I know, it's looks really naff compared to this place. Plenty of discussion on non-duality if you can look past that, though.

In a sane world, getting an endorsement from this doink would be just one more nail in the coffin for Trump's election chances.

Not quite, octogenarians are in their eighties and Trump's only 78, which makes him a septuagenarian. Though admittedly that doesn't roll off the tongue quite as easily. (I say 'only', obviously that's still pretty ancient and just one of about a hundred reasons why he's not fit to be in office.)

'The word enlightenment conjures up the idea of some superhuman accomplishment, and the ego likes to keep it that way, but it is simply your natural state of felt oneness with Being. It is a state of connectedness with something immeasurable and indestructible, something that, almost paradoxically, is essentially you and yet is much greater than you. It is finding your true nature beyond name form.' - Eckhart Tolle

I struggled with this initially, too, I found that the trick was just to let the lens come into contact with the eye and then the eye would 'take' it, whereas trying to force it into the eye wouldn't work.

Great! A consistent meditation practice is one of the best things you do for your general wellbeing, in my opinion.

Investigate what's going on inside you when you do find yourself getting triggered, notice what sorts of feelings and emotions get stirred up in you when you think about this person, be very aware in your body; notice where in your body you might be feeling tightness and tension, and allow that inner resistance to release and let your body relax and breathe. As you do so, notice any feelings that might then arise, and just allow those feelings to be felt. This is likely not an issue that's going to go away overnight, so make this into a regular practice, deepen your bodily sensitivity.

Ahh okay, didn't know that - thanks! You've also got to press save when you're done, I almost missed that.

Thanks for sharing bro, excellent resources.🙏

I've just googled 'v.v meaning', and apparently in emoji form it expresses sadness or great dismay. Though maybe MuadDid just leant on their keyboard, Christ knows.

@Keryo Koffa I hear you. Don't mind me, I'm just feeling a bit cranky at the moment.

It's asking too much of people to expect them to read a giant wall of text like that, you need to have some consideration for the reader and break it down into digestible paragraphs.
