  1. It's just the practice of presence imo. Many Buddhists end up very slow like that. I think even eckhart tolle is really slow in his daily activities.
  2. Next time someone asks my how I feel, I will send them one of these two songs.
  3. Nice. Future looks interesting
  4. Wise living is the only way to live a healthy, prosperous, long happy life. To follow the way of wise living you have to follow the Laws of life, also called Dharma or the ways of Dao. There is no other way. You'd be wise to look after the teachers of the Law, the teachers of Dharma to show you the way of wise living.
  5. Wisdom 1. Whoever is born into the world is in part possessor of the world by fact of his birth. All come into the world naked and helpless, and they deserve our assistance because of helplessness. To help the helpless is the highest virtue. 2. Two wise men are greater than one; a nation of wise men, what could be greater than this? Yet all men come into the world knowing nothing; to give them great wisdom is to make the nations wise and great. To open the avenues on every side to great learning, this is the foundation for a great kingdom 3. To have the soil tilled, is this not greater than hunting and fishing? To throw the lands open in the east and west, north and south, to the tiller of the soil, this is the foundation of plenty. When the poor and ignorant are supplied with what to eat and to wear, with a place to live, there is little crime, but great virtue; and such are great strength in that kingdom. 4. To hold more land than one can till is to sin against them that have none, who have not wherewith to live or to earn a living. Yea, such a one is an enemy to the nation. 5. There are two kinds of governments: one is government for the government; and the other is government for the people. The latter government the people will endorse, and by their wills make mighty. The former government seeketh to make itself mighty at the expense of the people. Such a government is in the throes of death. 6. To make government and people one, as to prosperity and peace; this is the highest government. For the government to render unto the people bountifully, as to land and water, and as to great learning, and to music, this is the wisest, best government. 7. What man is there that loveth not liberty, the chief of all desires? Can a government abridge this without crippling itself or forfeiting the love and co-operation of its people? To bestow liberty, and maintain it unto all people, this is the greatest good thing a government can do. 8. But who shall say what is liberty, and the end thereof? A man shall not have liberty that offendeth his neighbor, or depriveth him of virtuous livelihood. No man should run naked; nor should a man have liberty to go into another's field and take his harvest. How, then, shall the government take a man's possessions against his will? But he who hath received great learning will not offend by nakedness, nor by taking that which is another's. 9. What, then, is greater than for a government to bestow great learning on the people? It is not enough to say to the poor: Here is land; feed yourselves. But men of great learning shall be sent amongst them, showing them how to till the soil, and how to build, and to keep themselves pure in soul and body. For great learning is not in the books only; nay, there be men of great knowledge as to books, who are themselves gluttons and debauchees, and bigots, and tyrants, and base authority. Such men have not great learning; in fact, but great vanity. 10. Two kingdoms, lying side by side; in the one are great philosophers and colleges, but the multitude are in want; in the other kingdom there are no philosophers as such, nor colleges; but the multitude have plenty: The latter is a kingdom of greater learning than the former. For of what consisteth great learning, but in knowing how to live wisely? A few philosophers are not a nation, to bestow such knowledge on the people as will enable them to live wisely and be happy to a good old age, this is the labor of the best, great government. 11. It is a common saying that such and such a king is a great king, because, forsooth, he hath founded colleges. And this is no small matter. But how much greater is the king who founded a thousand poor families, and taught them how to live wisely? 12. To make a law to prevent liberty; to bind slaves more rigidly, is to weaken the nation; to weaken the kingdom. For, see ye, a man had ten servants, and they were free; then he bound nine of them with chains, and complained because they served him not well. He was a fool. 13. To labor for one's self at the expense of the state, is to rob the state; to horde up possessions is to rob the poor. What treasure hath any man that he can take out of the world? Better is it to give it whilst one may, for to-morrow we die, leaving it to them that earnt it not. 14. The highest peace is the peace of the soul, which cometh of consciousness of having done the wisest and best in all things according to one's own light. For after all, is not the earth-life but the beginning, wherein we are as in a womb, molding our souls into the condition which will come upon us after death? In which case we should with alacrity seize upon the passing of time and appropriate it to doing righteous works to one another.
  6. Been doing some dream yoga recently, it's amazing. There's so much potential there for healing plus it's fun. Had some wild and wacky experiences already. But it feels spiritually significant aswell, not just entertainment. It's something I look forward now to cultivate as time goes on, especially with the guidance that I was able to get, now it seem doable and it's making me excited, haha.
  7. Woumb yoga, yoni steaming, tarot, dream yoga, law of attraction, anything healing related like books on diet etc.
  8. Yes it's Mūji. Somebody unexpectedly sent me this picture which I lost hope of seeing long time ago 🥹
  9. 🥹🥹🥹 Thank you...
  10. Communication = communion Holy communion = oneness Oneness = love Love = truth.
  11. I recently discovered/got introduced to a meditation called twilight meditation. There's a period of time that happens after sunset for about 15mins when everything becomes "idle" and "stops" so to speak and then the "shimmering Light" comes back on again. It has been the most beautiful meditation for me recently. It's profoundly healing and soothing and there's a deep sense of satisfaction that comes when you come out of it. Like being born again. Totally recommend 👍
  12. I think women are more in pursuit of love and men are more in pursuit of understanding. A loving and accepting relationship can help you heal from whatever burdens you carry on the shoulders. Women are more heart based so they look for someone who they can trust that they could share and open up and in process of doing it to heal. Men are more interesting in understanding so for that you mostly need to sit alone and contemplatate.
  13. Nobody is 100% good and nobody is 100% bad. I hope and pray that those in charge right now use whatever good they have in them to do good things in the world. Mm 🙏🌍 Go Vivek!
  14. More like in a shape of turtle. 🐢 Unfortunately no one has ever reached that level of awakening yet to understand me. It feels very lonely sometimes to be so awake.
  15. I once started levitating so I went on flying around the earth.
  16. Thank you for trying to make a world a better place with your knowledge that you've gathered through a thorough, sincere, truthful, impersonal, carefully analized investigation, brother 🙏
  17. Insane to me means that which has no connection with reality or the truth. So it's the opposite of enlightenment. Unless people have a different definition of that word.
  18. I need an English translation to understand this joke aswell haha.
  19. Them knowing all the things you appreciate about them would inspire them more imo. 🌟
  20. Write a letter of all the things that he/she has done to you that made you smile
