How many hours per week are you prepared to devote to meditation? For how many years are you prepared to persevere? ☮️

My statement was intended for another poster who had replied to something I wrote earlier and our conversation ended at that point. ☮️

What do you mean by "soul"? Atman, Brahman, Shiva, jiva or something else? ☮️

The concept of individual awareness is the cardinal error from which all other errors flow. ☮️

I wrote "creation" in reply to another poster who had used the word. Whichever words are used, I suppose you might agree that they only indicate limited concepts that need to be transcended eventually if Enlightenment is to be fully realised? In any case, some food for thought might concern whether "the source" actually even ever departed, (i.e. separated) from "the source"? Does not every individual have their own individual experience of objects that they experience? Some people who have experienced Enlightnment do not experience those specific objects just as some do not experience your specific individual dreams or similarly, for example, visit the Niagara Falls or the Grand Canyon in waking life. If you said that, I'd agree with it fully. ☮️

Is creation imperfect? Does it need a helping hand from any individual, or is it necessary only to recognise and then swim with it? ☮️

Be aware that there is but a single track road to Enlightenment, whatever the apparent method. You must make yourself available to the Light & be prepared to die in its glory. On your rebirth, if you personalise it, you will find yourself set even further back than before. However, if you turn to the Light impersonally afterwards, it will mark the beginning of an indescribably fulfilled path on which you will be supported by the Light on every step of your way. ☮️

As is argued by the author of another article who says that there is a "Taxonomy of Fear [...] a pattern in the way speech is silenced" and claims that "understanding it can help us stand up to the illiberalism of this moment." https://www.persuasion.community/p/a-taxonomy-of-fear

Heart and Soul Nebulae 'Tis Light makes colour visible: at night red, green, and russet vanish from thy sight So to thee Light by darkness is made known: Since God hath none, He, seeing all, denies Himself eternally to mortal eyes. From the dark jungle as a tiger bright, Form from the viewless Spirit leaps to Light. Translated by R A Nicholson ☮️

Hey Nichole! Thank you for your New Year greeting. Happy and Peaceful New Year to you too. ☮️

Let there be Light! ☮️

I've copied this now edited post over from the Tea Appreciation Study Group thread order to avoid hijacking an excellent conversation amongst a group of tea connoisseurs. I'm just a tea pleb, so I can really only read and learn from them. There may also be some master brooch brewers or biochemists here. If so, I'm hoping that I might also learn something from them or at least from others beginning brewers like me. ____________________________

When an operation, no matter of what sort, is brought to a close at the right moment, the stoppage does it no harm and the agent herself is no worse for discontinuing her action. So, if life itself (which is nothing but the totality of our operations) also ceases when the time comes, it takes no hurt by its mere. cessation, nor is she adversely affected who thus brings the whole series of her operations to its timely conclusion. But the proper hour and term are fixed by nature: if not by a human's own nature (as for example by old age) then at all events by great Nature herself, by whose continuous renewing of her every part the Universe remains forever young and vigorous. Whatever serves the purpose of the Whole is kept forever young and blossoming. - Marcus Aurelius - ☮️

Sounds interesting. Which forum? ☮️

@3bob I'd like to encourage you get on with frying the rather tantalising fish that you previously published, as I feel that might help to dispel the somewhat disagreeable odour of self-basting goose, which continues to permeate this topic. ☮️

She forfeited that right by her actions and some British citizens seem to share that opinion[1] just as some Americans citizens seem to have no respect for Trump. Perhaps respect is a two-way street?
