@Natasha Tori Maru Great! I’m happy for you that you can make it work.

Personally I’m not yet at that place. I actually started with my real name back in 2021 here for the same reasons as you - but had to have it changed as it was creating too much unnecessary conflict in my human matters.

@Miguel1 That could come up, so I would take action if I did face some serious issues. I think your decision is wise, mine carries risk. And you could argue - undue risk. I am quite intentional about wanting to inspire people to be authentic and genuine. Real expression. Much of my online presence is an attempt to embody that so I can lead by example.

Because real, honest, earnest truth and expression has always led me to my greatest successes and achievements. I try to be as honest with myself as I can, so I have the best chance to learn from my mistakes. See clearly what went wrong, refine my knowledge and technique - and move forward knowing what to avoid and what to move toward. 

I feel if I am as real as possible, this just might prompt others to be real. And there is a real chance at connection and union. Intimacy. Platonic love. And the shared experience of that is the best joy there is! The dissolving of all duality through the experience of the REAL :D 


Deal with the issue now, on your terms, in your control. Or the issue will deal with you, in ways you won't appreciate, and cannot control.

Haven't seen @Breakingthewall and @meta_male in a while, too!

Guess they won't be back will miss their content

Still lurking here and there. But really not identifying with this place anymore. Too many culty vibes, everyone busy trying to convert each other.

I don't like your perspective. Let me convert you to a different POV 


Here are smart words that present my apparent identity but don't mean anything. At all.

I think it's both! Anonymity can be freeing, but there is still ego going into the anonymous persona (that I see!). It is like another layer to the already false self - now we have a new false e-self! But with slatterings of truth in there... 

 

@Yimpa

 

I definetly have a ZenSwift ego. 

I want ZenSwift to be liked and appreciated. 

 

BTW I've never even studied Zen 😂

I wouldn't even mind changing my name here. 


What assumptions, beliefs, or illusions am I under right now?
