      First they don't want anyone know about Ukraine, me and Vatican. If they win China , they will attack Russia after Russia is lost. Suddenly, they attack India by the tanks same as Russia attack Ukraine while Ukraine didn't repair on Feb 2022 and then they will attack Japan, Viet Nam, Korea, Taiwan , Middle East and Africa. Because We don't have the paper work about the win but the paperwork just say we corporate with them . If they are serious . They must tell Taiwan, Philippines, Korea and Japan stop fighting. The reason they don't say because it is a best chance to attack those countries due to low weapons. Anyway, I have a question to Taiwan. Do you have a contract with them that Taiwan will take over China or China is belong to them either half of the land??,,?,??? Because their tanks will enter into the India .Another word, their army is on our land.
      Lastly; after they United all nations. They will announce to the public about the Vatican But we already forgot the bad deed of Vatican by that time same as Zeleski will claim himself Jesus. The bad thing to us , we might become their slaves because we don't have any one help us. Do you remember the Black slaves in the History.??

    How wonderful it is to feel that you are right there with these people back in 1989 in that room. I feel I am right there laughing together with them, laughing at the silly nature of my ego and the way that it keeps creating dramas and conflicts between myself and other people. Ram Dass words of wisdom makes me remember that there is only one of us, and that the nature of that one, is love. Have a wonderful day, and love to you all!

    I think, for the very first time in my life, at 43 years old,
    I UNDERSTAND there's a difference between LOVE and DESIRE.
    Desire requires:
    1. Strengths: flirty, confident, cute, funny, sexy, wholesome.
    2. Fearlessness. I have confidence in my coping if you hurt me,
    and I have the power to hurt you too. So let’s not hurt each other.
    3. Here’s what I love about my body. I’m going to focus on accentuating what I have.
    Love requires:
    1) Connection.
    2) Compatibility.
    3) Chemistry.

    • @paulwangler4354
      @paulwangler4354 Před rokem +2

      In my own experience, "wanting a relationship" is just another stance the mind has taken. I'm not saying there's anything wrong with relationships, I just think they're unnecessary. I see them as ways the mind (out of habit) searches externally to help some part of us internally. Every time my mind produces a desire for a relationship, I view it as another thing the mind thinks it "needs" (like a bigger house, whiter teeth, more clothes, etc.), when in reality I know I don't need anything. Its simply another phenomenon that has spontaneously popped into my consciousness, and i let it go. And if my mind is really persistent, i give myself tons of love, because thats all it really wants anyway. I'm not saying it's the right way to go about things, it's just something I've observed. Kind of neat.

      @@SL-ws6gg I understand that but it's truly something I can't help at this stage in my journey. Ram Dass said that it can happen to the more devotional focused practitioners. So far it hasn't changed, all women I see are the great mother and I just don't have the lust I used to. Clearly it's just different for different yogis. I'm not a "horny celibate" or anything to use a Ram Dass term. I simply enjoy the dance of all of it, and just because I have lost interest in sex doesn't mean I'm not burning through my desire trips, I just happened to get lucky enough for that trip to become uninteresting. Paraphrasing ram Dass again, once you have orgasm with the divine, no lover can come close.

    To anyone reading this, I became enlightened in 2 weeks by doing nothing other than holding onto the feeling of "I" for roughly 3-5 hrs a night. things will progressively become more and more beautiful, and your reality will turn into a mushroom trip, although you're completely sober. Ram dass's whole bit about giving maharashi acid, and it did nothing, well, same for me. I should mention that functioning in the world is extremely difficult in this plane, so be prepared. You will get used to it, but it's quite disorientating. I reincarnated as some guy from a very small town in North Dakota. Nothing special. If I can do it, so can you. Love you all ❤️

    26:24… got me to contemplate the idea of “heritability” and “environmental” factors of how an individual behaves in their life. Their emotional disposition or behavioral attributes. How much does the idea of karma/past lives have to do with such ideas (personality, behaviors, etc..) or the likability that someone for instance bipolar or anxiety or depression. What if these come as karma from the past?
