  1. doomed to fail business model he has gone from the normal exploit the workers to exploit the customers customers are the ones being shafted any bright entrepreneur can step in here and cut down those profit margins back to the market level and save the customers a ton of cash in the process moral of the story? if you have a say in the matter, don't use this credit card processing company
  2. mind wants to be full ... to be well informed, to be important and valued, to make a difference, to change lives, to like and be liked heart wants to be empty ... to be fresh to be spontaneous to be sincere to create from scratch, to live to enjoy, to love and be loved as for god ... it avails of both mind and heart, picks and chooses slowly and carefully to act consciously and deliberately sometimes mind is better, other times heart is better
  3. forgiving is endorsing the indisputable perfection of the now no matter what happened forgiveness frees the forgiver more than the forgiven
  4. yes me fears they doth protest too much they seem ignorant to the fact that repression can't lead to extinction, overt repression leads to covert expression
  5. conservatives seek to quash any mention of the word gay mentioning the word proliferates the lifestyle and in their mind it is a destructive lifestyle the word should have no part of the school curriculum in their opinion stop indoctrinating my kids with the gay agenda is their message outlaw the word and this community will vanish lol
  6. consider his day and age ... homosexuality to him meant repression, it is what the priests and the monks were escaping and perpetuating if you repress anything you can't awaken if you are comfortable in your homosexuality then you can but ultimately, yes all sex is transcended when you see the inanity the animality the violence of it, you don't need to reach god in such crude ways
  7. there is the good fame and the bad if you are using image to put yourself on a pedestal to garner adulation and wealth, you are using empty trickery and nefariously enslaving people ... and you yourself are suffering in this smoke and mirrors fantasy and so are all your followers ... such a lifestyle is on a par with prostitution and is is about as far from conscious as a person can get ... fame and happiness are incompatible, it is pure acting if on the other hand you have something to contribute to humanity, get on that stage already and make yourself seen
  8. life graced me another day in paradise - what can be better than opening one's eyes - i didn't expect it nor ask for it yet here i am basking in the wonder
  9. alarm springing me to action bright and early ... the day--and life-- is won at this very juncture ... nothing else matters, life is gold
  10. if you don't see meditation as the most important priority of life, it means you are not ready for meditation ... then best spend time on other activities
  11. At the world's beginning was Logos; Logos was one with God, and Logos was also God. Logos released itself into the world; the beginning was overseen by Logos and also by God. All things were made by Logos ; and outside Logos was no thing made that was made. In Logos was made possible life; and that life bloomed to the consciousness of man. The consciousness shines even in the dark; and the dark is ever untouched by it.
  12. god returns cause it can do a ton more when it itself is pulling the strings let me explain you have to die to the extent you no longer can even speak your own name can you imagine yourself doing that? but why, you ask you are no longer speaking, it is all god pulling the strings you're now the passenger but a dead one
  13. meditation is cranking up the awareness, can not be anything other than a lifelong activity you might be able to ditch sitting on the mat but i don't know about that i just sit today ... should i be graced with a tomorrow i show my gladness and joy in sitting once more
  14. here's the thing, no one can know another ... who even knows themselves? to know yourself only makes sense comparing yourself to others, for example i am more kind than x but i am less kind than y so the question would need lots of qualifying to be remotely interesting
  15. i would say polyamory is about acute sensitivity, deep empathy and concern to not hurt your partner and in my experience it serves to minimize such narcissism as highlighted in this anecdote
  16. monogamy / matrimony is the only til death does its part that i know of
  17. we certainly loved all the varieties of apples while together but when we see that persimmons have hit the supermarkets we are enthralled which is fine and dandy ... existence is here to enjoy the full bounty the full cornucopia the full diversity ... so if i or them choose or chose to indulge in some more exotic delicacies found out and about, this is welcomed encouraged and affirmed ... nothing is closed off or ruled out when one has freedom ... your peak experience becomes my highest goal
  18. how many fruit trees did god in his munificence create? are you happy to restrict your diet to apples and be happy?
  19. all relationships are doomed to fail, i prefer relating ships, just love people while you have the time and the chance, no need for limits and restrictions love them how you want to be loved, in love you set somebody free and if they come back it is meant to be
  20. yes it is obviously problematic for some but for me is not an issue as i want my partner's greatest fulfillment that is perfectly acceptable and understandable and highly possible ... if with another is where their heart and bliss lies, then that is an expedient development how does one limit and proscribe love and deep attraction? do you enjoy the same meat and vegetables every night?
  21. for me polyamory is, i have love in such overwhelming abundance that i delight in sharing it with many while at the same time i don't burden another with sole responsibility of loving me wholly each gives and each receives out of joy and as they are inclined
  22. yes we were an ENM MFF throuple for most of that time and each of us had others partners as opportunities came ... btw if you are not up on the poly acronyms be sure and check out the reddit polyamory sub, lots of great info and discussions there no none of my poly friends are into self realization like i am but i don't expect anyone out there to be particularly interested in this work; besides, the more "spiritual" one is the less "spiritual" matters arise in conversation since everything is integrated and harmonious; they know my lifestyle namely that i am highly social but also quite reclusive and they enjoy me the way i am just like i enjoy them and would never want to change them from how they are
  23. am committed to a child-free existence myself ... i maintain connection with several poly friends but am not engaged in the poly lifestyle since my long term partner passed away two years ago ... am a happy mid 50s singleton these days and am focused on more meaty matters like self realization
  24. consider instead self vs no-self with no-self ... life still can go on ... but life lives it, there isn't a you to do so ... your will not my will be done o lord mystics such as bernadette roberts enjoyed this kind of ride as she let life steer her as it willed self is accidental and arbitrary, no self is everyone's destiny and fulfillment
