Everything is met with challenge.

[BlueOak]

Everything in this reality meets challenge. There is nothing anyone has ever done or will do that will not have an opposite polarity challenging it. - This is one absolute i've always seen in reality.

Unless you enjoy being challenged, you will always be facing discontent and unhappiness. So cultivating an enjoyment of being challenged, is the only method of doing anything while remaining in a positive state.

[Princess Arabia]

You are seeing challenges because you have labelled what is happening. It's not about cultivating an enjoyment for challenge and having a method for remaining in a positive state. You think you can "methodize" your way out of challenges. You think you can manipulate your way out of challenges. You think you can strategize your way out of challenges.

There is no past, no future existentially, so you're just fantasizing your way out of challenges. If something is happening in the now moment, that is what's happening, the next moment is what's happening, the next and the next and the next and the next. You will be apparently cultivating an enjoyment of memorizing the past and you will be strategizing a plan to try to remain in a positive state for the future. Neither exists and will only be illusions and that will keep you in a loop of endless strategizing. The only way out is to let go of the thoughts and ideas about what's happening and stop seeing them as something happening to you or that anything is about you. It's not. You're stuck in a dream. The only way out of the dream is to realize that it's just a dream and the way to stop dreaming is to recognize there's no one dreaming because the individual is the dream. 

What your post is about is how to keep suffering.

Its about not suffering and enjoying the challenge. There is no way out of challenges, no strategy, no method, because that's how reality works. I might as well be trying to get out of breathing. Nothing you've ever done in life, including this reply, didn't meet the opposite polarity eventually. That's what happens in duality. I appreciate you demonstrating it to me one more time in the reply :D.

You move left you get pushed at right. You build something, and something appears to test the building. I give an absolute view, someone gives me a relative view. I try to build a business, I hit hurdles. I try to run, the exercise will test me. I try to relax, I'll have to get rid of distractions. I try to help someone, I'll hit their biases. I try to diet, I'll fight hunger or cravings. I try to learn a skill, I'll fail a hundred times. Nothing we try to do isn't met with some form of challenge.

I know what your telling me. This body is a concept in my own mind. The challenge is a concept. Duality is a concept. Now is all that exists (but now is also a concept). That doesn't change anything about what I said.

You tell me something you did that didn't eventually hit a challenge. Even meditation will hit challenges, sitting there in a quiet room, there'll be things that challenge it. Its just how this reality works.

As a side note, the future as you describe doesn't exist, no, but all things are being created now before you see them, we see them after they happen. You get spiritual messages of what's coming, intuition, then dreams, and then you hit the physical manifestation of it, because its an ongoing pattern created in each moment.

^^^I apologize that you have to deal with non-dual responses when you talk about a dualistic concept. Apparently non-duals....create an identity against duality with non-duality and then must play non-dual games to defeat duality. Such is the nature of a non-dualist after discovering the nature of the illusory individual I. 

They go on a torrent rampage to deny all of duality as apparent and thus utterly meaningless, unbeknownst to them, that they create meaning by denouncing meaning. Because meaninglessness is defined by meaning. The Non-Dualists does not realize that all language is part of the appearance, so they are like a picture frame with a picture and a label that says " There is no appearance...appearing in the picture frame."

@Razard86

Reality tries to maintain itself. So whatever you have as your reality, the world (you) is trying to maintain aspects of it for you, at the same time as it is decaying or breaking apart.

The funny thing is that my statement will also have the same thing happen to it over time.
