How to be wise

@Leo Gura is it possible that someone who is deeply enlightened reincarnates into a low consciousness person, or is the level of consciousness of reincarnation always increasing?

@Myegolikestacos if you’re talking about mastery, then we can do that as well. Takes a lot of work though.

@hikmatshiraliyev highly unlikely. Yogis have done it throughout history. You shouldn’t be worried about that.

It’s pretty rare to find a spiritual teacher who is single. I guess women become magnetically attracted to emotionally mature people. For those of you seeking girls, perhaps you can use this as a motivation to start your spiritual practice. Just start with 20 mins of The Work of Byron Katie, and see where you go from there.

I’ve read many accounts where people claim they teleported from point A to point B without moving in between them. But there is a simple explanation for this. You move from point A to point B, but you lose memory of traveling from A to B, and all you remember from your subjective experience, is that you were in A and suddenly you found yourself in B. But instead of claiming that you magically transferred there, you can simply reason that you lost memory of travelling. This should explain any claims of teleportation. Not that there are many,

Can you upload it on your website?

I don’t understand, please fix your grammar.

Are you talking absolutely or relatively? If you’re saying that nothingness prefers life purpose to McDonald’s, you’ve deluded yourself.

@Igor82 It’s an extremely long journey my friend. Get packing!

@Aakash trying to change other people is painful, because they are Perfect as they are. The best creation comes out of joy. Create for your happiness, not theirs. In fact, a deeper truth is that they don’t even exist. They’re just your story. So do everything for your happiness, and forget about other people’s feelings.

@OctagonOctopus wise man

Or better still, you can become conscious that McDonald’s is equal to any life purpose you can aspire to. Saves a lot of time.

That probably won’t work. The mind will come whether or not you like it. The key is to unattach from those beliefs. If you unattach from them, then you won’t feel it’s affect. It will come and go like air. You will remain untouched. It requires some deep work, but definitely doable. I’m partly there already. I’ve been working on the awareness of this truth for two years now. The fact that there are no starving African children is from my direct experience, I’m not pulling this out of any book. As for when you’re starving, I’ve largely removed the suffering from it. I have some of it left, because my work isn’t done. But I will definitely get there. Starvation isn’t real. It’s created by mind.

@Truth Addict direct experience without thought is nothingness. You can’t call it anything.

@Serotoninluv what else is there to deconstruct other than thoughts? Please give me some examples? @Truth Addict ‘Direct experience’ is another thought. Notice that you had to think of it.

@Serotoninluv Before action, you need to be aware of what is actually going on. I’m not telling anybody to stop acting, I just want them to see the truth. And the truth is that there are no starving African kids. Those kids only exist in your mind. They are the story of a past. So now that you have the facts down, what will you do now? That’s your choice. What makes you happy? Is it donating to some charity, or just sitting back and sipping beer? You decide on that. But don’t let your unquestioned thoughts take you out of your happiness. That’s all.

Exactly! If your work was being motivated by fear and guilt in the first place, how can you be happy?

@Serotoninluv without a thought, what would be left?

@Emerald I’m working on it.

Donald Trump is just as good as Ramana Maharshi. Except for your mind’s judgment.

@Zeus Is it true that you are speaking with other beings? Meditate on that question.

@Iiris 1% theory, 99% action. Are you falling into the ‘too much theory’ trap.

@Leo Gura It’s not that it’s ‘other’, it’s that it’s not true. It’s fake. Unreal.

Environment is just a thought. It’s not real. Even when you look at an “environment”, if your mind doesn’t name it with thoughts, it remains as nothing.

I shall translate the above comment: I was having a little discussion in the following diary: Because I do not want to spam big personal thread @ Iiris, I decided to open the discussion with the rest of you all. So here's what a user wrote: "Changes come after we accept that we are creators of our anxiety and therefore have the power to change the way we perceive and react to certain circumstances. Acceptance does not mean that we take the blame, it just means that we no longer feel it useful to point the finger out and instead reflect internally. The outer world will always reflect the interior ... that is what it means "we create our own reality" So, here are my thoughts for each of your points: ”The changes come after we accept that we are creators of our anxiety and therefore have the power to change the way we perceive and react to certain circumstances.” First, according to science, generalized anxiety and clinical depression are not caused by our minds, but by our brain chemistry. But let's talk about "regular" anxiety. Let's say that the most spiritually enlightened person who ever walked the earth was given the task of raising ten children by themselves. Would not you feel stressed or anxious? Of course, our reaction to anxiety can actually amplify its power. But to say that "we create anxiety" is a big leap. I would love it @ DrewNows would present some evidence that this is the case. After all, as Carl Sagan said, "extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence." “Acceptance does not mean that we take the blame, it just means that we no longer feel it useful to point the finger out and instead reflect internally.” I agree with this point. We ourselves must act to change what we do not like in our lives. “The outer world will always mirror the interior ... this is what it means "we create our own reality" So will the outside world always reflect the interior? Give me some time! Is the fact that babies are hungry in Africa just a reflection of their inner world? Did not you support your first statement, or is it an axiom only developed spiritual people can understand?
