how would it be like going to sleep and never wake up? how would it be like waking up after never having gone to sleep? alan watts

@PetarKa @Ferdi Le it's been too long since i practiced street workout. i cannot recall the sources. but i ingested 30g of whey protein per day and it felt very efficient.

@PetarKa what i know is that the body is incapable of absorbing more than 30g of protein per day. 40g if you train REALLY HARD. if you exceed that amount, i don't know if it's bad for your kidneys or if it will simply go out of your body when you pee. anyways, it's a waste of money.

@Santiago i am amazed. i'm in pure awe. beautiful.

suffering

@LaucherJunge if you feel complete, don't get involved in discussions with people that try to sell you the idea that you're not complete. they may not feel complete. the practice of selling discontentment is evil and (sadly) present even among spiritual seekers. they're trying to understand something that cannot be understood, resisting to something that should be embraced every second.

@Santiago hello there. the spiritual path can only teach us to avoid optional suffering, like anxiety and regret, mostly. when it comes down to episodes of true and deep human suffering, like illnesses and death, the wisest choice is to embrace the episode completely and to live it deeply. learn from it and then grow out of it. the attitude of avoidance just stacks up more optional suffering above the gross layer of non optional suffering, which you'll have to go through eventually. here are some words of the great master thich nhat hanh about the death of his mother.

ugh

@LaucherJunge that right there is enlightenment! a complete healing. when life feels good for no reason. a very grounded sense of completeness. there's no need to grasp a mental model for reality. as a consistent practice, there's nothing deeper than living gracefully.

@kieranperez observe your thoughts, your words and your body 24/7 you know the drill to observe your thoughts and words. look for self-sabotaging patterns. study yourself. for the body, look for tensioned muscles and learn to relax them. observe discomforts in your abdomen, chest and your throat. learn to understand what the body says. the main goal is to live with a comfortable body and a sharp/steady mind.

@sleeperstakes a good place to start is a consistent meditation habit.

@onacloudynight from my experience, no. pick up is just a waste of time. it's just a mini-game. don't get stuck in a mini-game. go deep into yourself. maybe, someday, you'll find a girl who's devoted to consciousness work too. then you'll find a breach for a much deeper domain of development and growth: an intimate relationship devoted to Truth.

@Miguel Oliveira do you want to feel complete? then stop doing this inner work to use it as a tool to impress others. the way of ego is about attaining. the way of wisdom is about letting go. now, my sincere opinion: i find PUA an extremely poor and petty practice. it's possible to go deeper.

@Lynnel very nice! search for yogi bhajan's books. they're easy to find and there are PLENTY.

@jon hinkle what else do you want? money? cars? fame? women? what is your deepest poverty?

you seem to have some traits of a zen master, but you lack the main ones: presence, contentment and wisdom. why don't you search for a zen sangha near you? the practice of zazen may heal your disgust for life. that's what i did and it works.

@randomancer search for green juices. they're simple, healthy and taste really well.

very good. i like the approach that mentions suffering as the fuel for transformation. it's very realistic.

yes. you're strengthening the illusion of a self to be esteemed. if you want enlightenment, you'll need to get out of the comparing game altogether. if you want enlightenment, choose self-love instead. take good care of your physical and mental health.

@Sheeba you're very young but you deserve to know this: your relationships CANNOT give you happiness. you'll have to find it elsewhere. get ready for a huge fall.

@Socrates very nice! i hope you can manage to integrate the contemplative state in your daily life

your feelings resonate deeply with me. we're welcome.

@Ilyaa you're not scared of people. you're scared of yourself. sit down quietly, close your eyes and try to explore your inner space by letting thoughts come and go and watching your breathing process. there may be fear or some other form of emotional pain. you need to look deeply in you and search for the origin of those negative emotions. when they come up, face them until they vanish. nobody else can do it for you. i highly recommend this book.
