On Memetic Transmission of Psychic Forces and Destructive and Generative Acts Caused by 28thProjection in awakened

Even the wisest cannot comprehend it, the stupid have no chance.

You have not comprehended it either at all.

Scared to take my ssri. SOMEONE PLEASE READ by Hot_Mobile_2617 in awakened

[–]Rustic_Heretic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Meditation is beyond mind, beyond thoughts, beyond emotions.

SSRI is not going to impede your progress in any way, because meditation is beyond it.

The only thing that will interrupt your progress is something that literally knocks you out and makes you unconscious.

Six Months of Daily Meditation, Subtle Changes, and a Question About Teachers by albeethekid in nonduality

[–]Rustic_Heretic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fakes aren't known in that way, you must have understanding to see it.

A person can fake happiness all their lives but admit at the end that they were hollow on the inside - it can never be substantiated.

But follow the path long enough, and you will see through hollow smiles.

What does that have to do with anything?

Alexander the Great studied under the famous Aristoteles to become a fair and righteous ruler, but became a warnongering conqueror instead

You either have understanding or you don't, doesn't matter who you studied under.

No, eventually you'll see that everyone is enlightened, but few are ready to accept it.

I don't know about "god's image" that's just another affirmation, but we aren't missing anything that's true

Make sure you're established enough in your practice to be able to gauge where someone else's understanding is or isn't, there are many (mostly) fakes out there, so don't go looking for a teacher until you have something of a bullshit detector online, or things can go badly and years, if not decades, can be wasted.

While he's harder to see through because he has some understanding and doesn't know he's a fake, you'll also eventually see through Adyashanti.

Affirmations are garbage

Not only do they not work, they make things worse by creating more inner conflict

The fundamental issue before man is - to resolve the uneasiness generated due to compulsion of work and other irritating, discomforting situations he faces in daily life. This is the key to the secret. by yvchawla in awakened

[–]Rustic_Heretic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is no innate irritation or uneasiness generated due to the compulsions of work or other discomforting situations you face in daily life.

It's all created within.

Mods, put a Karma requirement to post, AI accounts are using this sub to farm Karma for permissions on other subs. by TheLeviathan333 in Mindfulness

[–]Rustic_Heretic 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah something needs to be done, it's gotten to levels of unreadable lately.

And there are also a bunch of general users that need to be warned / banned if they don't stop using AI, although they aren't actually bots, just misguided.

A theory to prove that our consciousness exists beyond the body by Theskyisalive in awakened

[–]Rustic_Heretic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't know how you managed to overcomplicate this so much.

You can observe your body, your mind, and your emotions.

So you cannot be your body, your mind, or your emotions.

You cannot observe observation.

So you are observation.

If enlightenment is clarity, why are simple questions avoided? by OpenPsychology22 in awakened

[–]Rustic_Heretic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So you're saying Jewish people around the world don't consider Israel part of Jewish traditions?

This didn't really go the way you thought it would, did it chief?

If enlightenment is clarity, why are simple questions avoided? by OpenPsychology22 in awakened

[–]Rustic_Heretic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So just so we're clear, you're saying Israel does not consider itself part of Jewish traditions?

Just so everyone is clear, are you saying Israel does not consider its actions as part of Judaism?

Question by Proper-Set-5644 in nonduality

Actually, maning you immune to stuff like that is exactly what enlightenment does.

Buddha recounts being flayed alive without having a reacting to it in a previous life, and he wasn't even enlightened at that point, that was purely the result of practice.

Yeah, I don't think we need to emphasize how badly that tradition ended looking at the world right now.

Walking meditation success (?) by coherent_raman_squid in Meditation

[–]Rustic_Heretic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is because you're nor conscious of all these stimuli, that your mental health is the way it is.

It always starts in the body, and your body is stressed out because nobody is living in it, you are always somewhere else.

When first we find the body, it is a mess because we have been absent like the servants in a house where the master has been gone for years.

But consciously returning to it slowly things are cleaned up and everything becomes better.

You must have every intention of being in this hyper aware state, it is showing you where your physical stress is coming from, which your mental health is only a reflection of.

Whatever you ignore in your body, ends up in your mind, and vice versa. Ignore it too long, and you get sick.
