Ohhh.. burn. I like you. I like you a lot. Better watch out or you might end up like my pet toad.

I loved Jesus so much I killed him. Opps. Kinda like the pet toad I tried to keep when I was four. Hugged him just a little too hard.

Allergies are an autoimmune response, in other words attacking yourSelf.

An idea of oneness is NOT oneness, so can you see the potential value in a contradiction to the idea of oneness?

No because the man, manifest is an act. You are the whole, the entirety, you are not. So you are attracted to opposites in a desire for wholeness. Confirmation bias assumes that there is an objective true way to see and think of things. There isn't. This is a horrifying realization for a few seconds and then actually felt as the deepest most fulfilling freedom and relief.

It's only a law from a certain perspective. The thing is, you want to identify with that perspective because man is manifest. You're either conscious of (or aligned with) this want or desire or unconscious of it. We often want to resist that we are creation, creating.

I was raised conservative, as a kid I really wanted George Bush to win the election. Then became a passionate liberal in my early 20's. Now I realize that the timeline and circumstances of myself and my having those opinions are pretty meaningless, circumstantial and arbitrary, so it's hard not to love people for how they are. I also really make it a point to focus on what I want, and not what I don't want. If I talk to people and read enough stuff I still get really angry, but I know that that anger is just an indication to change my focus on what I do want. In other words it IS normal but is this what you want? Is this really how you want to feel about your friends? We can't change the world without first changing our perspective on it. That's true and that itself makes us want to change other people's perspective to a higher one. But we forget it's our perspective. Not theirs. So if we change our perspective on Trump supporters, and see them not as Trump supporters but what they really are, crazy unbelievable miracles can occur. Love always wins.

@Raptorsin7 You know the cliché rags to riches story everyone loves so much? The whole purpose of improvement is to grow, transform, become and have the pleasure of incrementally doing so. You absolutely fascinate me because while almost everyone here' story follows this rags to riches theme, this is NOT your story, at least outwardly. You were born with privilege. Your actual rags to riches story is the realization that that story doesn't mean shit. I mean, really, it's so overdone, everyone is bored with it. What exactly IS your story? How do you want to tell it? Are you still searching for the kind of success you were born with? It'll never fulfill you because you already have it. What DO you want to experience? I've had two women mentors who had a HUGE impact on my life when I was a kid. Both were born to rich privileged families and gave that way of living up and moved to the middle of nowhere where the people are poor and uneducated. They were here exploring an aspect of living and giving entirely different from most people's American dream, because to them that was old hat, their parents already achieved it. When my parents couldn't give me the tools I needed to dream a better life for myself, they did. Throw away your ideas of success, the ideas of success other people have fed to you with a silver spoon in your mouth. Write your own.

Would you rather be happy or have Truth? Maybe there's actually no conflict? You believe that other's believe in nonsense. Maybe that belief is nonsense. Why is it frustrating? How does it effect you?

Practical self preservation is not a selflish act, it's selfless. I for one would feel horrible for the people who had to bury my stupid dead body and raise my kids. Living is selfless. There's already no self whether you live or die. Nothing you can do about it.

Penis envy is somewhat understandable, but hairy balls envy, not so much.

@arlin When I was a teenager I once laughed at a guy who was hitting on me as a knee jerk reaction because I didn't believe someone would actually hit on me and felt awkward. His friend punched him like he was a loser and I realized what I had done too late. I still feel awful about it. You really never know what anyone else is thinking. Even if they are clearly being mean, it's driven by insecurity.

I've been running around like chicken with its head cut off and just found an actual dead chicken with its head cut off in the place I go swimming. So I asked a lady with the name Riddle and she said she put it there. For real. Creepy AF. LOA, signs from the universe from yourself to yourself, Apophenia, it's all the same!

What a powerful incentive to self-actualize and realize your full potential, your hairy balls will be discussed in depth by groups of highly conscious people.

@Someone here Well, marketing is all about making what you do sound more interesting than it is.

@Someone here I make money doing what I love. It's just selling love, buying love, selling love, buying, nothing is actually lost or gained.

@Someone here Do you see the distinction between "my or your idea of homeless people in general" and an actual individual homeless person I interact with?

@Someone here Do you realize how incredibly disrespectful of someone's individual incredibly unique story it is to lump them in a group and project suffering on them? If you want to help homeless or hungry people, make that your life mission.

Who knows? Are you homeless and dying of hunger? If you're so interested, go out and interview one. I'm not gonna assume or speak for anyone else, all I know is my own experience. Here I'll share. My house is messy as fuck and I have a shit ton of work to do and I'm wondering why I can't attract cleaning fairies to help while I'm procrastinating and typing smart ass replies on an internet forum. But that's my conscious choice, so. Ah, sheer freedom.

It's just a story. The documentary brilliantly tells it for the purpose of entertainment. It was a reaction of personalities and circumstances with that conservative town in Oregon, but ultimately as impersonal and random as the formation of the universe itself. Both the town, the US government officials, Osho and Sheela and the people the community attracted were all trying to heal themselves, mutually attracting and reacting into the characters they played at the time of it, among all those crazy circumstances. The problem with spiritual communities is that they often start with the assumption that there are spiritual people and not spiritual people.

Ok, try to eat money, sleep with money, and build a shelter with it. I mean, you could try to do those things with a pile of 100 dollar bills, but all those are are just representations of the money anyway. You want money cause you want freedom to spend it on things you think will make you feel complete, loved, exhilarated, free and secure. And you can feel that way right now. With money or without it.

@Someone here Nobody wants money, actually.

@Mikael89 Not everyone has access to clean water. If you were living in those conditions and then had the ability to do that you'd be on cloud 9. Hedonic adaptation. Hack it.

Kinda like one of Peter Ralston's recent videos, Newton's realization wasn't that the apple fell down, it was that the apple didn't fall up. Sometimes it's not about getting what you want, it's realizing that you want what you already have and then you get what you want anyway, but it couldn't really have added to the perfection of what you already had. Goddamn it! God is perfect all encompassing love, that little fucker. He doesn't even care if I talk bad about him, cause he doesn't really exist.

Well, then if you want you can play the part of the person in the audience judging it and throwing rotten tomatoes. Win, win.
