a master wrote ...
think of yourself like a cube of sugar dropped into the tea... the more time you spend immersed the more you dissolve. Don't fret about the pace of dissolution, nor whether the sugar cube will dissolve, instead, just stay immersed as much as possible, with immediate forgiveness when you realize you are not.

Hey popee, saw you logged in a few time, just wanted to say hello.
You know, most are so involved in reaching a destination they miss the journey when in fact the two are not separate, the destination is the journey!
Where the heck are you going anyway when your already eternal? haha
I hope your story is as you would like it to be, if not turn then turn the flipin page dumb ass, who the hell else is writing it? hehe

"spiritual" "religious" "wise" "holy" "enlightened" "saint" all limiting words, keeping some lost in confusion, lost in a new ego identity which in truth all these words are pointing to its complete dissolution. here now or now here is to be no where which is to be present in no mind no mind/no confusion actions speak louder than words yet silence says it all Silently I AM.......... Happy for you popee WS

thanks ws
yeah, its all good. complaints pop up from time to time, but if you don't latch on to them, they will quickly fade away
seems like "the present, the here-now" can get 'boring', where-as one's imagination can dream up all kinds of fun stuff (misery too though, lol)

live the dream, just know your dreaming haha
what else ya gonna do, join a monastery and chant the same crap all day long so you don't have to experience reality? or maybe they've experienced enough of it, who knows.... hehe
If we all did that, sit and chant all day, who would make the monastery, who would think up the chants, cook the food, design the orange robes and who would they have to balance out with their renunciation of life after we got all stressed out not making the deadline they had for us on the completion of the new monastery? hehe hummmm......? sounds like existence has it all figured out too me, so just live it.
Actually, who is suffering anyway when there is no identity just pure experience?
I think religion is too life denying, just know why your doing what your doing and live and let live, that's it, just experience life in its fullest, no limitations, except harming others don't do that. Just be all that you want to be,
like Osho said; whatever makes you dance and sing, whatever fills your heart with joy and bliss, that is your only true religion.
the world is the way it is for a reason, as the tree grows from a seed, a bird flies from one branch to another, I sit back and watch it all unfold, all for the same reason....suchness

Those who know..... yeah, true. but its easy to: 1) get excited about something, and feel like trying to share it. 2) hear something which contradicts some belief, and then feel compelled to defend said belief. or 3), 4), 5) .... lol Mind can rationalize/justify anything it feels like getting involved with

live the dream, just know your dreaming haha The dream analogy is OK I guess, but I'm not a huge fan of it. I don't think an intellectual understanding that you're dreaming is gonna wake anyone up. No, I think that logic misses the boat. Work still gets done, but it doesn't require mental commentary while doing it. Not that 'thinking' is "bad", but there is a difference between 'productive thinking' and 'nonsense thinking'. yeah, that imaginary ' who' is the right question to investigate forget about "religion". the sooner, the better which isn't trying to imply that religion is bad, or needs to be avoided, whatever at each ones core, they all point to the same thing ... which is useful but they all have had "issues" with some leaders/elites who didn't understand the narrative correctly ie. got sidetracked by "nonsense thinking" instead of "productive thinking" imo

silence is a great place to gather all your no/thoughts so that when your repression of expression has reached its limit you can explode with some really radical ideas like some of those on this site. hehe
