@ExodiaGearCEO yeah. Both. Take care of your family, discover your life purpose. You can always start another company, and you’ll have the experience of having started one already. It’ll all work out fine. Meditate every morning. Slow things down a little. ❤️?

Liberation of self.

@egoless yes! The truth is not on a forum. It’s what you are. You’re right that you should not be looking to the illusion to show you the truth. I would suggest not reinforcing your paradigms with people who are in the same paradigm.

@egoless Ronald McDonald will tell you their hamburgers are good, psychiatrists will tell you their pills are good. The ego will tell you you’re a physical separate person. It’s up to you to do the work to transcend, it has nothing to do with me. I don’t even exist. You are not perceiving perceivers. To you, I am an illusion, and you’re asking about the truth. An illusion can’t tell you the truth, that is the nature of an illusion!

@Joseph Maynor the ego has conflict because it wants to be right. Let go of being right. Values are subjective, everyone can have their own.

@egoless research quantum physics. Everything is nothing. Empty, nothing.

@egoless proof isn’t accepted by paradigms. You have to transcend your assumptions. I would just get off the forum for five minutes and study quantum physics, or do the practices, or anything that helps you, if you are serious about your progress. (Nonfluffy version)

@Hermes Trismegistus perhaps you were not meant to work your life away. I know i wasn’t.

@Sahil Pandit yes!

@Hermes Trismegistus do what you want, what you like. That’s no trouble.

@lmfao write down your “why’s”. About what you want in your life, and hang it on the wall. Nice and big so you can’t miss it. Hang it where you’re normally online. It’ll remind you of your deeper self. It’ll make it so much easier.

@doucey24 nuerotic is usually a term for one’s history of negative thinking. If you’re seeking the truth (nothing wrong with that at all) then you haven’t experienced it yet and don’t know what it is yet (nothing wrong with that either). But, consider, you are fearing something that you don’t know even what it is. The problem isn’t the truth, or it’s potential, the problem is the fear it’s self, which is just the result of lazy thinking. I find writing things on paper, and putting them on the wall - things I want to stay focused on, and be without resistant thoughts about - works very well.

@egoless I must not, because I don’t understand your comment. ?

@egoless I might not be understanding you either, but Incase I am... for what it’s worth...ime...the ‘oneness’ can be experienced through practices, and, again, just ime, it was a huge holy shit moment that was permanent. A physical and mental experience of how I am everything / everything is me. My view of almost all subjects changed. Maybe all. But the experience of non physical, the Alone, Godhead, outside of the universe - whatever word you like, I think that takes the right foundation (not a simple thing at all) and a few psychedelic trips. Seems to me a lot of us get the trips down no problem, and then wonder why we are still not experiencing what others are pointing to. It’s because the foundation wasn’t solid enough. I know some people are gonna hate this, but I’m saying it to you cause I think it might help, and I’m not one to give attention to hate.

@Leo Gura yeah! Why are you so silent on all this? LoL ?

@egoless you are the mediator of the truth. Just in the sense, no one else could get it for you or give it to you, cause it is you.

@Edvard i love the Dawkins ref, me too! Awesome. I hear you on letting the definitions and thinking go. I can’t see where it would make sense for anyone to not say what they want to.

@Edvard you’re already God, doing this. Your idea of God is the stumbling block, because it’s just an idea. The only source to refer to is you. This is the purpose of the practices.

A picture of a horse is not a horse, and the appearance of physical is not physical. We can’t point to things and deduce what’s real or not when what we’re pointing to is an illusion, nothing.

@ahmad ibdah do you know what you are?

@mp22 do you know what you are?

@Ilya don’t trick yourself with the “without any reason” & “spontaneous anxiety” script. Write what you want on paper and tape it to the wall. Your “life” is far from being “filled with unconsciousness”. That’s an idea of you you’re talking about, not your circumstances or “life”. Your actual circumstances are that everything you’re experiencing “around you” is your own consciousness and it’s infinite. There’s certainly no shortage, only an idea of shortage based in a misperception of self. You keep tricking yourself into seeing through lack & shortage. Chronically, that is anxiety. Let your past go with meditation. Let your “realistic view of reality”, the “reality” where anxiety is spontaneous, let that go in meditation. Through the days, breath from your stomach, and be aware of the subtle contractions in your body which seam to respond to your thinking and the situations of your day. Relax your whole body every time you notice a contraction. Let what’s happening flow. Choose thoughts that align with your ‘wanted path’, your stuff on the wall.

Not “at the same time”. Pick one or the other. I would pick letting go. “Anxieties and neuroses” don’t need attention.

@Ilya what is your meaning for backsliding?

@sleeperstakes if you make this relative to what you want, and use either example, it clears up.
