@jerrypua Compassion. Make no mistake. Unfortunately, our society is filled with insecure fools who are scared of their own lives. You are dealing with immature people who hadn't had the chance to have a serious breakdown yet. It's a matter of time. Look at them in the eyes and stare at their souls. Watch how they struggle to have the bare minimum satisfaction in their lives. They depend on feeling greater than people around them and this is a formula for endless suffering.

It's not about having sex or not. It's about being able to feel content even without it. When I didn't have any spiritual discipline whatsoever, I felt anxious, inferior and victimized when I didn't have sex. Try not to create imaginary hypotheses. Instead, face your life as you feel it NOW. Do you feel happy about how you deal with sex?

@No-Thing Eating is dangerous because some people choke and die. Nobody should eat anymore. Also, knives should be prohibited because lots of murderers use them to kill their victims. Where is the blidspot?

Not in my experience.

God, Allah, Reality, Universe, Buddha Nature, True Nature, Nothingness, Love, Truth etc. It has many names.

@Farnaby The difference between Truth and solipsism is that solipsists still believe in an intrinsic self: their own. And label it as the only valid self. But Truth is about realizing that everyone and everything are manifestations of the same "thing". Solipsism entails separation and Truth entails Union.

@Natasha Suffering from death of beloved ones is very different from unconscious sufferings that we "treat" with spiritual practice and teachings. I'm sorry, but you're better off feeling all the pain you have to feel right now instead of trying to go numb, run or avoid by any means.

@Marks199 Lost in translation. The video title means something like "Awareness is enough". It's not about loneliness. Still, I once read in a Buddhist book the following words: "Alone in the woods, a man can solve any of his problems".

@Chumbimba Hi. You need to get out ASAP and live your own life. Your mother is just another human being, born from a father and a mother and who is going to die someday. Same for you. If your mother cannot get her shit together, that's too bad for her. It doesn't mean that your life has to be miserable. Your mother has the characteristics of someone who's really good at emotional manipulation and she's been doing that to you, sometimes consciously and sometimes unconsciously. Become aware of that and do not fall for the same guilt trap BS. You are a human being, you are alive and you have the right to have an amazing life. Feel free to PM me if you want to talk about something that you don't want to share here. I can also help you plan your way out.

Please avoid bumping duplicated threads.

@Lubomir Grow greater than an intimate relationship. You're more than your sexual urges.

A "devil" is a manifestation of GOD that's not aware of its own nature and believes that it's something else other than Pure Love. It doesn't have anything to do with death. In fact, the end of devilry is experienced by LIVING beings. Nobody needs to die except for your idea about yourself. Death of a way of thinking, you could say. But please stop spreading this nonsense about the need of death for Enlightenment. It's beyond nonsense... it's dangerously misleading.

Hatha Yoga and Zazen.

@traveler Amazing. Thank you!

Amazing video. This thread is duplicated, though. Here's a link to the first one.

@SQAAD Short answer: yes. But it has a price. It demands an utterly rigorous spiritual discipline.

Second option was never an option for me. Not even when I was a kid. It feels like I was born skeptical.

@undeather That was insanely beautiful. Thank you very much.

What if you have no idea what you're talking abut? Why are these letters that you're reading right now even popping into existence?

@Billy Shears There's nothing wrong with it. In my case, I got tired of suffering. It had nothing to do with what others thought about me.

@ROOBIO Letting go, literally. I donated/threw away a lot of stuff (some of them were very expensive). I detailed a few aspects of the process here. Feel free to ask me anything you want. My life is an open book.

@ROOBIO I have. It's worth it.

I can't tell you what you should do. It doesn't work like that. But if I were on your shoes, as I was a few years ago, I'd dive in some form of artistic expression to get in touch with my feelings. Poetry worked like a charm for me.

"I" will escape "Reality" is still illusory. If you're still thinking about coming in or coming out, you haven't understood it yet.

@ValiantSalvatore You can find tests in your own life. What do you feel you can offer to the world? What are your deepest desires? What is your Vision?
