You must see these answers in the context of a sage completely befuddled at two things in human nature; ONE - people come to him with always the same complaints but expressed in many different forms, because of the twisted indirect nature of the mind; TWO - the story of the questioner's very important little person has shifted to the story of his very important little spiritual quest. Invariably the sage proposes a step aside from that very tiny, shackled, ensconced personal world: - witness life as the Whole - live without head (Harding) or without person (Paroissien) - love each being as yourself - lose yourself in devotion/service .... etc. get it?

Even though and invariably, the next question often is going to be, well, it all sounds good but how to? LOL.

Exactly as the Bible said " you cannot serve God and Mammon " , your need is the worse compass to follow. A need as a compass needle, Kundalini rise has shown you the right haystack, but the sorting out starts here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is what it is....and.... I Am That I Am. The rest is just filling in all the blanks... there is after all, linear time accepted in this world of non/duality as 24/7. What to do? What to do?

You are either seeking because something is missing, and there is a heaviness or a bitterness that pervades all experiences, or you are liberated from the human form.
