That's a good one. Only in the absence of the "I Am" is there death.

At death you may vanish without a trace into non-existence. But the seed of awareness (offspring) that was left will continue on.

@Ziran Thanks man. That was very helpful. @cistanche_enjoyer *It would make for a good reference in the Mental Health sub forum. What do you say we put it there?

@cistanche_enjoyer Just wondering. Have you talked to him recently?

Maybe it can but you don't know what those conditions are. How do you know he doesn't have a chemical imbalance? Or that his brainwaves are messed up? It's like if your car is not running right but you're not a mechanic. Trying to fix it could do more harm than good.

The short answer is no! Why would you want to involve him with anything so esoteric as chakras or controlling flow of kundalini? You could end up doing way more harm than good. I suggest you don't try to fix anything and just be his old friend.

@Joshe Are you O.K.? Just doing a wellness check. If you ever need to talk, we're all ears.

Thanks man. Best wishes to you too. Just saying because you're talking about age difference. Between the ages of say 40 and 56 it's all pretty much all the same extension of your 20's and 30's. But once you start hitting 60 and beyond your whole perspective reverses now that you're closer to death than you are to your birth. You begin to look at your life from the top down instead of the bottom up. A time of reflection.

@Inliytened1@Joshe I'm in my second childhood and loving it. Older than dirt and just as smart.

I say it was because there was just too much truth being spoken for some to handle.

And a fine brandy.

@Natasha Tori Maru Good case in point. Totally her decision whether to continually wake up every morning facing a life full of struggle or not.

Here we are discussing armchair suicide when there are people buried under 20 slabs of concrete in Venezuela that will most likely never be saved.

@Joshe Stop playing games with truth. Read Everything Leo said in this post and let it speak for itself.

Sorry, but that's not true. What is true is you're teetering on getting a warning for being closed minded.

I totally agree.

Not sure what you mean by "adjusts". Please expand on that so I understand where you're coming from.

This statement is reckless and nowhere near what Leo is conveying. Stop confusing compassion and understanding for ignorance.

@Yimpa Well, why have a small collection of seashells hanging in a frame in your tiny room when you can expand yourself in all directions where your consciousness fills every nook and cranny of the universe. Then it's all you, all yours. But one must first let go of their sense of location before they can become omni-present. And that "omni-presents" extends well beyond just the physical realm. *In fact, it, "consciousness" is infinite.

Existence hangs in the nothingness by a thin thread suspended from the illusory scaffolding of the mind.

He's everything you see in the mirror.

Nooooo! It can't be! Or can it? She detested any talk of higher consciousness. She even told my and her family I was a member of a cult forum that does drugs and is brainwashed and doesn't live in reality. Is that me?

Then my ex got one over on me. I went as far as turning to religion for answers she was so bad. For instance, Romans 12:19. "Dearly beloved. Do not take vengeance unto your own but leave place for God's wrath" Lol

In birth years or death years?

@Someone here Thank you.
