| Question: How do I find recent activity? Posted: 23 Sep 2016 04:21 AM PDT I always check that my position when I wake up is different to when I went to sleep. This is some reassurance that I'm still alive. If you're referring to YA go to "notifications" over there on the left at the top of the page margin. If you're referring to having your bank account emptied best ask Yahoo who they allowed into your personal details! |
| Posted: 22 Sep 2016 08:55 PM PDT I put God in quotations because I am using him as an example of "love" itself. Jesus, my religions leader, said to "deny yourself" - such a simple phrase has helped me do it. I never earnestly meditated before, it only frustrates me. Today, I instead tried to "deny myself" as Jesus suggested. So I choose 1 of my hindrances to deny, VANITY, and for 4 hours I tried very hard to hate it. Not only "let it go" as Buddhists say, but HATE it as God hates sin. I achieved this in 4 hours, things I said to myself with complete conviction (from the bottom of my heart): Because I truly convinced myself of these things, I think I finally "denied myself" vanity. Immediately after I felt at peace like never before. This wasn't Nirvana but I think I COMPLETELY detached from vanity. It felt warm, "rosy", "in the moment", tranquil, happy, I felt things differently. As I said I've never meditated before, but when I was in this state I could not get "bored" and my mind was very quiet as if thoughts left with ease. But the feeling is gone now because I let myself become vain again. Now, this state was everything I described BUT not "love". What is nirvana if it doesn't bring me closer to the ecstasy of God/heaven? When I achieve a more perfect nirvana, will I just get "calm" or also "the joy of compasion"? |
| Question: Do you agree with the quote that, "A Drunk Mind Speaks A Sober Heart"? Posted: 22 Sep 2016 11:02 AM PDT I do see what the statement is an attempt to say, but it rubs me the wrong way. When is the heart ever sober? I think it fits better to say, "Sober speaks mind; Drunk speaks heart." The heart is emotional; it is always drunk (so to speak). The mind is rational; it is always sober. Being drunk is a great excuse for a lot of people to say stuff that is, too embarrassing (because it's too stupid, too inappropriate, or too hurtful to people that they don't want to hurt, or because it makes one too emotionally exposed or vulnerable) for them to say when they are sober, but I've found that listening to what may seem like a bunch of babbling, and mean or maudlin bullcrap, is a good way to find out what is really bothering a person. If one can note these kinds of things, and bring it up and deal with it when everyone has sobered up, it can be helpful. But really, it is so much more healthy and effective to get issues out with sober courage rather than liquid courage. |
| Question: Do you think most people envy beauty? Posted: 22 Sep 2016 06:20 AM PDT I see two types of beauty. Flaky beauty and real beauty. (flaky, pronounced flake-eee. Not reliable) Flaky means, fake and does stuff against ones intentions and wants and desires. Real means, them self. Grown and expanded in a way that brings them to a higher level. Those who can't tell the difference will envy everything as they walk off the bridge because one of the people in the front of the line were told to jump off. The other become beautiful them self. I don't even think you can envy real beauty, you just know about it and become it. Fake beauty is all over the place and can kill you like the greek guy Narcis. |
