I also notice that couples tend to resemble each other.  Like they’ll both have a similar flaw, maybe a weird nose or mouth or something.  That’s probably why they jive because they feel comfortable with each other because they both share the same or similar “flaw”.  Kinda similar to the dog example.  We’re Looking to accept ourself by loving ourself.  So, we love others that appear like us so that we may learn to love and accept ourselves.  This is why we are attracted to people that have our shadow traits.  The shadow is driven to re-integrate and to be loved and accepted.  This is the fuel for life, the fuel for our journeys — self-acceptance and acceptance of reality.  This is what is causing the flow of life, the current of growth, the sense of needing to arrive someplace.  We are driven to rid ourselves of inauthenticity.  That’s really what growth is.

@sgn yes!!! Truth be told, my pic was a black void, Leo asked me to change it.  The love pics started after the absolute experience.

Good point.  Or, maybe perhaps "experienced" and hard to put it into words. But, life goes on. We're just presented with some wisdom to guide us through, and once we learned all our lessons, we move onto a better realm. At least that’s the best I can make of it. (I'm talking about our profile pics too.)

Non-humans sometimes do better. They accept each other regardless. We could learn from them.

And enlightenment is the greatest relief; a spiritual teacher who guides you to become absolutely relieved is the greatest asshole ever...

Yes, they would almost have to, to get through this brick mind of ours ... and finally relieved

The names are given mostly by teachers as a pointer to the "seekers" potential / qualities as well as a pointer that the "seeker" is not his old name / identity. 

Very interesting.

Well you guys have known me since the forum was open. Maybe you can all help me pick a new name

Oh.. Then does that mean that I want an asshole? (I picked the name 'Mr.Asshole')

I already have one; And I don't like anal sex either...

'Ma Lolsha..'

To my knowledge, the longest thread in this forum is the 'enlightenment jokes' thread, which was started by you. I am pretty sure that many people have had a lot of 'LOL' moments because of that thread. 'Ma' is the usual prefix that is given to female sannyasins. Osho used to name female sannyasins this way too. And obviously, the last syllable 'Sha' comes from your actual name.

And by the way, Osho was probably the first person to use jokes as a means to silence the mind. Because, when a person is laughing, his mind is usually silent.

I thought of a name for Leo Gura too. It is easy and just involves changing one letter...

Namaste was too obvious, so I went with Nahm. A guy was telling me about when he climbed Mt Everest, or most of it, and he asked a Sherpa why they said nahmaste every morning to eachother, and he said the Sherpa said to acknowledge they recognize the God in each other.
