nice word or two ...

want to thank you for your beautiful and patient pointers ... you have been missed around here!

how about yourself day to day, are you thinking yourself and behaving as separate or the whole thing

can one write/speak only from one's ego perspective

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

question was addressed to you not the ego, hopefully one day we will get beyond thinking it is us

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?

the continuum from isolation to strong boundaries is a good one to contemplate, strong boundaries can keep out unhelpful energy

for a season is great, am looking forward to a 10-day vipasanna retreat the end of the month

well you are asking so cool, yea

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

spiritual ego is claiming stuff if i ask you then cool

the boredom excitement duality needs collapsing, if you're not excited to leap out of bed in the morning you are doing it wrong there is a whole universe that awaits inspection, all you do as god is receiveand enjoy, all the hard word setting the thing up is done

love yourself so hard, and to the exclusion of all else, that existence can't help but drop all the benefits at your feet look inside at the inimitable masterpiece you are for a couple of years and and all the outer things will be given unto you the world delivers to you exactly what you think you are worth but to change that entails massive commitment and dedication put in 1k hours of meditation and see if you plagued with self doubt

you are right, i did have a word to contribute, but the toxicity led me to try and right the ship i believe what i wrote is important to state (since you ask gist of the insight i have is that suffering is but the peeling away of this me sitting here and so is all for the good.)

why the heck do people come on to argue and not just present positive insights quit with all your judgemental language - wrong false stupid deluded dumb - the extent to which you speak these words shows how unawake you are please understand that every person you ever encounter, speaks the absolute truth according to their level of consciousness work with that, not against it

mind IS robotic and inauthentic, mechanical shallow and nothing but a copy cat have you noticed that you never had an original thought? thus the question becomes how do i get in touch with my intuition and my originality and my genius and my divinity leo's episode on not knowing is a good starter

i say it matters not what a person is like if you are not sexually attracted, it is a waste of both your time, has to be that giddy spark there are plenty more fish in the sea

p-ush a-wareness i-nto n-ow p-roves a-live i- n-ature p-assing a-way i-s n-ear #pain

bravo @Leo Gura not a word to add, thanks for your enthusiasm, wisdom and devotion

you want people's praise you hate people's slays in short you now became their slave

i don't know a ton to be honest, that's why i'm incapable of more than a word or two ... in any case i pray lord destroy all the weight in my head each day and make a pure vessel of me when i wake up tomorrow where you call the shots and where i can see through your eyes only

spirituality is the transcending of psychology you are not angry, anger is trying to trick you into thinking you are, and there begins the work of spirituality

i have cut myself in half so i can make love to my better half

yes thank you i found meditation is nothing more than letting the air pass through me unimpeded, unruffled, smooth, seemless, i am not moving this translates nicely off the mat too, inside me nothing is energeticallyhappening, i feek myself a hollow stick being blown hither and thither by the wind
