Hmm...


Guess I missed it, even reading between the lines.

the nature of love seems first hand to me...


I've never hated or even disliked anybody, if anything I feel for them, for if they themselves were not suffering they would not feel need to bother me. I wish well on those who are slanderous, manipulative, disrespectful of others, and/or violent and selfish. I've always been very comfortable with myself, Ive always been very happy, and I have always been eager to project positivity. You find there is no point in harboring negative thoughts or emotions regarding these things, it's uselessly polluting your mind, karma, and attitude. I wish happiness and peace to all beings. Even in the face of terrible adversity it's never been able to bring me down, I see everything as a lesson and an adventure, and meet every situation with calm, happy, and comfortable mindstate and out look.


I've noticed that when others pray, that they are praying for themselves and their loved ones, rather than praying for the happiness of all beings. Beings who are comfortable and happy are more willing to show compassion and understanding, they are less likely to be jealous needlessly or lash out at others, they treat others amazingly because they themselves are free of miseries and negativity, when you pray for others, ultimately it affects you.


Some eastern traditions feel that all of your negative thoughts, feelings, and actions will ultimately be projected back to you, either through your karma or in the state which is after death but before reincarnation...


...have you ever had a difficult psychedelic experience? It's much like how the Tibetans describe some areas of the bardo, for example:


(Every part of this reminds me of the DMT flash, actually, most of the Tibetan descriptions of  the bardo match my DMT experiences spot on. )



...all these negative forces which you must encounter in certain states of the bardo are derived from your own mind, all the negativity, hate, violence, and ill-will you had held onto will generate itself in the bardo against you, you will become afraid and jump into incarnation, possibly hastily, also keep in mind that this negative karma sticks with you between incarnations.


Thankfully I have never been able to hold onto negative thoughts or feelings, and I'm mindful to never commit negative actions, this comes easily for me, it's natural for me. In my case I would have to try incredibly hard to be a negative or miserable person. I show everybody positivity, regardless of how negative they are, or how negative their intentions are towards me.


...though I will admit, when it comes to having friends and being social, I'm very conservative in this respect, I'm reminded of a Buddhist saying:




I'm naturally a very reclusive person, I enjoy solitude, and have very little tolerance for the superficial social programming that most people call human interaction, I have a very small group of friends and family, and really want little to do with anybody else. These are intelligent, good hearted, talented, and unique individuals, each one like nobody else on earth, and each one with a heart of gold.


So my interest in making friends or being social is non-existent, while my need to project the positive and treat all beings with love dominates the majority of my social interactions.


I would never tell another how to live their life. I only worry about how to live my own.


At my cannabis dispensary, there's this creepy girl who always acts like she knows me, yet I have never seen her in my life, but I can tell her intentions are negitive, so I just ignore her. There's a few of them, negative individuals who I swear I have never seen in my life who think they know me, any way, it's a grain of salt, kind of creepy in a "these people must have no life" way, but ultimately harmless. While these people are inappropriately taking interest in my life, I still wish them well, I mean, I would prefer that these people never be within 20 miles of me simply because they are sources of negativity and karmic pollution, but I never wish them anything but happiness and good will.


...and that's my advice for this thread, why should you care? If you know your life is perfect, than who cares if someone tells you to work on it?
