The one trying to create bliss is always amiss.

Whipping yourself can only go so far. I find that I’m able to discipline myself when I begin by first learning to trust myself.

@Moksha It’s becoming obvious that my habitual need to control, maintain, or flaunt special powers/experiences always leads back to self-destructive cycles. The more I allow myself to let go of those desires, the less fear and judgement exists. Life unfolds infinitely wiser than what the imagined person could ever conjure into existence.

I’ve been learning to trust my own direct experience more, rather than going off of what’s to be expected. Even my own doctor is surprised with how cannabis affects me differently than what he’s studied in the literature.

It sounds to me like you have a partner who is exceptionally mature and is open to you feeding immature behaviors. It’s not because she wants you to be lost forever, but because she wants you to figure out for yourself what is right.

Rocky Balboa is a great example of self-actualization and spirituality ??

Yes, be open to alternative perspectives. This requires being less selfish, which the ego perceives as death, yet it’s actually LOVE!

For me, at the proper dose, it makes dreaming more lucid. I’m less bound by rules; it’s like dreaming and being awake simultaneously.

A genius is in tune with how all perspectives interconnect seamlessly

Nice, I haven’t seen someone use the poll feature on this forum in forever! With that said, I chose the last three options. For the other part, articulating my thoughts and feelings to my significant other has been monumental in my development. Love will challenge you and push you past your comfort zone

@Dazgwny Nice one. Everyone else rests in the absolute.

Absolutely. Becoming your own teacher is ideal, in your own time of course.

The teacher and the student are different and identical

No! Don’t know. BE. Be more willing to not control anything. This is important. Control, in this context, is an illusion and always self-defeating. When you open your eyes to self, you’ll see that everything is working perfectly together; without any involvement from a controller. Reduce your desires to create false ideas about how reality should be. Direct experience is key.

@Javfly33 Amen brotha!

Stage Carl. I don’t know, I’m just making shit up!

What first?

I Kant vibe with that

Now that’s funny

Don’t reject the dream, and you will begin to discover its beauty.

You are imagining two different beings. Same difference’ You are very illogical because you are logical.

You need to be gentle with yourself and stop resisting your experience. Seriously! It’s all love my dude. You believe something is out to get you, but who is the you that they’re going to get? The more in touch you are with your authentic self, the less suffering you’ll have. 100% guaranteed or your money back

My girlfriend just forgave me since I treated her like an asshole earlier. This feeling of love is greater than any fap you can imagine.

It’s simply because you are not used to it yet. Don’t take it personally. You learn to fly by falling many times.
