Finally, I got it!

You are obviously high. Chuck Norris is coming for you!!

Something I "got" recently was this:

It is not a moral necessity to suffer in the process of bringing about benefits for others. If you yourself benefit in the process, there is no problem at all!

If you do things to the best of your ability and you enjoy doing it and it benefits others, the fact you are not suffering for their benefit doesn't make you any less of a person.

The only clause is that if someone else is suffering for others, sharing their load with them would be commendable.

The "Psychology, Philosophy and Metaphysics" part of ATS has a lot of divine sparks and embers burning in it. Why don't we all push it to a full-blown fire that pulls in everything around it?

This is one of the most frequented web forums on the internet, and THE most frequented conspiracy-related forum, including "paranormal" subjects.

Ok, you got it, now let's go.

If we keep putting together the hot coals we just need someone to blow on us to get a full-blown fire!
I'm waiting for more coals and more wind-blowers.


Since we don't have enough of both yet, I'm trying to be both at the same time.
Am I doing a good job?

This thread gets published but threads about obama get declined? WTF.

This thing that some people get is not something to see (actually, it could be, but lets just pretend it is not just for the sake of the cause), it's more like something you feel.

And watching a video of the sunset is not feeling the sunset.

But that does not mean we have to just sit back and let it do what it wants with us.
We can alter the flow to better humanity.

I don't think you understand.
What "it" wants it's what "we" want.

Damn, didn't think I would have to dig deep like this here on ATS.

not sure if its been mentioned but this reminds me of the 'conversations with god' books by neale donald walsh same sort of theme

I think there is no "it" per se ie: nothing of everything ie: no distinctions, no separation, so to get it, is to get that there's nothing to get, nothing that needs to be done, nothing to grasp, push, prod, analyze or distinguish.

What he seems to have gotten is what Zen Buddhism calls the natural mind, which he can allow to function naturally, having faith in it, as an intrinsic part of the everything that is nothing that is everything now.

There can be no description, since that would involve a distinction or a differentiation or an evaluation of some kind.

In the ancient days, students who approached their masters with questions sometimes, with certain masters, recieved nothing in response except blows with a stick! When one of them went away disheartened and sought out another master for answers, he was told that he was exceedingly ungreatful to the first one, at which point he "got it", and went back to his first master, this time hitting HIM with a stick, saying "there is nothing much to your Buddhism".

I think that at it's heart, this awakening thing, brings about a sense of mirth, like you got some inside cosmic joke, but one which you would have a very hard time retelling without appearing totallly insane.

If you have it, you can generally clear it up with an anti-biotic.

Just see your doctor.

Second time someone comes with that.
And I just love it.
Keep it coming.

Look, and it can't be seen.
Listen, and it can't be heard.
Reach, and it can't be grasped.

Above, it isn't bright.
Below, it isn't dark.
Seamless, unnamable,
it returns to the realm of nothing.
Form that includes all forms,
image without an image,
subtle, beyond all conception.

Approach it and there is no beginning;
follow it and there is no end.
You can't know it, but you can be it,
at ease in your own life.
Just realize where you come from:
this is the essence of wisdom.

I can't think of a way to show you it!



Are we doing a good job? Hahaha! I don't have any idea!

I'm thinking about going around to various esoteric forums and trying to show them that their contributions would receive much more attention and thus feed the fire that much more, if they posted here. I'm also trying to think of more threads, more to-the-point threads, but this is a very good one imo.

I think you've barely scratched the surface.
My opinion.

I got it, but its not in my nature to care for myself, i am a selfless person who worries and wants to help the rest of humanity that is not corrupt and being herded like sheep to the rhythm of the war drums.

I will ask this question here as well, WHAT can we do to stop this madness?

The only answer ive ever gotten to this came to me telepathically from I dont know where, But apparently the world must become corrupt, the governments must create NWO and tyranny in order for God to come and save us all.

I dont know about all of you, but Im not that kind to sit back and watch as everything around me closes in. They want us to believe we are alone in this life, in this galaxy, in this universe, they want us to believe we are always under threat (we are, from THEM) they want us to give away our freedoms and liberties for false securities, but anyone who trades one for the other loses both.

They want to take away our means of free communications via the internet, they dont want the truth out there. Im sure as I type this right now, unknown negative forces are starting to realize what it is im actually doing, and are plotting to counter act this.

They want you to be paranoid of all truths, believe lies, condition you to where if someone says ANYTHING against the government, they are crazy, conspiracy theorists, when they have no idea about anything at ALL.

Im tired of wasting my time with brainwashed sheep, but what can we do?

WHAT THE HELL CAN WE DO?

It comes with a complete loss of care and concern, but one which does not make you not compassionate or sympathetic, since you are now operating from the frame of reference which embraces everything, and therefore has love for everything.

So you don't care, have no concern, and don't give a # and from this place of oneness and equanimity, you finally have the capacity to love one and all with equanimity, even in the midst of suffering, chaos, war, whatever, for it's all part of the same one thing, which is you.

It's both self centered, but with no self at all, while accepting one's own self (non-self) fully, as being of no significance. And so such a person can become very funny or charming, because they can no longer take "themselves" seriously, or too seriously. They become exceedingly curious about others, and life and circumstances, absent any judgement whatsoever. Curious, non-attached, compassionate observers, no longer invested in an outcome, and therefore able to bring the right type of thought and action to any situation, spontaneously and without much thought.

The ordinary, natural man - the way we were designed to function.

Opinions are useless.
Not if you are Alex (Alex IS the paradox) though.
But that's just my opinion.

I'll sub in for him while he sleeps.

You suffer from too much care.

God is everywhere and everything, and it can get as bad as we want, before it gets better, so why push the envelope? Hell has no bottom, and heaven is always here now, in potentia.

We ourselves are what is in the way, our separate selves, our cares, our worries.

So don't worry, be happy.

I got it...

I used it...

I sold it on ebay for 12 bucks (plus shipping).
