@How to be wise Question the validity of thoughts which imply this is not already the case. What’s wanted is Being, and Being is not in a room or any space. I think you’ll realize much freedom, and a renewed appreciation for sharing & togetherness. It’s not the people that are the “problem”, it’s just believing the thoughts which don’t feel good. Godspeed. Maybe go have a mystical experience & shake out some fears...? Ya might be overdue. It can also be helpful to get assistance in spotting beliefs we are so accustomed to we aren’t aware we’re holding them.

Lol. Yep. ???

@Buba A re-frame you might consider... your issue has nothing to do with the sexuality you’re talking about. It’s thinking about what other people are thinking. I’d read the six pillars of self esteem.

What do you mean by enlightenment? What do you mean by choice? What is it, literally? What does living it look like to you?

@Nak Khid What is choice?

@Itsokimok What is your direct experience of this ‘alive’?

Said no one. ✊??

Maybe I’m missing something or misunderstanding. Can you explain / reconcile those two statements?

@Aaron p Nice dodging.

@Loving Radiance Yep. Nailed it.

@Loving Radiance Nailed it. What was I doin?

I don’t have words for how much I appreciate you stating that. The key is it’s not actually happening. You’re thought about it, is what’s present, what’s actual. The instant you recognize that, purification begins. The “secret” to mastering emotion is that you’re creating it. There’s nothing to master. ? Only to understand & recognize in direct experience that you are. Shame is one perspective, which is in misunderstanding. How can you know? Suffering. How it feels. Understanding & compassion are another perspective. Perspectives are like socks. We can change them readily. One pair won’t work forever.

?

@Shunyata Oh no you didn’t.

If you can find it in yourself to tolerate a question without all the accusations....what compels you to write responses? Perhaps a minute or two of inspection & contemplation. Maybe you do find a ‘thing’. ?‍♂️

Granted, it’s a relative reference you make to someone there....and in kind this is a relative question....but out of curiosity, who do you consider to be enlightened? Is there anyone presently or in the entire history of the world, whom you consider enlightened? @Eren Eeager Meditation is non-time, non-expectation, non-enlightenment.

Why not?

@Consilience

Identifying. Creating to create, focus is on creating, and the creator is bliss and freedom. Creating to be a creator who is seen or perceived a certain way, is self referential, and is suffering because what is believed to be creating is creation. There are not three; creator, creation, creating. Everyone who has ever created anything, is you. Every creation, is you. Everything that will ever be created, is you. All there is, is creativity. We are, and are playing in & as, God’s mind. All that is, is creativity. All that is, is an appearance. All is coming and going, popping in and out of existence. The more you know about what matter is, the less you know about what it’s becoming. The more you know about what matter is becoming, the less you know about what it is. It seems between these two, there is focus. The “point of convergence”. Notice the feeling of focusing on what is, and compare it to the feeling of focusing on what can be, what you want, what you’ll create. Welcome that feeling, witness It (creation) creating. Take no credit. The one to escape, is the creation, and thus can not. There is only to let the belief of non-appearance, go. Apparently. You are not a solid. You’re liquid love, God’s mind, creation. Creating by appearing solid, and sacrificing the knowing of your infinitude to do so. Waste not. You’re ‘here’ for but a brief appearance. Create. Experientially, there is thought & feeling for you. You don’t have to think & feel for others. They have thought & feeling of their own. You do you. Your way.

@Mirko Just a suggestion...if it doesn’t fit, don’t wear it... Talk to someone about what you’re angry about. Get it out before you do something you might regret. I love you and wish the best for you. There are lot’s of people who can listen & help to understand and let things go. Making the difficulties of life about existentialism is a rough place to be and I feel for ya.

@Scholar Indeed. However you are, whatever you do, whatever you think, infinite love is.

@andreasj No, Jesus was not real.

Which of those are you experiencing, actually? Which of those do you have control over? I suggest what’s actually “terrifying” is how undisciplined your mind is & how much misunderstanding is presently believed & unrecognized, and that this is not beyond your control.

@Alfonsoo Relax, and be you.

@Ariesleith Hell ya. Beautiful. ??
