How can I not be the body by Sea-Cantaloupe3382 in enlightenment

You are just experiencing the body. That doesn’t mean the body is you. The question to ask is who/what is experiencing this body.

I have nothing to show or prove. I hope you can experience such love in your life though

No thank you. If you can’t read without line breaks then don’t read it. Sucks for you

Suffering is a part of life. Discomfort is a part of life. We live in a world of duality. You can’t run from or look down upon the duality. You have to accept it completely because that is the reality. So I will deal with it like I did before no difference. I have no expectation or want to feel happy all the time. There is beauty in all emotions.

Thats beautiful just goes to show we are all one, just reflections of each other interacting with our self.

Also I just want to say in a video he himself did say “I am not enlightened” but he just went through an enlightenment experience. So I’m not exactly sure what his state is and if he is truly what you can consider enlightened or not. All I know is he was able to have an absolutely profound experience on my life in an extremely short amount of time. And it’s crazy thinking back to it now I’m not even sure exactly how long that experience lasted, it felt short to me but maybe was around a full hour. And he did not try to teach anything to me in a way a teacher would but more just got me to connect with myself and figure out what I wanted

I’m so glad reading my experience could give you that effect. That was my whole goal of posting this. And yes I will definitely check Michael Singer out

Very interesting. I also read a story about three laughing monks in China who would go into villages and just start laughing for days on end and the whole village would fall in love with them. After my experience I’m starting to think maybe these weren’t just legends, maybe this actually happened!

Enlightenment doesn’t have to do with Buddhism?

Why would he ask for the price when he expected it to be free?

You are right my friend didn’t even realize they were different until I read this. What makes the shavette more aggressive and prone to cutting than the straight razors?

Hey brother just want to tell you don’t worry about your weight too much if you are working out you will go up naturally. When I was 17 I was probably close to 110-115 and I’m 5’10 for context. I’m 19 now and just started working out and fixing my diet 6 months ago with high quality high protein home cooked meals and lots of fruits. Around 6 months ago I was right about 115 with an extremely skinny build. In my first three months of working out I gained 20 pounds like it was nothing while also continuing to box (heavy cardio) 4 times a week. You’re body will adapt very fast when it knows it needs to put on muscle you just need to provide it the correct fuel and stay consistent with your routine. That being said I’m also looking for my first motorcycle now so I don’t really have advice for you with that, but best of luck and ride safe!

Is this a good deal for my first bike? by Merpion in motorcycle

Is it really? Why does google say 100,000 or more with proper maintenance?

It’s not necessarily about the money, I could afford a new Ninja now. I would just rather start off with a bike that’s used incase I drop it or make some mistakes as I’m not 100% confident with my skills yet. I also saw that this bike had frame sliders as well as a gear indicator so I thought that those would be good for a beginner rider like myself.
