you're being confused by your imagination. let go of those stories and be truthful to you NOW. who are you NOW? what is reality NOW? if you're scared of letting go of old stories, you won't be able to go any further.

this is accurate. and on the other hand, mystical experiences show us that it can't be known. existence leaves us with no other option than to be completely amazed and humble.

you don't know what you are doing. why are you telling people that you meditate? why do you even meditate?

what does that mean?

@darind by not indulging in any form of violence

@AlphaAbundance you still think that you're an individual thing experiencing existence, but you are existence experiencing what it is like to live consciously. let's assume you are a thing... what is your exact mass? do you wait until your gut is empty to measure your weight? also, the amount of water in your body is variable. for how long do you have to go through thirst until you can measure your exact mass? what about the air in your lungs... do you need to have empty lungs in order to measure your exact mass? what about your nails and hair? what about your semen? what are you, even?

@DrewNows thank you very much! awesome video

this is your weakness. your fear of rejection might get you rejected in the end.

@clouffy accept it and then investigate the root cause of your feelings. get closer and closer to your suffering. pain is most likely necessary before liberation.

@Leo Gura when existence feels stable, like right now, awe arises. it's confusing because we like to think backwards. but any manifestation of existence in which it's possible to experience consciousness with glimpses of profound peace will feel marvelous. it is also marvelous a priori because stability is one possibility though.

HORRIBLE idea. they should just not buy milk or any dairy products for an entire week. that would be something.

@Ria i created a thread on this subject a while ago. here it is:

don't pay attention to his philosophical/social/political teachings. stick to his practical advice on how to make peace with your parents and organize your life. if you feel depressed, you need to build a solid ground and learn how to walk on it. too much abstraction will just drain more mental energy.

@pluto everything is vibrantly alive, in a sense that everything is pure potential to be anything. and i didn't need scientific experiments to see this, even though some authentic experiments (this and some of these, for instance) point to this fact and many scientists are already working on models to embrace this perspective. if you're talking about that fraudulent experiment with water, that's something else. those results are deliberate unethical lies.

@Aakash read this book 4 or 5 times. it will certainly cover the most meticulous details about the Practice. from my experience, reading one chapter of zen literature after every meditation session is GREAT.

you are this planet, alive, talking, walking, typing and reading. anyway, teal swan still has A LOT to let go. she just thinks she's an advanced practitioner. after a while, delusion becomes just too easy to spot. i hope she's doing alright.

there is no fundamental reason. you would deliberately choose to do so if you suffered due to a distracted mind and conflicted thought patterns. it's like drinking water when you're thirsty.

no way. life feels GREAT the word "delusion" means ignorance to me. and the word "ignorance", to me, means to suffer due to confusion or lack of knowledge. this is not nearly close to the way i experience Life.

not in my experience. for me, Life = Truth.

huge attachments, poor perspectives and denial of growth.

i see. that's probabily why you fail and suffer so much. the way you think about relationships is a little messed up. maybe because of the influence of your parents or your local culture. i've been married with my wife for almost 1 year, but we've been together for almost 3 years and the fire within us grows bigger and bigger everyday. we've been inspiring each other since the first day we met. nobody is submissive and compliant. i don't follow her and she doesn't follow me. we're both following a higher purpose. it has to be a completely balanced teamwork or someone will fall apart. emotions cannot be controlled. emotions are supposed to be felt in the bones. they are a consequence of your thought patterns, the words you speak and the way you act. if you don't like what you feel, you have to break free from your pride and start questioning everything you think you know. what if you're completely wrong about what it means to be a real man? i need more detailed information. what time do you wake up? what do you do? what do you eat? how do you go to work? describe your day and how you feel.

@Healingheart where do the words "can't trust my mind" come from?

@Hardkill why do you still try to control the behavior of women? what do you do on a daily basis? can you post your daily schedule? are you willing to take action and tweak it a little?
