Contemplate how attached you are to practices, teachers, teachings, books, self-actualization, spirituality, self-help. Yes yes, but by telling us "think about what you're doing" you're encouraging the very thing you're arguing against. Your advice is just self-help in disguise.

Posted 8 hours ago (edited) Be brutally honest with yourself. See that what you are doing is just survival. After enlightenment, it is just survival again. Chop wood, carry water. Edited 8 hours ago by CARDOZZO Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If I disagree with your fantasies and I ask you to contemplate how wrong you are, I became calloused. Now... If I agree with everything and drop some BS lovy response, you call me awake, intelligent, sensitive, construct-aware. Contemplate your BS, feel the pain.

Posted 5 hours ago Cool question. I tend to approach reality in both ways, like "normal" mode and "overdrive" lol Like I was talking to a friend about death. And we both said like broo what?? This shit does not matter, its all the same anyway etc. But then there is the "normal" approach (we call it "keeping it a hunnid"). So by "keeping it a hunnid" we both came to the conclusion that death is scary as fu** and we want to experience more before we die. But like, what? The both modes of operation are exactly the same. Its so paradoxical Its hard to talk about. I cant explain it. So I tend to "keep it a hunnid" to do cool shit, thats the practical mode of operation. The "overdrive" is like a fundemental truth that you know is there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
