Haribol

true or not, I dont know, but it just popped up on my feed so… I think I’ll stop thinking about the Sith Lord Klaus Schwab for a while and go take a beer in the sauna. God bless you all 🤍❤️🕊️

Well, the «lawful» and «peaceful» are the ones poisoning our food, trafficking kids and sacrificing a couple of millions in Ukraine so.. f them. It is not the law that keeps me from robbing my neighbors. I think communities are able to govern themselves if they are given a sense of ownership, which we are not, because the lawful people in Davos or Brussels or wherever the f tell us they need to protect us from ourself.

I declare myself above the law. Space if we get back to true democracy, rule by the people, the thing/assembly, I’ll reconsider. But I’m tired of these part time security guards in fancy clothes telling me stuff.

Can we conclude that they are creeps and simply not recognize their authority? That’s my choice of action, anyway.

Surrender.

BG 2:12 Never was there a time when I did not exist, nor you, nor all these kings; nor in the future shall any of us cease to be. So, what to do, being immortal? Adventure, I think. BG 10:36 I am also the gambling of cheats, and of the splendid I am the splendor. I am victory, I am adventure, and I am the strength of the strong.

Altso it is… 5 am!

Not sure how relevant this is, but I hope it helps. You familiar with the concept of synchronicity, I think. If not, quick google search will help you out. Reason I bring this up, is that I’ve come to think about it as a sort of… not exactly reward/punishment system, nor feedback mechanism, but rather as a pointer. Messages from «above» (I guess) that tells me «do more/less of this». I feel like a d saying this, but once I helped this kid out without expecting anything at all, just pure compassion. Not trying to paint myself as a saint, but point is, then the magic kicked in. Suddenly, loads of helpful people came into my life. From that I conclude selfless service is something I should do more of. Likewise, the kinder I am, the kinder people come into my life. I do not think this is as simple as people beikg kinder to kind people. That’s of course an aspect of it, but not all, I think. If I hang around a certain person, and curious stuff happen, I think that is a message from God (if you will, I try to avoid that term), to keep hanging out with that person. Likewise, if a topic keeps popping up, as Buddhism has for me recently, I think I should look into it. There seems to be a rhyme and reason to this thing we call life. Feel me?

@zerostao @old3bob So if you dont mind, I qoute you here over on mentioned thread. What do you make of this... tension perhaps?

I do not think so. Destruction (of the old) is nessesaryfor creation of the new. To create a tree house one has to cut down trees. Ofc I don’t like the suffering and government overreach caused by a very natural virus indeed, but it did wake a f ton of people up to what kind of forces operate in this world. Same with the guy that certainly did kill himself. It is impossible in the long run to not cause change when stuff like this gets surfaced. And at a certain point I believe the ball will start running with such speed there is no way that mass evil at that scale can continue to exist.

How so?

Hmmm… ultimately, I think that the suggestions given like consciousness is the one that resonates the strongest with me. Although I’d certainly love to know God more intimately, and am no atheist, I try to not concern myself to much with the term. For one thing, it can mean a hundred different things to a hundred people. And I also feel that the term has been misused for worldly gain so much that it has kind of been… idk, poisoned in a way. Aaaaaalso, there is so much I don’t know and have no way to talk about, like celestial hierarchies and stuff. If I have zero direct experience of it, I should not get lost in mental speculation and/or preaching about it, I feel. I was once told that Krishna (by which the person meant God) is in everything, but everything is not in Krishna. Kind of a paradox, I know, but if we think about it like the sun: the sun shines for everyone, but one has to choose to walk into the sun light to experience it. To me, God is best described as the supersoul, as in BG. 10.20: I am the Supersoul, O Arjuna, seated in the hearts of all living entities. I am the beginning, the middle and the end of all beings. Allow me to throw in 10.36 as well, because I just got introduced to it and it’s kind of awesome: I am also the gambling of cheats, and of the splendid I am the splendor. I am victory, I am adventure, and I am the strength of the strong. The term godhead/hood is something that intriges me as well. So, to summarize my thoughts: (1) God is all (2) there are various degrees of divinity by that we can conclude: (3) This makes no sense, perhaps it will get clearer in time

@thelerner @liminal_luke the golden mean? No but reallly, I agree with you. These things isn’t something I’d share with every and anyone. Reason I did it here on daobums, is I consider you kind hearted people and in many ways… friends. 🎉

«One must be very vigilant to remember that he (initiated Vaishnava) is part and parcel of the trancendental body of Krsna, and that it is his duty as as part and parcel to give service to the whole, or Krishna. If we do not render service to Krsna then again we fall down» Nectar of devotion

This is from my journal (Mathias the scientiest) here on daobums. Id like to share it hear as well: Reflections 29.12-04.01: All in all I think im happy with this period. The experiments where as follows: - Carry a bag with a notebook, nectar of devotion, my chating beeds and a water bottle everywhere - Sauna three times minimum On the sauna part, I did as intented, on the first one, mostly. Night to saturday I did not sleep at all. The reason? Amphetamines and screentime. I am tempted to write this is stupid doing, but I wont do that. Reason being, this is far from the first time it happens, and rather than judge myself, id like to understand me as I would another. The above kind of ties in to the experments as well. On the morning after that sleepless night, I was leading the sauna sermony. That is to say, wishing people welcome, regulating the atmosphere and keeping the fire going, literally and figureativly. This was about three hours, with two different groups. Cant say I felt very drawn to hosting on zero sleep, but you know, responsibilites. I am happy that I walked (that is to say, not drive) the 40 minutes or so to the sauna and the coast. This gave me time to focus on the breath and the moment, while taking in a landscape quite a few people would consider among the most beautiful on our little planet (allthough there are no lack of beauty anywhere really). On the way, two helpfull thoughts entered: one how f small I am. How small we all are. Watching the fjords and the mountains, it becomes very clear that I am indeed very small. All of us. And that was liberating. Second, the guests where obviously there not because they wanted to experience me, but to enjoy the sauna. In their eyes, I am really not that important, and my responsibility is just to make it as smooth of an experience for them as possible. So, this was a three hour session, with two different sets of guest. The first one, went okay. Not great, but okay. When I wasnt entireley present, some other experienced saunamasters (as we call ourself ) was being very helpfull. In an hour or so I was back into it. Second half went great, all guests leaving with smiles and thanking me for the experience. So that is another important takeaway from this experience; humanities helpfull nature. When people see me being a little "off", they want to help out, just as I would do for them. It is okay not to be 100% all the time. So, for the period 05.01-12.01 I want to keep the experiments from the previous period: - Carry a bag with a notebook, nectar of devotion, my chating beeds and a water bottle everywhere - Sauna three times minimum As well as add: - waking up the same time everyday, no matter what. I think I will set it at 08.00. - Physical journaling as a way to empty my mind. - Walk to places I need or want to be - Breath in that PRANA - Visit temple, lets say... three times. And now, Ill go prepare some food for the people. Wish you a good week, Hare Krishna! Edit: aaaalso, the alarm clock woke me up with the following qoute: "walk by faith, not by fear." Good, no? Fitting, certainly. edit two: Om Sri Lakshmi! The power of now is here now!
