Jose Reyes said:Do you actually understand WHO and WHAT these VAMPIRES are... those things sucking our blood and draining all our human energy?

So that's what you were thinking? Sorry, I guess we weren't on the same page then...
What I was talking about was something else entirely, something way more "harmless." 😁

The ones you're bringing up... they drained their own people a long time ago, so they definitely didn't even cross my mind. 😂

I get what you're saying, for instance, I find Buddha to be one of the most disgusting 😁, but I still wouldn't hold them responsible.
Just like I wouldn't blame you if you told me to jump off a bridge and I actually did it. 😁

They aren't keeping them safe. It’s not like Jack Harris3 is being stingy or anything, they just... let things slide a little bit... 😁
When your head starts spinning from sheer weakness, it becomes way too easy to reach for a heavy hitter like a shotgun or maybe some silver bullets... 😁
And whatever they ended up swallowing, it just keeps regenerating over and over again. And so it goes... 😁

ENLIGHTENED MASTER said:Is it a "polarization" of the "self" between the "visionary" and the "ego"?
Or just "schizophrenia" within an individual consciousness?

And then, if you ask me, there’s also that ONE "vampire"... the one sucking the life and blood right out of people as indecisive as you all are...

So, I went ahead and asked my two versions of Joe Biden.

Microsoft told me, "What kind of vampires are you talking about? Stop talking nonsense." 🙄

Elon Musk said that whenever Microsoft seems a little too pale, he sends him to bed as punishment. 😁

But then again, maybe that's not even what Elon Musk said... He can't really write anything down, and you can't trust a word from Microsoft. They both just twist everything to suit themselves... 😁

Kate Lee12 said:no, just like she said, everyone’s looking at this from a totally different angle... she mentioned that this whole "waiting room" phase is basically how you finally arrive at "that"... whatever that actually means.
😁

Honestly, in that waiting period, you just get hit with sudden clarity out of nowhere, and there's nothing you can do about it.
I guess I'm just trying to wrap my head around what spirituality even is.
It's become such a massive buzzword lately, but for three years now, I still haven't been able to pin down what it actually signifies...😁
Spiritual Teacher?! in Spirituality ·
Kate Lee12 said:So, based on what you just wrote, you're saying "enlightenment" has absolutely nothing to do with "spirituality"? ???????? (adding a few extra question marks this time 😁)

Hey Kate, do you even have a clue what on earth "spirituality" actually means? 🤔
Kick me if I'm wrong, but I honestly don't grasp the definition of that word at all... 😁
It seems like every single person you ask will give you a completely different answer. 😂

Kate Lee12 said:whether I've actually lost my mind or not doesn't even matter... because, honestly, I don't even exist... though, maybe there’s just some kind of "program" running a "simulation" of me instead... 🙂

😂😂😂
Rz started laughing! That's exactly how it should be. 😍

grizli said:.. once you finally see the light, I guess you realize that searching for anything at all is just an illusion....

You’re still driving me absolutely crazy, but I have to admit... your posts are getting smarter. 👍
If only I could figure out if you actually mean what you say... 😁

nimblecobra79 said:So basically, every sin carries a bad consequence, and because of that consequence
it becomes almost impossible to choose good, creating this endless loop...

Not quite.
The whole point of a bad consequence is just to show you that what you did wasn't actually a brilliant move.
That consequence is there to nudge someone into not doing it again—essentially helping them choose good.
Nothing more than that...
What would happen to us then? We wouldn't exist, because that would lead to ultimate death.

It would be the same as it is now.
Some people pay attention to the consequences and learn, others don't...
And as for ultimate death, we can't really talk about that since even non-ultimate death hasn't been proven yet... 😁
No, if someone, just like Jesus did, takes our suffering away through their own pain, then we can finally break free from that enchanted circle.

But He didn't take anything away, really.
Bad things will still have bad consequences, and people are still going to suffer.
And that’s why we can all allow our essence (God) to develop us—our consciousness and understanding—making the choice of good easier and more natural.

We could have done that since the beginning of time.
Except humans tend to get too full of themselves, spitting on the very God they claim to believe in by making His work conditional on our "permission"... and you keep insisting that our essence is God.
If that's true now, it was true from the start.
There's still no real explanation for the sacrifice.
The same essence (God) has always existed, the same possibilities, the same laws, the same sins and consequences...
So what exactly did Jesus change with His death?

hollowviper72 said:...there just isn't any willingness to realize that.

Not him either. 😁

So, how could Buddha have even gone looking for something if he wasn't entirely sure it actually existed? I mean, he didn't even know what it was supposed to look like, right? 😁
And are you really certain that once he reached the end of his journey, he actually found exactly what he was searching for... and not just some completely different thing altogether? 😁

Also, how did Buddha actually reach enlightenment in the first place? Is there any real record of that happening?
I’m talking about that sudden "aha!" moment... Did he arrive at it through intense, active searching, or did he just sit down under a tree to catch his breath, take a break from the grind, and then suddenly—just like that—it all clicked? 😁

Jose Reyes said:What’s so strange about the idea that poets don't actually think?😁 😁 😁 😁 😁 😁 😎 😲

Hmm... So they just absorb everything regardless? 🤔 😛

Jose Reyes said:Real hustlers always snatch up the best opportunities.
Master John doesn't even notice them.

I guess you could say he’s just choosing to look the other way.
Boom!😛 😎

The only part you actually got right was the bolded bit. 😛

But honestly, I haven't really had anything worth grabbing yet... 😢 😂
Jose Reyes said:Master John isn't even thinking about it anymore. (See the post above)

Jack Harris3 is even further off than that. 😂
Spiritual Teacher?! in Spirituality ·
Jose Reyes said:If he didn't have it, what would even be the difference between you and Master John?

And you really think there is one? 😁

The Baron actually picked up some Latin flair back in the day...

I told him I wouldn't mind at all if he tossed a new bone my way. That’s all... 😛
So, if you've got something tucked away, you can either throw it to me voluntarily, or let it fall to the floor and I'll just snatch it up. 😁

I'll give you a little bite as thanks, obviously. A little tail wagging, whatever you want... 😁

Jose Reyes said:Man, this "master" dropped that third quote ages ago.

I know, I saw it way back on that thread of yours.
But I actually dig this one too:
Back in his old-school forum days, John used to say more than once
that you can't even see or recognize ENLIGHTENMENT.

Now you'll probably jump in and tell me that applies to those who aren't enlightened. 😁
Or that an enlightened person will always recognize another. 😁
So I'm gonna go hunt down that quote where you claim every enlightenment is unique and ask if there's some kind of secret code you get when you reach it... 😁
And then we can circle back to:
The grass and the trees are ALWAYS enlightened.

Which pretty much rules out all that nonsense about recognition. 😛
Maybe the master is just trying to nudge people toward becoming aware of their own enlightenment, so they finally understand everyone else's too? 😁
Geez, master... 😂
Did it really take you 27 years to figure that out? 😛
But Jack Harris is Jack Harris, always gnawing at the exact same bone. 😛

Hey, I don't mind getting something fresh and new, but only if you actually have something to offer. If you've got nothing, you just keep gnawing on what's left. 🙂

Jose Reyes said:So... was that just some kind of doggy zen? Or what...?🙂

What’s going on, Master? Did we get a little tangled up in our own web here...? 😛

First, you say...
Pache, even once you’re absolutely CONVINCED that an ENLIGHTENED BEING is right in front of you...
And then you just go right back to lying to yourselves... again.

And then, just a few posts later, it’s suddenly very, very clear...
The grass and the trees... they've always been enlightened...

You know, I feel like there’s a third quote missing... one where you finally admit that you were just lying to yourself with those other two... 😛
Spiritual Teacher?! in Spirituality ·
Jose Reyes said:Pache, even when you're absolutely CONVINCED that an enlightened being is standing right
in front of you, you still end up lying to yourself...

There’s this little saying that always sticks in my mind...

"I've got the answer! It just doesn't fit the question..." 😁 😛

Jose Reyes said:Just ENJOY the Presence of someone who actually has the nerve to call themselves an
enlightened master

Pfft, give me a break. 😛
I'd much rather spend my time with someone who actually lives it... instead of just claiming the title... 😁

nimblecobra79 said:The choice is ours; we have heaven if we simply want it.
Jesus showed us how we ought to live (according to the universal law) if we want Life, and he gave us the opportunity to tap into love (life energy) at any moment—a force that wipes away every sin and makes everything new and right again.

Just read what's above. So, whether it’s the first sin, the second, or any other, it all comes down to whether we allow it. And then, the state of things is truly just like the beginning, plus the realization of what exists outside of God.

Still, nothing actually changes, and nothing is undone.

The reality remains that your actions (or lack thereof) here on Earth determine your place in Heaven.
Even before him, anyone could "tap into love" at any point in time.
People have always been the architects of their own hell or heaven through their own conduct, both before and after Jesus.
True, that law still stands. But like I said, if you let love into yourself, it repairs those deformities caused by the absence of love, which is what led to sin in the first place.
Right now, it might seem like we can't even let that love in, but we can, because our very essence (God) is designed to push us forward, to grow, and to become aware.

So, love only started appearing with Jesus? It didn't exist during those thousands of years before him?
And nobody was able to "let it in" back then?
I wouldn't go that far. 😁
Because if that were true, I'd have to ask where our essence (God) was for those thousands of years. 😉
And I'm sure you'll tell me that God is eternal and unchanging, so that same God—who is also our essence (and they say God is love 😁)—was inside us all along in the exact same way, not just since Jesus showed up.

It's still not clear what changed after Jesus compared to before.
Everything you mentioned was already an available option before he arrived.

Let's say Jesus came to set an example of how to live.
Fine, he did. But why did he have to die the way he did? He could have died of old age. He would have had even more time to speak and teach. Or even a heart attack.
And in the same vein, he could have revealed himself to his apostles after some ordinary, unremarkable death to prove they too would rise if they lived like him, if that was the goal. Some people claim the whole thing was about the resurrection...

Some see it as pure symbolism... the old, human "self," the bad and sinful part, needs to be nailed to the cross to die, so that a new, spiritual "self" can rise from it—something "not of this world."

But Jesus was already "perfect" even before being nailed to the cross; he didn't have a bad or sinful "self" that needed to be crushed. Theoretically, he wasn't even "of this world" during his life, so there was nothing for him to nail to the cross.
So, once again, I don't agree.

hollowviper72 said:Also, just so we’re clear, I value brains way more than looks. That doesn't mean my girlfriend has to be a genius or anything, just... you know, not a total airhead. Plus, I've never really been into huge breasts anyway. 🙂

See? Told you I was right. 😁
He just goes, "plus I don't like huge breasts," while claiming he wants someone smart... as if those two things aren't connected. If she's smart, she'll naturally have more substance than just physical traits, because let's face it, you won't even bother with anyone else otherwise. 😂
But if her curves are a handful and her IQ is low, then she's not smart enough for him... and if her IQ is high but her curves are also heavy, then he'll claim they're too much and he'll feel suffocated. 😂

And that, my friends, would be his version of "moderation." Just trying to balance everything out perfectly... 😛

nimblecobra79 said:Our own failings. I mean, would we even be here? Would we ever truly understand what suffering and pain actually feel like if we hadn't turned our backs on the law, on God?

So Jesus fixed all that? Great. Then why aren't we back in Paradise yet? 😁
I already explained what His death accomplished—it brought balance, a way to nullify sin.

Which sins, though? Be specific, please.
The original sin can't be the answer, because if that was "nullified," everything should have reverted back to how it was before it happened... that's just how nullification works.
So, which sins are we talking about then?
It’s not that God needs a sacrifice, it's that we do, and the law we stepped away from does too. That law still stands; it's relentless and unchanging. It has to be satisfied, one way or another.

What law? Are you saying you have to pay a fine for messing up?
Jesus didn't abolish that law. It's still very much in effect.
If that's the case, then what was the point of the sacrifice?

If things were state A before He died, and they became state B after, then what changed?
And if things were always just "A" anyway, then who and what was being sacrificed for?

Why is it that nobody seems to have a straight answer to that? 😁

Don't give me the "just think about it" or "you don't understand" routine... I'm asking for specifics, so I'd appreciate a specific answer.
There isn't anything I can't explain if I lay out the argument clearly. I could do it a million different ways, and you'd eventually get where I'm coming from if your IQ was higher than your shoe size.

Look, I've got patience, and my IQ is more than enough to handle this, so go ahead and explain.
So far, you haven't. 😁
