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.

Porn is mental lube.

Sex is problematic. Whether done for procreation or recreation. It divides you and depletes you. Unconducive to truth. Mainly because the other person is deceived even with the best purest will in the world. Sex has nothing to do with love. There's your deception. Good luck getting someone to swallow that. In summation, better to stand aside. The exception I say is when you finish the work. Then maybe it can be helpful and interesting.

Everything we see is the same. A veil covering an aperture to the absolute. Thoughts can recognise things thus. And so liberate both from limitation.

Everything here is illusion and you need a way to jump out of the illusion. You can't do it. But there is a way. You need to happify your dream and realize you are dreaming and all this is all you. Once you get there, all happens naturally. In short, ego is blocking you from perceiving reality and it needs to be brought to heel.

There's dual thoughts and divine thoughts. Both are available. The latter take you home. The former keep you here. I am not good. I am not bad. I am God. Therefore you are God. By correcting my mistake of seeing you as a gender, a nationality, a religion and instead seeing you as what you are, I enter the divine. This can't be done alone as an intellectual exercise. I need you to save me.

Deception is that everyone is blind. Self deception is I am blind yet know it not. To free oneself of self deception is to learn to see. I see my lies. Doesn't mean I confess or correct. I can be a wilful psychopath. Previously I had no choice.

You're working to keep the world comfortable and hospitable and abundant for you and the coming generation or you are working to drop it. The one noble service is to show our children when they come of age that they could do likewise.
