Paths

I was talking with Setadrift and I decided to open a new thread instead.

I go to sleep now, sorry if it's messy, i'm tired. bye.


yeah, ur path is: ur path. to me... paths like religions and cults... and goverments... and like authorities coming from other people telling u what to do... are old... and/or getting old... Old, old, old.

we have by nature a code for conduct...

so we really don't need others telling us what to do or not to do.

and i think... it's our obligation to find, what we were looking in religions, our answers, in ourselves, it's easier to find answers in others. I mean... we do need to help and to be helped, and we are social creatures too, but.. in therms of religions and/or paths... which one is the best? none. Because what we have to do now... is finding the way through ourselves.

and the most important thing, to me, the good path... is to love.

and how to love?.. we have to excersice that with ourselves first. I was just talking with Patryc about that. I'm not very good at doing that.... I should open that new thread I was thinking... I have to do that, love myself, so much more.

the thing is.... path for what? like what?...

do u really need a path?...

u can learn from here and there, but at the end...

the important thing, what we have to do is to love ourselves and "to love the others in the same measure"... (sounds familiar?)...

so .. for loving ourselves... what do we need? a path? a religion?... no. We just have to love ourselves. With our diet, taking care of our body, doing what we have always wanted....what make us happy... because....that's the way.. that's the path. For example, if u have always wanted to be an astronaut... Be an astronaut. The desire in ur heart... is what the Universe wants from u... I noticed that once.. Sometimes we ask "God. what do you want me to do?"..."What do I do?" "Tell me!!".. and God would answer... "what do u want to do?" "i want to be an astronaut.. but what do You want me to do for you?"... and most likely u hear silence because it's like "dah"... But is not our fault. Many of us, we learnt it this way... But that's old. What path u should follow?, ur own. What does ur heart tells u?.. what do want to do? where do u want to go?... who do u want to meet?.. what do u want to experience?..

and when u do what u want to do, when u go where u want to go, etc... Ur heart vibrates so high.. That's what u want to look for. What makes u.. vibrate that way.

and imagine every single individual vibrating that way. Everysingle individual so happy because... she, he.. learnt to love him/herself... That is the way to be able to love others... When ur happy, when u have an orgasm, when ur doing ur favorite sport... when u have what u need, if we still need money, when u have ur money, etc, when ur okey with urself.... it's so much more easy to love others.

And I know, that day, the world will now Peace.

Paths... like religions... have had many mistakes... like for example controlling the sex life of others... Cults... controlling the ego of others...They do sepparation too... "I'm super, ur not"..."your stupid, I'm ..whatever".. (The Goverments and Institutions does that too. "I'm rich,ur poor"... dummy things like that..) and they provocate hate... violence... between each other

The way is u to work with urself and u don't have to tell others what to do, neither to obey others.

Others interfiering in ur life...that's gossip, that's.... being in other's business and certainly not in the here and the now. That's not seeing in urself what u have to change in urself.

We can learn from each other and help each other... but not impose our authority over others...

I haven't read this thread... I'm answering ur "question", about paths...

So.. these are my thoughts.

...Now.. everyone has his/her own process... if u feel is good for u to follow certain religion ...o.k. I'm not nobody to tell someone to leave his religion.. but I'm talking about Cristianity, Catholicism... Judaism... I mean... religion-religions.. not new crazy weird paths.... cults...

Why I say that if u feel is good for u.. Cristianity or Budism (which is not a religion, is a phylosophy, but I think can certainly be considered... a path)...or other Religion... go for it... even when I think that's old?.. because I know people can learn good things from there... At least that what I did..

I was borned and raised Catholic and I learnt a lot of good things there. I sepparated when I realized things that didn't make sense.. and that make me suffer a lot... Then I entered into a Budists School years later, and I loved it, then I went to a Kabbalah Center and I learnt some good things... and I didn't like others... At the end... my conclusion was... all religions come from the same and are looking for the same... It just have different names.

And to me.. the most important thing, ideal, is to love. And I don't feel a necesity for a Religion for doing that. And about conecting with God...I'm learning so many things....now.... that I can't explain yet...

So... if u want to find a path... investigate urself like go.... I don't know where.... sounds appealing for u... and then...learn good things.. don't get attached to any path... And just be happy man, that's what u came here to do... to be happy.

peace.

yes, u said it.

i believe almost all of us here feels this way

I'm glad to know that most are in my situation, but saddened by it too. I have always felt that my childhood set me apart from others, and I do know that I am different because of it. As A child, while under the control of my parents, I was forbidden, to have friends, not allowed to leave the house other then school, and sports (I have a family to thank, that pestered my parents so much about letting children out to compete). Out of nearly 12 seasons of sports that I participated in, my parents have yet to this day seen me compete. There is a saying that children should be seen not heard, my parents believed that children should not be seen or heard. I was not allowed to smile or laugh, (they were signs of ignorance), there was no religion in my life, and to display anyform of love was to show weakness. Anything that I found pleasure in, would be taken aways from me as soon as it found to do so. As an example, I became interesting in books in 6 grade, since I was not allowed to make noise, and spent most of the time staring at the white walls of my bedroom. I began to read, An entire book a day, this went on for about 3 months, then I from that time on , I was not to touch anything but text books. This is the story of my first 18 years.

Because of these things I tend to separate myself from others, or at least think that I am different then others. This is how I have lived my last 20 years, I find it quite easy to be other people, because I have never really been myself, up four years ago. I opened my eyes and actually saw for once the world as a whole, I have been very sad every since. So I search, and I search.

As far as if I believe? I believe there is a higher power, God, By what name I do not know, I believe God, or his agents around us at all times, or at least know when to be there. In my 38 years I have seen many things that support this, and the only thing I know, is that I am suppose to live. In my time I have had This entity ensure that, but nothing more. I have been put in many situations where death is ensured, to simple walk away unscathed, I have seen time stop, had a unknown individual appear and speak upon my behalf (this is in a town of 400 people and not one person that saw him, can remeber what he looked like), the laws of physics broken, known godspeak, and known that this enity sees everything. All these things I have seen, I have no control over, they just happen. So I believe, but in what or who I'm not sure.

Study buddhism.

Strange, that is one of the few I have not looked into? Why suggest?
