  1. @DEV “Reality can not be claimed a certain way......here’s the proof” (assuming you slipped that humor in there) well done sir. Cracked me up❣️
  2. @AleksM I don’t know man, I know some pretty weak neurotic folks, they haven’t realized a lot of the things you & I have, but one of the things I’ve realized, is they are the same as me.
  3. @hinawashi they likely have guilt or shame, which leads them feeling helpless. Guilt triggers motivation to correct or amend something we did. Shame is not saying “I did something shitty”, it’s the inner dialogue that “I am a shitty person”. Shame is the worst, it’s just horrible. Use a story from your past. Like “Yeah, it is hard af sometimes, but I recently learned we’re all somewhere in a process of growth. When I first learned that, I started to feel a little more free, a little more like just one step at a time, one day at a time. I used to beat up on myself for ________ but when I realized I was where I was in my process, I was able to take a baby step for myself, and then another, and another...and these days, I’m feelin pretty good about things - feeling like I can do more, which makes me want to take a little better care of myself. You’re feeling high, and they’re feeling low. If you use low undesirable words like victim mindset, etc, they internalize it and reinforce their shame. If you refer to yourself using words that are accurate of how great you’re feeling, then you won’t connect, they will feel their lowness relative to your highness. So use words to downplay your high a little, no self deprecation, just take the edge off it, when referring to your experiences. Use high words when referencing their current experience. I find it works well. It’s sneaky, and there’s some NLP at play, but if the goal is to actually connect and help, and you see you’re up against their ego, well, do what works. Disclaimer - I suck at this & and am getting better, but I feel I do understand it.
  4. I’m 4. I’m 3. I must be 2. Nah. You’re One. “If I’m doin my job, it’s your resolve that breaks....cause the hook brings you back!” John Popper. The hook of illusion, is thinking. ”on that, you can rely”.
  5. How do I get to starbucks? The Buddha: “Park Ave to Main St. Is the way”. Thanks!.....sip.....sip How do I obtain inner peace? The Buddha: “Meditation is the way”. Oh wow, he must be so enlightened, he must know everything, so amazing! How did he achieve this????? So mystical!!!! Should I quit my job and go live in a monestary? Maybe I need to rethink everything!? How does anyone know what they should do with their life??? What am I? What am I supposed to be doing??? FUUUUCCCCKKKKKK!!!!!!!! Maybe I need to read more? A promotion, yeah, if I get a promotion maybe then I can use that money to hire a guru!!! What is wrong with me anyways!?? FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK!!!!!!!!! Why am I Amway’s thinking??? Why is the world so unfair?? Why me!??? The Buddha: Meditation is the way.
  6. Relative to One, thoughts of the mind are like occlusion of the body.
  7. @The White Belt religion is a self improvement gathering, without the self improvement. A tea party with no tea. Someone realizes we are all the light & the love...great...he must be the chosen one. Let’s worship him.
  8. The suffering is rooted in the misunderstanding of what perceives and what is perceived. Separation is hell. I am within the mirror, not in the mirror.
  9. @Elephant I heard of a guy who just made tea with honey, put it in a travel water bottle with a a couple tea bag tags hangin out, and shoved it in his check in (not carry on) bag. That guy’s crazy though. Very risky stuff.
  10. @hinawashi what is the truth that you are telling them and getting an ill reaction to?
  11. @Harms727 There are over 10,000 different practicing sects of Islam, Christianity & Buddhism alone. It seems like a gigantic buffet. I mean, how could someone tell which vision is non permanent, or accurate? What do you mean by non permanent? ?
  12. @Harms727 how can you tell which are the false one’s?
  13. I am interested in examples of the paradoxes the mind can’t handle. Anyone know any? ( I’m not being sarcastic)
  14. @AleksM and how we see it becomes how we feel it. Examples of paradoxes anyone? Been thinking about the science and brain one’s. The Santa one is nice for analogy. What paradoxes is the general population in?
  15. Learning an atom is empty is helpful, knowledge wise. Not sure what you mean by the way of God and Action.
  16. @Harms727 Hi! Great post. Interesting. I’m not so sure about the ‘can’t be done alone’. I do believe in the most effortless path though. A guru would be handy, but it’s a slippery slope too.
  17. It’s a really beautiful process. You communicate with such a sweetness. Very rare and refreshing.
  18. @egoless the wall is more conscious than Nahm could ever be.
