Fufillment
    #5613697 -

What fufills you? What sustains you?  :cool:

Naturally, it is important to strive for a state in which one's sense of completeness and emotional satisfaction is not dependant on any aspect or occurence in reality.

And yet, we can consciously choose and prefer that which we are to engage and involve ourselves with. What do you choose?

... and why?

I'm going to eat some food, and I will return with what fufills and sustains me. :wink:

:headbang: :sun: :headbang: :satansmoking:
Peace. :mushroom2:

:redpanda:
If I should die this very moment
I wouldn't fear
For I've never known completeness
Like being here
Wrapped in the warmth of you
Loving every breath of you

What fufills you? What sustains you?

On occassion I find myself seeking for fulfillment in the excitement and stimulation/overstimulation of all six of my senses. As a matter of practice though, I try to let-go and let everything fulfill me by not seeking for fulfillment and by not avoiding it.

And yet, we can consciously choose and prefer that which we are to engage and involve ourselves with. What do you choose?

Sometimes I find myself attempting to engage myself only in pursuit of the excitement of my six senses. I try to not be engaged in anything in particular, and as a result be completely engaged with everything.

... and why?

Reality doesn't limit and confine itself to being engaged only with certain things. If it did, there would only be bushes and nothing else in existence. How am I different from reality? Why should I choose to limit and confine myself to being engaged in only certain things?

So...........
how does a person without anything to relate to... .I.E. "reality" become aware of what can Fulfill anything  When nothing is everything ? To be in complete satisfaction,as far as you have put it, would require a complete void of self awareness. Without the outside to make the inside aware there would be no you. To be you there must be a them,it, that place etc.....

And even if one could be in such a state, as you described. What would you compare you new found place too ? I mean,this state of mind you speak of can only be found in the place you would never know your there anyway. Does that make sense ? I can not see any way a person can ever get to this place.......I can see how a person can start from such a place but one could never go back. The mind is always full of something

Besides our emotions are Dependant on the reality that you speak of. Emotions are the sum of what we want and what we get. And wants and what we get come from what we learn...from reality.

Not to side step your thread........I had to jump over this hole sorry.:lol:



WHAT SETS MY CLOCK TO GO >>>>>>>>>>BANG

Things that I want that I can not get
People that I can not understand
Ideas that become fruitful
When other around me strive forward from my light
The powers beyond me use my life, hands or mouth
The sunrise
The love of a wife............ :heart:

If I ever get to a state of mind where nothing around me is what gives me the greatest fulfilment....shoot me.

moments of psychadelic majesty, and realizations of the infinite nature of thought.

Deep dreams and lucid awareness. The temporary luminousness of perceptions.

Contact with the logos.

The capacity to feel.

The awareness of mystery.
