Dear Francis, after all this years hearing you regularly, You still surprise me the way you come to the point so clearly, fresh! Thank you so very much dear teacher
Thanks for the light, not the Bud Light.😁But the True light in the answers and the questions. This who,what, where,why,how? It Seems it allows and spreads understanding for all of us to be recognized when appears for us. God Bless all to sense it.
One can clean the toilet and still have a good time if they find happiness that is not dependent on phenomena. Then all activities become goals in their own, because then we are not looking for an ultimate phenomenal goal anymore.
Cuando sientes que no te esfuerzas por nada y pospones de continuo (algo así como "yo mismo soy el posponer") y además agregas que no estas conforme con la vida que llevas pero no la cambias....como se llama ésto ? Que estoy ignorando ? Como descubro en mi la creencia de ser un ente separado y que camino tomar para sentir la verdadera felicidad ?
Creo que es bueno preguntarse quien es el que siente que no se esfuerza por nada, que no está conforme pero no cambia, que se pregunta que está ignorando y como puede descubrir en si la creencia de ser un ente separado... Quien es ese yo mismo que dice yo soy el posponer. En definitiva preguntarse la famosa pregunta "quien soy Yo" Cuando dices mis manos, mi cuerpo, mis padres, mis hijos, mi trabajo, mis miedos, mis dudas, mi historia, etc..., es evidente que no eres nada de eso. Que eres aquel que posee todas esas cosas, y veras que eso es lo mismo para todo el mundo. Es un buen principio 😉
OK, so “if nothing happens by chance”, why did I meet a female a couple of years ago who told me that my disability (a paralysed arm and leg as a result of a slab of concrete being dropped on my head at point blank range during an altercation) was a “manifestation of an emotional paralysis” a “soul wound”? I later found out that she is part of a New Age community called Human Design System that believes dogs will stop obeying humans in 2027. Was it to show me how deluded and full of bulls**t some people are or is her theory correct and she was actually my guru?
If you immediately knew that she is talking BS, then nothing new was learned. What could be interesting is to learn how to reason against such BS, rationally. BTW when you investigate the "nothing happens by chance" statement, then don't forget that Universal Consciousness (or "God") is in "benevolent indifference". Thus it doesn't want to punish or reward anyone for an act. It is not capable of anger or revenge, as those could only arise from lack, but Awareness doesn't lack anything. If it does something, the reasons for it cannot be understood from the POV of a human. Therefore it is a waste of time to speculate about the real reasons of events. Even bigger mistake is to make up things like that "soul wound", which even contradicts experience. The safest standpoint is "I don't know". Read the novel The Mysterious Stranger from Mark Twain, to see how complex causality can become.
@@MegaUpstairs Thanks for your reply. As I am open minded (and polite) I listened to what she was saying, as a friend. She seemed convincing, like Mormons and Jehovahs Witnesses do. Plus I didn’t want to rock the boat so to speak because I was a bit attracted to her and I had heard similar bizarre theories before she told me that. It was only after the break up of the friendship when I started researching her beliefs (Human Design) and I realised how deluded these people are that I became offended. Like, how fkin dare she impose her BS beliefs onto something so traumatic and devastating. And I feel like a fool for not challenging her at the time. Thanks for the book recommendation.
Why improving my health, job etc.?? Only a person needs to improve. Also I dont postpone, only a person postpones. No? All of these thoughts create time and thus suffering.
"How to distinguish between legitimate practical goals and a deeper sense of lack?" is a declarative sentence and therefore a question mark is incorrect.
The ? is indicative of the 'declarative statement' actually being a question put by the questioner we see here. You clearly caught the true deep meaning, but due to your innate tendencies you stayed on the surface nitpicking!

Greetings from Vienna! There are nice pictures from Segofia 2002, Centro De Juan De La Cross

I would like you to expend on “nothing happens by chance in Life “

@@kenjones102 For God's sake.
@@beachandbluesky1 Yes, because in karma yoga every action is an offering as are the results.
