You might actually make a career out of teaching bears how to hibernate more efficiently.

Manhattan sleeps just fine without my input.🙂 😵

Baphomet, I’m curious—did you ever have a mentor, or are you self-taught?

I'm right here.😎

😂:lo:😂🙂 🙂

A guru should never be an object of worship...

They ought to be a mentor and a collaborator instead...

But this whole "suggested donation" approach? It’s a dangerous game. If you push people too hard on how much they should fork over, you might just end up putting the teacher right in the crosshairs of a feeding frenzy.

Or maybe not. I mean, if someone is actually satisfied with what they're paying, they'll open their wallet wide. Just look at the healthcare system here in the States. Before any major surgery, there's always that little envelope sliding across the table to the doctor.
It’s an open secret; some doctors thrive on those under-the-table envelopes way more than they care about the actual patients.

Yeah, well, one more thing: if a teacher's entire existence is tied to the almighty dollar... I highly doubt they'll be much of a teacher.

So, when you hit up a club, what’s the deal? Is it just a matter of coughing up cash for the cover charge and then paying through the nose for a drink?

It makes zero sense to just drop that kind of massive sum of cash all at once. It’s reckless. You could just set aside a hundred bucks every month for two years, or maybe even two hundred a month for a year. It's about the discipline. The teacher needs to see that you actually have the grit to stick with it. Once you prove that persistence, then—and only then—will you be granted the mantra.

No matter how much you try to justify it, the money mantra remains.🙂

I’m all for this principle... let everyone contribute whatever they can afford and judge based on what they feel is necessary.🙏

Thoughts and concepts are merely expressive forms of absolute consciousness

🙄 😁

The concept and its linguistic label both reside within the mind.

Well, what now?

Everything resides within the Self, yet the Self resides within nothing.

Of course the Self isn't "in" anything. If the Self is the only thing that actually exists, what possible container could there be to hold it? It’s a circular argument, really.
Self=absolute consciousness

Mislima

Thoughts exist within the Self; everything resides within the Self...
so there's no such thing as indigestion within the Self.🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂

What exactly does the Self transcend?
If you strip away everything else, the Self simply vanishes. There is nothing left but pure subjectivity—no object for the Self to transcend. And if that were the case, the Self would just end up being another subject itself.😉

To deny it would be...

Transcendence is nothing more than an illusion..
The Self is simply

Could you elaborate a bit on what the actual point of chanting is?

Assuming there even is a point to begin with.

So it isn't about reaching Trancendira, it’s about realizing it's already there... how can you possibly transcend nothingness?

The Self simply is.

A bear that meows, and viruses that silence him 😂🙂

Being isn't about reaching some higher plane; it simply is. It exists.

Mijauuuuuuuuu

Existence itself is all there is

MUUUU

No, absolutely not. From this point forward, I’m strictly communicating in meows.

Mijauuuuuuu

Sure, sure. But I’m still struggling to wrap my head around the logic here. Who exactly is supposed to be transcending whom? It just doesn't add up.

You want to know why I’m so skeptical about TM? It’s because the price tag is absolutely ridiculous.

Especially when you’re essentially being charged a premium just to be handed a mantra for a few bucks.🙂 🙂

Don't go claiming you have some sort of psychic intuition... you aren't a clairvoyant. You're just glued to this forum twenty-four hours a day, haunting every single thread like a restless ghost.🙂 🙂 🙂
