@TheAvatarState It really is. What I love about this place is how there are so many brilliant people here who can really deepen my understanding of my own insights.

The funniest part of this entire video is when I say my head is empty space and I miss the joke myself.

My entire bedroom is shaped like a pyramid. I just realized that. Pretty sure there's just some mice at the top in the attic though.

Oh shit.

@pluto

@Nahm Or pure potential.

Your daily serving of 80's music a la my 15 year old self.

Hone your inner voice and intuition and follow it wherever it leads you. Your life is not your own and when you follow a path that is not your own you will be fulfilled.

@Nahm Wow. It is shocking to wake up to again and again. My son told me that I have one eye that sees invisible things and one that sees normally. That's my favorite so far. I just told him thank you, and that that was a beautiful thing to say. I'm on day three of them both home sick so this is trial by fire.

@zambize You're fucking kidding me, I've been listening to that song on repeat for the past few days. Good luck during your interview, I'll be thinking of you.

We all have moments of happiness and moments of suffering. Don't identify with one or the other, just accept the moment for what it brings without trying to label it good or bad. Being one with the moment diminishes suffering.

@pluto The soil is as connected with everything as the air. http://www.bbc.com/earth/story/20141111-plants-have-a-hidden-internet It's how plants communicate. How they are interconnected and one with each other and life. It's mind blowing.

I spent the past 10 years focusing on myself and ignoring him, then I realized he was actually an enlightened master the whole time with a few lapses now and then. I married him because he's my mirror, he's what I'm not and can never be. I just don't like what I see all the time. That's the hard part.

Oh ok. Yeah. I've been married almost 10 years and I'm still barely figuring that one out.

@Aakash Yes, all concepts and beliefs look like solid ground but are actually quicksand. That's really funny because my friend just told me a story about when he went mudding and he drove his car over what looked like solid ground and it was actually a leach field for a sewer that had dried on top. They had to spent the entire night immersed in shit getting the car unstuck. It's a pretty good analogy really. Do you mean to say that your choice to marry isn't actually a choice? You have different customs and expectations than we do here in the US I assume?

@Aakash I think I brought it out into the light and awareness but I'm working on dealing with it now. The thing about beliefs is that they have long tentacles that reach into and affect all areas of your life and then you have to untangle the whole mess.

@zambize God speaks to me sometimes, and he told me to send you this. Make sure you listen all the way through. I'll be watching.

I'd love to meet him someday.

That was my most recent realization. I had a belief that I needed to avoid close or special relationships and it was keeping me from growing and being open. It had a lot to do with my childhood and judging my sister as a whore for opening up to men and having so many male friends. Relationships do hurt though, even with the best intentions. We want to protect ourselves from that hurt, but in spirituality, all hurt is growth.

@Michael569 Macadamia nut oil is supposed to be a good one for up to 400 degrees, it's got a lot of saturated fat.

I'll put you to work if you want. I've been told many times that I make a good slave driver.

People shouldn't have special relationships with particular people because they are egoic relationships. Spiritual people don't do much of anything. Spiritual people aren't tied to a certain place or thing. Spiritual people can't want things.

@Salvijus That's the push I needed to really start listening to Sadhguru, thank you.
