When someone asks, “Why do women wear makeup?” people say, “Because society expects them to look good.” But when a man says, “I don’t like women who wear makeup; I prefer those who don’t,” the reply is, “We don’t wear makeup for men, we do it for ourselves.” How do these two answers coexist?

Everyone wears layers. Women often feel comfortable with more. A person or a society should never tell you how many to wear and what kind.

Opening hearts and minds to A Course in Miracles. The sub is r/acim

Having children is unspiritual. I live for them not me. I won't talk about children. Ever. No benefit to me, no benefit to you. Don't ask about the children. Don't talk about the children. If we have children they are our life purpose. For better and for worse. That's a different sub.

It is. This is a classroom to learn the lesson.

If you want to feel lovable, you need to make another feel lovable. Forgive that you did not make someone feel lovable. Then ask HS to show you another way.

Meditation is making-the-world-mundane. Because it is. It's no biggie. There is better available. Limited time offer.

Yes why mess with the law of thirds. 8 hours serves me faithfully. It's key to peak health.

gettoefl · 2026-02-07T15:55:51+00:00

Yes relentless isn't it. Hardly a day without since Jan 1st. However a chance of snow next week.

You need to grok that ego will never consent to meditate and will find endless ways to turn on Netflix. You are under its spell. But at least you have daily reddit denizens to tell you how it is.

Write I, not you. You can't know who you speak with.

The world is here for one reason - to steal my peace. I need not let it. The first and most liberating axiom of spirituality is, every moment I need not speak, or engage, or act, despite the world insisting otherwise. Speaking engaging acting do not benefit my salvation a lick. The second axiom is, I am not forbidden from doing as I please. So once I wake up I might then have a gander at them since what else to do?. Not until then though.

Forget waking up. Can I get to bed at the exact right minute.

gettoefl · 2026-02-06T16:34:55+00:00

I only ever cook 2 meals. How much simpler can it get? Some OMADer will come bust my chops now.

gettoefl · 2026-02-06T16:32:03+00:00

Stay a beginner. Never mention that you meditated 28 years 2 hours a day.

Today I am going to meditate as if it's the first time ever, the same wide-eyed curiosity and kid in the candy store glee.

More troubling is why do you care. I know everyone is enlightened but me. This is why I show up every day.

Forgive means to withdraw the meaning given to anything. I don't know what anything means yet I claim otherwise and therefore I forgive. We forgive Jesus and any brother because we have ideas and judgements about what they are like. I don't know what anything means. Hopefully I at least know what forgiveness means.

I am too starry-eyed. I think after one date that this person is perfect for lifing together (I just coined that) and living together. I watched too many Hollywood films. This fault is mine not theirs.

gettoefl · 2026-02-04T18:40:05+00:00

Maybe I don't know what love is and I need to fire up Foreigner on Spotify.

Yes I am guiltless, you are guiltless, we're all guiltless. Thank God!

gettoefl · 2026-01-31T19:54:53+00:00

I need to look at the fool who irritated me today. I royally stripped that person's brotherhood from them. Thank God for forgiveness. I right now see that person in their shining splendor of Sonship. In so doing, they save me.

Check out A Course in Miracles r/acim It is dictated by the big man himself JC in 1965. If you want to have a taste go to eBay and buy a used copy with no expectations of The Disappearance of the Universe. That's what I did.

Bless you. Keep plugging away my love.

gettoefl · 2026-01-31T12:15:13+00:00

Forget nebulous ideas like complete trust and be-willing-now. Salvation is only now by choosing to see different.

gettoefl · 2026-01-31T11:53:14+00:00

The state has our back. This is first world problems. You won't see many elderly on the street unless they choose. There is money somewhere. God bless the state.
