@Tistepiste After 23 yrs of daily morning meditation, I see it as decreasing over-thinking & increasing awareness. So if there’s some unwanted shit going on, that’s a good thing. It’s rough becoming aware of it, but stick with it, and liberation follows. We often carry a lot of issues in our heads and body’s in a conditioned “behind the scenes” kind of way, not subconscious, but unaware of because we’re overthinking and distracting ourselves from what our true self, and bodies are communicating. So when that stuff arises, focus on naturally breathing from your stomach and keep relaxing head to toe. Once you are calm and relaxed, ask.... ”What is the insight I’m being shown here?” It might be a change of habit would help you, maybe forgiveness is in order and would help you, maybe letting go of a repeating thought, etc. Whatever it is, the true self want to tell you - you can do it. You totally can. Stick with it. Probably the wisest decision you’ll ever make. So many people just zoom in, work hard, etc, without zooming out, and life is stressful & difficult that way. It’s supposed to be fun. Godspeed and congrats my friend!

@Primentex Went to my friend’s funeral yesterday, who committed suicide. Some reasons off the top of my head not to do that; his mom, his sister, his friends, his niece, his nephew, his coworkers, his uncles & aunts, his cousins, his grandma, & that he could have gotten the help he needed and lived a happy and amazing life (he was 23). And I don’t mean he shouldn’t have done that for the sake of those people, I mean he could have realized he had all those people loving him already, and he could have loved them. He probably would have seen that life typically get’s easier in just a few years from 23. Also, if you actually were aware (realized) that this is an illusion, you wouldn’t be thinking about nor asking about suicide - that reveals you are in the duality of believing you are alive. Upon realization, there is all the love & joy in “life”, as there is in “death”, as they are actually the same, with regard to You.

@Quanty Just us morons talking to ourselves.

FIsh & bananas?

@pluto Nice! Truth’s everywhere today❤️ “Pick me up Love, everyday.” DM’s

The power that is, is not interested in a Rolex. (Save your Osho pics, please)

@Self Discovery You’re half through this. Still need to take time to sit nd understand. It’s like you cleared the distractions and your self imposed blockages haven moved into your awareness....but you have’t Focused the awareness & clarity to understand how you created the blockages. When you do, they disappear. You’re doing awesome btw. How many people make that retreat call? Not enough. Good for you ❤️ Keep diggin. @George Fil ?? Excited for you!

@Lucas Lousada “Drugs” take away our ability to over think, revealing we are already in nirvana. So sit still for long periods. See what’s going on in there. See what thoughts and perspectives you’ve been unknowingly carrying. Become aware of what you’re carrying from one day to the next, mental baggage & outlook / perspective wise. Notice everyday, right when you wake up, you have a clean slate, and if you let em, yesterday’s limitations of possibilities will resume. But they don’t have to. Anger’s a friend to sit with. He’ll give you everything you want, but you have to listen intently to understand him. He brings you the real gifts, the one’s you really want. Anger says ”here’s your blockage, it’s right here! Covering the solution - just look, see through it!”

@RoaldKamman There are no particles. We are free to see in ourselves, and in others, what we want to see. Loa is true, because there are no laws. Sit next to someone who is without particles, without laws, without limit. Infectious. “I’ll have some of that please”. ❤️

That’s beautiful. ❤️??

Enough to get an apartment & car, and get life started.

When you’re fine with whatever mood she’s in (genuinely fine), she’ll start to realize she is the one missing out, feeling less than she could be. If you’re involved mood wise, helping, justifying...she won’t. Careful not to perpetuate victimization. Don’t repeat any of this to her, we don’t want you getting murdered.

@Elisabeth Sounds like you’re holding a pessimistic future perspective for yourself/ life, and feeling the mental breaks from it during sex / ecstasy / partner “seeing the real you” as you mentioned. ‘Longing for something I don’t think I can have” makes me think you’re used to this negative long term view, to the point you don’t realize there is not an actual problem, but that it is your perspective and it’s eluding you. Have you listened to speakers which focus on the infinite possibilities in life? I think that would help. Life is supposed to be fun. Sounds like maybe you slipped into a kind of “life is serious, that’s a given” mode. There’s no inherent meaning though. It’s up to you. In a bigger picture, maybe you’re becoming aware of the reality of non-physicality, and mentally holding on to the concept of a physical reality. Are you prioritizing fun everyday?

Have you tried sitting with feet together like this? Works for me.

@eleveneleven I agree on Portland. Eugene too, one of my favorites peeps.

@Freakrik No dude. There’s no hell to go to. You have a perspective of duality (good people and bad people) but that’s your belief to let go of. Kick that 20 up to 30. and twice a day. You got to stop talking about hell. Its made up. Let it go bro.

@Freakrik You are misunderstanding infinity, like a blind person trying to understand someone who is describing colors. Let infinity go for now. It’s way ahead of where you’re at. Stop using infinity to justify continuing to put your own focus on hell. You are keeping your worry going and it is completely unnecessary. And really, no offense, but consider not getting on the forum until you’ve done at least 30 minutes of meditation each day. The idea here is to free yourself, not enslave yourself by talking about things like hell. You’ve got a life to live man. Get going.

If the question (in regard to anything) is...should I worry, the answer is always NO. Worrying is irrational, unproductive, and a falsity. Could be easier said than done given where you’re at today (I don’t know) but it is a logical & rational mindset. Worry just simple will not help. Be smart, cautious as needed, but worrying is self inflicted suffering. As far as potentially going to hell when you die, yes, you will be ok. There’s no such thing as hell. Try to get to a place where you realize you just believed some ignorant people who judge others and instead of realizing the error in judging, they backed it up with “It’s not me judging you, it’s God’s judgement”. God is not on par with humans, and therefore judging anything. God is Love, and Love is God. No judgment, no hell, nothing to worry about. Do you see how your consciousness / self development work is cut out for you? Like, the good news is there’s no hell and nothing to justify worrying. The bad news is, you have negative habits of repeating negative thoughts about Hell & likely other unwanted aspects of your past & potential future. You can get yourself to a place where you have let go of your past (Freedom). You can get yourself to a place where you have a positive perspective on your potential future (Enthusiasm). “The work” you have to do, if you want, is actually good news, because you’re going to love the positive changes in your inner world, and your outer world. Focus is king. Whatever you focus on, more comes into your life. So drop the focusing on hell 100%, and it will never be an issue for you. Pick something you want in your life, and start spending a little time focusing on it. Magic ensues man, I swear.

@Freakrik I hear where you’re comin from man. I was atheist for years. Seems like if there’s God and Love that there must be hell, but that’s the duality, the cosmic joke. Everythings really ok though. ❤️

@Freakrik I think you’re misunderstanding. There’s no hell, realms, etc. Nobody’s alive then dead. Just Infinite consciousness. Love is love man, and you are too. Perhaps at a point in your life, you believed some folks who talked about God condemning some people and not others, and maybe now you can start to see they didn’t know, just, sometimes it makes people feel better cause they lost someone, or hurt someone, or were hurt. Forgiveness is made difficult when we believe we’re all seperate.

@Nagma In two months, you could change your entire life, your perspective, your health, etc. You could get to a ‘place’ that is unbelievable to where you ‘are’ now. You could experience orders of magnitude of yourself. The word enlightenment is just not useful really.

@Freakrik You’re not trying to figure anything out, you’re perpetuating your beliefs, and looking for justification. Why? https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=P0FOMSA2ZrU

...and the eternal debate continues ?

@Freakrik Do you want there to be a hell?
