Following is from the red book: "On what basis should I presume to teach you? I give you news of the way of this man, but not of your own way. My path is not your path therefore I / cannot teach you. 24 The way is within us, but not in Gods, nor in teachings, nor in laws. Within us is the way, the truth, and the life. Woe betide those who live by way of examples! Life is not with them. If you live according to an example, you thus live the life of that example, but who should live your own life if not yourselfr So live yourselves. 25 The signposts have fallen, unblazed trails lie before US. 26 Do not be greedy to gobble up the fruits of foreign fields. Do you not know that you yourselves are the firtile acre which bears everything that avails you?There is only one way and that is your way. 27 You seek the path? I warn you away from my own. It can also be the wrong way for you. May each go his own way." Leo´s way is not your own, nor anyone elses and there is no reason what is true for Leo should be true for you.

I know, I wanted it to sound that way. See how it made him reconsider how he has been treating this fellow? The arrow hit the mark. I don't personally hold grudges against david or against anyone for that matter really.

Lmao if that was what enlightenment was like then it would be ten times better to be "pathetic" as you say. You don´t carry a noble message nor noble intentions. You are using enlightenment as a free pass to be an asshole to Mikhael. Altough he isn´t the most normal fellow i have seen over here at least his defence mechanism isn´t as destructive as yours. Please go be "enlightened" somewhere else and don´t spread your "enlightenment" to us. Begone devil. -Sincerely, an unenlightened "pathetic" motherfucker.

Gautama Buddha would like to have a word with you

What if you enlist for military if it's a viable path in your country?

I'm sorry you have to go through all that. I'm sure good things will come your way if you can keep going a little longer. I wish we could help you beyond just throwing some encouraging words around.

You have very interesting dreams. Would you mind telling us a bit about yourself like your job and what your average day looks like and if possible when your dreams started?

1) "The same impressions are not produced by the same objects owing to the differences in animals." 2) The same impressions are not produced by the same objects owing to the differences among human beings. 3) The same impressions are not produced by the same objects owing to the differences among the senses. 4) Owing to the "circumstances, conditions or dispositions," the same objects appear different. The same temperature, as established by instrument, feels very different after an extended period of cold winter weather (it feels warm) than after mild weather in the autumn (it feels cold). Time appears slow when young and fast as aging proceeds. Honey tastes sweet to most but bitter to someone with jaundice. A person with influenza will feel cold and shiver even though she is hot with a fever. 5) "Based on positions, distances, and locations; for owing to each of these the same objects appear different." The same tower appears rectangular at close distance and round from far away. The moon looks like a perfect sphere to the human eye, yet cratered from the view of a telescope. 6) “We deduce that since no object strikes us entirely by itself, but along with something else, it may perhaps be possible to say what the mixture compounded out of the external object and the thing perceived with it is like, but we would not be able to say what the external object is like by itself." 7) "Based, as we said, on the quantity and constitution of the underlying objects, meaning generally by "constitution" the manner of composition." So, for example, goat horn appears black when intact and appears white when ground up. Snow appears white when frozen and translucent as a liquid. 8) "Since all things appear relative, we will suspend judgement about what things exist absolutely and really existent. Do things which exist "differentially" as opposed to those things that have a distinct existence of their own, differ from relative things or not? If they do not differ, then they too are relative; but if they differ, then, since everything which differs is relative to something..., things which exist absolutely are relative." 9) "Based on constancy or rarity of occurrence." The sun is more amazing than a comet, but because we see and feel the warmth of the sun daily and the comet rarely, the latter commands our attention. 10) "There is a Tenth Mode, which is mainly concerned with Ethics, being based on rules of conduct, habits, laws, legendary beliefs, and dogmatic conceptions." source: wikipedia

And if you disagree, it's your own projection. Aren't we tired of such discussions already?

Brother, the fact that you are defending suggests you have something you want to protect badly, and i can tell you what that thing is; it's your opinion of yourself. Take our word for it, we look from outside, you look from within. We can see certain things about yourself that you are unable to see and vice versa.

The ego is an Italian dessert similar to apple pie

Good insight brother. I was also in similar feelings when I had this insight. "I" make me do evil because "I" want things. It is hard to communicate all contents of this experience. I understand what you mean by "what comes next?". Peace brother.

This is a good reaction

I will contact them and see what options i have, thank you.

This is gonna be a quick rant. What is up with the bad boy attitude on this sub forum lately? I wouldn´t give it much thought if it was once or twice or something but such threads come up consistently. I mean i wouldn´t make a deal out of it if the content of the thread read "This is how i came to realize that this action x which seems immoral from a relative point of view is not actually what we think it is." But it usually reads, "Look at how i am an enlightened bad boy." I fail to see if there is any practical or spiritual value in such threads, feel free to enlighten me if you think i am wrong. Thank you.

I´m located in Frankfurt. I´ll look into metaphorization. Thank you

Thank you for your response. In the reply you linked you suggest that it is best to work with a professional. However being a student, i´m on a relatively tight budget. Would there be any other methods you could suggest?

Do you have any advice on shadow work? What dangers should we be cautious of?

Don´t be too harsh on yourself brother, it could happen to the best of us. I wish you a quick recovery

Look into dependent arising.

Baby don't hurt me

"My enlightenment is so juicy i can control each and every one of you" said no enlightened master ever

I heard you like isness, so i put some isness in yo isness so you can be while you are

I´m not the right person to ask imho Don´t hurt me No more

if you meet a conscious woman kill he... wait that was another teaching
