I had meant to add something about that, myself, but I felt I had already gone on too long. tl;dr All is one, and so are you if you choose to and seek it.
You have to do all that yourself, though. Not even your god can do it for you. It's a weird sort of experiment and it only makes economic sense for a few people to risk it at this time. A different economic system could create more such opportunities. You have to fully commit to something unprovable which remains unprovable until you fully commit. You may even have to fully commit for many years, so it's a huge investment of resources. That makes it a risky experiment, especially when you go in knowing that you can't communicate your results in full, even if you somehow succeed. Others also have to choose, seek, and experience it for themselves in order to hone their own perceptions to perceive it.
Yes i totally agree..this is more or less leisure activity for me..i am retired and financially independent..and my wife takes care of most all of the day to day mundane chores of life..
Interestingly.. many of the so called enlightened individuals in history are folks either born into privilege or folks that are in a free place like this to DO AS THEY WILL..without the chains of culture..that do require a person to fit a normed mold to survive..and that is most definitely what i had to do to survive..until i gained financial independence..and could even afford to be totally free to pursue my own true will..without the interference of other folks..or without the societal requirement to fit the social norm...
I use the abstract symbol GOD.. but it is an energy of life to me..per positive..negative..dark..light..action..consequence and human flavored emotional..energetic..feelings and sensory perceptions overall...
There is no static form as far as i see..and for all i know this force may be expressed in someone else's life much different than mine..
As a silly little human being..i for one.. am not gonna be the one with all the answers..by far...or one to attempt to imprison the force that is GOD..in my own little illusion of what i understand as existence..in the ALLITIS...
Part of why i come here..is to hear the experiences of others..either negative..positive..dark or light..It is all part of the game of existence..that makes it ALL happen as far as i see....and i leave no stones unturned in my personal enlightening journey @ALL..
I always learn something from everyone i encounter..but i keep an open mind..
That is the greatest skill i have..
An open mind...
And in my opinion an open mind can be cultivated in the most closed of minds..
IF WILL persists...
And as a hyperlexic flavored autistic individual.. i read about 10 to 15 times as fast as the average human being..and type about 130 words a minute..so i do tend to go on and on..
But that is the nature of the BEAST i am...
i cannot imagine what a mind any slower would be ..unless i am comatose ..i guess.....
But 'trust me' IT is much slower and less of a headache..in volume and complexity in ever changing topics of information..than when i talk..in REAL LIFE...
AND my wife could tell ya all about that..in real life..2..;)and most of the others folks in my REAL life too....
HUMAN BEING FLESH AND BLOOD NON VERBAL communication is approximately 93% OF FULL HUMAN COMMUNICAITON..
THE CHI POWER I EMANATE..in real life..is much more than can be experienced in words or photos..or even videos on a silly little internet connection..it's about 10% of the whole equation..of my spiritual being..human...
It's A HUGE PART OF why the bible doesn't work well to get the FULL MESSAGE..OF WHAT HUMAN POTENTIAL REALLY IS...
THERE IS A GOOD REASON..some folks may have viewed Jesus as a hand of GOD in real life..
There is usually no mistaking and no forgetting an enlightened person in REAL life...
In fact..i wager..that anyone here..could call any store clerk in the Pensacola metro area in Florida..
and just ask about the big guy with sunglasses..who dances in reverse in stores..
And they could tell anyone here..much more about the real life.. me...
i get around..;)AND AROUND...
MUCH MUCH FURTHER..THAn this internet avenue for communication...:)
BUT I WILL IT..WITH THE ALL THAT IS..
THAT IS ALL...AS me as one WITH ONE!
But i could likely not do it..unless i am able to escape cultural norms..all the negative con-social emotions of life..illusory fears..
AND JUSTLY DO IT completely under..and OVER..
SACRED LOVE..
THAT IS WHAT EMPOWERS ME THE MOST..THE BLISS OF SACRED LOVE..ESCAPING ALL THE NEGATIVE AND DARK OF LIFE..AND ONLY VISITING it when i so choose to do so....either in REAL life..or here...in this small approximation of flesh and blood REAL life human and mother nature...interaction....:)
