I separated from his highness God and plonked myself in this universe so I could no longer have to deal with his constant badgering. I am thus the anti-god if you will. Keeping quiet might make me peaceful but it will def entrench my anti-god sentiment. I have overcome o high and mighty one and I am going to live the best life ever. I may fall on my face a while but I've got lifetimes and lifetimes to get this shit down. Anyone feeling?

We think others are different and know not how to bridge this gulf because we are taught others are scary, sneaky, shady. Be sure not to make eye contact and smile as you go your way, we are admonished. Others are out to get you. Religion tells you the truth: we are the same and nobody can hurt you. The practice is, what you believe about me is what you will see in me. In fact, you practice this every day to keep yourself safe, secure, ... lonely.

Duality is the attempt to split a thought-form called I from the absolute reality and then keep on splitting this image up into goodies and badies ad nauseum

Best approach to diet is weekly view or better monthly view. This allows for lots of leeway in good ways and bad ways. I am today reviewing every item I ate and drunk during April to see if any tweaks need implementing this month.

You branding him a psychopath is your narrow conditioning. He was doing what he had to do in the circumstances. There wasn't any other choice. He survives or they survive. Everyone just wants to live another day.

... is every ego's favorite mantra.

He was showing that the illusions of abandonment, betrayal, cruelty, dejection need to be dealt with head on by anyone wanting to awaken. See the terror of the abandonment and then see the madness of believing it. Don't skip any steps. Every illusion needs forgiving. I do this to myself.

Egoic duality is about relationship - thoughts and actions. Only by the two becoming one does duality cease. You can't do it solo. If you think others have something to give you, you are trapped. Others are the ultimate reality. See this and be still.

Notice that one man's horrors is another man's hurrahs.

The good cause is to prove to you that the body is nothing. The body doesn't feel even when you hammer nails in it. And he got right up and carried on his work after he was apparently put to death. You of course don't experience that. But if you believe it and practice it you can get the same point. That's why he did it. So you don't have to go to such extremes. Do what he taught then the body will become nothing. You were never a body. You can realize this like he did. In A course in miracles, they call the cross - The last useless journey.

Said so long to the one in the mirror. It's been fun. Not this post, I mean that's what I said to him.

the progression for me is: impotence to ignorance to innocence to infinite

This limited perceiver is a figment of your imagination. You want to be this right now. You don't even think you have a choice and even if you believe you do, what to even do about it since you believe you're limited? It's like going to work as your boss. Let's say he's in hospital for a day and you step forward and do his job. You know how to do it and you carry it off without a hitch. Everyone is really impressed you were so competent. You go home and you say, that wasn't me. I really don't want something I wasn't picked for. I have a much different role to play in life. I am going to be my true self from now on. Pointers are provided for how to realize this.

Yes in order to have as long as incarnation as possible. Longer is better since every moment is another opportunity to behold the reality. It is slow going but it is an inevitable progression. Everyone gets it and help is everywhere.

Excellent. Thanks for sharing. Keep reminding yourself that the infinite is all around you and by gazing on it you can merge into it.

All jealousy is scarcity mindset and is corrected by realizing abundance mindset. Nobody out there has something I lack. I embody the best of the best.

Remind yourself that you are the light of the world. That doesn't mean you can't do better. In fact, you are here to do better. Self improvement is part of the path.

Yes. The point to remember is don't attack the person but be free to address their action. Every person is doing their best. Actions are improvable for all of us. In that reframe, criticism will be helpful.

Pain is what I need to avoid. Pleasure is what I need to allow. If I don't avoid the one and allow the other, I am the one to blame for all that comes my way. I will take the pain on the chin until I learn this. To learn it means I have taken responsibility for it and over time I reprogram myself that it have no effect. When there is pain due to illness or mishap or age, these I can't avoid but seeing this I can abide in peace without discomfort knowing that all is as should be.

I have the power to choose between the changeful and the changeless, the fine and the sublime. Let me think, to see if my ego has any objections.

Withdraw interest in the sense of self in the firm knowledge that it's not you. Cease assigning meaning to what happens. All that is falsehood. Then perception of the world changes accordingly first in glimpses and then prolonged as you align with the truth of what you are. ACIM describes the result as the real world which is as much as you can do yourself since God itself - or your highest self - takes the final step of restoration.

The world roasts and the AI toasts. A necessary counterweight in a hurting world.

It's what you say that matters not what AI says. Task is to make it express you better.

Suffering is two things: 1. Thinking there is a me here who matters and 2. The thought I am living a life that matters 1. is the identity error and 2. is how I keep myself from addressing 1. by losing myself in the world. Better is possible.

But should I Stay or should I go?
