@Phillip this is where i'm moving towards. i wanna earn money by healing earth's soils while gathering (lots of) food.

the phenomenom thought is part of Reality just like sound and light. they have no origin because Reality is a field of continuous impermanence so everything you name is actually a beginless/endless process of transformation rather than a "thing". ego is another "thing".

because you're attached to some fucked up definition of winner.

@Monkey-man there are those who have attained a mental comprehension about Truth and those who embody Truth. those who have attained a mental comprehension about Truth are ready to answer any question because they have learned to play with the words in order to look wise. they seem to know everything but it's still possible to sense struggle in them. those who embody Truth are on a completely different level. they feel oneness in their gut. they feel the suffering and the happiness of their brothers and sisters in their hearts. only those who embody Truth are capable of living accordingly to the words of jesus love your neighbor as yourself. they don't even obey jesus. that's just the way they live effortlessly.

@Kallan daily practice: save a few minutes to be mindful of all of your attachments and let go of them.

scientific laws are not undeniable truths. natural laws are. scientifc laws are a "poor" translation of Reality for the human experience. they are poor because they are not Reality and they will never be. and they are not poor because they're useful, practical (only!). and nobody should drop his intellect forever. our logical apparatus is WONDERFUL. just don't think that it's 100% reliable. it's even possible to have a mystical experience by dropping ALL beliefs and letting go of the intellectual pride. also, addressing what someone else said by "load of crap" is a very low attitude.

i am a mathematician i'm not saying that those theorems/postulates/formulas/equations are false. i am saying that they are true only if you assume a certain set of primary axioms, which are true by definition, not because of some fundamental and undeniable truth. and about physics, no. sorry. no (competent) physicist has ever claimed to have found a single undeniable/fundamental truth. the experiments can confirm that a formula works under some circumstances, but it's impossible to prove that Reality has those very mathematical formulas running behind the curtains. formulas, theorems etc are merely models for reality. they don't describe any objective truth and every scientist knows this very well. we simply build models that work. and i know that they work pretty damn well. not only they work well but we're working hard to make they work even better as time passes by. this why i'm able to pay the bills every month

this is the great ignorance. how can something that never even started have an end? what is it that dies? what is it that's perceiving these messages? what's it that's born? welcome to eternity (again).

there's only one way, which is changing yourself completely and having a good and healthy life. only then you might become a source of inspiration. trying to change others directly is one of the most ignorant approaches ever.

@Hemi Reality becomes conscious of Itself. if you think and elaborate too much, you're walking away from IT. when you perceive thoughts about enlightenment, let go of them if you want to experience IT instead of philosophizing. philosophizing won't take you very far.

embracing the practice in new contexts. i always recommend finding a zen sangha and practicing with them at least once in a week. being part of a zen sangha is a powerful choice.

this also points to some kind of addiction to suffering, don't you think?

no. the 30 mins is great. start doing simple tasks like cleaning the floor and washing dishes while breathing mindfully. expand the practice throughout the day.

very good. keep doing it. get used to this kind of experience. wonderful. you're achieving a better understanding of your own situation. try implementing a daily routine of shorter meditation sessions instead of doing huge and exhausting attempts. it's more effective and more efficient. you've been telling this "there is no hope" story to yourself for decades. anything that's said repeatedly over time feels more and more true as time goes by. so don't expect to purify yourself from this pattern too soon. it might take a while and awareness is the key. be aware of the thoughts but don't simply believe them as you've been doing for such a long time. meditate, walk, do your 5 pushups. what a winner already. meditate, walk, do your 5 pushups. what a winner already. meditate, walk, do your 5 pushups. what a winner already. meditate, walk, do your 5 pushups. what a winner already. do it.

yes, Reality (the present moment) is the NOW with all of its complexity. a mystical and complex dance of immaterial sources of vibrations with light and sound bouncing everywhere and a miraculous filter to make experience stable (possible) and meaningful. you have unhealthy relationships with other people because you have an unhealthy relationship with solitude. since you haven't trained yourself to appreciate the mystical experience of the present moment, you become anxious, as if something terrible is about to happen all the time. try sitting down and exposing yourself to this "bad thing". wait for it to happen. why should you suffer when you're not doing anything? why should you suffer when all you're doing is just sitting? don't you have the right to sit down? does it make sense? learn the hard lesson of being alone first. "bad" thoughts arise, but you won't be able to assert their veracity. you won't be able to do so not because you're intellectually incapable, but because it's an impossible task. stop thinking that you need the approval of others to be happy and just be happy with the mystical experience of the present moment. when you learn to be content and steady with only what's happening right now, that's enlightenment. that's the full healing.

if you really want to investigate what is True, you will run out of things to say. nothing is absolutely true. not even physics. not even mathematics, since mathematics are logical constructions made out of relative choices of humanly convenient axioms. you won't be feeling heavy and dense emotions for the rest of your life. you just need to be up to date with the present moment and stop accumulating emotional blockages. free the emotional blockages you have at the moment and enter in the flow of Life. you should then experience Reality as a balanced river which is not dry nor overflowing. the universe of human feelings, if experienced with order instead of chaos, is actually extraordinarily wonderful.

very intimately in my heart, i do pray for all of us. i want us all to be free of suffering and responsible for a better world. feel it all. find and feel the very source of your pain in your body. the thought is just an illusory statement. the emotion is physical and real. be with the emotions and let go of thoughts.

you're fantasizing fairy tales. "nobody" has that perfect life that you imagine. even those who seem to have it all are craving for something they don't have. do the research by yourself. get close to someone and investigate his/her sufferings. ask them directly. unless he/she is enlightened, he/she'll be craving for something. and enlightened people are extremely rare. if you want to envy someone, envy enlightened beings and work towards becoming enlightened as well by dropping the entire game of cyclic cravings and attachments altogether.

@Berto97 my life purpose is to heal this planet by planting forests and inspire people around me to become healthy by aligning their lives with the life and health of this planet.

is it something like "fully and increasingly experience the awe of Being"?

@Leo Gura true, but it's a kind of understanding when i try to explain it. words come and go as i struggle. and the embodiment would be a complete acceptance of my ignorance and failure, which is something i've been working on for a few months. basically, i'm feeling impelled to stay away from attempts to rationalize existence. and my daily experience of reality is slowly becoming more and more filled with Silence. i see clearly how complete acceptance is something for very very very few people.

hey i wanna share something with you. yesterday i had an incredibly deep mystical experience with ayahuasca in which i felt the Absolute say through my gut "I DON'T KNOW. I SIMPLY AM". then i really understood that there's no why. there's no ultimate oracle. we, as ignorant beings, are the Universe itself being ignorant about its reasons to be. this body typing these words right now is a legitimately mysterious piece of beauty of Reality. and it can't be explained. i can't know. i simply am.

@BobbyLowell yes, but you have to have a clear and lucid vision of what it means to be confident. if you think of confidence as a quality that makes you better than others, then you'll be working against the expansion of consciousness. if you notice a sense of competition, let go of it instantly! healthy confidence is about enjoying being who you are for no special reason other than simply being. healthy confidence is about finding peace without the need of low conscious experiences, because a confident person recognizes his/her integrity. important: you're already complete, but you may hold some deep belief that you are incomplete. i'm saying this because it's important that you ask yourself what you ACTUALLY NEED FOR REAL.

@BobbyLowell if you want to think separately, focus on one weakness at a time. soon enough you'll find out (feel) that true confidence and authenticity comes from your ability to love and be truly compassionate. if you're able to open your heart, be sincere and experience love, there's really nothing to fear.

@BobbyLowell do it more often. 2~3 times in a day.
