Truth Addict

Your Mama is a very wise man! .. Just watched your new video and I don't know, I didn't really have that much connection with signs, maybe I'm too blind to be able to perceive them. I mean there definitely have been some moments that I thought were signs, but nevertheless they don't seem to be so anymore. Probably because I now know that I create my signs and all the synchronicities.

That's what I saw at that time, and still see right until now, but what can I do about it? No one listened to me. So, I figured that it doesn't work that way. You gotta be sneakier than a snake.

@tsuki It seems like we've changed sides over the last couple of months I'm not saying anything, and I'm not against or with anyone. It's just interesting how easily perspectives can change over time.

"You don't actually wash your hands ,they wash each other and you just look at them." Something I read on Facebook, just now.

How would you like to do it otherwise? How do you think of the responsibilities of a spiritual leader?

@TrynaBeTurquoise I didn't claim my perspective was the true one. I acknowledge that it is just a perspective, and I don't cling to it. So, slow down big guy, no need for your projections. And no, thanks. I don't really read books anymore. I try but I keep failing, reading books doesn't seem healthy or helpful for me at the moment.

Maybe it isn't about the leader at all. Maybe it is always about the follower. I'm not. But let's say I'm fulfilling your wishes from yesterday. Here I am picking at you ?

Or you follow someone specifically because he gives you the illusion of freedom, using sneakier, i.e. more powerful ways than your ability to detect. Power isn't always explicit, it can also be subtle as well.

All ideas, insights, and distinctions break down and kneel before Love. Yes, you can use the help of maps, but maps are not the territory. Make sure you got this right before proceeding. Now, how you operate and what results you are hoping for are not really up to you. Leave it up to your emotions, they know better.

You could have said 'woof!' once again, and maybe then I would have gotten your point. ?

Exactly! This distinction is made-up. Love is one.

The point which was?

@tsuki I hope you are able to see now that power is a thing, and that the truth is what you make it to be, depending on how much power you have.

I don't care.

That would be a very interesting topic! I'll be eagerly waiting.

@tsuki Suffering is a more general word to me than just pain. Physical pain can be one example of suffering. Suffering doesn't necessarily have to be physical, it can be mental, but that does not exclude the possibility of mental pain which might be a non-mediated type of suffering, a suffering that cannot be avoided and have to be accepted if you don't want to turn it into hell.

There it is, I'm super lazy and kind of greedy. How does these two qualities even work together?! The thing is that my laziness always wins, therefore (maybe even because) I don't have much desires. I mean, really, nothing is worth all the grind. The problem is that I like life that way. So, is it even a problem to begin with?

Sure. But notice this: 'my thread', 'others hijacking it', 'debate'. Those are not the case for me at all, it's just your imagination. What I was saying directly applies to your original question, and what I'm saying now does too. Your fear/concerns are holding you back, but there are no guarantees in life. Life is a gamble, and you gotta take risks. The tricky thing is that by not deciding to take a risk, you're actually also taking a risk, not avoiding it. I think the second-guessing process can be traced back to victim's mentality, which, fortunately, can be worked on. Life is open for you. Do whatever you want. Now I'm done with this thread.

There are basically two types of suffering. There is the suffering that is direct (non-mediated), and there is the indirect suffering which is mediated by attachment and resistance. While you have a little room for choice with the second type, the first type is completely out of your control.

@oMarcos What does survival have to do with delusion? Survival is completely out of anyone's control. Do whatever you want, you don't know what's going to kill you or increase your survival. The notion of "safety" is the illusion.

Yes I can. The question is: What do I really want?

???

Others are you. You are alone. (that's not a sad thing).

It's even more interesting how different the interpretations are before and after realising what he's actually talking about.
