Sure, but if your daughters are tortured in front of you and then killed, your mind may wander to hatred and revenge. we are genetically programmed for it. 

To turn the other cheek is to enter heaven, but it's not easy

@Moksha I think it is healthy to rage if this happens. Freedom is not better than the opposite. If the well-being of others is important that is an enslavement but you are willingly giving your freedom away when you are having kids.

freedom doesn't mean you sit back and take shit, doesn't mean you are all meek and timid, doesn't mean you let people run roughshod

to allow violence isn't to support peace, to allow violence is to perpetuate violence

jesus was a guy who turned the other cheek when needed and also a guy who said, think not that I am cometh to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword

you mess with god or his kids and you are paying

freedom is knowing what you are and which battle has your name on it

The unveiled absolute defines, free from identification. It creates, without getting lost in its creation. It lucidly imagines, without surrendering to its imagination.

Beautifully said. I previously assumed that this spiritual journey was about getting rid of creation and imagination!

Within the dream, causes and effects are inescapable. Even when you see the dream for what it is, you are still part of the causal chain. Your role reverses, according to the direction of your gaze. Looking inward, you become free. Instead of reacting, realization allows you to respond. It sparks a chain reaction of the absolute loving itself within its dream.

@Yimpa Waking up is where the dream gets good, you still have the inward journey to enjoy
