  1. @iceprincess So go be with him and burn it to the ground. Sometimes the best way out is through.
  2. You're not appreciating how deep survival goes. The very sensations that we call suffering ARE survival in action. Your survival goes much deeper than your conscious caring to survive. Every muscle movement in your body is governed by survival. Contemplate more deeply what survival is.
  3. Suffering is survival. That's the only reason you suffer.
  4. Suicide is of course just more of survival. It's a seeking of relief from suffering.
  5. Children, behave yourselves.
  6. Ambition is a quality of your underlying personality structure. Most people simply aren't very ambitious. If you are ambitious you would never be satisfied with an extremely minimalistic life. Ambition is not merely some ego trip. It goes deeper than that. Awakened people have different levels of ambition.
  7. Anything can be psychologically addictive. That addiction is not in the psychedelic but in your own mind. Clearly you were using them to escape something.
  8. Those are not ambitions. Those are just the basics of staying alive.
  9. @UnconsciousHuman Look, dude, it's a public forum. What can you expect? People behave as people behave. You can't control that. And as I have always said, hold the teachings loosely. Whether you turn them into dogma is up to you. In this work there is always the tendency to confuse the map for the territory. This is unavoidable.
  10. @Koeke Relax and focus at the same time. Maybe try the do-nothing meditation technique for a while. At some point in your spiritual work you have to learn to just surrender and let nature do its thing. The ego is not going to bull its way into heaven.
  11. It is highly dangerous and worth suppressing for materialists Danger is always relative to whatever one identifies with. If one identifies with materialist science, well, then lots of stuff becomes dangerous.
  12. A concrete life purpose as discussed in the Life Purpose Course is a specific manifestation of Love through the prism of your personality structure. Love is universal but how it manifests through you in your life is a very personal and specific thing. So to develop a life around your life purpose will be the highest manifestation of Love for your avatar. But you must be concrete about it. Since everything is Love, the question then becomes, In what ways will you share your love with the world?
  13. @Patrick Lynam No It won't help you at all.
  14. Purity is key. Use test kits to weed out the junk. Only buy from reputable sources.
  15. Appreciate that people have different levels of ambitiousness. For some people, living in a cabin in the wood is the right path. For other people (highly ambitious people) that is not the right path. They need a more active lifestyle. Stop arguing about which path is best for everyone but instead find which path is right for YOU. You can be enlightened and ambitious, or enlightened and unambitious. Depends on your personality. Personally, I'm very ambitious. Which makes enlightenment harder. Its a lot easier to get enlightened when you have no ambitions.
  16. Indeed, awakening is required. Just what do you think Oneness means? You think you are going to realize Oneness and still maintain that you did are not doing industrialized killing? It's all you baby! Whatever horrors you see in the world are the very horrors you created. You are not gonna be able to blame anyone else for it.
  17. That's a concept. Actually there is only existence.
  18. Non-existence is a concept, which is existence.
  19. 1) You can go experience what it is like to exist as a chair for eternity. This is not a theoretical point. Go do it and report back your results. Stop speculating about it. 2) What you are not taking into account is that even though consciousness is of course not limited by the brain, it is when we are talking about a specific creature. A specific creature is God having limited itself to that creature's morphology, genetics, and capabilities. So while God is all-powerful and all-intelligent in its purest, highest form, that is not true when God incarnates as a cat, mule, or human. Each of these forms has very serious limitations on its abilities. So while God can do calculus, a mule cannot. This is a temporary limitation of the mule's brain and genetics. This is not a permanent situation, but so long as God keeps acting as a mule, God will be limited to what the mule's form allows. And a mule's form does not allow many things, including calculus and God-realization. God is unlimited, but NOT when God is being a mule. "Mule" means limited.
  20. A human is an idea within the Mind of God. It's not the human Mind which realizes God, it's God's Mind which realizes itself. No, it is Truth realization. Go realize what God is. You speak of things you don't understand. The chair is your own Mind.
