1 RT = 1 POST ON EGO & DUALITY, THE ROOT OF ALL SUFFERING

The biggest reason for the vast majority of the population being denied access to their potential is the control that one gives to the Ego

 🧠Ego

Latin word meaning: "Self"

This is the voice inside our head. It is only one part of the overall human "eco" system.

That voice is not "You".

The ego is where intellect stems from.
Ego is the narrator of Duality. Its only function is to interpret the dual aspect of our experience. The ego is one part of an overall human "eco" system.
The intellect believes on what the intellect can prove is real. Anything outside the realm of proof within the perspective of the intellect is not real. False. Fake.
Ego's Strengths:
>Calculations
>Mathematical
>Structure
>Competition
>Problem Solving

Ego's Weaknesses:
>Being still
>Living in the moment
>Feeling over thinking
>Being collaborative
>Being creative
>Being empathetic
The Circle = Wholeness = ☸️

Flow is nature. ☯

Going with nature, with gravity.

The experience of the circle: ☸️
Cycles

>Day and Night Cycle
>Daily Work Cycle
>Seasonal Cycle
>Natural Life Cycle
>Life and Death
>Music
Circle is totality.
Encompassing.
Complete.
☸️.
Duality is the state of separation, it is the opposite of reality and the cause of all suffering. Duality is the product of the mind. In Duality we split or divide life into right/wrong, good/bad, holy/sinful.

As a result our lives become centered around judgement and fear.
Paris of Conflicting Energies:

>Right vs Wrong
>Good vs Bad
>Happy vs Sad
>This vs That
>You vs Me
>Past vs Future
>Is vs Isn't
The thing that kills you is the thing that makes you feel alive. Every decision has a dual energy to it. Every decision has both positive and negative frequencies. The perspective of the believer dictates morality. The level of existence above or beyond duality.
Fear is the fuel that feeds the Ego.

Fear is Ego's go to weapon of choice.

The more fearful a person is, the more ego-identified they are.

A key step in stripping away the ego is rooting out fear-based thoughts.
Instinct vs Intuition

Instinct is programming we're boring with (Eating, Drinking, Fucking)

Intuition comes from accumulative experience.

Intellect = Thought = Mind = Ego

A fantastic tool but still limited
"The intellectual says a simple thing in a hard way. An artist says a hard thing in a simple way"

We've confused "Knowledge" with intellectual comprehension.

Its focus is the exterior.
Outside! Without!
Can you dissolve your ego?
Can you abandon the idea of self and other?
Can you relinquish the notions of male and female, life and death?
Can you let go of all of these qualities and embrace the Way without panic?

If so; you can reach the heart of the Integral Oneness.
Zero : 0

>Represents infinite space.
>Infinite possibilities are available.
>This space is the same for everyone.
>It is the soil where the ideas are planted.
One : 1

>Represents the seed of creation
>The intention for the space
>The centre point (focus) of the idea.
>Sets the tone for the entire pattern of that creation
>The root
Everything starts from nothing (0)
First step is the allocation of its center (1)

Growth and expansion come from the center point.
Each movement is an extension of the movements before (Non-Conceptualisation)

Creativity is always with you

Non-attachment. Wu wei. Be water.
Expose yourself to your deepest fear; after that fear has no power, and the fear of freedom shrinks and vanishes.

You are free.

"What will they think of me?"

This must be put aside for bliss.

A relationship begins to get stiff when excessive patterns begin to form.

Too many patterns leads to a boring, predictable, logical lifestyle.

Get the emotions involved.

Do something spontaneous out of the blue moon & flip the script.

'What's wrong with the patterns?'

Nothing is wrong with patterns.

However, there is a problem when all you have are patterns.

It's boring.

'Can you explain why?'

Sure 👇

The thing with relationships is that it's meant to be an emotional experience.

It's very difficult to logically explain love, right?

'Right.'

Well this is where you want to steer the ship the right way.

1. Too emotional is bad.

2. Too logical is bad.

Let me break it down.

1. Too emotional

If a relationship is completely ruled by emotions, then it's too volatile.

You will never reach productivity if you are aimlessly only following each others emotions.

This lifestyle tarnishes any structure for the couple.

'So why do people do it?'

Because it's fun.

You may ruled by this stage in the honeymoon phase.

Normal.

You'll be so spontaneous that it almost becomes a lifestyle.

But it's hard to level up your life when you're too spontaneous.

Avoid.

[ QUICK THREAD ]


1-Smile

How do you feel when you see someone that looks angry?

It’s a downer

No one will want to interact with you if you look pissed all of the time, it’s just negative energy

Plus, smiling is a sign of confidence and boosts others moods


2-Good posture

Don’t walk Into any social setting looking like the hunchback

It’s weak and makes you look low energy

Plus, you’re displaying low status with weak posture

Stand up straight with your chin up & chest out like a god

Walk like you’re proud of yourself


3- Strong eye contact

Ever shake someone’s hand & their eyes are either looking down or darting?

It’s weak & you probably won’t trust them

Or in conversation?

Eye contact while talking means you’re listening and paying *Attention*

Strong eye contact displays confidence


4-Fluid hand gestures

Use your hands to talk & express your points

Don’t stand there like a robot

Using the hands can make what you’re talking about exciting

It can also be used to emphasize

Exciting = positive emotion

Remember, making people FEEL is what’s important

Multiple friends have been reaching out lately, asking some version of "how did people get radicalized to such an extent?" and, more importantly, "why not us? why was I immune." As someone who's extremism in person, pretty much my whole life, here are some thoughts:

These are EXACTLY the questions we should all be asking ourselves right now. Studies have shown that no 'type' of person is immune to radicalization or falling prey to cults or cult-think. There's no such thing as being "too smart" for that.

So, for starters, many of us were just in the right place and the right time, and didn't get radicalized. That is an important realization. It's important because as we begin to try to de-radicalize our friends, family and "good people" who fell prey to white supremacist thought

We need to start with compassion, or they will just shut down. Understanding deeply that it can happen to anyone is a big part of that. Now let's talk those who were primed for it, more likely to fall into conspiracy thinking and the Q cult.

In this case, those white people who see the movement towards equality for everyone as white people losing (which is true in a way, we have to give back much of the privilege we obtained from those who took it by force or manipulation) were much more susceptible to the rhetoric.

10 easy steps to improve communication skills

《Thread》


1) Learn The Basic Of Non-verbal Communications

It's not about what you say, it's how you say it.

For a clear and confident conversation, focus on your posture.

Avoid folding your arms or making your self smaller than you are.

Use your eye contact to break the gap.

2) Respect Your Audience

As a speaker, you should respect your audience.

They are here for you to listen. They want to listen to your ideas, so you must respect them.

Remember the quote “Give respect, Take respect“.

If you fail to give respect, they will not listen to you.

3) Ask for honest feedback

Whenever u have a conversation with anyone ask them about your mistakes, progress you have done in conversation.

This will help you in achieving your goals and by looking after your mistakes, you will learn them and improve it.

4) Maintain Eye Contact

Effective comm. is where the speaker makes eye contact with his audience.

The receiver starts trusting to him and shows interest in his words.

Maintaining eye contact builds credibility, and also it shows you care about your listeners.

SRI KUMARIAMMAN, KANYAKUMARI (TN)
#bharatmandir #navratri2021

Created by Maharshi Parasurama and also one among the 108 Shakthi Peethas in the world. The name Kanyakumari stands for Kanya(Virgin) and Kumari(girl).
Devi took this form to vanquish the demon Banasura
@GunduHuDuGa


Once, Banasura(grand son of Mahabali) obtained a boon from Shiva that he could be vanquished only by a virgin.
So, Devi took the form of a kumari and started meditating with the desire to marry Shiva at Suchindram.
Pleased Shiva fixed the midnight hour for marriage with Devi.


Devarshi Narada knew that the marriage would end the chance of killing Banasura. So, he assumed the form of a cock and crowed. Shiva returned back to Suchindram thinking that it was dawn.
Angered, Devi cursed that all food and articles meant for wedding turn into sand and shells


When Banasura heard about Devi’s beauty, he tried to take her by force. Devi, then, killed him and granted the wish of Devas to remain there always protecting them.
The murti of Devi stands with a rosary in hand. Her diamond nose-ring is said to be visible even from the sea.


Once an ancient mariner mistook it for a lighthouse and sailing towards it, his ship wrecked upon the Kanya Kumari rocks. In order to prevent such a tragedy from happening again, the eastern door of the shrine is opened only on five special occasions throughout the year.

Glorious Vedic Architecture and Temple

Architecture in India was an extremely rich form of expression and highly developed science, with a deep heritage of spirituality in it. #FreeHinduTemple


The centre of all architectural development was the temple and temple or Mandir was the earthly home of God, and like the launching pad for the devotee’s consciousness to soar toward the Divine and the spiritual world.


The murti or deity of the Divine would be placed in the temple sanctum, around which all temple activity would revolve.

Such buildings were often elaborately decorated with stone, wood, plaster, etc. and carved or cut to depict the stories from the Puranas or other sacred texts


Temples were always the centre of religious, social and educational activities, practically more so in
ancient times than today.

During a span of more than two thousand years, various dynasties were known for constructing glorious temples,


some of which include the Mauryan, Ashoka, Gupta, Satavahana, Chedi, Chandella, Chalukya, Solanki, Pallava, Shola, Hoysala, Vijayanagar, and others.

Many of these temples remain beautiful architectural wonders today.
