Beware of 'but'

[@josephwinnard6666]

"Fear leads to aggression" = fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, hate, leads to suffering. Jon is Yoda confirmed.

[@yoooyoyooo]

Delusion leads to greed, greed leads to anger. Delusion that some thing is going to make you happy. As soon as you put an object in front of you and say once I get that I'll be happy you made your self unhappy until you get it. And as it were when you get it you may get a moment of "hapiness" but then as any state of mind it will go and you will feel disapointed. The disapointment will make you want to be happy again so you are going to repeat the same process. At one point you wont feel hapiness anymore just frustration.

[@fireballdude7368]

No Hate is fake term

[@Laotzu.Goldbug]

And yet in the real world, that is the universe which contains all totality and not just the soft fluffy and still portions of it, aggression is at times justified, sometimes necessary, occasionally even highly laudable.

When we are all free from this mortal coil, let's all agree to meet together with John in spirit in the Stillness for old time's sake, not that time will matter at that point.

[@herself50]

I love when he laughs. He’s so spiritually advanced that he finds our silly questions amusing.. Can you imagine how silly we seem to the Creator? Like when our little ones ask us questions that we find silly and put a smile on our faces.

[@meekomania457]

he is laughing at people a bit like the laughing buddha statue.The creator didnt make us,we dont exist,its only ego

[@MrSkme]

God would not think we are silly. He would have complete understanding of why we ask all our questions. if john is really so "spiritually advanced" he would know that no questions are silly, which i think he does. and that the reason why people ask questions is because they do not know the answer.

[@randybackgammon890]

@@meekomania457 yes but who made the ego. If man is sin then God as creater of all must be the ORIGIONAL sinner....Not saying I believe that but(aha!),it's perfectly logical.And if logic ain't the point then why come at me with any at all....Still like John though😊

[@markusmeyer6391]

Let's all be present and leave John alone to be present. He already said that the answer to every question is feet on the ground listen and look. I feel like we are harming him, pulling him away from his home by asking him questions. Instead of asking questions let's just be present. Maintaining life requires effort. Everything we do including asking questions requires effort, but all this effort is lost into the bottomless pit. The only effort that'ss worth it is to let go of the question and be present, let go of the pleasure and be present, let go of the pain and be present, let go and be present. Please, people this man should be living his last years in peace. Okay I think it's time for me to put my feet on the ground.

[@nickels4682]

Me is that which is not present❤️❤️❤️

[@peaelle42]

i, me, my, but. 'i' because of self-centeredness makes it hard for you to perceive things from other angles. 'me' because it creates expectation, that something should happen/go to you. 'my' because clinging on to possessions can be painful, plus it might not belong to you in the first place. 'but' because it indicates a change in logic, exceptions to a generalisation so whatever follows usually is some form of excuse or break clause which might indicate dodginess.

[@middlegrounds109]

I have a question, can anger be in anyway a spiritual force if used for good ? I know anger gets a bad reputation but Jesus got angry and used it for good. What is your take on anger and spirituality ?

[@randybackgammon890]

If one can't use the critical axiom of 'but' then any (sweeping) statment becomes unfalseifyable. One can't present a counter augument.I know there is more to life than logic but I for one am not about to abandon it completly.Anyone could lay any rip off on me!

[@Duranchula35]

get this guy on the JRE podcast

[@88tongued]

Is stillness sensed or more contemplated? Is silence an object of meditation or a metaphor? Space and presence are intangible and not locatible in felt sense experience or even concepts...maybe it's endlessly pursuing the elusive abstraction that is the generator of the gratification that one gets when one errors and thinks miraculously one has felt presence or knows of stillness. Or maybe the thrill is a new way to feel the question, "Why is there something rather than nothing?" The pleasure of the mystery packaged in a first person consciousness oriented thing

[@Scott1433]

It sounds like the message from these videos is apart from stillness nothing else matters

[@marikorhonen8382]

[@Socrates5976]

Its funny when John laughs

[@vico3763]

But... :)using but may force butt ache. Fear is the prime first creation we have developed. Then in our pride we started to teach children to fear this and that. Since it is so deep in us, it transmutes using our energy to vast different other e-motions(it pushes us to motion stripping us from stillness). The "one" brings always more "evil" or should we see that as evil=live - signal to us that we live here and now?

Are presence and god synonymous

[@davidmccallum7105]

No but John claims they are. The great Deception. Jesus is God, made man in the flesh, died and rose again for the sin of the world so that you may have eternal life. What works must you do? Just believe. Jesus answered, "The work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent." (John 6:29)

"The answer to every question is to come back to the Present" says John... Acutally, no, the answer is to come back to God the Father through Jesus Christ. Galatians 1:8-9 says... But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let them be under God’s curse! As we have already said, so now I say again: If anybody is preaching to you a gospel other than what you accepted, let them be under God’s curse!

[@nickhuddlestonartist]

To be in the present is to be in the presence of god, until you realize this you will struggle in opposition

“Gods curse”? I’m afraid you may be only experiencing faith through your limited logical mind and are missing direct experience of the divine. Hope you can find peace 💚
