Princess Arabia

I think the majority doesn't. I also think, maybe at a later date they'll start to come around to these truths and maybe make for a better understanding of them as life has a way of showing us that it's not all a bed of roses. So keep them coming. The Universe has a way of balancing itself out, so those that get upset, as long as what you're saying is the case, the truth will reveal itself eventually and that upset will alchemize and probably turn into appreciation.

I agree. This really heightened my awareness and I myself will tread more carefully when addressing anyone who seem to have mental health issues, but not subjected to. We never know how serious one's issues are and how our comments may impact them either negatively or positively.

Ok, the Universe sees Princess Arabia and all 8billion people and the rats and spiders and alligators and elephants and ants and trees and planets and the sun and the mountains and .....you get the drift. The Universe is personal and has biases and judgements and prejudices and it prefers one thing over the other. It's associated and personalized. Is that better. Maybe I'll change my name to Suzan and now it has to remember not to refer to me as Princess Arabia anymore. Maybe I'll become a man, and give it some more work to do, since it is so personalized and associated with my identity.

I hope the rats are Buddhists. Lol

It's just energy masking as rape. We call it rape and energy knows nothing about rape. No need to call me out saying unlike you. I don't need to like rape. There's no rule book saying one needs to like rape. You're projecting that unto the Universe with your human talk. The Universe is impersonal. God doesn't love anything, that's duality. There's no separation, so how is God loving anything. Know your shit before you start saying unlike me. When the "unlike me" dies, where does that leave my disdain for rape. Same place it was when it started, nowhere. So I choose to not like rape, doesn't make a difference to the Universe as I'm just a drop in the ocean to it.

@RendHeavenRape is not God as the Godhead. The Singularity. It's God asleep to itself. It's God not knowing who it is. It's God veiled. It's God that limited itself into human form and is being a conditioned God. Rape is an act of violence. GOD IN IT'S TRUE UNCONDITIONED UNPROGRAMMED FORM IS NOT RAPE.

Order water, so what. Your itemized list is irrelevant. Make sure to tip the bartender like $2 for the water. Order it with lemon to make it more sophisticated. Don't worry about those small details. Not screwing the date up should be more of your concern.

I guess this excludes older people 50+. They're also looking for relationships but not necessarily kids.

Take care and all the best to you. You're welcome back if you change your mind. ❤️

Oh my! I remember him now, so sad.

While 90,000 more didn't.

Didn't know him; but sorry to hear. Condolences to you and his friends and family.

I guess this is how one does serious philosophy.

If you investigate those emotions you listed love is the common denominator. We hate because we love something else that conflicts with the thing hated. We're sad because we love the opposite of what made us sad. We laugh because we love what made us laugh etc. I think her post makes a lot of sense.

You have so many limiting beliefs. Please don't infect others with them. You ask about books all the time but maybe start to educate yourself about the nature of Reality and how the Universe works. How the mind works and how we have the power to change our circumstances. There's no outside world and it's all within us. It's all energetic and your emotions are energy in motion and the Universe is adapting to you depending on your state of being. Don't focus on the outside world look within. There's no escaping the rat race is simply a belief. You will say you were born in a Thirld World country and how things are and so on and do forth. Doesn't matter. The Universe is unlimited and there are infinite potentials and possibilities.

How does one function with no mind. If I want to go get a glass of water, first I have that thought. Then I act on it. If I want to set my alarm, first the thought appears in the mind then the body moves into action. Doesn't actions follow thought (mind)? Writing this required thought and processes of the mind. To write a book, to make a speech, to interact with people, to think about what to do next. All requires mind and thought. Make me understand no mind, please.

No doubt; so is that joy and excitement. Why single one out, can't have one without the other.

Yes, I'm aware of this and I also expected to get a response like this from someone. Yet another way how we find ways to keep this suffering energy alive. If I'm suffering God knows what and I'm in a bar drinking and having fun and ilm not suffering anymore in that moment, then I go home to sleep and wake up suffering again, isn't that self-inflicted. I'm not undermining people's suffering, because I've been there, but what is suffering, really. If we ruminate about the bad things happening in the world and feel bad because of it, is that suffering. If we're unhappy about our living arrangements and is constantly sad because of it, is that suffering. If we think about the starving kids and we feel their pain is that suffering. What the hell is suffering. What is your question? Why is there actual suffering existing in God's plan. Did God tell you personally that he introduced/created suffering in his plan. When did he tell you this. Did God write a plan. Is the plan in motion or is it all done. Is happiness also in this plan. What plan. What is God's plan suppose to achieve. Having a plan means there's something striving for. There's no time and space existentially, is God's plan instantaneous. That doesn't sound like a plan. Why are we creating our own God. Our idea of God. Where did you get the idea that God wants us to suffer. Isn't taking a dump shitty. Who says, ooh I'm looking forward to this dump. The smell is horrible, the body has to go through pushing and the butthole goes through tremendous wear and tear if the person is constipated. Isn't that a lot of suffering. When it's done, and constipation is cured in the moment, do we go out and write a book about how we suffered during that constipation. No, we move on. You might say, well, constipation doesn't come close to the horrors of my suffering it doesn't compare to real suffering in life. Whose making that distinction. We know the mind makes distinctions, it puts things into categories and sees separation. So the mind is making the distinction between constipation suffering and the fact that you lost your home suffering. The mind, the mind, the mind, the mind, the mind. Some suffering is ok, some not so bad, some terrible. You say one that hasn't had TRUE HORRORS won't understand. What is a true horror. A family massacre that one has to witness or a stranded vehicle in the middle of the most dangerous city in the world or getting stabbed. Who decides what is a true horror. Are there false horrors. Is the mind categorizing again. Isn't that all relative. Relative to an individual that created itself with a bunch of stories, memories and knowledge called the ego. An ego that doesn't really exist because, as we say, only God exists. When you watch a horror movie, do you curse God then. We pay money to go see horrors but when the horror is happening to us, we bitch and complain. Then we say the Universe is a hologram, and it's all inside of us and the rest of Spiritual woo woo, but when it comes to suffering, we have a problem and start to curse God and we start to compare our sufferings and say you wouldn't understand because you haven't been there. Don't bring God into your duality because in God there's no separation.

There's no actual person here. We're all a figment of your imagination. Now, that'll make for a great impermanent monologue.

Ever notice the concept of suffering has been around for eons in the spiritual community. Everywhere you turn it's there; someone mentions the word. You would think by now I'd be seeing a bunch of crying people on the street, in nightclubs, bars, churches, supermarkets and everywhere. You'd think it would make the top headlines in the news. Suffering, suffering, suffering, suffering, suffering and more suffering. I suffer every time I see the word suffering. Yet, hear me now, yet people are still in bars all across the world drinking their heads away, people are still going to night clubs, partying, going to their favorite restaurants, going to bingo, golfing, watching Olympics, betting on Sports games, traveling, donkey riding, having sex, looking to get laid, shopping, masturbating, going to comedy shows, parks, going on roller coasters, by the beach every summer, camping, ski-diving, skiing, going to the zoo, playing World of Warcraft, Solitaire, Mahjong, Spades, drinking 40's in the hood, shooting each other, gossiping......need I go on.....doing all these physical stuff while suffering. Not to mention hanging out on Spiritual forums. I wonder if people are just suffering their own thoughts.

Ok

Does deleting an item actually delete it from the actual thread it was posted in?
