This actually a great model of an ideal thread. Instead of describing symbolically the answer to the OP-question, we simply ARE the answer. Haha i died a little from laughing

Förbjudet

My bad, Im not English so I sometimes mess up definitions. Well atleast you’re honest about your intention, thats admirable.

So much passive aggressiveness in this post. But I guess thats just my projection.

If you are so nondual, or so self-realized, why are you wasting so much of your time fighting others? This is such a rookie mistake. The reality is that nonduality is a difficult thing to teach, no matter by what method. Traps are numerous NO MATTER WHICH PATH YOU TAKE. There is no such thing as the perfect path. There is no such thing as a path with no downsides or traps or potential for delusion. Any path you take can be misused. Any teaching you hear can be misused. Any teaching can be dangerous in the wrong hands. Any teaching can be nitpicked and criticized into ill-repute if one so desires. You can easily write a massive diatribe about every single spiritual teacher and spiritual path ever devised by man. And you would be half-right. But all of this is just an ideology game. It's a fundamental failure to understand the other person. It's also rather annoying to moderate and creates idle controversy where none really exists. Not only does it turn good people against each other, it's false and ignorant. - Leo Gura

But the problem is that we as egos have shields we put up. No matter if you argue until the cows come home some people wont accept it, not because youre right or wrong, its just how certain people work. I prefer to just put things out there and if they grasp it they grasp it, otherwise it will take care it of itself.

@Dogsbestfriend A platypus?

You guys/girls should do some contemplation on the futility of arguing.

I moved to a new place 6 years ago and cut ties with my old friends and Ive met alot of different friends since then. However I always have dreams that I meet two specific friends I used to hang out with and its really bugging me, I have NOTHING invested in them, I really dont care what they are up to but i still dream that I meet them all the time, is there something I need to reconcile with them, is my unconscious trying to tell me something?, we didnt cut ties on bad terms or anything. Thanks

Haha bump in the trunk my man

@okuleleIts been 5 years, I doubt we have similar interests anymore, and besides i dont want to regress into my past, i have all of lot bad memories from my time with them, not induced by them though. Maybe i can get in touch over Facebook or something. @starsofclay Wow, that seems like a cool idea, ill see if i can try that, ive lucid dreamed many times before.

If youre lucky to live til 90. You might get hit by a bus tommorrow, or a piano might drop on your head. Every moment is a treasure.

How can I let go of this unconscious desire?

Have you read The Road Less Travelled? Has a great chapter on this, should clear things up.

Whenever I go out I always tend to end up in a circle of friends where theres alot of alcohol involved, but lately its escalated into going to after parties where theres alot of coke involved. Ive done it now maybe 5 times and everytime I say I wont do it again but I can literally feel a disconnect between my heart and my mind when I promise myself, its like I dont believe I wont fall for the peer pressure again. Coke is so destructive and Im literally afraid I might just get a stroke and die at one of my friends places some night. How can I quit these bad habits for good, do I have to disconnect completely from this crowd? The problem is they are super kind people and we share alot of interests in music especially. Please share any advice! And be harsh on me, my lifes on the line...

Thats awesome! The beat is the really good!

A good voice can take you far, my rap voice is not that good naturally, use it as best as you can. Who produces your beats? You buy them?

I like the beat and you have a good bassy voice for rapping, you need to work on your flow and delivery though. Try writing 16 bars that follow a similar meter. Best of luck! Im rooting for you!

Oh my bad, sounds professional in general! Will listen to your EP when it drops.

This is great man! I can feel the passion in your delivery! I followed you on Soundcloud. Keep it up!

@John Iverson It is direct, look for yourself, its actually very easy, close your eyes and locate the mind, takes 5 mins tops to not find it. Why does their have to be a mind for thoughts to exists somewhere? Cut out the middleman.

You ARE your neighbour

I challenge anyone to find the mind! You cant! There is none! Only thoughts and images appearing in awareness. Even the dictionary admits its a model or a complex, a sum of parts. a : the element or complex (see 1complex 1) of elements in an individual that feels, perceives, thinks, wills, and especially reasons 1.The body feels 2.What perceiver? 3.Thoughts appear by themselves of out nothing. 4.Wills? The body effects thoughts and thoughts effect the body, there is no will inbetween. 5.How do you define reasonable? A psychopath thinks its reasonable to stab someone with a meatcleaver.

Sorry to hear about your friendsometimes life shows you its ugly side so we know where we dont want to be i guess. I know its bad, I FEEL thats its bad, my body is so heavy the day after, obviously it is working hard to repair itself and it feels awful. I knew all this before I tried it, I wasnt even remotely interested in it until I did it ”Why do such a shitty drug when there are more or less safe ones you can do instead!” But I got offered and... you know the rest.
