Only Self-Realization gives you true rest.
>>84735135Don't you mean self-actualization?
>>84735161Actually, OP, forget it.I'm an idiot, you're right.
>>84735161>>84735166You're always welcome, my friend.
>>84735135But I have nothing to self-realise, I've known this for a long time. The only higher goal I can see for myself is to be unbothered
>>84735190We can see you're identified with the ego still. This is not how you use denial. You use denial by denying what is not real.
>>84735204You are not a 'we', you might use 'we' if you're writing a proof, not if you're pondering a bit
>>84735250There is only One. Wake up from your nightmare.
Self realization is over stated, over romanticized. It's ordinary as a lot of gurus say. Chop wood, carry water. Not fireworks, not anything crazy really. Just equanimity for the most part
>>84735509>being the ego is better than being what you really areEnjoy being a cattle.
>>84735135There is no true self to realize. The self is a product of an everchanging flux of relational forces that we may or may not have influence on. The constant change itself, the becoming, is what is real, the idea that there is a real stable self that you can unlock if you just meditate enough, or if you subscribe to enough courseras whatever is the lie.
>>84736279>we may or may not have influence onThis sounds like doubt.
>>84735135My self-realization is not providing this disgusting world with my labor
>>84737013Too bad, because you have only one right in life: to work.
>>84735135There is a way of living in the world that is not here, although it seems to be. You do not change appearance, though you smile more frequently. Your forehead is serene; your eyes are quiet. And the ones who walk the world as you do recognize their own. Yet those who have not yet perceived the way will recognize you also, and believe that you are like them, as you were before.The world is an illusion. Those who choose to come to it are seeking for a place where they can be illusions, and avoid their own reality. Yet when they find their own reality is even here, then they step back and let it lead the way. What other choice is really theirs to make? To let illusions walk ahead of truth is madness. But to let illusion sink behind the truth and let the truth stand forth as what it is, is merely sanity. (https://acim.org/acim/en/s/561#1:1-2:6 | W-155.1:1-2:6)
