for him love is 500 and unconditional love is 550 and enligtenment is nearer 1000 only 4% of humans achieve love, 0.4% achieve unconditional love and about one in 50 million achieve enlightenment

speaking of love, here is what david hakwins had to say on the matter: love is ...

nice one ... yes intention is paramount, intention is dispell all unenlightenment at all times in all people in all places ... this is allied with resolve, determination, earnestness, sincerity, innocence and the faith to keep on forging ahead until your last breath concerning pretending, everyone is pretending in large measure ... key to overcoming this is to act without motive and to be averse to any approval or kudos from others acting without motive means you are doing everything for your true self, you have no choice but to do it, you are being somehow used to make an impact but you don't know why or for who being unmoved by praise or criticism is also important since this marks the death of the ego, you didn't do what you did it was done through you so you can't take credit

the chat-gpt answer:

body mind hasn't free will, is slaves to the thought onslaught you're not a body mind meditation is shifting from the mechanistic you to the real you

cue for the Real Thing, you to me are everything ? ✔?

no-self isn't enlightenment rather it's a closing down of the mind without yes-self yet coming to the fore love need not be spoken about pre enlightenment since people will get lost in their ideas and be corrupted by unawake teachers love is intoxicating seductive and dangerous - no two unawake people can give the same definition or even the right essense when you are enlightened you get love unambiguously and overpoweringly

osho approves:

the limited self isn't a complicated beast per se, the only prayer implicit is allow me this here air to breathe and my daily bread o my god then put on the sun screen and let's head to the beach to hang with fam and have fun

completely agreed and thank you for your words, just fleshing it out for the sake of my flesh, and maybe others if they exist

suffering is striving to stick around, selfishness, self superiority, sociopathy that is having you do my bidding i merit being here and favor this dream over the end of this dream if you didn't do any of this, you would let yourself die

i say there are two modes of operation, thinking and awareness, both are ever available self CAN decide not to entertain certain thoughts, you see its arrival and you don't allow its entry for example the thought of anger arises, you see it, instead of engaging it you take ten silent breaths, anger has fled awareness is the superpower which achieves this, it is your gatekeeper, the ever present monitor, your highest nature watching the show in fact, you CAN dismiss all thoughts in this way and operate from awareness instead if you need to think about something, you can do so awarely, mindfully, dispassionately sitting on the cushion for a while each day is the training ground for this process all thoughts distort the what is, awareness recognises all is unobstructed flawless clarity

you want the trappings not the teachings, seem like it gives you comfort and respectability christianity is one thing, jesus to identify as christian and strip out the putative Son of God may make you feel good but you won't be able to declare this to others since without him you will be living a lie i would say sort out what about jesus resonates and what doesn't

beautiful isn't to do with the seen but the seer, it's how you look not what you see clue is in the word be you to full

blindingly obvious but which of us have the eyes the intention the time you know more becomes you no more

there is one step, know who you are then do as you enjoy, we established the site owner does not

you're the whole jimmy buffet and then some would you like fries too?

full enlightenment ... the owner has been owned, the torch has been passed

thank you for being here x @Osaid

to coin some fine rene and the good bard-smith himself to know more and to be more is to be no more

god doesn't exist! but nor does god not exist god isn't everything but god isn't nothing either these are all silly mind games you need to see through god is the set of all stuff mind understands plus the set of all stuff mind does not understand

some want to fly high like god some want to fly high as god

there is the manifest the unmanifest the beyond ... the first two are the third's toys

mind contaminates MIND, fix your mind then everything is good and pure and true thoughts are nothing but window dressing that prevent you seeing the pristine perfection all around
