S-trength i-n n-umbers is the only s.i.n

Fear is, I don't want bad stuff happening. Problem is, the bad is on the way. If today is good tomorrow is bad. Welcome the bad when it arrives. Bad isn't the end. It's what makes you interesting. Every day when I work out, I work out until pain is brutal. Pain is my good friend. And it's not that bad. Take charge of your life and see how fear is equipping you for divinity.

Goals are saying, I know what is best for me. How is that working out for you? The best goal is to remember to pray, please show what is needed here. Let me see with holy eyes. Let me be an envoy that proclaims, all is like this for the best. All I have ever done is messed up the good.

Bible's god is ego's god, a god that believes in punishment and suffering. What a horrible god! God meanwhile doesn't even know you exist. Love cannot countenance fear. Truth cannot visit the false only the false can (try to) visit truth. You are a good story teller. And you choose to keep on doing so. Or not.

Unless you take home everyone you've ever met, you are not going home. That's not pickup, that's Jesus.

1. Non-familial relationships are about: giving the least and getting the most. 2. While behaving so, you are much better off to fake niceness. What you get increases greatly at no cost to you. People like nice more than mean.

How to see it right? The best word I found is forgiveness. Don't just forgive bad, also forgive good. Forgive means to pay no heed to the apparent appearance. Both bad and good want to keep you stuck here. Your eyes will always see the appearance. But you can reinterpret it immediately in the mind: This here is God!

There is imagination and there is reality. Imagination is how one paints over reality. Spiritual work is unpainting reality. Every thing when unpainted is the same. Things have emotional charges which we label good and bad. For example, sickness we say bad. Wellness we say good. These distinctions are what make for suffering and attachment. Every thing is how it must be and when I see it right, I will see what I am.

Game of role-playing being amazing, to establish TDS (top-dog-status) to all and sundry

Yes forms are, anything goes. What matters is the content underlying the forms. This is a choice, ego or god.

You are cerebral not visceral. Which is good. But nobody cares. Button it, my friend. Save it for meditation. When you communicate, tell me something I can relate to. Make your words and message accessible. Don't vomit over me. Give me something memorable to go home with. You are wise I agree. Think deeply but share simply.

We are two fingers of one hand puppet. And to remember that every time I meet you is the work. Our interests, our goals, our needs are one.

He is stating the obvious and trying to make it digestible. It is as clear as day that is what is happening.

He has given good counter points and what he says is on the money. They don't fit your narrative. You are bringing emotionality to this. Read his last 1000 posts and see where there is any emotion. Don't confuse sarcasm with emotion. The former is a teaching tool. It' went over your head. He is the most helpful and sincere person you will find. Unless you are sticking to a narrative.

The interesting question is, can I give up the little free will I have. This is spiritual work, surrender. Of course that takes use of free will too. Then God's will is possible. So spiritual work is readying oneself for God to be God instead of me.

Do I control my body? No, it is doing trillions of things I know not and I influence not. Yet if I eat good my body will be measurably good over time compared to otherwise. I thus have some free will. I can't do much but I can do a little and a little compounds greatly. Those who say there isn't free will are forcing you to see that unlike what the world teaches everyone life is by and large out of your hands. Society needs you to believe you have free will else it collapses. It lies.

To transcend time is simply to stop looking at time. Stop looking at the clock saying surely my hour has to be over already. To stop thinking about time is what transcends time. Try it every time you sit. To be timeless is blissful. Thank god no buzzer has interrupted me and god still has a chance. And to transcend space is but a question of being still enough long enough so that space collapses. There is no space. There is no time.

One of the few who has something worth communicating. Almost all here are lost. Thank god some take the work seriously.

Meaning is, what is in it for me. The extent it helps or its hurts. I ascribe meaning to the helpful as worthy of my consciousness. The hurtful I discard. Something means a lot if it brings my evolution forward. What means a lot is what elevates me or recognises me as the gem I am. Awakening is turning this on its head. Instead of what is in it for me, what of me is in it. That's what I from now on get up in the morning to embrace, True meaning, me-in. Clue is in the word.

Long lost limbs, at every turn, please come home

The world I see is a laboratory for awakening. I see some thing. That thing is but a distinct covering for the totality. I can use my mind rather than my eyes to interpret it that way. It dawns on me, you are the whole, the unity, the fullness. In recognizing that, I recognize myself. I have erased all cause and effect. Now we are the whole, the unity, the fulness. We are the one. We abide in the absolute. The miracle is made manifest. I witness heaven as the resultant reality. Halleluiah boys and girls. I need only pray thus every waking moment to savor the splendor.

A gem of a thread friend. Appreciate your time in unpacking the ineffable. Hits home here. My soundings are similar if not as stellar.

I sleep at 10.15pm and permit 10-10.15 as last screen time where I quickly check and deal with some news, emails, texts. The period 8-10pm, I allow for entertainment so that's screen time too but it's passive consumption. The hours 5-8pm are for dinner and meditating. So for me the evening is all a gradual wind-down of screen time.
