As long as you are seeing, "separate people", then you are experiencing duality and division. It's not the individual "separate people" that have low consciousness. It's the viewpoint of duality that is creating an appearance of clouds. There is no separation. There is actually no conversation happening on the forum. We are all speaking to ourselves

Sometimes it helps when you see the perfection in people, regardless of if they understand non-duality. If you think non-duality will "improve" their life, then it can make you get preachy. But when you realize how perfect they are, regardless of whether or not they get non-duality, you can just chill with them.

There is nothing wrong with this. Only, I am not sure where you are "going back to". You can never arrive at home. And you can never leave home.

This. The love expands to include everything and everyone.

More requires separation.

Tehya Sky wrote this book called "A Ceremony Called Life". The description of the book is "When your Morning Coffee is as Sacred as Holy Water". I haven't finished reading the book (so I can't give a full recommendation) but I think that book was written as a response to your question. haha

"You screwed up" is shame. And shame releases cortisol. The opposite of shame is pride. And pride releases dopamine. If you believe any "shame based" statement , cortisol will be released in the body. And if you believe any "pride based" statement like a praise/compliment ,dopamine will be released in the body. I honestly don't think it gets much deeper than that. LOL You are not WHAT you think. You FEEL what you think. You are not your thoughts. But you EXPERIENCE your thoughts. It is impossible for you to BECOME a thought, label, adjective, sentence, identity or description. What you ARE does not change. Your true nature is untouchable. Only the ego changes into a shame-based identity like a "screw up".' And here is the super scary part!!! haha Your true nature can't change into a "success" or a "winner" either. Only the ego changes into those pride-based identities. "Screw up" and "Success" are both ego based identities.

The incel movement, MGTOW, feminism movement, trad wives, etc. ----- none of these exist in a vacuum and are all connected. And I blame self love for this. haha There is no turning back. The more we move in the direction of self love collectively, the worse it's going to get. Because self love is the end of codependency and pandering to other people's egos --- which used to be the foundation of many male/female relationships. Self Love raises the bar for what both men and women will tolerate from each other.

"Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding;" - Proverbs 3:5 "And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." - Philippians 4:7 quieting the monkey chatter haha

No. I don't want more from my friends. LOL This reminds of a Benjamin Smythe video. What are you using your friends for? You are using them for something, if you need anything more from them other than a football game and a beer. You want something from them. You are trying to get something. If you need people to intellectually stimulate you or entertain you, that's something you are trying to get. There is nothing wrong with using friends or hanging around like minded people. Or enjoying a deep conversation. But this all serves the ego. On a deeper metaphysical level, other people don't exist as separate from you. Friendship is dualistic division of life and ultimately an illusion. But this goes deep down the rabbit hole. And is another topic altogether.

Pete Docter , producer of Inside Out and Soul, is awakened to the nature of the mind. And he is what I would call a Christian mystic. "To me art is about expressing something that can’t be said in literal terms. You can say it in words, but it’s always just beyond the reach of actual words,." - Pete Docter

Your entire post is the mind pretending that it wants to die. The mind is saying "I couldn't handle my own absence." Well, of course not. You are a fish that is swimming in the truth. You didn't lose the truth. And you can never gain, get or have the truth. And you will never own, cage, hold or capture the truth.

Violence comes from the WIN/LOSE mentality. "If you lose, I will gain." People who live under that mentality, won't necessary like violence, but it will resonate with the chemicals in their psyche.... if that makes any sense. All perceived gains, give off pleasurable chemicals. "Gaining" feels good to the ego. This is why it is recommended to switch to a WIN/WIN mentality. And then violence won't resonate anymore.

THIS.

What do you mean by "yourself"? If you can define "yourself", how would you define it? Do I trust the mind? Absolutely not. LOL There is a lot of B.S. in there. haha I will always be open to people saying "You are full of shit". Always. Doesn't mean I will agree with them. But I will always welcome external guidance. "Not taking feedback" is not a goal of mine.

Disney. haha Moana, especially, reminds me of the journey of ego integration on the spiritual path.

I agree with Carl-Richard.

+1 Also, philosophy meet ups Hippie communities....they are not all Green. Yoga/Meditation classes and retreats Satsangs and Non-Duality talks

Bentinho called Relationships "the anti-Christ of love" in his podcast. I don't agree with everything he said. But it gives food for the mind to chew on.

Differentiate between time and change. Change /= time

Self Love

I misread your quote but it makes a strong point anyways. Jealousy is pride (for another person). The voice of pride says "I OWN a piece of consciousness." or "I OWN a piece of God." Jealousy is when the ego looks at someone who "OWNS a piece of God" .... and then says "That's not fair!! I want to OWN that piece of God too!". Ownership leads to pride. Pride leads to jealousy. The concept of "this is mine" leads to confusion on a metaphysical level...... Jealousy is a side effect of the ownership games that we play. I HAVE = ego I WANT to HAVE what they HAVE = ego responding to ego (aka jealousy) However; a person who , like you said, has their needs met or who has transcended the ego won't fall into jealousy. But jealousy does not exist in a SILO. Jealousy is an egoic reaction to ownership. Ownership is an illusion.

I agree with this. The truth is that you are ONE with the "Hot Girl". And you are ONE with all of the Victoria Secret models. haha They aren't separate from you. You are worthy of every girl in the world. You are connected to every girl in the world. There is also nothing to "gain" from girls. The idea of "Gaining", "Getting" "Having" and "Ownership" is an illusion. But this is a tough illusion to crack and I could write an entire book on how "getting/having/owning" is a metaphysical misunderstanding.

Ariana Grande released a song this year about the Law of Attraction.

It looks like he is beginning to accept Stage Green. He just posted a video demonstration of Breathing techniques to his main channel.
