I <—— Could be a rope too. ?‍♀️

I looks a lot like a snake. Keepin all straight and not-snake like. Oh, also, people who use the word God are full of shit. ?

@TruthSoldier How can content be advanced when advanced is, more content? Rhetoric, no? Or is this a trolling thread? If we’re to truly resolve anything, I vote it’s that picture. Hells going on there? You being led around by the snake… & unfucking yourself? ? If all is so, best trolling seen to date. ? Anxiously awaiting a link to your advanced trolling teachings.

@Yoremo Already having the most fundamental foundation in play, (imo) peruse this list, and see if one calls to you, without reason, rather than thinking and choosing one. If & when one does, employ that practice daily for a while, and then upon returning to the traditional breath meditation, it is as if amplified. Bit like getting out of the way, conditioning arises, and a bit like helping it up & out, and then returning to being out of the way.

Some say there is symbolism beyond the rope, that of a life no longer being led by the ‘snake’, like a self centered manipulative devil blaspheming every which way but in. I mean I don’t say that, but some guru’s do.

It seems unknown only due to what is believed to be known. While there isn’t (ime) per se a ‘knowing’ in advance, there is a being the sphere and the entirety of experience therein. Then there is no knower (or residual impression of) or knowing, or a known or even a potential of knowing a known. Words can’t do it justice, but what’s about to happen has no actual differentiation to what is happening. It only seems to with the transparent veil of the knower. What’s happenin is most fundamentally in that regard, potentiality, and there is therefore the potential for ‘this’ to spoil the fun (‘experience’), and also there is the potential for (we could say) being the vessel of the actuality of healing, which I would place experientially above and beyond fun. But only in a way. At the same time, straight up regular old not-knowing-fun is impossible to beat.

How did / does acceptance of those bring the end of suffering about, is what I’m askin.

Was gonna say ‘nothing not being love’ is a condition held by (?) upon love, but then you nuked the place with the mic drop moon walk, which we all know is the ultimate end game.

If love arose / arises of nothing / nothingness, even that arising would be a property or quality of some sort attributed to nothing, and thus not truly nothing in an absolute unblemished untarnished sense. Another way to say that (property / quality) is condition. Even to taste itself, to think itself, to know itself, would be conditional.

‘Who’ ya talkin about & tellin that too then?

@Someone here What is suffering? Not in any sarcastic or meta sense, but in the it’s accepted and that was the way out sense. In hindsight, what was it?

@Gregory1 How often do you mention and talk about Gregory?

@Iesu Indeed. Just not all at the same time.

Not suggesting complimenting her. Suggesting you notice the thoughts which don’t feel good to you, also won’t feel good to girls. It actually doesn’t matter if you say them out loud or not (to her). By try the opposite, I meant imagine it.

It’d depend on wether she held the same / similar self referential beliefs. In any case it’s hard to see it attracting.

@bloomer Yeah, you’re right. Maybe try the opposite. See how that feels to you. That’s likely how it’ll feel to her. Might make a seemingly complicated thing easier & more natural. Best of luck in any case. ??

@Federico del pueblo Again, if everything = imaginary, that would be included too.

@bloomer You’re going to think I’m crazy and this wouldn’t help, but just a suggestion to try nonetheless… Take a few minutes to read everything you wrote on this thread. Each time you come to some words which are about yourself, say those words out loud, while imagining you are saying it to and about the very girl you are desiring. Just pretend you are saying it directly to her. Really imagine how she would feel while you call her a loser, unattractive, ugly, etc. Don’t ‘beat up on yourself’ here, just imagine as much as you can, her face & reaction to what you’re saying, and how she feels when you share those thoughts about her.

If everything is imaginary, wouldn’t the answer be all of that is included in everything?

First you have to label yourself as laws of physics (not you), then it could seem there could be ‘other you’s’.

Why would you create the thought of a separate universe?

@VeganAwake ? You as well, and congrats on retirement!

Uncertainty is perfectly natural, the fear is in the ‘for me’ interpretation. ‘Knowing a condition’ is really, the thought of, and again the fear factor is the ‘for me’. That is exactly what I’m saying though, emotion is guidance in regards to those thoughts. Body, physical, dog, check direct experience as well. These are thoughts, as labels. Understood. It was in reference to fear. I’m saying animals is a thought experienced so to speak by a human, and that animals don’t experience thoughts like death or avoiding, and that this is projection onto what is believed to be separate & having an experience of thoughts. ?? Maybe, but when not attached to thought / lost in the mind, perception & feeling kind of come to life so to speak. There is no physical reality phenomena, just This.
