Who have the most or who have the least are just figments of the Great Illusion conjured up by your ego designed to upset your mental and emotional stability.

I don't deny my emotions. I Destroy them.

Who knows what powers each person possess? Do you know, for sure, what powers the Lord Buddha or Jesus Christ had or didn't have? Anyway, the focus of this thread is not on the powers of any specific individual. Rather, the focus is on what do you do if you indeed possess the power to destroy this world so that a new better world can be reborn..

You forgot.. I am not my desires. I am not my emotions.

the whole purpose of our existence on planet earth is to train our mind to overcome the desires for happiness and the sufferings generated by such searches for happiness.. Denying your desires is the very epitome of spiritual training. If you cannot deny your desires, then you will never reach Enlightenment, you will never destroy your ego and you will be forever trapped in the cycle of rebirth and death for eternity. Man’s life has been centred round the physical body and its desires. To give up the belief that he is the physical body involves the giving up of all the desires pertaining to the physical body and the false values which they imply. The belief that he is his physical body is conducive to the physical desires and attachments; but the belief that he is other than his physical body runs counter to ac...cepted desires and attachments. Therefore the belief that he is his physical body becomes natural. It is easy to hold and difficult to uproot. On the other hand, belief that he is something other than his physical body seems to call for convincing proof. It is difficult to hold and easy to resist. All the same, when the mind is unburdened of all physical desires and attachments, the belief that he is his physical body is seen to be false and the belief that he is something other than his body is seen to be true. Even when a person succeeds in shedding the false belief that he is the physical body, he remains a victim of the false belief that he is his subtle body. His life is then centred round the subtle body and its desires. To give up the belief that he is the subtle body involves the giving up of all desires pertaining to the subtle body and the false values which they imply. Therefore the belief that he is his subtle body now becomes natural for him, and the belief that he is something other than his subtle body seems to call for convincing proof. But when the mind is unburdened of all desires and attachments pertaining to the subtle body, the person gives up the false belief that he is his subtle body as readily as he gave up the false belief that he was his physical body. This is not the end of false beliefs however. Even when a person abandons the false belief that he is his subtle body he cherishes the illusory belief that he is his ego-mind or the mental body. Man cherishes false belief because he relishes it. Throughout his long life as an individual soul he has clung fondly to the false idea of his separate existence. All his thoughts and emotions and activities have repeatedly assumed and confirmed but one affirmation, viz., the existence of the separate “I.” To surrender the false belief that he is the ego-mind is to surrender all that has seemed to constitute his very existence. In surrendering the false belief that he is his physical or subtle body it is necessary to surrender various desires and attachments. It is a giving up of something one has had for a long time. In surrendering the false belief that he is his ego-mind, he is called upon to surrender the very core of what he has thought himself to be. To shed this last vestige of falsehood is, therefore, the most difficult thing. But this last falsehood is no more lasting than the earlier falsehoods which had seemed to be unchallengeable certainties. It also has its ending, and it is shed when the soul renounces its craving for separate existence. DISCOURSES by Meher Baba

You will be lying to yourself if you indeed believe that your desires have never given you suffering. One should always use his mind to overcome the desires generated by the unevolved heart.

The heart is only a tertiary center when compared to the crown and pineal gland. The heart may have its own intelligence but one should always use the crown's intelligence and pineal gland's intelligence to overcome the faulty unenlightened intelligence of the heart. Cos the heart is as unevolved as it gets when compared to the mind, pineal gland and the crown. The Crown, incidentally, represents the infiniteness of the Universe and the Creator himself. When you tapped into the power of the Crown, you are connecting with the Creator himself. Desires may be started by the heart but one can always use the power of the crown and pineal gland.. ie the mind to overcome the unevolved desires of the heart. I don't strive for happiness nor do I deny happiness. I am not "happy" nor am I "sad". I am completely empty, in void, in emptiness. I am .. dispassionate.. completely empty of emotions.. whether it be positive or negative emotions..

the emotion of "happiness" is a tool used by higher dimensional beings to control lower dimensional beings like us humans.. it is like a drug.. the drug gives you a high so you are constantly searching and slaving to attain this high.. so the OP is wrong.. one should force the emotions to go the way your mind wants to .. and not let your mind be ruled by your emotions..

hey all, i am just gonna focus on the practical aspects of vegetarianism and let others waste their time and energies on the right and wrongs of vegetarianism vs meat consumption. i am an extremely lazy guy so i hate all the stirring and cooking and preparation and washing up.. furthermore, i find that all the smoke and steam from frying even light stir-frying cause me to have rather unhealthy skin.. so i have been goggling fast and easy ways of cooking vege dishes.. just a few hours ago, i came across this recipe titled "cooking pasta in a rice cooker"? so apparently, you can cook pasta in a rice cooker without the sauce drying up (i always thought that you have to cook pasta in a pan) .. now apply the same principles to cooking vegetables in a rice cooker.. you know how they have these frozen bags of vegs in the supermarkets? .. well just grab the frozen veges or freshly chopped veges.. dump them in the rice cooker.. take those asian packaged sauces in the supermarts (eg indian curry or pad thai) or conjure up a special sauce of your own from those hundreds of varieties of bottles of sauces out there.. dump the sauce in the rice cooker.. stir, flip the switch and walk off.. you are gonna find that you have one tasty, easy veg dish without too much cleaning up.. most importantly, you do not have to cook the veg 100% unlike meats! because of bacteria and germs living in meats, this is why it is gonna take more work, not impossible though, to cook meats in a rice cooker but with vegs, you don't have to worry about it not being cooked 100%.. in fact, you might not even want the vegs to be cooked 100% cos of the raw food theory or something.. so yeah.. why do i choose veg? cos it is cleaner, cheaper and much easier to cook and consume than meats! and there lie the practical aspects of vegetarianism vs meat consumption!

No one should be immortal if even one person has to die

If you know you only have a few months of your life left, what kind of spiritual practices would you do in order to prepare for your death?

Do Monks and Priests have the easiest life on Earth? It seems to me they have little to no stress compared to the average lay person. LOL.

Painful death, peaceful death.. all dies in the end.. what's truly fearful is not the death itself but what comes after death.. are you ready to meet Yama, kitty?

I am merely showing you what happens to the objects of your lust when they pass beyond this life. Do you still feel any lust for women or men when you see these pictures of corpses? Or are men your thingy instead? If so, I can post pics of dead male corpses instead. You should grow up and learn to handle the dark truth that all of us will be like those rotting female corpses one day.

Does the God of Death has the keys then? Contemplation on death helps us gain realization of the finitude and fragility of the body, helps dispel the illusion of our individuality and specialness, and motivates us to strive for liberation. Among the advantages of meditation on death and impermanence is that this awareness cuts through sensual desire, desire for rebirth, ignorance, and the conceit of the “I.” Because death deprives us the objects of our attachment, meditation is useful for cutting through these attachments. The primary benefit of meditation on death is that it motivates us to practice diligently

It is funny. Most humans spend their time, energy, resources worrying, planning and scheming to get the perfect life. The perfect house, the perfect career, the perfect woman/man, the perfect night of sex.. But no one, well no one I knows anyway, spend their time, energy and resources planning for the perfect death. Yeah.. If I get resurrected after my death, I am gonna write the book called "The Perfect Death"... RFLOL!!!... This movie is the perfect example of what I am talking about. Every single bloody character in that movie worrying and planning for the next fcuk but none of them planning for their death. Yet Death comes for us all. It makes me sick.

Do you really think you are the Creator who determines my own fate and destiny? You should wake up yourself to the reality that you are just another unimportant human on earth in the grand scheme of things who possesses very little to no power to change the world and its fate. I have already found the answers within me btw.

Humanity needs pain and anguish to change for the better. Not love and happiness.

Not depressed nor angry. I just feel very happy at the thought of leaving Earth.

nowadays, my only desire is to leave this earth.. any "advise"?

funnily enough.. most humans do not think that getting a mate or a drink is the very epitome of craziness.. once you realized the true reality of the world which we live in.. there will be no peace.. none whatsoever..
