forgive = remove all consequences of perpetration rather than mental peace making exercise in your own head

experience without preference is the only happiness gimme your best shot it's all good

you can't forgive a person until you have stripped them of the ability to harm again otherwise you are perpetuating their continued devilry don't inflict trauma on others by forgiving wrongly and giving abusers the green light to go out and abuse

effort is mind effort is ego effort is me yet can i really do anything or is existence leaving no stone unturned to return me to its bosom have your way, this i pray

good post, might be better in the meditation section to get more feedback

cruelty has to be part of your arsenal else you are limiting yourself to one half of reality ... one man's cruelty is another man's kindness ... all is relative and arbitrary ... maybe there are some in the world who only understand through the lens of cruelty ... should i exclude these from my bubble? maybe not

posting is ego, all this woe is me wow is me type stuff, truth is you never did anything but come to the forum and claim that you did replying and connecting with folks is what god does

you are enlightened but prefer the party in dark end

survival is ig both the social media and the i-nstant g-ratification which is pretty ironic as truth is pretty gratifying too but not initially so social

i would say meditation is not a technique, it is a lifestyle a groundedness a sensitivity a dogged determination to be all i do is sit, i never think about meditation when not on the mat, can not recall a thing about even today's meditation, this skeleton just shows up

I: Reality and Subjectivity

love me for a reason and let the reason be love

what does DH say about love? Simply love all that exists ...

at first which was 2 years ago just sat against the wall, each day i did a little more with back off wall, i too struggle with legs, i push left foot close but not touching right calf and then reverse for the other leg, i believe this is called the easy pose, two thirds through meditation have to stretch out legs and flip over to right foot to left calf but soon will be able to do the whole thing ... back is straight and comfortable now

if you are the thougtless choiceless witness you are no longer contaminating reality with your ideas your concepts your perspectives you are pure receptivity you are blissing out and basking in the what is this is all you need for god to use you in its continued shape shifting of the what is you are now available to god reporting for duty as it were @Loba

he doesn't set the game he plays the game, the deck is already dealt and he has to take what it deals

he is saying that ultimately biology trumps intellect ... you don't choose a guy, you are driven, the future of your lineage is at stake in this

point is one man's scumbag is another man's guccibag ... no one self proclaims scumbaggery, they are just enjoying life to the full it is not lying it is just showing your best side, you know like wearing make up

leo was talking about the man not the woman, he is saying get out of your head and stop being so logical if you want to make an impact, she wants the nonchalant fun guy over the needy nerdy

you know when you're sitting for ages and you leg goes all numb with pins and needles and you have to shake it before it can be used again? that's like your life in a nutshell you are the leg and you fell asleep just give yourself a little shake come and rejoin and resume the wholeness the godness the wonder that you are for all is now well stride on shine on sparkle on oh magnificent one time to snap out of the tininess and savor the mightiness

there is realize and there is real eyes, one is mind one is mine my birthright my destiny my true nature my godness waking up meditation is the only thing i can do for myself, even sleep is just to survive, in particular all spiritual practice is futile and keeps me fast asleep, all books all youtube all forums all austerity complete waste of time

too woo woo for me, meditation is my attempt to unveil reality, each to their own, i have never once understood anything SZ has said

au contraire ... meditation is not a practice a discipline or a habit, it is a lifestyle a perspective a grounding a metamorphosis ... i'm a completely different person because of it

nothing out of the ordinary has happened to me and im pretty hardcore about it, but i know i do go deeper all the time and what happens off the mat has been pretty wonderful, ego is pretty much curtailed and i feel an enormous sense of purpose and i am infused with mindfulness

truth ain't dualistic, everything i need is right here
