It's the only thing you can't be addicted to. Ask instead, what problems it is visiting on you. For example, time management or relationship boundaries. Remember that ego and meditation are sworn enemies.

We are denying the absolute each moment in favor of a stunted existence right? Yes we need to admit the absolute. It's our nature and destiny. And we don't deny the relative. This creates resistance and reinforcement. All one need do is give up judging and reacting. This creates the opening for the absolute.

Suffering is being what you're not. Why suffer this indignity? Is there any joy or benefit in relativity? You strayed in to this realm needlessly.

Ego can't stop suffering. Ego IS suffering. Ego IS thought. Can a thought stop being a thought? So when thought arises, undo the thought. The opening is created. Ego is impotent. Power can arise.

For me illusions cast a veil upon reality. We want the veil while we believe we are a person living as best we know. Realizing we are not and dropping the veil and returning to where we never left are one and the same event.

I regard you as fiend or friend as thus my life flows in suffering or in joy. I need you and you need me.

Previously the world tortured me. Now I torture me. More devilishly, I blame them as being the cause of my self-inflicted torture.

All illusions are completely real within the illusion. Only stepping outside them are they seen to be nothing - never real, never true, never anything at all.

One who asks whether God is just another illusion is asking this within the illusory split consciousness. Truth cannot be proven in limitation; it comes when illusion is let go. To do this look through the world you see, to feel a presence that cannot be doubted, because it is what you are. Until then, all ‘realizations’ of nothingness, fullness, emptiness etc. are shadows dancing on a wall. Beyond them is a light that you did not invent and cannot deny. That is the experience of God, and always call to you.

He's one of the few to make a lick of sense. If he's gone I'm out of here too.

I blame Leo. We all want to ride the Leo coattails and say we too know. But me I agree with you all the way.

Do it. Don't worry what others do or say. They are your forgiveness lessons. Go into the lion's den and beckon the lion come at you. You made the lion and your fear of it.

me an i ngl!

But do I want to be changed? Nah I don't thanks. And nor does the world want changing. When I wake in the morning, my one mission is to not change. I plead with the world at large to corroborate me, validate me, love me as I am. Reason is I am doing good as I am, right? And I definitely don't want to confront the nagging existential terror of confronting who I actually might be thanks. Please continue to dig me deeper into this ever more mind-blowing reality and whatever you do, don't change one thing. I'll do likewise for you. Deal!

My take on this if I may is as follows. The journey is, to put it in basic terms most have some inkling of, Jesus to Christ to HS to God. Jesus is you as word made flesh, Christ is doing the change of identity work, HS is then becoming the whole manifest reality that you see through forgiveness, and God is having done this opening up and merging with the unmanifest reality. And forgiveness means, to walk around and notice whenever not at peace - to withdraw interpretation and ask HS for a better one knowing well I am never unhappy for the reason I think.
