize what we receive until we give it. ²You have heard this said a hundred ways, a hundred times, and yet belief is lacking still.

  19. Before Enlightenment: struggling to survive After Enlightenment: survival just happens Before Enlightenment: rowing like a madman. After Enlightenment: sailing peacefully.
  20. Since I was born, I've lived near the sea and spent every summer that way. Whatever country I'm in, it's always near the sea. I've never thought it means anything but now I'm slowly starting to think that perhaps that's no coincidence. Perhaps sea is of great importance to my soul. For some it's the mountains. For some it's the forests, for some it's the deserts. But I can't imagine living without some kind of natural water body bathe in. It's almost like a religious ritual, haha.
