The fundamentals of life are ofter paradoxical and contradictory in their nature, making it hard for us to understand these truths with our logical mind. Thus, we should use our intuitive intelligence if we are to seek truth

I have stopped all desire except for the desire to leave this matrix and go home so I am still suffering 😭😭 I suffer knowing that consciousness is eternal and there is no escape.

@boltzmannbrain6607 13 күн бұрын

Ive had the same mindset you have for many years and I was done with the world and this "matrix" I just wanted to become part of nothingness for eternity. But then recently I fell madly in love with this girl I work with, so madly in love that I reconsidered my whole perspective on life , it made me want to live. Problem is I am not with this girl yet and I dont know if I can get her, but apparently I am not even allowed to desire her because that will bring me more suffering 😂 this matrix is really testing us

The way to stop desiring is to know and understand that you already have everything you ever want meditate on the great uniqueness of the energy of having. having everything already solved the problem

When you desire to go to the park! You get up, start walking to the park. What happens to the desire when you get to the park. No more desire. Same as when you desire Nirvana, take the 8 noble path to get to Nirvana. Complete!

Practice just being and seeing that all is alright now. Let go of all thoughts and open to unconditional love. Just allow it to happen. Work on this over and over, day after day.

@Med1na2012 Ай бұрын

your sickness/illness is from you but you do not perceive it and your remedy/wellness is within you but you do not sense it. You presume you are a small entity, but within you is enfolded the entire universe. You are indeed the evident book, by who's alphabet the hidden becomes manifest. Therefore you have no need to look beyond yourself, what you seek is within you, if only you reflect.

@Med1na2012 how to use your advice in practical life? I'm in grief after my ex-wife divorced me, and I get to see my beloved daughter every fortnight, If I want to change this, I must go to family court, I feel sick about the whole thing, I was a good dad abd husband indeed, supported her to finish her education, and once she got her first job she told me bye bye.. what to seek inside me? I used to enjoy meditation, but it's like a chore meanwhile..

Suffering is a *_CLAIM_* for something (better) to happen and needs to happen, by the (desirous egoic) self ie "I" or "Me". When the sense of a separate egoic self in the individual is vanquished, there is no more claim, thus there is neither sufferer nor enjoyer, neither experiencer nor the experienced, the Teachings say. 😊🙏🙇‍♂️🌷

Simply untrue. " Suffering " is created by " i ' the source of desire... know Thyself. The Buddha thought no such nonsense. Buddha represents a state of no mind, Emptiness, Spaciousness... look within. Namaste 🙏

This is the stage i am at. Everything i am doing seems to take me from being here now even these vids. By watching or listening or not just being present by desiring enlightenment i am denying life. And i am further then before from said space. This will grind some gears but 15 years sell bud and these teachings all were 2nd nature. They all were done freely with no education of them. But now i am spending all this energy learning to be again as a bud dealer. Kind,cool,collect never judging, treating everyone as a ur best friend. Always willing to help someone or there kids. Now i am not able to even take care of myself how others were cared for back then. But i am coming home idgaf

Desire with the ego as the guide, will bring some kind of suffering. BUT DESIRE WITH THE INNER GOD BEING AS THE SOLE GUIDE, brings NO SUFFERING!!!

But, you don't have to suffer. You will, more than necessary, because you still think it comes from outside you. Learning to observe the pain and leave it behind never to come back is the least that we can do.

Once humanity realizes we are God in human form and we have the ability to create than we have nothing to change but self. Surprised people haven't made the correlation already when it is so obvious if you pay enough attention. Religion and non religion is the lazy route. Somewhere in the middle is always the answer.

Caring and desire are one in the same. To speak English for a yogi or Buddhist is something they cannot be learnt nevermind teach to the student. An endless cycle of confusion followed by a laugh of not knowing either. Disturbing nonetheless
