Blessed2 Posted March 19, 2023 Share Posted March 19, 2023 Give up! Give up! Quit the healing work, spiritual work, integration work, learning work! Embrace suffering! Embrace weakness, shortcoming, failure! Embrace the attachment, monkey mind, neuroticism, addiction, comfort zone and laziness! Embrace the brokenness, sickness, incompleteness! Embrace depression, insecurity, unworthiness, anger, worry, disappointment, impatience, pessimism and boredom! What comes to mind of these words? Whatchu think? Whatchu feel?

MetaSage Posted March 19, 2023 Share Posted March 19, 2023 when your experience is allowed to be what it is, the possibility for being calm arises. Even if you're going through pain or suffering. Allowing seems to transform your experience. You may transcend and become free of stuff like emotions. Quote Mention Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't give in to reasonable doubt temptation to believe tomorrow will be any better than life got to this point in time evolving naturally limited to adapting in the moment here.

I have no problem with hermaphrodites just to be clear. Cute but concerning. Thought provoking on my end.

Joseph Maynor Posted March 23, 2023 Share Posted March 23, 2023 (edited) There is a time and place for work like this just like there's a time and place to strengthen that sense of I and I alone can do and can be. It just depends where you are on your path. But if you're already strong in the Feminine it doesn't make sense to double down on that -- it makes more sense to break out of your comfort-zone and integrate some Masculine. I know people who are very strong in one but they're weak in integrating the other. There's a huge fear there in some people. Some people don't have that fear. It's almost like some people are restricted to using one side of the brain only and some people can use both sides. That's just an analogy. I've gone through periods of time on my path where I felt exactly like you do. It's a very important area of development work; teachings designed for a very important but still specialized area of development work. But don't let me tell you what to do either. You might be trying to attain the Divine Feminine. You might be so close to that where it's in reach.

Its funny you criticize people here for talking about nonduality(when that is the theme of the forum( when you use your own jargon with your own meanings all the time instead of "speaking to people in terms they can understand" Quote Mention Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you aren't going to comment as to the merits of what I said, don't bother trolling me. I'm waiting for someone to tell me there is no you. Hehe.
