yes. it is THAT good. but you cannot just read it. you have to practice what he says with all your spiritual effort.

@Ryan_047 you need to find grace inside of you. apply for yoga classes. try biodance. do something to teach you ways to love yourself. dive into your body and let yourself cry until all the pain have been dried out.

@Ry4n try yogic pranayamas. search for "kapalabhati" and "sat kriya".

@SaynotoKlaus playing journey on a PS3 zazen and hatha yoga (yes, they are hobbies to me) contemplating stillness contemplating sea waves walking and breathing organizing the place where i live tantric sex watching series like The OA and Westworld poetry and music attaining a compassionate perspective about people

no, i mean white sugar. i don't know how popular it is where you live but it's extremely popular in brazil.

it has been said.

@Beau you will suffer greatly if you keep on craving for a lover. spiritual liberation comes from realizing your own completeness by stopping seeing people as means to satisfy your needs. from this place of contentment with a steady mind, it's easier to find a healthy partner, since you yourself are healthier.

@Noah hello! i've been there. this was my solution: i started practicing yoga with good teachers that taught asanas and pranayamas i started meditating every monday in a zen sangha and i implemented the meditative mental attitude throughout the day these practices filled me with contentment and wisdom.

@ElenaO try removing lactose and sugar from your diet for 2 weeks and see what happens. those 2 are inflammatory substances for our body.

@Dan Arnautu mastering profession is just one area of domain. does he eat healthy? exercise properly? feel connected to people around him? feel true peace of heart?

@barry what will your parents be able to do when you're about to die? have you ever thought about it? have you REALLY thought about it? someday you'll get really SICK and all this bullshit will make no sense. stop finding excuses and live your life. OR DIE FULL OF REGRET.

@jse don't be late

i wholeheartedly disagree. a marriage immersed in spiritual practices like meditation/yoga can work perfectly. i'm not speaking from a theoretical level. i'm speaking from my own lifestyle. the key is to live by the happiness that comes from inner peace. don't be carried away by egoist urges.

@Echoes space/time, reality, matter, spirit, consciousness, truth, god... these are ineffable concepts. there's nothing to do about them. train your mind to live in the present moment and be free from anxiety/remorse. that's all...

i never came to this place. i am this place.

welcome

@Sidi no. an intimate relationship, at its finest, is supposed to provide peace of mind. watch closely the feeling you have about this relationship. isn't it always that sort of anguish? are both of you desperate for egoic confirmations? do you run away from eye contact? are you running away from your insecurities? trace your own irresponsibility.

in a very practical way, it means becoming free of the optional suffering entailed by your own sins. it means finding true happiness, peace of mind, contentment.

@Loreena YOU are the real love in this world. there's no other way.

@john5170 just come back to your breathing. it's simple but hard. if your mind is agitated, just be mindful. say to yourself "right now, my mind is agitated and i'm aware of it". and observe it being agitated.

@john5170 it happens because you turn calmness into a goal. you need to practice with no goals.

@Loreena no. we still need to pay for our food.

@The Universe connect with people. find a zen sangha. find a group to practice yoga with. find people interested in healthy gastronomy. shake it.

that's contradictory. if you want to stop drinking then abandon your toxic friends. stop bulshitting yourself in the first place.

embrace the existence of ego AND the illusion of ego; duality AND non-duality; self love and compassion; or die either trying to become something else or trying to unbecome something without ever being able to appreciate life. all of it. stillness AND movement.
