Truth Addict

Develop more consciousness.

@DrewNows If I am to be completely honest with people, I will just tell them that they're boring and that I truly don't want to engage with their boring discussions, and probably don't want to interact with them at all. There's almost no need to say anything at all, but human beings like to talk and bullshit themselves all the time. They create problems and then die hard trying to solve them. I prefer silence and being alone. But that's the comfort zone that I'm trying to get out of in order to become the best version of my self. At the same time, I want to connect with others. I want to just be able to sit in silence with others, with them being cool with it. I want to look them in the eye and just keep staring and staring forever without it being awkward, just sending and receiving love.

I feel love.

The answers are more imagination. Just be aware of that.

I already answered your initial question. And my reply is exactly what you need to do in order to realise infinite intelligence. It's not about beer. It's about doing what you truly desire, and finding your authentic self. There's nothing to do. That's exactly the point. Do what you desire.

@Shadowraix Best of luck my friend ?

Because we want to go in certain ways. They occur because they're necessary for the deluded human beings to keep them where they are. You can enjoy each one of them if you want to (if you don't resist). Meaning that you can remain unconscious and become happy, and then that happiness will make you more conscious. Your actions, however, are dictated by how disciplined you are, by your beliefs, your habits, and your lifestyle.

Probably because you don't do it (probably anymore ?). And therefore you probably resist taking criticism and judgment personally. That's funny because we think that's how we should be. But that's not quite correct. If I feel the need to protect myself, I most certainly will. And I won't even give a damn. Now comes the ego argument: "but that's egoic". Yeah, what's wrong with ego? Ego is God and is good too. That's what being authentic truly means. You might not be able to see the benefits right now, but other people certainly can (that's why they take criticism and judgment personally in the first place). That's what radical open-mindedness truly means. Negative in the sense that they are unwanted?

@hamedsf Cool! It's easier said than done though lol. Anyway, why would anyone take such challenges while there are anaesthetics available? It just doesn't make sense, even for enlightened people, especially for enlightened people. Because if they remain silent, anaesthetics is the default routine for basically any kind surgery. I understand that it's just a metaphor, but it applies to everything. Who are they challenging when experiencing excruciating pain without being attached to their bodies (taking into account the ability to choose easier ways)? Probably their imagination.

@DrewNows Why do we not have to take anything personal? That may be part of the path. Right? We're free to place limitations on ourselves though, I don't see a problem with that. Honestly, I don't know what the term 'negative' means anymore. Right now, I'm in a place where everything is positive. Limiting, yeah, it could mean what you refer to as negative. Limiting the path is not positive nor negative, it's just you deciding to take a certain turn, in a specific way that you want your life to go. Limitation is differentiation, nothing more, nothing less. You want your life to go in a certain direction, so you exclude all other possible directions. It's just as simple as that. You can let go of that, and live in all directions although you don't have to, there's nothing wrong with limiting yourself. Suffering is resisting being, whether it's change or something else. And I'm happy that you're feeling liberated, that's awesome!

@DrewNows You can still go meta on the suffering and realise that you need not to suffer from the beginning. You can learn how to enjoy whatever happens in your life. It's not merely about removing the 'negative feelings', but rather about making them positive. You've probably already realised that everything is meaningless. If so, then great! You just need to actualise that realisation. How do you actualise it? Move from thinking to being. Transcend the mind. How do you do that? Realise the meaninglessness of meaninglessness. Realise that all thoughts are bs. How do you do that? Meditation, isolation, silence. That's all I can help you with. I wish you all the best.

Why do you think that this is somehow bad and that you should suffer from it?

@hamedsf I believe that a human being can sleep two hours a week. It's possible depending on the lifestyle and the number of hours of meditation one practices. Enlightenment is not emotional mastery, but it must lead to it. Am I getting that right?

@DrewNows I remember our conversation, and I can't conclude anymore. I was obviously wrong. Growth is very tricky, since future is a mystery.

Control is an illusion, a trick. A trick so neat that it almost always goes unnoticed. Everything is out of control. Things will happen when they happen. There's no possible way to control anything whatsoever. At the same time, everything is perfect and in place. And all is made, prepared, and planned for you. It takes a lot of courage and faith to actualise that though. And at the same time, it requires no effort whatsoever, because you are already courageous and faithful to stay where you are. ... I lack social intelligence. That's the root problem of my bad communication skills. I don't lack emotional intelligence, I actually am great at that. I just lack enough experience for being able to meet at where people are at, and how they think and what they value and what they love to hear. It's not that I live in a bubble of fantasy right now, but rather that I always used to.

@Shadowraix I understand your concerns ? But I would like to hear some more details, if possible.

@Preetom The more we talk/think about it, the further we get from it. Silence, meditation, and isolation are all that's required.

Have you ever tried going a month without using the internet? I tried it for almost 2 months, I only used the internet for 5-10 mins a day, plus one hour a week. That's where most of my growth happened. But also a lot of growth happened/is happening through the internet nowadays. I like this pendulum pattern. Going all in for whatever end you're on.

Where do you see him tired? He's on the forum answering silly questions all the time. (loosely speaking). Plus, he mentioned that he will reduce the number of videos, because he's now more interested in deepening his awakening, not sharing it with the world.

Do you want a story or do you want the truth?

Exactly. Then he would have to consider that some damages are irreversible, and start to take responsibility for his health and stop drinking beer. Suffering is at a deeper level than addiction and ego games.

Being stuck in hell forever is just a thought that makes hell a true hell. Because if you know that it will pass, you will already be in heaven. You see how this works? There can be no hell without you imagining its eternity. Meditation is the way. Meditation is the way.

Do it, and see how it will make you feel about yourself. If that is truly what you desire.

??? There is never an eternal hell, since God is all-loving and all-merciful, and since all imagination is illusory. Eventually, everything comes back to source, bliss.

@Karas Ego is your imagination. That's all. Everything you imagine is not reality, it's just a map for reality. Mistaking your imagination for reality is called delusion. That should make sense for you right now. But ultimately, reality is imagination, and the map is the territory. From your point of view right now, they're very different and this does not make sense. It's okay, there are many layers of ego, and they all need to be uncovered in order to see the truth. Uncovering some of them is great, as long as you keep an open mind and keep uncovering.
