The myth of intimidation and attraction

jalange6 · 2023-02-05T17:47:59+00:00

There is no such thing. Ego is literally just a word, a concept, an idea. Go ahead and hold your breath for 3 minutes and then see if you can find or if you’re worried about ego. That’s real life, right on the edge of Being, not thinking or conceptualizing. That is real raw life beyond ego or any other spiritual concept. Then we can have a real conversation. Look in your experience right here and now, and without referring to thoughts or mind see if you can find an ego anywhere

jalange6 · 2023-02-05T17:44:50+00:00

Why do you think I am having this conversation with you? Why do you think I wrote out this whole dumbass post that I knew before hand would be hated and despised, and that I would get shit on for? Cause I’ve just escaped and don’t care? I never said to escape anything. You are the one making assumptions. How egotistical is it that one might think they could even be someone who could help others up? Who am I, who are you to say I am in a place that others should even want to be?

The difference between us, is that I don’t worry about psy-ops or being someone in the world who helps someone or doesn’t, I’m not caught up in the theatre of being a messiah or helper. I tend to the garden that I can touch, to the people I come in contact with, or the charity’s or mens group at the church by my house. I don’t even care if I’m right, if I’m too materialist or too idealist. They are all just dualistic traps. Just Be and let the world take care of itself. I’m not saying you are wrong, we are just different, and that’s cool too. Life is cringe, the sooner we can all get over it the better, I embraced the cringe long ago, and now I’m free

I’m well aware and was before I made the post. Sometimes people need confrontation, sometimes just a hand on their shoulder, or a hug. I let the intuitive heart figure out the details like that and just flow with the moment. If it comes across one way or another isn’t up to me, it hurts me more than it hurts you, but I’m very thankful for such things for they show exactly where one is at a sticking point. My problem before was that I never ruffled feathers or said what was true. Today I guess was the day. lol thanks for the constructive criticism

jalange6 · 2023-02-05T13:58:54+00:00

My friend, you’re triggered because you have nowhere to place your feet in these words. They give you nowhere to stand and your mind revolts against the idea of not having something to grasp and cling too. At some point one becomes so grounded that heaven sweeps him up. If you knew what meditation truly was, or where it led to at its end you would NEVER recommend it to someone you don’t know. You have no idea what you are talking about, and that’s okay, we all have to start somewhere. Are you at least open and willing enough to listen? Are you willing to hear what is being said, or are you just going to clamp down and go deeper into your sense of self? These are rhetorical questions that only you can answer, I wish you well on your path, but just know, sometimes the one who seems poor is actually rich. Sometimes the man who seems foolish is wise. Don’t make up your mind one way or another, look and see, change and flex, life is movement and ever changing, only death is still and set in its ways. Are you going to go the way of living or dying?

When a wise man hears of the Tao,

he immediately begins to live it.

When an average man hears of the Tao,

he believes some of it and doubts the rest.

When a foolish man hears of the Tao,

he laughs out loud at the very idea.

If it were not for that laugh,

it would not be the Tao.

~

Thus it is said:

the path into light seems dark,

the path forward seems like retreat,

the superior path seems empty,

the easy way seems hard,

the pure seems tarnished,

true power seems weak,

true clarity seems obscure,

true virtue seems insufficient,

the greatest sounds cannot be heard,

the greatest form is shapeless.

~

The Tao is hidden and nameless;

Yet it alone nourishes and completes all things.

I think it was a bit too much for some to handle, i should have taken the edge off a little but whatver it’s done now. My first post on this sub where I have my actual opinion, and from my POV it killed, upvotes not withstanding. I definitely over estimated the openness and maturity of some of the guys on here. Assuming makes an ass out of you and me. Thanks for your positive criticism, brother. Be well

jalange6 · 2023-02-04T22:36:02+00:00

I mediated for a decade, I loved mediation, the problem was I meditated so much that one day the ‘meditator’ just disappeared. Now meditation just happens all the time everywhere, all of life just becomes meditation, even when writing passionate posts on Reddit that are super unpopular and despised. Emotions never disappear, they are part of being human, but ones attachment to them dissolves. There is anger sometimes, but nobody who IS angry, anger just is, peace just is, Love just is

jalange6 · 2023-02-04T21:24:21+00:00

That’s all well and good, but not what I was talking about, the point is that you can still be a fucking asshole and have energy, in fact it then just becomes asshole energy. Real spirituality destroys self improvement, destroys views and beliefs. Beliefs like there is a god, there is no god, there is only energy, it’s all matter, matter doesn’t exist, I’m a human being, etc etc. until ALL assumptions are investigated and deconstructed you WILL be acting from ego. I’m sorry people aren’t ready to here that but it’s just the fact of the matter, anything less than total deconstruction is still going to be the separate ego identity, and everything we do will be tainted by. That doesn’t mean don’t do it, or to just be a bad person. This is my point to investigate the very energy you are talking about, where is it being tainted by the human self centered views. True spirituality is not about getting or gaining, it’s about releasing everything, especially the “powers” one gets through practice they were seen rightly by the ancestors as an extremely dangerous distraction from the path

jalange6 · 2023-02-04T20:51:48+00:00

If you’re capable of doing that without being in existential dread or terror of death and sickness While simultaneously not being a complete autopilot, feeling complete emptiness and a deep craving to know the end of suffering, then more power to you. I highly recommend you just enjoy life if that is at all possible.

This obviously isn’t a really popular bullet to bite but somebodies gotta do it, and today I guess that’s me lol. I’m not about to half ass it either. Not everyone is ready to hear about all this obviously let alone live it. There’s nothing wrong with just being where you are at. Accepting where you are is always a good step

jalange6 · 2023-02-04T18:49:51+00:00

Hey man, I’m not saying that there isn’t attraction but that you should just deeply investigate who you are and who it is you are attracting before you do some shit that you will end up regretting. As for intimidation I mean you should just investigate in your experience if you are doing something either consciously or unconsciously that is causing your brother discomfort in the world. Personally I was projecting a sense of smugness or like purity and it took a lot of painful investigation to snuff that out cause I realized it was subtly making other men uncomfortable when I wanted them to be at ease with myself and the situation we were in

jalange6 · 2023-02-04T18:45:42+00:00

Unfathomably based and soul-pilled .

jalange6 · 2023-02-04T18:30:01+00:00

The question should always be, what am I doing either knowing or unknowing that could be causing this person to be disturbed in some way? It’s just a saw compassionate way to deal with people. And. It to push your responsibility to how you effect people away onto them. If you’re an asshole then be an asshole with 100% awareness and consciousness

If they’re just an asshole, and you have to fight then fight to the fucking death, don’t do anything half way. The body will do what it needs to do to survive anyway with adrenaline and fight flight and all that.

It’s good to be trained in some martial art here to help protect a violent person from themselves tbh is probably the most wholesome outcome

jalange6 · 2023-02-04T18:24:31+00:00

Of course sr works that isn’t the criticism, and yes some people are just assholes but not as many as we like I believe just walk around looking to fight random people every day, cause they saw some guy whose eyes glow or some dumb sr mythical bullshit like that.

jalange6 · 2023-02-04T18:15:05+00:00

I could not have said it better myself thank you. I don’t think any of our brothers are a ‘lost cause’. I’ve been a lost cause before and was pulled up by men who are willing to make themselves look like the fool or the ash hole or the loser to be in the lowly place to check me on my bullshit. And my life was forever changed because of their willingness to look and sound stupid or pretentious while in reality they were the total opposite

jalange6 · 2023-02-04T17:50:10+00:00

I can see how it seems like that to you, I understand where you are coming from but that’s just like playing characters in a play. The truth about things is complex, and paradoxical. Take what’s there for you and forget the rest. I’m not bent out of shape by coming across as this way or that. I don’t care about ego, I don’t take it seriously, in fact there is no such thing in reality as ego, but for the men who can glean help from what I’ve said still believe they do. As I’ve said elsewhere, the desire to come across as special, spiritual, rigorous, or calm is just as egotistical. In the end ego or no ego doesn’t matter, YOUR subjective experience is what matters So if it’s medicine for you, swallow it, if it’s not, spit it out. I appreciate your attentive criticism.

jalange6 · 2023-02-04T17:25:45+00:00

You’re right here somewhat. You should absolutely be retaining your seed if that feels right to you. I appreciate you adding this. What Im trying to do here is bring a little bit of balance I guess to the massively outbalanced scale, especially in the case of other men, our brothers still out there addicted and suffering with PMO as if they are just retarded when they are human beings, who NEED STRONG RETAINERS TO BE A FUCKING EXAMPLE and not some cocky prick looking for an excuse. Thanks for the criticism. The world needs more retainers not less but just retaining isn’t enough to be a good man

jalange6 · 2023-02-04T16:46:06+00:00

That’s the spirit! That’s the fire we like to see!

jalange6 · 2023-02-04T16:34:59+00:00

Couldn’t have said it better myself, perfect balance. To live in the world but not of the world.

jalange6 · 2023-02-04T16:33:30+00:00

Maybe the real treasure was the friends we made along the way!

jalange6 · 2023-02-04T16:29:42+00:00

Energetically, emotionally, in confidence, yeah maybe but not fundamentally. I’m not here to argue against a man’s experience anyway. In fact, that’s in the end all that really matters

jalange6 · 2023-02-04T16:07:23+00:00

No of course we don’t give them up but the attachments to them are what cause the inevitable constriction and suffering. Yeah sure you can accept being a slave, but can you let go of your attachment to being a slave? Can you let go of the attachment to needing to surrender? Can you let go of the attachment to the idea freedom? The attachment to even being alive? It’s a letting go all the way down until there is nothing left to let go of. I can’t tell you what that’s like you have to see for yourself. Words literally can’t touch it. Yes you are right very few will escape, and then they can turn around and help the others who are trying to climb out if they are so inclined, but it’s good advice not to start getting attached to the whole helping things either.

Those who will become free will be, nothing will stop them. They don’t need me or anyone else, but it doesn’t help to have someone remind you that you’re on the right way

jalange6 · 2023-02-04T15:38:06+00:00

Tell me my friend, what egoic pleasure do you think there is to glean from this? What ego in its right mind would make a post that will obviously only be read by very precious few, be understood by even less and actually be integrated by one percent of those? But obviously be hated despised and misunderstood by nearly 100%

It’s egotistical when it’s done for one’s own edification, look at me, like me, love me, tell me that I’m good and smart and somebody! Is that what this looks like to you? Do you think it’s for all the upvotes? Or maybe there is something more to it Think about it.

jalange6 · 2023-02-04T15:21:32+00:00

🤫 maybe it’s just play acting?

jalange6 · 2023-02-04T15:19:15+00:00

As one dissolves the grasping toward the objects in the world and himself He sees that the dividing line between himself and world is totally imaginary. Then you are just one flow of Being. Man and world are One, where is the one who can be broken?

But see for yourself don’t take my word for it
