  1. meditation is focusing on where in my body is receiving stimulus this moment out of sight sound smell touch taste thought if you're reading, it's sight, hold awareness on the eyes if you're sitting it's touch. hold awareness where body meets chair if a car drives by, hold awareness at ears if dinner is cooking hold awareness on nose if eating hold awareness in the mouth if thought arises hold awareness in mind if no change hold awareness on breath go back and forth between these 7 receiving wordlessly is awakening
  2. what is god though if not nothing ... nothing being the entire set of stuff that mind cannot conceive including itself mind claims to produce something but as we know therein is the grand illusion every something is a big fat nothing thus everything is in fact nothing is and so that is what god is
  3. i was always good at math but it made me far less well rounded and more isolated than i would have been otherwise would much rather be more well-read and gregarious and am working on that now
  4. i agree but it still fun to play fancy dress and besides that's why i came
  5. freedom doesn't mean you sit back and take shit, doesn't mean you are all meek and timid, doesn't mean you let people run roughshod to allow violence isn't to support peace, to allow violence is to perpetuate violence jesus was a guy who turned the other cheek when needed and also a guy who said, think not that I am cometh to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword you mess with god or his kids and you are paying freedom is knowing what you are and which battle has your name on it
  6. for me it's about reaching a so called fuck you level of assets ... namely i no longer depend on another's approval to deserve my daily bread the whims and woes of others have long since been left behind now it's all me (there's calculators that can spit out this retirement number by you inputting personal variables)
  7. nice gives people what they want instead of what they need politics at its finest kind is better but still thinks of their feelings too much love gives the measure they need easy if you know they are you
  8. if sexual needs are not adequately addressed and satisfied this won't be solved this isn't women being triggers for arousal this is about not attending to one's needs and appetites the latter needs to be addressed before leaving the house walking around in a state of perceived deficit will cause one to view women unhealthily fix the root problem or have concrete steps in place that deal with it for example be socializing with and dating women on the regular so your body stops leading you around by your dick
  9. writing (and speaking) is for oneself so have to proceed to benefit oneself authentically as well as optimally writing lifts one's own level of consciousness, one shocks oneself and makes break throughs
  10. yes, i like to distinguish understand and know ... understand is step by step and mental and explainable, know is instant and direct and beyond words know is to integrate yourself from the part to the whole ... of course you know it because you are it ... it is like saying do i know my arm the limits to be dissolved are the thought one is a separate individual ... hitch a ride with awareness instead of being drug along by thinking you are both sides of every interaction that takes place, object as much as subject, nurture this harmoniously
  11. correct you are awake to the extent you relish uncertainty and cultivate freshness surprise spontaneity ... you are asleep to the extent you are running pre-programmed interactions all day long
  12. very simple, separate residences, see each other when both are up for it never been freer, never been happier
  13. to know the knower is the only knowing, all other knowing is here today gone tomorrow ... to know is to be, the think you know is not to be
  14. for me it's an endless quest of being protector provider prince... am always stepping into women's business way more than i should and ignoring plenty of men going through dire experiences this is a pitiful attachment solution online is for example no profile picture i am not god's gift after all
  15. with leo you have to take the dung as the price for the gold if you are awake taking a slap or two from leo is the best medicine the best compliment the best therapy
  16. spirituality is a 2-step program: know yourself, enjoy yourself don't put the cart before the horse, do the steps in the right order enjoying yourself is letting your true nature live leaping out of bed enthusiastically each morning is a sign this is happening
  17. there is well being and there is true being, one goes out and one goes in one precludes the other in my opinion
  18. would agree with this ... the world and its happenings and its characters are not my business my business is to look on with detachment, equanimity, bliss detachment is, howsoever this moment unfolds it is good equanimity is there isn't anything that makes me feel bad bliss is choosing to breathe beautifully rather than tinkering with the world and having made this here now perfect i am free to love life, to sing with the birds, to dance with butterflies, to paint a tapestry, and to hear any need with boundless compassion
  19. nothing and everything are the sum of dream and can be understood by mind, i am beyond that within, beyond or manifest, unmanifest or dream, dreamer are dualistic pointers
  20. truth is absolute false is a continuum ... some things will lead you to the truth more quickly than others, namely they are closer to truth some teachers for example will resonate strongly and bring you to the goal swiftly while others leave you mired in the delusion
  21. thought comes ... no thought is ever mine ... i claim it as mine ... i am enslaved by following that thought where it leads if rather i see it and don't claim it as mine, it is gone there are some thoughts however for example i am hungry i have to get involved with else i will stave i shall pursue such thoughts mindfully and allow them to lead as they will
  22. creativity is pruning thoughts so they no longer drag you around like the bull with a chain in its nose auto-pilot is the opposite of creativity sameness is man-like, difference is god-like every day i don't do something different is a waste chipping away the false is the true purification the true the mind cannot touch zap the thoughts as they come inside, release the attachments as they present outside
  23. my mind slices and dices the real for its own longevity agenda saying this image i have produced is helpful that image i have produced is harmful i have experienced that my mind is perfectly capable of leaving the real alone, serving it up and not tinkering with it in any way that's when the absolute shows itself
