Inavalan,
Somehow you were giving a diagnosis that it was detrimental to my health……all I read into this that given the same scenario you believe it would be detrimental to your health. You don’t know me yet you read a few sentences and discern self damaging emotions. In my case I did not ask for help in any way yet you detected behavior to be concerned about. I see on these forums people openly asking for help and I regard most responses to those requests to be irresponsible. No one in these forums has any business in what amounts to online diagnosis and subsequent recommended treatment and course of therapy.

But, someone can suggest what they would do...and the orig poster can pick and choose
what he may not have thought of that could help.
"Irresponsible"?...pretty darn strong word for a discussion forum!!

Prepare yourself for the coming astral journey of death by daily riding in the balloon of God-perception.
Through delusion you are perceiving yourself as a bundle of flesh and bones, which at best is a nest of troubles.
Meditate unceasingly, that you may quickly behold yourself as the Infinite Essence, free from every form of misery. ~Paramahansa's Guru's Guru.

You may not consciously suffer, but excepting the case that you truly feel happy for those death-events, what you're doing causes you negative emotions that attract into your reality situations that will cause more negative emotions of some sort.
I totally agree with this statement because I believe things really DO effect us on a subliminal level even when we think they haven’t.

Redchic, you gotta start using '' '' marks.
I have NO idea where he is speaking and you begin. This happened
yesterday or today on another post.
So I'm saying something. Thanks.

From the Ashtavakra Gita Verse 20.3 ~
“Where is Knowledge and ignorance?
Where is “I”?
Where is “this”?
Where is “mine”?
Where is bondage and liberation?
Self has no attributes”
I would affirm the conclusion is valid - the Self has no attributes, being awareness in singularity, self-luminous, complete, with full freedom, renewing itself within itself, with no coming or going or doing to be done, dwelling thus in time and space dissolved ineffable peace.

Ah yes……the huge difference between recommending and advising…..subtlety of the highest degree ? |

Your on your way to it anyway hehe..
Neutrality comes from awareness and integration through all sides one sees.
In fact the sides are opportunities to open up feelings or belief's as you’re showing and changing the entire view.
The middle path exists as a movement aware of all sides. You’re not dismissing any thing you feel. Neutrality is the balance you find without emotional investment projecting the view. Your released from emotional binds and seeing things as they are.
As for goodness, the true self might be perceived as goodness. But that’s always up to the one interpreting how it wants to see things and feel.
