@Spider Jerusalem Question everything. Question who what and why is there anything to question and anything to even question it. The movie ‘The Game’ comes to mind, but relatively speaking, it’s such a tiny reference. I don’t know if there is a reference parallel to the absolute mindfuck you cued up now and are experiencing now. Even the word “You” is just mind blowing any way you use it. I find it true to say the Truth is what you’re seeking, and the challenge is we typically must rule everything out in a reality that has no truth at all in it. Like everything! You even have to rule yourself out, and yet, that’s where the Truth is found. Somewhere in the end of that process a very deep “holy shit” starts to surface, and then the big flip, and then you’re dead, and also not dead for the first time, and then there is no time, and you’re not alive either. Blissful though.

If you want, take a look at the paper and tell me which things in which categories give you the uneasy feeling. It’s hard to say anything without some info.

@phoenix666 this thread has me laughing and smilin. Thanks! And....it really is the ultimate ‘when you see it, you’ll shit bricks’.

@MiracleMan I know that feelin!!

@Shiva right on. I think it’s relative to the experience of suffering going into the seeking for truth and peace.

@phoenix666 make two columns on a piece, or 1000 pieces of paper; experienced, and belief. Be Uber honest with yourself, and start putting everything in those columns. This is an easy way to surface many ah ha’s! I found it shocking - the things I thought were true, but realized were not at all. The conditioning of this world is very deep. Very very deep.

@Shiva I like as many sources as possible. I think it adds efficiency in ruling out the truth being learned, and speeds up the boiling down that it can only be experienced. There are 8 billion ways to get there though. What a ride!

@Max_V thanks❤️

@Gabriel Antonio thanks for sharing! Don’t forget, nature is not seperate!

@Mrkvn8 the world will still be so, and I would think a Monastary would be ideal.

@Mrkvn8 you can do the work anywhere.

@ArasH That’s beautiful. ❤️

@MM1988 In some cultures, sure af not America, depression is treated simply and effectively with a change in diet & exercise. I love America, but our current food situation is an epic fail. From psychology today.... https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/your-genetic-destiny/201410/diet-and-depression In epigenetics, DNA doesn’t simply compose the helical structure of the human genome. Rather epigenes, as its name suggest, lies above the genome — adding another layer to the spiraled genetic structure. Environmental factors such as stress, cigarette smoking, and food alter epigenes to change the structure of genes. These epigenetic modifications activate and deactivate genes in ways that help or harm your health. Food is one essential way in which you can control your epigenetic profile. Because what you eat affects your mood, you should aim for foods that enhance your gut health. In fact, microorganisms produce numerous neurochemicals. These neurochemicals made by gut bacteria play a role in mood and other neurologic functions. So balancing gut bacteria through the consumption of probiotics such as Lactobaccilli and Bifidobacteria help to elevate mood.1,2 Another toxicant linked to depression is aspartame, a chemical used in artificial sweeteners. Aspartame is broken down into smaller molecules that decrease serotonin, which has been dubbed the “happiness” hormone and is an important neurochemical messenger that regulates appetite and mood. Natural Depressants and Antidepressants — Nutrients to Avoid and Consume Nutritional epigenetics is a two-way street: Some foods promote health and others bolster disease. To avoid the latter, you should steer away from foods that make you feel depressed: Alcohol: Although the occasional drink is fine, people should limit their alcoholicintake. Heavy alcohol consumption is associated with anxiety and panic attacks; excessive drinking also depletes serotonin, which makes people prone to anxiety and depression. Caffeine: Caffeinated beverages lower serotonin and increase the risk for anxiety, depression, and poor sleep. Reduce your intake for coffee, tea, and hot cocoa. Also, avoid the urge to sweeten your caffeinated beverages. High-Calorie, Low Nutrient Foods: When you eat processed, refined sugars, you enjoy a momentary high-energy jolt. Eating sweets raises blood sugar level, increases fat storage, and promotes a crash-and-burn feeling. Maintaining a steady blood sugar level is important to achieve even-keeled energy levels. To eat your way to being healthier, consume epigenetic foods that promote wellness, improve sleep, and elevate your mood. For example, serotonin is a feel-good hormone that uplifts your mood and helps you to sleep better. Eat foods such as chickpeas, which are rich in tryptophan, a precursor of serotonin. Balance your mood and prevent depression by also eating the following foods: B12 and folate prevent mood disorders and dementias. Sources: beetroot, lentils, almonds, spinach, liver (folate); liver, chicken, fish (B12) Vitamin D deficiency is associated with different mood disorders. Sources: sun exposure; breakfast cereals, breads, juices, milk; high-quality supplements Selenium decreases depression. Sources: cod, Brazil nuts, walnuts, poultry Omega-3 fatty acids are crucial for cognitive and behavioral function. Low levels of omega-3 fats lead to many health problems including mood swings and depression. Sources: cod, haddock, salmon, halibut, nut oils, and algae; high-quality supplements Dark chocolate enhances mood by increasing endorphins in the brain that promote a sense of well-being. There are many healthful foods that act as antidepressants. While these good-mood foods are essential for your diet, there’s still more that you can do. Get in the habit of participating regularly in physical activity. Exercise increases your metabolism, enhances mood, and alleviates tension. I have this every morning with chocolate almond milk, ice, a banana and some peanut butter, in a blender.

@faith Understandable concern. The weird thing is, it is not a substance in a physical world altering a brain chemistry. In fact, it is an illusionary world with an illusionary substance that you assign a meaning & purpose to (both illusions also). The mindfuck is that can be seen after ingesting the substance (there are other methods of course) . But it is you, ultimately, who makes it that way. Alice can escape the rabbit hole, and there is no wizard of oz. It’s all you. My practical advice is start small, in nature, alone. That is how you were before you came here, so that is how you return. You’ll return to what it was before. Spoiler...you’re beautiful af.

@ArasH I think he’s experiencing the opposite. I’m speculating, internalizing & projecting conflation- I am not Jim Carrey, and I actually am Jim Carrey. I had a phase / paradigm where I ‘had it all figured out’; eating, meditating, exercising, marriage, kids, money, success, talent, science, spirituality. It’s everything & it’s nothing. It’s all illusionary. It’s a great illusion. I’m already laughing right now even typing that because it’s so funny that the whole thing is me. Why am I even typing to you when I see you are me? Because I have nothing to do and forever to do it.

@phoenix666 I suggest the now is layered upon by beliefs & thoughts (and beliefs are thoughts). So the path is letting go of beliefs & thoughts (suffering), what’s left is the now. Versus the now being something to acquire or attain or progress to. It’s now, now, with made up layers on it. Ultimately, what’s happening now, is nothing.

@AleksM Love Bashar!!! Sometimes hard to find - Great share! Ders!! (I’m getting one a day btw.)

@ArasH Loved him in dumb & dumber, something about mary, ace Ventura, etc. Loved his graduation speech. I love his paintings. I love that he experienced truth and does not hold back and doesn’t second guess his delivery / personal presentation. I loved when he saw people googling jim carry and ‘creep’ or ‘creepy’ so he went and sang Creep at a karaoke bar. Hilarious. I love his clarity on his childhood, how his mother’s suffering brought the response of humor out. I love his relationship and rapport he talks about with his dad. I love that he killed it when he got high before a gig, but overall chooses not to, so he’s really doing it as authentic. I also love the beard. In general, I find him easily lovable.

@Shiva i don’t know man...

@ArasH He makes perfect sense to me. I’m loving it.

@MiracleMan they are all me, and I love them all. Lately, everyone is my teacher

@Edvard stop demotivating yourself. Appreciate the ‘reset’ through sleep. We wake up with a clean slate every morning...unless you fill your momentum back up from yesterday. If that’s the case, you need to walk out of the machinery.

@kieranperez The experience of liberation and true love that sits just in front of you is blowing my mind.

Consciousness doesn’t exist
