Of course! I enjoy writing a wide range of content, from blogs to YouTube scripts and everything in between. Currently, I'm working on various projects for different clients. On top of that, I like to share my thoughts in a somewhat poetic way on my Instagram account. It's a fun way to express myself and connect with others. 

What about you? Do you write? 

No, like I said, not professionally, but I did look into becoming a writer for content creators like blog posts, though, but I didn't follow up on it. Is that what's called "copywriting"?

@Princess Arabia Nah, copywriting is mostly about persuasion and getting more sales through the written word. I write copy when the pay is REALLY good else I stay away from it. 

Blog posts are about providing information to the reader in an interesting way so they don’t log off the website halfway through. That’s called engagement. Sometimes the client asks you to push a particular product on their blog so they can make money through affiliate links, and that’s where you write copy.

Ok, that's right. I may message you for a bit more info on this, if you don't mind, as I don't want to take up this space chatting about this too long. Just to get a bit more info on how to get started incase I become more serious on the topic of writing professionally. Cool?

Well, thanks for the clarification on that. I looked at inventing as a subject and an object, so if God is one with it's creation how is it separate. So that's where I was a bit confused. Sometimes words can become an obstacle in trying to convey this stuff, I guess. 

 

Don't you get smart with me, my beloved one. That sounded a little like "well, excuse me, but do you have anything else to debunk". Lol.    You know I'm always asking something because, like you said, children always ask why we just got tired of asking. Growing up I was always the why, why, why one, until the why got tired of itself asking. I even started going to college to study psychology because I wanted to know why so much, but I only lasted one semester. I got a 3.5gpa, 2A's and 2B's. Thought I'd throw that in just to show off. Show off nothing of relevance. Lol

I'll give you an illustration as I finally understand why Leo is so obsessed with looking at his hand....

Look at your hand, notice you can feel your hand. Right now you are aware you are your hand, that it is you because you FEEL connected to it, so much that you are ONE with your hand. Now if you can just feel that same connection you have with your hand with everything else....then everything is your self like your hand is your self. 

For example....my body is YOUR body. Everybody you see is your body. The only reason you would not be aware of it, is because it doesn't feel that way. If I stripped you of all feeling...you COULDN'T BE AWARE of anything...so you could just call everything feeling if you wanted LOL. You'd have to expand the term feeling to the visual if you want as well and include feeling to also include the lack of all feeling also. 

If I started eating some food and you tasted all the food while watching me, if I slipped and fell and you felt all the sensations of my movement and my fall you would instantly be like...."Wait a minute...is that me also?" So how you fool yourself as God is you lower your ability to experience yourself. It's why sex is such an intimate act. You are sharing yourself with yourself with all the smells, friction, etc.... If you were to use sex as a spiritual practice with someone you love deeply...you couldn't help but wake up. 

It made me laugh when I realized this...that's why its freaking love. Whatever is the highest expression of love for a human, the more they do these acts the faster they wake up. When I say highest expression of love I mean...the most selfless acts. In fact the most taboo acts involving selflessness would wake you up faster than anything. It's so counter-intuitive it wouldn't even be appropriate for me to say it lol.

Wouldn't you be aware of the lack of feeling. Are all senses feeling. If I'm smelling something am I feeling it also? How can I not be aware if I'm Awareness.

Technically everything is feeling....we just like to put limitations on what we call feeling. But notice if you couldn't feel your body, and couldn't see it visually....how could you BE anyway? Technically in that case you would be everywhere and no where.....so how you as God can create a center....is to feel you are the center. 

I could also just replace the feeling....with just perception. Perception is just feeling.... If I rob you of all perception...you couldn't be aware of your being. For example...you could go BLANK.....and I'm not talking a black screen, I'm talking about blanking.....how would you feel about blanking permanently? The irony is....you could blank out for eternity....and you would never know how long you were blanked out....because time again is bound by perception, feeling, etc.

The dream, pure imagination, this works better usually, but looking at feeling as an absolute can work as well if you expand it enough.

@Princess Arabia sure thing!

Hmmm. The other night in my blanked -out episode of "severe neurosis" as some affectionately called it, lol, I kept saying it's a feeling, it's a feeling, it's just a feeling i couldn't explain. Then the next day I heard, I believe it was Osho saying in a shorts video, you are not your feelings and we shouldn't identify with our feelings. This shit can get so bizarre and sometimes confusing, now I see why people do psychedelics to cut through the bullshit.

I'm not confused about my true identity, though, and I work from there and figure out the rest.

Well the traditional spiritual path is the path of denial of your current conditions. Remember I talked about indifference? The Masculine Approach to Spiritual wants you to deny thoughts and feelings, and to even renounce all desires. The goal in some of these schools is to never incarnate into form ever again. They teach that we are only here dreaming because of a desire to be a particular form and that we can end the cycle of incarnation by becoming completely indifferent to desire.

If you pull that off you will completely kill the human identity. You will no longer be able to emote at all. I pulled it off but didn't like it....I felt like a got damn robot walking. You will basically just be an empty shell just walking around. Then I realized that path was a form of denial of what is. So I decided to burn from both ends. So I reattached my emotions and aim to properly integrate both indifference and attachment which I believe is the true purpose.

I believe you only truly become human when you attain the perfect balance of indifference and attachment. Which is basically knowing when to connect and disconnect, lol like hanging up a phone. When to pick up and and connect and when to end it.

I believe you cannot construct yourself a particular way to pull it off, it has to flow, like doing improv on a stage. You have to read the situation and respond intuitively.
