Only Truth can be your eternal peace and rest. And you are IT embodied.

Malls are not the best places to meet quality women. Try local healthfood store, gym, farmers market instead. You know who goes there - holistically minded folk interested in investing their time and money into their health, not more new clothes, shoes, and expensive handbags. Nothing against malls and people who shop there, but who would you find more appealing - a woman addicted to shopping in expensive stores or a woman who goes to a farmers market to buy fresh organic food because she cares for her body and mind? Also depends on the intention of approaching - 'sport fishing' (catch and release) or to reel in a great catch, take it home, fry it and eat it? (haha that was a funny metaphor) Malls would be ok for 'sport fishing', I guess

OMG, that's freakin hilarious. Thanks for the laugh

Lisa and Roger are not together anymore. She mentioned it in her Buddha at the Gas Pump interview.

The wives are self-realized. You can watch their interviews on Buddha at the Gas Pump YT channel.

@HypSandar You are a gifted photographer. Thank you for sharing your art.

@Mondsee Eckhart Tolle and Kim Eng, Rupert Spira and Ellen Emmet

@jon hinkle Hopefully by the growing level of consciousness and not just reputation points

@Shin This is how it is here pretty much already - gradually merging into a sage-like lifestyle. Ditched TV and phone a few months ago and working on simplifying my life even more. I love peace, serenity, solitude, and simplicity of Being. Life is sweet. Enjoy your retreat

@Vladimir Lol Your joke was pretty good. The ladies in tight yoga pants need to loosen up a bit

Insights from a Western modern day sage on his lifestyle, non-duality, and more - interesting

@WaterfallMachine Mister Ego is sad and understandiably so - its losing its grip and using mind attacks as a survival mechanism. This will help put things in better perspective. Hugs

@Vladimir Kонечно

In order to unlearn conditioning/programming one needs to learn tools to effectively fight illusion with illusion. Besides, not everyone takes psychedelics... nothing wrong with it - as long as you keep expanding your awareness, it's a progress.

@Vladimir Yes, I can still speak Russian and Ukrainian. I talk to my family back in Ukraine via Skype on a regular basis. But English is my primary way of communication too. It wouldn't be hard to lose your native language without much practice. Dah!

@Vladimir Cool! I was born and raised in Odessa, Ukraine, moved to the U.S. in 1995. My Grandmother originally came from Siberia. She was one tough lady.

@Vladimir is a common East European name. Where are your roots from?

No, but being a jester is serious business. Here's one...dancing his way out of a puppet show matrix

LOL This is more like uncertainty or something, not really contentment...Try again

@Afonso As long as you observe and not absorb your thoughts, it's a progress.

Without lows there would be no highs. What we really want, though, is neutral/decompassionate/unconditionally content mind. Do you have a meme for that?

@Dodo As soon as I read the title of this thread, I knew it was Rupert inspired But yeah, I like his defining awareness as existential knowing. Those who have tapped into the deep waters of the Absolute, take infinite pleasure.

I haven't studied Vedanta, but what Leo did in these last 2 videos he'd pulled together hundreds/thousands years worth of human wisdom to explain the nature of the Absolute. It's hard to put in a post everything he covers there, maybe you can listen in short pieces while driving or taking lunch. I'll be taking the time to watch the Infinity episodes again this weekend, just one time was not enough for me to really get all the points and contemplate on the content presented. What he's talking about there is super advanced stuff. Leo is easy to listen, though. Give his vids a shot sometime

I think Leo covered this in his recent infinity vids with the sand statue and zip-file examples. That's also what teachers of non-duality mean when they say 'everything and nothing'.
