  1. to call someone lazy shows a deep rooted long buried culturally approved fear of being unproductive end of truth though, EVERYONE is lazy ... no person wants to lift one more finger than they have to it is human nature but don't feel bad you're not a bad person, k?
  2. we have little vision, drive, clue about where we want to be so we let the crowd drag us to where it is headed we're lame weak pathetic basically and happy frittering away the cosmological jackpot that fell into our hands this is a clarion call to wake up today and take hold of the reins
  3. life's first few decades is take take take, your cup is empty, you probably don't even have enough cash to live for a year look after number one until you're better situated and financially comfortable; this can even take half a life time or longer love basically is having freedom and when you have it being able to give it to others, you can only give it to the extent you have it
  4. you like who you're like ... likewise in life you'll try to help those who you understand which is those like you ... don't spread yourself thinly, you are not for everyone, do what you know, pick what you know, love what you know
  5. power is the chips you have at your disposal to make others do as you say can be money, fame, reputation, blood, degrees, looks ... it is how you manipulate this life to your benefit assuming that you want to of course note well, power is about others, control is about you, big difference
  6. self mastery is becoming magnetic infectious charismatic magnificent but that isn't why you do it however because you care not a jot about others they will come running in their droves ... what this person has is what i want and you will be delighted to share your intoxicating fragrance generously joyfully abundantly there isn't anything else to do
  7. yea your odds pretty good but goods pretty odd tbf
  8. love is change, is god's constant shape-shifting the one this is what god does change, is god moving, which means,, form is decaying decay seems bad but this is self bias it is changing into new form consciousness is always increasing just as evolution ever ongoing sometimes it moves one step back two steps forward love, in short, is unconsciousness becoming consciousness this is god's will
  9. yea as i see it there's 4 choices: god speaks to god, god speaks to ego, ego speaks to god, or ego speaks to ego god speaks to god is silence god speaks to ego, again no words ... do you need words to tell your arm to type? ego speaks to god ... can ego explain something to god? ego speaks to ego ... one looks to improve the other ... imagining that the other is not already perfect and not on its own unique path to godness speak and act only if asked to is sage advice ... the rest of the time yea share a few poems
  10. what have i done for love's sake today this week this year ever? whereby there wasn't gain for me i did what i did - solely for thee not real tough then not real love love is doing what god wants when it's not what you wants, aligning with what god wills when for itself ego won't
  11. i would suggest first 2 or 3 dates nothing of substance takes place just speak random crazy funny spontaneous stuff doesn't even have to be true ... i mean in my case my memory is like a sieve so i have nothing stored there all you are trying to do is read the energy of each other be yourself but not the silly role you play day to day, the child like innocent impish self that's precisely what i expect from her too, heavy stuff need not apply example: so tell me, what do you do i do like a million things to be honest and that's just in the last month i joined this really far out pottery class last tuesday and do you know what the teacher told us? yadda yadda don't say what do you do then instead say what's something you enjoy doing if you have a free weekend
  12. god just admiring itself in the mirror ??☸
  13. beautiful is how you see god looking like or indeed goddess if you will beautiful stiops you dead in your tracks, makes time stand still, flutters your heart races your pulse, gives you the assurance that god is doing good i look to engineer beauty in my life every day by breathing in these salubrious surroundings deeply when i do so i find myself radiantly beautiful, i had that a-ha moment where i come deeply to see the meaning of be - you - to - full
  14. want to thank you for your beautiful and patient pointers ... you have been missed around here!
  15. how about yourself day to day, are you thinking yourself and behaving as separate or the whole thing
  16. can one write/speak only from one's ego perspective
  17. am confused since you answered with my ego rates itself a 10 so it seemed like you think yourself an ego and now you are saying the opposite
  18. question was addressed to you not the ego, hopefully one day we will get beyond thinking it is us
  19. i think we all have a spiritual ego to a degree, it is saying i know and i want to explain what i know to you a useful question to ask oneself is, how large is my spiritual ego on a 1-10 scale mine is probably like a 3 since i sometimes explain to people what i know even unbidden, this can be useful since putting words to what we know helps to solidify what we know and that's why a forum like this is useful ... i would say we need to limit ourselves in this how do you rate your spiritual ego?
  20. the continuum from isolation to strong boundaries is a good one to contemplate, strong boundaries can keep out unhelpful energy
  21. for a season is great, am looking forward to a 10-day vipasanna retreat the end of the month
  22. leaving is escapism denial supression stay your triggers are your teachers in the cave you will feel spiritual but you aren't and if you leave the cave you will see so
