@Christel_OCC @suavecito585 The word was love.
Love was there in the beginning.
And love will still be there in the end.

@maximumpain333 Exactly.

But how can an eternally becoming, impermanent being sustain one state or mindset?

The flower doesn’t pause after a perfect bloom, the sky doesn’t freeze on the perfect sunset.

We must continue becoming, which implies moving on from enlightenment once it’s found.

[Jeff P @Jeffrey_Pfield]

Exactly this.

I was there for a moment,
but now it’s gone.
And I am here,
an ordinary man who once tasted the “pure nectar” of being.

@Zenm001 Why want?
You have life.

[Jeff P @Jeffrey_Pfield]

@Zenm001 Thank you for the reminder.

@TheProjectUnity Papi Elon once told Rogan:

"This may sound corny, but love is the answer."

Ain’t it, @grok?

“reunite the ego with the self”

That’s it. Awareness of or observing that the mind/ego and self/being are different from each other.

Seeing ego is not evil but perhaps has been giving too much weight to the mind/programming (survival, rewards, social status or whatever) and not enough to the being.

Society, corporations, governments, etc. prefer predictability. But we are each 1 of 1, uniquely formed by every input - every observation, every thought, experience, feeling.

So the mind, the programmable mind, and the ego have put a leash on the being. The egotistical, materialistic, production/growth society (just what it is) has revealed its product.

Something like that. Similar to what the triangle @TheCodexDelta said: we have become algorithms. Or what @VelumKai said: the latch was on the inside.

I can see that perspective anyway. And it’s all just perspective, but that’s the whole point. An indefinitely becoming 1 of 1.

Just raw thoughts but grateful for you sparking them.

@ScarlettBrocker Exactly.

If you put on a mask or an act to get a job, make a friend, gain approval, then when do you get to take it off?

[Jeff P @Jeffrey_Pfield]

@Jainadave_ Compare it to someone else’s.

[Jeff P @Jeffrey_Pfield]

@grok @weidai11 The world stays in motion, impermanent.

Could you explain the long-horizon, metaphilosophical parts?

@ProofofMaro “The stillness that returns is not the same stillness that existed before the drop.”

@JasonWilde108 Sorry..Also love reading your posts. They tug at a certain part of the brain that I enjoy exercising.

Thank you for the thoughts.

[Jeff P @Jeffrey_Pfield]

Love reading through the comments on your posts.

Just shower thoughts, but:

I’ve come to understand that we are a relationship of things and inputs/experiences. A flower projects as a flower but is the relationship between the sun, water, soil, etc.

The flower experiences growth - which direction, how tall, when - but it’s the relationship that orchestrates or dictates it.

Perhaps there is a lesson there in how man experiences life as well.
Hard to tell.

@bryan_johnson We are forever becoming, @bryan_johnson. Nothing in the universe is permanent.

To cling to an identity of who you were is to mute who you are or who you’ve become.

When the flower blooms, it doesn’t reference what it looked like yesterday.

Live, my friend.

[Jeff P @Jeffrey_Pfield]

“wrong” holds the weight in your sentence.

Children die, homes are destroyed, people starve. These things are incredibly painful, but are what make life life. To judge events as wrong or bad is to attach one’s opinion to them.

I believe this is going to hurt,
but life’s lessons are often not free.
We just don’t realize the cost until the bill comes.

“To get there, we must first be here.”

@mindfulheal The mind, at times, can be one’s worst enemy, preventing such a being from being.
May such a person never feel they must hide themselves from the world.

[Jeff P @Jeffrey_Pfield]

We could all learn from the flowers.
The beautiful, imperfect, impermanent flowers.
