How to be wise

@Metatron Thank you for sharing.

Physical pain doesn’t occur in the body. It occurs in the mind.

@dimitri how did you find this thread?

@Shiva But you can’t live well by protecting your body. You might get cancer tomorrow. Then it’s goodbye to ‘living well.’

I found this amazing YouTube channel, of what seems to be a stage Green Muslim girl and how she lives her life. It’s quite amazing to be honest. She integrates Islam with Stage Green values, which I didn’t think was possible. Check it out! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCO4to6GaDElWA9sV3SrPhhw

@Leo Gura Until a truck hits you tomorrow. You just can’t have health.

@Shin I’m happy for you, my very sweet friend.

Yes. Yes, it should give you a notification. Check your notification settings. If you follow a thread, it should notify you as soon as anyone replies to that thread, regardless of whether or not they quoted you/name-tagged you.

A Muslim and an atheist debate about the origin of the universe. But what amazed me was how intellectual this Muslim fellow was, given that he is stage blue. Don Beck says in the audiobook ‘Spiral Dynamics Integral’ that a stage blue person is capable of reaching the top of Maslow’s hierarchy. It seems like stage blue can be nearly as intelligent as a stage orange person.

@Harikrishnan @Serotoninluv It’s funny I actually know this guy (Mohammad Hijab). He teaches English in a nearby school. I often see him walking across the street.

@Tom T I’ve thought about doing that in the past. Just living in a zen temple in the mountains and meditating all day long sounds quite romantic. But then again, what is wrong with your present reality. And I mean right here now, are there any problems. If not, then you are already in your perfect zen temple right now. You’re just not aware of it.

Ever since an experience that I had last week, my body has been oozing with an energy of Love. Love mainly for other people. However, today it went to another level... All of a sudden, my heart started pounding very fast, and I started feeling an extreme attraction towards almost every person that I remembered! This attraction is not sexual in nature; I have no desire to see any of them naked. This attraction is romantic, though. Even as I type right now, my heart feels like it is burning with this Love. It hurts that I don’t know how to deal with this. This has never happened to me before in my life. I would really appreciate if anyone knew about something like this, how to deal with this. Right now, it’s only getting stronger. My heart feels like it is burning. It does not feel very pleasant.

@Jack River What is your experience of the present moment? Spiritual teachers say that it is an illusion, but I don’t have the experience of this? Do you also see that the present moment is not real?

@Jack River yes man. The process of purging my mind and ego is a painful one. But also very worth it.

@Girzo But that feeling also comes with thoughts of being attracted to people. Surely that isn’t caused by sitting too much!

@MsNobody Thank you for sharing.

@Nahm Yes. A lot of times it feels like my entire body is being fuelled with the energy of Love. But I still have a sharp pain in the heart. Thank you for sharing. @Jack River I will attempt it. Thank you. @Girzo Thank you. I will wait for it to pass (or change).

I understand where you’re coming from. Thank you. @Bluebird Yes that is right. It is a sharp pain in the heart. I will follow your advice. Thank you a lot.

@Gabriel Antonio I understand. I can tell you that this love came as a result of undoing so many of my negative beliefs, that these days I find it very hard to find something that can hurt me. Just two days ago, around £200 was stolen from me. When I saw my empty wallet, I tried to make myself feel angry and sad, but nothing came out. A few minutes later, I just burst out laughing. The belief that the money was ever inside the wallet is what causes the pain. I no longer held such a belief.

@ivankiss Thank you for the brilliant advice. @AlwaysBeNice Thank you @Serotoninluv Thank you

@Joseph Maynor Thank you

@ivankiss Thank you very much. The problem is, I’m still a bit too introverted to express those feelings fully. Today, I was in uni, when I felt this intense spiritual love for two girls who were sitting a few rows ahead of me. I just wanted to go over and hug them for no reason. But I was too introverted to do anything, and I left the hall without saying a word. It can get very intense if I don’t have the confidence to express my feelings.

@Wisebaxter It’s quite painful to be honest. There is no way of acting on it.

@Truth Addict How would I know if you hated me? @Wisebaxter Thank you. Talking about the chakra system really makes sense now. I’ll just have to be patient. @OneWithAll Meditation (The Work) is what got me into this in the first place.

@UDT Thanks for the great advice! @SOUL I understand your point. Thank you. @Joseph Maynor Thank you for brilliant advice.
