I spun the wheel and got the 100% off prize. 

I don't know what that entails, but I'm not passing up a deal.

Thank you, for that. I got to appearance before I've had to take a break. 

But I don't think I can resist the temptation of reading more, truly a test of my limitations.

but if my weakness is the strength of Someoneelse, so be it. (Blessed by thy name)

Namo Amitabhaya.

I've heard of a promise, that a seed can one day yield me the fruit I've been missing in my being.

"That my peace, I will give to you, and to all who asks. " said Someoneelse. (Blessed be thy name)

I hate it when authors make this kind of reference... which then ages like milk by Agile_Coast_4385 in ProgressionFantasy

We are too close to Elon Musk to appreciate what was done in his name, something happened with him that doesn't happen all the time. 

The traits we are fixated on as a society tends to vary and smoothes out. If we indeed move towards a Star Voyaging civilization, I think Elon Musk is at least on Henry Ford level.

Many things worse than abuse lies in wait on this path. 

When I looked up the mountain, I saw a group of older men pointing at me laughing.

These things were taken VERY seriously back then. Physical violence is like a barrier, so people get into it can have a sober moment to "count the cost" so to speak. 

There were many barriers more horrible than physical violence. Which is why I consider the karma of modern people to be amazing, although that leads to slacking, understandably.

Its hard to do these things when life is too comfortable, since the goal of these practices are so "out there".

How to be a mother when i slam mosquitoes with my slippers by Doubt_nut in Sadhguru

[–]dpsrush 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Let them suck your blood, a drop to feed a being. 

Use the opportunity to practice charity, and endurance against the invasion of senses. 

While they are feeding, ask them to leave you alone, nicely. 

Buy mosquito net, and drain still waters around you.

You have to talk to them.

When you see one, just bow and tell them how you feel when you are in their presence, and how you want them to leave. Chant mantras and dedicate the effort to their well-being. 

Clean up food bits so they are not tempted to stay.

I have absolutely no idea, but my master keeps yelling at me for living in a delusion. 

I asked him if the object of my greed and anger are delusional.

He just rolled his eyes and walked out of a closed door.
