Where in my comment did i say there's nothing to do. We are doomed? Doomed from what. A long and everlasting life? We'll just be dying sooner than later. Maybe suffer a bit more. You see doom and gloom; I see life happening. Forever.

Seemingly. Are the actors on a movie screen going anywhere. Yes, within the movie. Is the TV screen going anywhere, no. Does that answer your question. Now, I'm about to go to the store. Hope I get there.

This is quite obvious if we look around. This is why we go around in circles. Never getting anywhere. This is also why there's nothing to get. The only thing there is to get is what your post is saying.

All I did was laugh and you're telling me I need love. I love you too.

That message on the wall is not a good idea. The subconscious doesn't recognize negatives, as in, no, don't, not; all it hears is smoke. "I will not smoke" is equivalent to "I will smoke" to the subconscious mind. Saying I am a non-smoker or i have quit smoking (even if you still smoke). Try to keep it in the present also. Will power is what the ego uses to try and control reality. It ever works for long. It will go back to doing the same things. Understand that some people have successfully quit because that's who they are. They could probably quit anything cold-turkey that they set out to do because that's how they treat everything. How we do one thing is how we do everything, is a famous quote. Quitting smoking is a hard task because the nicotine in so addictive. Someone did suggest the patch (which is not an addiction, BTW, it's just a tool). Maybe try to cut down as in if you used to smoke a pack a day, (20), try 15, then 10, then 5, then 3,2,1,. These are just suggested numbers. The point is to reduce it everyday. Keep them at a distance, so you have to walk for them etc. Cold turkey might not be for you. Replace it with something else. Maybe gum or some kind of licorice. Black seed oil reduces the cravings. The last thing you want is a cig after taking a hit of that oil (trust me). Whatever you do, don't say to yourself you're trying to quit smoking. The mind doesn't want to be associated with being a quitter. Same thing as losing weight. People gain it back because the mind thinks it lost something (lost weight), so it looks for ways to gain it back. (Not in all cases, it just makes it harder). Like I said, I'm not here trying to tell you how to quit as much as I'm suggesting what really doesn't work or what makes it more frustrating. Study yourself and notice things you used to do or ways of being like 5-10yrs ago that you don't do anymore or different personality. Not by force, they just simply fell away. It's because your identity changed, at the core, different beliefs, different patterns developed because of different circumstances and where you placed your focus, attention and energy. That's how it works. Just telling yourself you won't do this or that is usually a lost cause because those things weren't being done consciously, they are from a program, so the program has to change first. The bit about smoking less everyday, is similiar to changing a program but it's still not a embedded program as much, but it helps. Maybe get a pack you dislike to smoke like really harsh or really soft, whichever you really hate, and start from there. I'm throwing out different tactics for you to try but the mind stuff is more Universal, so to speak, and relates to more than smoking, so I'm able to recommend them. As far as porn goes, idk, maybe get a gf or try to focus on other things. I'm not an expert on those things, I can only guide on what usually doesn't work. Try to see yourself differently, maybe, feel the love that you are, know that you are already that. Nothing will satisfy that emptiness inside if you're not devoting your life to yourself, your beingness. The I AM awareness. It is all that matters. Feel into it and acknowledge it everyday.

Lol

Women don't care about men being mysterious. They want adventure and confidence. Leadership (to a degree) and a protector, meaning not to put her in harms way, to feel comfortable around you and where you're taking her if that's the case. If anything, it's the other way around where women leave a bit of mystery there to keep them interested in learning more about her and wanting to explore more with her. Men seem to be becoming more feminized these days. Only feminine men finds it appealing for them to be a mystery, women don't need mystery, it confuses them. Directness is more appealing. The masculine brain is more adept at dealing with mystery, the feminine's is more intuitive and intuition and mystery don't go together. Men are more logical and can deal with that kind of trying to solve the feminine's allure and finds it more exciting.

Where is the bending of Truth in this case. It's also Truth. Truth isn't some notion of what one thinks is the case or should be the case, Truth is that which is the case. So, him saying what he said is also Truth. You have some preconceived notion in the mind what you think Leo is like and have created your version of him; then when he says something that contradicts that, you say it's unlike him. Nah, it's unlike the version of him that you've created. Leo can't be any other way than Leo, no matter what comes out of his mouth.

That suffering is also love. That hate we feel for anything is also love, that sorrow, sadness, envy, hostility, dislikes, malicious intents etcetc, also love. Love, on an existential level, is everything. Joy, bliss and happiness are finite versions of love. Conditional. Everything is unconditional love. Even if you said you hated the world, that's still love. You've described the human's version of love. I can feel the love in someone's heart when they're hating, being malicious, envious and all those negative emotions. That's coming from a mental disorder. The heart always loves and it's the conditional programming, veils, separation and ignorance that causes these negative emotions to arise. The heart stays intact and is always exuding the love that we are. What I've described is true freedom - and more. It's freedom to do and be whatever it wants. That's freedom. Humans don't really want freedom. We just think we do. Freedom is already the case. We can't see it because we're conditional with our love. Airy fairy love like you've described.

Says who, the mind. There are no "shoulds". It's a catch 22 because when our lives aren't going the way we want it or how we think it's supposed to, we think we should be doing things differently or be thinking differently. It's the mind's programming that's doing that. Yes, we do things differently at times and we upgrade our lives and we need to change somethings about ourselves in order to accomplish certain tasks etc, but I believe it's the constant battle that we engage in with the mind that puts us in certain states or makes us feel a certain way. The projections and the "what we should be doing" instead of going with the flow of life and allowing for it to take us on the ride. This is not a submissive role, it's quite the opposite because now you're not submitting to thoughts and feelings but to life itself. There's a certain wisdom that comes with this habit and a certain clarity and purification of the mind that allows for a more peaceful way of being and brings about less inside turmoil. As far as logic goes, save that for the activity on hand and goal-setting itself where we need to assess the situation and make decisions, but go with the heart more and feel into that more deeply when you're trying to see what it is that you want or would like to experience. Focus on the aspects that you would like to see happen regardless of what the circumstances at hand are revealing to you because life is changing in every moment to suit our particular frequencies and ways of being. If you're concentrating and focusing on what you don't want to do or how you don't want to be you will end up being in more and more situations that matches the unwanted feelings.

That's also the Absolute. It's everything. Can't escape it.

It doesn't because THIS IS THE ABSOLUTE SPEAKING. So is the post and so is Chatgpt, so is this comment.

Hence there's no one in that body. It's a program. Not saying you can't quit. Plenty people have quit. It's just it's not happening now. Those people that quit was still the program running. It's obvious, and I see it everyday with everyone, including this body. Don't fight it. Don't tell yourself you have a problem. Don't say you have a neurological addiction. You're energizing the program even more. I'm speaking to the I AM right now, not someone here. I suggest you not even keep a record of it because that's also strengthening the smoker. It will be on your mind day in and day out. There are ways but I'm in no condition to tell you what those ways are. It will happen on it's own. It's just certain things don't help and I can tell you what doesn't. You have smoked way less, because you are trying to quit, that's the program. To quit totally, the program will have to stop running - on it's own. Keep at it, but without strains. Don't force it, just become conscious and aware of what's happening. Keep seeing yourself as a non-smoker while you're watching yourself smoke. Sooner or later I believe it will fade away.

This conversation is beautiful. It gives me Goosebumps reading it.❤️

Hence my post.

Enjoy the new character. Seems like fun for the I. The mind is having a ball with the "him".

There are no resonance acts in non-dualism. It's all one at that point, so where is the resonance. Someone resonating with something is not non-dualism. One can resonate with the teachings of non-dualism but to be in it, there's no resonance - so-to-speak.

I believe so too.

Huh? This is different. Politics is not about people you don't like, like the neighbors. People's livelihood and survival strategies are at stake. You're speaking generally here and verbal abuse has nothing to do with this. Do some discernment here and see it for what it is.

Worse thing ever. That involves the conscious mind which is only good for solving problems and doing tasks. Operating your life on logic leaves you blind because it doesn't involve the heart nor the subconscious which involves 95% of your decision making, beliefs, habits and eventually personality. The limited human mind will not be able to accurately see what fits into a situation because it doesn't operate in the present. It will base it's decision on memories and images from the past and projections of the future. That's what gets us into problems in the first place.

Better off not thinking at all.

Makes sense. Fits into the scheme of things.

Actually, it's the folks with not much money eating that stuff. You'd be surprised how cheap rich people are.

Makes sense. So I run. Lol
