Effects of alcohol - Give up alcohol

Alcohol dims consciousness. It makes you slightly less conscious. This alone is enough reason to give up all forms of alcohol, including the occasional drink. This includes all forms like breezer, beer, mojito. Give up all forms of alcohol, even the moderate ones.

The known and The unknown

- Existence exists is the only certainty. Nothing more can be said.

- We have no idea what is existence.
- We have no idea about the cause of existence.
- We have no idea about the meaning of life.
- We have no idea about what we should be doing.
- We have no idea about who we are.
- We have no idea about what is the world and the universe.
- All we have are our fantasies and imaginations.
- We have no idea what is going on.
- We have no idea about life.
- We have no idea about death.

In fact, it seems that the longer you live and the more deeply you observe, the less certain you become. You begin to see the terrifying extent of the unknown.

As you get older, you acquire the skill of seeing through all the BS.

The only intention

No matter how bad or how god life gets, you are always present in this very moment. To feel your roots in the present moment. It takes no special skill for this. Only intention.

Separation and thought

What ultimately matters?

When there is no real separation, it does not matter what happens or does not happen.

The stronger the belief in separation, the stronger the hold of thought.

With the weakening in the belief in separation, thought starts to release its hold.

In perfect oneness, thoughts arise and disappear of their on accord. In the absence of the belief in separation, there is no holding on to thoughts.

The biggest trap

The biggest trap in life is to indulge in fantasy. Believing in fantasies is life's biggest trap. And the self is the biggest fantasy.

Existence

Existence exists. Thats it. Thats all. Nothing more. Nothing less.

The self

The self is fabricated. Created as a refuge from the demands of the world. A personal inner refuge and a world that we can dwell within. A protection from the harshness of reality. The fabricated self is a coping mechanism. And yet, it is that which creates the separation. For the fabrication of the self is the birth of separation. And the loneliness. Our gift that becomes the curse.
