  1. fine and dandy but when i have no argument and want to impose my will all i need say is sorry but on this i need to protect my kids and so a woman is who i and my tradition says she is sorry but i will die for my kids if i have to
  2. the word you foists truth on the unsuspecting you know what i mean, right? see what i did there awakening is the removal of the word you you tell i tell people what happened when you i tasted the broth early on today rather than fishing for some resonance from an innocent the word you should have have penalty points for usage stop telling me stuff about you and ramming it down my throat as if that's the case for me you i show how dumb you are i am for doing so pet peeve of mine
  3. where you need to be careful is that human have invented a god that they inserted into a bible, a god that loves suffering sacrifice and death a truly mysterious entity compared to its namesake
  4. a good way to transcend the limitations of the psyche and its inevitable suffering is not through constant struggle or effort but by a shift of perception to see the divine in everything around you ... no longer focus on the negative, the fear, and the survival instincts that drive human behavior, choose rather to see the presence of the sacred and the sublime in every moment, every being, every experience ... by cultivating this awareness, you begin to see the world as a mirror, allowing you to experience a far deeper connection with existence and an otherworldly peace ... this shift makes a step towards true transcendence which can dissolve the cycle of suffering
  5. amazingly perceptive insights here re the psyche and dismantling its sticky grasp ... the psyche being an evolutionary parasite keeping us trapped in never ending loops of self-referential thoughts certainly rings true for me and brings to mind that one of the first steps in this decoupling might be something as simple yet as potent as laying aside the language of adjectives adjectives are what we use to categorize and define, creating distinctions and judgments that reinforce the illusory separation ... when we describe something as good/bad or pleasant/foul we plunge ourselves in duality and feed the psyche's drive to prop up a self-identity based on comparison and valuation ... if we consciously exclude these descriptors, slowly psyche's influence erodes and loosens its grip allowing us to sample reality as it is - boundless, unconditioned, and free of judgment. to practice this requires a deliberate shift in the manner of engaging with thoughts and emotions ... instead of labeling and categorizing experiences, we merely observe them and let them arise and pass without attachment ... this can dissolve the boundaries that the psyche imposes, ushering a sense of unity and presence in the now ... and it's not just about resisting the psyche's pull but about gently disidentifying from its constructs while dwelling in a state of openness and acceptance rather than evaluation and control
  6. your idea of surrendering to the "abyss of existence" is a way to dropping the ego ...it is the ego's constant need to probe ideas, create timelines, and build self-images that keeps us trapped in a cycle of suffering and limitation and your idea of "merging with reality" is akin to what acim calls "the holy instant" where we drop all defenses, judgments, fears, and open ourselves to the truth of our being and in such moments, we then experience a glimpse of what it means to be one with everything, to see the perfection in all that is, and to feel the deep peace that comes from knowing that there is no need to control or protect ourselves. i liked your anecdote about the old man passing by, and the invitation to open our hearts to his suffering ... forgiveness is not about dismissing the pain in the world, but rather seeing beyond it to recognise the shared essence that connects us and the illusory nature of the separation that seems to cause this suffering ... to truly "lose our life" is to drop the ego's interpretations, and in doing so, to connect to our true self which is one with all. i agree there are no shortcuts and it requires a willingness to confront and overcome our own resistance, and a commitment to see beyond the ego's illusions ... yet each moment of surrender brings us closer to the freedom you talk about ... and in this state, we not only find our own salvation but will also become instruments of healing and peace for others ... this is spiritual work, the work of remembering who we really are and extending that truth to everyone we encounter
  7. yes ... every form is the infinite finitising itself into time and space and rubbing shoulders with other forms of itself each pretending they are different so they can create some you are not going to believe this - adventures to talk about at heaven's water cooler once one understands this, it loses a little lustre and it is time to pick up the toys and go home to do this, you stop finding any fault with the world knowing it's a silly game that you have been playing for way too long doing this it collapses
  8. peace is i dropped all grievances and judgements in the world since 1. i know i am dreaming this up and 2. non-peace is what harms me keeping the dream madness going
  9. god hasn't a clue you're here and truth is you are not ... how could a perfect god entertain death when all in heaven is simply fab
  10. the problem with thinking is you believe it, i am this right? i am that right? yea sounds about right to me no wrong, thought has you in its clutches and controls your life you are nothing to do with thought leave it alone see who you are
  11. THERE FIXED IT ... YOU'RE WELCOME ... MAKE SURE TO APPEND TO YOUR DATING PROFILES 😂
  12. nice is you call the shots, real is my way or the highway women ime dig the latter since by nature they already bring plenty of nice to the table so they want and need and respect the opposite and a man indeed wants to call the shots since he will be the one who will be making the big decisions such as getting down on one knee
  13. my personal manifesto is definitely leave the world be, maybe god will work through me
  14. yes she's gold, she's the forum wifey
  15. i don't need to monitor his personal life to know he's wise on this topic and speaks with uncommon depth and nuance
  16. it's seen as living the dream though
  17. that's your misunderstanding, he speaks this way at times for those who require such talk
  18. you going to walk down the aisle alone?
  19. knowing is being, there is just one thing, all else is believing and is false truth aka god has no interest need or desire for what is false, heaven suffices on its own merits two is utter impossibility
  20. you lose interest which kills ego, when it is good and dead, you gain interest which unleashes spirit in other words deal with fake you first then save the world with real you
  21. the meaning of this is women in general need a man with a plan, a man who will map out the best life possible for her and him and execute it, that's the only way her dreams can come true beginning with nuptials kids and/or the white picket fence
  22. not the best take either, leo isn't trying to do pick up
  23. kind but can you kick the shit out of someone when needed in the unkindest way possible, just to protect your family though
  24. what i am demands and desires what i am not, the bigger and bolder the contrast and the better the assumed fit nice needs naughty
