I honestly think you can be loving but not feeling it at all yourself (some close people often says that of me, and I feel nothing at all), which explains why he doesn't talk about it at all. I highly doubt you can be "god realized" and not talking about it at all. That's only speculation from my pov of course.

It's clear that if you read the Book of Not Knowing, that Ralston is only self-realized. There is not even one single paragraph were you can feel God's love in it. It's super dry

I keep rembering that true love will never come out by taking the easy way ?

It's not love it's attachment. Google the difference ?

If you had a glimpse of your true nature You will have this in your mind until you merge with it ?

No one is looking for me ?

You will never find me

The weird moment when you look at your body and it's not your body. The weird moment when everything you look at feels empty. The weird moment when everything you feel seems like inside you, but also outside. Never took a psychedelic, so yeah definitely possible. Just take more curiosity and genuine inquiry.

Are you a robot ?

You could say the same thing about your dreams. Yet you still get slapped in it either you want it or not.

You have no idea what you're talking about

And be miserable and suffer immensely. Why do you think he needs to be the way he is if he was happy ? He's not ...

I love you too Mikael

Of course you agree That's your excuse too

When you see someone you know going through the "HOLY SHIT I WAS SOOO SELFISH ALL MY LIFE"

Then suffer. Maybe you'll be tired of it at some point and will stop lying to yourself. Or maybe you won't and will deeply be unsatisfied on your death bed and wish really bad you'd listen 60 years ago. Up to you ? You chose your own life, not anybody else ?

The "good life" and the "attractive" wife, like Natasha says, doesn't equal happiness. The "good life" and the "attractive" wife are just conditions that you think will make you happy, that your culture tells you that it will make you happy, that your parents and friends told you it will make you happy. If you look closely enough, none of those people are happy, they constantly needs more. You're confusing "having stuff" with being happy. You don't need anything to be happy, that's why so many people are unhappy. The only reason you're unhappy, is because you think you need something first to be happy. Now obviously you can use this as an excuse to not put your life in order and not get your basic needs met, which of course makes it really hard to be happy since it will constantly make you think you need those things to be happy. But if you do get your basic needs met, and are wise enough to see they don't really change anything (and of course you can't bypass that, this isn't intellectual) there is no need for more, you can go straight to enlightenment. The catch is that you're so smart that you will always create new needs, that aren't really needs but illusions that you chase in order to stay in this game of perpetual seeking. You do it because if you didn't, you would conceptually die, cause you'll be forced to self reflect. You don't want to do that of course, and since you don't, you continually chase things that will never make you happy Because you're already happy but refuse to be by adding more reasons why you aren't in your list. Throw the list and just be happy with us

Yes of course it is. You let lots of shit in, and made all a part of your identity. Now the only way to let it all out is to feel pain, deep deep pain. Are you gonna do that or are you gonna let yourself put more shit in you ? This is like having an arrow in your leg You can do nothing and try not to think of the pain. Or you can pull it out, but of course, it will feel way more painful than just letting it in. You can chose to let it stay in you forever, and bit by bit killing you Or you can decide that's enough and that you will face the pain for a few moments. This is the only way you'll ever be happy There is no shortcut to an amazing live

Don't be afraid to look inside yourself. See that all those ideas of yours are just beliefs that you keep telling yourself in order to be right. You need to be right, because otherwise, as soon as you stop you would have to realize it's just lies you keep parroting in your head. This hurts because you believe so much in those thoughts, that they are a part of you, that they are you, at least that's how it looks like from your limited point of view. Letting them go feels like dying, and the natural way to cope with this for most people is to never look at it and be totally blind to it. This only works on the short term, on the long term, anyone who does this will become highly neurotic and deeply unfulfilled with life. So you can continue to complain, to blame others/yourself, trying to be perfect, fearing any kind of emotional investment, fearing to be trapped etc The point is, if you continue to do this, you're basically hurting yourself (and others), how fucked up is that ? Is it worth it to feel righteous/in control if you're miserable and fearful ? Is it worth it to live a life in which you turn your back to everything you truly want, just because you're scared ? Or wouldn't it be wiser to face all your internal shit and get everything you ever wanted and more ? You can do it if you really want to. Do you ? ?

I'm starting to wonder if we are retarded
