  1. Making money on the free market is not exclusive to Orange, and can be done at all levels of the spiral. One should not demonize capitalism, in the same way that one should not demonize socialism. Each has its pros and cons.
  2. These are the lies you tell yourself to prevent you from doing real work to clean up your life. Spiritual truths are not meant to be used to settle for mediocrity. Reality might be an illusion, but there are "real" seeming consequences to your procrastination and lack of action. Truly awakened Beings understand this.
  3. Start by accepting responsibility for all aspects of your life. This is hardest, yet most essential. Your quality of life is directly correlated to the amount of responsibility you take.
  4. In 2021, I realized that one should be grateful for each day that we are alive. The idea of a "good" vs. "bad" year went away, and I understood that we all learn valuable lessons throughout life .. even from the "bad" years.
  5. You are drawing unnecessary distinctions. Words like "two" and "different states" need to ultimately be collapsed. There is only one state, and that state is one of Being Infinitely Conscious. There is nothing separate from this state, You have been in the same state for eternity.
  6. Not in a conventional sense .. I often express gratitude to God, and yet at the same time .. I am expressing that same gratitude to myself.
  7. Makes complete sense, almost all hospitals were overwhelmed during the pandemic, and continue to be in some places. I hope nurses worldwide are provided adequate employee resources for therapy and counseling.
  8. Hmm, maybe not slower thinking .. but elevated, more sophisticated thinking. Becoming more conscious allows us to clearly see through our self deceptive and bullshit thoughts. It's all about separating Truth from falsehood.
  9. Existence will not bend to your ego's preferences. This is a hard truth that you'll have to come to accept.
  10. God is Jesus, but it’s also all of us. Nothing special about Jesus as a man per say. He is just a fragment of infinite consciousness.
  11. There is an old saying that goes “Beauty is in the eye of the beholder”.. basically meaning that what is beautiful is relative and unique to every human. It helps to find try to find beauty in everything .. including ugliness. This improves our relationship to God’s design of reality.
  12. I just let it go honestly .. if it gets really irritating, I’ll just stop engaging conversation with that person altogether.
  13. Non duality simply implies that all of reality is indistinguishable. This can be both conceptualized and embodied .. which makes it special.
  14. Realized for the first time how Christmas is deeply embedded in the social matrix .. so took a step back this year. Spending time with family today, but only to observe the dysfunction lol.
  15. The paradox is that goals themselves are founded on conditionality. Reality has to be a certain way for that goal to be considered “accomplished” .. but true spirituality cannot be boxed into such structures. Unconditional peace and love is to radically accept what is … which includes even NOT being able to love unconditionally. In God’s view, ALL humans (including your form-identity) can do no wrong in their thoughts and actions, which is the beauty of liberation.
  16. Getting love from people and substances is also Love. The notion of “higher” value itself is dualistic. God sees all things as equal value.
  17. Hmm, the first question that comes to mind after awakening isn’t usually “now what?” It is more like “why the hell was I asleep for so long??” The pure bliss and feeling of total understanding drives such a question.
  18. You should be smart enough to know that systemic, complex governmental corruption is not something that’s going to be widely broadcasted to the masses. It doesn’t work that way. Instead of asking this simple minded question, do your own independent research .. without looking for confirmation bias to further solidify your own worldview / ideological biases.
  19. To not see that corporate lobbying influences major policy across the board is to be delusional. Whatever issue you deem more important than lobbying, take a step back and see how lobbying and private interest actually influences that very issue. The devil is in the details.
  20. But what about those attached to their toxicity? Like people who love their McDonalds, and other greasy fast-food chains. For them, what healthy people deem toxic is very satisfying. It gets us into the relative notions of good and bad. Just some "food" for thought .. no pun intended lol.
  21. There is nothing outside of Existence.
