belief needs to become knowledge, knowledge needs to become experience, experience need to become existence belief knowledge experience are all mental constructs Things happen round me, but I take no part in them. An event becomes an experience only when I am emotionally involved. I am in a state which is complete, which seeks not to improve on itself. Of what use is experience to me? ~Nisargadatta

the low state of consciousness is desire aka attachment aka me ... the high state of consciousness is all good in god's hood the former to quote some cheesy 70s pop songs says gimme gimme gimme while the later says take a chance on me

god is what is desire is what isn't whose team are you on?

you are two things the changing body mind unique to you the changeless soul spirit common to all you can live from either perspective spirituality is being more of the latter materiaility is being more of the former

think you meant endorse not shun, right?

my take is, everything is stacked in my favor every event is for my development every person is on my team despite mind interpreting everything around me as going to hell mind is flat out deluded i know unquestioningly this is where i am meant to be this is what i am meant to receive all this is for maximum benefit

like leo said in his latest episode do you really want to wake up tomorrow and risk falling through the floor ... if not stick with finite mind and let god's be ... or at least approach with reverence and deliberation in your night time dreams you can practice being god ... all that is yours to play with as you will

or per my map false self to true self to no self to all self

waxing about love is cool but for me i have to ask myself what have i done to raise overall consciousness today love is measurable love is concrete love is messy love isn't verbal love isn't passive love isn't detached love may not see a difference but will make a difference

no self isn't loving everyone but knowing who how and how much to love indiscriminate love is a waste and besides most won't recognise your love as love ... love isn't roses and bunnies

body mind isn't you, kill that idea already, meantime love body mind, right there is your finest body of work

mind's not your best friend, it's your worst enemy, it's the only thing keeping you from god, it don't even want you getting up and meditating yet we meekly let it run the show

for whose consciousness did /will i serve salve soothe soften still step in sit with sing to sparkle today

the loved: 1. material provision was faultless, we had little money but always enough to lay on what i needed, lived in comfortable well stocked warm homes 2. had excellent birthday christmases holidays, always had the best gear, the top equipment, the modern accessories, i felt known and understood 3 enjoyed a super tight relationship with my sister who was a year younger, she understood shared validated our entire childhood 4. enrolled in the best of the best schools and so got the best possible education teachers grades the unloved: 1. lost my mum near birth and eventually dad remarried, lost out on having a bond with my birth mum, dad had trouble juggling both roles 2. got shipped off to boarding school at 5 years old until 11 years old, this stunted my development and made me a loner, a swot, a misfit 3. warred with stepmum throughout childhood, she was tyrannical unbalanced abusive and dad was a pussy, home was always a place to be on guard 4. constant conflict made me unable to fit in and have next to no friends, became reclusive introverted sullen despondent conflict averse to be honest i had no idea about love nor felt much love as a child, i was ever in defensive mode, i never felt valued needed important worthy ... have healed these wounds in later years and am in a pretty good place with the family nowadays

self esteem is how you feel about you self confidence is how well you project your self esteem onto others, in others words will they confide in you self confidence is a con job ... nothing but trying to impose your power on others be authentic, worry not about how people perceive you stop trying to impress others and instead be beautiful which is be you to full

god loves its watchtowers from which the dream is viewed but isn't attached to any of them ... they come they go ... it wants them to realize they are not limited and finite but to enjoy the experience of becoming the entire dream ... suffering is a tool to wake them up, without suffering nothing to stop them being devils ... love isn't about healing but rather the breadcrumbs god leaves in your path to wake you up

understand that belief is what mind takes for truth so i believe in god is a necessary first step belief however must be temporary provisional transcended belief is the stage of being a child what to do then? find someone who doesn't believe but knows, listen to them and do what they did pascal's wager is a good smack across the head to wake you up and get you serious you have this one beautiful life ... are you going to awaken or stay asleep

nice is nothing but politics for giver and receiver, kind is a small step up, love is the only thing that makes the world go round yes you can't just love everyone though, you have to be strategic, intentional, measured, discerning, wary, wise what i see is that most don't merit any outpouring, they won't get a single benefit so the target have to be screened real carefully love is the only reason to get up in the morning, if impossible on a given day theni happily stay in bed

belief is what mind takes as truth and therefore mind goes around looking for confirmation to claim that its belief is indeed truth so if you believe christianity is true, you will block anything that suggests otherwise and therefore you created your christian reality in short what you believe is what you see

right? like st augustine said, love then do as you please

was going to say same thing i write to put meat on my ideas for my benefit for my elucidation for my inquiry ... what i write and what i say is what i remember and what i value i aim to forget that i have ever written anything before and i treat every post as a message from god tailor made for me i am happy if people engage with my words but if they don't i still came out ahead so it is win win either way i do love this community and everyone who heartfully shares their words so i am just glad to be here

the time to bed time to rise is life's key ... get that right every day and most stuff falls into place ... no excuses no exceptions no deviations

we all bring assets and debits to the table ... this is a first date conversation, need not be worried about before that ... will not be a deal breaker for everyone though it will be for some ... but it is good that one has this kind of conversation at the beginning ... it is a way of weeding out the players, the creeps, the losers etc bless you today, you will bag a fantastic guy in time i can see that

@leogura this thread is worth a look ... elon musk replies and mentions ketamine

true in the absolute sense yes but if you are the only one in your life doing it, you will get killed off pretty quick so having walls on one's house is plainly a necessary evil
