SOUL

There is no conflict between spirituality and life purpose so there is no need for a solution to it. If there is any perceived 'conflict' it is from the perception and that perceived conflict can be resolved but spirituality and life purpose not just coexist, they are complementary.

Do it by removing all reference to the dualism of good and evil from the mindset. With the casual terminology one uses refrain from saying something is 'good' or 'bad' even in respect to personally as 'for me'. Remove it from the mindset as completely as one can and eventually the judging nature will fade away from one's perspective when viewing everything including others.

Yes and holding limiting beliefs such as something 'must' or it can 'only' happen under specific circumstances or only in certain ways inhibits our ability to let the infinite potential blossom and manifest as it will in and through us

Let us be one.

Upon reading your post something along these lines is what I was going to say. Too often we try to label and understand with concepts to satisfy the egos desire for identity. Just celebrating what is as it is with appreciation for being present in that moment is a fulfillment that transcends all limiting beliefs. Allowing oneself to be open to the infinite possibility will always invite ourselves to be a conduit for healing in any way that it happens

Yes! Baba-onezie..........haha

Wait... are you wearing a onezie? Or maybe your hoodie and pants kinda match so it looks like it. I want it to be a cosmic onezie. Hehe

I don't owe you any suggestions or advice and it appears your own mind doesn't owe you the ability to detect sarcasm.

What if she is already 'enlightened' and experiences the cessation of self suffering while you are just trying to 'master' it and still suffering? Heh

Well, I didn't ask for an answer or offer you a question, which I don't owe you.

I don't owe you an answer.

I have a huge cult but nobody gives me any money, nobody listens to a word I say, nobody even realizes they are in my cult and you can't even get out of it even if you try..... it's the ultimate subliminal cult. Haha

BAHA! .....hehe

I challenge opinions, perspective and perceptions of beloved gurus, Leo, accepted 'non-duality' and 'spirituality' quite a bit. What I try not to do is attack someone or make it personal even though sometimes it may be justified to do so because how productive or beneficial the discussion is is more important than ego appeasing.

Wait, how does someone stop another from doing inner work? Haha

Asking if the ego can die or stay dead is like asking if a rock can die or stay dead.

Our mind uses belief to navigate in the physical world, it's natural and an unconscious process so we cannot stop our mind from doing so. The difference is the identity attaching story the ego builds around beliefs about self are the ones that will cause self suffering if challenged. A 'system' of beliefs are a bunch of individual beliefs that rely on each other and support each other so challenging one belief may challenge the network of them. This is why if they are built around self identity they are more fragile to the ego and can cause self suffering if a single one is challenged since the whole identity is challenged because of the one being so. If you are seeking to limit self suffering then to limit the amount of self identity beliefs will help in that regard. Although, deluding yourself into believing you don't have any beliefs at all is just that, a self delusion, since it is a self belief of 'I don't have any beliefs' which isn't factual so may again cause self suffering when one is confronted with the reality of the mind's natural beliefs. If you want to know if a belief is a self belief or a natural life functioning one is ask yourself if the 'truth' of the belief exists apart from the belief in it. Such as you don't jump off a cliff because you 'believe' in gravity but if you don't believe in it do you still fall? It can get more complicated as the beliefs become more abstract such as does one believe they are a success? If we look at it from a physical point of view every moment we are alive is a success, that's the only measure of success as an individual biological organism. As a more complex social creature our ideas of success may be more complicated than just the animal's survival. Then is where we'd have to examine the network of ideas we believe to find the ones attached to self identity. As a simple matter of the way I view it is I prefer to have as few beliefs as needed to survive but I don't obsess over the amount I have because attaching identity to how much I have would cause self suffering. So if a belief doesn't exist unless I believe it then I just don't believe it, so that's it, nothing more than that. If the belief is a functional one it doesn't really matter if I believe in it so I'm not exercising my voluntary belief muscle of the mind so to speak. If it's a necessary component to life sustain the mind will unconsciously account for it without me having to actively believe it to be. So some might say, well, isn't this just all a belief system I have about belief systems? Yup, it sure is...it's a belief system used to limit the belief system of self identity and cease self suffering. It's works in my experience of being present to liberate from self suffering.

Hey look, it's another 'bullshit' thread...... I guess that's what Leo gets for making a video calling everything bullshit. Haha

So when will you transcend the seeking the ultimate truth perspective? Just wondering.....

Funny how people can overthink it.....under the guise of not thinking it. Heh

He used to post on the forum and exited from it with a 'I'm leaving' thread so I decided to watch one of his videos. He basically is using 'enlightenment' as another accomplishment, yes with all the spiritual terminology to adorn it but it's just another merit badge on his ego's scout vest.

It isn't really stored... it's present moment experience, it's in awareness of being here now. The path we are on is us discovering and transcending the containers that the mind perceives consciousness is stored in. Does that clarify?

Some people have self important or moralistic perceptions of their own life choices in comparison to others, don't let those people's attitudes influence how you perceive your own choices. If you don't intend to harm others and your actions bring as little harm to yourself and others as you can reasonably do then just find your way and be at peace with it.

No can do brotha because it's you replying to you through me..... again. hehe

I chose for me to reply to me through what appears to be you...again.
