some people are hell bent on destroying you, and i don't exclude one's flesh and blood from this for example dont tell parents you're gay if they will go off the deep end themselves or at you they cant handle live and let live let alone intimacy

telling many the truth will backfire they will weaponize it and destroy you you own nobody the truth no matter what you declare in addition the truth will destroy many people who out there can handle the truth? every word you speak must be tailored to another's level of consciousness as sociopathic as that sounds

meditation itself is self love; self love is getting up and sucking up the discomfort while the world is cosying up under the covers it is saying i am going to make my few hours here count and not merely eat and drink and be merry meditation itself is placing yourself in god's hand to fashion you as it will, you have no clue but you trust that going in is going to unleash grace whether of inner or outer variety just sit and ride the breath -

survival is i will choose myself over you every time, i deserve to be here, i will maximise my time and happiness even at your ultimate expense love is i will take a bullet for you, as demonstrated by moms dogs and gods and perhaps elephants how to reconcile these two perspectives? how to become a more selflessly loving person? what does love look like and is there anyone who models it? -

you are talking from the absolute, that doesnt help the 99% stuck in the relative -

what you now see is relative reality, everyone everything separate arising passing limited this isn't the real deal, the absolute reality relative reality is a manifestation of absolute reality, an overlay on absolute reality, a physical snapshot of absolute reality spirituality is the journey from the relative to the absolute to get there turn from out to in and rest in the source which is another word for the absolute this replaces thought with awareness this kills the relative you and opens the absolute you -

here are ten quotes from Bernadette Roberts courtesy of chat-gpt "The idea of Jesus as a separate individual who is the savior of the world is a myth. The reality is that Jesus represents the universal human experience of awakening to our true nature." "To experience the reality of Jesus is to experience the reality of the self that is beyond the ego and the personal self." "Jesus is not an external figure that we need to worship or believe in. He is an expression of the universal consciousness that we all share." "The teachings of Jesus are not about dogma or doctrine. They are about awakening to the truth of our being." "The message of Jesus is not about salvation in the afterlife. It's about liberation from the illusion of separation in this life." "The Christ consciousness that Jesus embodied is not limited to him alone. It is available to all who are willing to undergo the transformation of consciousness." "The true meaning of the resurrection is not a physical event. It's the awakening of the self that is beyond death and the fear of death." "The essence of Jesus' teachings is to love your neighbor as yourself. This requires a radical shift in consciousness from self-centeredness to other-centeredness." "Jesus did not come to establish a new religion or to set himself up as a divine authority. He came to awaken humanity to the reality of their true nature." "The image of Jesus as a suffering servant who sacrifices himself for the salvation of humanity is a misinterpretation of his teachings. The real sacrifice is the surrender of the ego and the personal self to the reality of the true self." -

jesus had one mission, to teach how to become a christ, which he achieved post Calvary he showed how to walk the walk unfortunately the church claims he is god thus engaging in anthropomorphism suggest you read John Sprong or Bernadette Robert's The Real Christ -

for me there in only one not many, there is one perspective only, god knows my pain (since it has awareness of touching) and merely sees your pain -
how about defining reality equals existence plus non-existence where existence is all the parts of the universe mixed together in all ways seen up to now and non-existence is all parts of the universe mixed together in all remaining ways chat-gpt: While the idea of defining reality as "existence plus non-existence" is problematic, the elaboration you've provided does add some nuance and potential clarity. Your definition suggests that existence refers to all the parts of the universe mixed together in all ways that have been seen up to now. This could be interpreted to mean that existence encompasses all of the phenomena that have been imagined or experienced within the universe so far. Non-existence, on the other hand, is defined as all the parts of the universe mixed together in all remaining ways. This could be interpreted to mean that non-existence encompasses all of the potential phenomena that have not yet been imagined or experienced, or perhaps even those that are fundamentally unimaginable as of now. Overall, this definition suggests that reality is a dynamic and evolving concept that includes both the known and the unknown, the observed and the unobserved. While the inclusion of non-existence may still be problematic, this elaboration adds more specificity and nuance to the definition of reality. with reality defined thus, consciousness is all reality's interactions i have observed and unconsciousness is all reality's possible interactions i have not observed ... please comment on this definition chat-gpt The definition of consciousness as "all reality's interactions I have observed" and unconsciousness as "all reality's possible interactions I have not observed" fits well with the definition of reality as a combination of existence and non-existence, as you described in your previous message. This definition implies that consciousness is limited to an individual's subjective experience and perception of reality, and unconsciousness encompasses all phenomena and interactions that are beyond an individual's current awareness. However, it is important to recognize that the definition of unconsciousness as "all reality's possible interactions I have not observed" may be limited by an individual's capacity to perceive or understand certain phenomena. There may be interactions or phenomena that are currently beyond our understanding or perception, and it's possible that we may never be able to observe or comprehend them. Furthermore, the definition of consciousness as "all reality's interactions I have observed" also raises questions about the reliability and accuracy of individual perception. Our perception of reality may be influenced by various factors such as biases, limitations of the sensory system, and cognitive processes, which may affect our ability to accurately observe and understand interactions within reality. Overall, while this definition provides a useful framework for understanding the relationship between consciousness, unconsciousness, and reality, it is important to remain aware of its potential limitations and biases based on individual perception and understanding. some metaphysical musings

to my level of awakening, god crafted me as a window to illuminate the world and this is the sense in which reality is subjective, god sees the world from my perspective and no other, as a body-mind i am open to sight sound smell touch taste though but all god experiences is awareness of those from my perspective but not from any one else's existence is every way i can imagine the universe being assembled and non existence is the myriad ways it can be arranged beyond my imagination ... my mind is finite so it not capable of imagining all reality -
meditation is to trust and to put myself in existence's hands it moulds me into a more aware vessel capable of facing the day at hand with vim and verve and vivaciousness for me this partnership is what makes the difference between surviving and thriving i don't know the ins and outs of meditation, i get up and sit down and let existence have its way if i meditate it's already a good day no matter what happens

yes you can make it go where you want to go if you're smart ... but i find it gives back the level of consciousness and ingenuity that you put in ... and basically it helps you make more sense concerning you so you don't need to waste people's time with nonsense ... until you have some gems that is -
it's about knowing yourself knowing your limits; if you have an hour of fuel in the tank and you try to work two hours, you will be miserable so you have to know on a given day your potential output following through with this self knowledge is discipline sometimes one overestimates one's fuel level and quits the tasks at hand this is okay since failure needs to be embedded into the program sometimes you work you're grouchy you quit, be gentle and kind and accepting on average follow through 6 days a week cut yourself some slack one day a week this is a healthy balance and forestalls the burnout of being too perfectionist if you give yourself a manageable comfortable program like this, you will find your limits increase for example if you're a runner you will be able to go faster and go further
