I liked the last video about lust, though it left me wanting more... I get the part about accepting ourselves as we are. Actually, watching Rey's videos really helped me get past some guilt and shame. I can now act out without huge moral or emotional consequences. Though, I still want to master my sexual energy... I would like to just let it go the natural way (as I did with alcohol and drugs 6 years ago), but this is no small business, this is the second most powerful instinct! it will keep coming back... I know that applying restraint (going past urges) does bring great reward, but somehow Rey's current teaching argues against such struggle. With booze, I really did go all the way to the bottom before being done with it, Not sure I want to go at the bottom of sex... What is the middle ground between struggle and surrender? Any of you got into a comfortable position in the face of lust?

Hello rebels , I just took this lesson of live to dance and dance to live . He teaches that , this journey does not end in meditation , after it , dance to the rhythm of the cosmos . My thoughts on this is that what I do in life , I mean even the simple things like cleaning my room I have to do it in a way that I have my mind in it . I have heard the story of monks who did this in their activities of carrying buckets of water or chopping wood . To me this sounds like meditation is just continuing but am just not sitting down or lying. Let me know what you people think, I would love your opinions on that lesson .

As I continue my spiritual journey, it feels like my monster mind is trying to hinder my progress and prevent me from achieving freedom. It almost seemed easier at the beginning when I first started, but persistence is crucial. I hope that we all find spiritual awakening, growth, and freedom, especially freedom.

Like I just want the universe to wait for me, while I - Doomscroll - Lose focus - Give in to comfort - Masturbate way too much - Waste time - Don't change my ideologies that have lead to narcissism Why am I so hypocritical? That's because I can, and I don't like it. I don't like wasting my parents' precious money. I don't like making them walking on a rope mentally. But my job is being honest. So I am putting it out here. I'm too self aware and unwilling to change. That's the problem. But I want to add value to this community. I postpone replying to y'all just to feed my social media addiction. I'm sorry I keep betraying the world. Thank you!

Why do I read so many times things about "killing the ego" or that "it's your enemy"? I mean the guy lives inside me right? He would benefit as much as me to feel happy feelings, no? Instead of figting him, can't we just explain to him how he'll benefit by coming along in love instead of wasting time and energy in confrontation?
