meditation is true self love where one cherishes cultivates contemplates champions one's beautiful magnificent divine essence note that mind has no interest in meditation in fact it brings stiff and unwavering resistance, meditation is its death warrant after all

the sickness of the mind is dividing the world into yummy and yucky it is impossible for something yummy to make you happy The Great Way is not difficult for those who have no preferences. When love and hate are both absent everything becomes clear and undisguised. Make the smallest distinction, however, and heaven and earth are set infinitely apart. Hsin Hsin Ming, Seng Ts'an

understand that you do need ego to live here so you have to learn when ego is appropriate behaviour knowing your personality and behaving accordingly is ego, you do this for your own sanity don't bash your ego or make enemy of it else the backlash is far worse

any time you want things to stay the same, that's the ego also if someone asks you a question and you give them the same answer you gave someone else, that's the ego so a good exercise is to say, what was different today and did i help it to be different or did i resist it habits can be helpful but also unhelpful, do the same things but do them in different ways, ego wants to do things with eyes tightly shut

this is a very good book https://www.amazon.co.uk/Mathematics-Nonmathematician-Morris-Kline/dp/0486248232

one person if not both of them needs to be mature assertive practical dispassionate and say to the other even after sleeping with them, these are my rules of engagement, i would appreciate any that you have

rookie error was you thought his standards would be the same as yours, next time set your stall at the beginning, live and learn

every person has a different definition of cheating it is a highly unhelpful word due to its ambiguous and hysterical connotations at the start of relationship write down that which you accept that which you don't accept and the consequences of breaches and have the other do the same

the other good one that is a stumbling block is victim all of us bring out the victim card at some time or other, why is the world forever bating me hounding me persecuting me some who know not better attach to this mentality for their whole life the opposite archetype is perpetrator ... which is often used as a judgemental label by those who profess to be the victim osho mentions you will be a victim in this life as karmic consequence of being a victor (perpetrator) in previous life, you are paying for your past sinful cruelty ... of course if you see this message you can terminate the insanity right now

alas what they do is they seize the credit for the high level of engagement, this is an example of my fine work ... and therapists don't like to lose their finest creations and will do all they can to keep them ... they love being god in other words

therapy is paying someone to converse with you and give you sensitive and informed feedback, and perhaps about very specialised matters if you're equally conscious it's just a normal conversation as with a friend if you're more conscious, the therapist will benefit but it is you who are seeking the conversation not them

i found all the titles beginning with p (which cement in place one's conditioning) also need transcending parent preacher/priest politician psychologist professor pundit etc. if you are these ... all these help keep you stuck

well done, super list all these have to indeed be transcended your posts are super informative, thanks for everything you share here

mind is, the world is out there and i am seeing it rather than the world is 2d movie set perched on my retina, my ear drum etc. which awareness handles not a mind (and awareness is precisely the world you perceive before mind gets its claws into it)

all superiority is your inferiority complex rearing its head

why do you want people under your thumb? because you feel superior and so you deserve to control them

God is not in heaven - God is in the present moment. If you are also in the present moment you enter the temple. ~Osho

did you even browse if not read one of his over 200 books though ... imagine if you didn't know a thing about him but you dug into one of his extraordinary gifts to the planet https://oshosearch.net/Convert/Articles_Osho/Chapters_Osho.html then tell me if you find a wrong sentence

yea suffering has the aim, to make you get so sick and tired of it that you lean in to learn the lesson it is designed to teach you learning is looking at yourself (sensations) and within yourself (meditation)

glad to hear that, i do go overboard a bit with the inscrutable one liners

hope you're okay and i didn't hit a nerve ... i thank you for your presence here ?

“Ānāpānassati, bhikkhave, bhāvitā bahulīkatā cattāro satipaṭṭhāne paripūreti. Cattāro satipaṭṭhānā bhāvitā bahulīkatā satta bojjhaṅge paripūrenti.

If mindfulness of respiration is cultivated and made much of, the four foundations of mindfulness are fulfilled and perfected. If the four foundations of mindfulness are cultivated and made much of, the seven factors of enlightenment (bojjhaṅga) are fulfilled and perfected. If the seven factors of enlightenment are cultivated and made much of, knowledge (vijjā) and liberation (vimutti) are fulfilled and perfected.” https://buddho.org/anapana-dipani-manual-of-meditation-on-breathing/

leo doesn't say i am you but you are me, you can know one dream and that's your dream not leo's dream, consciousness does one task at a time, it is unable to multi-task, and thus all else is idle speculation

you fashioned this so you fix it we're all but your long lost limbs
