Reading again the Untethered soul and looking at my personal experience of life, I'm making the connections between my childhood experience of life and unconditional love. If you can remember, when you were a child, you never were angry towards anything (not for more than a few seconds) you never were bored, and were always joyful and loving towards everyone, even people you didn't really like that much. It wasn't the kind of love that we experience between intimate partner right now, it was more intimate and more existential than that. I'm talking about when you were 2/3/4 years old, before we start having our first traumas and start to close our hearts. If you trace back your memories and genuinely wonder what you are and what love really is, you will have the genuine intuition that it is how life is actually experienced in its natural, unveiled way. Do you remember how time was always now, like always always now, no thoughts about tomorrow/yesterday or whatever other moment. There was this pure nowness, and you were able to perceive the world in such a way that everything was interesting and beautiful to watch. You didn't know what 99,99% of the things you were seeing was, and you didn't care to know. A deep intimate connection to everything you were interacting was there too, everything was loved and appreciated for what it was. You didn't want something in particular, you were just experiencing whatever was at the moment without any resistance, whether it was sad or not, painful or not. Life was magical, yet totally natural and simple.

Copy cat ?

Is that true or are you trolling ?

Pounds are a concept, you never experienced «pounds» in your entire life.

If you don't want truth you can't be truly happy, because happiness is what you are essentially. So unless you discover and embody the truth, you'll never be happy for long, because your happiness will always stays dependable of external situations.

I can't know that sure, that's an assumption. Still, it doesn't change the point of the post ☺

Just be aware of your sexist thoughts. Don't judge them and don't push them away. In time that will dissolve those beliefs.

They don't have the mental ability to be conscious of being conscious. In a sense they are enlightened, but not to the level as we human can.

My father made a really interesting comment out of this negativity today. Every living beings on this planet, and everything else that exist has a purpose, a position on the food chain or to sustain life in some ways. Except us. We aren't useful for anything on this planet. Except for two things. One is accepted and acknowledged by society : Creativity It is only accepted if it can make money though, otherwise it is seen as useless (at least for most people) The second thing is what I couldn't talk about to my father. Obviously if you're on this forum you know what that is: Becoming aware of your true nature No other beings on this planet can do it, cause none other can self-reflect as much as us. This is actually not a luxury, a special thing reserved to a few of us, It is what we are destined to do. One way or another it has to be done, Either we climb up the spiral and realize we are all friends, Or we continue to think we are separate and destroy each other.

Just face them/it It will be painful for a while Then it will all go away Definitely …

Comtemplation is being genuinely interesting to truly understand something. You do this by asking a question, and just wait for an insight. You don't think about the answer, you wait for it to be uploaded to your mind so to speak. That require great focus and true interest in the question asked. Armcjair philosophy is thinking, letting yourself think your mind can come up with an answer, so you think think and think by making lots of mental connections about what could be the answer. That can work sometimes, but not for metaphysical questions, or if the question is really really deep.

It's just god reffering at himself without knowing it. Nothing mysterious about it. Life is just a beautiful ode to the absolute ?
