Big Guru Balls

750 billion people and rising, I'm sure there's a good chance a couple of folks will have the same idea. Nothing new under the sun. And yeah, I've had his happen a few times. Next time you have a great idea,patent that shit before the other guy. Then sue him if he steals it. Winning

What say ye, o' wise ones? Speculation and total BS 100% allowed.

Interesting. I read Teachings of Don Jaun years ago,and took him to be a shaman of some sort. Giving Castenada peyote, and devils flower?,can't remember. His trips and morphing into a animals and such was an entertaining read. Didn't he just disappear . No one knows what happened or where he disappeared too? Thanks for the vid.

Good stuff Faceless.

@cetus56 bringin' another level to the game with some slick gangsta' vocab.

Big question, sounds like a question for BIG Guru Balls. Why would anyone want to be aware of something that they currently are not aware of? Because there is something affecting them and/or their life in a certain way they can't,or don't understand. If that something comes into awareness it exposes,brings clarity to the reason for why things aren't going the way they wanted or expected. Usually, it is a repetitive action consistently playing out and causing the problem,but isn't understood why. If brought into awareness,they can then see what is needed to change,drop or alter in order to no longer be a prisoner to making the same mistakes that are causing their undo suffering. Or something like that.

Because nothing is perfect.

Watched their first one a couple of years ago. It's 4 parts and also worth watching. Thanks for the post. pt.1

Big Guru approves . This may be of significance to the thread.

Were they making enlightenment a big deal,or,were they driven by choiceless compassion? Given they were fully realized,were they not driven by divine will,not personal will. "Not my will,but Thy will, be done".

I suppose , if there's still any deal being made,then the conditioning/belief of being a separate self/identity has not been fully dissolved.

Pre-enlightenment/realization, is this known? Did you know for fact, pre-enlightenment/realization,or only have ideas/assumptions? The urge/desire to know for oneself what is true,not willing to rely on previous ideas or conclusions. After realization,not such a big deal,loll. Good question. Does truth claim to be spiritual,or those who seek it? Is it a 'spiritual awakening" or just realizing what was always there? Is it a natural behavior for human beings to romanticize the unknown?

Pre-enlightenment- Fear is the illusion/belief of being separate from the source. Post enlightenment- Love is realizing one is not,and never was separate from the source.

Perhaps the happiness the techniques can bring, will open avenues of growth not yet perceived or considered. One thing practices do as a consequence of doing them consistently, is bring more clarity of mind,and "seeing things more clearly"(clearer perception). "Things" not as in objects,but a clearer,opening up of perception. Of possibilities not previously seen/perceived due to "mind clutter,cloudiness,fogginess etc. Like cleaning dirt off a windshield. If you're consistent,it won't take long to notice. It's easily noticeable when it happens.

Responding rationally to the moment would be the appropriate move. If anger is quick to take control,then the ability to stay in control and respond/communicate your dislike of the persons behavior and how it is affecting you assertively, not aggressively, would be the way to go. Either that or minimize, maybe even discontinue the relationship, if the person is not willing to stop the behavior. Adopting enlightened concepts that are not yet in your full comprehension of it's proper meaning or experience is not a good behavioral strategy,imo,. And as you found out yourself when it all crashed.

Music and video Big Guru approves.

Your delightful comment is more than enough.

Wanting to know Truth is not enough. If you need to know it like it's eating at you from the inside out night and day and even if it kills you you're willing to die to know it,then I'd say you're ready. "willing to die to know it" doesn't mean physical suicide either. That's a cop out reserved only for elite pussbags who can't stand themselves and don't deserve to even sniff the sweet taint of truth.

Ego is the developed and then repeated assertion and reinforcement over time, of the conditioned identity and belief that "I am this person,identified as a body",separate from and other than, what is not me/itself. It's primary concern is itself and it's own survival. Death of the belief that it is the body identity, means the death of itself. Fight to the bitter end it will. And in whatever way it can. Identified as the body it constantly seeks and desires to perpetuate and reinforce the identity through physical/object related means. Sex,money,power, big shiny shit it thinks it needs,etc., etc., Purely selfish with no redeeming qualities,ultimately makes more bad decisions than good because what the hell does it know. Not a damn thing,that's what. This separation belief,along with it's supporting thoughts/beliefs,of judgements,opinions,I'm right,your wrong,and since you're not me, f*uck you stuff, Imho it , (the separation belief), is a primary, if not the primary cause of the mountain of unnecessary bullshit a human being puts him/herself through. And it is a strong ass,deeply held belief that keeps the shit show going. When there is strong resistance felt in the body,stand back a bit and watch/observe if this, me/I am other than belief, is at work. Or not. I'm not really a guru per se as the name suggests. But the big balls...,well that can't be argued.
