Nahm

Are you not, right now, literally imagining something you can do and more experiments?

@Revolutionary Think What is it you said / say - do / did which ‘pisses people off’?

@Isaac k You’re not struggling with strong negative emotions, you’re experiencing ‘strong’ ‘negative’ thoughts / judgement. (The thoughts are neither strong nor negative in truth, as those are thoughts too).

When the Buddha was asked, given the choice, if he’d go to heaven or hell, he said hell.

@Preety_India It’s a stages thing. You’re growing out of the objectifying stage. Or already beyond it really, but sort of looking back at it, trying to make sense of it. Imo it won’t & can not make sense unless you’re in it (the stage, whatever stage that might be). Like authority for example. You’re still in that stage, so it seems to make sense.

No it hasn’t.

Lol. You’re that ‘other person’ right now. Just a program playing out. Just like you said. Nailed it Jack.

@Max8 Meditation is not useful. It is not a solution to your problems. It is not an answer to your questions. It will not change anything.

@Tyler Durden Get. Crazy.

@Rilles Right. For sure. It all seems so easy for the true nature. Like, “I’ll just be reality and since I can’t actually not be me, everything will inevitably be awesome”. But we both know that’s not how it goes. This place reached the fucked beyond repair tipping point a very long time ago. The next generation will carry all the difficulties and mental baggage of the last. Nobody’s gonna step up and change a damn thing.

@Rilles Hating on a player keeps you stuck playing. Hate on the whole game. This whole reality. It’s total bs that you had to forget your infinitude to be him. No fairness in that situation at all. Total fucking rip off.

You are always yourself. If there seems to be a loss of ‘an old self’ and or a change to ‘a new self’, it can be readily noticed you are the one aware of all of these thoughts. The self never comes & goes. Thoughts come & go. To bring an end to this suffering is to no longer believe the thoughts about yourself are true.

@Endangered-EGO I’m not convinced hurting yourself is related to equanimity. But you do you of course. ?

@SQAAD ‘There’. What a jokester.

@Endangered-EGO Is that the thinking with the creating pain (op) also? Something better to hurry to more or less?

@SQAAD Ok, but how are you defining oneself & others?

@Endangered-EGO Oh, ok. Why do you prefer ease, speed & efficiency?

@SQAAD How do you define selfishness?

@Endangered-EGO Sounds like you naturally prefer those because they feel good.

Why those?

How do you fit into all this? Sort of sounds like you’re saying there is God, you, a God you imagine, and humans.

Why?

You can’t force yourself because there isn’t a you and a yourself, and there is very literally nothing you need to do.

How do you know God is a he?

@Giulio Bevilacqua Could be over anything. Maybe someone had or has a significant other, an income, astounding luck or charisma, a talent, a symmetrical face or body, was born in ‘the right’ place, etc. Anything … that you felt a little “I want that!”.
