Truth Addict

First of all, acceptance. Then doing whatever feels right.

Physical pain prevents physical death. It is love protecting us from getting killed. Emotional suffering prevents ego-death. The reason why evil terrifies you is because in your mind it's related to death. Your mind associated survival with goodness, and death with evil. There is no evil. You decided to invent this idea and call it 'evil' and then you decided to associate it with the stuff that does not serve your survival, whether physical survival or egoic survival. This decision is merely a programming that you've learned from your culture while growing up. You can undo that programming and see things as they actually are: void of evil, and full of love.

@Max_V I see. But you also believe that pain is a bad thing. Who said that? Pain exists for protection. Is protection bad?

@Max_V You believe that death is a bad thing. What if it's the best thing that could ever happen? (hint: it is).

@Giulio Bevilacqua Well, here's a harsh fact: you can't avoid hurting others. You are in a constant battle against everything else in order to stay who you are. This fear that you are feeling is a weapon the ego uses to hide that fact from you. Just let loose and don't take thoughts seriously, because (and this is critical) you are hurting yourself and others through that fear. Imagine what you could do for yourself and others if stopped fearing. A leader does not fear. A leader knows what's best for himself and others.

Meditate and breathe.

Nonduality, and duality.

I'm very indifferent.

@mandyjw Very nice! ?? I'm so glad for you. And I'm excited to see how your path will unfold as you keep sharing it with us as well. Looking forward for more. For now, here's a little gift for you, expressing my gratitude for knowing you: ??

This guy: @Enlightenment

@mandyjw Awesome video Mandy! I have noticed many changes, including getting the lovely tan skin! Your style is becoming more grounded and mature, I like that. It's apparent in your posts here on the forum as well. What practices have you been doing lately if you don't mind answering? Oh, and the silent gaps are always on point!

Notice that any system for evaluating/classifying Truth is also imagination. So, imagination is saying that first person phenomenon is more truthful than second and third person phenomenon? What does that mean? @Master of disguise You might find my comment useful.

@Paul92 It's great that you're clear on what you want out of life. I admire that, and I think that it's essential. I hope someday I will be clear on what I want as much as you are. Anyway, I don't see the problem here. I mean, whether you think other people and yourself are robots or not, does it change anything really in life? I could also think we're unicorns, but we will still be human beings with all of our qualities. Human beings are just human beings. All ideas about them are untrue and unnecessary.

By accepting the old self and loving it first. Then fulfilling its desires. And then after all that, by starting to take action to make changes, following Maslow's hierarchy.

Awesome! And then he will start looking for true happiness.

Everything is hard at first. You will change if you persist. But be careful about what you want to change. Try not to go against yourself.

I get your point that we're all connected. But it's still not convincing for me. I mean I could do evil and still be connected and absolutely good, because Goodness is inevitable. Perhaps if I become too much of a burden on life, natural evolution will automatically discard me, but whatever. @DrewNows I agree. Maybe politics is just not for me (especially right now). Not to say that I can't learn about it, cuz I certainly can and will. @Leo Gura LOL. That logic is sick. I don't mean that. I don't have to do any of the stuff you mentioned. But I will certainly do all of them when they're available. When not, then why struggle for them? Why struggle if I don't have a strong desire to fulfill? That being said, maybe the answer is because I don't have a real political effect on my current situation, since I live in a third-world country? As for the "what's in it for me?" question, I don't think anyone is 100% free of selfishness. After all, my wish to fulfill my desires in changing the world for the better is also partly selfish. So, I'm clear on that point, I'm not looking for material selfish results.

I don't know. Life is beautiful.

I don't see the point of even trying for several reasons: I could die sooner than a couple of years. I could get killed trying to achieve my dreams. I will certainly create more suffering for all of society, since my movement is against the mainstream. All manipulation is egoic, thus cannot solve the initial problem which is delusion. Mankind is the bullshitting animal. Ultimately, we don't need any of the things we think we need right now (including science, schools, spirituality, governments, etc...). But that will never be accepted until devilry/illusion runs its course maybe millennia from now. We only need those things right now because we're still highly deluded. Me creating a new political party is just me creating a division, which will certainly create disturbances in the short term, and may still continue to create disturbances in the long term. I have minor criticisms of Leo's video, but I won't address them, maybe until the series is finished. @DrewNows I already do that all the time (can't escape it), without me knowing and without buying into any ideology, cuz that's my nature.

I haven't finished the video yet. But my main objection wasn't addressed: Given the fact that I'm not gonna live forever, why should I care about politics? I could die after 10 years of hard work in politics trying to evolve society, let alone dying tomorrow, or even tonight. I mean my hard work will not pay off until after I die, so all of my work is in vain. And no, you are all of humanity is not the answer. As for raising the quality of my life, it's not a big deal for me. I've seen a lot and suffered a lot. I live right now by very low standards, and those standards I don't even consider necessary. I don't care a lot about survival anymore. I live mostly for joy. Still, brilliant video for the ones who are interested in politics. It should be taught in schools.

@Anton Rogachevski Actions have consequences, even though morality is imaginary.

Should I wear a sunscreen before swimming?

LOL. I believe Emerald belongs to the same "secret" organisation that Leo serves for. I mean just look at how similar they are. Doesn't that make you even a little bit suspicious?

No worries. Nothing. No one. You. God. Soul. Infinite intelligence. Infinite love. Infinite goodness. Wonder! Magic! All of those point to the same thing. The most obvious thing, yet the most beautiful and unexplainable thing! You. I could give you stories/explanations for why God is the way it is. But how would you truly know? I think any answer I give you would confuse you rather than answer your question. You ask those questions because something is disturbing you and robbing you from feeling peace, stillness, and happiness. Instead of trying to provide answers, try going directly at what you want: PEACE OF MIND. STILLNESS. HAPPINESS. Basically, they're all the same thing, or more accurately, degrees of connection between you and God. Meditate to make more connection. That's my favourite path.
