first i want to say you are a beautiful man, you bring a ton to the table, you have talent in many areas, there is no divine spark like yours anywhere, you are going through turbulent waters but you are learning about yourself about life about god about people you are bogged down in extreme polarity right now, if last week is good this week is bad as sure as the sun rises in the sky, you need to see this deeply and get out of such judgement next realize you have created your world, all you said above is your projection your interpretation your critique of what is around you you need to work on you, 50% of life needs to be inner life namely 12 hours every day, 8 hours sleep 4 hours deep spiritual practice / meditation ... this is the platform from which to live your best life to make yourself untouchable incorruptible unstoppable without trying to sound trite, the formula for life is fix you first then love me and i can attest that this really work

there is one happy and that is awareness namely living your true nature, nothing else does compare the term ego is useful to communicate to those stuck in it whilst knowing that ego is awareness imagining it is limited

feeling hate is a sure sign major healing is needed ... first thing to see is that all hatred is self hatred it is not to do with the life experience got to transmute the hate into love ... this is the first step of any spiritual work, to be full and overflowing with love, after this life begins in earnest just have to sit on the cushion, no matter how long how painful how unfruitful ... this is the work

i say ego is needed for the people in your life, they don't want to interact with a robot, the presentation you make is your ego, if you do this consciously ego is well controlled, you are just entertaining folks, when i think of spiritual teachers they all have some eccentricity which makes them stand out for most people the ego runs their life and they are not even aware of it, they think ego is who they are, this needs to be understood and remedied another point is the difference between desire and longing ... desire is wanting what is not but if the desire is a longing for awakening this is okay ... in short want only the supreme, you can't do anything to awaken but you can get up sit on your mat and allow the supreme to mould the clay

yes that is a fine thing ... your ego is the suit of clothes you have to face your fellow humans with ... make sure it is pressed clean trendy well fitting working on yourself is seeing the treasure that you have within and taking maximum advantage ... having done this one can live one's best life

you're either ego or you're god so question is can you be god and live in this incarnation ... mystics say this is achievable and is the point of life ego undergoes tons of awakenings to reach god and this is the result of doing the spiritual work leo identifies many different awakenings in his vids for example awakening to love awakening to oneness awakening to infinity ... god seems to be the ultimate awakening transforming ego is a life long process

the word nothing is misleading it means nothing the mind can ever perceive or even conceive ... mind be blind, finite ignorant of infinite still plenty there and here for that matter

could not have put it any better myself i am enjoying your insights

yes you call it good no matter what, it is what is, it is existence doing its dance, i don't need to meddle or judge, what i see is what's meant to be

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
