Do you want the truth or do you want to be special?

[Ether]

I got a lot of true information and it seems no one is paying attention, you guys rather believe opinions and theories thats ok, but i guess you could say that you dont really want the truth, you just want some theories to tell your friends, or keep deluding yourself. The truth is right here, its in front of you, all of this is the truth, the rest only exists in your mind and it doesnt exist in reality. Where is loser, where is fake person, where is ugly, where is pretty? All those ideas dont exist.

 

BE honest with yourself, do you want the truth or want to feel special?

[Shin]

Notice you're talking to a lots of people heavily identified to their ego.

The ego does not want the truth, so how did he avoid it while still thinking he's going for it ?

Mental masturbation.

@Ether Most likely no, there is so much self-deception going that even 10 books wouldn't cover all of that shit

@Shin Exactly. You want the truth?

[Max_V]

I just want to know what I am.

[LaucherJunge]

@Ether
I don't want neither. I just want to live life to the fullest.

[Ether]

@LaucherJunge For that you need to be enlightned@Max_V There is no self,

[Max_V]

@Ether Ye but I am definetly something. Even being nothing is something.

@Max_V You are literally nothing. Eckahrt tolle said something in a video, he didnt say we were something or nothing but in the middle

[Max_V]

@Ether We are 'not a thing' but not nothing.

Self inquiry is helpful for this. Take meditation for any headaches.

@Ether your ego is showing ... it is ok it happens to us all.

Everyone has the freedom to think act and do whatever they want to. It is not your job to save them. The very fact that you are taking this personalty an projecting anger in this thread is a warning sign that you should sweep you own porch. Work on yourself more and stop trying to save others. It should make no difference  whether someone believes you or not.

The very nature of enlightenment work is you gain the tools to see through reality yourself. If others are not at that point yet well then leave them alone. You do not ask a kindergartner to rebuild an engine, then  get pissed at them when they do not have the ability.   Enlightenment is a process. To get into that process you have to practice. Direct experience through practice is how get you there.  Some people are not there yet , others are struggling but honestly doing the work.  

My advice take a break from the forums and work on yourself.

Good luck

@Ether Actually thoughts do exist as thoughts, it’s just that what they say about reality is not true per se.  That doesn’t mean thought-stories are useless — theory is used as a tool to build knowledge and awareness.  The issues raised by theory in Enlightenment are subtle.  Maybe Leo needs to do a video on this issue because a lot of people seem to oversimplify and hand-wave the role of theory in the project of raising awareness.  Theory is damn important in this work!  I think people get trapped into thinking otherwise, and they only limit themselves unfortunately.

I think some people need theory to convince themselves to change their own perspective like I did, and some people don’t as much. We all need self honesty & self inquiry though, to see what’s goin on in here.

@Source_Mystic Agreed, but im not angry, i just want everyone to be happy. Im not sure if its my ego, or just want to see everyone happy. Honestly i think its a fullfilment thing ya know. Man, i might not even help no one from now on, just sstay with myself. I do know when i reach enlightnment ima just focus on myself and enjoy life in my house. Just like i try to do now but not prosper

"You can lead a horse to water but you can't make them drink."

I was not saying you should isolate yourself that was not the point. As you become more and more enlightened you should engage in life more not less. You just develop a calm and better perspective through enlightenment work . Once you progress to a certain point you will know who and when to help. Just keep up your practice and master yourself  on some basic level.  Enlightenment is earned for the most part.  It's not that I want you not to care about people ether. It is just if they are not doing the work,  you can not give them enlightenment.  If they are resistant to help of any kind well then it is a waste of your time anyway.

I am on the same opinion as @Source_Mystic. See the how egotistical this statement is. Why should we trust you? How do you know that this is true?

It's fine to be egotistical, it's part of the path to feel like a special snowflake, making your views superior (this is where bullying and projection starts) and having such a low consciousness attitude. I can't blame you, I was there too. Increase the quality of "your" consciousness. Then you will see how fortunate you are to come across such circumstances that transformed you and you will respect other people.

@Ether Why do you want?

 

So you are of the opinion that you "got" some "true information" that people aren't "paying attention" to..... Interesting theory.....

I went to a healer and told them I have this uneasiness in my spirit when I think, they told me don't think that way and to take two breaths, call them in the morning.

[Pierre]

The truth is, I want to be special.

@Source_Mystic I completly agree, i want to change this habit. Just let them suffer

@Ether It is not about letting anyone suffer !? We all cause our own suffering  though our own ignorance.  That is you,  me,  them , everyone on this planet.  We all have the prescription for ignorance,  it is awareness. Just work on getting more awareness and everything will fall into place.
