i have no dog in the fight, i am just stating my not deep take on why monarchs still have credibility daniloover9000 for monarch i say

you are all that and a bag of chips so why not in the words of Elvis, self esteem is seeing, the wonder of you know beyond doubt you are existence's finest workmanship and great hope future generations are depending on precisely what you do today no pressure

monarchs are ways of claiming civilization and organization for outsiders they encourage tourism and reverence for insiders they provide unity and patriotism they work to put the country in a good light they are public employees with lots of trappings and lots of stress prisoners for life unless you snag a nice bride like megan and flee to california

thoughts per se are not problematic, it's your relationship with them. you let them run your life, you are asleep at the wheel thoughts are a terrible master but a fantastic servant see each thought as it arises, if it's bad don't let it pass this is called meditation

seeing beauty is embodying ugliness i want that beauty, look at wretched me spiritual work is integrating what is outside and bringing it back home seeing beauty is a call to integration to get back to I AM opulence and magnificence and loveliness

most of us claim trauma major or minor trauma makes me say i'm a victim as a victim i am now a hater being a victor however will make me a hurter what's the solution? be the visitor, knowing you're not from around here

beautifully written, beautiful share, i love you and hope you stick around and join in more often

step 1 - dealing with oneself lovingly /not being down on oneself step 2 - dealing with the world smartly / not reacting step 3 - dealing as god, dealing as prayer, dealing as love located these i-am discourses given in september 1937: https://2020portal.org/2023/05/i-am-discourse/

yes different animals entirely, there is love of knowledge or knowledge of love philos = love, sophia = knowledge

all belief is ruinous, it means i trust your work but won't do my own, just like qhwn in school saying pssst can i copy your homework we have to grow up specially since leo has told us everything so plainly and we are so fortunate to have stumbled on him i have nothing but gratitude ... and speaking of which spontaneous gratitude is a beautiful thing:

yea spirituality is distraction for those who want to be workaholic or worldaholic spirituality is simply balancing outer with inner, not a bad thing problem with spirituality is it is very individualized and subjective and thus difficult to discuss therefore when you come here you waste your time with stuff that is nothing about your path thing to realize is the following, when you talk to me you talk for you it is only what you contribute in life that brings development so yea reading page after page here is futile and a huge distraction bring something to the table

been doing this for about 4 years ... i have a great quality of life doing this, my body's natural resourcefulness adjusts and provides as needed before taking cold shower, do 100 sit ups and 100 push ups to get the temp high enough to manage the cold plunge in winter i wear 3 light layers, t-shirt sweater fleece and if it goes below zero degrees i will add a 4th when i get up in the dark to meditate, i wrap a blanket around me and have gloves and balaclava at hand for when it's below 5 when outside i don't feel cold since i am on the move so take off the fleece and wear a light jacket why i do this? because the body gives all these things by default and i am tons healthier relying on its management

nihilism is good, you have seen there is no meaning, now go out and give it your meaning for example life is a dream that can end any second so why not write a nice poem today or whatever life is up to you, when over you will wake up and say, next!

just read this in the book The Presence Process:

yes everything you see in the world, is what you seemingly separated from god bring it all back home where it belongs to integrate the dual universe, end all feelings of badness and wrongness and painfulness set it free to be what where how it is ego will tell you everything is bad, you need to tell everything it is good

god didn't create any of this i did when i apparently separated myself from it when i unseparate myself it will go poof read the disappearance of the universe if this idea resonates

there is no price-tag too high for the ego to garner one more day on this planet go to a hospice and talk to folks or ask any billionaire on their death bed ego's programming is to be here tomorrow not today how matters not, now matters not

just be a meek sheep and follow my rules please lol

morality is following another person's rules for your life until you walk in my shoes don't tell me who deserves murdering plenty of inmates on death row definitely DONT deserve being murdered don't impose your morality on me, you are murdering innocent people on death row and then you tell me who deserves murdering? lol

bless you @jimwell for all the beautiful wisdom you share here

welcome my lovely, osho talked about this very matter several times

orgasm is what makes a person spiritual you had ecstatic moments with god and you want that state all the time orgasm is the beginning of self realization in antiquity, people discovered god through orgasm and developed spirituality thereafter it is the only way to taste the absolute for yourself as opposed to adopting belief

the only peace in the world is the absence of hostilities namely how we all live no matter where ... this requires either secure borders or a trusted 3rd party to patrol borders meanwhile peace is the opposite of anger and is an inside job that is you bring peace, you cannot seek peace ... seeking peace is licking your wounds in capitulation saying we lost sad world huh but that's ok because i long since forgave and overcome the world

@cjoseph90 yes there is survival money to maintain our household and those under our roof and there is discretionary money to spread about discretionary funds can be used to help those who need a helping hand ... this money is a good way to make an impact in the world ... at the end of our life we will remember and be remembered by what we gave so don't wait until the end of life to give to those who you care about ... a will is a sad reminder you didn't use what was allocated to you

lending is fine but there does need to be a written payback agreement in place with specific date as to when the payback will conclude and you have to be willing to lose the money as most people are unreliable through no fault of their own and potentially lose a friend over it so do lend and do so because you want this person to do great things but do be prepared to be disappointed best of all is to give to them with no requirement of payback just because you share their vision and passion then if they fail there will no hard feelings maybe even deepening of the bond between you i have lent and i have given and i will weigh up each request on its own merits in general both make me feel happier since i have supported someone important who has turned to me for a chance to make it
