we all live on intellect, what's key is to develop some intelligence, the uncharted untrammelled virgin ground of your unique path you can't do this with others (or with substances) only in silence you may get a hint but then you have to own it and hone it i am real far from awakening but i am real fine doing me

for me i have to prioritize, i simply can't do the work all the hours under the sun since i will be burned out, balance is required, i need my share of pleasures too; however i need to ensure these are not blunting my efforts to do the work; in other words if i am sharpening my ego in my pursuits i will not awaken, so yes by all means i enjoy all that life offers but if i am trying to make myself something special, want myself noticed and cheered on then i am taking one step forward and two steps back and am wasting my god given breath btw very well done on the inroads you are making, seems you are on the cusp, it resonates deeply though i am a long way behind

to want an improved life or even a worse life is egoic desire you designed this life better than any mind can fathom melting the ego is the entire path stop looking to feather your nest and get serious

source is the zestiest sauce right?

haha sorry seems i get carried away like all the best of us do x

everyone you meet is trying to save face and to look good you included how many time in the past week have you admitted your foibles, your failures, your foolishness ... i wager you saved face and omitted them how many times have felt puffed up when someone has said something good about you or felt despondent when people misinterpret you of course you wanna look good it's human nature ... who is going to risk themselves look bad? everyone communicates according to their level of consciousness you are not my confidante you are not my confessor you are not my conscience you have no right to the unvarnished truth from anyone no matter if they claim otherwise or not sending you lot of love x

you suffer because you take what's impermanent as permanent, what's ego as you and what you think as the truth you thought a world into existence and then wonder why you suffer when it's not all that

enlightenment is going from the subjective to the objective, i now have an infinite number of eyes to view from you are me

pain is a body holding on and not letting go suffering is a mind holding on and not letting go the former is futile, your body is crumbling every day, pain is telling you where so you can apply your pain patch to get through the day the latter is your problem but easily transcendable, letting go means to be a new person every day, yesterday's drama is all forgotten, today is a fresh chance to enjoy 24 full hours thus attachment is your problem, you think you're a person trying to put food on a table, drop every such story and do what you came here for

ego is my greed to be someone

did you try? ego for me is the pretence that others are here for me and the desire they affirm me by stroking me in sexual but also non-sexual ways every meditation moment culls ego towards that zero level if you dont want to meditate your way to ego death taking a vow of silence is just as good, online as well as offline

thought is creation, look at that tree, you created it by naming it a tree, otherwise there isn't a tree, when thinking stops universe stops

awakening is intimacy with the parts, enlightenment is integration of the whole awakening is, to be is to know but not conversely (i get to know stuff) enlightenment is, to know is to be but not conversely (knowing is superfluous)

best to drop ideas of god in fact drop all ideas, then you can see even be the god that surprise surprise is idea-less too bliss is when finite i am not, is what i found i brought back all the buzz words just for you so you too could get idea-less a buzz word i just coined btw

to be aware is absolute, to be aware of is relative meaning that you limited yourself when you see a tree, that's a lie an illusion a thought an empty appearance, all there is is awareness of the whole before you

God doesn't even know its name. To do so it needs to drop to duality and inhabit my mind

yea able may have been clearer

remember that mega thread about peter ralston, the jist was only the awakened know love all other love is manipulation possession gratification ostentation etc.

the relative is adding, the absolute is subtracting and speaking of math the relative is dividing the absolute is multiplying the relative is differentiation the absolute is integration (ie calculus)

if i awaken i help me and in this there is nothing i can do for you, my words and or my methods will be nothing to you if i understand i can help you, i don't need to help me since i understand the twist is if i help you to awaken in this way, i bring myself to greater awakening to bring the other to awakening is the only love in particular only the awakened are capable of love love is to resurrect your parts the part is what is awakened the whole is what is enlightened

god has never changed and knows not change change is time

replacing god is alone by god alone is, is helpful and means all that exists is god-ness with nothing else trying to infiltrate structure is division distinction duality ... and so there isn't any

if i didn't save you my work isn't yet done

i don't awaken for an ego but for all long lost limbs looking to surgically reattach i am an oracle a catalyst a hollow bamboo stick

theres two tracks survive&thrive and the one precludes the other happiness is survive while thrive is beyond the happiness unhappiness poles thrive is stuff like challenging, creative, curious, conscious, compassionate, calm you get the picture thrive does what's not been done all choose one or the other alas you cant change i say when you're no more you'll know more
