David Deida author of The Way of the Superior Man is having a workshop in August where I live. It's a 2 night thing for $250.00. I'm thinking about going by a little concerned and nervous. I wanted to see if anyone has been to one of his workshops? Thanks!

Ah! Thank you! This is very helpful. Ya my version is extremely hard to read. I will also check out that link. @Ajax

"Epictetus also said: "A man must discover an art (or rules) with respect to giving assent; and in respect to his movement he must be careful that they be made with regard to circumstances, that they be consistent with social interests, that they have regard to the value of the object; and as to sensual desire, he should altogether keep away from it; and as to avoidance (aversion) he should not show it with respect to any of the things that are not in our power."" I'm trying to understand this. Can anyone help me out and explain it? I would really appreciate it.

LPT stands for "Life Pro Tip"

Was on reddit and saw this. I came back to it later and I was like "Haha to me that means something completely different" Just wanted to share

What are the main differences between a trophy wife/husband vs. real wife/husband and how can we identify if we are in that type of situation.

@Quizzer The most profound experiences arise from questioning the obvious.

@Dhana Choko Isn't that just a believe and conceptual construct that we made up? How does cheating relate to enlightenment? AHHH soo confused.

@Dhana Choko Thank you, your post has helped me a lot.

@MIA.RIVEL is has, thank you.

@Emerald Wilkins Very insightful. Thank you

@Emerald Wilkins So meditation, self-inquiry, and contemplation are all ways of transcending the ego? Seems like an obvious question but I like questioning the obvious. Haha

@Ayla This just doesn't make sense to me. Why are we putting rules on love? We are just trapping love into agreements and contracts that put specific limitations on love.

@Ayla I also want your opinion on my post above yours. Because I feel what you said relates to my post haha

Here is my question on "true love" and maybe @Sarah_Flagg and @MIA.RIVEL can chime in on this because I feel they are both very knowledgeable on this topic. Can you love someone who is not faithful to you? In other words, in order for me to love you, you need to be sexually faithful and emotionally connected to only me, and if you're not then I can't love you. It seems like I'm holding my love hostage or I'm being selfish with my love if I or someone else does that. But is that what true love is? If I truly loved every aspect of them and they wanted to go be emotional connected and/or sexually with other people then I should be just as happy, loving, and supportive. This sounds crazy but this is what has been coming to me these past couple days when I've been meditating. I guess it comes down to each persons personal definition?
