why? When I live a sattivic life I feel sattivic and I begin to taste Heaven. God begins to visit me and I drown in bliss. When I live a life of sense pleasures I feel drained, tired, empty, with interspursing moments of pleasure. Its my choice - a God-dedicated life or sense-pleasure life. Everything has to be sattivic, from the way I dress to the way I speak, think, eat, what I watch, listen to, where I spend my time. Everything has to be sattivic, God-oriented, harmonious.

In terms of a sattvic, Brahmacharya, God-dedicated life, here’s my plan: Read scripture daily (got kindle today) no more tv shows and video games and porn some funny stuff or cat videos are ok, like 30mins a day. Get a cat (maybe, pray for Divinr Guidance for a yes or no) listen to music, sacral yoga helps dancing, walking helps sattvic food sattvic thoughts ———- Did this many times already. Helped my spiritual progress. Then fell back into sense pleasure lifestyle. Still addicted to the world. But suffering keeps opening my eyes to my wrong lifestyle of Godlesness. Synthetic joy does not satisfy. Not fulfilling my purpose, feeling empty. When I dedicate myself to God I feel profound sense of Purpose. Living out The Ultimate Destiny.

I can never tell people what to do for their spiritual development. I'm meeting a friend tomorrow, to whom I recommended about a year ago to do a two-week solo meditation retreat and then take psychedelics. Now, do I think that this could be helpful to him? Yes. Do I think that it's realistic? No. Will he do it? No. Is it a part of his destiny? Probably not. So you see, I don't really know what's best. Or even if that would be good or beneficial, it's not even possible for him. So I should never really suggest these big changes for people in their lives. I don't know. It's best to say just sit down in silence, try to feel things out. I have no idea what you have to do. I don't really have a clear idea of what I have to do. It feels like there is a destiny, there is a grace, you can follow that grace, that type of stuff. But I can never tell people what to do, like, what is their path, and so on. I can say what helped me, maybe give some general advice, but not a very specific thing to do or what their path is, and so on.

I guess Ananda Ma would say its ok to use internet for sattivic purposes, she generalizes the sattivic concept to everything we consume.
-
So Anandamayi Ma and Andrew Tate agree. Nice I mean not really, but Ananda Ma does advocate that the wisest way for society to function is for men and women to be celibate, learn spirituality and then embark in marriage if needed. But also.. that will never happen. This is not a place of perfection. But the wise ones do learn, through suffering, that hoes aint shit, everything here dissapoints, and the only salvation is to keep withdrawing from the world back into God.
-
As Jesus says, each thing you value here is a chain that binds you. An advanced teacher of God has no sense of sacrifice in letting go the pleasures of the world. Is it a sacrifice to let go of death and despair?
-
Ananda Ma also said that it's very important upon death what your state of mind is. She said that the habits that you have upon death will determine the next life that you will have. She said but do not be fooled thinking that you can live a life of sense pleasures and then upon death be meditative and avoid rebirth or have a good life. No, a man is a creature of habit. You have to dedicate yourself fully to God in this lifetime so that on death you are pure and you don't have to come back. As long as you have sense desires you will not escape death and rebirth.
-
Evening Reading Summary of Ananda Ma's Book A woman asked Ananda Ma why her husband died. Ananda Ma replied that he died because he was an obstacle to her enlightenment. God takes away everything that is an obstacle to your enlightenment. When you are suffering in life, he is also teaching you, like a bitter medicine, that you are doing something wrong, that you are engaged in sense pleasures and they are limiting your spiritual advancement. In terms of karma, Ananda Ma says that you always reap what you sow, but there is nothing above God, even karma is just a part of the illusion, so if you dedicate yourself to God fully, God can wipe away all of your karma.
-
I'm reading Ananda Ma's book and basically she says if you keep God's name in your mind, which means you're silent, you're connected to that place of peace inside, then that extinguishes bad karma. And as long as you are engaged with the world, you will have suffering. My experience shows that this is true. When I dedicate myself to God fully, I live a life of effortlessness. God arranges life so that I can spend all my days in meditation and I have to do very little work.
-
God is my only partner. In Her arms I am complete. She heals everything in me. I need nothing else. Her Presence is total perfection. Absolute Divinity. And She is Me.
-
haha so entertaining! I'd somewhat even agree, I'd just say don't try to change anything, don't be angry at the world. Just have fun with hoes and be careful not to get into a relationship with one. But if ur smart u wont, it's obvious when a girl is a hoe, you can see it in her face immediately. The face reveals so much. People are open books. Is it a good idea to only be open to a long-term relationship with a virgin? Probably not. Like Lisa Cairns wasn't before she got in a relationship with her current partner and rejecting her because she isn't would be foolish. Also, good luck finding one haha

Actually, not really true. In the past these songs attacted emotions and stories of my ex. I felt them deeeply and now it seems like those emotions and stories are mostly gone. I can just enjoy the beauty of the music.

Keeping up a consistent sleep schedule is so important. I feel so bad and I’m so useless when I haven’t slept well. Have to go to bed same time everyday. I’ll stop using pc/phone at around 23:00 and then meditate and hour before sleep or read scripture.
-
Gossip is bad. I rarely do it, but I vow to never do it again. Is strenghtens the ego, the anti-christ. Never speak about someone who is not here. And when someone is here, only speak little, especially with those who have no purity of soul. Let them not sway me to be like them, yappers. Overall just yapping is a sign of a fool. It’s all around me so those people get me to do it. But I won’t anymore, less I forget. to an advanced soul speaking about nothing is painful, it hurts the pure soul. Be silent.
-
Yet I still enjoy living out fantasy scenarios in my mind. I just dont feel guilty about that and know that in time these fantasies will lose their magnetism. Happened before during solo retreats.
-
It’s not just Silence. It’s that part of your mind where God is. And the realm of concepts is where the ego is. Concepts are used to understand this and then they are laid aside in favour of God.

Last day of my 2-week vacation.. me tomorrow morning: haha but not rly. So blessed.. i have to work so little amongst chill people, chill boss and make good money. No stress, everything is soo smooth. Love it.

This is a very good example of what not to become. She even has pics with ACIM on her Instagram.. Unfortunately sometimes I fall into this trap of spiritual materialism. It's probably easier to fall into believing that you can just hope and get money out of nowhere when you're a girl that shows of her naked body to men, they just shower you with gifts and then you believe you manifested that, although any gold diger can do that just because of pure mechanics of sexuality. If you devote yourself to God does he help you? sure, but just enough financially to support you in your transcendence of the world, not for you to be entangled in it more. This world holds nothing that I want. let go of pleasures and wealth. Be alone. Be silent. Awaken.

I have insights to write down everytime I go on a meditative walk. Thats good. Anyway.. The way I discern a true teacher between someone who just had a lot of experiences, but hasn't really embodied them, which si the whole point,a s the full embodiment is the full enlightenment, is how much peace they eminate. So Lisa and Ekhart are way above someone like Leo. Leo is all mind and experiences, 0 embodiment, or not 0, but so little. Frank Yang doesn't eminate deep peace as well. In terms of metapysics I see ACIM, Lisa, Ananda Ma, Ramana as top top. I also think you generally have a beautiful face when you have a pure mind, like Lisa and Ananda Ma. Ramana even as well. Not sure how Jesus looked but I bet he had a pure face. _______ The true "meat" of ascending to Heaven is how deeply are you engaged with the world and how silent are you? The less engagement, the more silence, the higher the level of awakening. Afer hearing Lisa's day to day life I know shes high. Leo is probably mostly doing pleasure stuff and spending time online, probably doesn't spend 4-8 hours daily in silence like Lisa. My efforts to go total commitment to God are admirable, they helped a lot and showed me that when I devote fully miracles happen. But I'm not ready for the full transcendence yet, learned that now it's better to go slow and gentle. WIll be letting go things, simplifying my life little by little. Will learn from Lisa, Ananda. I always knew intuitively that to get enlightened one needs to let it all go. Some egos will get sick when hearing this because they don't want to let go, but hey, what do I care how egos think. Of course they will be against letting go - that's the end of them haha. That's why JEsus spends to much time teaching "this world holds nothing that I want.," the teacher of God feels no sacrifice when letting go of pleasures of the world, each thing you value here is a chain that binds you, etc.. I felt this intuitively, but he puts it int concepts very well. Also, non-judgement doesn't happen in the mind. Non-judgement is a switch of identity from mind to SPirit. Keith Kavangh is right and Gary Renard is wrong.

Seems like Rumi was inlove with his friend the way I was in love with my girlfriend. He saw him as an expression of the Divine. The story Elif speaks about is so true. Others probably wouldn't be able to see my ex as the divine expression as she is as they weren't looking through my eyes. Rumi also says there's only 1 of these loves in a lifetime. He also said one in 38 years. I'm on the fence as well - it's either one a lifetime or two. Hope it's two, but might be one.
-
Read 40 rules of love the 40 rules and loved them. Rumi says every evil act comes back and even every gossip and judgement does and bites you as well. That's important I, I still judge daily. It's difficult not to when that person is literally that. Although is it bad to evaluate someone as what they are and just drop it? Gossiping is definitely a nono, but seeing someone as insane to protect yourself is fine perhaps? If you see them as divine and perfect and they do bad things to you then you don't have a psychological defense, you might think that it's about you, that you deserve it. But when you see that they are acting the way they are because of who they are, it's nothing to do with me, then that brings peace to my mind. Hm, I would say that just seeing them as what they are - an unconscious program of the world, without any Divinity inside, is good in this respect, it helps psychologically to know it's not me, not even a mirror, I am completely the opposite to that. Hm, would RUmi and JEsus disagree? I find it helpful to see people for what they are, helps me navigate better.
-
It's okay to be annoyed whilst being around insane people, that's just natural. When they leave I just think feel-good thoughts to change my brain chemistry back to positive feeling one and then I can drop those thoughts and just be in presence. It's much easier to be in Presence whilst feeling good first. Feeling bad and entering presence doesn't really change how I feel. First I need to change how I feel through thinking good thoughts and the enter presence.

Current POV: Life is a dream. God is Love Me and God are One. There's a helping hand in this dream that is leading me to awakening. Suffering generally shows that I am out of alignment with awakening path. If I act wisely, don't chase fame, girls, do stupid shit in general, and just work my office job, keep improving spiritually - all is well, God is taking care of me. Desires of the world - drop them gradually by seeing that they are hurting me. Also another motivation to drop is that the deeper the devotion to God the deeper the revalation. Don't struggle or fight against myself, that just makes guilt real and strengthens resistance, but do have an intention to let it all go and surrender to God fully and awaken. The practice for awakening is Silence. Judge not, but have good discernment. People here are psycho, be alone. Most if not all advanced spiritual people like to be alone, that's just wisdom. Chase not girls. Never found anyone good enough for me, except my ex, with which my relationship was pre-arranged. As mooji says, if ur looking for a princess u will kiss a lot of frogs. Food, exercise, health - just be mindful, doing fine now. Clothing - simple, comfy, still stylish is good. Simplicity is beautiful. Love linen. In terms of metaphysics - still ok to read a bit of ACIM, like those important exceprts, but I get it mostly. WIll read Ananda Ma's book now. Not much reading left to be done, mostly just practice. Thought about getting a cat - when I have one it helps me become more silent, so helps to awaken, kinda cool. Love cats in general too. Not gonna have a partner so at least got a cat, but on hold because of financial things. Travel - don't really care. Drugs - weed and microdosing shrooms is okay, like Lisa does, although for me it spirals out of control so I'm on a break now. Might do them later, I think they can help when I'm sick, especially weed can help with pain when got a cold or smthng. Not discussing metaphysics with anyone, most are retarded anyway, better to be alone and contemplate with books. Still gaming, listening to music, enjoying entertainment, but got an intention to reduce it throughout my lifetime to 0, so at the end of the lifetime I am totally with God. I know this is the way, tried it already, I have time. Just gently and slowly awaken. Dancing for exercise is good, no more basketball or volleyball because of the knee issue. No more gym because of that too. Just some pushups and pullups here and there, yoga and dancing to move the body. Massages when got cash. Career seems to be going chill and blessed because I am doing my responsibility quite well and it's a path arranged to aid in my awakening, I'm the blessed son of god so I am taken care of as long as I'm responsible and don't do anything drastic like leave job or family or whtvr. Did go crazy for a bit but also whtvr, that's life. When making big decisions best to follow feelings and intuition, silence.
