I think what you’re pointing to here contains deep truth, especially around not denying suffering or bypassing it. Where I’d like to gently nuance things is in how suffering is explained versus how it is experienced. It seems to me that suffering is not actually inherent to life itself, but to a life interpreted through the mental modes of continuity, preservation, and memory. A self-regulating organism clearly repairs damage and avoids destruction, but suffering is what arises when these functions are experienced as personal threat, loss, or meaning. Repair and avoidance can however occur WITHOUT anguish; anguish appears when past meanings are carried forward and reapplied. In that sense, suffering is less a driver of life and more a by-product of remembered meaning being reused. On the physical / mental distinction: I agree with you that separating them too sharply doesn’t hold. Still, what seems crucial is not frequency but how meaning gets assigned. A sensation becomes suffering simply when it is interpreted as proof of danger, failure, or impermanence. The same sensation, without that interpretive overlay, might be intense without any being psychologically binding. So suffering isn’t in fact the energy itself but rather it’s the conclusion drawn from it. Regarding ego-mind: I fully agree that it’s not helpful to simply dismiss it as “not real.” It clearly functions. But function doesn’t mean final truth. An interface can be useful without being authoritative. The difficulty comes when the interface is taken as a reporter of reality rather than a translator with limits. When that happens, continuity, identity, and survival narratives harden, in which case suffering follows naturally. I also fully resonate with what you say about misalignment. Where I might phrase it differently is this: suffering doesn’t indicate a broken structure so much as a fixed one. It’s not that something is wrong, but that meaning has stopped being fluid. When interpretation is allowed to loosen, even briefly, suffering often reduces without denial, suppression, or transcendence. As for “opening to the absolute”: I will just add that this opening doesn’t always arrive as a dramatic recognition of totality. Often it shows up more quietly, as the absence of insistence, the release of certainty, or the willingness to not reuse old conclusions. Fear of death tends to soften not because one knows something new, but because the need to conclude anything at all relaxes. So perhaps suffering isn’t best understood as a necessary engine of life, nor as an illusion to be dismissed, but as a signal that meaning has become frozen. When meaning is allowed to renew itself in the present, suffering naturally diminishes, not because reality is denied, but because it is no longer filtered exclusively through memory. That reframing, at least for me, preserves the seriousness of suffering while also pointing to a way it can genuinely ease without bypassing, denial, or metaphysical claims that need defending.

This is partially correct. The statement is saying you are nothing but a thought. This is true. But that's just the person who looks back at you from the mirror. You are also the supreme reality which has thought you and the universe into existence. So Rene Descartes only-half-smart. He just looked in the mirror and not into the void.

Math is logically true, not experientially true. We do not experience mathematics itself, only the thought of it appearing coherent. When we say we “directly experience” that 1+1=2, what we are actually experiencing is a sense of mental obviousness. That same experience persists even when the conclusion fails. For example, in absolute reality one plus one remains one, or in the world when one clone is added to another identical clone and result is still only one clone, not two. This shows that direct experience does not always validate interpretations; it only confirms presence. Confusion arises when coherence of thought is mistaken for revelation of truth.

Step 1 is to find someone who values truth to the extent you do. Relationships are spirituality's classroom. They're tools to keep you here or wake you up. A Course in Miracles says to heal one relationship heals all relationships since only you need healing and your mind is the only one. You just need to fix your eyesight. God is the only reality out there and in here.

Growth is who you're around. If you hang around a Jesus you grow. You are the sum of the 5 people you hang around with. Choose your mates and medias well. If you're a Jesus you can't help but help. The vibration infects all. People feel it by climbing a tree and spotting you approaching a mile off. You already know peace but your ego sneakily redefined it as comfort. You already know peace because you are peace. A Jesus will always help. He's still around.

Yes. what is being communicated is that you can only love the other to the extent you have found love for yourself. The world's love is the opposite of this. So I need to find my own wholeness, innocence and joy first. I will love this. Then I can start looking for it in the other. To see it in the other is confirmation I found it in myself. Loving is the litmus test I have completed my inner work. If I can't love somebody, I need to go back to the mat and sink deeper. My work isn't done. Ultimately all I will see is love, inner and outer.

Yes the Godhead which to me is the Absolute Infinitely Expanding Enjoying Terrain Chance Adventure ... and sometimes producing what at first looks like tawdry pitiful imperfection ... but is always flawless beguiling majestic ...

Here is the thing. We think we live separately from God - every look in the mirror confirms this assumption. The journey then is man->Christ->God. Christ is what breaks down the idea we are separate from God and enables us to live out of that truth. It is how we come to unitive consciousness and then to no-self and then to fullness in God. Christ is the marketplace stage of Robert's path where we live fully carrying out God's work. I am God is nonsense in egoic consciousness which is where all think they are. God cannot know a two-ness universe since two-ness is an impossibility we made up out of thin air. God doesn't mind we did this but knows there is a better reality where suffering is not the case and so God has Christ be the vehicle for the apparent journey back to oneness.

I'd say Christ is the activity of God that creates finite universes like this one. God knows nothing about here. Since just like the finite cannot know the infinite so too the infinite cannot know the finite. It God knew here, here would be eternal. God outsources this project to the apple of his eye, his Son the Christ.

She is good. Here is her 13 step path. Read from bottom to top.

The stages of awakening are as follows. First know peace. Then extend peace. Next see peace. Finally be peace. In that process, a someone who is not you might very well choose peace too. That's the best you can do and hope for. Words are obstacles and don't help a bit. All this is in the mind only. Don't leave home without it.

When I inflict evil on you, it is always the best choice available in the circumstances, I could do worse I could do better. You would do identical in my shoes. Actually you are in my shoes. You are doing this to teach what you need. Evil is your highest good. You engineered it how you needed it when you needed it. Cancer is the greatest opportunity for enlightenment you ever received. Now only one thing counts.

God allows bad shit. God doesn't endorse bad shit. You need bad shit, to see it and do it, to see it's not worth shit. Only then will you shape up and ship out.

I need suffering and before it gets too late. Until then thanks but no thanks, am fine with TikTok.

Yes straight back and staying alert is what matters. Also don't clock watch. Just set the timer and when time thoughts arise, say to yourself, this is my time to be happy. And go back to the stillness again.

I can def get on my knees for a Jesus and go to church and elsewhere and testify. He showed me I'm a Christ just like him and I don't need no nails to prove it. He did it already - God love him - and proved a body ain't shit. Thank you Jesus. You showed me I'm all God all the time. Thanks man above all men. You my Lord and you're my Friend, still in mind leading me and helping me, never leaving or forsaking, with me til the end,

Invented maths is possible. That will model a different universe to this one. Maths just discovers whatever works here. Nothing more, nothing less. I can make different universes if I choose.

Sell only what you yourself are namely only goods and services you have purchased and you can uniquely and powerfully vouch for. In short I owe this product what stands before you today. All selling is selling who one is.

stillness and skipping are my go2's

All shortcut seeking is scarcity mindset. The better question is what hard stuff am I willing to do every day for the rest of my life. My non-negotiables are an hour of sitting and an hour of sweating.

Step 1 is stability. Do the same 24 hours for a year, sleep work god play. Don't deviate, don't conform. This makes you unshakeable and unstoppable and your destiny is now in your hands. Then you can let the world in a bit if you want - on your terms. You are by then a self made man.
